Joe Mellecker says he did not Endorse
The Deal.

EDITOR GLOBE REPUBLICAN-Dear Sir:
will you please retract the remarks made
in your last issue purporting to have been
made by me? l have been falsely mis-
quoted. The populists have never prom
ised to vote for j. Nj. Bell-nOt to my
knowledge.
did say, however, ''that some Of the
populists at Speareville were disposed to
vote for J. Nj. Bell, ''against which 1 re-
monstrated.
MIR. Argabright being candidate rep
resenting the country voters, 1 believed
he would get big vote outside of Dodge
City. and run ahead Of both the ether
candidates, and if he held his party vote in
the city, he would he elected, or in other
words, stood the best show on the ticket.
Dodge City has only about one-third of
the votes, yet they elected all of their
men.
In the city they always know how to
elect their men, but in the country they
always dance to the tune OF the old party
fiddle and get left.
j. e. MELLECKER.
In reference to the above, We will say,
if the Dodge City populists had voted for
Argabright he would have received more
votes than did J. NJ. Bell.
Every republican candidate who was
elected would have won if Dodge City
had not cast a vote, therefore there was
no conflict between city and country, so
far as the republicans were concerned,
but it is evident that Dodge City populists
would rather vote for Dodge City dem
'.,rat than for populist candidate in the
Country.

and Ford county generally, have cause to
congratulate themselves upon the fact
that the late election passed off without
leaving behind 1t that feeling of fractional
bitterness which does so much to hinder
communities from attaining the highest
possible measure of prosperity.
Just now is critical period in the his
tory of our development. The solving
of the water question by reason of the
newly improved methods of pumping, by
which the great ocean of water few
feet below our own feet can be placed
upon the surface at nominal cost, by
means of the never ceasing atmospheric
movement peculiar to these great plains,
has assured to southwestern Kansas de-
gree of productiveness which will far ex
coed that of any other region east of the
Rocky Mountains in tn UNITED States, as
to fruits. vegetables and live stock, which
will make necessary and provide for the
support of very dense population. With
such state Of affairs canning factories
will be inevitable to preserve for the
markets in other lands the great surplus
of fruits and vegetables that would 9TH
erwise 90 to waste. Other manufacture
ing industries, among which will be first
brick making for our dwellings, earthen-
ware, thing, ETC., will naturally follow
the dense settlement which invariably
accompanies irrigation farming. and
while these may, to certain extent, be
distributed among the different towns and
cities of southwestern Kansas, there will
be one point which will have the pre-em-
inence over all others in this region where
windmill pumping machinery for irriga-
ton purposes and farming implements
will be made in large quantities.
Such good fortune as to become the
manufacturing and commercial head
quarters does not usually come to a city
by accident or by chance.
1t will be by the deliberate choice of
outside capitalists, because there is not at
present sufficient capital owned by any
western Kansas community to found any
such industries as we have last named.
Other things being equal, strangers will
invariably select the place where harmO-
ny and good will prevails in commune
ty. If prominent citizens are spoken of
in terms of disparagement by each other
outsiders who come in to investigate will
avoid such place, and 60 where everyone
has only good thiHgs to say of his neigh
Dor, and where peace and pleasantness
prevails.
The editor of this paper has always
taken great interest in watching the |
growth and development of towns and
cities. We have, in our short life time,
observed several places smaller than
Dodge City grow into cities of from
% 900 to $1,000 people, and real estate
increase one hundred fold in actual value.
But we have also watched others equally
promising have their fond hopes COM
pletely blighted by facticnal strife and
personal bitterness among inhabitants
thereof.
Hence we congratulate our people that
the recent election has not left the roots
Of bitterness behind in Dodge City.

ONE SYST !. N.

We understand that over in the
eastern part of the state some of
the canal companies have adopted
a system like this: A settler
may either purchase land from
the company at moderate price
or take up government land. If
he purchase, the first year no
charge whatever is made for wa
ter; the second year IS cents per
inch is charged for water used on
land cleared and cultivated the
first year, but nothing charged
for new land; the third year IS
cents per inch is charged for wa
ter used on land cultivated the
first and second year, but Moth
ing charged for new land cleared
and cultivated. The same sys-
tenn operates until all the land is
under cultivation and the settler
gets the benefit of one years
water free. AT the expiration of

PLATFORM DISCUSSION.

