SOUTH LENDS A HAND.
CO-0perates With the West to Secure lrriga-
ton SURVEYS.

The gauging of streams of the
South Atlantic and other Southern
States by the government may not
seem a matter OF very great i'm
portancc or interest to the people of
the arid region of the West, never
thelessit is likely to be a means of
helping us materially. For years
has had to make it's fight for irriga-
ton surveys alone, with but little
assistance from Senators or Cong
rcssmen east of the humid line; it
was a matter in which they had lit
tie interest, though some OF them
might recognize the justice Of such
appropriations. But during recent
years the people of the South, where
manufacturing enterprises have
been springing up like mushrooms
in the night, have come to realiza-
ton of the importance and necessity
of the work of the Geological Sur
vey, especially in its measurements
and gauging of streams available
for power to be used in manufac-
turing plants.
And so now, when the question
arose the other day of allowing an
increased appropriation to the Geo
logical Survey for irrigation survey
ing and investigation in the semi
arid and arid West and for stream
gauging in all the States, those who
always take occasion to oppose such
appropriations, suddenly found lined
up against them Southern Senator's
who expressed their determination
to cooperate with Western repre-
sensations in behalf of this needed
Government work. The vigorous
words of Senator Butler of North
Carolina in the United States Seuate
in favor OF this appropriation show
that the manufacturing sections of
the South highly appreciate the
value of this work and that hence
forth they will sympathetically join
hands with the arid region to pro-
cure necessary national legislation
along these lines.

A FIELD party from the Division
of Forestry is about to start for
southern California to make a de-
tailed investigation of the soil
cover of the watershed at the
headwaters of the Mohave River.
A preliminary investigation of this
watershed was made in October,
1899, when it was ascertained that
comprehensive data regarding
precipitation, run off, wind velo-
city of several years, has been re-
corded. 1t was further ascertained
that the, watershed in question in
cluded secondary drainage basins
representing different types of
soil cover, varying from dense
forest to open chaparral.
Conditions appear to be particu-
larly favorable toward undertaking
the solution of the important prob
lem of the relation of soil cover
to the run off of streams. The
party now going into the field is
to investigate the soil cover, in
Guiding forest and chaparral
growth on all parts of the water
shed. The data regarding soil
cover obtained for each of the
secondary drainage basins will
later be compared with the data
available regarding rainfall and
run off from the same basins.
1t is thought that the investi-
CATION will result in the possibility
of arriving at a scientific con
clusion regarding the relation OF
soil cover to- run off.

CONSTITUTIONAL MONEY.

Section 10 of the Constitution of
the United States names gold and
silver in specific terms as the
money of the United States. That
section of the Constitution has
never been repealed. Gold is
alluded to by the enemies of silver
as sound money" safe" money
and "honest" money, the idea be-
ing conveyed that silver is some
thing different from this.
1t would seem that any money
recognized by the Constitution
can with propriety be regarded as
safe, sound and honest.

FUTURE OF THE TRUSTS.

The Cleveland Leader has the
following sensible article on the
future of the trusts, and to any
body who has given the matter a
careful thought its truthfulneSs
will be apparent: Men active in
the formation of trusts did not a
little "bluffing" when those great
combinations of capital were being
made, but it is the officers of those
would-be monopolies who are bluff
ing now in their efforts to bring
the trust balloons down to solid
earth without smashing everything
in them. The talk of confidence
in maintenance of prices of indus
tries which have witnessed the
most successful efforts to practice
the extortion for which the trusts
were formed is all empty sound. 1t
is intended to let down the market
easily, without too great shock
to the general business of the
country. The question is whether
any possible method of readjust-
ment can avoid serious wrenches
and some stunning falls.
Manifestly, the trusts cannot
make money enough to justify the
present quotations for their stocks
if they have to reduce the selling
price of their products very ma
terially. 1t is nearly as plain that
they must make such reductions or
suffer from a dry rot of slack de-
mand and congested markets which
also make dividends on some of
their securities impossible. There
fore, the country is vitality interest
ed in ascertaining whether the
trust stocks can be squeezed rea-
sonably dry of water without too
much affecting other values and
the general trade and industry of
the American people.
That is the most Immediately
interesting problem of the day in
business"

been a great passage.
Another paper has an account of a
