Condemns Forest Reserve
Policy

The following resolution was adopted
by the state Democratic convention Mt
Pueblo Wednesday,:
1--WE commend forest reserves upon
real forest areas, but condemn the pres
ent arbitrary and unjust administration
of the same and demand that the ad-
ministration of the reserves be placed by
federal law under effective state and
local control.
1--WE demand the immediate exclu-
sion of agricultural and interested areas
from the reserves, the dismissal of the
army of useless Office holders in our
midst maintained at the public expense
of the people of the West, for the mp
building of a gigantic political machine
at Washington, the abolition of unjust
grazing laws, the repeal of system of
timber sales which puts the lumber
market in the hands of the trusts by
which the price of timber has been
doubled to the consumer
I'VE demand the repeal of all laws
endowing the Forestry Department with
authority to abolish or create rules and
regulations concerning the administra-
ton of the forest reserves, and declare
all such matters to be Legislative in their
character, which Should be coined by
legislative enactment.
1--WE are unalterably opposed to the
pronounced purpose of the Republican
administration to lease the balance of
the public domain thereby withdrawing
the land from settlement. The people
of the West are entitled to the use Of thn
natural resources Of their localities with
which to build their states. They ask
to be put on an equal footing with the
people of the East in this regard, and
will be satisfied with nothing less.

DENIES THAT BRYAN

Congressman Burke Says Office Of
President Is Infinitely More Pow
erful Than Congress.

Congressman James Francis Burke,
of Pittsburg, in an address on THE
Powers of the President" says:
''rhe American people can make no
greater mistake than to elect Mr..
Bryan on the assumption that he can
do no harm in the face Of an adverse
Senate. AS between the executive and
legislative departments of the govern
ment, the former has infinitely greater
power to rule and ruin than the lat
ter.
"Mr. Taft and Mr.. Bryan are wholly
different types Of men. Each pos
sesses strong individual character.
which would certainly assert Itself In
the White House. What either OF
these men would do during II four
years term In the White House Is
causing rs much anxiety among
thoughtful Americans as the mere
matter OF election alone.
"As Il disturber Of moneys the Pres
ident is without rival in the world.
Through the agencies under his con-
troll he will this year disburse billion
dollars, showing the great things we
are doing in adding to the unparalleled
list OF the worlds achievements.
I'm view of the fact that during
the fifteen years of Bryan leadership
the States controlled by his party have
decreased from % to -, the number
of Senators from As to 81, the number
of Representatives in Congress from
220 to 1G4. and in that time the Demo

the expenditure of at least 81 900, 900.
The company's plans include the con
struction of both u low and high line
canal, the low line covering 10, 200 acres
while the high canal will irrigate 30, 600
acres, giving the total Saratoga valley
irrigated area by this company of 100, 900
acres.
The final surveys of the low line canal
are about completed and great deal of
cross sectioning finished, the canal itself
to issue direct from the North Platte
river and to he at the headgates % feet
on the bottom, so feet on top and 10 feet
deep. it being expected that actual low
line canal construction will begin next
spring. The land under both low and
high line canals is within the Union Pa

CATION company owning outright 1000
railroad acres, while water rights will
