land commissioners fixed the charge
for water, as the records show that
the charge for water by the Twin
Falls North Side Land and Water
company for their tract of one hun
dred and fifty thousand acres was
fixed On August 21st, 1907, and
for the Idaho Irrigation Company
Ltd. on August 21st, 1907, and jun
znd, 1909
1t is well known fact that the
settler pays the expenses of the Ca
reg Act projects and government
projects too for that matter, but we
are now dealing with the Carey Act
project.
The price of recording these con-
tracts is 20 cents per folio 600
words) amounting to approximately
four dollars, and if a settler should
want contract for each forty of
would amount to four times that
sum.
Representative of tie companies
appeared before the board of com
missioners at the times mentioned
and represented that all expenses ne
including such expenses as REGARDING
contracts, were charged against the
acreage of the project and these
items of expense were fully placed
before the state board when the
companies made their demand of
this board for a stated price per
acre for water. These companies
represented to the board of COM
missioners of Lincoln county that
any reduction given would reduce
correspondingly the price of water
to the Carey Act settler. They also
represented to the board of commits
sioners that if a reduction were
made in the price of recording these
if they chose, have a separate con-
tract for each forty acre tract,
which is a convenience should an en-,
tryman dispose of a part of his
claim.
AS the order states, each com
pany furnishes to the county the
record books with the water con-
tract printed therein, together with
and all the recorder does
is to fill in the written portion of
the contract and attach the sigma
lures. This work amounts in reg
ular fees to about forty cents for
each contract for the Twin Falls
North Side Land and Water Com
pany, and about thirty cents for
each contract for the Idaho Irriga-
ton Company, Ltd, and that one
person records between thirty and |
forty contracts per day, so that at |
the price agreed on by the commits
sioners the county is still making
good money on these contracts.
We find that Cassia county as it
existed before Twin Falls county
vas created did exactly the same
hing as Lincoln county has done,
except that instead of charging Is
,ents for recording the contracts,
ne recorder OF Cassia county, by
,rder of the board of commissioners,
,nly carged forty cents for record

Falls Land and Water company and
is settlers.

dollar for recording the contracts of
win Falls Salmon River project
and also Canyon county has estab-
lished flat fee of twenty cents for
recording the government contract
The Boise-Payette Water Users as
ISOLATION in that county, acting for
the government, appeared in behalf
of the settlers on this project and
requested a flat fee of twenty cents
for recording their contract, which
was granted by the board of com
missioners and complied with in
every respect by Mr. o. V. Bailey,
Democratic Clerk of Canyon county
and who is now the Democratic nom
inee for secretary of state; it thus
clerk of Canyon county has permit
ted the same act and complied with
the same order for which Mr.. An
derscn is being criticised. Thus what
has been done in Lincoln county in
this respect has been gladly done in
three other counties of the state,
and no question has been raised or
criticism made of this procedure
The people have viewed it as a wise
and beneficial act, as such it was,
and perfectly within the law.
Upon investigation it thus plainly
appears that this act on the part OF
the board of commissioners was for
the benefit of the farmers under
the Carey Act projects and to save
each of them the unnecessary ex-
penditure of money; that whatever
saving was effected by this order,
was saving to the Carey Act farm
ers. If any one were benefited by
this order, it was these people---the
Carey Act farmers who came to Lin
coin county and reclaimed the des-
ert and created valuable homes and
taxable property where nothing had
existed for centuries before
The irrigation companies were not
the ones who were benefited by this
order
1t thus further appears that Mr. |
Anderson acted in purely clerical
capacity, and it was neither his priv
ilege or his duty to question in any
manner the propriety or impropri-
ETY. of this order, if there be those
who think the order should not have
been made.
We can find nothing that savors
of trickery or graft in any of these
The county recorder
received his fee of rs cents for each
contract recorded and turned it into
the county treasury.
We find, too, that the state ex-
aminer, whose duty it is to examine
Mr. Anderson's office at stated in
tervals, has fully gone into this
matter and is of the opinion that it
is regular. We cannot see where
any one was at fault in these mat
ters, consequently no blame attaches
We recommend that our findings
be made as public as possible so
that the people may understand the
facts, and Mr.. Anderson, together
with the board of county commits
;ioners. may not be censured for tina
'or which they should be thanked.

