PREMIER BALFOUR ADVOCATES
BRITISH PROTECTIVE TARIFF

London, Oct 3.-Addressing mass
meeting at Sheffield Thursday night in
connection with the conference Of the
National Union of Conservative Asso-
Citations, Premier Balfour delivered the
speech which has been long heralded
as the first heavy gun to be fired In
the fiscal reform campaign which is
absorbing the attention OF the United
Kingdom. her colonies and, indeed, the
whole world, and which has caused the
present British Cabinet crisis. the re-
suit OF which 1t Is impossible to fore
tell.
Mr.. Balfour, In the course of his
speech. did not even hint at the sue
cessors In the Cabinet to Mr. Cham
berlain, Lord George Hamilton and Mr..
Rtchie. In fact, he did not mention
the ministerial designations. ignoring
altogether that phase of the situation
on which 1t was expected he would
make some declaration. The premier
confined himself strictly to the tariff
question and his speech was to large
extent a repetition OF the arguments
contained in his recent pamphlet.
Concerning the question as to wheth-
er 1t was intended to reverse the YER
dict of the great case of Free Trade
versus Protection in 1886. his answer
was that the controversy of 1916 was
of no interest to the present generation
and was utterly inappropriate to 1903.
He said:

POTATO CROP is

Denver, Oct. "a Republican special

Ing in disguise. Farmers say that the
tubers were unusually slow in matur-

the vines and ripened the potatoes in

COLORADO STATE AFFAIRS AND
DOINGS AT THE CAPITAL. CITY
Colorado Forest Reserves.

e. T. Allen Of Washington, D. c., dis
trict chief Of the Federal Bureau of
Forestry's Investigations of proposed
new forest reserves in Colorado, Idaho
and Montana. has returned to Denver
to inspect the seasons work of his as
sistants and conclude the examinations
in this state. His reports will be pre-
pared during the next two or three
months. and the governments final ac-
ton upon the areas involved may be
expected by the first of the coming
year. Examinations are being made OF
nearly all the mountain areas of Colo
fado which are important to the pro-
lection OF irrigation streams. including
the San Miguel and La Plata ranges in
southwestern Colorado; the San Juan,
Cochetopah and Sangre de Cristo
ranges. which surround the watershed
OF the Rio Grande; the Wet mountains
In Custer county; the West Elk and Sa-
guache ranges on the Gunnison; the
Uncompahgre plateau; the Park and
Medicine Bow ranges In northern Colo

ditions to the present South Platte and
Pixies Peak group of reserves.
Mr.. Allen states that, while large

dents of Colorado have no cause to fear
Wholesale reservation of lands more
valuable for other purposes. The gov
ernment exercises much more care In
this respect than In the past. and the
Investigations cover every aspect OF the
problem. The importance of the irri-
CATION and other interests to be bene-
flied Is ascertained and compared with

supply Is studied and the timber is
carefully mapped so that the reserve
will include no agricultural land.
Farming. grazing and mining are con-
sidered. so that none shall be done an
injustice. The policy is to create small
reserves where they are needed rather
than to include large general areas.
The occasional opposition to re-
serves, MIR. Allen asserts. nearly al
ways is due to misapprehension. Where
the people. especially the miners and
farmers. have become familiar with the
policy they are its fast supporters. The
object Is not to prevent utilization OF
timber and range. but to prevent their
destruction by fire and wasteful use.
A fire patrol is maintained and fund
kept available to pay settlers who as
sist in emergencies. Mining laws ap-
ply in reserves exactly as elsewhere.
Settlers and prospectors are allowed
free timber for all their needs. Lumber
companies. large mines and similar
enterprises may purchase timber and
thus help develop the country, but are
required to take precautions against
fire and are restricted to the economi-
cal use of mature timber not needed
by local residents or miners.
Grazing is restricted only so far as
necessary to prevent overstocking the
range or protect settlers of the region
from outside stock In allotting the
range the actual resident of the re-
serve is given first preference, the man
living nearby is second in considers
tion and the outsider comes last Only
residents of another state are positivc-
ly excluded.

PrerarinQ for Kansas Suit.

Attorney General Miller and the
corps of able lawyers associated with
him in the defense of the suit brought
by Kansas TO put stop to irrigation
in the Arkansas valley are giving spe-
cial attention to the preparation of ev-
idence to be used on the trial. while
at the same time they are guarding all
the legal points.
In view of the attitude taken by the
members of the Supreme Court on the
argument of the demurrer filed to the
first bill of the plaintiff. it looks as if
the case would not be gained on any
purely legal point. apart from the
facts. Accepting this as possibility
the attorneys and State Engineer Car
penter are gathering great quantity
of evidence going to show that irriga-
tion in Colorado does not violate any
right enjoyed by the people of Kansas
Important in this connection are the
measurements of the river which the
state engineer has been making for
some time. BY means of the evidence
thus obtained the inquiries of the Su-
preme Court in regard to certain mat
ters of fact can be readily answered.
Along the same line are the measure
ments already made by the state en-
gineer showing the course of floods in
the river and what becomes of the wa
ter.
AS part of this preparatory work At
torney General Miller has had a search
made of documents bearing upon the
history of the Arkansas river and the
country through which it flows. Ex-
plorers who passed along its banks or
crossed 1t years ago are thus called
upon to testify to the character of the
stream long before there was any irri-
CATION to divert its waters.
This historical evidence strongly
supports the assertion made on behalf
of the defense that in an arid region a
stream grows smaller as it proceeds
from its chief source of supply. In hu-
mid countries river becomes larger as
1t advances toward its mouth. But it
is not so with rivers in an arid region,
as thousands of men in the Rocky
mountains can testify. An arid region
stream loses much of its volume be-
cause the water sinks into the sands.
some of 1t finding its way far below
inlo the rock formation. Thus the tes-
timony clearly shows that near the
mountains the Arkansas has always
been a larger stream than 1t Is two or
three hundred miles east of Pueblo.
1t is the thorough preparation of the
defense which justities the hope that
Kansas will fail in its attempt to check
irrigation in this state, thereby de-
stroying millions of dollars of valuable
property which is the result of the re-
clamation of arid land through irriga-
tion.-Denver Republican.
