S. Bureau of Reclamation with the most serious challenge that has yet arisen against the controversial 160 acre law." This 1926 law provides that irrigation water from government dams may be supplied to no more than 160 acres of land under single ownership, unless there Is a recordable contract providing for the sale of land over the limit. Purpose of this law was to promote the growth of family-size- d farms. Instead of big land holdings. The owners of more than 160 acres have therefore fought the law all over the West The law does not say anyone cannot own more than 160 acres. It merely says he cant have government irrigation water on more than 160 acres. Thoguh this law was passed by a Republican Congress in the Coolidge administration. It is now more often identified as a Democratic device. This is because the F. D. Roosevelt and Harry Truman administrations have used it more than their predecessors. The law is even a major issue. In the 17 western states, in the present presidential election campaign. Republican and Democratic platforms state conflicting views on U. S. water policy. A NOTE ON OUR hook saying that duck season opens 17, deer season runs from Oct. 20 to 30, and pheasant season , in November. THERE IS October Is early Then theres another tem declaring that hunting should be and c in be one of the best forms of family recreation. Thats what weve always believed. Its pleasant to take the boys I this fall, therell be a daughter, but well have to carry her shes very tiny as yet) and Leah out Into the stubble fields, march around the bend, dash back to the folks for a bowl of chile at noontim hunting pheasants. One of the finest forms of family recreation! 160-ac- re The Item from Better Homes and Gardens magazine says: It Is autumn again, the best hunting season of the year, and youll want your family and yourself to learn to hunt the right way. The rudiments of hunting ducks, squirrels, rabbits, geese, fox, quail, grouse and pheasants are hereby described. Ray Nelson Hunting Is no longer merely a sport far men, (Even though some men contend they dont want women tagging along when we go hunting. Its a mans sport, and I want it to stay that way.") Fewer husbands leave duck widows behind them when the mallard flight comes down from the north. Each season, more and more women and sons and daughters are joining their husbands and fathers on the annual hunting trips. Then a postscript: "Hunting has another advantage for the family d nimrods. game menus will make a tasty addition to your fall menus." I WASHINGTON COLUMN Tangy-flavore- FIRST FOOTBALL GAME at the college this fall comes Saturday afternoon. Forgive our enthusiasm, but were hankering to see the 1952 Aggie gridders in action. Fine opponent this week, too Wyoming Cowboys. e of Pacific tussle We didnt get a chance to watch the last week In Ogden, but the Cowpoke fracas should be even more Interesting since this Is a conference game, and the Cowboys are considered the "fellows at the top." Kickoff time Is 1:30 p. m. Saturday, and therell be the incomparable color of a college football game on a fine autumn afternoon, with the spirit and vigor and refreshing atmosphere such occasions present! Speaking of sports, the World Series we .also have with us. Since the Brooklyn Lodgers are considered the nnderdog in this playoff, we were happy to see them win yesterday. In this great America of ours, were always willing to recognise excellence and superiority. But we also have a soft spot in Our hearts for the "little guy," and were happy for ,h!m when he hits the mark. ARE TOC REGISTERED TO VOTE? Most folks, when they meet this i Ouestion with their eyes, automatically shift them to another part of the reading matter. But, as a current observer points out, Americans are going to trial before the entire world on November 4, to answer serious charges of being greedy, weak, stupid, selfish and apathetic. t These charges may not be true, says a current writer, but the citizens of some foreign nations believe that they are. If the American citizen does not show up at the polls In November, he will be considered guilty. What difference does it make whether or not the American citizen Is found guilty of not going to the polls In November? The difference Is that a sentenoe of guilty could mean a death sentence for the United States. When the polls close in the United States, counting will begin from Montevideo to Moscow. The people who are counting the votes in the capitals throughout the world will not worry too much about how many people voted Democratic or Republican. What will be Important ,to those counting the votes Is how many people voted. The number of persons who took the trouble to vote can do more "to halt or give impetus to aggression than the number of A bomba we possess, or the size of our army, ltd not through the strength or size of an army that a countrys real strength is measured. The true strength of a country is measured by the amount of political apathy shown by its citizens. of the eligible voters In the United States Approximately one-ha- lf voted fi,1948. To m potential aggressor, these statistic mean that half - the people in this country have lost Interest in its leaders and its Institutions. A would be dictator may believe that citizens of a de- mocracy are tired of the responsibilities that democracy requires from Its citizens and that they would welcome a strong leader who would , tell them what to do. Who would believe that 40 million people too apathetic to defend hkthelr liberties with a vote would do so with a gun? You can stay away from the polls in November If you wish, but dont later that you didnt vote. For by not voting, you will haVe voted fsay allow others to choose who will decide how your tax money will "'be spent and your future.

NIELSEN all Ivanhoe Is a relatively small Irrigation district of about 11,000 acres. Several years ago this district made a contract with the U. S. Bureau of Reclamation for the supply of Central Valley water. This contract contained the usual stipulation limiting the supply of irrigation water to 160 acres of land per owner. McCracken, owning only 30 acres more than this limit, filed suit to upset the law limitation when the contract was brought before the court for 160-ac- re Actually the case has by James H.
