WRIGHT LAW Is UPHELD.
The ConstitutionaIity OF the Irrigation
statute Affirmed.

Washington, Nov. 1.-THE United
States supreme court Monday rendered
an opinion sustaining the constitution
ality OF the Wright irrigation law OF
California and overruling the decision
of the United States circuit court for
the district of California. which was
against the laws validity. The case
in which the opinion was rendered was
that of the Fall Brook Irrigation COM
pany versus Maria King Bradley. 1t
has attracted widespread interest
throughout the Rocky mountain and
Pacific coast regions because of its i'm
portance TO the material interests of
the entire arid belt. and In the central
west and east the suit gained promi
nence through the fact that ex-Presi-
dent Harrison was of counsel who ar
gued the case before the supreme court.
whose decision has been awaited for
months. having been pending a consid
erable part OF the preceding term OF
court
Justice Peckham delivered the courts 5
decision. lie departed from the usual
custom of the justices. in that he did
not read the opinion on which the court
based its conclusion, but simply an
nounced that 1t had decided to uphold
the law. There were two cases before
the supreme court involving the consti'
tutionallty of the Wright law permit
ting the state of California to be divid-
ed into irrigation districts and property
in the districts taxed Ior the construc'
tion of irrigation works. One of these
involved the Fall Brook irrigation dis
trict and the other the Modesti district
The same points were raised In both
but tne Fall Brook case was appealed
from the decision of the federal circuit
court. while the Modesti case was
brought up from the California state
supreme court In the federal court
the decision was against the Wright
law. while in the state court the law
was sustained. Mondays decision viii
apply to both suits.
The Importance of the decision is mo-
confined to the state of California. bu
affects the irrigation interests of the
entire semi-arid region. many of th'
states of which have adopted the law
The case also involved the broad con
stitutional question of the right of tax
alton and the taking of private proper

| decision.

WISCONSIN IN CABINET.
Congressman Babcock Is Pushing Payne
for Portfolio.

Madison, Wis, Nov. l7.-Rumors that
Wisconsin is likely 20 have a place in
McKinley's cabinet have created con-
siderable comment. Interest In the
boom OF II. &. Payne Of Milwaukee was
intensified by the report from New York
that ex-Congressman r. NJ. LaFollette
of Madison would be one of those
chosen The two men are leaders in
hostile camps in the Republican party.
and the selection OF either would be
political blow to the other. An odd
feature of the situation Is that both La
Toilette and Payne are close to the In
coming administration, Payne being an
intimate friend of Chairman Hanna
and LaFollette of the president-elect.
having served with him on the ways
and means committee that framed the
Mckinley law. Should the president
elect choose a man from this state for
his political family it is thought that
IL would be for the portfolio OF agri-
culture and In that case Ex-Governor
w. D. Hoard of Fort Atkinson is most
likely to be selected of all Wisconsin
Republicans.
The course of Congressman Babcock
Of the Thirt congressional district in
pushing Payne for the cabinet is at
| tracing considerable attention. Bab-
| cock Is a candidate for the seat in the
United States senate now occupied by
| Senator Mitchell. ard which becomes
vacant by Mitchell's term expiring
two years from the 4th of March. 1t
is understood that Payne and LaFol-
lette also have their eyes upon the SEN
atorshp. Baocock would draw his sup
port in a senatorial fight from the same
sources as would Payne. Payne In the
cabinet, however. would leave Babcock
to settle differences with LaFollette
alone and considerably Increase
his chances of success.
