FORMATION OF A
DISTRICT URGED
ON THE SETTLERS
Chief Counsel for Reclama-
ton Service Advises Dis
continuance of the Water
Users Association.

Caldwell, Nov. 10.-That government
water rights on the Boise Payette ir-
rigation project will cost from SIS to
$50 per acre was the statement of Judge
Will r. King, chief counsel OF the rec
lamation service, who addressed the
settlers of the project yesterday after
noon at a meeting held in the city hall.
In his effort to influence the settlers to
abandon their organization of the
Boise Payette Water Users associa-
ton and organize themselves into an
irrigation district, Judge King set forth
ell the advantages which he claimed
would accrue from the latter organi-
cation and delineated the disadvantages
and defects of their present organiza
ton. Under present conditions. he ad-
vised that the cost Of the water rights
was construed as a lien against the
land, and that now the settlers could
not secure loans on their lands from
the rural credit banks, but that if they
organized under the provisions Of an
irrigation district that these loans
would be possible for them. He de-
clared that by organizing as an irriga-
ton district the settlers would pave
the way for an extension of the project
TO include approximately $4,000 acres of
the Black Canyon project or Hill Crest
lands which would effect a reduction
on the cost Of water rights to the set
tiers to the extent OF $40 to s12 per
acre.
Through inquiry It developed that
under the provisions of an Irrigation
district the national government would
still hold that u residence on or within
30 miles OF the land would be a requi-
site for purchasing water right
though the belief was expressed by
Judge King that the Interpretation of
department in reference to this point
would be a liberal one
COST OF THE WATER.
Judge King made it clear that the
policy of the government would be to
collect the full amount of the estimated
charge for water rights, which will
probably not be announced until after
the annual meeting of the Water Users
association in January unless the an
nouncement should be FASTENED by a
refusal upon the part of the settlers to
organize as an irrigation district. He
stated that by perfecting such an or
ganization, none of their rights to con-
test the cost of their water rights
through litigation would be forfeited.
However. Judge King took the posi-

Senator Newlands at Verdi Tells of
Accomplishments of Administration

CATION of its effects. All other legisla-
lation was postponed to the future.
- The President Brave--Congress
Cowardly
In all this contention, continued Mr..
| Newlands, the President was brave and
Congress cowardly. The President
sought to cover Immediately every
phase of the question by adequate legis'
%lation. Congress postponed the con
sideration of the most of his recon-
mendations to a time which may never
come, if apathy again controls. But
we may be assured that the President
will push all his recommendations at
the next session. The fault of failure
of legislation as to these important mat
ters rests with Congress, not the Presi-
dent, and in the Congress the Republi-
cans were equally at fault with the
Democrats. AS an instance of this the
Speaker said that when he introduced,
in June last, long before the strike was
ordered, a resolution in the Senate for
the investigation by the Interstate
Commerce Commission Of all the con-
ditions relating to the hours and wages
of all railway employees, including
those outside of the railway brother
hoods, the resolution was laid on the
table on the motion Of a prominent
Republican Senator.
Reason, Not Force
In all matters, therefore, said Mr..
Newlands, relating to war, whether the
war in Europe, the civil war in Mexico
or the threatened industrial war in
the United States, the President had
stood by the civilized policy of substi-
tuting reason for force, and under most
trying and contradictory circumstan-
ces, amidst public clamor and criticism,
had pursued as consistent a course as
was possible under constantly chang
ing conditions.
Carson City daily appeal. [volume] (Carson City, Nev.) 1907-1930, 1916-10-23

record over, it's so good that criticism
comes close to being nothing more
than cheap fault finding.
"A fool or a coward would have had
the United States in all sorts Of
trouble. As it is, we are at peace, the
country was never more prosperous,
and we have the strength that
with honor and integrity of purpose.
Had we recognized Huerta, it
would have served notice upon the
world that the United States, while
believing in democracy for home use,
was willing to stand for despOtism
where other peoples We're concerned.
President Wilson's Mexican policy has
been wise and just and courageous.
Belgium? Hindsight! In the light
of two years, it's easy to say what
K should have been done. But at the
time, not a single paper or a public
man wen thought of anything but
keeping the United States out of the
European horror.

