Unable to Agree on Canal Legislation
Programme.

members Of the senate caucussed Mon
day from 1920 until o'clock, but

Roosevelt and Irrigation.

One of the most radical changes in
public sentiment that has occurred
since Theodore Roosevelt became a
factor in shaping national policies
was the reversal of opinion in the
East upon the question of national
aid to irrigation. The farmers of
the East we're firm in their stand
against such policy, basing their
opposition upon the plausible theory
that they should not be required to
assist IN paying for the development
of the farming area of the West and
thereby destroy the market for their
own products or at least reduce the
value of them. They were support
ed in this view by their Congress-
men until the West secured the as
sistance of Mr. Roosevelt. From
the moment that he gave the policy
his personal and official support,
sentiment began to change, until to
day little or no objection to the pres
ent policy of national assistance is
heard. Three years ago it was diff
licult to get men of prominence in
national affairs to attend the Annual
Irrigation Congress, while now cabi-
