Did you ever stop to think that if

Kelley says that his army will COM
bine with Coxey's if it reaches Wash
ington in time, il not, they will 90
alone. The substance ofthe memoir
ial they are having prepared to pre-
sent to congress is as follows:
1--WE will ask that the commission
already in existence to look after the
redeeming Of desert lands in the west
be instructed to proceed with the
work. We will ask that the men in
the army and the great army of the
unemployed which we represent be
put 10 work on this irrigation. Ny
idea is that by the time the arid
wastes have been wrested from the
sage brush and jack rabbit and have
: begun to bloom, the men who have
worked there will have saved money
to carry them through their first year
OF farming. They can settle on the
lands they have claimed, and within
short period will have developed
from homeless wanderers into steady
farmers and property holders.
