NeWelrs Device for Aiding Settlers
Is Illegal.
Washington, June 2S.-Secretary
Ballinger has put an end to the CO.
operative plan of building govern
ment irrigation projects. Hereafter
all such works will be built entirely
by the reclamation service and be
paid for exclusively out of the rec
lamation fund.
This change grows out of the sec
retary's disapproval of the scheme
devised by Director Newell. under
which settlers on uncompleted pro-
iects we're permitted to work on
canals, bitches, ETC., and receive In
pavment for their labor a certain
kind of scrip, which was later &C
cepted by the reclamation service in
pavment for water rights. In de-
yising this scheme, Newell sought to
give the settlers employment during
the time when their farms yielded
little or nothing and at the same
time lessen the burden imposed upon
them by the payment for water de-
manded during the early years OF
their settlement, when their ex-
penses were heaviest.

or whether he was jealous in produc-
ling evidence before the grand jury,
we do not know. 1t may be. as re-
lported the day after local papers
published 1t otherwise. that the grand
jurors told Judge Reed they were
Through, and he dismissed them on
their own statement. Whether 1t is
the duty Of presiding judge to take
|cogrizance of such charges and direct
an Investigation, or whether II is the
duty OF the county attorney to be
jealous in urging such Investigation,
though 1t may involve fellow Off
GERS, must be left to individual opin-
ion. Both Mr.. Barley and Judge
Reed may be satisfied that there is
nothing in the charges. The county
attorney may have produced evidence
before the grand jury sufficient to
convince that body that the charges
are unfounded. We cannot know
what takes place behind the doors of
the grand jury room.
But we do know that people talk,
and streams that are damned up only
accumulate power and depth, and
that is why we say some innocent
people maybe suffering In reputation
by reason of the sudden termination
of the grand jury investigation.
