PLAN GIGANTIC
IRRIGATION SCHEME

In View.

,, resentatives of the Payette Heights,
Payette-Oregon Slope, Crystal and
Snake River improvement irrigation
districts in a conference here the
latter part of last week for the pur-
pose of considering a proposition to
furnish surplus water from the Crane
creek reservoir for irrigation of the
several districts mentioned.
The irrigation districts mentioned
all have to pump water from the
Snake river at the present time and
the cost has become terrible burden
to them. If they could get water by
gravitation at smaller cost it would
be boon to settlers on the projects
and tho question to be decided is
the plan of Mr.. Robertson
and his associates is feasible. En-
gineers, the Signal has been informed
have gone over the matter and say
it can be DONE 1t would involve
building a syphon across Snake river
and similar heavy expense in reach
ing Payette Heights. The districts,
it is understood, could finance the
at an expense of ap-
a half million dollars,
and if they show desire to negot:-
ate in the matter the engineers will
make sufficient surveys to enable
them to submit definite figures.
The whole plan, if it can be carried
out will be boon to Weiser and
there will be no doubt about the
moral support which will be given
the Southern Idaho Land & Power
Company in their efforts to put the
pig undertaking over-Weiser Sig
nal.

COOPERATION

Cooperation undoubtedly is the cnly

For the one who produces to get
more pay,
End give them full measure for their

Producing the things which come

Cooperation brings his produce to a
central point,

middleman,

Cooperation enables the producer to
lis produce quickly and profitably as

And puts on his face a perpetual
smile.
Cooperation for the dairymen is
the only plan,

And makes quality butter which finds
quick sale,
And floods his own country with
eager sought 'kale."

icism of shams and false alarms that rise in
political life, and had therefore accumulated an
active army of victims that had been stung by
his ~satirical pen
So George Harvey had been tried and Judged
before he crossed the ocean to represent this
country at the most important court of the world.
1t would have been unusual if what he has done
at the British court would appear right to his
critics. But why not look into the facts?
Ambassador Harvey has said certain blunt
things about American motives in the war. He
has stressed those of self-interest and self-pro-
Election. Perhaps he has oSerdone it at times.
But it ought not to be forgotten that other mo-
tiyes were greatly over-emphasized before he
eourageously redressed the balance. OF course,
Americans were actuated by many motives. 1t
can be no more doubted that some of us went
through the war in utter selflessness, with minds
fixed firmly on service for others, than it can
be questioned that others of us were impellcd
by the very oldfashioned instincts that for UNI
numbered ages have aroused men to fight for
their own.B But the notion that we were all ideal
istic crusaders, fighting as if in a dream for the
attainment of a dream world, was not true, and
the holding of that notion was not mentally
healthy. 1t had a prodigious vogue and its effects
were not wholesome. 1t was no small service that
Ambassador Harvey performed when he swung
far the other way and frankly told Englishmen
in England that We were fighting a defensive
war. That was true, even if he did press the
point so as to ~irritate our super altruists. If
Iverification is needed, it can be found in the
message OF Mr.. wilson TO the congress when he
asked for a declaration of a state of war, and
also in the declaration itself.
The outstanding achievement of his term of
office, howeved, was the refunding of the Brit
ish debt. This, of course, was not by any means
his exclusive work. But he figured largely in it,
and to him rightfully goes some part of the credit
for e~ffecting that noteworthy settlement which
has done so much to promote good feeling
amongst the men of influence in both Britain
and America and also to lift the fallen standard
of financial morality.
1t is doubtful if ever before in time of peace
the English speaking governments and leaders
of opinion have been in closer agreement than
they arc now. 1t is doubtful if ever before has
there been a deeper feeling of the Importance Of
close desperation amongst English speaking
Peoples. And after all is said, George Harvey has
Helped cultivate this agreement and this feeling
lie has done it in his own characteristic fashion
which some of his fellow countrymen dislike pro-
.foundly, nevertheless he has served his country
we'll.

Protect and Defend Them

Agitation for local or so-called "home rule
regulation of public utilities is but an attempt to
clear the ground for government ownership and
operation which would not stop with the util-
tiles.
Agitation for government ownership is part
and parcel of the agitation of the socialist and
communist, whose Ultimate obj ect is the destruc-
ton of private property in this country.
No useful purpose would be served by remov-
ing state or national regulation, but 4 higher
purpose would be served by reducing that reg
ulation to a minimum in controlling abuses like
ly to develop. Directing the conduct of business
simply throttles the life of the utility. The least
interference of government in lNsiness the better
for both business and government.
When the politician, meaning the government,
steps in to control the utilities his only idea
is to force results that will approve his stand
ing with those who vote. Service to the people
responsibility to the stockholders or owners, the
future of the plant, reasonable return, and other
questions of like character are cast aside for
the immediate present. No Politician, who seeks
control of utilities can lower rates unless rates
under private ownership are abnormally high.
And that charge is nowhere made in this day.
If rates are lowered it would be at the ex-
pense of owners of public utilities, which means
hundreds if not thousands of local citizens who
are the stockholders. That is the way the matter
stands throughout the country today.
No public utility concern can face the discour-
agements and threats of further interference by
government and survive and at the same time
expand the service which is constantly demanded
by most communities
The local control or so-called home rule is sim
ply to put all public utility questions into pol
itics. 1t is the assertion that a vast number of
people can decide technical questions more wise
bunal, which the utility board in this day and
age must be.

Foundation of National Character

Writing in the Current History Magazine
Arthur It. Hadley, President Emeritus of Yale
University awards credit to that portion of the
country west of the Allegheny mountains for de
termining American character and says:
at was west of the Allegheny mountains, in
the second generation of American citizens, that
democracy really started in its modern sense as
a system of social standards and had its normal
effects on human character and conduct. Here
probably for the first time in history, large com
monwealths were organized and complex bust
ness was built up by a body of workers who were
equal before the law and approximately equal
in social opportunities.
"The moral standards of these new common.
wealths were partly determined by the class of
settlers which they attracted and partly by the
economic conditions under which they were de
veloped. The west was a place for men who were
by temperament venturesome and ambitious
who loved liberty and were ready to devote them,
selves to the upbuilding of a country where they
could find it.
"The economic conditions by which the settlers
were surrounded tended to develop another set
of qualities. First among these should be placed
self-reliance. They had to learn to do all kinds
of things for themselves, instead of concentrat.
ing upon any one thing; TO govern themselves
and their families, without much aid from
church or school; to protect their lives and their
property against transgressors, without much
aid from sheriffs or police.
another quality which the economic condi.
tions of the community developed among the set
tiers was an eagerness for immediate and tang
ible results. The desire to make money, which is
strong in every nation, became overwhelmingly
strong when the man who made money won ap.
proval as a public benefactor and was generally
rewarded with social or political leadership.
Out of this compound of natural and acquired
traits-of love of liberty and dhe country that
gave it, of sporting blood, and enforced self.re.
lance, of large ambition and impatience for
tangible results-grew that western character
which furnished the groundwork of our Ameri.
can character and has been more Important than
constitutions or forms of government in making
the American nation what it is"
