THE IRRIGATION BILL,

The subcommittee of western men,
bers, appointed to draft bill for the
purpose of reclaiming arid lands has
agreed upon the outlines of measure
which will be submitted to the repre-
sentatives of the arid states.
The bill prepared by the committee
provides for the creation of an arid
land reclaiming fund from the sales
Of public lands and authorizes an ex-
animation and survey of the sites for
reservoirs recommended by the sec
retary of the interior, and the letting
of contracts for the construction of
the necessary works. Lands brought
within the radius of this reclamation
work are to be subject to homestead
entry in eighty acre tracts and the
settler Is to reclaim the land for
which he is to pay the government IS
per acre. The government is to con-
struct. operate and maintain the water
works and to distribute the water un-
der the laws of the various states. The
necessary regulations concerning the
sales Of land and the use of water are
to be made by the secretary OF the in
terror.
The bill also restricts the number of
acres of land that can be taken by
any one individual to eighty acres.
This amount is far too small even un-
der the most favorable conditions for
the remaining arid lands. The price
for irrigated lands, those actually re-
deemed, is not unreasonable, and
should be within the means of most
settlers.
So far as can be learned no request
has been made for an appropriation
to inaugurate the work. A good
round sum will be required and west
ern representatives should not be
modest about the asking. Possibly
this is to come in another bill to be
presented later. The application oI
the money derived from the sale OF
public lands would be a mere baga
telle for the beginning OF the work
as this sum is estimated at about 81,
900, 900 year 1t would prove great
aid after the work is under way, es
pecially in comparatively small pro
jects. There are some large enter
prises under consideration that would
require immense capital but wher
completed would reclaim thousands
of acres of lands. II they cannot b'
undertaken in the near future for the
lack of funds it will prove great dis

SHOULD TAKE A BROAD VIEW

The Minneapolis Journals Wash

other eastern members of congress
would oppose measures designed to
promote irrigation, that paper calls
attention to the broad views enter
tanned by Daniel Webster and which
he so ably expounded in his celebrat.
ed reply to Hayne, when the latter
had asked: What interest has
South Carolina in canal in Ohio?"
Mr.. Webster. i'm his reply, said:
Sir, we narrow-minded people of
New England do not reason thus. Our
notion of things is entirely different.
We look upon the states not as sep.
arated but as united. In what
ever is within the proper sphere of
the constitutional power of this gov
crnment we look upon the states as
one. We do not impose geograpu.
cal limits TO our patriotic feeling or
regard; we do not follow rivers and
mountains, and lines of latitude to
find boundaries beyond which public
improvements do not benefit us. .

Carolina should not be willing to

The Journal hopes that no eastern
congressman will paraphrase Haynes
query and ask: What interest has
my state in an irrigation ditch in Col
orado?"

Following the assassination of
President Mckinley the ARGUS sug-
gested that some island of the sea
would be good place for anarchists
Senator Hoar in his able address last
weef on the problem of dealing with
the reds, after reviewing other pro-
posed solutions. reached the conclu,
sion that the best plan lay through an
international agreement, by which an
island would be picked out, remote
from civilization to be policed by
the great powers, and to be inhabited
by men and women who do not be-
lieve in government or social order
and who advocate assassination as
one means OF overthrowing them
This would certainly give them an op-
portunity to put their theories into
practice. If they want chaos they
could have ii in large chunks and no
one would be injured thereby but
some of their own kidney. A brew
cry would furnish them all the liquid
refreshments they need. AS they
have a mad dogs dread OF water
having no use for it internally or ex
ternally. their wants could be easily
supplied. The penal colony scheme
seems to be good one. though il is
held by some that whatever is done

likely to effect seriously the standing

there are breakers ahead of the
