Mountains and Pacific West, almost
all Of which have been caught In a
like unfortunate predicament.
THE lands In Idaho now available
for lieu selections are mostly in the
southern half OF the state, and are
arid and semi-arld in character, re-
curing the artificial application OF
water to make them valuable for agrl-
cultural purposes. There irrigation
projects are becoming constantly
more complex, difIicult and expensive
OF accomplish
Because OF these conditions In
dividual and neighborhood efforts
along the line OF canal construction
are impracticable and impossible, and
either the government or large cor
porations commanding immense finan-
cial resources alone can and now do
undertake these enterprises. In very
recent years approximately S,O00,-
900 acres OF these lands In Idaho
have been segregated under the Carey
act for the purpose OF reclamation,
and, as Is we'll known by every menu
Der Of this house. these lands are Of
fered for and soil to settlers at so
cents per acre, as the law provides.
THE lands available for settle
ment under the government projects
are open for filings under the home
stead act. and. so far as the land is
concerned, cost the entryman moth
Ing but the required land Office fees.
As remarked before, under the pro-
visions of our state constitution school
lands can not be sold for q less price
than $40 per acre, and II Is there
fore apparent to all that the school
lands OF my state can not be sue
cessfully sold. even at the minimum
price. In competition with those In
eluded In Carey act or government
projects.
And even II the lieu-iand selec-
lions could be sold at the minimum
price. the school fund would unduly
and nnjustly suffer, because many of
the school sections which have been
included within the national forests
are covered with valuable merchant
able timber. the stumpage value of
which. IN some eases. has been esti-
mated at from $4,000 10 $4,000
per section. II was evidently the In
tention of congress In making the
original grant that these values.

ever been able to get a licnse
there. Mike does not want COM
petition and the preacher does
not want any saloon. Mike al
ways gets his own license renew
ed, however, and then he has the
help of the preacher to knock out
the other fellow.
That is the story George d.
Davis brought to the commission
this morning.
Davis has an empty building
and a fellow wants to open a
booze joint in 1t. Davis said the
Improvement club discussed the
matter last night. The preacher
protested eloquently against an
other saloon and in fact against
any saloon, Davis said.
Davis says the people are get
ting tired of Shea being king of
booze.
He says Shea is getting so ches-
ty he will not sell it by the pail
full now but wants everybody TO
come and get it by the glass.
The commission smiled but
took no action. 1t will probably
grant another license, however,
when it is asked for.

Scheme to Bar Voters from Partici-
pating in the Selection of Supreme
Court Judges Can be Blocked if
Citizens Demand County Primary

The action OF the republican ma
chine last week in permitting
county committees to name the
delegates to the convention which
WIFI select this majority on the
supreme bench, is throwing more
light on the plot.
1t was the bosses, dictated to
by the interests. that demanded
the repeal of the primary law on
judges. Now the bosses in the
party are going to name the del
egates. Then the delegates will
name the court as directed by the
bosses, and the bosses will have
delivered to the interests what
they agreed upon.
The advantage is all with the
interests in the contest, for it
must be fought out in each coun-
ty to give the people victory. The
party machine has control in every
county and 1t practically amounts
ito overthrowing the party machin-
cry in each section for the people
to win.
But it is up to them to do it or
else to have a supreme court foist-
ed upon them that will choke off
the progressive movements that
the people are getting ready to in
augurate.
1t is up to the people right here
I'm Pierce county to settle the mat
ter as far as this county is con-
cerned.
The question to be answered
here is whether the people will
name delegates to the state con-
vention who will be alert and up
to snuff on the present game. or
whether they will let Joe Mitchell
and a few of his political schemers
name men who fit into the party
machine and do as the bosses say.
The republican voters of Pierce
county should demand - county
primary. Then they should put up
men who will go into that state
conveitno and turn the searchlight
on their scheme In a manner that
will mean business.
They must do 1t or he sold out
to the gang that wants to run this
state, not for the people, but for
private interests.
The Tacoma times. [volume] (Tacoma, Wash.) 1903-1949, 1910-06-07

VIII the intelligent citizens of
Pierce county allow Joe Mitchell
and a few others so-called party
bosses name the delegates to the
republican convention at which
the candidates for the supreme
court are to be nominated, or will
the voters perform this important
work for themselves.
The scheme framed up by the
special interests to bar the people
from having anything to do with
the selection of the judges can be
blocked only by the people them
selves.
The politicians and manipulate
ors that have an ak to grind have
laid their lines we'll and II is
going to be difficult game for
the people, but a determined and
aroused citizenship can do 1t.
Many citizens never understood
why the primary law was amended
SO suddenly to eliminate the Sc
lection of supreme judges by the
people. They are beginning to
Sc now that it was because there
would be a clear majority of the
bench to elect this year, and the
schemers wanted to name that ma
jority. There was no other reason.
The people had selected the judges
at the last election and had done
as well as had ever been done be-
fore. But somebody wanted that
law changed just at this time.
The people are beginning to see
1t now.

WASHINGTON, d. c., June Z.
President Taft today will meet
the representatives of Eastern
railroads who have planned rate
increases. That 1t will result in
an agreement similar to that be-
tween the heads of the Western
lines and the president reached
after a conference late yesterday Is
the general belief mere today.
The Eastern railroads, 1t seems,
certain, will fall into line and
agree to hold off any rate in
creases or withdraw any that have
been filed until the new railroad
law becomes effective ana the rate
increases come under the juris-
diction of the interstate commerce
commission.
Taft to WELD Club.
1t is understood that the presi-
dent will use the threat of a SUIT
similar to that filed at Hannibal
against the Eastern railroads
should there be any difficulty m
bringing the railroads to terms.
1T is not believed, however, that
any such club viii be necessary.
The agreement reached be-
tween the railroads and the al
provides that the
rate increases will be held UP un-
til the new railroad regulation bill
goes into effect.
Insurgents Push Bill.
The senate insurgents yesterday
asked the house insurgents to ac-
cept the senate bila as 1t stands
fntsead of sending the two bills
to conference. If this should be
done the conference would be ne
tessary and the senate bill would
become the measure finally sent
to the president. IL the house
agreed to this idea there would
be no chance of making any
whatever and the
presidents immediately-effective
clause could not be inserted.
