THE MILD.EYED U

Judging from a bulletin just issued
by the Idaho Reclamation Association,
which states II has made a careful
survey of the situation. we should take
off our hats to the Idaho Potato. II
has taken the lead in putting Idaho
on It's financial feet, according TO this
statement, which gives the total
mount that will be derived by Idaho
pototo producers this year at $5,500,-
900, on the conservative basis of $3.50
per hundred to the grower.
With this start, the procession OF
money coming into the state during
the year viii permit OF n general IL
~quidation that will revive every indus
try and every business In this state
and start Idaho again permanently to-
ward the goal every citizen desires
his state to reach in the shortest pos
sible time.
This initial money results from fav-
orable market conditions plus freight
reductions, and also from efforts o.
such men as II. M. Adams, Vice Presi
dent o the Union Pacific In charge o.
traffic, in extending markets and open
ing up new markets for Il produc'
through his wonderful organization.
lin this connection, II is interesting
to note from the bulletin of the Idah,
Reclamation Association that st is no
only interested I'm land reclamation
but is to aid those who reclaim de
serts TO also reclaim dollars"
This means that this needful asso
citation is extending It's activities alon

LIQUIDATION
COMING.

Power County's two million bushel
wheat Yield will bring the liquidation
of indebtedness to a greater extent
than has been known In years, In
this particular section of Idaho. Even
at seventy-five cents a bushel, THIS
can close TO a million dollars.
What is true of Power County is
true of the entire state of Idaho. Her
wheat yield is expected TO top the
twenty five million mark by several
thousand bushels, a Yield that is two
million bushels In excess or any crop
she has ever raised.
There will be lots of money In the
country this fall. Much of II Will be
absorbed, II Is true, early In the sea,
son, but the actual buying power oil
the public will be greater than II mas
been for several lean months.
Just where the surplus money VII

lesson of the last few years has beer
learned, little of II will go for expen'
sive automobiles or sight seeing tours

LABOR DAY SEPTEMBER
FIFTH.

1t is fitting and proper that Ameri-
can Falls stores close Labor Day,
September fifth. American Labor pos
sesses a dignity that is not held In
common with the labor Of other ma
lions. The day has frequently been
the occasion of disorder. when radi-
cal p~lunderers have taken advantage
OF a nations honor, to inflict terrible
outrages on innocent parties. But
theremust be exceptions to all good
occasions. II is not strange that In
the great melting pot OF u nation,
there should be those elements that
can not be alleged with true Ameri-
canism.
The Press calls attention to the flag
stories and illustrations carried in this
weeks issue, depicting the correct way
TO honor the flag Of the worlds great
est free country. Too often Is the
courtesy and honor due Old Glory
neglected through lack OF understand
ing and ignorance. Read the fiat
stories and be sure that you are one
who will never disrespect the Flae
either in ignorance or neglect.

Some Land Oscners Clair,,
Rights TO Air Aboue

There are those who stoutly maintain that
the aviator is a trespasser They contend
that he has no legal right to the air. that it
belongs to the persons who own the subjacent
land. Fortunately, this extreme theory is
rarely entertained
The theory of the freedom of the air is
neither novel nor modern. It's legal aspects
have long been the subject of controversy by
foreign writers. Neither is it theory of
purely local interest. 1t involves national
sovereignty; it is an international problem
German dirigible flying over French terri
tory even in pre-war days would arouse in
slant protest from the French government
The French could justly insist that the Ger
man ship had no right to navigate over French
territory, and the German government might
reasonably accept this Interpretation of state
sovereignty. The question never has been
definitely decided; in fact, the issues involved
are to-day more complex than ever. The doc
trine of Innocent Passage and it's inter
probation as universal right, directly con-
filcts with the recognized theory of state
sovereignty. Can a state regulate all aerial
traffic over its domain and will all aircraft,
regardless Of nationality, altitude or nature
OF traffic, be subject to the laws of the sub
]acent state? The answer is of international
Importance. For example, shall Germany be
permitted to regulate the aerial commerce
which will undoubtedly develop between France
and Poland? And how can the several inland
states extend their aerial foreign commerce
in the face of national sovereignty of the air?
The citizens of all nations have certain funda-
mental rights, OF which is the right to
peaceful commerce, and to deprive the citi-
zens Of one nation of the right to carry on
peaceful aerial commerce with another nation
is equivalent to denying them certain por-
tion of common freedom,
The international aspect of aerial navigation
however much it may concern US, his little
bearing on the domestic problems which at
present confront The aviator wishes to
know just what he may and may not do The
public wishes to know its rights
What are the landowners rights as against
the aviator and vice versa? In civil flying will
the ancient principles of the common. law be
used to define the rights of the landowner?
An old maxim CT our law states that sland
hath in its legal Specification an indefinite
extent upward as well as downward" The

