Some ss The Northsidsr Figure
How to Get Water Next Year,

CALpWELL, Oct. IA move
meRt haa been put on loot by the
North Side Homesteudera asso-
ciation whereby it may be posi-
BILE tor those dry land farmers to
obtain water hAfors the govern
ment project on the north side
can he finished.
The association has taken UP
the matter with the government
and the proposition seems to
meet the approval Of the depart
ment Of the interior.
The line OF the Farlnera Union
ditch Is above u large portion Of
the north side tract, and a plan
rs being formed whereby the sur
plus OF the aouth side reservoir
may be mado to serve the far
mers on the north through this
ditch.
The great bulk OF the water
which will fill the reservoir will
come from the spring flow and
the suggestion has been made
that the ground he wateped by
the surplus from the reservoir.
1t IL estimated that 40 percen
over the amount used to water
the dry farms on the south side
will be held in the reservoir and
an interchange may be effected
giving the land already watered
from the Boise irrigation service
from the reservoir and diverting
the water now brought down the
south side to the north, through
the Farmers Union, thus max
ing that ditch to uouhle it's pres
ent capacity and admit of exten-
sion into the dry land tract.
This proposition has been sug-
gested to the department and Il
letter containing the following
statement was received this
morning by the chairman OF the
association from Acting Director
A. II. Davis.
II am satisfied that this office
and the interior department
would look with favor upon any
feasible plan for cooperation on
the part OF the land holders that
would expedite the construction
Of this branch OF the project. A
movement along this line would
undoubtedly have a bearing up
on the allotment for expenditure
rom the reclamation fund in the
future. ! shall be glad to hear
any feasible proposition OF this
kind you may mention.-States-
man.

Injunction Set Aside

Tuesday In the DISTRICT court
Judge Wood, after q trial lasting
all day and in which nearly 20
witness testified, denied an in
Junction ppal cd for againat D.
W. Ross forbidding him to shut
off the water In the New York
canal. The Judge decided from
the ahowings made that it was
necessary for Engineer Ross to
shut oil the water in order to
make badly needed repairs in the
canal.
On September 21 it was repor-
ted by usera Of water from the
canal that the watep had been
shut off at the headgate by MIR.
Ross aud an Injunction against
him was prayed for and granted.
The settlers, by their attorneys,
Morrison y Pence, claimed that
such action would seriously effect
their crops. Monday Attorney
McElroy for Ross appeared with
u motion to quash the injunction.
The motion was sustained and
the-plaintiffs given permission to
file an amended complaint. The
amended complaint was filed yes
terday morning and the answer
soon after. The witnesses were
present and the cnse went on for
trial. Some extensive repairs
are to be made and the canal in
some places is to be enlarged.
Work on the Boise e-Payette
government project is moving
along in such 81 manner as to
make certain its completion early
next spring.
w. II. Thompson, who has a
contract to enlarge the upper
third of the New York canal, has
"a large steam outht employed
and will complete his work i'll
about two months at a cost OF
about $4,000.
Page & Brenton who have the
middle and third sections of the
canal, are not working a very
large force and viii probably be
the last to finish up. They have
over 200, 900 yards OF earth and
rock work ahead OF them. Their
contract will amount to about
$25O,000.
Wilhite and Conway, who have
the section between Indian creek
aud the reservoir. expect to finish
their work by the end of this
month at a cost of about $150,-
600.
Hubbard and Cailson who have
a section of the great dam will
finish within tIenext two months
with favorable weather at a cost
OF S275,000. The government
is doing the balance OF the work
and viii finish early in thespI-iug.
The Utah Fire Proofing com
pany chat has the contract foI
the large dam in the Boise
river tract above town, is max.
ing better progressof late and
bids fair to finish up on time.

