TALK OF WATER FAMINE.

After the rains which have prevailed
it seems strange 10 hear complaints of a
scarcity Of water. Perhaps, however,
the rains have seemed TO be more numer-
Gus and abundant than they really were.
We should not be altogether surprised
were some incOnvenient statistician to
produce figures showing that the present
season is about the dryest on record.
Put however that may be. it is authOri-
tatively declared that there Is a short
age Of water storage in the Croton re-
gion, which inspires hopes for rain and
teaches the need OF economy.
This presentation Of the case will not
be surprising TO those who are familiar
with actual conditions in the Croton
Valley. There are those who have vainly
imagined that the available amount Of
water there might he increased by the
building of new dams and reservoirs.
Some OF those who, on rare occasions.
have seen water running TO waste over
the big new dam have hastily argued
that If that waste were checked New
York would have all the water il wanted
for years To come. Real students Of the
situation know how much the actual
water production of that region is, and
they know that II cannot be increased
simply through the increase of mechani-
cal devices for impoundins and dis
tributing il.
There is no occasion just now for SEN
rational utterances about the danger Of
Il shortage. What there is good reason
for-nOw and at all tlmes--is avoidance
Of unnecessary waste, and also the
utmost expedition consistent with the
The new system of supply.

TO RELIEVE CITY CONGESTION
Conference of Citizens Proposed to Plan
Redemption Of Nearby Waste Land.

To the Editor OF The Tribune.
Sir: Publclsts. fnanciers and philan-
thropists could not employ their services,
talents and fortunes TO better advantage
than by devising and putting into opera
ton additional means 10 relieve the con-
gested population OF Manhattan Island
The methods now in use do not afford ade-
uuate relief Representative men OF this
city and OF New Jersey should he called
together 10 discuss the best means to re-
lieve the present situation.
Thousands OF acres OF unmproved land
lie OF the very gateway OF our congested
city. With proper transportation facilities
these could be utilized for building pur-
poses. and either by subway or bridges
reached IN twenty minutes.
Many thousands OF acres OF swamp land
in nearby Jersey should be transformed
into beautiful avenues. lined with tens of
thousands Of homes, at low rentals and
cheap fares.
The federal government should be repre-
scented In the proposed conference. Meas
Ures are now pending IN Congress for the
purpose OF draining the marshes Of Mary
land and other Southern states. Why
should New Jersey and New York be ig-
nored? The development OF nearby waste
land would add millions Of dollars to tho
taxable value OF property in New York
ard New Jersey and provide lots for thou
sands Of low priced homes.

~ bad bill The Wagner bill IS far from
perfect, but it has the merits, as far as
it goes. Of the direct primary laws pre-
vailing IN the West. They were aimed
at party machines. The Wagner bill
would iniuriously affect party machines.
Tie Dix bill. on the contrary, is one for
the pcrpetudtiOn Of party machines and
for giving them advantages which they
do not now possess.
The Dix bill adopts the party com

plan but ,ngeniOusly converts it into an
apparatus for strengthening the power
Of the bosses Instead Of adopting the
Massachusetts ballot for the primary, as
the Hughes plan did, Governor DiX's
plan calls for primary ballot like the
general election ballot in New York, wit II
party columns and party emblems. The
reGular-that IS TO say, the party com
mittee-nominations would get the first
column on the ballot. And 10 make the
success Of tickets nominated by petition
rs difficult as possible 1t is provided by
the Dix bill that no name may appear
in more than one place on the ballot.
Mr.. Dix adopts for his direct primary
the kind of ballot which Tammany is
trying to fasten upon the state for gen
eral elections-a worse ballot, one more
discouraging to independent movements,
than the present one. Is II necessary to
say more?

WOMAN SUFFRAGE IN IDAHO.

To the Editor OF Tho Tribune.
Cir. In view OF the fact that FORMER
Governor Of Idaho IS here telling the "olH-
on OF New York that they need the palio'
q conoparison OF tho laws affecting women
in these two states is Of special interest az
this time.
In New York a married woman controls
her own earnings; in Idaho husband CON
trolls everything the wife earns. In ne"
yorl, a married woman can hold her prop
erty entirely free from the control OF heF
husband. In Idaho q married woman can
get control Of her property only by soihs
into court and showing that her HUSBAND
IS mIsmanaging II. In New York the nus
band and wife are equal guardians OF the
children. In Idaho tho husband Is the Legal
guardian OF the children.
There IS only one ground for procuring
absolute divorce in New York state In
Idaho there are seven different grounds
upon which absolute divorce may be pro-
cured In New York State the hours
a woman may be legally employed are
limited 10 sixty a week. There IS no re-
striction as 20 the number Of hours wom-
an may work In Idaho The women have
been voting IN IUdllO SiilNN Ao'p' oNN N''''
do not seem 70 have done AS we'll for them
selves with the ballot as the men or New
York have done for the women OF this
state.
Mormonism has been spreading rapidly
in Idaho during recent years. The Mormon
Church now holds the balance or political
power in that state. 1t IS not apparent
that the women voters OF Idaho have eX-
erted the slightest influence against this
menace. and yet We are repeatedly told that
social reforms will be brought about
through the medium Of woman suffrage.
In view Of these facts Il would seem as IL
there were little evidence upon which to
base the assertion that the ballot has
helped the women OF Idaho.
