The fight between the COW butter and
bull butter people has been transfer
red to the senate now. Senator
Proctor of the committee on agrIcul-
ture, presented a majority report in
favor of the house oleomargarine bill,
while Heitfeld turned in a minority re-
port against it. The latter wants mare
stringent restrictions on retail dealers.
but proposes to remove the provision
making a distinction between coiored
and uncolored margarine in taxing.
Heitfeld, Money and Bate, who consti-
tute the minority, say that the whole
object of the house bill is to prevent
competition between two home indus
tries by building up the one and de-
taxing power of the government IS an
abuse which should not be encour-
aged or tolerated, even for a moment.
The bill is class legislation of the most
dangerous character" Oleo is quite as
legitimate food as butter and should
not be suppressed when sold under its
true character, nor arbitrarily legis-
lated against merely to please the but
ter producers. Men justly object to
paying butter prices for oleo or get
ting oleo when they ask for butter,
but they ought to be able to get oleo
when they want oleo. The only chem
ical difference between the two foods
is that the butter contains two or
three per cent of peculiar fat call
ed "butyrin." Otherwise the two are
identical. The only way a chemist can
tell the difference between the natural
and bogus butter is by hunting for the
butyrin. Nobody else can tell it. a we'll
known expert says he used to hang
around the internal revenue bureau
several years ago and see the samples
the inspectors in the field sent in. 1t
was seldom they guessed right, unless
they had tip in some way. Between
well made articles, there was no tan
gible difference in smell, taste, feel, or
anything else.

Irrigation in Congress

If the leading minds OF the country
were asked to seriously discuss the
topic: What is the greatest question
in the United States awaiting solu-
tion?" it is probable that very few
men living east of the Mississippi
would think of national irrigation"
in this connection. To most of such
the subject is new and unstudied. 1t
will bear study; it will bear the most
searching scrutiny, AID the more stud
led the more it is seen to be question
of exceptional breadth and of truly
great possibilities and far-reaching i'm
portance to the nation.
The query that many English people
are now making is: What is this irri-
CATION problem before congress? Is it
a legitimate one for the government
will be a benefit to the. country? Along
what lines is it drawn? In short, is
it a question of really national import?
Its western advocates, regardless OF
political affiliations, claim that 1t is
the most important national question
today. Eastern legislators, regardless
of party. are inclined to smile broadly
at this assertion.
Home Building.
If the internal history of the Amer
lean republic is studied carefully, how
ever. the conclusion will be reached
that national irrigation. properly
wrought out, is likely to shortly come
to the front as one of the most I'M
poitant national questions of the day
1t embodies, in it's truest sense, he
question of home building, and the
American people have been, up to the
present time, essentially nation OF
home builders. In no country in the

and live in homes has led thousands OF
Americans to endure trials and hard
ships, and brave dangers almost be

wish of the American people has con- |

An Arid Land Reclamation Fund.
The advocates of the national irriga-
ton policy urge that the government
should, where possible, build storage
reservoirs to catch the flood waters of
the western streams and thus provide
for the reclamation of these lands.
The Newlands bill. now before tine
house irrigation committee and it's
counterpart. the Hansbrough bill. on
the senate side. provide for the setting
aside of the proceeds from the sale of
public lands in the arid states and ter
ritorieS as an "arid land reclamation
fund.- to be used for building such
reservoirs and that the cost of such
construction shall be put upon the land
reclaimed by them, and the land then
offered for sale by the government in
small tracts, to bona fide settlers. up
on easy terms.
Popular Legislation.
Who will come to the support of such
policy?
More people and a greater diversity
of interests than supported the home
stead act, and such legislation would
be even more popular than the free
home enactments. What other prcpo-
sition is before the country upon which
labor and capital can better unite and
which they can support. hand in hand.
without clash or jealousy? Every labor
union in the United States which has
ly supported it; every combination of
capital, of whatever sort. which has
considered it. has given it unqualified
endorsement.
Western Homes; Eastern Markets.
The opening of the vast area of west
ern lands by irrigation would provide
cheap homes, certain of returning the
owners a comfortable livelihood. Il
would create a valuable and growing
market for every kind and descrip-
ton of manufactured product and
would thus be favored by all classes
of manufacturing and commercial in
terests in the country. 1t would in
sure cheaper living in the west which
would result in the opening of num-
berless mining properties whose grade
Of ore is not sufficiently high to war
rant development under present wage
1t would create a demand
for transportation which would bring
to it's support every railroad interest.
Can any proposition ever before the
American people claim the support of
greater diversity of interests than the
irrigation and reclamation OF the vast |
and waste areas of arid land under an |
honest policy, which would insure their |
settlement in small tracts by genuine
home builders?

Some hundred prominent daily east
ern newspapers recently have editor
tally expressed views favorable to a
system of national irrigation. 1t
would seem that the east is well in line
in wishing the development and recla-
nation of the great area west of the
hundredth meridian, and that it is re-
allied that such a development would
benefit the entire country and to be a
national benefit, adding to the general
wealth and power of the nation. While
the east is thus willing to assist and
cooperate, it expects, of course, that
the west will make its own fight. Ev-
cry local western organization of what
ever characters-chambe of COM
merce, boards of trade, commercial
clubs, business observation-disclosures

At the war department they are dis
cussing a new bullet invented abroad.
1t is the same dimensions and length
as the ordinary small calibre bullet,
like that used by the Mauser or the
Krag, but differs in having a star
shaped cross section. That is, it is
like the ordinary bullet with number
of deep burrows or grooves running
down the sides. The idea is that with
a bullet of given length, less metal is
employed and the grooves of the gun
are not SO badly used up in firing, less
metal traversing them. But as such
bullet could not be fired alone. it is
provided with a little steel shield be-
hind it which is supposed to dror to
the ground after emerging from the
muZZle. Probably it won't though,
says an army man, but will continue
on. becoming an Independent projectile
Thereby the new bullet would become
barred by the laws of war which. in
forbidding the use of explosive pro-
jectiles from small arms, have been
construed to forbid any projectile
which forms more than one missile.
