"The appellants further contend thai
the failure of the trial court to order
the exclusion of their lands from the
district or in the alternative to re-
strain the district from levying any
assessments against their lands fol
bond purposes violates their constitu-
tional rights-impairs their contract
rights and deprives them of their pro-
perty without due process of law.
Appellants contract rights were
rendered of little or no value by the
insolvency of the obligors and their
abandonment of the project 1t is the
purpose of the district to restore those
rights. Unless such plan Ito increase
the amount of water, to provide means
of delivery and to reduce the cost of
same) as proposed by the district is
effected the present inadequate water
rights of the appellants will be worth
less. The purchase by the district of
the power and irrigation instrument
talities is not an interference with ap-
pellants' contract rights. True, the wa
ter right of each appellant is vested
right in real property. However, there
is no showing that the district has
any intention of interfering with the
vested rights of the appellants in the
constitutional sense. Appellants lands
are not being added to the district.
Those lands were included within the
boundaries of the district when the
boundaries were fixed by the county
commissioners. The order of the county
board including such lands was exam
ined by the superior court which en-
tered decree approving and confirm
ing the same. Later the district board
adopted a plan Ca matter within the
discretion of the board) of develop
ment. Appellants objection now to
that plan of development is an insult
flcient ground for the exclusion of
the lands of the appellants, as those
lands are irrigable and have only a
partial water right. To hold other
wise would be to permit collateral
attack of the decree of the superior
court adjudging appellants lands to be
legally within the district"
The concluding paragraph in the
opinion reads:
ITO discuss the other assignments
of error, which we have considered
and found are without substantial mer-
it, would unnecessarily extend this al
ready lengthy opinion. We have eX-
amined all of the authorities cited
They are either in harmony with the
views herein expressed or are dis
from the cases at bar.

Supreme Court Decision
Is Sweeping in Effect

before the district board. The board
having exercised it's discretion and
fraud or arbitrary action not being
established by the record the courts
cannot interfere even though they
may be convinced that the wrong re-
suit was reached
"A landowner is not entitled to eX-
clusion of his land from an irrigation
district for the sole reason that such
land has an individual water right.
Such tract of land would be benefited
from the ability of the irrigation dis
trict to furnish water in times of emer-
gency to supply better or cheaper SER
vice and to furnish electric energy
or domestic water. In nearly every in
stance the lands of the appellants
were using or had need of water from
the canal which the district proposes
to acquire. The district officers are re-
quired by the statute to give to the
lands with a water right equitable
credit on the assessment roll.
"That the district board observed the
rules of law applicable to the exclusion
of lands from irrigation districts plain
ly appears from the following review
of the individual petitions of the APP
pellants for exclusion"
AS to whether the district board
acted fairly in determining which lands
should and which should not be eX-
cluded, the Court says:
appellants next contend that the
district board in passing on petitions
for exclusion denied appellants petit
lions, but excluded other petitioners
lands which were similar to lands of
the appellants The record, which we
have carefully examined, does not sus-
tain this claim of arbitrary and dis
criminatory action on the part of the
district board.
appellants insist that the assess
ments against their lands should be
enjoined. Appellants argue:
..... the court should enjoin
the irrigation district and it's officers
and directors, respondents herein, from
levying, collecting, making or charging
any assessment against appellants
land (other than water maintenance
charges pursuant to their water right
deeds) and particularly for the pay
ment of the purchase price of said
power and irrigation system or for the
payment of the purchase price of SAID
power and irrigation system or for the
payment of principal or interest of said
proposed bond issue. Appellants have
already purchased and fully paid for
their water rights. Their water rights
are not merely contractual, but as adj
Indicated by one of the highest federal
courts of the land, constitute an actual
present and perpetual trust, an equit-
able estate, property right and owner
ship in the power and irrigation sys-
tenn itself. To levy assessments against
appellants lands for this purpose OBJ
yiously is nothing more nor less than

to require them to pay second time
for the purchase of the water rights
which they already own and have all
ready fully paid for
"The Hartford Irrigation & Power
Company, owner of the power and irri-
cation instrumentalities and also owner
of the lands to be irrigated, sold lands
to the appellants with the agreement
to perpetually supply to those lands at
water for irrigation purposes upon GER
tain conditions to be performed by the
land purchasers. Subsequent to the
appointment of a receiver for the sue
cessors in interest of the appellants
grantor the Federal court held that
the right of receiving the water was
appurtenant to the lands sold to ap-
pellants; that the covenant to fur
nish water in the amount specified
was burden in perpetuity upon the
instrumentalities devoted to that pur-
pose, and created an equitable estate
in those instrumentalities for the bene-
fit of the water right landowners as
defined by the terms of such land
owners deeds of purchase. That is, the
water right landowners do not own the
power and irrigation instrumentalities
but have an undivided interest in the
instrumentalities to the extent required
to supply to appellants lands water in
amount and season reasonably neces-
Sary, but limited by their deeds of
purchase"
AS to the contention of the appel
lants that they will lose their water
rights if the district acquires the irri-
cation properties the Supreme court
says:
"The district is not seeking to disturb
vested rights of the appellants 1t is
the purpose of the district to acquire
property upon which appellants vested
rights depend in order to preserve
those vested rights. To the appellants
owners of vested rights will be given,
as the statute requires, equitable credit
on the assessment roll when assess
ments are levied.
I'm purchasing at receivers sale the
power and irrigation instrumentalities
the district was not attempting to ac-
quire the appellants interest therein.
1t was the purpose of the district to
acquire the title interest in the instru
menalities to which the right of the
water right landowners was an Incl
dent. The appellants can not irrigate
their land from their water right alone.
1t is essential that the instrumental
tiles be acquired by the district or
some other organization to afford ia
cilities for delivery to the water right
landowners additional water which is
necessary to the successful cultivation
of their lands. The insolvent owners
title to the power and irrigation in
strumentalities was surrendered to the
Federal court. There we're certain ex-
penses incident to the care and protec-
ton Of the instrumentalities during the
period of the receivership. During the
irrigation season the receiver supplied
the appellant water right landowners
three times the amount of water spe-
Gifted in the deeds Of such landowners.

ON ROOSEVELT
Response to Kansas Speech
Cheers Democrats.
By United Press

By United Press
ABOARD ROOSEVELT SPECIAL,
EN- ROUTE DENVER, Colo, Sept.
15.-Spurred on by the assurances
of Democratic leaders that he would
sweep the grain belt in November,
Governor Franklin D. Roosevelt
headed for the Rocky mountain
country today, intent on lining up
Colorado for the Democratic ticket.
Roosevelt, his advisers said. was
amazed by the Spontaneity of the
reception accorded him in Repub-
lican Kansas, where he offered a
six-point plan of farm relief and
arraigned the administration for
what he termed its Starvation"
policy toward the agrarians.
The Governor planned a series of
brief back platform talks in small
Kansas communities on the route to
Denver. In Denver the special will
lay over for the night. Roosevelt
will meet Colorado party leaders and
also will discuss economic prob
lens with groups expected to call
upon him.
The Topeka speech was the first
OF four major ones Roosevelt will
deliver on his tour. Utilities and
their regulation will be taken up in
his Salt Lake City address, it is
believed.

state funds to finance informers in
the Indiana coal strike and paid for
a civilian guard at the non-union
HooSier mine.
This is disclosed in the record of
his emergency fund expenditures,

Vouchers also show that while
miners families faced starvation,
aviators sent to police the area
were eating 81 meals and national
guard troops at Shakamak park
were served ice cream.
