First, it provides the abandonment

proven workable, just, and calcu'te
to best Qualize the opportunity OF rich

method calling for the maximum of in
formal service by administrative de.

able to invoke its destructive and eX-

pick character.
Second, it proposes the abandon
ment of a system involving principle
in the determination OF water rights
for which the state, speaking through
many legislatures and through many
administrations of this office, has con-
sistently stood after critical study and
comparison of the same and other
principles and systems, here and else
where.
Third, it proposes the abandonment
of system which has been establish

federal court for this state, after many

Notwithstanding assurances of

but protracted court litigation await
ing the great majority of the water
users ii this act were TO become a law.
The accurate and final determination
of the individual right under the west
ern doctrine OF water appropriation is
impossible unless the rights of all of
the appropriators on particular
strain system are determined in a
single continuous operation: for this
determination involves the relative
priorities, characters and oNtcnus of
rights which are interdepCndent and
inter-related and hence must be estab-
lished in their respective relationship
each to all others of earlier priority.
These rights on 4 particular system or
stream system must therefore be de-
termined by process requiring 4 sub.
of evidence by all the users on
said stream.
THE completely of such a problem
when handled by ordinary court meth
DDS Involving as it usually does very
numbers of Iitigants) has
acted as an effectual bar to its solu-
ton under the general statutes. and Of.
forts have therefore been made in the
majority of the western states to Sc
cure such notifications of the Civil
Practice Codes, insofar as they apply,

rs the respective state constitutions
will permit,-the formalities. delays
and expense found to be inevitable
under ordinary court procedure in the
trial of water cases.
wyoming in its constitution dele
gated broader administrative powers
in the determination of water rights
than had any of the western states.
Subsequent legislation providing for
purely administrative determination in
that state, was held constitutional. and
it is significant fact with the pos.
sible exception of Nebraska, which
later adopted a similar administrative
procedure), the nearest approach to
statewide. classical and fin
al determination of all of the water
rights obtained with a minimum of
expenses and litigation, is to be found
in that state.
Nevada in 1903, after forty years of
bootless litigation in the courts and
under civil practice code which per
mitted essentially the same court pro
cedure as that outlined in the as
sembly bill before mel, attempted TO
delegate similar broad powers 10 the
