where attempts to organize were I'M
successful, individuals have been put
to great expense to save what might
be saved from the wreck.
1t is not meant that all Carey act

probably outnumber the ventures that
have turned out badly. But the unde

as the result of it's irrigation failures.
and the failure of the state to assume
any degree of responsibility, even to
the extent of making any serious at
tempts to enforce its contracts, has
detracted from the benefits the state
would have received from the success
of such projects as the Twin Falls
South Side.
The proposition now is to put the
state in exactly the position people
were given to understand it was in
when they were induced to take up
Idaho lands; to make the state the
guardian of the interests of its set
tiers. The proposed law makes it the
duty of the state to enforce the terms
and provisions of the contracts it en-
tiers into and if law suits are neces-
sary to secure this result, the attor-
ney general Is directed 10 DIlHS lueu'
If litigation is necessary to interpret
any portions of these contracts, or
those the companies have made with
settlers, it becomes the states duty to
carry on litigation. If any of the COM
panies seek to Cypress the settlers on
their projects or to require or demand
of them things that do not appear to be
proper, it becomes the duty of the
state to intercede and protect the set
| tiers interests.
As the situation on several of the
projects are involved in all sorts Of
complexities that will require action
by the courts to iron out, the bill car
ries with it an appropriation of ten
thousand dollars which can be used by
the board in any manner it deems adj
visable to carry out the provisions of
the act.
