AN IMPORTANT DECISION

The decision of the Supreme Court in
the ease of Henry Eldredge VS.. the Mill
Ditch company which went before that body
on appeal from this county is one that is
bound To have considerable effect in Eastern
Oregon 1t also will be of interest to nearly
every one in this section who is nIigating a
farm from Il mutually owned ditch.
In effect the decision which rcverscs
the original demurrer says that ditch com.
pany is in effect an agent on trustee of the
stockholders whose water it is conveying
for their use on the lands, and therefore il
can not be sold to satisfy n debt of the com,
pany
Such ditch is further declared tobe a
quasi-puhlc corporation and its franchise
aud property is not subject to such Judge
ment sale
I'm concluding the opinion which was
written by Judge Bennett he says: "In this
ease it would be Il calamity to a portion of the
public, represented by the water users, if
the ditch could be sold and their water rights

WHILE WE LOAF

While the United States is loaiing on
the Job Of doing something for the returned
soldier Canada is getting her war heroes back
ON the land. The Canadian department has
already advanced $l,300,000 To soldiers who
have farms To equip them and build homes,
and has in detail worked ont great farm
for every soldier" plan.
To make this plan effective at once 4
census of all Canadian troops over seas has
been taken and it is found that 43 per cent
Of the Canadian soldiers want farms. That
is "A real start toward the solution of the
problem. Canada is trying to find ont just
what her fighting men want 10 do when they
lay away their fighting togs.
What has United States dome toward
asccrtaming what our boys want Nothing
so far as press dispatches reveal
After all that is mighty important
part of the problem. What is the use OF talk
ing about reclaiming loggcd-oH, swamp land
or even irigating arid land, if there exists
no certainty that the soldiers will want it!
So far as the Western states are con
cened united effort should be made Ia

boys want to make their homes in this sec,
tion. II we are 10 have returned t0 us, onl,
the men who left the West. less those who
gloriously died over there; the present dc
veloped lands will care for them, with the
addition of a few projects, and this talk of
great projects, badly as we want them, is of
no avail.
So far as can be determined from vari+
ous reports all the authorities agree that
there will be big migration of the soldier
boys to the West, This opinion is based oli
the results which followed the civil war, and
may be taken as indicative of what will hap
pen now But why leave all this to opinion
Why not get the facts There is no supreme

ROAD LEGISLATION

In spite OF all the WlSdOlh IIat any ~"
cI1np of four or five, or more good roauS en-
thusiasts is ready to hand down with ullc-
ton. individually or collectively, ana hay'
been SO doing for years, 1t apearS tial iil'
lawmakers at Salem have absorbed but III
tle If they have they have manifested no
disposition to translate their wisdom lllt"
tangible results ,...,
Perhaps the foregoing is too drastic an
estimate of legislative knowledge. Ihc rcaI
reason for the lack of action may be tha'
there is too wide a diffusion of road knoWi-
edge and that each legislator knows. OF
thinks. he knows, all about roads and then
construction. while the other fellow does
not.
What ever the case may be there seems
IN he little doing on the road question at
Salem but talk.
Oregon has road problem and there -
no DENYING it. What will build good road
i'm the webfoot section will hardly serve the
bunch grass country. Things are different
over here. and it is time that the Legislators
recognized that fact and let the Highway
Commission proceed
The legislature will do well to coniino
its activities to making laws and providing
and safeguarding the funds to be used Tor
highway work without writing the spcclll-
cations for road building into the laws OF the
state.
If the Highway commission thru ITS cll.
gmcers is not to be trusted with the details
of such work. it should be abolished nstan.
ter.
It is true that most of the patented
pavemcnts are of doubtful value, at the
price asked for them, but the law which
would not permit the commission 10 con-
tract for the construction and maintenance
of highway for more than one year, is on
the wrong track.
Why not get pavement that the con
tractor will guarantee to wear ten years or
keep il in repair for that length of time as
part of his contract! If contractor has II
paving that is worth the name he ought 10
be willing to guarantee it for that length OF
time. The first five years there ought to be
no maintaincncc required ON hard surface
road to speak Of and il dctcrioratcs to n
marked degree in the second five year peri
cd, it is not the kind Of paving To put in III
the first place
The big paving contractors need no mh'
10 hold n brief for them They look out for
their own interests pretty well. but that Is
no reason for absolutely outlawng thcm in
the state, as would one of the measures pro
hibiting the commission from contracting
for "A patented paving.
What Oregon wants is roads, the best
that can be had for the money the taxpayers
have to invest, The legislature will do wei
10 quit playing politics with the frea k bills
and let the commission stay on the job. ii
las apparently done fairly we'll so far Thru
it's engineers il can determine what kind OF
road to build in any given sections and

chcaply as possible or else II should be
