State SoyereiGnty's Last Ditch

The New Orleans PicaYune tells
about The FIGHT which Louisi&na
made Il few years ago to prevent
its sanitary service from being
turned over to the national board
of health, and doleful.y adds:
"NOw we rush into the arms of
Uncle Sam, and are only too hap
py if We can trade our out-of date
Democratic state sovereignty
truupory for relief from the re-
sponsibility Of a plain duty, and
for money enough for temporary
sanitation of the city. Truly,
times change - ''Ihey do indeed, ;"
is the commentary Of tic Louis
vile Courier Journai; $50 fast
and 50 much that there seems lit
tie Old fashioned Democracy LEFT
anywhere in the country"
1t is q great thing to have an
Uncle Sam to fall back on ir time
|of trouble. Every paper III The
Picayune's latitude eommends the
action of the Louisiana and New
Orleans authorities in letting the
national government ta1c charge
of the situation, the state and city
would have been GLAD to ''go it
alone" but the case was too big
for then, TO handle, or they thought
it was TOO big. In that situation
state sovereignty and local pride
have to take q back seat. The
conditions have changed since the
old days when state rights were a
religion in certain parts Of the
country. If John Taylor of Caro-
lima or John {. Calhoun bad fore
seen Louisi"na's Surrender Of her
| functions 10 the federal authority
they would have wished they bad
never been born. Omniscicnt us
was that old particulnrist Thomas

treasurer, r. B. Wallace of Monte

, is to be composed of two repre-

valley counties, one being stock
man and one an irrigationist or
farmer. The annual meeting of
the association will take place the
second Tuesday in November of
each year, but the right is given
the executive committee to call
special meeting when necessary.
The gist of the addresses is con-
tained in the resolutions which
were unanimously adopted by the
mass meeting and which we pub
lish in full, as follows:
RESOLUTIONS.
Whereas, The people of the San
Luis Valley, embraced within the
counties of Mineral, Conejos, Cos
tilla, Rio Grande and Saguache, in
mass meeting assembled at Ala
mosa, Colorado, on the 18th day of
November, A. ID. 1905, solemnly
represent and show that the San
Luis Valley, lying in the water
shed of the Rio Grande river in
Colorado, is large valley, nearly
equal in area to the state of Mas
sachusetts, and though arid, with
the application of water in irriga-
ton, will all become arabic, fertile
land. Approximately, about one
tenth of this great valley is irriga-
ted and cultivated and yields abun-
dainty in wheat, oats, barley, pota-
toes, peas, beans, grasses and other
crops, as the entire valley would do
with the application Of sufficient
water.
Whereas, The San Luis Valley,
comprising the counties aforesaid,
and having a population of 10000
inhabitants, is dependent upon the
Rio Grande river and its tributar-
les for irrigation; and,
Whereas, Several of the canal
companies, some owned by common
carrier companies and others by
farmers and actual settlers, are
still willing and anxious to con-
struct reservoirs for the purpose Of
conserving water to enable them
to reclaim lands not yet irrigated
and brought under cultivation, and
to supplement the supply of water
from the natural streams when a
shortage occurs SO as to fully ir-
rigate lands when already under
cultivation, and
Whereas, The United States
Government, acting through its
proper officials, is unwilling to ex-
tend the benefits of the reclamation
service to the San Luis Valley for
the benefit of it's people. and is al
SO unwilling to permit the canal
companies, already operating in
such valley, to construct reservoirs
at their own expense, and is also
unwilling to accept filings rendered
by several of the corporations and
people interested in constructing
reservoirs whereby such compan-
les and persons may acquire rights
of way over the public domain for
their respective reservoirs and the
necessary bitches and canals in
connection with the same.
Whereas, Be 1t Resolved. That
we respectfully and urgently re.
quest our representatives in the
Congress of the United States to
