Judge Truax Holds Big Issue Of
Bonds Legal
Legal Battle to be Carried to the SUI
preme Court for Final Adj
judicatiOn

Prosser, Aug. 2O-Victory for the
$1s,OOO,OOO Horse Heaven irrigation
district is the outcome of litigation
which brought some of the leading
attorneys Of Portland, Seattle, SpO-
kane and Yakima tc PrOsser for the
hearing before Judge Truax June 2,
1919, to determine whether the big
bond issue should be confirmed From
his home at RitzvilTe Judge Truax has
rendered a decree confirming the bond
issue in every particular.
Advocates Of the irrigation declare
that the decision Of Judge Truax
harked the beginning Of the end Of a
struggle that they have waged for
years and that it is but question Of
time until S15y 900 acres Of beautiful
level prairie on the arid plateau 1850
feet above Prosser viii be under ir-
rigation and wiil be producing crops.
For 20 years the KliclEitat irriga-
ton scheme, as it was generally
known, has been alternately prOnot-
ed and ridiculed as visionary. 1.

More than Assessed Yaluc
County

OO0Ikby
The Courier Reporter has nearly.
avery week lately printed authentic
accounts of local fruit crops at re-
cord breaking prices. Nearly every
Eastern Washington newspaper is
carrying similar news items.
The value of the apple crop Of
Yakima county this year will exceed
the total of that county's assessed
valuation and in number of instances
the returns from Benton county or
cbards are III excess of the price paid
for them, few months ago, by thous-
ai,ds Of dollars,
Here are few instances Of re-
corded transactions which will show
the marvellous incomes orchardists
viii have this year. They are not ex-
eeptional and will give some idea Of
the flood of money which will pour
into fruit growing communities in
Washington within the next few
months. All are clipped from the Yak

STANDS THE TEST
Referred Laws Win By Majoriitdie.
Ranging From 9, 900
X to $4,000.

) The farmers and 1aborers of North
Dakota stood by their guns last Thurs
day, and carried every one of the sew
en- laws enacted by the last legisla-
ture by majorities ranging from about
5000 forathe printing bill to about
1900 for the State Bank bill. The
vote was the largest ever cast In the
state. The Non-Partisan league poll
ed 1000 more votes for the League
laws than were received by Gov. Fra
zier last fall, but the opposition got
out a much larger vote than they did
last fall.
The election has been an object
lesson to the entire country, and
progressives everywhere will rejoice
that it has been demonstrated that
thoro economic reforms can be accom-
plished> thru the ballot, in spite of all
that intrenched privilege can do.
Thursdays election will put heart in
all who believe in real democracy.
The methods used in the attempt to
defeat the laws were a disgrace to
the perpetrators and to the press that
| upheld them. Valuable lessons were
| learned for future campaigners, for
special privilege cares nothing for
laws when they stand in it's way.
| One lesson is that stringent laws
must be devised for preventing mis-
representation Of issues as we'll as
men on the eve of election.
| One stunt tried last Thursday will
illustrate. In the last North Dakota
legislature an enemy of the League
introduced a dastardly 'sfree love-
bill, which was promptly consigned
to oblivion by the lawmakers, as they
thought. But just before the cleo
ton and on election day circulars
were distributed representing that
said bill was one of those to be voted
upon. In one county this scandalous
lie created intense excitement. Stor
les of coercion, intimidation, fake ap
plications of supposed laws by hostile
county officials, etc., came from all the
big centers of the state. Gov. Fraz
Ter has issued statement dealing
with this matter and demanding that
local officials uphold the election laws
and sanctity of the ballot.
When the referendum law was
first proposed special privilege and
their politicians fought it as dema
goguery and mob rule In NORTH
Dakota these interests were the flrs1
to invoke the referendum in the hope
of stampeding the voters. They fail
ed, and the referendum stands vindi
