each state. will receive its just share
of the money until all the available
water shall have been utilized.
Rapidly Increasing.
By way of comparison, it is inter
esting to note that more money was
turned into the reclamation fund dur
ing the fiscal year 1908 (the year
ending June so. 190S.) than in any
previous year since the law was en-
acted. The nearest approach to the
late record was in 1908, when it was
believed that public land receipts
had reached their maximum figure,
and would thereafter gradually de-
cline. In 1903 the reclamation ser
vice received $S.71S.906. This past
year exceeded what was regarded as
high water mark by nearly one mil
lion dollars.
The next highest year to 1903 was
1907. when the contribution amount
ed to s7,9S4,922. The smallest con-
tribution was that of 1901, little
in excess of three millions.
1t is evident from these figures
that the land resources of the United
States are far from exhausted, par
ticularly when they yield increasing
incomes, now exceeding ten million
dollars, the highest figure in the his
tory of the general land office.
I AS matter of fact, the contribu-
tions to the reclamation fund in 1907
and 1908 are far ahead of estimates
made by the reclamation service. and
there is between four and five mil
/ lion dollars more on hand than was
/ cOuDtad on when the PXiStiug Dlan of
work was laid out However, the
increased cost of labor and mater
| ials, and the fact that some projects
are running ahead of estimates, will
cut into this excess, so that there
will be no money available for be-
/ ginning new projects, not yet ap-
| proved

Figures for 1908 Estimated.


1t should be said. by way of ex-
PLANTATION, that the figures given for
the fiscal year 1908 are merely es-
timated. and are based on the actual
receipts from public land sales in
the various states.
In 1906 and again in 1907 the
reclamation fund received SO per
cent of the land receipts. the other
s per cent going to state agricultur-
al colleges. and to defray certain eX-
penses of the local land offices, such
as fees and commissions of registers
and receivers.
The figures above quoted are com
puted on the 93 per cent basis, and
may be slightly excessive or not suf-
ficiently liberal However, the SAME
percentage was applied to each ol
the states. so that the relative con
tributions are as shown. and final
computation will show the figures
approximately as given.
Under the reclamation law a ma
jority of the money contributed by
any state to the reclamation fund
shall be expended in building irri-
cation works within that state. The
interior department has stipulated
that 81 per cent shall thus be set
apart in what is known as the re-
stricted fund, and the remaining 49
per cent goes into the general fund
to be expended by the secretary
where it is considered most essen
tial. Thus it works that some states

Washington, Oct S.-The national
reclamation fund has passed the S50,-
100000 mark. Nine and one-half
millions of dollars were added to the
fund during the past fiscal year, by
far the largest contribution in any
one year since the passage of the
national reclamation act, and the to-
tai fund, including the contributions
received during the past year, now
amounts to $50.746,454.
Not all this amount is now avail
able for use. for many millions have
already been expended in the con-
struction of works in all the states
contributing to the fund, and other
millions have been contracted for,
so that all the money heretofore
available, or now available, will be
required for the completion of pro-
jects now under way. 1t is not ex-
pected that any new projects will be
authorized in the immediate future.
North Dakota Leads.
Up to the past year, Oregon has
been the leading contributor to the
reclamation fund, with North Deko-
ia second. The land fraud prosecu
tions in Oregon, however. have hat
the effect of retarding land sales il
that state, and in consequence re
ceipts from such sales have faller
behind the receipts of North Dakota
thus enabling that state to forge tt
the front for the first time. Nortf
Dakota has been experiencing lant
boom, which made it possible for the
state to climb into first place. Wash

cupies third place on the list of con
tributors.

Joe Cannon has become a nation
al issue. The system for which he
stands is repugnant to popular gov
ernment. 1t is Il substitution of au-
tocracy for democratic rule. 1t is
boss rule on a national scale. The
house of representatives abides by
our constitution as a clearing house
of popular demands. and where the
will of the majority could be enact
ed into law; but. under the Cannon
theory of legislation, this branch of
congress has become the chief in
strument of an individual despotism
that is enriching the few at the eX-
pense of the many.
We can concede the personal hon
esty of Cannon without endorsing
the perversion OF representative gov
ernment which he typifies; but he
has yielded to an environment that
is repulsive to free government, and
his retention in position of such
power is menace to the people S
welfare. He is the champion OF
standpatism, which simply means
that the people, having passed under
the yoke of monopoly. must remain
in a condition of serfdom. by the re-
tention of high tariff for gigantic

OLIVER MOROSCO
IS FOUND GUILTY
JURY ALLEGES VIOLATION OF
CHILD LABOR LAW
Mrs. Harry Giazier and Ten-Year=o Id
Son Say Latter Was Employed
in Four Acts of "The
Halfbreed'

On charge of violating the child
labor law Oliver Morosco was found
guilty by jury in Police Justice Fred
ericksons court yesterday.
According TO the complaint Morosco
was charged with having employed 10
year-old Harry Glazier Jr., son of one
of the actors of the Burbank stock COM
pany. The lad took the part of Little
Pal in the "Halfbreed."
According to the evidence the boy
appeared in four different acts. The
state law states that children under the
age of IA shall not be allowed to take
part in any public theatrical perform
ance.
Three witnesses testified-the boy his
mother and Humane Officer Reynolds
They stated that the lad had appeared
in the play in four acts. The defense
did not place any witnesses on the
stand.
The case was closely contested. Judd
r. Rush for the defense contended that
young Glazier was being educated in
the profession he had chosen to fol-
low and that the case did not come
within the spirit of the state law. Dep
uty Attorney Ford made a strong ar
gument, stating that If the boys par
ents wished to make an actor of him
they had the means of doing so.
The Jury returned a verdict of guilty
On account of the statement of the at
torneys for the defense that the de-
cision of the jury would be appealed to
a higher court Justice Frederickson
will not impose sentence until the
higher courts are heard from.
