GOVERNMENT OWNERSHIP
OF ROADS is DOUBTFII,

Chicago, Dec. 25.--Slason Thomp-
son Of the Railway News bureau, in
discussing the government adminis-
tration of railways, says:
Whether the government owner
ship and operation of railways would
be the best policy for the republic
may be an open question. but IL
would at least be an honest policy.
Whether it would give the Ameri-
can people more efficient and cheaper
transportation service may be most
seriously doubted, but AT least they
would know who to hold responsible
and could tax themselves to make
good its losses, as they have done in
Australia
''The railways, so far as have
heen able to learn, interpose no objec-
ton to the regulation that viii insure
the fullest performance of their pub
lie duties as common carriers, and
full and fair publicity as to their
acts. They realize that this is not
only the will of the American people,
but that it is the safest policy for
them.
But they have a right to expect
that hand in hand with such regula-
ton will go an intelligent and just
recognition of their rights and re-
sronsibilities."

WATER WASTE LARGE
SAYS GOVERNMENT
OFFICIAL
Only One Third OF the Water
Taken From Streams Is
Used in Irrigdtlng
Land.
FIFTY MILLION
ACRES THE LIMIT
BY Utilizing All Water Available
the Total viii Only be Small
Percent of the Arid
Region OF the
West.

Chicago. Dec. 25.--William E. Cur
tis. under a Washington date line in
the Record Herald today gives addi-
tional data on the water supply pos
sible for irrigation purposes in the
arid and semi-arid territory of the
country. as furnished by DR.. A. c..
True of the agricultural department.
This supply, says DR.. True, is so linn
tied that If it could all be used for
irrigation purposes it would water
only a small fraction of the total
area of that region.
There are about 100000 acres
under irrigation bitches and it is es-
timated that the water supply avail
able will allow that area to be extend
ed to so OOO,0 acres. But if the
present wasteful methods are con-
tinued this area will have to be re-
duced 10000 900 acres.
1t is safe to say that not more than
one-third of the water diverted from
the streams serves a useful purpose
on land. While some of this loss is
unavoidable, much can be prevented
ty better irrigation methods. DR.. True
says that unlined bitches and need
less evaporation are two causes OF
much waste which could and should
be stopped.

THEY WANT AMERICAN FLOUR.

Washington, Dec. 25.-That Ameri-
can flour Is welcome in the Neither
lands because of its peculiar value for
bread making in the home milled soft
wheat flours, with which it is blended
by the bakers in the bread making
process, is the report made by w. III.
Davis special agent of the bureau OF
manufacturers.
He says that the German flour
which possesses no such characteris-
tic, Is making headway in Holland
as we'll as in other countries only be-
cause 1t is cheap, the government
bounty making it so. He says that the
milling interests OF Holland, hitherto
free traders because Of their need OF
foreign wheat, will advocate this year
a duty on flour to keep out the cheap
German products and that, while tnie
is not aimed at American mills, II
would hit them far harder than those
Of Germany.

members of the House who can name
them all? The average voter knows
the name of the representative of his
district and perhaps couple OF otn-
ers from his state who are OF unusual
prominence. Then, possibly, he may
be able TO name half n dozen or more
of the leaders of the house from 9TH
er states, and there his familiarity
with the House membership ends.
This is not the fault of the voters.
If the members of Congress individ-
uslly commanded his attention ne
would give It, The chances ere he
knows the names of lot more ball
players and knows heap more about
each one of them than he does about
members of Congress
That this condition exists is well
understood on Capitol Hill. The ques-
ton is, how can it be remedied? Re
ducing the size of the House is one
of the methods proposed.

fair. The rains of last season were
scattering. Some places there is
pelnty of grass and in other places
there is none. A large number OF cat
