lands, and there has been land seq
regated under the Carey act law. 1t
appears that said company has not
reclaimed said desert lands in accord
ance with contract,
Therefore be 1t resolved, That the
Twin Falls Oakley Land s. Water COM
pany be hereby notified to appear be-
fore the land board OF the state OF
Idaho on April 20. as16, at 10 a, M.
and show cause why It's contract with
the company be elected from the
premises"
During the all-day argument yester-
day the representatives Of the company
set forth they had water in the reser-
voir ready to deliver to settlers on the
project as quickly as they paid their
financial obligations but would make
no delivery until they were paid. They
stood pat on that issue and refused to
compromise.
Speaking for the settlers their rep
resentatives before the board declared
they would make no further payments
until they are assured and satisfied
that they are to be delivered one and
one-half acre feet Of water called for
In their contracts with the company.
They asserted that they have not this
assurance at the present time.
In view of the fact that the land
board some time ago directed the state
engineer to proceed with an examine
ton of the project with the view OF
carrying out it's orders reducing the
acreage therein, the issues before the
board yesterday were complicated
The company representatives asked the
board to cancel all entries where the
settlers have not lived up to their con-
tracts. The settlers replied that it is
impossible for them to make fina
proof without water. Here again Is
said to have been another complica-
ton because the board some time age
authorized an extension Of time to the
settlers in which to make final proof
The settlers refused to recede from
their stand and the company to de-
liver the water until payments were
made, so the mandamus proceedings
order of the board followed.

In a decision handed down yester-
day by Judge r. s. Dietrich in the Unit
ed States district court, 1t was held that
the tax assessed against the equity of
the reclamation lands In Canyon county
under the Boise project, to which full
patent has not been given, is legal and
valid in AS much as the assessor Of
that county recognized an exemption
in favor of the government by insert
ing before the name of each taxpayer
the words, Equity Of" thus expressly
limiting the assessment to such equity
as the person named had in the land
described. The decision was given in
the friendly suit brought by ]. l.. Nc
Clear, United States district attorney
versus Canyon county, its assessor and
county commissioners.
In the decision in which Judge Die
trich covers various phases of the case
and goes into the law extensively, he
holds, that the settlers have a vested
interest in the land and not a bare op-
ton to purchase when and IL the gov
eminent sees At to sell" Further the
decision states, that the settlers not
only have the exclusive use of the
lands, but that they may by assignment
transfer them in whole or in part, and
thus realize in money the entire value
thereof" The court further cites, that
if the entryman has the valuable right
of possession and use and the unquali-
fed power to acquire the legal title,
which gives him vested interest
which may be sold, mortgaged and in
herited, it is difficult to see why it may
not be taxed without impairing or
clouding the title of the United States
or infringing upon its rights"
No Oppressive Tax.
The court holds, that it is not to be
assumed that the state will impose an
oppressive or discriminating tax for
the deliberate purpose Of destroying the
project If such were its desire 1t
could accomplish It as well by levyine
taxes upon the stock, implements and
other personal property which the
settler needs for his maintenance nnf
for carrying on the work of reclama-
ton, and in such property, it will be
conceded that the government has nc
interest, and hence could not interfere.
1--WE must assume" the decision
continues, "the tax will be fair and
equitable and sufficient only to provide
such public institutions and such pub
lie conveniences, and to maintain such
governmental agencies. as are reason
ably necessary for the comfort, health
and we'll being Of the community and
that being true, we have a right to as
sumo, that government lands in such a
community and under such conditions
will be more attractive to settlers, and
will be more eagerly sought after, an6

STATE TO BRING
ACTION AGAINST
OAKLEY COMPANY
Proceedings to Be Instituted
to Secure Water for the
Settlers on the Tract This
Season.

There Is a serious question az to
Oakley project will receive water for
the irrigation season of 1916. This
became evident at a session of the
state land board yesterday when
S. II. Hays and D. c. Macwatters,
representatives of the Twin Falls Oak
ley Land & Water company. appeared
before the board to show cause why
their company should not be ousted
from the premises for failure to com
ply with the terms of it's contract with
the state to furnish water for the
project lands.
After the representatives of the COM
pany and water users association, in
which are enrolled the settlers of the
project, had argued before the board
all day yesterday. the board stepped in
and ordered and directed Attorney
eGeneral ]. II. Peterson to proceed
forthwith and institute mandamus pro
ceedings against the Twin Falls Oak :
ley Land & Water company to compel
IL to deliver water to the settlers this
spring and for the balance of the ir-
rigation season. The attorney general
will act Immediately under the reso-
luton adopted.
The company representatives claimed
that the settlers having failed to meet
their financial obligations with the
company, the company Is not under
obligation to furnish them water. The
settlers, who were represented by
Moses Smith and w. L. Dunn, made II
plain to the land board the settlers
have not the money to pay on their
CONTRACTS and therefore cannot be Ok
pei ted to meet the obligations They
insist the settlers are entitled TO wafer
just the same
Last year there was shortage OF
water on this project. 1t was an elk :
ceptionally dry year and the crops OF
many settlers were either ruined or
were short in yield. Therefore they
were unable TO raise funds 10 meet
their water payments.
At a meeting OF the land board
earlier this week Il resolution was in
troduccd by the governor citing the
company representatives to appear be-
fore it today and show cause why they
should not be elected from the project
IT was this resolution that brought uI
today's hearing. The resolution is rs
follows:
Whereas The Twin F'alls-O Oakley
Land & Water company has entered
into contract with the state Of Idaho
for the purpose of reclaiming desert

a community where the settler must
live under harsh and primitive condi-
tons. In the Indian country the gov
eminent assumes the responsibility of
providing or requiring the Indians to
provide for these conditions of civilized
society, but in the case of reclamation
projects It has and recognizes no such
responsibility. II therefore, as is ne
take UP the task. it should not be re-
quired to make bricks without straw
Suhjsot to Taxation.
II have concluded that the interests
OF the settlers In this class, as we'll as
In the other class OF lands, is subject
to taxation. Such also, 1t may be added,
has been the conclusion of the supreme
court of the state in the case OF CLANCY
versus Minidol.a county.
Accordingly the relief prayed for
will be denied. but. for the purpose Of
setting at rest any doubt as to the
validity and effect OF the order of the
board OF county commissioners and the
subsequent action of the assessor in
conformity Herewith, q decree will be
entered restraining the defendants
from asserting any claim against the
interest of the government by reason
of the tax proceedings, or selling at
tax sale any interest other than that
Of the settler"
The decision affects approximately
$4,000 acres Of land in the Boise pro-
Ject. most Of which is situated In Can
yon county and a, part in Ada county
and also in Malheur county, Ore. In
the defendant county of Canyon, there
are approximately 1000 defendants.
