INDIANS AND IRRIGATION.
Employed on Government Projects
in Arizona and Montana.

Employed ON Government Projects
i'm Arizona and Montana
On several of the big government irri-
CATION projects now under construction
pains have been taken to give employment
to large numbers of Indians living near
the works. In connection with every pro-
Ject the government finds it necessary to
undertake more or less road building and
Il is principally ON this work that the In
dams are employed. Others, more accus-
toned to labor, have employment on the
canals and at the dam sites. In this way
they are enabled to earn a living and to fit
themselves to become self-supporting when
the government moves from the field ana
they are thrown on their own resources.
In Arizona several hundred Apache In
dams are now employed in road building
and on other works connected with the ir-
rigation system. When this project is
completed and the lands are taken up by
settlers, the Indians, or many of them,
will be able to find employment with the
settlers, as there is much work to be done
before the irrigated lands are converted
into productive fields. In Montana many
more Indians are at work on the Milk riv-
er project, and later, when the government
begins constructions in the klamath basin,
employment will be given to all klamath
Indians who desire to make from 81 to
81 a day. Possibly better pay will be
granted to those who are competent to
earn more.

BabcOci< Opposes the stand Pat
Agreement.
Mr.. Babcock of Wisconsfn, former

MI. BaDcOck OF Wisconsin, FORMER
chairman of the Republican congress
sional committee. is a candidate for re,
election to Congress. He repudiates the
standpat agreement of President Roose-
welt and Speaker Cannon and in an
address to the voters of his district de
clares himself for tariff revision. He
expresses the belief that tariff revision
is of ''oyerShadowlng Importance" and
absolutely necessary" He also favors
removing the tariff tax on lumber. But
unless Mr.. Babcock will pledge himself
TO keep out of the Republican caucus
for Speaker and vote for one who will
appoint a majority of the ways and
means committee, to whom all tariff
bills are referred. who will report a
bill for tariff revision, his declaration
FOR tariff revision is but as sounding
brass and tinkling cymbals. The Re
publicans of Mr.. Babcock's district who
are tariff reforiners, and there are
gooG many such, declare that his declar-
alton for tariff reform is but political
strategy. Make him pledge himself to
vote for a tariff reform Speaker, or de-
feat him. Take no chances.

1902 See Cong. Record. page 1895, for
that year. Gen. GroSyenor stated that
his bill was prepared by the labor lead

clares in his speech of acceptance that
a similar bill would turn loose in
times of trouble the crininally dis
posed" In charity for Speaker Can
non it must be SAID that he is 40 years
old and probably his memory is not as
good as it used 10 be. But what excuse
can be made for the Republican mem

recommended the passage of the eros

the members that allowed it 10 pass

A charitable worker who has come in

boys in the city who are worse than home

The fact that they can buy weapons
and ammunition without explanation
makes it an easy matter for youthful
thugs to start on their careers. They
laugh at the efforts of the police to catch
them. For the most part they live at
home or with relatives, and in the neigh
borhoods are known as dissipated and
tough boys, but not as holdup men. With
companions they sally out at night to iso-
lated sections of the city where they know
the police protection to be inadequate.
They choose secluded spots offering the
protection of darkness and lay in wais.
Then, with plenty of time deliberately to
stop the victim and take from him valua-

policeman to be in the vicinity, or until
the profits of the expedition are sufficient