TRAMP CHERISHED BABY
SHOE ABOVE EVERYTHING

Los Angeles.-Through all the vi
cissitudes of tramp life, while Sleep
ing in barn, haystack or field, while
camping beside railroads or lying in
village jails, Nathan Franklin carried
with him a tiny baby shoe, a soiled
and crumpled reminder of happier
days long ago. The little shoe is now
the principal evidence whereby Thom-
az ]. Franklin Of this city came into
possession of little hoard of money
left by his father, the aged wanderer.
Just a year ago, Nathan Franklin,
old and infirm, was received at the
Pisgah home here. Soon afterward
he died without revealing his name or
his history. In his tattered coat was
found 1910 sewed in the lining. Over
his heart rested the little shoe.
Later a slip of paper with the name
of the son and his address on 1t was
found in the shoe. Young Franklin,

GERMAN WOMEN HAVE
BETTER WORK HOURS

Berlin.-What properly may be
called the Woman's charter has come
into operation in Germany within the
new year Four years ago a congress
meeting at Berne passed a resolution
to the effect that night labor by wo-
men should be prohibited in work
shops employing more than ten hands
and acting on this the Reichstag
passed a bill which will have an i'm
portant bearing on female labor in the
Kaiser's dominion.
From now onward the maximum
working day for women will be ten
instead Of eleven hours, and on Sat
urdays and days Immediately preced-
ing public holidays eight hours in
tead of ten. The Berne congress al
so urged the necessity of an uninter-
rupted nights rest of eleven hours,
and the German law now provides
that women shall not be employed
between the hours of eight at night
and six in the morning. On Satur-
days and on days just before public
holidays they are to cease work hall
an hour earlier that is to say, five
o'clock instead of $50.

first performance at the Auditorium

finally to the city of Illusia on the
top of the world Along this triT
many a character is introduced por'
traying the customs of the strange
people in this strange land.
There is Jack Frost, who resembles
Satan. but whose songs are among the
best in the play. This part Is taker

Smith, the petite, as Kokomo, the Els
kimo belle is one of the prettiest o.
the girls. Then there is Kankakee

A wealthy resident Of Seattle. Wash.
has obtained q city license to do business
as a pawnbroker. He is not designing
to make more money than he already
possesses. He is simply going to use his
wealth for a philanthropic purpose. He
intends to do business in the loaning of
money to poor people In small sums at
a low rate Of interest. hoping to save
them from falling into the clutches OF
extortionists. This Is a truly benevolent
enterprise. calculated to prevent great
suffering and many sacrifices. The Dis
trict Of Columbia is today practically
helpless in the face Of q system OF small
loan enterprises under which the needy
are suffering severely. 1t has sought
from Congress an enactment which will
enable the Commissioners and the courts
to regulate this business and give those
who are in need Of financial assistance
opportunities to borrow without involving
themselves in endless obligations and
paying usurious rates for their accom-
modations. While Congress is deliberat-
ing on this vitality important matter the
field is open for some local philanthropist
to follow the example OF the man In
Seattle.

They could not have been. They must have

deal to be done. For the first time In
years the democrats entered the field with
genuine hope. They could not have found

For the first time in years the repub-
leans entered the field with alarm They
realized their danger They not only saw
their opponents fun of fight, but felt that
mysterious something in the air which
makes a politician very uncomfortable
while battle is on. They must. there
fore, have drawn upon their sources of
supply as freely as possible, and. as Oft
time winners. must have secured funds In
liberal measure.
We have never had. and probably shall
never secure. exact figures in this mat
ter. For years exaggerations have done
duty. The cost of some victories has been
put in the millions. Money was represent
ed as so abundant that every machine
politician in the country had his pockets
stuffed with, it The Tilden campaign In
1876 was described as the most expensive
up to date, while Mr.. Hanna, twenty
years later, was pictured as an open
buyer of votes in the market, ana SO
we'll supplied with coin that the price was
a matter of indifference to him.
All we know for certain is that in
country so large as this campaign meth