Initiative and
Referendum
The Right Of the Masses by Vote
-lts Bound 10 Come,

BY Geo. II, shihley Pres. Natq Peder-
alton Peoples Rule.
The Peoples Rule in place OF
machine rule hAs become q live
NATIONAL iasue. Mr.. Taft has
publicly taksn 1t up hy attack
ing the initiative and referen.
DUN, az also have the Oklahoma
republican leaders.
Heretofore the opposition has
kept itself from view, fearing dis
onGsion. But the movement has
reached point where 1t is oarry-
ing everything before it, which
has compelled monopolists and
their attorneys to publicly com
bat the extension OF the people 5
power or lose their monopoly
privileges. Following are the
Illustrations OF the voters
practically unanimous senti-
ment for mare power in them
selvea.
In Oregon in 1902 the people
Installed the initiative and refer
endum hy a vote OF II to /.
There had been o four years
campaign.
The same year In Illinois with
only u small amount oiprelimin-
airy discussion aud advisory vote
by the people was 5 to !. In
republican counties the majority
was largest, being as high as y
to.l
Last year in Montana the peo-
pie adopted a constitutional
amendment for the initiative and
referendum by q vote of 6 to /.
Two yenrs before an advisory
vote was taken in Delaware in
which the people instructed the
legislature to install q direct
vote system forpublic questions.
The majority was 9 to 1.
Last spring in Maine the Leg
islature submitted q constitu-
tional amendment for the initi-
ative and referendum and the
vote was unanimous.
The last House in Pennsylvan-
ia passed q bill to establish the
initiative and referendum in cit
les, and boroughs and here too
the vote was unanimous.
There are but two examples OF
where the initiative and referen-
DUN has become a party issue;
in Ohio and Oklahoma. In both
cases it was the republican party
which asked the voters to re-
frain from taking more power to
themselves, and it was defeated.
In Ohio it was two years more
ago and the party lost control
i'm the state senate, and almost
lost the house. The democratic
increase iii representation i'll the
senate was 475 percent-an un-
precedented gain. This year III
Oklahoma, 1907. the republi-
cans opposed the initiative and
referendum and OF the l12 dele
gates to the constitutional con-
vention it elected only II, half
OF whom saved themselves by
pledging for the initiative and
referendum.
In the coming national cam
paign the people will understand
more fully than ever before the
advantayes to be gained by re-
storing a system whereby they
shall possess an option to vote
direct on public questions, and
after the national conventions
shall have selected the nominees
it seems improbable that either
OF them will argue to the voters
that they should not increase

The city authorities will find plenty
of backing especially among the retail
liquor dealers in their fight to force
the payment of license fees from the
wholesale liquor men. If the expert
ence of the other cities is anything to
go by there is not the slightest doubt
but that the city can collect license
fees from these men and they should
be made to pay up. The city surely
needs the money and we do not see
why any exceptions should be made
in favor of any of these dealers. 1t
is not fair to the men in the liquor
business who pay their licenses to
make them compete with men who
pay nothing.

PROPERTY owners with defective
sidewalks suffered severely in the
Halloween raids but this method of
serving notice to build new cement
sidewalks by tearing up the old wood
en- ones is altogether too direct to
meet with popular favor. Most law
abiding citizens prefer the slower way
of having the notices to build new
walks come from the city through the
regular channels, and the boys or
men who ripped up old walks should
be made to pay damages enough to go
long way toward putting in new
ones

THE more the merrier in this war
over liquor licenses and all the better
if the liquor men get to fighting
among themselves. 1t will pay the
city attorney to give close attention to
the charges and countercharges
made by both sides for if the dealers
get to telling tales out of school and
giving away the inside secrets of the
business the attorney may learn
enough to enable him to collect a few
additional retail liquor licenses as
we'll as the ones from the wholesalers.
And the money would come in just as
handy for the city from one side as
the other.
The Telegraph-courier. [volume] (Kenosha, Wis.) 1888-1946, 1907-11-07

MAYOR GORMAN has started out to
force all of the wholesale liquor men
to pay in their license money to the
city treasury and the fight should
have been started long ago. In the
end the action of the Mayor should
result in an increase in the revenues
of the city almost sufficient to pay the
interest on the city debt for there is
little doubt of the final outcome of the
fight if the prosecution is pushed
with vigor and determination. There
is no earthly reason that we can see
why all the dealers should not pay
the same license and the fact that
some of the big breweries have paid
up without a protest is the strongest
evidence that the city has good case.
The owners of the big breweries are
not IN business for their health and
they are not giving up any more
money for licenses than they have to
and if they had thought for a minute
that they could successfully oppose
the demands of the city they never
wouldshaveipaid. That they gave up
without. a struggle shows that their
lawyers believed that they had no
chance to beat the city in the Courts.

