MESA DEPARTMENT
THROWING II BACK
 ON DIRECTORS SHOULDERS
They Must Confer Again With the
 Reclamation Service.

The problem of the disposal of the , Mesa canal remains where it started -unsolved. At the meeting of the stockholders and directors last Mon day the matter was widely discussed, and the meeting was adjourned to re- convene yesterday. At yesterday $ meeting there was still more discus- sion in which Engineer Hill took an active part. and the problem was re- ferred back to the board of directors for conference with the reclamation service
 The directors themselves are loath to take final action, and former Su- pervisor Stewart addressed the chair man of the meeting to that effect yesterday, stating their ground fully and making it plain that the directors wish the stockholders to--turn the ca nal over to the government or not as they may decide.
 Engineer Hill made a long address to the farmers. describing the system of water distribution in use under tiIe north side canals, and setting forth in detail the way in which the water of the Mesa canal would be handled in the event of it's being taken over by the reclamation service.
 He also undertook to answer num- erous questions propounded to him by various individuals in the audience. But on one subject, and that was one of much interest, he was compelled to maintain silence, namely the price which the government would give for the canal That, he said. was a mat ter for adiudication between the di- rectors of the canal company and the officials of the reclamation service. He assured the stockholders. however. that they would he fairly treated in that connection.
 Mir Stewart objected to turning the canal over to the government at the present time because of the lawsuit now pending a decision from Judge Kent In case the canal were to be given over to the government. he said. what would be the chance of appeal if the decision were to be adverse to the Mesa Canal company? How could disorganzed company make such appeal?
 The question was answered by En- gineer Hill. He stated his belief that the decision would be made before the final negotiations for turning over the canal could be effected; but in case it should turn out otherwise, there was no reason, in his opinion, for the disruption of the corporation simply because it had sold one of its pos sessions: the company could appeal just the same. He also said that such appeal could in all probability be made through the medium of the Wa ter Users association, of which the stockholders of the Mesa Canal com pany are members.
 Finally Q motion proposed by pr Chandler was adopted. It proposed to revert the problem back to the board of directors, they to take the mat ter up with the reclamation service and ascertain the amount of money wEicn the government would feel jus tified in paying for the canal. That point settled. final action one way or the other will be taken.

The insurgents are discussing the
desirability of holding an early
meeting and ascertain from Presi-
dent Taft where they stand. The
calling of the meeting is In the
hands of Representative Hayes of
California.
There was no apparent sign of
the insurgent difficulty on the senate
side of the capitol further than the
numerous conferences which insur-
gent Republicans from the house
side were holding with the senator's
from their states regarding the poll
cy which they were to pursue.

Statement From Madison.
Regarding Published Reports of "Pun-
ishment" of Insurgent Members
of the House.

The dispatches from Washington
yesterday report statement from
Congressman Madison of Dodge
City regarding the published reports
that the Insurgent members were to
be punished by the Withholding of
patronage, etc: "We Insurgents,
as we. are called" said Mr.. Madison,
are not against Taft or his policies.
We are unanimously l believe in
favor of every leading reform to
which the president and the Repub-
lican party is committed. For in
stance | am in favor of postal saw
ing banks, conservation of natural
resources, regulations of injunction,
reform of federal court procedure
of government regulation and con-
troll of industrial and carrying cor
porations, the publication of cam
paign funds and other reforms.
Most of the other insurgents are
for these same things.
'It is slanderous to say that we
can be swerved from the course of
supporting these reforms by the
Withholding of any official patron
age by any or be induced to support
this or that proposition by the Of
fering of official sop of any kind.
We are committed to the principles
which l have enumerated because
we believe they are right and not
because the president or anybody
else is for or against them.
:" 1t is not the insurgents of the
house but men like Aldrich and
Cannon whom the president will
have to induce to support his poll
cies. The insurgents are for them
already and have been all the time. !"

added his approval of this declara-
ton as did Representative Hayes,
of California, who said his fight was
solely againit the rules of the house
and his present organization. On
the latter proposition, Mr.. Hayes,
said ne was ready to fight to the
finish. 1t was the independence
of the representatives in congress
which he was contending for, he

speech Mr.. Pinchot said;

speech Mr.. Pinchot said:
"There is no other question be-
fore US that begins to he so import
ant or that will be so difficult to
straddle as the great question be-
tween special interest and equal OPP
portuity; between government by
men for human welfare and govern
ment by money for profit; between
the men who stand for the Roose-
Welt policies and the men who stand
against them. This is the essence
of the conservation problem today.
especial interests have made re-
peated attacks on the United Stated
forest service, and the attacks have
increased in violence just in proper
ton as the service has offered effec-
tive opposition to predatory wealth.
"Since the forest servi.~ called
public attention to the rapid ABSORB.
ton of the water power sites and the
threatening growth of a gigantic
water power monopoly, the attacks
upon il have increased with marked
rapidity. 1 anticipate that they
will continue to do so. Still greater
opposition Is promised in the near
future. There is but one protection,
an awakened public opinion. That
is why | give you the facts"
Coming fairly on the heels of the
article to the same effect in LaFol-
lette's Magazine be ex-Secretary of
the Inferior Garfield, the Pinchot
speech has revived the gossip of
organized criticism of the Taft ad-
minlstratlon among the former init
mate friends IN public life of Presi-
dent Roosevelt. The more sensi-
bic opinion is thot Garfield and Pin
chot know what they are talking
about, that it is the public land, not
petty politics, that interest them.

Pinchot's New York Speech.

Clifford Pinchot's speech before
the University club in New York
has so stirred Washington oficaldom
accoring to the Chicago Tribune's
bureau, that President Taft himself
will answer it in special message
soon after Congress reconvenes.
Mr.. Pinchot will not be asked to re-
sign; on the contrary, the admins
tration will undertake to show that
he has stated the very principles on
which it IS operating and which is
proposed to carry out.
The country has unsuitable faith
in Clifford Pinchot, the young mil
lionaire forestry expert who disinter-
estedness in the public service is not
questioned by his most ardent enc
mics. Mr.. Taft, however, allows
the subordinates large latitude in
the expression of their views and
Mr.. Pinchots has taken full advan-
tage of that privilege. While he has
not yet assailed any official of the
government, he has repeatedly and
so vehemently,insisted in public up
on crisis that he asserts exists in the
protection of public property from
private loot, by great and aggressive
corporations with powerful pull in
Washington politics that no pretence
is possible of existing harmony

matter. In his University club
