IDAHO AND THE CAREY ACT
How the Law Was Secured and It's

Among the elGer men VINO visited Spo-
kane during the great Irrigation congress
none was received with heartier cheers
than old Judge Carey OF Wyoming, father
Of the so-called Carey act. At a dinner
given on the first evening to those who
were to address the convention. senator
Carey was called upon to speak, and told

the rich grass country Of eastern Kansas
and Nebraska, and then striking into the
short grass, trailed up into Wyoming. 1
had met travellers who had been In Utah
and had seen what wonderful things the
Mormons were doing there by turning the
brooks and rivers over the parohed soil.

northern Wyoming where there was
scarcely a living for our beasts in the best
season, my companions asserted that this

had come to undertake the great work, and
to try by cooperation a kind of irrigation
no farmer could afford for himself.
1T was in 1895 I got the first act through
though as a matter Of fact 1t was no act
at all, but an amendment to the over
burdened sundry civil bill. 1 had tried to
get through the committee a bill providing
that each state might have a tract OF
desert land decided over to 1t for reclama-
ton; but the committees would do nothing
with It. At last in the senate committee
1t got added as an amendment to the sun
dry civil bin and / was told, on the last
day, that II would be dropped unless
strongly endorsed by both the Interior
and Agricultural departments. There was
no time to lose, 1 jumped into a cab and
raced down to the departments. Both sec
retaries were away and the second assis-
tants were acting. l took them, as the
most valuable available material, per-
suaded them to give me an endorsement OF
the bill, raced back to the committee and
had the pleasure OF seeing the amendment
Immediately reported to the senate and
passed. II was accepted by the house.
Later we had 1t again amended, to pro-
vide the financial features It now carries,
and It has grown in favor. I am happy to
say. ever since"
The effect OF this act upon the prosperity
Of Idaho and Of the whole northwest is in
calculable. In 1900 there were in the whole
state but 1920 people. Today there are
probably 400 900 and the number Is increas-
ing rapidly. There are ready for use, or
fast approaching completion, under the
Carey act, l,623,Ol4 acres OF irrigated land,
OF which on January / OF this year a little
more than 10000 o acres remained unsold.
The highest price for any OF this is $65 an
acre, the average $50 an acre in ten annual
payments including interest and giving per-
petual water rights. This land will supper
and within a few years will attract to
the former desert region a population OF
1000, 600 people. which will be increased as
the area Is added to. In addition there are
several hundred thousand acres privately
irrigated at no greater price; as for in
stance out Of 5000 acres belonging TO one
company in Bingham county, 1900 are IN

Unless hats are abandoned the race will
BIO bald in six generations.
II men and women would preserve a ma
ture-giyen adornment they must go about
their various vocations bareheaded.
Otherwise the near future sees the en-
forced adoption of a universal fashion in
head toilets for both male and female
smooth and polished. with an occasional
bump, but generally bearing the complex
ion and contour OF an old billiard ball.
This is the opinion OF DR.. w. A. Guild, a
cousin of former Governor Curtis Guild of
Massachusetts, who Is a visitor In Chicago.
1T is a scientifically established fact that
the American people are on the road to
permanent badness and the goal will be
achieved In such short order as 20 startie

are adopted for it's prevention at once
said DR.. Guild.
Men and women must go bareheaded IL
they would prevent universal alopecla. Men
are to blame for the badness which now
is becoming apparent in women. The dis
ease is hereditary. Fathers are bald and
their sons early display similar tendencies.
Where one or two successive generations
have little hair on their heads II can al
most be taken for granted that the next
generation will be prematurely bald.
Stiff and SILK hats are much to blame
for the conditions in metropolitan centers,
and the reason the ratio is not the same
In country districts is because men are
prone TO wear hats with loose bands OF
to go much Of the time uncovered.
Hats, as men wear them, press close
about the temples and cut of the blood

the blood flow produces atrophy in tn,

AS a result there Is an altered secre,
ton from the sebaceous glands Of tn,

known as dandruff.

OMAHA, June B-Gentlemen on April
g, 1909. the legislature OF Nebraska passed
an act, with the emergency clause at
tached, requiring all corporations. both for
elRn and domestic. doing business In Ne
braska, to pay by July l Of each year an
occupation tax based upon the amount Of
It's capital stock. A schedule OF said taxes
Is hereto attached.
It is proposed to test the validity Of this
law in the belief that It Is unjust in
equitable, unconstitutional, and should not
stand. In order that the contest may be
conducted at the least possible expense to
all concerned and that those most vitality
interested may bear only their fair share
Of the costs, Il has been suggested that
the necessary funds be raised as follows:
Assess each corporation that will assist
In bringing an action to test the validity
Of this law, one-tenth Q-10) Of the amount
OF Its first tax, as fixed by schedule
OF fees attached; said one-tenth Q-1O TO
be paid now to the undersigned, and to
be used In defraying necessary court e&-
penses. II the law is declared invalid, a
further sum equivalent to twenty-five t25)
per cent OF one annual tax shall be paid
by each corporation cooperating in this
contest. This to be the total expense.
Ane TAX LOT the year lBB becomes que
July /, and delinquent September l. We
advise against paying the tax at this time.
Should this suit be successful II will bene-
tit all corporations doing business In Ne
braska. and the cost TO each corporation
contributing will be small compared with
the amount to be paid in taxes in future
years, should the law remain uncontested.
The action viii be brought and man
aged By Judge John J. sullivan, Judge W
W. Blabau0h and John ". Battin, asso-
Ciatss. Will you be kind enough to Indi-
cate Whistler or rot you Will join In this

