REPUBLICANS MUST PROGREss
OR STEP DOWN AND OUT

During a recent session In the
idaho senate remark was made
That Will bear repeating. The oc-
casion was the consideration OF the
bills for the initiative referendum
and recall The speaker was a
democrat who reminded the repub-
Ican members that those counties
and states in which progressive
republicanism was prevalent prior
to the November election went re-
publican. but where the stand-pat-
GERS were in the ascendant there
the democrats were elected. This
statement referred of course to nor
mallN republican territory. The
democratic speaker also reminded
his opponents of the fact that all
progressive republicans favor the
initiative. referendum and recall
In this case the Journal is willing
to take advice from a democrat.
lhe writer believes that republicans
ihehSi pibSl Us II liifN hpPt ~ tOh-
tInue in power either in the state
or in the nation. II may be too
early for direct legislation to sue
ceed in many states of the Union
at the present time but it is not too
early for progressive republican
states to take an advanced stand
on the subject. The farming ele-
ment Of Idaho constitutes IA large
portion of the voting population.
Farmers are almost unanimous in
their demand for direct legislation.
The labor unions also declare for
1t. So far the subject has received
but little notice III this state. The
direct legislature plank i'll the DEM
ocratic platform last year was not
taken seriously last year by the
people. But once let the issue com
before the voters of the state after
II has been turned down by the
majority of the legisla-
ture and there will be something
doing. If the people don't want 1T
they can vote it dOwn when con-
ctitutional amendment is submitted
to them. But if the electors of
the state do want direct legislation
it is not the province Of the repub-
lean members Of he legislature
10 deny them the opportunity toI
express that desire at the polls.

ANOTHER VIEW OF THE Al
FALFA SITUATION

All editorial i'll the Journal last
week stated that the farmers OF
the Minidoka and South Side Twin
falls projects could not afford to
sell their alfalfa hay for ten dollars
a ton in the stack if they owned
plenty OF cows to consume the hay
on the land. Since the article was
published an article appeared IN
the Capital News about the Cald-
we'll Creamery. II was eVluently
written by a correspondent at Cald-
well. He goes on to state that there
are more than 1000 cows whose
products go into the creamery and
that hundreds of these cows To-
Gated on surrounding farms yield a
profit TO their owners OF $40.
month each. In regard TO the
value of alfalfa hay fed to these
dairy cows he quotes the words of
f. A. Ellington. in charge of the
animal industry in the United States
department of agriculture for Idaho
Prof. Ellington says that these
dairy farmers get $23.i0 per ton for
the hay they feed to their dairy
stock. and that this section OF ldahc
is an ideal climate for the cow.
Coming back DOW to the farmers
of the Minidoka and Twin Fails
country who would be glad of a
market for their alfalfa hay at from
three TO five dollars ton, just
think of the profits they might
leap if that same surplus hay we're
going into the stomachs OF dairy
cows at valuation of S23.lO per
ton. Il would mean an added pro-
fiji of nearly $50 ton. and thai
would throw them into the class OF
the moneyed ariStocracy. II might
be observed in passing that a mod
ern creamery draws its supply OF
cream from long distances by rail-
road. The immediate country sur
rounding the plant does mol SO
much matter. The better part OF
Lincoln and Blaine counties would
be tributary to a creamery loeaied
in Sboshone. With the building OF
the Richfield-Camas Prairie branch
of the O. s. l.. those 100000 acres
Of fertile prairie would all become
tributary to Shoshone. Right at
Of the Idaho Irrigation project
and a little farther off would be
lhe Glover Creek. Minidoba and
Twin Falls North Side projects. A
creamery in the proper hands IS a
money maker on its own account
and added 10 that is the untold
wealth that comes to the farmers
who engage in the dairy business.

RETURNED TO SHOSHO>E

Ethan Allen, wife and son, arriv-
ed from North Yakima, Wash, Mon
day and are iiving in town while
awaiting for the snow to go off so
that Mr.. Alien can examine a piece
OF land north OF town which he
has an option on. MI Allen states
that when hc went 10 North Iaklm
ten wears ago he could have pur-
chased land with the water right
for from si8 to $50 an acre. Now
none of the same land can be touch
ed for less than $500 an acre and
much of it that is in bearing or
cbaro will bring and is actually
selling for as high as $500 an acre.
This family know what the future
Of irrigated land is bound to be
and they have come to Idaho to
secure irrigated land while it Is
comparatively cheap for there is no
doubt with them but that in a few
wears this country will be ap-

HELPING HAND EXTENDED

Probably no state In the union
has ever manifested greater inter-
est in the promotion of It's deNel-
oplnent than Idaho Is doing today.
Settlers coming into this state may
be assured that helping hand VIII
be extended to them. The process
of farming in this irrigated section
of the country is different from
that of the eastern and middle west
states, and in order that newcom-
ers who have taken up land IN
Idaho may be instructed III the
most successful and practical me-
thods of farming, the state has sd-
opted the movable school OF sg-
ricultuie system of instruction.
These schools are held in all the
important towns in the irrigated
districts. and every farmer has an
opportunity to receive the know
ledge necessary for conservative
and profitable farming.
The school held in Gooding last
week was well attended by the
farmers in this vicinity. The course
of instruction consisted Of ali the
important phases Of agriculture ano
us associaiions. The instructors
were men who are thoroughly con-
versant with conditions IN south
ern Idaho and competent to ad-
,isa The farmers on what branches
10 pursue and how 10 conduct their
work TO obtain the best results

