CANNOT SHUT OFF
SETTLERS WATER


lowed closely by both settlers and wa
ter companies.
The court in its opinion held the
contract of the Twin Falls-Oakley
company, signed by the settlers, was
in conflict with the public policy and
laws of this state because it gave to
the water company power of cutting
off the water supply needed for irri-
cation purposes when principal and
interest on water contracts were not
met.
The principal contention in the case
between the water company and the
plaintiffs centered about the validity
of that portion of the contract.
can examination of the contract be-
tween the state and the construction
company shows that it contains no
provision which authorizes the con-
struction company to refuse the de-
livery of water where the entryman
is in default in the payment of either
principal or interest on his water con-
tract with the construction company"
says the court in its opinion.
"This clearly indicates that such a
procedure was not contemplated by
the state or the construction COM
pany when that contract was entered
into, nor, as we view it, could such a
provision have been legally inserted
in the contract between the state and
the construction company"
That portion of the contract, found
in section 6, drawn up by the water
company and signed by the settlers, is
void within the opinion of the court
The paragraph in question reads:
1T is agreed that no water shall be
delivered to the purchasers from said
irrigation system while any initial in
stallment of principal or interest is
due and unpaid from the purchaser to
the said company or while any toll
and assessment is due and unpaid
from the purchaser to the Oakley Can
al company"
The court held that the company
did not rely upon paragraph six of its
contract for the penalty to be imposed
for the failure on the part of the set
tier to comply with the conditions of
the contract in the matter of making
deferred payments together with the
interest therein provided for, but il
relied upon other provisions of the
contract
In dealing with the action that the
company may take in the matter, The
opinion states: "Where a person, as
sociation or corporation contracts tC
deliver a certain quantity of water t
any party or parties and the amounts
to be paid by said party or parties
for the delivery of such water is fixet
by contract or provided by law, it be

of the lien fixed by contract for tn

Used This Year.

r. w. Steele has invented a new
feeder for his clover huller which will
do the work now performed by two
men. The new invention permits the
feeding of the machine from the
ground, instead of from the wagon, so
that the services of the men who
pitched from the ground to the wagon
and from the wagon to the machine
under the old method, are dispensed
with.
Mr. Steele is fixing up his grain
thresher for business and will get out
shortly. After a run of about a
month here, he will go to Canada.

Cost Of Farmers Mutual Insur-
ance.
Few now doubt the value of
insurance if the cost can be kept
low enough to keep it from being
too great a burden. Of course,
fr every dollars worth Of prop
erty destroyed some one must
pay. Insurance simply distrib-
utes this loss so that it dosen't
fall so heavily on the man who
happens to be unfortunate. The
efficient company win give the
greatest possible protection for
the least possible cost in add
ton to the actual payment of
loss. There are said to be farm
er's mutual companies in this
country handling over a million
dollars in risks at a cost Of less
than 5000 a year, excluding, of
course, the losses paid. The ty-
pical farmers cc~Oany can do
things of this kind because it
pays no salaries or only a very
small salary to a secretary and
adjuster for the time actually
given in adjusting losses. In
addition to this there is some
slight expense for postage in
case members are notified Of
meetings and assessments BY
mail and for paper, envelopes.
and q few simple Office supplies
Of this kind.

Do We Want This
Type Of Senator
In Place of Our
james A. Reed
4 MIsSnIIRI MARK HAMA.

The Republican campaign text book saves US
the trouble of characterizing Walter ,. hickey,
the Republican candidate for Senator heeGs
seat in the United States Senate. 1t CLASHES
him with the late Mark Hanna of slush fund fame
in the following apt and pithy paragraph:
Those who knew Senator Mark Hanna
in the DAYS of his dominance believe that
Mr.. Dickey has many OF that great poll
teal chieftain's masterful characters
tics as a political organizer, and will like
wise demonstrate in the Senate ms
splendid capacity for legislative leader
ship.
The country suffered so much from Senator
Hanna's "masterful characteristics as a political
organizer which resulted in the degradation OF
national politics to a game OF Trying the rat ana
dividing the spOils, that we hardly think the people
of Missouri want to commission another OF MS
lke-a Missouri Mark Hanna. The sytsem by
which the masters of finance and industry cor
rupted the electorate and bought elections to be
richly repaid afterwards by the loot OF special
privilege was largely a creation OF Senator Hanna.
The country has just rid itself of the system and
its lobby, its loot and its campaign slush funds.
We don't want it revived.
The dollar mark was on everything political
that Senator Hanna did. Like the Senator, Mr..
Dickey has the dollars and is willing to spend
them in politics. In the sketch of him printed
in to-day's Sunday Post-Dispatch we find that he
is not ayerse in making money by forming COM

franchises in his nome city. He has profted by
the sale of franchise values which belonged to his
city.
NJ. Dickey has been continuously identified
with two organizations, one local and the other
national, which are bitterly antagonistic to organ
lied labor. He was a member of the Manufactur-
ers Association which maintained a rotten lobby at
Washington.
Nothing in his record suggests the advisability
of substituting him for Senator Reed who has a
fine clean record of usefulness in the Senate.
Senator Reed has proved in the Senate, capacity,
industry and devotion to public service. Much of
the criticism he received in his early labors his
complete record shows to have been undeserved
and most of it was earned by his independence
Almost desirable quality in public men, particularly
in members Of Congress. His contributions to
the Wilson administration record of achieve
ments have been notable and valuable.
Senator Reed is just entering upon his period
of greatest usefulness. He has the experience of
one term. 1t is a mistake to reject a faithful and
capable Senator. 1t would be a monstrous blum
der to exchange him for a successor who would
attempt to undo the best things that have been
done for the people and who in the event of Mr..
Wilson's election would try to block his progress
