IF Mr.. Broderick promised to get out
of the way this year, as is asserted by
Mr.. Bailey of Baileyville, he should not
have done SO. He had no right to do SO
and the promise is not binding. As a
patriotic citizen a man owes certain
duties to the state which cannot be laid
aside at his pleasure. If the people of
the First congressional district wish Mr..
Broderick to represent them in congress
another term, they have a right to his
services. If he has surrendered that
right he has disposed of something
which did not belong to him.

SENATOR BAKERS announcement that
nothing will be done by the present
congress, will not cause any surprise
When Mr.. Reed was made speaker of
the house, he promised a course of mac
ton, and the result has proven that he
has the house sufficiently well in hand to
prevent any legislation. The situation
is simply that the country must wait for
needed legislation, so that this or that
political party may avoid the necessity
of committing itself on important ques-
tions.

AN entirely new Legislature should be
elected this year; one that can enact
some legislation in accordance with the
constitution. 1t seems that all the acts
of the last legislature are being declared
unconstitutional as rapidly as the courts
can get at them. May be proper rem
edy would be a change in the courts;
but something should be done. 1t is q
great waste of time and money to have a
body of men come up here once every
two years, remain sixty days or longer,
pass a lot of laws and then have another
party of men. who are also in the pay of
the state, declare that the legislative
action is unconstitutional and void.

it might be as we'll to abolish the Iegis-

The French Tax Bicycles.

The French tax bicycles at a rate Of
about 81 25 each a year, the yield in 1894
being about $500, 900. There ara said to
be some $50, 900 machines in France,
and the number increases rapidly. The
bicycle is said to BE- doing great things fer
the French physically and commercially.
They find exercise on it to their taste,
while not given much to other kinds OF
sport. Very light machines are preferred.
The tax is not objected to because it gives
riders q recognized legal status.

SECRETARY CARLISLE is extremely con-
scientious when his couscientiousnes
tends to filling the Golfers of Pierpont
Morgan. He thinks that because the
bond proposal declared no more bids
would be received after a certain date,
therefore bonds not taken by those to
whom they are awarded, cannot be al
lowed to go to new applicants. though
they are willing to pay higher price
than the Morgan bid. He seems to have
no ualms of official conscience what
ever, when deliberately violating the law
which requires him to use his best en- :
deavors to keep gold and silver on a
parity. Instead of doing this he stu.
diously destroyed the parity and in
creased the divergence between the two
metals by refusing to acknowledge silver
as a money. Gold and silver coins are on
a parity yet, but the metals are not. The
law says the metals, and says nothing of
coins. How can the parity be main
tanned when one of the metals is dis
credited after being coined, besides be-
ing excluded from the mints3

SENATOR ALIENS suggestion that the
people be called upon to testify in the
matter of the Pacific railroads is a good
one. 1t would be safer to consult the
people on all matters of great public i'm
port, the tariff and silver, for instance,
than to always call in the parties inter
ested in but one side of the question as
has been the custom. When a railroad
matter is to be settled, only railroad mag
mates are consulted; when the tariff is to
be adjusted, only the manufactures are
invited to make known their views;
when the financial policy of the govern
ment is under consideration, the gole
monometalists are consulted. Let the
people-the other side be heard.

GOOD FOR WEIsER LAND.

The validity of the Wright Law, of
California, has been sustained by the
Supreme court OF the United States.
Judge Ross has been reversed as
the SIGNAL predicted lie would be- at
the time of his revolutionary decis
ion The decision states in part:
while the consideration that the work
OF irrigation must be aboned if the use of
the waterway not be held TO be or consti-
tute public use IL is not to be regarded
AS conclusive in favor of such use yet the
Tact is IN this case II most important CON
sideration Millions of acres of land
otherwise cultivabe must be left in their
present arid and worthless condition, and
an eifectual obstacle will therefore re-
main in the way of the advance of large
| proportion of the state in material wealth
AMI prosperity.
TO irrigate and thus bring into pos
sble cultivation these large masses of
otherwise worthless lands would seem to
be public purpose and Il matter of pub
Inc interest not confined to the land own
ers or even to any one section Of the state
The fact that the use of water is limited
to the land owner is therefore not fatal
objection TO this legislation. 1t is not es-
sential that the entire community or even
any considerable portion thereof should
directly enjoy or participate in an i'm
prOvement in order to constitute public
use. All land owners in the district have
Il right TO proportonate share of the
water and no one land owner is favored
over his fellow in the right of the use of
the water. 1t is necessary in order that
the use should be public that every resi-
dent in the district should have the right
to the use of the water"
That decision is defeat of monop-
oily and means that the people them
selves shall have power to control
their water supply and convey it to
their lands without having to sur
render to private corporations which
have in many instances proven to be
inimical to agricultural interests. The
decision will be welcomed by several
states outside of California. Among
them is Idaho, which has formu lated
a law based on the Wright law, and
number of projects for public water
systems and escape from corporate
cinch were on foot when the Ross
decision stopped proceedings. They
can now go ahead, and the officers of
the Caldwell Irrigation District, the
first one organized in the state, are
preparing to push ahead with the
original plans. The decision is also
good for Weiser land as it removes
the last doubt Of the legal right of
the people Of this favored spot of
earth to take such steps as they see
fit TO forever shut out the water tyr
amy experienced in some parts of
this state, which we have been fortu-
nate enough to escape, but which
might at any time make its appear
ance. The people here may not see
fit to revive the agitation had, pre-
vious to the Ross decision, towards
organizing district, but we think
good reason and judgment would die
tate that the farming interests Of
Weiser should speedily own its own
water supply and operate the same
at actual cost thus saving themselves
all the profits which any company
must get from them in some way.
