ROOSEVELT'S PLAN NO GOOD
Six Mutual Water Companies in I'M
perial Valley Would Lose
Vested Rights.

Imperial. Cal. Jan. 1.-THE directors
of the six mutual water companies in
the Imperial valley, which includes all
irrigatois. are IN session today TO re-
organize the Water Users association.
More than half of all the farms in the
valley exceed an area of 100 acres. which
is the greatest amount that can be ir-
rigated by the government irrigation
system. and for this reason and others
ii is evident that all of these mutual
companies will withhold approval of
President Roosevelt's policy of a gov
eminent irrigation system for Imperial
until some basis is found for protecting
the vested rights to land and water OBJ
tanned under the desert land act 1t is
hoped here that the government will
build an irrigation system in this val
ley. covering the undeVelOped desert but
leaving the mutul water companies in
tact. with rights undisturbed. the gov
eminent and the latter companies hav-
ing joint use Of the main canals
Unless there is some such adjustment
the farmers will strenuously oppose the
presidents project and seek TO acquire
the system for themselves. Two hun
dred and eighteen thousand acres have
acquired water rights and more than
half is under actual cultivation. Equal
~ as much land still remains TO be re-
claimed by the government

High Old Time in Caucus.

The caucus which immedia tely followed
the adjournment Of the house disproved
the assertion that everybody was happy.
In fact the lack of harmony and salts
action was painfully apparent.
The arrangement OF the committees was
the subject OF discussion and the speaker
was compelled TO listen To a good deal
Of rough and ready comment that made
his ears tingle. a motion to indorse the
appointments OF the speaker met with
such a violent protest that il was with
dra WE.
Speaker Joseph attempted to explain
that ne had done the best he could under
the circumstances. which. in view Of the
presence i'm his room Wednesday night of
United States Marshal Spry and Surveyor
General Hull. was a reasonable eXplana-
ton.
Several members are alleged to have
spoken their minds quite freely, with the
result that the speaker agreed to make
some changes in the committees. 1t re-
mains to be seen whether he will stand
up 10 the promises. The speaker deserted
the political headquarters at the Wilson
after the caucus.

JOSEPH'S HAND

Raise Big Kick.

Everything was supposed to be lovely
and the goose honking high in Republican
legislative circles.
Speaker Joseph said yesterday that ev
erybody was happy and he was the hap
pest man in the bunch.
But his own looks and the appearance
of other Republican statesmen belied the
assertion.
As matter OF fact the aggressive
speaker surrendered completely to the So
called federal bunch. which surrender
needs no Interpretation.
The surrender Of the aggressive speaker
was heralded in his committee appoint

speaker violated his repeated pledge to

Why Robinson Was sheIved.

Mr.. Robinson is a lawyer and newspaper
man of Bingham Canyon and is sun
posed to have incurred the IN will Of the
federal bunch by his activity in ouSting
a postmaster at the big mining camp.
After announcing that he would not re-
port his committees before Saturday
Speaker Joseph suddenly reported them
directly after the chaplain had invoked
the divine blessing on the assembled law
makers yesterday.
This was followed by the reading and
adoption Of the Joseph rules which per-
NIT the speaker TO force any committee
to make a report upon any proposition
