And I <br /> <br />suggest we instruct the drafting committco to work out the idoas <br /> <br />froOly along that line for us, rathor than that wo should attempt <br /> <br />to work them out. Another quostion arises also on this, and that <br /> <br />is the concurront importance of certain amount of powor for ir- <br /> <br />rigation purposos. It should have an oqual rank with agriculture <br /> <br />itsolf - because much irrigation is depondent upon tho uso of <br /> <br />power. If wo, perhaps, leave those ideas to the drafting com- <br /> <br />~ <br /> <br />mittoo to try to work out we will get along better. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />1m.