beer n big thing after another with

dangerous questions brought up for de-
cision to n n President.
Loo at the threatened general rail-
road strike. If carried through, such
a strike would have thrown the whole
country into confusion.
ain my opinion, Mr.. Hughes, if
President, would have found it difficult
to decide on the best course for the
Government to take in such matters.
His capacity for hindsight, as we learn
from his speeches, is highly developed,
but as to his foresight, we are not
equally we'll informed. .
''They say Wilson has Numbered.
Perhaps he has. But l notice that he
usually bIunders forward.
"Mr. Wilson now has had about -four
years of experience, and l think that
he has earned faith and trust. l do
not think it a sensible thing to change
to an inexperienced and untried man
Therefore, I en for Woodrow
Wilson,"

(Continued from Page One]

with reference to this the President
acted promptly. With a view to pre-
venting the strike he proposed leglsla-
ton giving the men their contention
without the overtime penalty during a
period of government investlgatlQn,
lasting between six nine months,
in which all the questions relating to
| wages and time were to be considered
With reference to the adjustment OF
the additional cost of operation as
| between the railway stockholders and
the shippers, he proposed an investlga-
ton and decision by the Interstate
| Commerce Commission. With reference
to guarding against future emergencies
of a similar nature the President pro-
| posed legislation preventing, in such
eases, either strikes or lOckOutS pend
ing a government investigation by a
tribunal organized for the purpose Of
| entertainment and publication Of the
facts, and also legislation giving the
President the power in case of military
necessity to take possession of and
operate the trains.
Proposal Pair to All Parties
In this way the President sought to
be fair to all parties, the railway en-
ployees, the railway operators and
investors, and the shippers and general
public. The Presidents proposal was a
connected scheme of legislation which
ought to have been adopted as an
entirety. As such l supported it
earnestly, said Mr.. Newlands, but !
was unable to persuade either the Sen
ate Committee on Interstate Commerce,
of which ] was chairman, or the Sen
ate to consider any of the Presidents
proposals except the one favorable to
the brotherhoods as to ten hours pay
for eight hours work and the investi-

THE FIGHTING TENTH
CAVALRY.

Once more Ethiopia is called to
mourn the loss of some of her fight
ing sons. We learn that the gallant
tenth cavalry has gone down in death,
fighting for country that would not
fight for It; and one that looks calm
ly on while their brothers are being
lynched, burned, and suffering tor
ture as cruel as any ever were en-
dured in the middle ages. Greater
love than this can no man show than
to lay down his life for his friend. >"
AS we reflect, however, we recall that
the supremest sacrifices of this world
was made by a loving Christ for an
ungrateful people. But is not trag-
edy that these men, members of a
despised part of humanity, should be
the first to give up their LIES blood
in order that white women and white
babies should sleep unmolested and
undisturbed, while black children and
black women and their loved ones
must pass sleepless nights and &c
with sorrowful hearts on their deary
way? The fighting tenth has left us,
protecting flag which does not pro
tect them. The call of duty and their
devotion to an ideal was stronger
than their appeal of hatred and re-
venge and so into the gates of death
these black men went never to re.
turn. Custer and his men went into
the trap set for them and the world
will long honor their memory. Now
in less time than sixty years the same
thing has been repeated only it hap
pens that the lives lost this time
were black instead of white. Is il
the uShering in of better era for
the black folks?

Topeka, Kan.-Attorney General S.

that the merchants of city or the
state could form trust or order boy

merchants have worked out a scheme
whereby each merchant is to make a
report monthly of his customers who
do not pay regularly or have not salts
factorily adjusted their accounts.
These reports are then to be forward
ed to every other merchant in the local
association, and they are to refuse

There are some lawyers who have
held that the merchants could not form
an association to boycott the deadbeat
without violating the antitrust laws.
