The Consistent House

The house of representatives is maintaining the consistency The Republican hoped it would when the Jones senate Philippines independence bill was transmitted tc t last week. By a decisive vote it has declared against the senseless provision to fix any time in the future for the independence of the islands, notwithstanding that provision had the un- qualified approval of the president There are some limits of foolish Dartisanship beyond which even partisans ought not to be expected to go.
 If the bill had the house providing only for an expression in favor of indeendence of the Fipinos at sometime, though wotlld have been useless measure it would have been 8 harmless one II would have been one which democrats republi- cans and all others who are not doing use- less things could have endorsed, for all are agreed that the tlhpnos. should be aowel self government

In the opinion of First Assistant Secretary of the Interior A. A. Jones, received here yesterday. the water user attains his water right when his application is accepted and the first payment made.

 Project Manager W. s. Cone gave out the substance of the opinion yes- terday. The gist of it is contained in tho following
 Thereafter iE making proof of resi- 1ence concerning private lands, it will only be required that it appear that the applicant was q bona fide resi- dent on the lard, or occupant thereof, resiGing in the neighDorhood before and al the time of making water right application. That is to say, the resi- dence must be in good faith and not made for the mere purpose of coming technically within the requirements
 A good illustration is the residence re- quired of a homesteader-not as tC fact. Bat no such proof will be re- guired in making proof final water l, whether such certificate he issued under the original reclamation act ol
