This was brought up by a statemen,
of Senator Walsh that he had advised

This has been very pleasant diver
sion," Secretary Lane exclaimed. as the
legal discussion closed. There are only
a few million OF dollars involved" The
hearers laughed.
a man rose and asked if the discussion
had been upon his project.
No, sir" said the Secretary. This
has been a discussion of law"
The amusement which followed was
unanimous.
Mr.. Culver then took the stand to pre-
sent the complaints of those on the Sun
River project. He outlined the condition
of the farmers there as baq, placed the
responsibility on Mr.. Newell, and asked
tnat the service De reOrgdnlZSd.
Persecution Is Charged.
Mr.. Culver continued on the stand last
evening. He testified that methods of
persecution" We're employed by the serv-
ice to collect the money owing from the
farmers. and also that the higher amounts
which they have TO pay TO secure extern
sion of time on payment amounted to
''usury." He said that all the settlers on
the Sun River project were badly OFF.
Mr.. Bien, representing the service. put
series of questions 10 Mr.. Culver to
show that the chief cause of friction be-
tween the service and the farmers has
been the inability of the farmers to pay
their installments He endeavored to
show that remission of payments was
general on the projects, and that cases
of users being two, three. and four pay
ments in arrears were not infrequent.
The last project to be considered was
that of the Lower Yellowstone. The
chief complaint of property holders there
is that the first estimate of cost for the
construction of the works was placed at
$50 an acre, and it has grown until the
farmers expect the final announcement
Of cost to reach between $50 and SO per
acre Mr.. Hicks and Mr. Adams appear
ed for the water users of this project.
Before the completion of Mr.. Hicks
statement, the hearing was adjourned
by the Secretary until today at l O'clock.

to appear az ordered or to produce pa

personal attacks upon members, Mr..
Campbell holds the House has absolutely
no power to punish, appeal to the proper
courts being the only recourse left the
assaulted member.
Law Applies to Courts.
According to Campbell the prohibition
in the Constitution against the question

made in debate in the halls of Congress
applies only to courts. Offering members
. immunity from damage suits as well.
IT have studied the matter carefully"
said Mr.. Campbell Wednesday, Il be-
gan looking up the presidents some
time ago when ! introduced my resolu-
ton for an investigation OF the Standard
Oil Company. The House has no au-
thority for resolving itself into a police
court and trying citizens for interior

THE provision in the Constitution
against interference with members on
tDeiT way 10 Ut from congress appneS
only on trips from or to their constitu-
encies. These projections are borrowed
from the English laws. In England
they once were necessary to prevent
interference by the crown with members
OF Parliament. The Stuart and Tutor
kings were constantly at warfare with
Parliament. Members were confined in
the Tower of London for statements
made in debate. Finally. in the reign Of
William and Mary, Parliament, as a di-
rect challenge TO the crown. passed a
law exempting members from such in
reference from the crown.
District Passes Judgment.
ut is silly to attempt to place a
strictly literal construction upon the
prohibition against questioning members
for their acts in Congress. Every mem
Der is questioned by his constituents for
his acts. He cannot return home after
a session without having certain dis
satisfied constituents calling him severe
ly to account for a course OF which they
did not approve. His opponent on the
stump takes no heed of such prohibit
ton during the campaign.
THE House never has established by
law its power TO punish for contempt in
cases of a nature not specifically met in
the Constitution. Thomas Jefferson
called attention to this, and suggested
that some such law should or might be
passed. True, the House on several oc-
casions has disciplined assailants OF
members. but In no case was the issue
contested and in no case was there con-
stitutional or legal authority for the
course"
