FULL TEXT OF JUDGE WELL. eoRNs DECISIONS IN IMPERIAL
 VALLEY IRRIGATION SUITS.
CONTRACTS ARE ILLEGAL
Decisions Confined to Points Involved in Pleadnas and do not Touch Rela- tions of Water Stock Purchasers to Mutual Companies.

The scope and effects of Judge We'll born's decisions in cases involving the relations of water companies in Impe- rial Valley are subjects of much dis cussion, and as the bearing of the de cisions upon the status of water stock is not clearly understood, the decisions are given here in full. 1t will be seen that some of the points popularly re- garded as settled by the decisions were not at issue in the cases and that mere differences are not judg- ments of court.

No. 127S. CONCLUSIONS OF THE COURT ON DEMURRER TO THE BILL.

In the Circuit Court of the United States, Ninth Circuit Southern Dis trict of California, Southern Division.
 The California Development Com pany, ct al. Compliments, vs. Impe- rial Water Company No. ,, Defendant.
 This is a bill to rescind the two con tracts therein set forth, because of non-performance by the defendant. The execution of said contracts and defendants refusal to perform are ad- mitted by the demurrer, but defend ant contends, among other things, that the bill is insufficient because it does not offer to restore what complainant has received under said contracts, and on the further ground, that said con- by a corporation engaged in furnish ing water to the public to exact for such service compensation in addition to it's established rates and, that such an exaction is illegal, because in viola tion of Article IA of the Constitution of California, and the Act of the Legis- lature of March 18th, 1885, Laws of California 1885, page 95, citing, in sup port of the latter contention: San Diego Land & Town Co. vs. National City, "A Fed 79; Lanning vs. Osborne, 76 Fed. 319; Mandell vs. San Diego Land and Town Co.,, S9 Fed. 295; Boise City Irr. & Land Go. vs. Clarke .(C. c. A. 9th Cir.) 131 Fed. 415 Crow vs San Joaquin Irr. Co.,, 130 Cal. 309- 313 Wheeler vs. Northern Colo. Irr. {; Co, r Pac 4S7; Combs vs. Ditch Co.,, (Ariz.) 76 Pac. 593; Salt River Valley Land Co.,, vs. Nelssen (Ariz.) S5 Pac. IT, and Brockman vs. Grand Canal Go. (Ariz.) 76 Pac. 602, and, that to complainant. and rot defendant is to be imputed the blame of said transac- tions.
 Taking up the latter of the grounds first, and conceding that said con- tracts are illegal for the reasons above indicated their illegality does not bar, but, under certain circum- stances, might be an additional ground for rescission. (Sec. 34O6 Sub 2, Civil Code, California; Defend ant, however, claims that, while the parties are not in pari delictu, yet complainants are chiefly, if not wholly, responsible for the unlawful transac- tions in question, and, therefore, can have no standing in a court of equity, citing 1 Pom. Eq. Jr. Secs. 397, 4O4.

THE BANK OF MONTPELIER
A
CHECK

e on a 50 per cent valr alton. Each of
these assessors like Assessor Floyd are
working upon the theory that the State
Board will raise the railroads The indica
tions are that practically every county in
state will have it's valuations increased to
this basis, and that they are working upon
what they believe to be the assurance of
the state board of Equalization.
The state board at its meeting August
10 certainly should see their duty in but
one light. 1t will be up to them to choose
between the rights of the thousands of tax
payers in the counties that have raised. ard
the corporate interests who have always
escaped IA just taxation in this state.
A small raise in the valuations will
come far from satisfying the people. If
the present assessment were doubled it
would not then place the railroads on the
same basis as the tax payer of Bear Lake
county. Railroads cannot be bought or
built for S65, 900 per MILE yet as general
average carefully compiled. reports show
this amount to be their approximate value.
They are now assessed at $l3, 900 per mile.
If the state board will Increase them to
$25, 900 per mile they will still be under
assessed according to the basis on which
our residents pay but "a good will have been
done for that will be nearer right than it
has ever been.
After calling the assessors together
and organizing the movement to increase
the value tons the people have a right to
expect the state board to live up to their
implied agreement. If they do not the
people will have right to believe that
they have deliberately conspired to remove
tax burden from the corporate interests and
shoulder it onto the farmer and business
man. In such case the people of this
county will know that they have been
wronged but the greatest blame will be
with the state board. They will know that
their local off :ials were acting in good
faith, and erred in judgment alone, not il
motive.

DUTY OF THE STATE BOARD.

When the Commissioners discovered
that they could not lower the valuations
placed on Bear Lake county property by
the assessor, the people of Bear Lake
county discovered themselves at the mercy
of the state board of Equalization. The
people of Bear Lake county are not inj ured
yet by this action. If the state board of
Equalization raises the valuation on rail
roads, and compels other counties in the
state to come up to the mark set the people
are benefited
The Examiner believes the move made
by Assessor Floyd was a most unwise one.
We are not in favor of placing our people
at the mercy of any board if it is just as
easy for us to keep them on the safe side.
We are of the opinion that the assessor
should guard the interests of the people he
represents first of all, However this may
be, the people are not yet hurt by this ac-
ton and should not condemn Mr.. Floyd un-
til after the meeting of the state board of
Ecu llization August 10.
Both Assessor Floyd and Auditor
Holmes have had word from several other
co mites in the state that they have assess

The creamery will soon be done and
when it is completed comes the problem Of
operating it successfully. Local investors
hold all of the stock and should remember
that the investment is a good one if the
creamery pays, IL bad one if it doesn't, The
stock holders can make it pay if they turn
their attention to raising and milking of good
COWS. A creamery pays when it can get
enough cream with which to operate. 1t is
just as important that farmers prepare to
furnish cream as it is that the board of di.
rectors giAe the business of the corpora
ton careful management.

Because one or two of the labor leaders
of the Nation have sanctioned Bryan's Anti
injunction plank, there is nothing to ndi-
cate that the mass of the labering people
will be deceived either by its meaningless
terms or the deal between politician aid
labor leader. The time has passed when
the labor leaders can turn the vote of their
followers over to whoever they choose.
The laboring people have learned a few
lessons in recent years that makes them
weary of the man who takes interest in
their organization for the power it gives
him politically.
