In the absence Of a constant and
reliable supply Of rainfall, Mon
tanans have resorted to making
their own rain with irrigation. It's
these irrigated plots that are turn
ing in the crop. Irrigation water
travels some 200 miles from It's
mountain source before it reaches
the outlying farms. 1t comes down
in open bitches in which the flow
is regulated with gates. Each farm
is hooked onto the main ditch with
his own ditch that branches off In

Around the field banks are employ

plot at a time is irrigated. The
water Is allowed to rise to depth

checked. All farms along the route
cannot be irrigated at once, so a
system Of schedules is arranged.
Mrs. Schwartz said that some
trouble is experienced with water
"poachers," but it Is not serious.
Mrs. Schwartz expects to remain
here about two weeks, she said.

AMERICAN BIOGRAPHY

After 10 years of labor, during which
time 2,243 persons contributed articles to
the work, the tenth and last volume of
the monumental Dictionary of American
Biography has been published. These
volumes have been produced at an ex-
pense of about $650,OOO, of which $500,
600 was subscribed by the late Adolph S.
Ochs, publisher of the New York Times.
The work comprises total of r.
685 pages, and in the first years of its com.
pllation the editor was DR.. Allen Johnson,
who died i'll 1881 and was succeeded by
DIR. Dumas Malone. There are 1858
biographies of persons "who have made
some original contribution to American
life
1t was originally intended to set g
limit of 10000 words to each biography,
and only five notables received more.
Washington leading with $500 words.
The other four who were given more than
10000 are Benjamin Franklin, Thomas
Jefferson, Abraham Lincoln and Woodrow
Wilson.
But if anyone ever expects to see his
name in that book. he will be disappoint,
ed, for it contains sketches only of per
sons who are already dead As the set
was printed one volume at time, taking
the names alphabetically, many eligible
persons now dead, did not get in, one such
being Calvin Coolidge Editor Johnson
however, died in time to get into the pro-
per volume.
1t is expected to issue a supplemental
volume every five or ten years in order to
bring the work as nearly up to date as pos
Sible at such intervals.

You and Your
Nations Affairs
Forced Contracts

By GUS W. DYER
of Economies Sociology, Vanderbilt University

Many question. have two sides.
Some questions have only one side TOT
loyal American citizens. There may
be two sides to the question with ref
erence to the desirability and feasi-
bility Of legitimate collective bargain
ing. But the only collective bargains
ing that is legitimate or permissible
under our Constitution is that into
which each side enters willingly and
free from any sort OF compulsion.
But in civilized society there can not
be two sides to the question OF
whether group Of men can combine
and by use of compulsion force
American citizens to enter into bar
gain with them.
The failure Of those in charge OF
the different units of our government
to uphold the law under the Consti-
tuition, and protect the Constitutional
rights Of business is chief cause OF
our serious industrial conflicts. These
officials are far more TO blame than
those who have Seen encouraged by
them to ignore and repudiate the
Constitutional rights Of others.
Before modern transportation and
veloped, knowledge Of general mar
ket values was very limited. Under
conditions of extreme isolation. OPP
portunities for Misrepresentation with
reference to general market prices
were great. ana INSCRIPTIONS people
often took advantage of these oppor-
tunities to buy commodities ard serv-
ices below market prices. This was the
day of ''higgling" IN the aarket. How
ever. neither force nor compulsion
was ever used in driving bargain.
No one had to bargain against his viii.
He was free to enter or stay out.
But conditions of isolation and ig-
norance of market value have passed
away. Today the market value Of
practically everything tbatis for sale
is easily known by anyone. Under
present conditions a bargain on the
open market is simply a contract
made on the basis of market values,
and these market values are deter
mined not by individuals nor groups.
but by natural laws. ~
The purpose of the spurious col
lective bargaining in vogue today is
not to obtain the market value for
services but to obtain more than the
market values for services. 1t is an at
tempt to accomplish by force that
which was accomplished through
fraud by INSCRIPTIONS traders in the
past. The ethical principle involved
is as bad in the one case as in the
other.

either side is not a collective bargain.
1t is not bargain of any sort. 1t is
hold up," and hence ha. no place in
a civilized government. Property or
other things of value taken from a
man against his will by any sort OF
force or compulsion is made felony
in all civilized countries.
The essential condition or any bar
gain or contract Of any type is that
everyone who enters into the contract
does so of his own free will. This
means that every citizen is free to &C.
cept or reject any bargain or con-
tract proposed to him. There is no
place for the use of force or eompul-
sion, directly or indirectly. in making
any contract or bargain. The proof of
the use Of force or compulsion to- in-
f1uence anyone to enter into con-
tract invalidates the contract in any
court.
The fact that government may
permit one party to bargain or con-
tract 10 use force or unw9rranted
compulSion to impel the other party
to come to terms, doesn't change the
heinouS nature of the act. 1t only re-
vealS misconception of its RESPONSE
bilities on the part Of the government.
Governments are instituted among
men," says Jefferson, ito secure
these rights"-''the inalienable rights
of freedom" Robbery is not wrong
because it is prohibited by law. 1t is
prohibited by law because ii is
wrong When a government gives its
approval to acts that are fundamen-
tally anti-social. it means that such a
government has substituted the ethics
of the jungle for the ethics of civiliza-
ton.

LAW ENFORCEMENT METHOD
CRITICIZED

Orderly law enforcement is matter
of course in any civilized community; and
any community departs from law order
and civilization when law is enforced by
surprise moves and without regard to the
most fundamental concepts of justice
Key West has just been treated to an
exhibition of official laundering that would
seem impossible in any community in this
year of 1887.
J "A snap notice was given that sundry
traffic rules would be enforced-rules
which have lain in allegiance so long that
no one remembers what they are-and be-
fore the notice was available to the public,
the police, acting on the Mayors orders
had begun to arrest citizens and visitors
alike; and given notice for appearance in
police court on Monday.
1t is true that notice of the intended
observance of the traffic rules was pub
lished in The Citizen, but it is also true
that the raid was begun before the notice
was published, and it was this blunder
which provoked the most resentment.
The Citizen realizes the necessity for
traffic rules, enforced without fear or
favor. But it maintains that when rules
long dormant, are about to be revived and
enforced, that the ordinary decencies of
law administration dictate the necessity
of giving fair warning of the revival of
the law-enforcing spirit.
Judging by the usual manner in which
our laws have been administered, this
sudden return to virtue has all the ear
marks of either unconsidered action on the
part of the authorities, or else a dire need
for petty cash to supplement falling off
in collections from other sources.
Whatever the cause, the effect is i'm
mediate and disastrous Not all of the
people overtaken by this surprise arrest
have to stay here. Among those caught in
the drag-net were visitors Of the class to
which Key West is convinced it must look
for regeneration financially. These peo-
pie are accustomed to courtesy and to the
consideration universally accorded those
who find themselves in new surroundings,
and they are under no compulson to sub
NIT to hick town imposition.
Several tons of promotional literature
can not undo the damage that will ensue
from this spectacular raid on law-abiding
citizens and recently arrived tourists.
One highly respected citizen, chip
ping in his dollar, added for good measure,
even a rattlesnake doesn't strike without
warning, and so afforded yardstick by
which we may measure the contempt into
which the administration of the law has
been plunged by an arbitrary and unfair
method
