venture he may wish to make to
stock his farm with machinery or
with milk cows or blooded hogs or
to raise clover seed or any of those
money-making crops that plucky men
have made little fortunes out of or

There's a Way to Do
In order to get people to do their
best and to do all they are capable
of doing, they must have the full
opportunity for the use of their tai
ents and they must have the benefits
OF what they achieve. II they make
loss, the loss must be theirs and
not be borne by the government or
the association or the colony. All
those socialistic and communistic
schemes are a failure or a near fail
ure and blight. The people that
succeed are those that assume re-
sponsibility and 60 ahead with faith
in the future and expecting to do
their part. II people would sue
coed in business they must leave
politics and religion where they be-
long and not take them into bust
ness. They must learn how to do
their work in the best way and keep
doing it. A farmer cannot have
a dozen different stondords 10
doing things and have general
success on that plan. There is
only one best way, and that should
be the standard. All the irrigation
projects in the west that are sue
ceeding are doing it by standard

The Paternal Policy

The original purpose of the irri-
cation congress was to protect the
forests and store the floods" but the
reclamation department was induced
to go farther than that and pump
water for the settlers where they
could not do it by individual effort,
and the plan was carried into effect
on the Minidoka project. The gov
eminent took the position of father
to all of them. 1t undertook the
main job of getting the water out
on the land for them, and they as
sumed the burden Of repaying it in
the distant future. The government
held title to their lands as security
for the obligation, and this made
the settler mere ward of the gov
eminent like the Indian.
Whenever you announce policy
Of paternalism for the operations of
a locality; when you announce the
government or any other power is
going to be father to the settlers
on project, you Immediately attract
the attention Of people who require
fatherly protection; you attract men
and women who are not Independent
and self-confident. And when the
Minidoka plan was announced, it at
tracted the socialists and a lot of re-
lated lists and isms whose ideas run
counter to ideas of independence and
self-reliance. When the Twin Falls
plan was announced, it attracted
people of independence and self-re-
lance who were willing to stand on
their own resources and stand or

fall on their merits. For years the
Minidoka project was facing failure,
and at one time the government quite
fully decided to quit and give up
the undertaking. The reclamation
department reached the conclusion
that it was mistaken and ruinous
policy to help people in larger under
takings involving terms of credit
that were SO long that it appealed
to people who think that perhaps
the day of settlement will never come
that the world may come to an
end or the millennium will be reached
and they enter into the undertaking
without any determination that they
are going to really have to meet
their part of the obligation. The Ar
row Rock dam and the projects un-
der it furnished considerable proof
of this, for there has been litigation
to straighten out matters where the
settlers tried to repudiate obliga-
lions. The Minidoka project passed
thru the measles and whooping
cough stage and large percentage
of the original settlers left their
claims and others of more pluck and
independence came in and took hold
and brought it thru to success. For
years the settlers have been under
the handicap of not owning the prop
erty they operate. The title rests
with the government, and while the
man on the Twin Falls tract holds
title and borrows money on it and
pays interest and makes good on
his undertakings, the man on the
Minidoka tract sits still under the
blfghting effect of paternalism and
inability to borrower loan or strike !

to take their places there can be nc
real success and permanent prog
ress. Conditions must be made so
that the individual farmer makes
money and keeps on making money,
No Religious Differences
The settlers on the Twin, Falls
tract had no religious differences to
create turmoil. They did not take
political differences into business
and crop-making and let it embar-
rass business matters. They came
there to invest their money in good
faith to make homes and to make
profitable employment at those
homes, and they held true to their
purpose that brought them there.
They sought out the best way to do
a thing and they did it that way.
When they had invested a certain
amount Of money and a certain
amount of labor worth given
measure in money, that was what
the land represented as an invest
ment, and since they had come there
to make money and not to lose it,
they kept advancing the price of
lands according to what there was
invested in it, and then it adjusted
itself also ON what income 1t would
yield in crop returns.

1t was this very quality of life
outside his own mind which made his

Of their voices" He even visited, after
the publication Of "vanity Fair" the
hotel in Brussels where Becky had
STOPPED. He never grew tired of most
of these people who were born out of
his imagination. The one who bored
him was Esmond, and he lived in the
only novel Of Thackeray's which was
completely planned.
ParadOxically enough, while his
people thus lived outside of himself,
settings and episodes throughout his
