X Vr llETJll'TJt this section of the valley secures a sugar VV factory depends upon the extension of irrigation and irrigation depends upon 1 lie attitude of the land owner. .Neither tho Ttah-Idaho Sugar company, nor any other sugar company will consider erecting a factory here with out the availahle beet acreage being placed under irriga tion. Jf they did, the plant woidd not pay. If we had irri gation, we would have sugar factories and other industries. ' The progress and material prosperity of the valley has been halted now for three years for lack of irrigation. There is no market for iinirrigatod property and what is more, there will be no market until water is placed on the land. I mil it is, the valley will mark time or go back wards. Jf an object lesson was necessary of the need and value of irrigation it is offered this year. Extensions of irri gation systems have added over half a million dollars value to the fruit crop. It has doubled and tripled alfalfa and other crops. It has made possible profitable crops of sugar beets, tomatoes and vegetables. At, a cost of some $20,000 or $30,000, the water of Bear Creek was made available for some 2000 acres of land south of Medford. In fruit alone, this paltry in vestment will yield half a million dollars or more. , There is no comparison between the condition of the ir rigated orchards and irrigated farms with the non-irrigated. The one is a business proposition the other is a gam ble dependent upon weather conditions. The practical successful farmer of today must and does eliminate the gamble, it :., Tho valley will "come back" just in proportion to the acreage covered by water. During the past, three years, the total cost of an irrigation system for the entire valley has been lost annually in dest royed "crops. Irrigation is the one great problem before this section, the one great, essential necessary to esahlish land values and industries dependent upon soil products. 1 lie sooner this is realized, the sooner prosperity will return and abide. .Farmers of the Talent district have made a good start by organizing an irrigation district. Farmers of the north end have water available but many not enterprising enough to realize its value hy using it. .Farmers ol the central poi Hon should follow Talent's example, organize a district and secure irrigation as soon as possible. ..Nothing is gained, but, must lost lv delav.

Though dimmers are provided on all modern cars, the thoughtless careless drivers seldom use them, prefering instead to light the pavement or highway lor hall a mile ahead and blind those they meet. As a result there have been not a few accidents and niaiiv an auto has been forced into the ditch for safety, the blinded driver unable to guide his car. These glaring headlights not only temporarily blind those persons in whose eyes they shine but injure their eve- sight and cause many a. headache. Their uncontrolled use has destroyed the pleasure of riding along the paved nigiiway ai nigin, aim maue.ir exceedingly dangerous. The danger of these lights is universally recognized. They are forbidden in all cities in the country and in many states, where stringent regulations compel tlie reflectors to be turned down on the road in front, so that the center of the glare strikes the road less than a hundred feet ahead of the car ample to light the driver. New York, California and other states compel this tilting of the lamps. c i t ...... . . . , -., ., ... , no mic meat ainoisis are noi comcnr Willi Hie hliudmi; glare of the headlights, and have added a third searchlight to make sure ol bunding drivers and pedestrians they meet all unnecessary on the well traveled roads of the valley and paved streets of the city.

I what is univcrs; illv recognized as a dangerous nuisance, Hughes Believes in "Rule of Reason" and Supreme Court Ascendance Over Congress Hy ltjL-.il M. Manly. Xi.tiMl I'jitiiomic nnd Political KKii. This Is the third In Mnnly's series of articles, breaking the silence of si lent Hughes. In these articles, Manly, by quoting verbatnm from speeches and supreme court decisions of Hughes, lays bare the actuating piir.ciplcs by which tho mind of C'has. i:. Hughes operates. Kdltor. Charles K. Hughes believes In the cMiltailon of the judicial over the legislative branch of government; in lav. milking by court decision; and in tlie "rule of reason" by which the supreme court decided a monopoly Is nil right, if it doesn't go too fur! (The court to decide what is "too far. ) Tliis Is shown by the fact that Hughes, as Justice, concurred in the Standard Oil and American Tobacco decisions, against the protest of Jus tice llurlaii. These two great corporations, con victed by the courts, were dismissed witli compleie tmiiiiiuily; Hie su premo court deliberately reversed the position It had maintained for I'O years by declaring that only "on. n .isoimble" reMraints of trade were Illegal.

During the campnign of 1 90S (iov. Hughes, of New York, inlerp.ettd that promise to nipiin that the Rule of Human Reason' niiisi he accepted. "Later Taft appointed tiov. Hughes as well ar. other u.en of his mold of thought to the t'nlted States supreme bench. .! "tieorge W. Perkins, associated with .1. P. Morgan in trust control, delivered a speech recently In which he complained that republican con gressmen had not tried to redeem their plat form promise, but that it had been redeemed Hy the supreme court In the recent trust decision. Bell-ans Absolutely Removes Indigestion: Oncpackagc proves it. 25c at all druggists. wherein Gov. Hughes' 'rule of reason' was applied. "Here we have it. Gov. Hughes was put forward to represent tho republican party; ho ass.ired the trusts that 'the rule of reason' for which they bad been waiting more than 10 years would be adopted. 'Congress refused to keep the prom ise, so Gov. Hughes was put on the supreme bench and helped to amend the law in accordance with the re publican promise, and now President Taft, In whose Interest the promise was made and who appointed Gov. Hughes, says that the anti-trust law as amended by the court, must not be disturbed." , The record seems to show that Hughes' attitude toward the trusts is more lenient than that of Taft. As a Judge, Taft had declared il legal many contracts under the Sher mun act, chief among tlieni being the Addyston pipe case, refusing uni formly to consider the question of reasonableness, which tlie corpora tions wore urging as their defense. And as president, in bis message of .Ian. 7, 1910, Taft said: "It has been proposed, however, that the word 'reasonable' be made a part of the statute, and then that It should be left to the court to say what is a reasonable restraint of trade, what is a reasonable suppres sion of competition, what is a reason able monopoly. I venture to think that this Is to give the courts a power approaching tho arbitrary, the abuse of which might involve our whole judicial system In disaster." Only four months after this state ment, Taft, knowing Hughes' Ideas favoring the "rule of reason," know ing the Standard Oil and American Tobacco cases were the most im portant then before the supreme court, knowing also that Chief Jus tice Whit;, for 20 years had been de termined to read the word "reason ahl' into the Sherman act, appointed Hughes. In tho case of Thompson vs. Thompson, in October, 1910, Hughes had concurred in Harlan's dissenting opinion, in which the following un equivocal statement occurred: "Their duty (the courts') is only to declare what the law Is, not what in their judgment, It ought to be. 'Now there is not here, as I think, any room whatever for mere construction, so explicit are tho words of congress. The judgment, Just rendered will have, as I think, the effect to defeat the clearly expressed will of the legisla ture hy a construction of its words that cannot he reconciled with their ordinary meaning.'1 And yet In less than six months, Hughes was a party in the Standard Oil case, to what Judge Harlan In his dissent called "the perversion of the plain words of an act hi order to de feat the will of congress." On the basis of his decisions in the great trust cases which we have reviewed, there is thus every indica tion that Hughes' mind differs little, If at all, from that of Taft, and that if a comparison must be made, on tlie question of the relation of the gov ernment and the trusts Hughes is more reactionary even than Taft.