There is now an opportunity for
The man Of small means TO get hold
of some irrigated land at very
low price. Between now and the
first of next May, many thousand
acres of land under the Idaho IT.
rlgation canals can be bought for
$3.50 per acre including perpetual
waller rights. While 10 acres IS the
smallest subdivision on the market,
many Of these 10 acre tracts con-
tain portions Of rocky Land which
is moi included in the scale Of water

high land adjoining and belonging
TO The 20 will cost only 90 cents an
acre and it makes fine pasture land.
The time will soon come when this
land will be worth mint OF

SETTLERS NEED
HAVE NO FEAR
IRRIGATION COlIPANY,s ATTUR-
NEY EXPLAINS SITUATION
TO JOURNAL.

When it became known that the
Idaho Irrigation company was ad-
vertising the intention to make
proof of Completion of Works
this week. some little uneasmess
was felt among the settlers who
thought perhaps it was a preIim-
mary move to turn the system over
to them, and they felt that the time
for such move had not yet arriy-
ed as there are still some few lat
erals to be constructed and new
work to be tried out" before the
system is ready for the settlers. The
settlers filed a protest against such
move before the State Land
Board the first of this week.
Wednesday morning of this week
Mr. Benj W. Oppenheim, a lawyer
from Boise, who is in the law Of
flee of n. NJ. Ruick. the Leading
legal adviser of the Idaho Irrigation
Co.. was in our city on his way to
Richfield to assist in making the
proof of completion, and to MEM
Der of the Journal force Mr.. Op-
penheim explained the situation.
Acting tn samee as an individual,
the Idaho Irrigation Go. obtained
a permit from the State Engineer
five years ago to divert 5000 second
feet of the flood waters of Big
Wood river and apply the same to
beneficial use. This was the first
step necessary for the construction
of the present magnificent system
and this permit had to be obtained
before the company was in posi-
tion to enter into contract with
the State Land Board to irrigate
the lands contained Within theA
project
Under the law when a permit is
issued by the state engineer for
beneficial use, whether by cor
poration or individual, proof must
be made within five years showing
that the system whereby such
water is diverted and applied
is completed. After proof of the
completion is submitted and ap-
proved four years more are allowed
III which to actually apply such
water to beneficial use, after which
the right to such water is vested
IN the person or company owning
the works.
The Idaho irrigation company
this week made proof Of the com
pletion OF works for applying the
3 1000 second feet of water from the
Big Wood river to beneficial use,
as specified in the permit obtained
from the state engineer five years
ago. This proof has nothing what
ever to do with the contract be-
tween the company and the State
Land Board as it was made before
the state engineer and does not
come before the Land Board at
all Ii was necessary that this
proof be made by the company
in order 10 protect the settlers IN
their priority TO this water.
The company is now at liberty
TO go ahead and perfect the pro-
iect and turn the same over to the
settlers wher the proper time ar
rives.

Hagerman. Fed. II. Today marks
the date of the beginning of the
era Of Development OF Hagerman

ago the contract was let for the en-
tire grading of the road to Foster
Crane of ShOshone. This contract
covers all dirt and rock work to-
gether with the construction and
putting in place of all culverts and
bridges.
Mr.. Cranes outfit is on the
ground and has commenced work
VILE four camps and force of l50
ran> and 800 men.
The road will connect with the
Rupert and Bliss cut off of the
Oregon Short Line seven miles east
Of Hagerman at the new town of
Lincoln. The road is to be stand
ard gauge. equipped with the
most modern cars, taking its eIec-
tria power from the great plant at
the Lower Salmon falls or the llel-
luridr Power company at the mout
OF the Malad. both below Hager-
man.
The grading is to be completed
IN four months, and as soon as fin
ished all ties, rails and culverts
will he on the ground to put in
place. The Oregon Short Line will
cooperate with the company and
have the rails laid on the COM

that in this irrigation country the
entire area of 25,0O0 acres Is all
irrigated by springs. There is no
main ditch line of more than three |

There were only a scattering few

without any evidences of exhaustion.
Bennoit is only boy. 1t was report

doesn't look much If any older. He
was remarkably coll and collected

MOTION PICTURE SHOWS LOSE
Supreme Court Affirms Copyright
Claims Against Dramatization.

Washington, Nov. 14.-Moving-pic-
ture show promoters received blow
yesterday when the supreme court Of
the United States decided that NOV
ing pictures, based on the scenes Of
copyrighted book. may constitute
an infringement of the copyright on
the book or the reserved rights to
dramatize. The courts decision was
announced In a contest over the copy
right OF Gen Lew Wallaoe's book,
ben Hur." The copyright was
owned by Harper & Bros. book pub
fishers. The company granted to
Klaw & Erlanger Of New York the
sole right of producing a dramatiza
ton of the story.
II appears that the Kalem company
employed a writer to read the story
and write a description OF certain
portions OF It and that from this, q
moving picture film was produced
The federal courts in New York held
that the Kalem company was "A con
tributory infringer not of the copy
righted book or drama but of the au
thor's exclusive right to dramatic
his writings and publicly to perform
that dramatization. The Kalem com
pany was enioined from continuing
to produce or sell the films. The
supreme court affirmed this action In
an opinion by Justice Holmes.
