EQUAL SUFFRAGE MEETING

Miss Anna Martin, president of
the Equal Suffrage Association of
Nevada. and Miss Mabel Vernon,
state organizer. addressed a fair
sized meeting in front of the Com
mercial Hotel Thursday night.
Judge Taber called the meeting
to order and introduced Miss Mar
tin as the first speaker. She was
received with applause. In the
course of her remarks Miss Martin
said that "Nevsda's greatest ne d
is Tor more women as Nevada has
the lowest percentage of women in
any state of the United States
$4,000 women over 2l years of age
as compared with 10000 men. A
great state with prosperous homes
and farms can be built up only by
men and women working together,
and Nevada. the only non-suffrage
state in the west, should be made
an inviting place for women to come
to. be enfranchising them at the
next election.
At the conclusion of Miss Mar
TINS remarks. Miss Vernon was in
truduced. She called attention 10
the fact that the demand of wo-
men for the right Of suffrage is
not based on the principle of abb
stract justice alone, but on the de-
sire of women to continue to do the
work that is traditionally theirs s.
the care Of the home and children.
Government today" said Miss
Vernon, "does not mean merely
the maintainauce Of armies and
navies, Of jhils and penitcntiaries,
but it means the education of lhil
dren, the care of the sick, the pre-,
rention Of disease and the re ;ula
tiuns of affairs that have to do with
the home. The government is do
ing a goodly share of the WORK
that was once entirely in the rand,
of women and absolutely under
their control. Women are asking
for power to do their own work
effectively and expeditously."
She appealed to Nevada men tc
live up to the reputation for pro,
grcss and liberality that western
people have all over the country
She declared that Nevada would
be marked as a backward or pre-.
gressive state, according to the ac.
tion the men take on woman
suffrage at the next election.
The ladies were given a respect.

frequently punctuated by applause.
There was considerable noise on

STATE LINES ERASED
IRRIGATION PRloRirIEs UPHELD
IN U. .. WATER RULING.
publican River Case In Federal
Court.

Western Newspaper Union News setl
Denver.--A. decision involving all
irrigation projects in Colorado and
with wide bearing on similar cases
throughout the United States was
Court when Judge r.. f. Lewis decided
that state boundaries have no bearings
on water rights and that the state has
no special claim on the water OF the
rivers which spring up within its
boundaries.
The decision was given In the case
OF the Pioneer Irrigation Company OF
Nebraska against John Z. Field. state
engineer, his assistants and all users
OF wnter from the Republican river in
Colorado.
The plaintiffs claim priorities on
the river antedating many OF those
held by Colorado irrigators. who have
been taking water from the stream
before 1t passes out OF the state.
The court decrced that the Colorado
users must leave twenty-nine feet OF
water In the river where It crosses
into Nebraska. The case VIII be car
ried to the United States Court OF
Appeals.
Should the Supreme Court OF the
United States uphold this decision"
Attorney General Farrnr. who has
been active In the case. said. 1T will
mean loss OF millions of dollars to
Colorado and the suspension of more
than half OF the larger irrigation prof
ects OF the state"
The Colorado officials and Charles
i. Allen. attorney for the water users.
contend not only that they had the
right to all the water they could take
out OF the stream In their own state.
but that, because of the Inevitable
seepage and return flow of the water
used, the same amount would go far
ther and could be used over and over
again. II It was taken out nearer the
head Of the stream. than II allowed
to run over into Nebraska across the
arid territory. where much OF 1t would
be lost by evaporation and must be
wasted through being unused.
The question is specially vital to
Colorado, according to Farrar. because
all OF her streams flow over into ad-
Joining states.
On its final settlement will depend
the fate of many irrigation enterprises
on the Arkansas. the Platte, the Lara
mie, the Grand. the Rio Crande and
the Las Animas rivers.
