This is illustrated by the typical

started housekeeping in a New Jersey
suburb of New York few lears ago.
With the aid Of one of the building

in New Jersey, they built house, af-
ter having paid for their lot with saw

At the end of several years they had
an equity in the property amounting to
about 81 900 At that time there came
to this man an especially good BUSH
ness opportunity in another state, and
lie was compelled to sell his home in
order to move.
This he was able to do easily, re-
ceiving a good cash payment on the
property and a second mortgage for
the balance (the building and loan as

TaE PROGRESSIVE DRIFT

Whether it was the arrival of the
third birthday of the Progressive party
early this month, or merely the reali-
cation that the 1916 campaign is but
a short year ahead, something has
stirred Progressive leaders to unusual
midsummer activity and the serious
consideration of their party's politi-
cal future and their own. So many
Progressives Of light and leading deem
the occasion opportune for declara-
tion of resolove to reform the Repub-
lican party henceforth from within
that many editors are confirmed in
their expectations of complete reab-
sorption of the Progressives before
election day next year. And the Pro-
gressive infant, say several of the more
unsympathetic, is celebrating its
birthday by succumbing to infantile
paralysis. But fears of approaching
dissolution, others note, do not trou-
BILE the mind of such militant Progress
sives as Victor Murdoch. He is
ready to say flatfootedly that the
Progressives are going into the 1916
fight as party and to win" Colonel
Roosevelt has returned from his recent
tour of the West, according to the New
York Times, with one thing stamped
indelibly in his mind, and that was
that there would be a national conven-
ton of the Progressive party, at which
straight Progressive ticket would be
nominated" Mr. Rooseyelt's sugges-
ton of the name of Governor John
son as Presidential candidate is said to
be quite in line with Western Pro-
gressive opinion, and some political
torecasters expect to see the Calitor-
MIA executive enter the Republican
and thus bid for the support
of the entire Progressive element. The
Colonel himself will enroll as a Pro-
gressive in his own state, though he
has, only kind words for the prominent
New York Progressives who intend to
enroll as Republicans. And that the
Colonel will not be alone even in New
York is evidenced by the meeting of
twenty-nine county Progressive lead
ers who did "solemnly resolve to con-
tlnue our organization. The New
York county committee adopted form
al resolutions which one of its mem
bers tersely summed up in these
words: "Any one of our party who fav-
ors an alliance with the Republican
party, which is as rotten today as it
was in 1912, is a traitor" This skep-
tical attitude touching Republican re-
pentanee is common to the Progress
sive leaders who are Ioudest in calling
their followers to rally once more
round the Bull-Moose banner. OF these
calls to battle the already quoted
statement of ex-Congressman Muir
docks is generally held to be the most
significant, He says, in part:
Both in its protest against the in

The Times next issue has very able
article from f.. G. Mcclellan, an ir-
rigation engineer of Salt Lake. that
should be read by every irrigator in
the Twin Falls country. A great many
experienced farmers will probably not
agree with Mr.. Mcclellan in his con-
tentiOn. They are urged at least to
give it more than passing attention.
That too much water is being used for
successful irrigation is becoming more
and more apparent to the ranchers
who are studying the water problems.
The amount of water used is the cru
cial point and it is here that the ar
guments begin. Mr.. Mcclellan is hon
est in his views, and is not in the pay
of irrigation promoters with an object
in view, but is the owner of an irri-
gated ranch in Nevada, where the wa
ter is available makes economy neces-
sary. His evidence is therefore worth
while if 1t adds to the knowledge of
the local ranchers To use too much
water and waste it and the land is
criminal because it is robbing the flu
ture. IT thirty to thirty-five inches
of water will raise maximum crops
then the excess belongs not to the in
dividual but to the state for use on
other arid lands.
If the Twin Falls ranchers have
more than enough water they by rea-
son of their purchased water rights,
have a valuable asset, but neverthe
less one which is no asset while it is
being wasted year by year.

THE WATERWoRKs SITUATION

w IA LIN w oINNo OIL VA AoAN
The Times in going into the ques-
tons at stake in the present water
works situation, will probably say
something that will rankle with some
of the obstructionists, who have plac-
ed obstacles in the way of the consul
nation of city ownership. The Times
will give credit to some of these men
for sincerity in their views, but the
bulk of them in opposing the present
city administration are actuated by
the lowest of human motives, simply
the desire for political revenge. For
six years the issue in city affairs has
been municipal waterworks system.
Every candidate without an exception
has pledged himself to that platform.
1t would seem that honor and integrity
of purpose would pledge every one of
these men to support any move that
will bring about the desired end ir-
respective of whether they were sue
cessful in the election or not. They
should take the lead in working for
the city ownership.
But the truth of the matter is that
above a clear cut duty as citizen
to promote the welfare of the city,
number of citizens are letting I'M
worthy motives gain ascendancy
and are in every way trying
to stop tile elimination of the
desired end. To such men the Times
can offer nothing but scorn and con-
tempt. To cloak revenge under the
guise of sincere objection is the cpl
tome of hypocrisy. The Times has ex-
pected that some of the most rabid
and interested partizans of the de-
feated administration would do every
thing to defeat any attempt at the per-
Torrance of election promises on the
part of the Sweeley administration,
the citizens were big enough to drop
personalities and work for things
which will benefit the whole city. 1t
still hopes the small group of OBJ
structionists will become still small
Ter in numerical numbers at least.
The Times believes that the price
asked by the Waterworks company is
plenty high and that it does not rep
resent the actual physical valuation
by any means. Sixty-five thousand
dollars will probably be nearer the ac-
tual figures OF the investment. But
there are a few points which the tax
