The Net Results.

For President-Robert Marion La
Toilette.
Platform-We want the jobs.
Without prejudice or resentment
and simply as impartial recorders OF
the news of the day we give the fore
going as the net results of the great
Insurgent conference" held in Chica-
go on Monday.
Gentlemen from 80 different states
of this American Union were there
or at least they said so, and we are
willing to admit it.
They talked all day about all sorts
of reforms" and tissues" and "prin-
ciples." They asserted over and over
again that they were there mot in the
interest of any man" but to promote
their principles"
And then they adjourned without
making single definition of princi-
pies, without formulating program
or declaring policy. They did moth
ing as a body-as an organization
but boost man for job, and them
selves for the jobs which, if he should
ever be president, that man would
have to give out.

the whole Insurgent movement, as
embodied in its recognized leaders.
was never more strikingly revealed.
What do these persons profess to
stand together for? They do not say.
Are they for the initiative, referendum
and recall, and all the rest of the So
cialistic bag of tricks? They do not
say. Most of them whoop for these
things individually, but are they for
them collectively? The oracles are
dumb.

WHAT DOES HIT DO?

Every now and then we read that
the Hon. A. F. Hit has made guess
on crop conditions somewhere or
other. Guessing seems to be Mr..
Hits sole occupation. He is en-
ployed as special field agent for the
bureau of statistics of the Depart
ment of Agriculture. He undoubted-
ly draws snug salary with expenses
paid 1t is a soft snap and we do
not blame Mr.. Hit for holding down
the job. But what is the use? He
travels over the country sizing up
things. He probably makes couple
or three reports to the government
every year. He has himself inter
viewed regularly; and he draws his
salary. The people pay the bill.
At the present time the people are
complaining of high taxes, the high
cost of living, and the high profits
of middlemen. They undoubtedly
have a just complaint. The expenses
of government are great deal high
err than they should be. One reason
for this is that too many men are
holding down government snaps. 1t
is safe to say that there are $4,000
men holding down positions in the
federal, states and municipal govern
ments that are entirely unnecessary.
If these men draw an average salary
of 100000 per annum, and few of
them draw that little, there is an an
nual waste of $250,00O,0OO in the Uni
ted States. If these men are worth
their salary and were employed in
productive occupations the waste is
doubled In other words it costs the
people of the United States at least
half billion dollars per year in or
der to provide snaps for deserving
patriots. No wonder business men
can point out ways of saving the peo-
pie untold millions in their govern
ment. No wonder the cost of living
is high. An army of unnecessary Of
fee holders four times as large as the
standing army of the United States
is heavy and unjust burden We
complain of the appropriations for the
army and for the navy, and go ahead
without saying Va word about money
spent in maintaining unnecessary Of
fees.
One bad feature is that the cancer
extends throughout the country gen
orally. The federal government is not
alone in the sin. The states, the coun-
ties and the cities are equally guilty.

THE JUSTICE OF THE SUPREME
COURT.

The Mormons are about the
shrewdest people in Idaho in a great
many ways. When it comes to poll
tics they can make most of our poll
ticians law awake nights in order to
keep up with them. AT present they
want justice of the supreme court.
In casting about for an available man
they looked carefully, and have de-
cided upon Judge Bulge of the Fifth
District In presenting Judge Bulge
they are offering their best. He is
man against whom not a word can
be said. He is honest, sincere, capa-
BILE and popular He has served the
people of his district with fairness
and impartiality. To such an extent
has he won his way into the hearts
OF the people that opposition to him
IS no longer thought of Pocatello,
Malad, Montpelier and Paris have
splendid lawyers but none care to try
conclusions at the polls. After serv-
ing as district judge so long, and, af-
ter making such record the Nor
mons propose placing Judge Bulge
on the supreme bench; and take it
from us they are very likely to sue
coed in so doing.
The Tribune does not believe that
a Mormon should be elected to this
position at the present time 1t is too
soon, We are firmly convinced that
the Mormon question is settling itself,
but the authorities of the church can
not hasten that settlement. Still are
the high priests tinctured with that
contempt for American institutions
which was the distinguishing charac-
teristic of Joseph Smith, Brigham
Young and others among the pro-
phets. A great many Mormons trust
implicitly in the priesthood and can
be swayed with little trouble. Nor
monism is religion that contemplates
dominion on eart1 as we'll as saliva
ton in heaven. If it would confne
its activities to provision for the here
after it wouldn't make much difference
what the Mormons say, believe or do.
however, the present generation of
Mormons is not content with an alb
solute monopoly on heaven. 1t de-
sires to exercise dominion on earth
To the accomplishment OF this latter
ambition it is bending its every eff

they come very near doing it. Loss
of population results. In an irrigated
country this is Improbable and conse-
quently undesirable. The opposite
tendency prevails.
Dense population admits of better
roads, better schools and better social
conditions generally. This one thing
in a large measure accounts for the
popularity of the arid west among
those DESTROYS of making their homes
on the farm.
Electric railways will develop the
natural tendency. They will aid in the
development of the country and are
to be encouraged in every manner
possible.

