STATE HIGHWAY BONDS.

NATE can understand why members of the legislature
VA would hesitate to amend the million dollar state
" highway bond bill late in the session, but we
still feel that if the suggestion of this paper had been
acted earlierthat provision be made for immediate
sale of the bonds in compettonthe state would have
gotten much better price than possible where there is
period of few months between bidding and delivery
The bill provides for not than Az per cent in
terest Under the immediate sale plan they could have
been sold at 3.95 or less
The international situation is such some leading buy
will not consider bonds with the delivery delayed
provided in the bill That disclosed by Wednesday
break in the domestic bond market.
We trust it will out all right and that the bonds
be sold Notwithstanding the delay Even if the state
has pay AZ per cent the benefits in highway improve
ment will justify the increased cost there had been
action to the difference and assure sale, though
believe it would have heena better plan.

ARBITRATION IN WATER DISPUTES.

GPHE general principle of senate bill number 191 should
be given thoughtful consideration. 1t provides
board of control to regulate the of the waters of
the state for irrigation and power This board would in
woke the equitable principle of arbitration under existing
laws and conditions to adjust economically the rights and
practices of water
confusion of statutes court orders and decrees it is
understood, is already endangerng realty titles and
values by uncertainty and threatened expense Of read
justment of water rights The natural conditions result
ing from the change in the character of lands in their
water requirements will result in the readustment of
nearly all water rights in the future
The readjustment of titles to water by court process
which is inevitable if the principle of arbitration
cannot be invoked by authorized board like the
posed in senate bill 91 without delay should impress the
necessity for action The prosperity of the whole
state is involved. There barren fields and swamped
fields in every irrigated district in the state and the
of waste encroachng upon the productive fields
year. The loss to the state by the increase of ruined
is apprecabe The present remedy is through the courts
with certainty of expense that will disturb and depre
ciate values and give unsatisfactory results.
This BILL it is believed will do for Idaho what SINH
lar law doing for Oregon Wyoming and other progress
sve states Fees to be paid only by beneciares will pay
all the expenses of the proposed board and great saving
for water will result from this system of law admin
istration.

emphasized the necessity for girls to
take care Of the younger children,
especially in rural communities dur
ing harvest time when the farmers
wives are working night and day to
prepare food for the farm labor.

.HONORS FOR WOMEN
DECIDED BY king
Those Selected for War Duty May
Use Title Of dame"
Correspondence Of the Associated
Press

Correspondence Of the Associated
Press)
London, July 2O.-Two new orders
have been instituted by King George
inrecognition of the manifold services,
voluntary and other. that have been
rendered in connection with the war.
The first is the Order Of the British
Empire cosisting of five classes to be
given to women as well as men, the
first two classes carrying the honor Of
knighthood for men and in the case
Of women, the privilege Of prof1xing
the title Dame" to their names. The
five classes are:--
For men-knights of the Grand
Cross, knights Commander Command
ers, Officers, Members.
For Nomenclature Of the Grand
Cross, Danes Commanders, Com
manders, officers. Members.
The second Order will be entitled
"Order of the Companions OF Honor
consisting of one class only, for both
women and men. The order carries
no title or precedence and will be
conferred on a limited number Of per-
sons for whom special distinction
seems to be the most appropriate
form of recognition. The Prince of
Wales has been appointed Grand Mas
ter of the Order.
The badge of the Order of the
British Empire for the first three
classes is a silver gilt cross, enamelled
pearl grey, with a circle enamelled
crimson centre with representation
Of Brita mia. The circle contains the
motto For God and the Empire.
The star for the first two classes is
an eight pointed silver star, the centre
of which bears the same device as
the badge.
The fourth class has a badge
s,roi1ar tn +he first three but is smaller
and not enamelled.
The fifth class badge is Of silver
gilt.