ton before dsoiding, either OF the above
attorneys win be glad to confer with you
II a sufficient number Of corporations

the validity OF this corporation tax will
be brought at once. Please mail CHECK

WITHOUT THE KNIFE
Wonderful Results From The
United Doctors Treatment in
Case of q Danville.
Women.
ALL DOCTORS SAID OPERATE
Surgeons Have All Considered 1t Inn.
possible TO Remove A Tumor
Except by Cutting. d.

We often hear OF the immense strides
being made by surgery, how people have
been cut into all manner Of pieces and
yet lived to tell the tale.
But Of late years surgery appears to
be on the wane, 1t is not the success 1t
was supposed to be. While patients lived
through new and startling operations,
there were comparatively few who were
cured. Many lived only for a few months
and then died Of a complication, and 9TH
ers lived their mutilated lives in misery.
Now It is the science Of medicine that
Is making giant strides forward and is fast
outstripping the knife In curing disease.
Among the most progressive specialists
in the new school Of medicine are the
United Doctors, who nave their Omaha
institute on the second floor OF the Neville
block, corner 10th and Harvey streets.
The United Doctors claim that there is
merit in all the old schools OF medicine,
but that none of them are perfect. BY using
all the systems, combining Homeopathy.
Allopathy and Eclectacism, these 5. ~eclalists
have formed a new and more perfect sys-
tenn Of curing disease which is making
many cures in supposedly inourable cases
and thereby attracting the attention OF
the public and the entire medical world.
One case in particular is the case of
Mrs. Emma Ciawson OF 800 Chandler St.,
Danvllle, Ill, Mrs. Clawson had a pelvic
tumor, such as 1t has always been main
tanned by medical authorities could not be
removed or relieved except by the knife.
Under the United Doctors new system Of
treatment this tumor disappeared Ia one
month.
Mrs. Clawson wrote the following state
ment Of her case for publication:
Danville, Ill. July n. 1909.
For over one year and a half I suffered
with a complication Of diseases and female
trouble. 1 consulted and was put under
treatment by several of the best physi-
clans here but received only temporary
relief. 1 grew worse until 1 was COM
PEELED to give up my regular employ
ment, that OF d~ressmaking. and was told
that an operation only, would cure me
as a large lump had appeared in my side
which the doctors diRgonzed as a tumor.
I had a horror of operations and 30 suf-
fered on, growing worse constantly until
the LIST of May. this year, when l con-
suited the United Doctors and began their
treatment.
That was but two months and a half
ago. and / feel like a different woman.
At the end Of the first month the lump
had entirely disappeared from my side
and now 1, have gained twelve pounds
In weight and have made constant i'm
provement In every way.
l have been a resident Of Danville for
eleven years and take pleasure in speak
ing OF my case to the public, and wish 10
recommend these specialists to my many
friends.
Any one wishing to make inquiries
personally, can see me at my home at OK
Chandler street, or phone 1719.

OMAHA, Sept. S-Mr. Edgar Howard.
Columbus, Neb.-Dear Howard: ! am in
receipt Of your letter Of yesterday, enclos-
ing clippings from the editorial columns
OF democratic newspapers relating to the
suit recently brought to test the validity
Of the legislation imposing an occupation
tax on corporations. 1 observe that these
editorials are caustic, threatening, and in
some Instances distinctly hostile. I agree
with you that from the standpoint Of DO
litlcal eKpediency the situation Is perhaps
unfortunate, but 1 do not concur in your
suggestion that something ought to be said
in justification Of my position.
The thing Is impossible. There is moth
ing to be said; there Is no explanation to
be made; there is no e~xtenuation to be Of
fered.
The facts are therej they speak for
themselves. Let them stand without
palliRtion; let them exert their legitimate
influence.
I can afford to lose, but 1 cannot afford
to win by false pretense. / would take the
case, without hesitation. II l were not a
candidate, and 1 could not, without loss
Of self-respeot, refuse Il because / am a
candidate. / do not want any misunder-
standing about my attitude toward corpor-
atoms; and 1 do not want to win the cleo
ton by votes given on the assumption that
l have any leaning, inclination or predllec-
ton against corporations, or In favor of
them, that might in the slightest degree
be reflected in my decisions as a Judge.
l find no fault at all with those demo-
cratic editors who criticise me for acting
as counsel in the tax suit. 1t indicates that
they no longer regard the party label as
a paramount Issue, or as conclusive evi.
dence Of the fitness and worth OF the can
didate. This, on our side, Is a nonpartisan
campaign, and 1t is not only the privilege
of democrats, but a duty imposed by the
party platform to support the candidates
they conceive to be the most deserving.
II my corporate affiliations give ground
for distrust, there is satisfaction in the
thought hat no purblind partisanshIr
need now prevent democratic voters from
turning to some one Of the candidates on
the republican tick whose professional
and judicial records are more assuring.
Very truly yours. JOHN J, SULLIVAN.
