OLD TIME ECONOMY

proval by Mr.. Newlywed. But has
either he or his wife the moral courage
for any of the old arts by which fami-
w resources used to be conserved?

willing to use lamplighters in order
to save matches? Yet many prosper

the study of irrigation law. He has
become the recognized authority on
irrigation law in Idaho. Not an irri-
CATION district has been organized in
this section of the state without the
assistance of Mr.. Thompson. He was
instrumental in the organization of
the Pioneer Irrigation district, the
first district organized under the laws
of this state. As other districts were
organized his assistance and advice
were eagrely sought. Not an impor-
tant case touching irrigation matters
goes to the courts without the counsel
of Mr.. Thompson in some way or the
other. He has devoted himself earn
estly and seriously to the study of the
law until he has reached a position
where he can be of great benefit to
the people of Idaho as a member of
the new commission. We are glad
that Governor Haines recognized the
ability of our leading irrigation law
yer.
The commission should investigate
every proposed irrigation project One
trouble in this state is that impracti-
cal projects have been undertaken.
When the promoters fell down the in
vestors naturally lost money. Anoth-
er trouble has been that all projects
have not been promoted by men of the
strictest integrity. If the dishonest
and impractical promoters can be
eliminated from the development of
the state there is no reason why irri-
cation securities cannot become one
of the safest and most desirable in
vestments in the country. California
passed through the same experience.
She regained her reputation and today
California irrigation securities stand
high in the regard of the people of
the east. 1t will take but few years
for Idaho to regain her reputation.

MONEY AND PATRONAGE

1t is a notorious fact that President
Wilson is using the patronage at his
disposal to force Democratic repre-
sentatives in Congress to support the
Underwood tariff bill. He who goes
out and spends money for the purpose
of influencing legislation is corrupt
ionist. What is the difference between
using money and using Offices for the
purpose of securing the passage of a
particular law? The same end is
sought and by practically the same
means. The poor legislator needs
money. In order to get that money
he votes against his honest convic-
tons. He is bribed. The rich men,
Der of congress, either in the house
or in the senate, needs influence and
prestige at home. One of the most
potent methods of securing that in
Auence and prestige is by securing
the appointment to Office of his friends
and supporters. In order to secure
favorable consideration of his recon-
mendations for Office the senator or
representative votes against his con-
viction. Wherein is it any better to
sell your vote for patronage than it
is for money? He too is bribed and
by the President of the United States.
1t is time that the people of the coun-
try really understood the methods of
high politics. In Congress as in every
state legislature log-rolling is recog-
nized mode of procedure. A certain
groupe of legislators support one mea-
sure in order to get support for an
other. This practice is reprehensible
and the ordinary member OF the legis-
lature is condemned for practicing
it. The President of the United States
does the same thing and he is lauded
for SO doing.
President Wilson caused sensation
in Congress by charging that power
full lobby was at work in Washington.
Yet at the same time the President is
one of the most powerful lobbyists
in Washington. OF course he lob
bied for the passage of the bill. The
others lobbied against the passage
of the bill The one was a patriot;
the other. sinister influence. That
view of the situation may satisfy
President Wilson but it will not go
far with the American people. The
practice is as reprehensive on the one
side. as it is on the other. 1t makes
no difference what the consideration
may be. Patronage is as valuable to
some men as money is to others. He
who votes for or against proposed
law for a consideration is bribed and
there are no two ways about it.
President Wilson is no better than
Dick Croker when he engages in the
same method of securing results.

Iicity is not good for a certain kind
of public official. There is and ele-
ment that prefers to hide its trans
actions. The present board of county
commissioners of Canyon county
seem to belong to that element. They
may rest assured however that plenty
of publicity will be given to some Of
their transactions. Next week we
will take up another item wherein
Messrs Partridge. Mitchell and Blair

A SPLENDID COMMISSION

Owing to the fact that Idaho irri-
CATION securities have reached low
ebb in the estimation of eastern in
vestors, the twelfth sessions of the
legislature authorized a commission
to inquire into the irrigation securities
and investigate the different projects.
The end in view was to bring such Sc
curities up to proper place in the es-
timation of the investing public. In
compliance with the authorization of
the legislature Governor Haines has
appointed the members of the COM
mission. The board is composed of
the following gentlemen: Hon. J. NJ.
Thompson. irrigation attorney of
Caldwell; Mr.. James E. Clifton, bank
er of Boise; Hon. D. D. Haga, attor-
ney of Boise; Mr.. Fred w. Hastings,
farmer of Wendell; Mr.. Paul Bicknell,
irrigation engineer OF Twin Falls.
Governor Haines stated that in max
ing up the commission he endeavored
to find men representative of the f.
nancial, legal, engineering and practi-
cal side of irrigation. In the opinion
of The Tribune he succeeded most
admirably. While we have no &C
quaintance with Messrs. Hastings and
Bicknell, we understand that the for
mer is a practical and successful irri-
gator and the latter a most competent
engineer. The other three members
are we'll known in this section of the
state. Mr.. Clinton has been identified
with the development of southern Ida
no for many years. He is one of the
most successful bankers in southern
Idaho. His familiarity with financial
affairs will be of inestimable benefit
to the commission. Mr.. Haga has had
more or less experience with irriga.
ton. matters during the many years
in which he has practiced law at Boise
While the four appointees reflect
great credit on Governor Haines, hi
again showed his sound, good judg
ment in the appointment of Hon. J
M. Thompson was the most fortunate
of them all.
Mr.. Thompson located in Idaho Il
