EXACTLY THE RIGHT IDEA
(Contributed)

To build expensive dams and irri-
eating systems for lands only that
now have the benefit OF water with
out such. would be an absolute folly.
To ask that lands not now irrigated
should bear the burden OF taxation
incident to formation Of a district,
construction etc. would be an injus'
tice. Let the irrigated and produc-
ing lands assume all financial re-
sponsibilities In that respect--and
the conserved waste water under the
improved system, when delivered TO-
and paid for. by the now arid lands
pay a reasonable interest on the In
yestment, the same as on any other
Legitimate business enterprise.
