BILKING A BENEFACT0R
Court Decision Denounced As Denial
 of Square Deal to Railroad.

Announcement was made few days ago that the United States court of appeals has handed down a decision declaring that the Southern Pacific Company was not, entitled to compen. sation for the fortune expended in saving the great Imperial Valley from the floods of the Colorado, and busting the Southern Pacific from it's control of the California Development Com. pany, which the railroad corporation had acquired by advancing vast sums of money to perfect the irrigation system at time when immense losses would have been involved had not some strong and energetic work been done to keep the water in the canals
 under which were thousands of acres of growing crops.
 When Epes Randolph and theSouth- ern Pacific Company began the titanic task of turning the Colorado river back into it's natural channel and to stop the flow of flood waters into the Salton basin, the Imperial Valley had been practically abandoned to it's fate. The California Development Company was impotent to do anything towards sav- ing the situation, and the great United States government was so tangled up in red tape, as, indeed, it is in every crisis, that it would have been impos- sible for the reclamation service to move in time to do any effective work Moreover, effective work would have been impossible except by coopera- tion of the Southern Pacific Com pany, which at a period of congested traffic, when every available pound of steam was actually required in nov ing passenger and freight trains, made all other, interests secondary to the one great one of stopping the hole in the levee of the Colorado river. Every flat car that could possibly be spared was brought into service, and the materials of every accessible quar- ny used in this work Moreover, TO agency except that of great railroad corporation, could have organized such construction crews as were required for this work. No one else, not oven the United States government, would have known how to go about the task o Af hox win Abr courage of his convictions and being able to command all of the resources of such a railway system as that uf tlle Southern Pacific Company And yet, we are told now, that the Soutr- ern Pacific Company was without auth ocity in exercising control over the California Development Company, and that all sums expended in the great V ork which it has had in hand in the valley are forfeited, because, forsooth. the Southern Pacific Company had pri, vate interests to be served at tho same time that it was saving for the thous ands of settlers their homes and every thmg that they had in the world
 In the Imperial Valley the Southern Pacific Company has been not only an important factor. but the essential factor and did work which no one else would do, or could do. and it is shame and disgrace upon our people that any court of justice would lend itself to the bilking of benefactor m the way which the federal district court of appeals is reported to have
