Present Doctrine Ancient
According to the statement issued
by the committee, the riparian doe
trine was taken from the common
law of England, where diversion of
water for irrigation was practically
unknown, and it is unsuited to the
needs of California, where the very
life of the state depends upon flood
storage and widespread diversion
Nevertheless the amendment does
not abolish riparian rights, but as
sures to the riparian owners all the
water they may beneficially use
while permitting the storage or di
version of water now wasted so that
| they may he used for cities or lands
away from stream hanks.
Votes for the amendment are ask
! cd by the committee on the ground
! that "the state, with its vital ne
ccssity for the full use of all its
! water resources, cannot tolerate sucl
a claim as is made by the ripar
| ian owners. "Thc right of the rip
j arian owner-and the right of every
other user of watcr-should be lin
] tied to the water he really needs.

RECLAIMED LAND
POLICY IS STUDIED
Discussed by Civic 0rganiza-
tions-NeW irrigation Prof.
eCts Slowed Down.

One of the most important questions
from the Interior Department to come
before Congress next month is the map
ping of the Nations policy of reclama-
ton. in the light of the depression in
agriculture and disinclination of mod
ern people to endure the hardShips of
settling on a tract of reclaimed land.
This was accentuated yesterday by DR..
Elwood Mead. Commissioner of Recla-
nation. who pointed out that during
the past few months some of the lead
ing civic organizations in the country
have been studying and discussing
problems relating to Federal reclama-
ton.
Whether the Federal Government
should cease building works to irrigate
more land until the present agricultural
depression has been alleviated and
there is need for more crops is a ques-
ton that the Chamber of Commerce
of the United States is endeavoring to
flnd an answer to through question
naire to its member organizations.
Suspension Recommended.
Suspension of construction of new
works until projects now under con-
struction have been completed was rec
commended by an investigating COM
mittee of the American Society of Civil
Engineers at San Diego last month
In an address before the San Diego
gathering, DR.. Mead called attention to
the point that irrigation of new lands
by the Government or by private en-
terprise is being automatically slowed
down by the unwillingnesS of people to
undergo the hardships and privations,
which. under present laws and condi-
tions are inseparable from making
homes on the unleveled sagebrush
lands.
Change in the mode of American liv-
ing, with the attendant comforts OF new
inventions, DR.. Mead said, makes life
on an irrigated tract unattract1ve In
deed Further. he declared. the cost OF
| changing a piece of raw land into a
farm costs three or four times as much
as it used to and city wages are far
greater than the income from par
TALLY developed farm.
Questions Considered.
The American Society Of Civil Engi-
neers was advised by its investigating
committee that had the subject under
consideration for about two years, that
it had considered the question OF
whether settlers on Government prof.
ects should be required TO pay interest
| on the cost OF WORKS, ana also WHETHER
the Western States should not take
larger responsibility, both in the loca-
ton and construction of new projects
Heads of the engineering departments
of the II arid and semi-arid States
comprising the Association of Western
State Engineers, discussed this question
october 30 and 30--just a few days
ago-Dr. Mead explained at meeting
| held at Salt Lake City. This meeting
too, reviewed the relation OF the State
and Federal Government to the works
to conserve and bring into use the idle
land and wasted water.
Secretary West. who soon after his
appointment as Secretary of the In
terror. made an extended trip over Feo-
eral reclamation projects to enable him
to become familiar with them at first
hand, is expected to have important
recommendations to make to Congress
next month on this topic.

JUDGE BACKS POLICE
IN SPEEDING TRIAL
Buses and Other Public Vehicles
Under Police Regulation,
Court Holds.

Buses and other public utility vehicles
come under the jurisdiction of the Police
Court and are amenable to the regula-
tions of the traffic act as applies to
speed, it was decided by Judge Isaac r.
Hit yesterday in Police Court, in over
ruling a motion to quaSh the informa-
ton charging Henry G. Leonard with
speeding.
Leonard, a bus driver for company
operating in the District of Columbia
and Virginia, was arrested several
months ago for exceeding the speed
limit on Pennsylvania avenue. Through
his attorney, John Paul Jones. he con-
tended the traffic act did not divest the
Public Utilities Commission of its au-
thority, and as the commission had
approved the schedule under which the
busses were operated they were en-
powered to act in speed cases rather
than the regular court. The schedule
as approved calls for an average speed
of IL miles an hour through the city,
but it was testified at the hearing on
the motion that at times speed of 80
miles an hour had to be made In order
to maintain that average.
In overruling the motion Judge Hit
sustained the contention of Assistant
Corporation Counsel Chester H. Gray,
who appeared for the Government, that
in arresting Leonard for speeding the
police were within their jurisdiction.
