The January debt statement is
a remarkable exhibit of the nation
al finances. Nearly SIG, 600, 900
of the public debt was cancelled
during the month and over $1,000
900 more paid on pensions ac-
count than during the c~orrespon-
ing month last year, yet the SUI
plus in the treasury increased S13,-
900, 900, aggregating $40, $50, 545.
A significant feature Of the report
is the marked increase in receipts
from all sources. Customs reve-
nue. shows an advance Of $780,
900 over January of last year, thus
refuting the claim that in proper
ton to the advance Of duties the
revenue declines. The total in
crease from all sources in seven
months was $27, $780, 90, and the
expenditures for the same period
was $234,474,420. In other words
it costs an average of $46, 1927
per hour or S775.37 per minute to
keep the machinery Of the govern
ment fabricated.
The McCook tribune. (McCook, Neb.) 1886-1936, 1891-02-06

The irrigation movement is a
thrifty affair. The convention OF
the past week at McCook was a
revelation of the extent and earn
estness of the demand for this re-
form in agricultural methods in
the western part of the state. The
coming convention at Sidney will
still further emphasize the de-
mand, and when the grand culmi-
nation is reached, in the shape of
a mass convention at Lincoln, the
Legislature will be forcibly remind
ed that the people mean business.
The first requirement is the en-
actment of benefcent laws. When
these are secured there is more
reason to hope that private capital
will come forward to seek invest
ment in the enterprise. That has
been its history in other states

IRRIGATION IN NEBRASKA.

The practical results of the Nc
Cook convention were OF the
most important nature. II
constituted the formal Inaugural.
ton Of a campaign destined to be
crowned with a victory speedy and
complete. AS such it will be q
bright page in the history Of Neb.
The resolutions which have been
printed in full in the Bee, repre-
sent the programme of the move
ment. The western part of the
state is solid for a state irrigation
engineer, for the division of the
state into water districts, and the
preparation of a complete system
Of maps, showing the water sheds
and the nature of the. streams.
When these laws have been secur-
ed the movement must undertake
to interest capital in these enter
prises, and thus realize the fruits
Of the agitation.
The appointment Of Messrs. LIE
Hew, Meeker and Morse as a COM
mittee to represent the southwest
ern part Of the state, in conjunc-
ton with a like committee to be
appointed at Sidney, secures a
high order of ability for a service
which will aim at the drafting Of a
bill which, it is hoped, will be a
model for other states to pattern
after.
Thousands Of people who have
now a lively concern in the pro-
gross of the movement will await
the results Of the big convention
at Sidney next Saturday with a
keen interest.
