a DISHONEST PROPOSAL.

BY a supreme effort and The promise
of more consideration in the distribu-
tion of city jobs. the Americans" have
finally succeeded in getting permission
from Councilman Black TO submit their
$500 600 bond proposal To a vote of the
citizens Ostensibly. according to the
terms of the resolution adopted, the
money is TO be used for new water
main extensions, new sewers. new
conduit for City creek and other new
work. In reality. excepting the pro-
posed conduit. none of the work is
new, most of it has been contracted
for, and approximately half of the
money is intended TO make good the
deficit in the city treasury caused by
extravagant administration.
In the council debate. attention was
called to the fact that the auditor has
not been permitted to publish a true
statement of the city's finances since
the first of the year, although the law
requires the publication OF monthly
statements The omission is inten-
tiOnal not accidental. and it is de-
signed TO conceal an unpleasant condi-
tion of affairs. Without borrowing
money, the city administration cannot
hope TO pay its way through this year.
much less make public Improvements Of
any sort. Without bonds. it cannot
pay its share of outstanding contracts
when completed. Without a bond issue,
II could not possibly hope TO escape
indignant Reputation at the hands of
the voters.
Councilman Hall. who is opposed 10
the issue of bonds, called attention to
the fact that the city of salt Lake is
now carrying an Indebtedness on which
the interest amounts to nearly $500 a
day. To the Americans" this may
seem a small matter; to the property
owners OF the city II is an enormous
burden. added. as it is. TO onerous spe-
cial taxes for sidewalks. street paving,
sewers and parking. If the money were
really 10 be spent for new work, the
community might be willing to stand
IL. particularly if ere were any hope
Of economical. honest expenditure. AS
II is, the proposal is a subterfuge to
avoid confession OF reckless manage
ment that has plunged the city into
debt: and the disbursements are 10 be
controlled by a council which has con-
fessed itself unable 10 do business with
out the permission Of such men as
Black and his allies.
Whether the bonds are voted or not
the council viii have 10 put the tax
rate this year at the maximum: valu-
atoms have already been raised all
along the line; no attempt is being
made TO economic in any department
Of public work and the approaching
election is a guarantee that the city
pay rolls will be loaded down with
political appointees paid for politica
services only.
Nothing in the promises of the ad.
ministration or in its record justifie.
the belief that the bond money will be
used for new improvements: on the
contrary. there is every reason TO be
lieve that large part of il will be di,
verted TO pay existing debts. On IN,
face OF the proposal it is dishonest
misleading and meant for political ends
and the Issue ought 10 be beaten.

DRY LAND FARMING As VIEWED BY

siyely in our southwestern regions, as
a forage crop. The value of cactus
has been fully demonstrated and the
details Of its cultivation are now
being worked out
Farm Management and Soil Surveys.
AS pointed out elsewhere in this
report, important changes have been
made in the matter Of soil surveys.
The regional and detail surveys now
being made will, 1t IS believed, form
useful basis for studies Of farm prac-
tice not only by this department, but
by station workers as well. 1t is
planned to follow up the work now
being done, especially in the Great
Plains area, to the end of utilizing
the soil factors as developed by the
survey in the general aid Of farmers
in the region. In all this work 1t Is
recognized that the successful pro-
duction and disposal Of the crop in
any region are influenced by many
factors. The factors themselves and
their relationships must be studied
before intelligent advlces can be Civ
en- to the farmer.

condition which has existed up to the
present time in the conduct of mill
tary affairs. The war bureau has
been divided into two departments,
which have been in conflict. One was
under the minister of war and the
other under the chief Of the general
staff. This latter department was
practically Independent of the minis
try, and its chief had all the rights of
a minister. The new chief is now
subordinate to the minister of war, and
he can report to the emperor only in
the presence OF the minister.

Farm Management.

Farm Management.
The work which has now been car
rled on for several years under the
general head of Farm Management"
Is growing in Importance and value.
Its object. as previously explained, Is
to bring together and carry to the
| man on the land the best knowledge
of how TO make agriculture more
profitable and at the same time con-
serve or build up the fertility Of the
soil. Research and experiments are
not part of this work. but the re-
suits secured in this field by the de-
partment and the experiment stations
are applied. The work Is distinct
from that of cooperative farm DEM
onstrations as explained under an
other heading in that the class of
farmers dealt with have, owing to
more fortunate surroundings, been
placed in position to undertake ad-
vanced lines in the general improve
ment of agriculture practices.
Work I'm the Middle West.
The continued advance in the price
of land is having a marked effect on
the systems of farming. In addition.
the exhaustion Of the soil under eX-
ploitive systems of farming has
brought about radical changes. A
special line of work conducted dur
ing the year has for its objest the
investigation of the possibilities of in
Producing successful agriculture in
the jack-pine plains of Wisconsin.
Michigan, and Minnesota.
These lands are wild and sandy.
and under ordinary methods of crop
ping are not profitable Certain sys-
tens of farming, involving the grow
Ing of clover for seed, are found prof
liable in the region. A bulletin out
lining this important line Of work
has been published.
Work In the Plains Region.

to the many people who are giving
up their farms in the more humid
regions and securing cheaper lands

regions are being made.
During the present year the de-
partment has been making a careful
study of the experience of number
of farmers who have remained on
the land since the first settlement a |
ago. Some of them have |
worked out satisfactory methods of |
in regions where farming |
generally has not been successful |
The experience of these men will be |
brought together and published in
the near future for the benefit of |
