AN ADDRESS.

SdS:
The democrats of Arkansas are
to be congratulated upon the
great victory they have just won
in the state election in electing
the entire state ticket by an in
creased majority over former
years, which is an inspiration of
encouragement to the democrat
ic hosts in the doubtful states.
While we have won great VIC
tory in the state election, yet
there is work for US ahead. The
greatest political battle is now
being waged by the two great
parties that has ever been waged
in this country.
The democratic platform is the
best platform ever written by a
national convention, and we have
the greatest, grandest, and most
splendid leader in William Jen-
nings Bryan the world ever saw;
and it hehooves every democrat
in the district to be sup and do
ing" and let's roll up such a ma
jority for the democratic ticket in
the second congressional district
on the third day of November as
has never been surpassed.
The democratic party in its
platform adopted at Denver de-
clares for an income tax.
The republican platform adopt.
ed at Chicago is silent upon the
question, and Mr.. Taft, the can
didate for the presidency on the
republican ticket, says in his
speech Of acceptance that he will
not be in favor of an income tax
so long as the protective system
will furnish sufficient revenues
for the needs of the government.
In other words, Mr.. Taft is not in
favor Of taxing the incomes Of
corporate and individual wealth,
80 long as it is possible, under
the protective system, to collect
from the people, upon what they
eat and wear, sufficient revenues
to run the government.
The democratic party at Dem
yer adopted a plank declaring
for the election of United States
senators by a direct vote Of the
people. The democratic party
wants to bring the government
closer to the people by electing
their United States senators by
popular vote.
The republican party at Chi
cago turned down this PROPOSE.
ton Of electing United States
senators by direct vote Of the
people by the overwhelming vote
Of S66 to ia; hence the republic
can party is opposed to this re-
form. The republican party pre-.
fers that tho United States sem
ate shall remain the bulwark Of
predatory wealth as it has been
for so many years.
The democratic party at Den.
YER declared unanimously for the
publication Of campaign contri.
buttons before the election; 80
that the rank and file Of all par.
ties may know what influences
are at work in the election OF a
president for the people.
The republican party at Chi.
cago turned down this PROPOSE.
ton by the overwhelming vote OF
$50 to 04; and being hard press
ed since the convention the re-
publican leaders now cay they
are heartily in favor OF publicity
OF campaign contributions, but
they say they believe In taking
the people into their confidence
upon this question after the
election. The republican party
Is not only afraid for the demo.

The Washington Star has begun
to urge the changing of the inaugu-
ration OF presidents, for the reason
that storm generally visits the cap
ital city on March 4. The Star
takes up this question religiously
every four years, but for some rea-
son or other the change is not made.
The time favored is in April. as dur
ing that month Washington Ia gem
orally at Its best. After a president
rs inaugurated he generally favors
he postponing the Inauguration Of
his successor for one month or more,

WILL MORE THAN PAY.

The United States Reclamation
Department has announced the COM
pletion OF the first unit Of the Sun
nyside Irrigation project in theYah-
ma Valley. The system will sup
ply water to 1880 acres next sea-
son. There is a charge against this
land of s52 per acre for construc-
truction work, and 95 cents per acre
per year maintenance fee. The for
mer charge may be divided into ten
equal payments, making the firts an
nual payment falling due March l,
1909, and the subsequent payments
March / of each year.
1t will be seen that irrigation works
cost money. The government, unlike
private enterprises does not charge
interest and does not look for a
profit on the money invested, yet set
tiers under this system will pay $52
an acre to get the water on the land
uuu tnth III
fee. 1t is believed that water can
be placed on the lands in this part of
the Rogue River Valley for $50 per
acre, with a small sum each year
for maintenance. and II this plan is
carried out for sum no larger than
$50 our people will be very fortu-
nate. No matter what the cost may
be It will be more than returned to
the farmer and orchardist in the In
creased product Of the fertile lands
Of this section. Water must be
had. for our people are becoming
tired OF wasting their time on the
few crops that can be grown without
water, and before another year want
to be shipping grain and hay instead
OF having It brought In from other
parts OF the state. Irrigation will
bring this about.
