JUDGE BULGE MAKES
IMORTANT RULING

In the. district court at Pocatello
last Saturday morning Judge Bulge
made it plain that the section of the
local option law, in connection with
the transportation section, was never
intended to interfere with the indi-
vidual right as long as that indivi-
dual could clearly establish that he
is acting within the law.
The decision was rendered in the
trial of David Day of Downey, on
the charge of illegally transporting
liquor into dry territory. The attor-
ney for the defendant demonstrated
that the state had failed to establish
that the liquor was to have been
used for illegal purposes, and chal-
lenged the prosecution on that basis.
On the instructions of Judge Bulge
the jury returned verdict of ac-
quittal without leaving their seats.
Fundamentally the points involved
in the action are that when there is
no evidence that there has been any
other violation of law, or when the
person so charged has not sold, de-
livered or otherwise disposed of in
toxicating liquors in violation of law
the mere finding of intoxicating
liquor in the residence of the person,
to which residence he has transport
ed it, is not a violation of the trans
portation section of the statutes of
Idaho.
Evidence in this case showed that
Day had gone to Ogden, purchased
liquor, took it to Downey and car
ried it from the station to his resi-
dence, half mile away, the court
holding in this instance that a per-
son has the right, for his own use,
to carry liquor from place where it
was legally purchased to and into
his own residence, provided there is
no evidence to show that the liqour
is to be used for no other purpose
than for personal use of the indivi-
dual transporting it.
The finding of liquor in private
residence is not prima facie evidence
that it was there for unlawful pur-
poses, and it is incumbent on the
state to show that such liquor was
transported for any such unlawful
purpose.
1t is the first time that a test
case has been made of the trans
portation item and the broad ruling
of Judge Bulge adheres strictly to

TIME TO GET BUSY

The people of Idaho should right
now be taking steps to advertise Ida
no as never before the Nampa Herald
says. All the other mountain states
are alive to their opportunities and
are already taking steps to make
their resources known to the people
in the east. Not one of them can
show more latent wealth than Idaho.
Our vast agricultural, mining and
forest resources must appeal to those
seeking investments If they are made
acquainted with them. The good
business man pushes all the harder
when times are dull Idaho should
do the same and besides times may
not be dull next year. We cannot
wait to see if we are to do any good.
Now is the time to make our eastern
friends acquainted with our advant-
ages and so stimulate their interest
that they will be sure to look us
over when they visit the fair next
year.

A STRONG CAUTION

An ugly word in an irrigated
country is seepage. 1t calls up WIS.,
ions of waterlogged lands and ruined
prospects; of shattered fortunes and
blasted hopes. Nor is it necessary
that seepaga should have actually
started to cast an air of gloom over
farming community and drive the
laughter out of the homes of the
men on the land.
About the only real menace in the
case of a we'll established water right
lies in the danger of the use of too
much water. Rarely is too little
used. The tendency is to use plenty
and then a little more for good mea-
sure. All Idaho is concerned in just
the same sense as is every other ir-
rigated section on the face of the
earth.
Possibly the strongest preachment
on the dangers of using too much
water that has ever been uttered
within the confines of the Gem state
was delivered in the form of a speech
in Boise recently, when Sir William
Willcocks, one of the foremost irri-
CATION authorities of the world, made
use of the following words, repro
duced herewith in the hope that so
definite a warning at the hands of
such a man will be given the consid-
ertion which the subject deserves:
81 feel as If should say something
about what I have seen in my visit
here. I think I may say I know
thoroughly the subject of irrigation.
In fact, I know little else. Music,
for instance, means nothing to me.
I know nothing of politics and gen.
eral topics of interest. My father
was an irrigation engineer in India
and I began working with him at
~ years of age. I am now 81 and
have worked and plodded on irri-
cation and nothing but irrigation for
SO years.
II have been employed in India,
Egypt, and am familiar with condi-
lions in Turkey, in Arabia, in Italy;
but never in my whole experience
have I seen such a willful waste of
water or seen water so injuriously
applied as here.
LET me tell you of the Boise val
ley that you have sufficient water
flowing through your canyon of the
Boise river to irrigate 100000 acres,
and if that water is used on a smaller
area you are going to ruin your land.
You are running it now.
"From what have been told, your
Twin Falls South Side canal is using
water on 100000 acres that is suf-
fcient for 100000 acres, and in a
few years that 100000 acres, and