In the Canyon County Repub-
ican convention is found the fol-
lowing language: 'sWe de-
mand that the present scale of
fees allowed for services to the
state and county shall be read
justed and regulated in conform
ity with the present wages of
labor and prices of products of
this state. - That plank to-
gether with others to which at
tention will be called later was
unanimously adopted by the
Nampa convention and the con-
vention was composed of repre-
sentative citizens. A platform is
supposed to enunciate the politi-
cal principles of the party which
constructs it, therefore, the Re-
publican party of Canyon county
is morally pledged to a readjust-
ment of fees for public services.
Whether the scale is to incline
or downWards, the plat

IS years, the settler receives
stock in the company to the full
amount of water used, such stock
representing so many inches of
water and thereafter he pays
nothing except PRO rata main
tenance fee either in cash or la
Dor. At no time is he required
to pay more than IS cents per
inch and when he becomes a
stock holder the maintenance rate
is merely nominal. If man
take up government land, he
pays So per inch for water right
for proving up purposes, but is
otherwise treated exactly as
though he had purchased land
from the company. That part of
the state where this system is in
operation is rapidly settling up.
The climate is not to be compared
to our climate here, the soil is no
better and the water is chemically
equal to ours. The canal COM
panies claim that they can make
all the money they can reasona-
bly, demand out of their invest
ment and that the system works
splendidly all around. Some
people in Canyon county might
think on this matter with profit to
themselves and untold benefit to
the country.

OUT OF the OLD.

THE TRIBUNE is always re-
joiced at the progress of those
who merit success and prosperity
More especially so when those to
whom good fortune comes are
among its honored friends and
patrons. Last Saturday, we
had the pleasure to note the
movement of Isidor Mayors large
stock of goods out of the old store
into the new and Monday, we
were permitted to inspect the
new quarters. 1t is needless here
to speak of the splendid display,
elegant, comfortable and conven-
lent arrangement. What we de-
sire to point out are the effects of
industry, enterprise and fair deal
ing. A few years ago, Mr..
Mayer came to Caldwell in COM
paratively reduced circumstances,
but from the day of his arrival he
has steadily climbed upward un-
til today he has one of the finest
general mercantile establishments
in the country. His reputation
is as wide as the state and his en-
ergy equal to all occasions. 1t is
not only to his credit that he has
been successful, but that he has
succeeded by honorable and legit-
innate means-by the practice of
correct business methods. The
new store is 25x125 feet, two
story, solid brick, iron roof and
iron ceiling. The front is Of
plate glass and the first intro
duced into the city. The large
building is we'll filled with fresh
goods and a constant stream of
attest the public appre-
citation. Mr.. Mayer is not only
active and enterprlslng in his pri-
vate affairs, but he takes lively
and generous interest in public
matters, being leading spirit in
every movement for the growth
and advancement of Caldwell as
a whole. Everybody is pleased
with the substantial manifesto
tons of Mr.. Mayors prosperity
and the worst wished for him is
that his good fortune will never
desert him.

vices ought to be reduced. Then
why did not the convention spec
ify by demanding that the legal
rate of mileage be fixed at ten
cents per mile; that the pay of
jurors and witnesses be 81. 50
per day; that the fees of consta-
bles and sheriffs be reduced fifty
per cent; that the percentage of
assessors and treasurers be cut
down one-half? But that kind
of a resolution would lack the
sounding consonance of economic
erudition; it would be common
place, plain matter of fact, busi-
ness. Any scrub could under
stand it at a glance, and that
would amount to an impeachment
of the profundity of the conven-
ton.
The Caldwell tribune. [volume] (Caldwell, Idaho Territory [Idaho]) 1883-1928, 1894-12-05

We WONDER if the Republi-
can legislators who convene at
Boise City on the first of next
month are going to have courage
enough to tackle the water ques-
ton and craftsmanship enough to
satisfactorily dispose of it. We
hope they will. We hope they
will lay aside all fear and preju-
dice and formulate and enact a
law that will be creditable to the
great state they have the honor
to represent. Having due re-
spect to the interest of investors,
they must never forget the supe-
rior rights of the people and that
the growth and prosperity of the
commonwealth depend on just
and liberal solution of the ques-
ton. The legislators will make
a grave mistake if they shirk the
duty which by promise and lmPh-
cation they have assumed. 1t
will amount to an acknowledge
ment that the Republican party
is not equal to the demands of the
times and it will result in
reputation of it at the next
election. This legislature is ex-
pected to announce and adopt the
Republican policy on irrigation
and as it is good or bad will be
the future success of the party.

