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,

A DANflFROUS unnecessary nuisance, needing con
f-trol, are the glaring electric lights on automobiles.
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.

It is high time the city council passed an ordinance reg

owners should be compelled to tilt Ihcir.laiups so the light

use of dimmers should be compulsory. While the citv can

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.

Is a regular reglstered-accordlns-to-law,

Miss Clary's philosophy runs like
this: .
"A girl Has lo give and take in
this business. She mustn't be too
squeamish or fussy. It's Borter like
manicuring y'know. A girl In : the

tlou, nnd literally placed upon his!
head the crown of supreme authority.
lAnd W. .1. ltrynn has charged that
Hughes presented this crown to the
I chief justice and urged him to w ear
it.
j In the Commoner on October 12,
1911, ltryau asserted:
"In Its 1 908 plutrorm the Republi
can party promised to amend the
Sherman anti-trust law. 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. .!

with .1. P. Morgan in trust control,

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.