Mr.. Patterson stings Mr.. La Toilette

Mr.. Patterson Stngs Mr.. La Toilette.
Isn't it true that, when Robert
Marion La Toilette was a candidate
for governor, and when he was first
candidate for United States senator,
Isaac Stephenson of Wisconsin was
the largest contributor to his campaign
funds? And won't the cancelled checks
so show? If that is so, is not Robert
Marion La Toilette an migrate today
That's the question which Rudolph
Patterson, somewhat known in the
public life of this state, asked at the
Insurgent mass meeting in Orchestra
hall on Tuesday evening, just as Sen
ator Crawford's oratorical flight for
Mr.. La Toilette as "the peoples choice
for president" was winging its way
through the clouds.
And then the riot began. Then the
ardent Insurgents threw to the winds
the calmness which the consciousness
of superior virtue should give and
yelled Throw him out! Punch his
head" Then some of them endeavored
to punch his head.
Why this instantaneous and intense
indignation? Why did Mr. Patterson
inquiries convert an assembly of Sc
rene Uplifters into bowling mob?
Well, it's always the truth that hurts
and Mr. Patterson's inquiries ex-
pressed notorious truth.
Just SO long as Mr. Stephenson
spent his money for the promotion OF
Mr.. La Follette's political ambitions
Mr.. Stephenson was to Mr.. La Fol
lette moral hero and civic angel
1t was only when Mr. Stephenson
decided to spend some money for the
promotion of his own political ambi-
tons that he became a dangerous
character" and a "corrupting inhu-
ence" in Mr.. La Follette's eyes.
That's the exact truth, and that's the
truth which stung the assembled In
surgents at Orchestra hall last Tues
day evening.-Chicago Inter Ocean.

INTERNAL DEVELOPMENT.

The Boise valley is about to be de-
veloped. Men are becoming interest
ed who have the capital to really do
something toward the exploitation of
the resources of the valley. On one
side of the Boise river are the Kuhns,
on the other side are the Mainlands
Each is looking for opportunity for
development work. There is an ample
field for both. Both will try to ex-
tend their field of operation, and in
consequence something will actually
be done toward internal development
The irrigation projects are being
pushed to completion, and with them
necessarily come other enterprises
looking to the development of the val
ley. One thing that will do more
than any other thing, except water, to
promote the dense population of the
valley is electric railways. The indi-
cations are that this means of trans
portation will be amply provided.
The Kuhn interests have never
been known to half do things. They
have purchased the Boise & Interur-
ban and are now looking for oppor-
tunities for extensions. The Main
lands are in the power business. At
Ok Bow they have developed 10000
horse power at cost of $3,000,000
They must find use for that power.
The power at present used by the
towns and cities in the territory
reached by their lines will not amount
to third of the amount already de-
veloped. Other utilization they will
have to find. We understand that they
have undertaken to furnish power for
pumping water on 10000 acres of land
near Nyssa. Electric railways will be
built. 1t is natural to presume that
the inclination of the Mainlands will
be to build their electric lines toward
their power plant at the Ok Bow on
Snake river. Hence the conclusion
that the line will be built from Cald-
we'll to Payette and Weiser.
The Boise valley can support a
dense population. A family can cas-
lily lay up competency upon ten
acres where conditions are right. To
make conditions right throughout the
valley transportation facilities are all
that is needed. The soil, the water
and the climate is practically the
same in all parts Easy transportation
will equalize conditions throughout
the valley.
To the south and west of Caldwell
is the great Deer Flat, with its numer-
out valleys. At present each land
owner owns from 80 to 100 acres. In
few years these farms will be cut
UP into 10, 20 and at the most &c
acre tracts, The farmer in Idaho
finds that small area we'll cultivated
is more profitable than a large tract
half cultivated In the Mississippi
valley it is different There the ten
dency is toward large holdings. The
prosperous farmer buys the land ad,
joining his. His ambition is to buy
all the adjoining land and sometimes

On March IS, 1909, plaintiffs filed
with the state engineer, John H.
Lewis, an application for permit
to make an appropriation of $40 Sec
ond feet of the waters of Powder
River in Baker and Union counties,
for 12O days, making $4,000 acre feet,
to be diverted in Sec. 26, T. 6, S. R.
40 E. W. N, for the purposes of pow
er and domestic use and to irrigate
10000 acres of land in T. S. R. 40
and AZ E.; T. 8, S. R. Al, AZ and 43 E.;
and T. 8 S. R. AZ and 43 E.; and to
construct a storage reservoir to i'm
pound the waters of Powder River in
Thief Valley with capacity of co.
900 acre feet, at an estimated cost of
S5OO,OO0. On March 81, 1909, at a.
m. they filed supplemental appli-
cation for an additional quantity of
water for irrigation upon certain
lands, some of which were included in
the former application. On the. same
day at 4:30 p. M, o. G. Flnkelnburg,
trustee, filed an application with the
state engineer for permit to con-
struct a storage reservoir in Thief
Valley for the storage of water of
Powder River for irrigation, the dam
therefor to be in Sec. 26, T. 6 S. R.
40 E., at an estimated cost of $780,
OOO Thereupon, on April 12, 1909,
the state engineer, being of the opin-
ion that the proposed use in each
case would be a menace to the safety
and welfare of the public, referred
such applications, by letter, to the
board of CONTROL with this statement:
"The proposed use in each Of the fol-
lowing cases are menace to the

SO, shall become appurtenant to the
land to which 1t is applied. The pri-
mary reservoir permit, provided for
by Sec. IS, contemplates a storage Of
the water in some locality where 1t
can be utilized for irrigation The
secondary permit contemplates that
users of the water shall acquire a
permanent ownership by agreement
with the owner for specified guam
tity of the stored water for the needs
of and use upon his land, and when
reclamation is completed the water
becomes appurtenant to his land.
The water code makes a distinction
between permit for diversion of
water and one to construct a reser-
voir and store surplus. The latter
does not include the right to divert
and use such stored water, which
must be the subject of the secondary
permit. This water code was enacted
in the light of and with reference to
the desert land act of 1901, above
cited, and the act substituted there
for, which creates the desert land
board, as we'll as the act of 1895
above cited. The fact that a permit
must be granted by the state engi-
neer before a right can be initiated,
indicates that 1t is not merely a ques-
ton Of priority in filing the applica-
tion that secures the right. There
are many things to be considered by
the engineer before approving the ap-
plication for permit. If it appears