SHOULD BE DETERMINED.

The supreme court ought to be
invoked to determine whether or
not the constitutional amendment
segregating the offices of probate
Judge and county school superin-
tendent carried or lost. The
vote stands GAO for and 1870
against, while the total vote on
the general ticket approximates
IS, 900, showing that between
sixteen and seventeen thousand
electors failed to vote ON the
amendment. 1t is given out as
Attorney General Parsons opin-
ion that the amendment has fail
ed, because it did not receive the
affirmative vote of a majority of
the electors; but it did receive
large majority of the vote cast on
the proposition, hence there is
some question as to what has act
ually happened to the proposed
amendment. The question ought
to be settled, because according to
the Republican platform an amend
ment granting equal suffrage
to the sexes will be submitted at
the next election, and if it really
requires majority of all the cleo
tors to vote for the proposition it
will never be carried. In the
first place, not one woman in forty
cares anything about suffrage
and the men of Idaho appreciate
their own experience too intensely
to urge their wives to cultivate
politics. The Populists are apt
to be unanimously Indifferent to
it and if the proposition can be
beaten by simply ignoring it at
the polls, it is safe to predict that
the era of woman's rights is yet
at considerable remoteness.

form sayeth not, but the inference
and general understanding are
that public compensations shall be
reduced all along the line. Evil
IDENTIFY, that class of compensa-
tons coming under the head of
official fees is not alone meant,
then what other fees require re-.
adjustment and regulation? The
language of the resolution is very
plain, but the application is vague
and when it is undertaken to fol-
How it out in practice some diff
Guilty will be encountered. Sup
pose we try to regulate public
fees to conform with the wages
of labor. The lowest priced
labor commands one dollar a day
and board, but the laborer is dis
satisfied almost to the point of
anarchy and swears that he is be-
ing robbed Of his just proportion
of the fruits of industry. He
will not work for one dollar day
unless obliged to do so by actual
want. He protests against the
dollar a day wage as only fit for
Japs and Cinnamon. Hence, in
any effort to adjust public COM
pensations, the lowest priced labor
must be left out of consideration.
The average mechanic receives
three dollars day and the high
ly skilled from four to eight dol
lars; clerks in stores are paid
from two and a half to three dol
lars, but they are inclined to
complain; book-keepers receive
from three to five dollars, and
cashiers in banks are paid from
five to ten dollars per day.
From this it may be seen that it
will be somewhat difficult to ad-
just a jurors FER diem to con-
form with the wages of labor.
The great trouble is that there is
no method of arriving at the val
ue of public services. What is a
juryman worth to the state, per
day? What is the cash equiva-
lent of a witness service in a
criminal case? The state COM
pels the citizens to lay aside
everything and without unneces-
sary delay appear to serve as
juror or testify as a witness. If
the state fix any compensation, it
must be a reasonable one. The
state must be just and if the COM
pensation be in conformity with
the lowest wage of labor, it is a
virtual acknowledgement that in
the eyes of the people low wages
are just. To provide no COM
pensation, is a virtual reputation
Of the well established principle
that it is better every member of
the community should bear little
Of the burden of government than
that one member should bear a
great deal. In considering the
question of wages as applied to
jurors and witnesses it may be
well to inquire what, under sim
liar circumstances, would be de-
manded for private services.
Would man drop his private
affairs, however pressing, and
hasten off at any moment to serve
a private employer for such COM
oensation as laborers ordinarily
receive? If not why should his
fees for public services be based
IN the wages of labor? Therefore,
n our judgment, there being
10 similarity between the services
and no analogy between the con-
lititions of this class of public
service and general employment,
t will be impossible to arrive at a
satisfactory adjustment based up
On the prevailing rate of labor
wages. If all laborers were sat-
SIZED with their WAGES. or if il
