FAVORS IRRIGATION.
Water Must Be Brought Within
Reach by Government.

Water Must Be Brought Within
Reach by Government.
The reclamation of the unsettled
arid public lands presents a different
problem. Here it is not enough to
object of the government is to dis
pose of the land to settlers who will
build homes upon it. To accomplish
this object water must be brought
within their reach
The pioneer settlers on the arid
public domain chose their homes
along streams from which they could
themselves divert the water to reclaim
their holdings. Such opportunities
are practically gone. There remain,
however, vast areas of public land
which can be made available for
homestead settlement, but only by
reservoirs and mainline canals i'm
practicable for private enterprise.
These irrigation works should be
built by the national government.
The lands reclaimed by them should
actual settlers, and the cost of con-
struction should so far as possible be
repaid by the land reclaimed The
distribution of the water, the division
of the streams among irrigators,
sh ould be left to the settlers them
selves in conformity with state laws
and without interference with those
laws or with vested rights. The pol
icy of the national government should
be to aid irrigation in tee several
states and territories in such manner
as will enable the people in the local
communities to help themselves, and
as will stimulate needed reforms in
the state laws and regulations govern
ing irrigation.
RECLAMATION OF ARID LANDS.
The reclamation and settlement of
the arid lands will enrich every por-
ton of our country, just as the set
tlement of the Ohio and Mississippi
valleys brought prosperity to the At
lantic states. The increased demand
for manufactured articles Will stimu-
late industrial production, while
wider home markets and the trade of
Asia will consume the larger food
supplies and effectually prevent west
ern compe tition with eastern agricul-
ture. Indeed, the products of irri
CATION will be consumed chiefly in
upbuilding local centers of mining
and other industries, which would
otherwise not come into existence at
at all. Our people as a whole will
profit, for successful home-making is
but another name for the upbuilding
of the nation.
The necessary foundation has al
ready been laid for the inauguration
of the policy juet described Tt
