4 BIG BILLS !,

Tariff, Appro-

WASHINGTON, Feb. l2.- LF -
Ship sales, the tariff, an a~ppropria-

four today at the capitol.
The house with the taking I'D OF

The senate has before 10 Senator

recommendation that IL be enacted

So that, regardless Of the wording
Of bills passed BY either branch, the
only measure affecting water that

that safeguards the interests Of the
middle ard southern country, and
opens the way fer the extension OF
irrigation development in the west.

mittees were told, will bring about
more new irrigation projects. and
benefit more sections Of the state
than have built dams and reservoirs
II all the years Of the past.

the words Of Representative Tlllot-
son, it gives the state again a def

alton Of the water districts.
The legislature has been busy,
since the famous San Saba water
decision was handed down BY third
civil appeals court, in passing vail
dating acts BY which IL attempted
to make saleable bonds Of various
water districts. The new Law will
replace the need for future validat-

the water cases, that can be followed
