BAD FOR POLITICIANS.Kansas Kail roads Agree to Cat OS

Officials' Passes.Topkka, Kan., Nov. 25. The poli-

ticians do not like the new agreementof the railroads of the State barringthe issuance of passes to State officialswho are entitled to mileage or travel-ing expenses, because it will cut offthe opportunity to get about over theState at no expense. To a politicianwho is in the habit of "fixing" con-ventions this is a valuable privilege.

The railroad companies have longbeen desirous of getting rid of theevil, but have hesitated to act untilGovernor Morrill and Auditor of StateCole led off by refusing tp approve ofthe practice of charging railroad fareswheu passes have been used. While itmay not rid the railroads of the passevil entirely, it opens the way andgeneral solicitors may now exercisetheir discretion in the distribution offavors without fear of a political boy-cott.

A prominent State otlicial said thatif the railroads would adhere to thenew rule in good faith it would reducethe number of applicants for execu-tive appointments in the State.

Without a railroad pass as a sourceof revenue," he said, "few men couldafford to accept appointments whichlimited the pay to S3 per dayfor a few days every month.These places have been soughtbecause the railroad pass is both anopportunity and ah invitation totravel ostensibly on business for thestate so as to run up a large mileagebill. In this way places intended bylaw to be nominal in pay have beenmade to be worth SI, 00 to 82,000 ayear and men of no experience or fit-ness have crowded themselves intoimportant positions simply becausethey had done party service."

HELPING IRRIGATION.

AN IMPORTANT DECISION ISHANDED DOWN.

The Irrigation Law Declared Constitu-tional hy the State Supreme CourtPrivate Property May be Taken for thePurpose of Constructing; Canals AnEnthusiast on the Subject.

The Irrigation Case.Lincoln, Nov. 20. The supreme court

has handed down the most importantdecison in any of the irrigation casesbefore that body. The verdict of thelower court in the case of the board ofof Alfalfa Irrigation district, appellees,against M. S. Collins et al, appellants,was atlirmed. The decision is by Jus-tice Post. A portion of the syllabusholds:

"The act approved March 20, 1895,known as the district irrigation law,provides that when bonds are author-ized by a vote of any irrigation districtapplication may be made to the districtcourt of the county in which such dis-trict or part thereof is situated for anorder confirming and approving thesame. At the time set for hearing, anaafter notice by publication to all con-cerned, any person interested in saiddistrict may appear and resist such ap-plication, and the court may examineinto and determine all questions per-taining to the organization of the dis-trict, as well as the regularity of thevoting and issuing of such bonds. Held:Not to contemplate the taking of prop-erty without due process of law, bymeans of taxation, within the prohibi-tion of the state or federal constitu-tion. Irrigation districts organizedunder our laws are public rather thanmunicipal corporations, and their off-icers are public agents of the state. Thedistrict irrigation law does not conflictwith the constitution by authorizingthe taking of property for private useonly. The district irrigation law is notunconstitutional on the ground thatthe power thereby conferred upon dis-tricts to levy taxes is without limita-tion."

This case has been watched withgreat interest by all the prominent ex-

ploiters of irrigation works in the state.Secretary Akers of the State Board ofIrrigation and Matt Daugherty, in par-ticular, are greatly elated over the de-cision. It was feared that recent Cali-fornia decisions, which, in many res-pects, are exactly opposite to this, es-pecially so that of Judge Ross, mightbe followed as authority, to the greatdetriment of the irrigation interests ofNebraska. Five states are now in re-gard to the fundamental principlesenunciated in this opinion, California,Washington, Colorado, Nevada andNebraska.

Matt Daugherty arrived in town to-day in anticipation of the decision. Heis very much elated, as he is promi-nently identified with the Alfalfa com-pany. He said: "This decision is oneof the most important ever handeddown by the supreme court. Thereare a great many people in the easternportion of the state who do not fullyappreciate its full significance. ltmeans immediate work for a largenumber of men at a time when there isnothing else to work at, and when theyneed it.. Between now and the timewhen the earth is too solidly frozen forprofitable labor a great deal can beaccomplished. I shall put quite anumber at woik at once. Others willdo the same in Keith county and otherparts of the northwest.

There is another thing about arti-ficial irrigation which has not been ob-served by everybody. The more irri-gation the more rainfall. If you no-ticed the fact during the past seasonthose portions of Nebraska where irri-gation is most forwarded received thegreatest percentage of precipitation.The eastern and southeastern portionsof the state received less rainfall thisseason than the northwestern portion.I have also noticed a peculiarity in thewatersheds of Nebraska. Streams andlakes will go down, some of them godry entirely, then without a drop ofrain they will again fill and swell totheir normal condition. It is alsoknown that water can be taken fromstreams and without any effort to de-flect the water in the irrigation ditchback to the streams it will find its ownway, so that no perceptible deficiencywill be noticed in the streams belowthe point from which the water wastaken. Nebraska is the grandest statefor irrigation purposes in the union."
