STANDARDIZATION OF PACK

PLACERVILLE, Nov. 23.-There is
strong sentiment among the fruit
growers Of this county in favor of
state legislation, if possible. to govern
the packing Of deciduous fruits in Cali
fornia, the object being to enforce GER
tain rules under pure food act which
would result in practical standardiza-
ton of the pack throughout the state.
AS the matter now stands only two
counties in the state Placer and Ell
Dorado) market their fruits under a
system of complete Standardization
which means that the contents of each
package is correctly told by the label
upon the outside and that a purchaser
desiring to order a similar quality of
fruit has only to refer to the label
of getting it duplicated.
Asa w. Daniels, secretary of the Ell
Dorado County Fruit Growers Alli-
ance, is investigating the matter with
a view to having a bill presented to
the next Legislature that will compel
the Japanese, Chinese and irresponsi-
Bile fruit growers to live up to some
recognized rules in the matter Of pack
ing and labelling fruit to be shipped
out of the state.

BETTER TO Re A STEER

BOSTON, Nov. 23.-Dr. Harvey Wiley,
the pure food expert, who lectured be-
fore the Wellesley Women's Club, came
here en- route for Washington. The
doctor, besides announcing on what
terms he would run for president, also
stated that 1t was better to be a steer
than man, and a fat hog than a
woman.
In explanation DR.. Wiley said:
"A man may have smallpox and

should be fumigated each time it is
used. But in the case of the transfer

PRESIDENT WILLARD GIVES
HIS VIEWS ON THE Law

lands upon which the water was used
II declared the California Development
Company to be like the mutual water
companies, organized to furnish water
to a particular class of persons. and
refused to extend the class to persons
who were not included in the class des-
ignated by the corporation in its ere
alton.
The supreme court did not decide
that the California Development could
demand a bounty in addition to its reg
ular rates from companies organized
to deliver water to its stockholders;
neither did it decide that should the
California Development Company un-
dertake to deliver water to individuals
that it could not be compelled to de-
liver water to all others in the same
class upon the same terms. Upon the
contrary, it has in numerous cases held
that all coming within a designated
class must be served as others are in
that class.
The supreme court did not decide in
the Thayer case that neither the Cali
fornia Development Company nor the
mutual companies did not possess the
power or right of eminent domain. It
said such was the law and further
said, 1T is not asserted that either Of
them has ever claimed or attempted
to exercise that power" But as every
lawyer knows, that was dicta and of
no force anywhere, except in a news.
paper article to make good reading.
Whether companies engaged solely in
irrigation have the power of eminent
q omain has been open question. The
supreme court has sustained that right
in several instances, but the legislature
OF 1911 set the matter at rest by pass
ing an act specifically giving them the
right. This act undoubtedly was not
before the supreme court when il for
mulated its decision.
II must be evident to those who take
time to think that the efficiency Of
the mutual companies depends upon
the stability of its organization, the
of its stockholders in the
security of their investment and the
hearty cooperation of those same
stockholders in carrying out the pur
poses Of its organization. If a portion,
no matter how small, seek to discred.t
it, disclaim its powers and endeavor to
supplant it with something else more
Imperial Valley press., 1912-11-23

Just what the supreme court decid-
I'd in reversing the Thayer case seems
10 be a moot question with number
af people. The judgment reversed was
This court uhe superior court of I'm
perial county, directed TO the said de-
tendants Uhe California Development
Company, as represented by the re
ceiver) requiring the said defendants
80 deliver water to the plaintiff upon
payment by plaintiff of the same
eharges as are made and charged by
water supplied by them from and
through their said system"
Naturally and necessarily the above
judgment was based upon the legal
proposition that the California Devel-
spment Company was compelled by vir
tue of either its organization or acts
TO serve all corners upon the same
terms that il was serving the mutual
companies.
The supreme court simply decided
mat the plaintiff, Thayer, was not
entitled to have the writ compelling
the delivery of water to her upon the
same terms as the mutual companies,
and assigned as the reason for so hold :
ing that, first, that by its articles Of
Incorporation the California Develop
ment Company had declared the object
and purpose of its organization to be
supplying and distributing water to
Knd irrigating and cultivating the land
sf itself and of others" second, that ii
had never subsequently by act word
dedicated the use of water appropri-
ated by il to any other use in the
United States than of sale in bulk un-
der contract to mutual companies.
These deductions Of the court were
based upon the facts disclosed by the
evidence introduced in the trial court
The supreme court holding that the
-others" mentioned in its articles Of
Incorporation and notice of appropri-
alton had been designated by the Cali
tornia Development Company itself to
- other companies organized for dis
tribution Of water; that from its in
csption the California Development
Company did not intend to enter into

private individuals or become itself 4

Hon. Charles l.. Hoffman, Chairman,
Republican State Central committee,
Boise, Idaho.
Dear Sir: This will advise you as
chairman of the Republican state cen
trail committee that | have decided to
become candidate for the nomination
for governor on the Republican ticket.
My decision has not been reached
without serious thought on my part,
nor without urgency on the part OF
many friends in various sections OF the
state. know that shall have the en-
thusiastic support Of these friends, and
believe that majority of our party,
made up from all classes and factions
and representatives OF all interests,
will lend their support and cast their
ballots for my nomination. If so, my
candidacy Is timely.
My record, public and private, as a
citizen Of this state for % years is an
open book. stand upon that record.
Since 1894, in every campaign have
been upon the stump advocating what
! believed to be for the best interests
OF our state. and urging the election Of
the republican candidates.
Serving as governor within the de-
cade, my official experiences are COM
paratively recent. My job was hard
one. There were many-to me-new
and difficult problems to solve. 1t was
hard and grinding work; yet enjoyed
it, because l believed was working
out something for the people, and that
they were with me-. OF those years,
and their accomplishments in an ad.
ministrative way, l may not speak al
length here. Suffice it to say that the
administrative policies stand unim-
peached, and as marking much that has
made for the progress and develop
ment OF Idaho and the uplift and pro-
lection OF her citizens. We retired
from office without exhaustng the
appropriation that was voted us.
am firmly Of the opinion that the
crying need in public affairs today is
the adoption and the enforcement of
the principles of economy in public ex-
penditures. You may revise the tax
laws and appoint commissions every
year, but unless you stop, by employ
ing right administrative methods. the
useless waste Of public funds, you will
continue to groan under the burden of
heavy assessments. l believe that
Officials should be well paid; that the
salaries should be such as to attract
efficiency and attention to official
duties should be required, and if re-
quired great savings will result.
Idaho is splendid empire; wonder
full in its resources, latent and devel-
oped, and attracting a regal people
whose numbers grow over night by the
hundreds. They know how, and will
rule well. My candidacy is not born Of
autocracy, and whatever of exploitation
appears in what l have said is of the
servant and not the master. l believe
! know Idaho and her needs and can
serve her people to their advantage.
From this time on shall be an active
and aggressive candidate for the nomi.
nation. Once the nomination is mine.
90 not care who is out up by our
friend, the enemy.
Very respectfully yours,
(Signed) JOHN 7. MORRISON.