the farmer who owned it was awarded dam
ages
In the summer of 1919 large dirigihle
was operated by a rubber company %
medium of advertising. This dirigible in
passing over Chicago caught fire and, falling
from great height, crashed into the roof
of bank building, killing twelve persons and
wrecklng the top story of the building. The
rubber company, recognizing the liability it
had incurred, settled the matter out of court
by paying compensation to the families of the
dead and injured and damages for the partial
destruction of the property
In France, long before the war. balloon
named LIE Touriste descended into a little
street near the Bastile. On landing an ex-
plosion occurred, resulting in the death Of
one man and injuries to several others. The
court held the pilot responsible and awarded
damages to the injured. Another case, which
occurred in Belgium, demonstrates the great
liability of the aviator. A Belgian aeronaut,
seeing that his balloon was becoming de-
fated alghted in the street of town lust
where citizen was lighting a cigarette.
Other men, thinking to be Of service, caught
the drag ropes and hauled down the balloon
The lighted match and escaping gas produced
an explosion that killed several men, The
aeronaut was held responsible on the theory
that he had created source Of danger. This
opinion is still held by legal authorities
Aerial traffic, with its lack Of precedents,
creates new field of Jurisprudence. One
might predict ultimate third branch of law
aerial law. Due to dearth of aerial cases
the few which do arise are treated with great
leniency in this country. A case occurred re-
Gently in North Dakota. An exhibition flyer
was descending from fight. The town had
apparently furnished landing field for his
use, and the local authorities had agreed to
keep the field clear of persons. Just as the
machine touched the ground horse and
buggy crossed directly in its path. The aero
plane smashed into the buggy, killing its three
occupants The pilot escaped injury, but the
wife of prominent judge and his two chill
dren were killed. The pilot could not have
averted the accident; he already had lost "fy-
ing speed" and was upon the buggy almost
before he saw it. In this case proceedings
were not brought against the aviator, nor
against the owner of the aeroplane The
fault obviously lay with the town officials,
who had failed to keep the field cleared
New-York tribune., 1921-11-27

before our courts, and the few decisions rem
dered are based upon the ancient theories of
ground traffic rather than upon the modern
conception cf the air and aerial navigation
Present-day aerial traffic hardly justifes
the elaborate regulations drawn up by an
enterprising Florida town. This municipal
ity included, among it's aerial ordinances pro-
visions for the strict regulation of aircraft
carrying from one to 1000 passengers and
travelling from five to 800 miles an hour What
is needed at present is set of statutes that
defines the rights of both the public and the
flyer, in plant form that can be amended
and filled in required Aeronautics is still
an infant industry No one can predict the
outcome; its possibilities are as great as the
heavens it traverses. It's progress will be
constant and rapid and the laws regulating
it should not be narrow

