NATIONAL IRRIGATION WORK
MILLIONS OF ACRES ARID LANDS

ESTIMATED THE WORK WILL

!. FOR MILLION PEOPLE

Washington, May 10.-The govern
ment irrigation projects are found in
fourteen states and territories. Some
projects will open to settlement
100000 or 100000 acres of land.
Others embrace less than $4,000 acres.
AS most Of the land to; be irrigated is
now vacant public land, and as the
bulk of the irrigated region will be
taken up in eighty-acres farms, it is
roughly calculated that the govern
ment, by opening to settlement these
areas of irrigated, land, will swell the
population of the west by at least
100000 in the next five years.

which plans have been approved, and

The question of government regula.
ton of railroad rates is delicate one.
Attorney General Moody gives it out
that the government has power to reg.
ulate rates. Secretary Taft says rail.
road rate regulation is coming. But
even when it is agreed that the gov.
eminent has the power to regulate
rates, the fixing of rates remains to be
4 done. Congress cannot enact sched-
ule of rates by law. The most con-
gress can do is to declare a standard
of rates. The work of regulation, it
would seem, must be left to commits
sion OF experts. But what is to be the
standard of transportation rates? On
all railroads and shipping lines there
are different conditions, affecting
rates. There are long and short hauls.
There are the hundreds of commodities,
on which different rates are charged.
There are natural conditions that
make transportation more expensive
IN some cases than in others. It ap-
pears, therefore. that the fixing of
rate standard will be matter of ex-
IRENE difficulty. Doubtless there are
some experts in the country who would
be able to determine what are reason
able rates of transportation, but they
are largely in the railroad business
themselves. No question is more vital
to the country than this one of trans
portation charges, and at the same
Time no question is SO complex or
presents so many difficulties.

Land is quoted under the homestead
law, but settlers are required to pay
for their water right. According to
present estimates, it will cost ST to
$35 an acre to irrigate. It is the belief
of reclamation officials, however, that
the most costly projects will easily
stand the expense, because of the
fertility of the land and it's convenient
location as regards transportation.
The building of irrigation works,
the first Of which will be completed
this summer, has solved the problem
of providing farms for those who seek
them. Now the opening of Indian
reservations makes available nearly
100000 acres of grazing land. The
land is there, and awaits the settlers.
