doned the fundamental principles of
American liberty, and has striven to give
the lie to the contention OF our fore
fathers that all men are created equal,
that government rests for Its sanction
upon the consent of the governed, and
that representation and taxation are in

! Water Storage-We believe that water
storage for arid lands should be recog-
niZed by the general government as a
part of its internal improvement system,
| and that liberal appropriations should be
made for that purpose, and we call at
tention to the specific declartiOn in this

an intelligent system of improving the
arid lands of the West, storing the waters
for the purposes of irrigation, and tho
holding of such lands tor actual settlers.
We believe that the development of the
Republic within the arid regions, by a
proper system of internal improvement,
will build up an empire based on equal
citizenship, far surprising the power and
glory of any empire based on the acqui.
sition Of distant countries and the sub