dry. But this would not meet with
the conventions of the orderly society
of Mackay, through which Bill would
have to pass to reach our hotel.
This trip of seven miles had been
made as all modest fishing trips are,
by team, and the considerate livery
man had sent along feed of grain
in a gunny sack for the gaunt livery
horses. This had been eaten and
there lay the nice, dry gunny sack
under the surrey.
"Chas," says Bill, as he solemnly
thumped a spacious brow. Behold
by B. V. D's!"
Taking the gunny sack by its limp
and empty throat he cut out each
corner of the bottom, and, divesting
himself of his wet and soggy neither
and outer leg covering, thrust his
feet, each in succession, through the
two holes thus made, drew the top
of the sack to his waist and deity
knotted the pickering string He
then wrung out his trousers and
drew them on over the sack, and no
one but Bill and us knew that he was
not clad in $40 silken underwear.
A few weeks ago I happened to
meet Bill casually, and of course we
had to recount the experiences of
our Lost river fishing trip. When
we got to this part of it, Bill re-
marked:
Eyes, a gunny sack is a little
scratchy, at first, but fellow soon
gets used to it."
Which leaves the suspicion that
Bill has never worn any other kind
since. | shall entice him out on
another trip before the summer is
over and either verify or dispel the
suspicion.

Idaho has been and is afflicted, the
same as other states, with all kinds
of poeple-been the victim of all
kinds of human jobs in carload lots.
Ten per cent of our male population
are candidates for public office and
the percentage who are in a recep-
tive mood is large. All new states
are that way. Many alleged farmers
came to Idaho not to farm the acres,
but the banks, merchants, the I'M

sprinkling of foreigners.

cholera infautum and chicken pox.
Idaho has the sad-eyed reformer
who weeps for our iniquities and
peddles salvation for what he can
grab.
We have the crook, dead beat,
honest man and good fellow. Our
average is fine.
We do not want people to come
to Idaho who are not good citizens,
hard workers, economical and fair
minded.
Twenty dollar pieces do not grow
on the sagebrush, and NO one need
expect the solution of life's problems
to be handed them on a silver platter
on arrival within the confines of the
state.

eastern brothers. Again, we have
had the courage of 1nexperience in
all forms, but now, Allah be praised!
we have been emancipated from the
swaddling clothes of mewling infancy
and We are wised up and now Idaho
is coming into its own,
Idaho's population is 10000; it
contains $4,000 square miles-as big
nearly as Illinois ana Indiana to-
gether. When the resources of the
state are developed six millions of
people will solve the problems of life
amid conditions pleasant to contem-
plate.
Idaho has been overadvertised
along certain lines which has been
detrimental to the state; however,
this occurs everywhere and in due
time is obliterated by general develop
ment and experienced management.

WHERE THE TAXPAYERS PAY
NEEDLESS EXPENSE

Under the laws of this state man
can go into court, bring a defendant
in to defend more or less claptrap
charge and when he gets done and
is skinned" the taxpayers pay the
bill.
One or two instances have occur
red at this term of court which show
how the taxpayer is up against this
proposition.
When a case is started the plain
tiff files a $40 fee with the clerk to
cover the entrance of the case upon
the docket, The defendant, who is
forced to defend the action, pays
three dollars for the filing of his
papers in answer to the complaint.
If the parties to the suit are re-
sponsible the costs to the county
when the case is tried out are as
sessed to and paid by the defeated
party. If the defeated party for the
costs cannot pay them the county is
forced to foot the bill.
1t is argued that if the county did
not pay these costs where the defeat
ed litigant cannot pay, the poor man
could not seek justice and equity in
court. 1t is upon this point that sue
cessful contention has been waged
against any change in the law where
by defeated parties to litigation
should be forced to put up bonds for
costs with the commencement of their

action. But the present law certainly
works out hardship to the payers
of the freight.

WORKS out hardship to the payerSM
of the freight.
There Is one case on the districts
court calendar which involves $2.507
between two men at Hope. This
case has been appealed from the
justice court. The county will be to
the expense of seeing that "justice"
is done between these two nen, or
in other words the county must pays
for the pleasure these two gentlemen
will take in fighting out their petty
quarrel in court. No law confines
jurisdiction in these minor suits to
the probate or justice court. When
their fighting blood is up" the tax
payer is forced to pay the bill for a
neighbors' quarrel.
Jurisdiction in petty cases might
be confined by law to court Of
competent jurisdiction, the probate
court for instance, and there might
De some plan evolved whereby useless
litigation is squelched at it's incep-
ton by the parties to it being forced
to some sort of Repayment to the
county for the costs involved Maybe
if the plaintiff who cannot pay the
costs at the close of his unsuccessful
and needless cause at law would be
compelled by the state to work outs
his costs the same as a person who
cannot pay a court fine is forced to
submit to a jail sentence, the ends
|of justice might be reached and stop

for the settlement of litigation which
has had no foundation for its incep-
tion.-Pend D'Oreille Review.
