The Richfield recorder. (Richfield, Idaho) 1909-1931, 1914-06-11

the hlnS Hill Extension TO be tackled
onto the project, and how the Brad,
Land Board allowed the King Hill
Company to sell 100 second feet Of
water to the King Hill Extension
and thus reduced the available supply
of water for the original King Hill
from 124 second feet to "a second feet
and render the water right for both
the original King Hill and the King
Hill Extension practically worthless.
MANY of these settlers havenot for
gotten the weary trips they made to
Boise at an expense they could i'll af-
ford to bear of the dreary and hope
less days spent in waiting in the outer
office of Mr. Brady who not only re-
fused to give them redress. but in
many instances refused to give rnem
an audience.
THE attempt at this time on the
part of Mir. Brady to establish him.
self as the friend Of the Carey Act
settler, is grotesque when viewed
Through the eyes of those who for
the past five years have been fighting
the desert on the Twin Falls North
Side tract, and there are many still
on the segregation who remember that
when they were hauling water for
which they We're charged ten cents a
barrel from the villages Of Wendell
and Jerome, their committee attempt
ed to secure an audience with Cover
nor Brady; and that after it had jour
neyed to Boise to lay their complaints
before the Governor and the Land
Board, they were refused an audience |
with Mr. Brady because of the press
of his social duties. and the necessity /
of him attending an afternoon tea
party; and that they We're not even
permitted to be present at meeting
of the Land Board next day when
these matters were considered.
How well the people of the Carey
Act segregations remember the treat
ment melted out to them by Mr. Brady
as Governor is attested to by the fact
that when he asked for re- election at
their hands the vote he received from
Carey Act projects was practically
negligible,
There is no use for the Capital
News or any other paper endeavoring
to evade the stern fact that it was I'M
der Mr. Bradys administration tina.
The Salmon River, the Big and Little
Lost River and the King Hill and
King Hill Extension projects We're
approved, thrown upon the market
md opened to settlement with the
solemn guarantee on behalf of the
State of Idaho, speaking and acting
through its Governor James II. Brady,
hat the projects were complete and
hat the water supply was adequate.
HE was Governor during that criti- {
al period when it required a man of
terling worth and strict integrity to
protect the citizens and settlers of
uty, Stunned his work and busfeo
himself with social functions to the \
arm of the interests of the citizens
nd settlers He made himself OBJ
oxious to the people of the State of {
daho and received a much merite1 c
ebuke at their hands, and the people s
the State of Idaho have not for I
often the treatment by them received, 4
nd have not forgotten that Mr.. Brady i
onsidered a quiet little dinner with q
ome fly by night promoter as of more h
Importance than the welfare of the n
eople of an entire Carey Act segrega- a

And as surely as the people regis ii
red their disapproval of his actions b
1870 so will they rebuke him again il
eptember of this year. and directly
form him that he is not acceptable il
the people Of Idaho either as a G.
overnor or as a Senator. And should f,
r. Brady be equally as popular in the II
her parts of the state as he is upon e
lie Carey Act segregations, he will A
-obably run a poor second to the So D

? when he can claim the highest n
