NEWSPAPER LAW,

Judge James Ellison of the Kansas
City court OF appeals handed down
the following decision i'm the case {
0. d. Austin of the Butler (Mo.) Re
cord by Burge, other members CON
cu1ring and published i'm 1877 S. w.
Reports, 618:
THE preparation and publication OF
a newspaper involves much mental
and physical labor as we'll as an out
lay of money. One who accepts the
paper by continuously taking it fro2,
the postOffice receives benefit and
pleasure aaising from such labor and
expenditures as fully ais if he had ap-
propriated amy other product of an
others labor, and by such act he
must be held liable for the subscrip-
tion price

the bill to be a corporation steal why
didn't he have the manhood to vote
no. as did Mr.. Wood? But he didn t
believe any such thing. Mike has a
little sense. He was playing to the
gallery, and with our honorable gov
ernor he's looking for votes this fall.
We are sincerely sorry that Cover
nor Hunt should display weakness
in not signing the Carey BILL The
democratic party declared itself in
it's platform to adopt a Carey act,
and Mike Cuniff wrote that partic-
ular palnk into the platform. And
both the governor and Mike tried ITO
sidestep this pledge, the former by
his failure to sign the bill, and the
latter by his opposition in the sem
ate
At any rate, all's we'll that ends
we'll. Arizona has a Carey Law and
the Parker project is assured. Rep
resentative brennan covered himself
with glory by his efficiency in meet
ing all objections to the bin. It's a
pretty hard matter to convince some
boneheads that white is white, and
that is what Mr.. brennan had to do
to get the Carey bill through.

THE FIRST PROGRE SSiVE.

While We are talking about monu-
memts and memorials, what's the mas
ter with a monument to Eve?
By all accounts, Eve was a great
woman. She was our universal am
ceStOr. None of the genealogists
ever get any further back than Eve.
And Eve was a Sllffragette. She was
an equal partner with the head of
the house" Qet us call him so by
courtesy anyway in the fruit or
chard known as Eden If Adam did
MT feel like trying the qualities OF
the apple,-or lemon, as some believe
it to have been (while Californians
declare it was an orange), Eve i'm
vented the initiative to meet the oc-
casion, and SO became the first pro-
greSSive. What though both Adam
and Eve suffered the recall i'm con-
sequence? Eve still deserves monu
ment at the hands of her descend
ants, for the habit of eating fruit
has survived to this day, and who
would be willing now to forego the
benefits OF the great discovery of
Ewes, that fruit whether apples or
anges, lemons, figs or what NOT
are good for the system and benefi
cial to the complexion. besides add
ing to the family expense account,
unl9SS grown i'm your own back yard?
Perhaps we have not shown Eve
SO much honor as she deserves
because the earlier chroniclers did
not dress UP their facts with as much
wealth. of descriptive laudation as
marks the effusions on the society
page of the Journals of today lit is
not too late to honor Eve. Why NOT
have congress erect a monument to
her fame?

SETTLERS TO OWN THE WORKS

The POSTS attention has been call
ed to an article published recently in
the San Diego Sum- headed, "Arizoma
and the Guggenh eims i'm a Finish
Fight for a Hundred Million Prize. y
The article i'm question no doubt or
iginated from the opponents of the
brennan Carey bill, which passed the
regular session of the legislature and
the arguments used therein are too
Silly to burden our readers with a
reply to the charges. However, We
will briefly plug the principal charge,
viz, wherein it is stated:
The stake is a. natural dam
site, worth for irrigation and
electric power purposes at least
$10O, 900 Uncle Sans SER
wants in congress are about to
hand lit over to the Guggenheims.
Arizona wants it for the people.
Under the provisions of the Carey
act stock in the irrigation company
lis issued to the settlers ON the
land to the value of the amount paid
or water rights. Estimating that lit
will cost $3,700,OOO for the installa-
tion of the irrigation works of the
Parker project on a basis of 100, 900
acres, the settlers will control exact
ly that amount of stock i'm the com
pany, the dam, the electric power
possibilities and in the whole works
after the said water rights have been
paid in
1t is estimated by engineers that
it is possible to generate enough
electrical energy from ten Or twelve
foot diversion dam to pump water
On the mesa lands, and no more.
Anyone cam verify these statements
and they will find them to be correct
Therefore, the charge that pOwelfu
financial interests are endeavoring
to pull off a steal i'm connection with
the Parker lands is too Silly tC
discuss. The settlers who enter upon
these lands will be the ones who
will control the irrigation project
eventually, and if amy benefits are
to come from electrical power de
velOpment they will be the ones who
viii receive the benefit.

THE GOVERNOR WEAKENS.

Drennan's Carey land bill became
nature of the governor, who evident
~ was afraid to sign the measure ON
account of the opposition manifested
by the socialists when the bill was
before the legislature. So far as
this paper has been able to learn
the governor has no objections to the
Carey bill, but he has objections ito
making unnecessary enemies when
an election is staring him i'm the
face.
Why there should be amy possible
objections to a Carey bill even
among the Phoenix socialists passeth
understanding Now, there are lots
of good socialists in Parker, but we
have not heard a remonStrance from
them against the brennan bill. Bu
Phoenix way. While the bill was
being considered in committees be-
fore the house and senate these fell
lows, We learn, appeared and offered
objections of the most infantile var
iety. When backed up in a corner
their objections couldn't hold water,
and, as one promimen legislator said.
they made regular asses, of themsel-
ves.''
The bill was no sooner introduced
i'm the legislature by Representative
brennan than some red-shirted tarriol
let out yell of Look out for the
dig steal by the corporations. This
set many of the members of that body
afire ,and thereafter until its pas
sage they had to be shown
And it was some effort to show
them to their own satisfaction, be-
cause they, like some Of the social
istic opposition, were as thick4head-
cd as a mule, and just wouldn't or
couldn't be taught the first rules
of logic and common sense.
The provisions of the Carey act
of many hundreds of thousands OF
acres of arid lands i'm western states,
and i'm every instance that We have
knowledge of these projects have
beer eminently successful In fact
it ha. been the rule that Carey land
projects are more satisfactory than
reclamation service projects by the
government
The highest estimate for perpetual
water rights i'm the Parker project
-hus far, is about $37 per acre, under
the Carey act. The Yuma project
under the reclamation service, has
exceeded $50 per acre, and the Salt
River valley project OVER $40 pei
acre. With expensive leveeS to con
Struct along the Colorado, building
a dam across the river to raise the
water about fifteen feet installing
an expensive drainage system, etc.
there is equally as much work anG
material involved as went into the
Yuma project. Yet, the highest es
timated cost for all of this is $31
per acre against over $50
In the face of this the opposition
gelled steal. Senator Wood of Yav
apai county went so far as to STATE
that he believed this was a gigantic
steal when he arose to vote against
the Dill in the senate. And Mike
CImiff arose i'm all his dignity and
said that he agreed with hiscollaague
that lit was big steal, but Mike
voted Yes. Now, if Mike believed

OCeWeQ apples.
Sometimes the only apple
available is half ripe and rather
insipid. In such a case it is pos
sible to add to the favor by en-
ploying half cup or more Of
stoned, sliced dates and adding to
each quart of partially stewed APP
pies. Simmer the fruit together
for about 6 minutes and set aside
to cool. The grated rind of a
lemon, or the juice of a lemon
placed with the apples when first
put on, varies the flavor also.