killing his boy passenger The same pilot
has several crashes to his credit On another
occasion his machine frightened the horses
Of a school rig filled with children causing a
runaway which resulted in the death of two
OF the children. 1t would be the eravest in
justice to the pilot to attempt to judge him
without complete data on the case-an inves-
tigation very likely would absolve him from
negligence or guilt-bat one fact is obvious
that he.was permitted to continue flying with
out any effort the part Of officials to make
technical examination of the pilot, determin-
ing his fitness, physically and mechanically,
to engage in commercial flying. The pilot con-
tinued to carry passengers even after the
crash in which the boy was killed. The author
Of this article, happening to fly in that state
last summer, rather surprised that the
nan should be permitted to carry passengers
without such investigation 1t would be but
justice to the public to the pilot and to the
progress of aviation in general
An aeroplane flying from New York tc Min
nesota last spring developed motor trouble
and the pilot forced to descend into a
pasture The people of the neighborhood
hockcd out to see the sight, trampling down
some of the farmers grass. Before the av-
ator could continue his flight he was forced
to pay damages for the trampled pasture.
This case involves another problenl-the prob
lem of the aviator and the landowner The
aviator looks down at the country stretched
out beneath him. The question of landing
often troubles him. Indeed, he sometimes won
ders whether he actually has the right to
make a landing at will, or whether he has
the right to fly over cities, and if SO at what
height, or whether he even has right to the
air. The landowner, on the other hand, ques-
tions the right of flyers to pass over his prop
erty, frightening his livestock and disturbing
his peace. a case arose in France in which
a farmer sued the government for disturbing
his peace and lessening the value of his farm.
Government aircraft arose directly over his
farm as they started on their flights, passing
close to his livestock and creating general
havoc according co his testimony. Damages
were not awarded the farmer in this instance.
the authorities promising to issue orders in
structing pilots to reach reasonable height
before passing over private property.
New-York tribune., 1921-11-27
Only T.Do States Haue
Aerial Traffic Rules

Air traffic presents new problem both to
the pilot of aircraft and to the landowner.
The man on the ground has rights which cam
not be interfered with. He has a right to
peace and life, but aeroplane flying close
to the ground may endanger his life and de-
stroy his peace. The man in the air has his
rights. The nature and extent of these aerial
rights have not as yet been fully determined.
Other countries, in fact all the European coun-
tries and Canada, have drawn up laws and
regulations governing the air. Our country,
with the exception of two states, has failed
to enact legislation covering aerial traffic,
with the result that the aviator relies upon
his own Judgment and the landowner prays
that this judgment be rational An aero
plane leaves the ground in this country with
nothing to guide or restrict its pilot, and
lands in Canada where the proper authorities
Immediately request flying credentials Few
cases involving serial traffic have come up
New-York tribune., 1921-11-27
Placing Responsibility
For Accidents

The utmost attention must be given to aero
dromes and to the regulation of flying fields
if accidents are to be avoided. An aeroplane,
the average one, descends and lands at the
speed of some forty-fve miles an hour Pco-.
pie forget this fact-if they have ever known
New-York tribune., 1921-11-27
"No Trespassing" Placards
May Come In Time

At present the aeroplane still remains some
what of a curiosity in rural districts. Avia-
tion still retains some of it's original glamor
and the farmer still manages to feel compl-
mented when aviator alights on his field
Help is freely given to the flyer and unless
damage has been done he is sent off on his
aerial way with the best of wishes. The nov
city will wear off in time and the question
of landing on private property will receive
more business like attention. There will be
the question of pay for damages Modern
opinion appears to sanction descent on pri-
vatc ground only in case Of forced landing.
Since there is no adequate protection for
the ground-dweller from aircraft, the land
owner cannot be expected to suffer damages
without full compensation. In case of an air
accident, the ground-dweler has no means of
protecting himself. His property is at the
mercy of falling aircraft. For that reason
it is only fair that damages be paid for
all injuries and destruction of property by
aircraft Full compensation for all loss ac-
tually suffered is now recognized throughout
Europe An interesting decision was recently
made in England. An aeroplane descended
into field where cow happened to be graz
ing. The cow, evidently aroused by the tres
pass, rushed at the moving aeroplane and was
killed. The aviator certainly was not to
blame He had chosen a large field and had
landed a good distance from the cow, but the
indignant animal had rushed straight into his
path. Despite the aggressiveness Of the cows
