 That. whereas the lands lying within the Salt River valley, in Maricopa county, Arizona, are susceptible of cul- tivation only through irrigation, which irrigation is obtained by diverting the waters of the Salt and Verde rivers, and whereas the flow of these rivers is fitful, at times being more than is needed fer irrigation, and at other times totally inadequate to supply the

nds subject to entry. Of this vast tract only 1O,0OO,OOO acres will produce crops without irrigation, showing the wide extent of the arid districts.
 MT. Mondell points out that with such a wide domain, no agency other than the government can deal ade- quately with the problem of irrigation. He also shows that irrigation long ago passed the experimental state and that it's great advantages have been estab- lished in this country and abroad. The bill, he says, professes no taxation to carry out the irrigation project, the entire expense being derived from the sale of public lands in states to be irrigated.

the special rep;os antative If his fellow
American citizens of all parties. A
quarter of a century ago, there had
been no development of industries such
as to make it a matter of the least i'm
portance whether the nation of the State
took charge OF the great corporations
and supervised the great business and
industrial organizations.
Some of the ultra conservative friends
have professed to be greatly shocked at
my advocating governmental control or
corporations. l would explain TO those
gentlemen once for sll that they err
whenever they think that I advocate on
the stump anything L will not try to put
into effect after election Now the point
is made that working alCne these lines
will take time. SO it will. The first
thing is to give the National Govern
ment the power. What power is given,
/ can assure you, will be used in a spirit
as free as possible from fancor. but with
the firmest determination to make big
men<anl little men alike obey the law.
The first thing would be to find out the
facts For that purpose I am absolutely
clear that We need publicity, not as a
favor from any one corporation, but as
a matter of right. The mere fact of the
publicity itself will tend to stop many
of the evils, and it will show that some
of the alleged evils are imaginary. And,
finally, in making evident the remain
ing faults, those that are not imaginary,
and are not cured by the light OF day
itself it will give us an intelligent
proposition as to the methods to take in
getting at them" (Applause).
At the conclusion of the speech the
party re-entered the train of carriages
and were driven over a route of the
principal thoroughfares of the city. The
decorations were of an elaborate and
festive order. All along the route vast
crowds cheered the President to the
echo. The party was driven to the
Southern portion of the city, where the
Baltimore and Ohio special train was
boarded and the trip to the South con-
tinued.
