Irrigation Investigations. S.

The members of the national house of representatives will make seriots mistake if they force the senate to cut down the appropriation of $75.00O for the | irrigation investigations which the de- 1 partment of agriculture is carrying on.
 They would recognize, if they under | stood the situation. that in doing this they will be doing the very thing they l do not want to do.
 | The eastern members of the house who oppose liberal appropriation for the investigations which the depart ment of agriculture is making do so be- cause they think the government is spending enough money on arid land reclamation. What they fail to recog- nize is that these Investigations have nothing to do with the reclamation schemes provided for by the act of con- grass.
 i The investigations in question are for the purpose of enabling people to make better use of the irrigation systems al- ready in existence. Show men how to irrigate, how to utilize to the best ad- vantage the water they now have, and | how to frame their laws so that there will be as little conflict between water, rights as possible. and the area already under irrigation-lying under ditch and reservoir systems already in existence and for which the federal governTnen1 has Fever paid Q cent-will support ten l times as many people as it now maIn- | tains.
 We wish the members of congress from states east of the Mississipn,
 would once get it into their heads that Irrigation in Colorado and other arid ! states is not new theme The boom
 CTS of national reclamatio are not the | discoverers of the fact that under frri- | gation the arid lands of the far west can be made fertile. The construction of ditches and reservoirs is an old thing i in this part of the union. The people of Colorado began it more than fort. i years ago. What this part of the arid region needs is farmers rather than | ditches and gigantic reservoirs The irrigation investigations are
 needed to enlighten persons engaged n
 irrigated agriculture. and the public in general concerning irrigat ton methods 1 the duty of water, and the laws govern 1 ing ditch management and water dis ! tribution. The reclamation fund pro- 1 vided for by the act of last June makes no provision for such Investigations
 and hence congress should make every
 year liberal appropriation with which
 to carry them on. If the people were only made to appreciate the possibilities
 Of existing irrigation systems, they
 would be less clamorous for additional
 reclamation work. And hence we say
 that in opposing the proposed appropri-
 alton. eastern members are doing the
 very thing they most desire to avoid. - l Denver Republican.

ply and demand. It is noteworthy that the bill is practically the same as that
 established by Japen. which reduced it's
 unit one-half, when the reconstruction
 of the monetary system of that empire was undertaken in 1896. and which has
 been successfully accomplished. The limitation of the new Philippine silver
 coinage will doubtless be as effective in enabling it's parity with gold, to be maintained as vas the case in Japan. The provision relating to the ac- ceptance of the foreign coins of Mexico and Spain at variable values will prob
 ably tend to establish the popularity of the Philippine silver coins. because
 these will have a fixed value, and the
 suppianting of the former by the lat
 ter will most likely be as easily accom-
 plished as was the replacement oy the
 Ja apanese of the Mexican dollar during
 the reconstruction of Japan'S monetary
 system. It seems quite probable that the principe WillCn IS eInDOCleu III the
 pending senate bill. of reduction in the value of the gold unit and the main tenance of the silver legal tender a:

Iowa City Republican: A represent
alive of the Republican few days ago
met Colonel Horton. commandant of
the Soldiers Home at Marshalltown In
view of what has happened in the past,
it seems remarkable that a year could
pass without anything happening to
emphasize the fact hat there is Sol
diers' Home, and that 1T has a COM
mandant, but such seems to be the
case. For number OF years readers of
daily papers had the. Home and its af-
fairs dished up as breakfast or supper
sauce, just as 1t happened, whether
they took morning or evening papers.
but for a year we do not recall having
seen anything about the Home and its
affairs in the public prints. Colonel
Horton has been at the head of things
for more than four years, and that he
has reduced things 10 a state of quie-
tude is much to his credit.
