The trial by jury proviso appears to be the red flag that has
er.:aged the President. But this, too, is one of the civil rights of
ail Americans. It :s as basic, assuredly, as the right to vote—
and far more vital to the life or death of the citizen.

The bus.r.e.t.-. of irrigation • one that could take up an awful
lot of d. u-vion, v/ithout exhausting the subject. Not so much
couid be said about exhausting the water supply, with irrigation.
The south p.a.n.i countie.- have profited immeasurably by being
able to water their crops during such periods as the recent seven-
years drouth. But the water level is gradually being lowered,
with consequent lowering of the pumps. It would be hard to
think of the plains without irrigation: but as time goes on, the
supply will become less, and the cost greater. This problem is
not confined entirely to tne plains country. In fact, all over the
western half of the state, we aie told that water is being taken
out of the ground faster than it is replenished. And as to the
plains supply, geologists tell us that the replacement is insignifi-
cant.
Favorable sites for the storage of water are becoming scarc-
The President is grossly mistaken in his belief that ali
Americans share his "utmost concern" over the placing of a jury
trial "between a federal judge and his legal orders." Most
Americans do not see a judge in the same role as a military
commander.
It is precisely this right of trial by a jury of one's peers that
has distinguished the administration of justice .r, our country
fiom every despotism in the world. It has been fought ana bled
for ever -ince the barons met King John at Runnvmede.
So far from weakening the prestige of the federal courts, as
the Pre .dent fears, this ancient safeguard i= imperative if judges
are to be saved from becoming tyrants. It will strengthen—not
weaken, a.- he suggests—our whole judicial system.
