Decision Of Supreme Court
Against Selling More Water
That Ditch Capacity
YAKIMA SUPERIOR COURT
FINDING is REVERSED
IN Lombard Horsley vs.. Union
Gap Irrigation Co. Judges Up
hold Refusal to Deliver Water
At Expense Of First Purchaser

Establishing what is considered one
of the most important principles ever
involved in the domain of irrigation
litigation, the state supreme court has
reversed the superior court of Yakima
county in the case of the Lombard
Horsley Investment company vs..
Schlotfeldt, Weed, Cunningham, ct al.
sold the stock of the Union Gap Irriga-
pany, and rules that after water las
been sold to the capacity of ditch
the purchaser of extra water may not
sue for its delivery.
The suit was brought last summer
by LON bard g. Horsley, after they had
Sold the stock Of the Unto Gap lrriga-
hon company to the parties named in
the suit. Included in the transfer
was the right to 81 cubic feet Of
water, taken from the Yakima river
vt specified point. Lombard &
under their ditch rights to 26.77
lubfc feet of the 81 feet
According to the terms of the con-
ract by which the deal was made the
remaining 5.23 cubic feet was to se-
rert to the Lombard G. Horsley COM
oany and to be delivered to them.
Sold to Capacity Of Ditch
1t was found by the new company,
however, that when the dry season
came on they had only enough water
In the ditch to supply the users Of
water holding right to the 26.77 cubic
feet, and they refused to pro rate
among the owners of the water rights
to give water to Lombard & Horsley.
Thereupon Lombard & Horsley
brought suit in the superior court, and
after trial lasting several days Judge
Preble took the matter under adj
visen1ent. His decision was, in eff
feet. that under the terms of the con-
tract the irrigation company could
be compelled to deliver the water, and
If necessary to pro rate other con-
sumers to furnish a supply for the
last purchasers.
Appealed to Supreme Court
The case was being tried for Lom-
bard & Horsley by Englehart q Rigg,
and by Boyle, Merritt & Boyle OF
Seattle, for the Union Gap Irrigation
company by Parker & Richards.
immediately after the decision of
the court in Yakima Parker &
Richards prepared for appeal to the
supreme court and the case was ar
gued before the court at Olympia in
November, N. c. Richards appearing
for the defendants.
The decision of the court issued
Friday reverses the finding of the
superior court, and holds that when
the capacity of the irrigation ditch
has been sold to water users, no pur-
chaser of further water can sue to
compel delivery at the expense of the
prior purchasers.

COOPERATION IN PORT DEVELOPMENT.

HOOPERATION for port development is the aim of an or
SANITATION to be effected in New York this week by repre-
~ sentatiyes of cities on the Atlantic coast The develop
nlent of water terminals should go hand in hand with the great
project of a coastal waterway, and the work of harbor improve.
ment should anticipate that great enterprise. The opening of
the Panama canal to commerce, which is to have such a mighty
effect upon waterIborne commerce and port development, should
also hasten enterprise in establishing proper terminals. If any
Sigor had been displayed in meadow and dock improvement on
the Newark bay front our city would now be in an advanced
position and prepared to seize great advantages in the com.
iuerce of New York bay that may now have escaped us. We
would be in a condition TO anticipate the opening of the Panama
canal. With the work of harbor development placed in more
capable hands next year we may hope TO see a real beginning
made by men who understand the problem and have the brains
and energy to carry them out.

BY ROBERT F. L s
WASHINGTON. Dec. 9.

wv HEN a new representative
w comes to Washington he finds
other perquisites to his job
besides the $500 salary. He gets
free a spacious. office in n OF the
most beautiful Office buildings in the
United States. This Office Is fur
nished luxuriously for him with
mahogany desks and tables, the
latest metal or precious wood-filing
cases, rugs and the like, as well as
with the latest model Of any type
writer his s~tenographer may fancy.
He needs use only the costliest grades
Of bond paper for his letterheads and
envelopes, for he Is given a station
cry allowance of 1925 per month. and
paper, printing, pens, ink, inkwells
and all office supplies are sold to
him at cost at the house stationery
store. Ice. water. light, towel and
char service are free.
Another SIPS a Month for Clerks.
He is also given SIPS a month for
clerk hire. Some few representatives
save this entire allowance by en-
ploying no clerical help. II he fails
to spend all of his stationery allow
ance, too, he retains what he saves.
On the other hand many representa-
tives fail to make the s125 monthly
pay their office help. Under the Law
each member is required to turn in
to the clerk Of the house the names
of clerical help paid from the $125.
In the last session Representative
Rainey, of Illinois, turned in the
names of twenty-five clerks, all pre-
sumably being paid from the 1926 a
month.
Another perquisite Is the mileage
allowance OF 20 cents per mile each
way for one trip each session from a
congressman's home to Washington.
Thus. a representative from Califor-
mia receives $1.9 200 more than one
from a Maryland or Virginia dis
trict adjoining the national capital.

library are at the disposal OF house

tive Is fixing up living quarters IN

THE COST OF THE SCHOOLS.

FTHE increase in public school enrolment in New Jersey
last year over the previous year was 1921 and OF teach
ers 766. The average cost per pupil was $Sl6S, an IN
crease of $3.50. The average pay of the school teachers, men
and women, was $760s3, an increase of 1851. There was an
increase Of 81 in the number of school buildings, necessitating
an increased number of janitOrs and other expenses. The value
of public school property was increased by $8,7S5,95442 and the
average value of school buildings is now $24,4s1, an increase
Of &3.74 in one year. The total cost of the schools last year
Was $21S4O.9237 70, of which $7~y860,43649 was paid by district
taxes, So 49S49S55 by sale of district bonds and $5,526,22009
by State tax; $16,ss515219 of the school expenses was paid
by the school districts But the railroad taxes for the schools,
which last year amounted to $2,543,984.S9, increase every year
On the basis of last years increase in the enrolment and average
cost per pupil the increased net expenditure next year should
be $4,000, to be met by increased ratables and railroad taxes.
The cost of the schools about keeps pace with the increase of
taxable wealth, but every year the school districts contract new

DUR WEAKEST POINT OF NATIONAL DEFENSE.

II 7 is time for this country to get busy on its equipment for
aerial warfare. In this vital point of national defense we
- are lamentably behind every other great nation. Plans per-
fected by the war department provide for an aviation squadron
for each division of the field army, several for coast defense, two
for the Philippines and one each for the canal zone and Hawaii.
For the training of regular army and national guard officers in
military aviation it is proposed to establish five schools in vari
Gus sections. All this depends upon the action of Congress,
which has been so strangely slow to comprehend and so deplor-
ably small in its policy and appropriations.
