JUDGE BURCH'S ARGUMENT

Judge Burch in opening referred tc
the case as one that promised to be
memorable in later times. He com
mended the spirit of the kindness. dis
played by counsel In the progress Of
the case, and paid deserved tribute te
the uniform kindness and consideration
displayed by the court. Taking ur
Mr.. Hawkins's contention that no de-
cree could be framed to take middle
ground in the case, Judge Burch dis
claimed any desire to obsSruct the
building of the Elephant Butte dam.
But he also disclaimed any feeling OF
weakenss in the governments case.
II the defendants chose to refuse any
decree that took middle or COM
promise ground, and demand the whole
loaf or none, it was their privilege.
Turning to criticism of the govern
ment for not bringing experts. Judge
Burch said he hadn't much use for ex-
perts anyhow. especially army en-
ally. They were biased by their profess
sional interests and the nature Of their
employment. Experts could not be
got in the arid west to testify in q suit
like this against the interest of
their section of country. Moreover.
experts required long study,
or the results of long study, of such q
question as that before being willing
to express an opinion. Experts were
to stake their professional
reputation on differences drawn from
meager data. The government had
not brought such experts because IL
was not thought worth the govern
ment's time and money.
To this it may be replied that the
one expert whom the defendant
brought, Prof. L. G. Carpenter,
rendered valuable service In elucfdat-
ing and interpreting the facts; and
that the defendant would have had
more experts had not somebody, in
some cases personally, in some cases by
letter, and in some cases by appeal to
heads of government departments to
restrain government employees from
