port, which seems to be reliable,
we learn that the Board will recon.
mend the immediate construction OF
the Deer Flat reservoir. For this
purpose it is proposed TO divert ST.,
100000 from the appropriations to
the Minidoka pumping plant, and
recommend an additional appropri-
alton of 81, ZOO, 900. This means
that $2,25o,ooo will be expended
in developing the Deer Flat scheme.
AS we understand it, a canal will
be constructed from a point on the
Boise, near the head of the New
York canal, or the New York
works may be appropriated. This
canal is to conduct flood water suf-
tlclent' to fill the Deer Fiat reservoir.
The reservoir will distribute water
at level 40 feet higher than the
Phyllis. 1t will afford an ample
late season supply to all lands with
in the Pioneer Irrigation District,
entitled to water by virtue of con-
tract with Government. The ben
eft to district lands, will accrue at
once, because the distributing sys-
TEN is practically completed. The
people of the district may soon
have abundant occasion for con-
graduating themselves and thank
ing the District Directors for push
ing to completion of the main canals
and large laterals. 1t is certain
that the government works will for
number of years supply large
surplus of water. AS much of this
as may be needed can be diverted
into the Phyllis at its lower levels
thus avoiding any stress on the side
hill section until the banks become
thoroughly settled. 1t seems to us
that the people of the District have
more cause for rejoicing, than wor-
rying over who furnished lumber
and nails. We recommend to them
that they instruct the directors to |
cooperate with and assist the Wa
tel Users Association in every pos
Slble way, and we caution them
that this new development respect
ing the probable action of the Gov
ernment is an additional reason for
having experienced men on the
Board. In the years which are to
come, there arc liable to be short
water seasons, and it may be very
that lands within this
District should be first to utilize the
Government works. 1t is predicted
oy those in good position to form
correct conclusions that work on
he Deer Flat reservoir will begin
his spring.

THE LEGISLATURE AND THINGS

the LEGISLATURE AND THINGS
Y 1t speaks well for the member.
! Of the present legislature that they
= have acquitted themselves in suct
! manner as to evoke but little seri
Gus adverse criticism. 1t is true
that a few trivial and foolish meas.
ures have been, promulgated by in
: divlduals, but they have been wise.
. ly disposed of by the collective
body. The session has been pro.
ductive of sufficient beneficial and
wholesome legislation to fully just.
1fy its existence, and the members
will return to their homes with the
appreciation of great majority OF
the people, provided they make no
missteps in the closing days of the
session.
| 1t has become the habit of the
times to traduce and ridicule legis-
lative bodies. There is none so
modest as to deem himself incapa-
BILE of instructing them, and few so
amiable as to refrain from exercis-
ing their wit or spleen at the ex-
pense of members upon the slight
est provocation. In view of the
reputation which men generally ac-
quire through serving term in the
Legislature, the wonder is not that
incompetent and ill-disposed men
get there, but that any other kind
should take the risk. Upon the
whole, legislators aim to do the
things demanded of them by their
respective constituencies, and mis-
takes in legislation are more often
chargeable to selfish and unreason-
ing constituencies than to the ig-
norance or perversity of representa-
tlves. 1t is true that some mis-
takes are made in consequence of a
lack of experience The cunning
of lobbyists often deceive and mis-
lead men of honest purpose, and
the tricks of parliamentarians often
illustrate the best designs of wise
representatives. These things will
always happen, and never grow
less until the people appreciate the
advantage of re-electing all those
who have shown themselves to be
fairly competent and upright. Ex-
perience counts for just as much in
legislation as in finance or me-
chanics. You cannot reasonably
expect any more from a raw men,
Der than from a new apprentice. |
Like the apprentice, the raw mem
Der may know the right thing to |
do but does not know how to do it. |
1t takes experience to teach him.
On the average, the second term
legislator is worth four times as
the first term legislator and the
third term man becomes Journey
man, worth a dozen raw hanos.
The people can do no wiser thing
than keep this in mind and act ac-
cordingly. They have no right to
complain Of bad legislation so long
as they persist in refusing to give
their legislators a chance to learn
the trade, A manufacturer who
every sixty days would turn his
business over to a lot of new ap-
prentices would be considered crazy,
p people who DO substantially the
same thing cannot be regarded as
sane. This all brings US
to the conclusion that practically
all the members of the present leg
islature ought to be reelected.
Taken altogether they constitute
as good a body of men as we are
likely ever to get together. There
is in them the stuff ont of which
statesmen are made. By all means,
let us give them a chance to de-
velop.
