CONGRESS MAY PROVIDE
A FUND FOR IRRIGATION

Denver, Nov. 5.-Provision by con-
gress for the issuance instead of
bonds, of government warrants bear
ing a low rate OF interest, with which
to complete the various irrigation and
reclamation projects in the west. is
favored by Senator Carter of Mon
tana. chairman Of the senatorial COM
mittee on irrigation and reclamation.
now Investigating these big public
improvements. according to Senator
Charles J. Hughes. who has just re-
turned to Denver after accompanying
the committee through Colorado.
Chairman Carter expressed himself
freely to the committee during its stay
in Colorado. He believes that such
emergency warrants would solve the
problem which confronts the govern
ment by making possible all the big
projects without delay. He believes
also that the opposition to proposed
bond issue from the east would be
largely overcome by the warrant plan.
The amount OF the warrant Issue SEN
ator Carter would limit to $4,000 900.
according to Senator Hughes.
However. the limit would at no time
be reached. since the reclamation
fund receives annually from $1,000. 900
to ss.0O0.O00 from the sale of govern
ment lands. and other money from
the farmers through some of the pro-
jects completed and others nearly so.
in payment for water furnished by
the government. With the income from
these sources. together with the war
rant plan, Senator Carter believes
that the government can go on with
the work not only on the Colorado
projects. but the other under way.
The question is how the situation
is to be met. IL the government shall
go on prosecuting the work." said
Senator Hughes 1T Is fairly within
the purpose OF the law TO have the
public lands what individual enter
prise cannot do.
BY the warrant Issue the $50 oo0.-
900 could be paid back during a period
of fifteen years. and after the compile
ton OF these projects.
Colorado alone has demonstrated
these beneficial expenditures TO the
members OF the committee. who mar
yeled at what had been done in the
way OF development This state has
not had expended from the fund here
a sum equal to its sale OF public lands
by 81 100000. In other words. we are
entitled to 100000 OF the fund the

FROLTCSOME LAWMAKERS

The Journal notes with regret that
fifty members of the legislature left
their post of duty in Little Rock and
spent Saturday in Hot Springs like so
many school boys on a lark.
The real purpose of the affair is
self-eyident-it was an effort on the
part of the Hot Springs gamblers and
their friends to change the sentiment
of the legislature and secure the pass
age of a law permitting horse racing
at Hot Springs. 1t is said there were
and there may have been
good men in this frolicsome crowd Of
solons, but we believe they could have
chosen better company and more use
full way TO have spent the day. 1t is
The Journals opinion that any mem
Der of the legislature who absents him
self from his post of duty without good
reason therefor, places a very low
estimate upon his honor and has lit
tie regard for the oath he has taken to
faithfully discharge his duties. 1t is
no part of the duties of member OF
the legislature to quit his seat in that
body and traipse around over the
state upon the invitation of few
gamblers and their friends. The tax
payers of Arkansas pay their senators
and representative to assemble at
Little Rock and legislate for the best
interests of the state, and not to waste
their time in idle and frohcsome ex-
cursions here and there at the beck
and call of Tom, Dick and Harry.
The man who places the proper regard
upon his honor and the obligation he
has assumed, will not be guilty Of
such disgraceful conduct and direlic-
ton of duty.
The member of the legislature who
absents himself from his seat without
valid excuse should forfeit his office.
The man who hires himself to an
other TO do certain work for certain
period of time, loses his job if he
quits his work and goes frolicking
around. The same principle should
apply in the case of public servants.
A great many members of the legis-
lature seem to think that the peo-
pie elect them for no other purpose
than to go to Little Rock and have
big time" doing nothing and frolic-
ing around like so many country
school boys on vacation.
The Journal is glad to note, how
ever, that neither of independence
county's representatives were in the
Hot Springs excursion.

ADMIRES THE SALOON

According to the views of the New
port Democrat, there is only one in
stitution known to American civiliza-
ton that our country could not get
along without, and that is the saloon.
We might abolish the schools, the
churches, the American banking sys-
TEN, the eleemosynary institutions and
even our forms of our state and ma
tional government but the saloons
never.
Editor Waterman seems to think the
country would go to the dogs if it had
no saloons, and, according to his
idea, the only thing man needs to
make him good citizen is plenty of
booze. No matter if a man and his
family must go half clad, with but
little to eat, and never see inside of a
church or school building, if they
have plenty of booze and patronize
the saloons literally, they are all
right and are fully discharging all
the obligations of good citizensh p.
According to the Democrats idea,
it doesn't matter whether a town or a
community has any schools, churches.
manufacturing, banking and business
institutions, just so it has plenty OF
saloons. Saloons are the only insti-
tutions that are an absolute necessity
to a country's prosperity; and besides,
the abolition of the saloon means, in
Waterman's judgment, an abridgment
of personal liberty that the American
people could never stand fort would
be an objectionable crime against
their sacred rights and liberties that
would mean the ultimate overthrow of
the American Republic.
1t is alright to take away a man S
rights and personal liberties along
any other line, but the right to run
saloons and make drunkards, loafers,
gamblers and muderers of men and
boys who might otherwise be good
and useful citizens, is the one sacred
right, according to Waterman's reas-
oning, that must not be molested.
1t matters not that the American
people are going down in their pockets
for millions of dollars annually to
educate their girls and boys to make
good and useful citizens; it matters
not that we are paying other millions
to good men to preach and lecture to
our boys and girls on the principles
of right living and good citizenship;
it matters not that we toll and labor
for the better part of our lives in an
honest endeavor to bring up our chill
dren in the paths of moral and civic