BADGER BANKS ARE SOUND
Deposits Nevet So Large as Now De-
cIares Commissioning Bergh

While NJ. c. Bergh, Wisconsin COM
missioner of banking, under whose
department are all the state aud saw
ings banks Of the state, is keeping a
watchful eye on the financial situa-
ton with respect to the possibility of
Wisconsin financial institutions be-
coming embarrassed, he entertains no
fears lest trouble in the money mar
ket will ....r affect this state.
The reports of all the banks under
his supervision show that deposits in
the state banks of Wisconsin in
creased at the rate of about 81, 900, 600
month the last six months. From
May 20 to Aug. ., the dates of the
last two reports received by the COM
missioner from the Wisconsin banks.
deposits increased more than S3.OOO.-
600. The bankers were able to loan
this increase out at interest. which
fact showed in the last report as an
increase of loans and discounts of
s., 949, 391.08. The supply Of gold coin
and national currency fell off about
$40. 600 III the period between the two
last reports, which is only about per
cent of the volume of currency in the
Wisconsin state banks.
In view of the beginning of the
crop moving period and Withdrawals
of mouey IN preparation for this
movement, this slight decrease in the
volume of currency in the banks is
considered as most wholesome ele-
ment of the Wisconsin financial sitn-
alton. In November another report
will be had from these banks, which
normally should show less cash on
hand IN the banks, but the situation
is not viewed by the commissioner as
permissive of any apprehension on
the part Of depositors, for the condi-
ton of the state banks of Wisconsin
is excellent.

FAILS TO GET COMMISSION
Jose Mignau1t Loses Suit for Collection
of Big Commission


of Big Commission
Jose Mignault, the telephone broker,
formerly of Kenosha, who recently
brought suit against the Wisconsin
Telephone Company and the Citizens
Telephone Company of this city, to
collect commission of $1,000 for his
services in forming com bination of
the two companies, will not receive a
cent for his trouble, as the courts of
Milwaukee county have declared that
the broker has no cause for action
against the two companies.
Mignau1t came to Kenosha at the
time the rivalry between the two COM
panies was most keen and he at once
proposed to make deal for the union
of the companies under new name.
He claims that the managers of the
two companies agreed to give him
$3, 1000 for his trouble and work, and
later after the union had been effected
he attempted to collect from the com
panies. The attorney for the Citizens
Company claims that that company
paid Mignault for his work, out the
Wisconsin company refused to make a
settlement.

DEER TO BE SCARCE
Hunters May Have Hard Time Get
ting Their Full Quota of Venison

Reports from the Northern woods
are to the effect that deer will be very
scarce this year and the Kenosha
hunters who have usually had little
trouble getting all that is coming to
them may not bring back the full
quota of venison this season. It is
claimed that the 1umbermen have
been slaughtering the deer out of
season and that hundreds of carcasses
have been found by game wardens ia
the woods. It is claimed that the
lumbermen shoot the deer and leave
them IN the woods to rot caring no.
thing for the meat of the animals.
More than a thousand Kenosha peo-
pie have taken out hunting licenses
and it is expected that at least two
hundred people from this city and
county will be in the Northern woods
during the short time allowed for the
killing of the deer.

ODD FELLOWS ENTERTAIN
Local Lodge Entertains at a banquet
After Session Friday Evening

Thirty-ive of the members of the
two lodges of Odd Fellows in Racine
were the guests of the Kenosha lodge
on Friday evening and a splendid
banquet was given in honor of the
visitors. The Racine members came
down early in the evening and assisted
IN the initiation of a class of four
candidates and after the work was
over the hall was spread for ban
quet. Covers were laid for hundred.
After the banquet was over there
was a decidedly interesting social
hour IN which short talks were made
by the members Of both the Racine
and Kenosha lodges. The visitors
left for home a midnight.
There is warm bond of fellowship
between the lodges in the two cities
and it is expected that several inter-
esting little gatherings will be
planned for the lodges during the
winter season.
