In the light of such facts and with
our experience in the arid west with
certain irrigation corporations is it
any wonder that the people OF the
west are rapidly coming to the Amer.
lean Agriculturists position-that
our irrigation system should be in
the hands Of the people who use the
water. Even the combined influence
of irrigation corporations was not
sufficient to prevent the fourth an
nual irrigation congress, recently
held at albuquerque, from declaring
that ''works Of irrigation, whether
built by private enterprise, by com
munity effort or by states, should be
supervised by some public authority,
either state or national, to the end
that only works of a proper engi-
neering character shall be construct
cd and that life and property shall be
conserved" But if public supervis-
ion Of methods Of construction is
necessary, how much more important
that the capitalization and charges of
water be regulated by the people.
Water is the very life blood of this
arid region; all the people depend
upon it, and therefore the whole peo-
pie should own and operate the main
arteries of an irrigation system, just
as in this and other countries NUM-
cipal waterworks are socialistic en-
terprises.
The tremendous revolt of the south
against extortionate freight charges
Is indicative of the growing strength
of the opinion that the railways should
be under state or federal control.
But while there are two good sides
to that more complicated problem,
there is no question as to the desir-
ability of popular ownership of irri-
CATION canals throughout the arid
west. The profits of agriculture in
the future cannot stand the charges
for water that have been exacted in
the past to pay fancy dividends TO
canal companies. Water must be
supplied to the people at cost, by the
people and for the people.

The State Bankers Association al
Greensboro, Kentucky, put out its
declaration, and see how sweetly
harmonious the two mugs of it are.
In this declaration it lays down,
among others, these two propositions
That the profits of banking come from
che prosperity and not from the depres.
sion OF the business interests of the ccun.
tryi that every department of industry
looks TO the banks for assistance.
Who would have thought they
would have joined two antagonistic
declarations right together like that?
We submit that If the business inter
csts are prosperous, they need no as
sistance from the banks. If they
need assistance from the banks, il
can only be because they are depress-
ed and need propping up. Just
enough depression to require a little
help is good for banking interests,
but too much-enough to make bust
ness go to smash--rebound on the
banks and hurts.

LAW CREATED THE EVIL.

The evils that stalk through all
grades of life and commerce in this
land today are many. Their pres
ence is revealed in million grumb-
lings coming from all branches of
trade and industry, The cause of
the disease is "Debt. In many
cases it has been courted by the in
dlvldual, but in the majority it has
been unavoidable To cure the ills
we must attack the fostering root.
To do this we must repeal the infa-
nous financial laws that created, fos-
teres and increases the debt Debt
is creature of law Where there is
no law there is no debt The Baby
lonian government was destroyed by
debt; Greece persisted in debt; Rome
went down under debt which she
could not pay; debt was the cause Of
the French revolution; every acre of
land under the dominion of Great
Britain is mortgaged; every acre of
land and city lot in the United States
is mortgaged. All Christendom is
under legal debt, and there is no
law providing for the payment of this
legalized robbery. Debt is burden
upon labor Debt takes the farmers
corn, wheat and stock before he has
produced them Today laborer's
wages are taken for interest, rent and
taxes before he has completed his
days work. The merchants labor is
all taken by transportation compa-
MES, rent and interest. The farms
are mortgaged; the productions of
the farm must be taken to pay the
interest on the debt. The merchants
store and goods are mortgaged; the
profit taken from the consumer is to
pay the interest on the debt. The
railroads are mortgaged; the profits
taken for transportation are used to
pay the interest on the debt. Debt
is the cause of many hundreds of
thousands Of people being out of en-
ployment and compelled to tramp in
the United States today. We are
debt morgaged and bond cursed ma
ton. Labor has borne this burden
the chains are becoming more CALLING;
The means of the miserable, made so
BY oppression, are heard all over the
land. AS the debt increases labor
demands freedom in sterner tones.
When the farmers are free from debt
md school, county, railroad, state and
national bonded debts are paid, then
,he labor problem will be solved, for
,he burden of labor will then be lift
I'd, and he who tolls when then have

PROSPEROUS MEXICO.
What Silver Has Done for Our Neares,
Neighbor.

What Silver Has Done for Our Nearest
Neighbour.
Mexico has prospered, relatively
more under silver money than this
country has under gold monometal-
lism. There have been no hard times
in Mexico, no bank failures, no army
of tramps parading the country, and
the Mexican can buy as much as ever
with his dollar, and gets as much for
his product, while the American has
had his prices cut down one-half, and
now he has to labor twice as hard tc
make the same amount of money. He
has to give twice as much of his labor
to pay his debts as the Mexican. and
while the Mexicans who want work
are all working, there are millions OF
idle hands in this republic. Mexico
has progressed the last two wears: this
country has refrigerated. We do not
say that this country is not far ahead
OF Mexico, nor are we comparing the
two countries except to say that rela-
lively one has gone forward while the
other has gone backward, and thai
what has proven so beneficial to Mex.
leo ought to be even more beneficial
for the United States
The Mexicans use the product of
their own mines for money; they req
ulate their own currency; they are not
dictated to by either Lombard street
or the Rothschilds; the business Of
their country does not depend on the
good will of two or three foreigners To
avoid panic, and they are not selling
bonds at discount to enrich foreign
bankers and spectators. Their policy
is dictated by themselves, ours comes
ready prepared for us over the water

every farmer, every laborcr and waco.

vantage to do SO. They can force the
gold reserve down; they can export the
precious metal and cause a panic
again as they did in 1898, and the re-
suit would be as disastrous.
In Mexico none of these conditions
prevail. Noue of those things can
happen. If we have bimetallism in
the United States, this republic will
be as independent as Mexico is. No
clique of bankers can rule 10. DOC. 900 of
