WHAT THE LAND SHOW MEANS.

Twenty thousand people visited the
land and irrigation exposition-called
the land show" for convenience-on
the opening day at Chicago last Sat
urday. Every one paid half dollar to
look at the exhibits Of the states pre-
senting their land. and the products Of
IT, to the attention of the people Of
America. Not even the live stock ex-
position, which annually brings throngs
Of people to Chicago. was so well pat
ronized. There is a vital attraction
in the land show; and hundreds of
thousands will see the exhibit before
the fourteen days are ended.
In a very exhaustive review of the
opening features of the land show, the
Chicago Tribune makes the following
report:
On the right of the big main entrance
the first exhibit is one that could well
hold the visitors attention for an in
definite period. The early start in ir-
rigation By the Mormon settlers has
given Utah some slight advantage over
other western states, and the exhibit
here reflects that advantage. Four
enormous squashes, each big enough to
feed a number Of families for weeks
and Weighing, in the aggregate, 1850
pounds, look more like fine yellow bal
looms than any bulb from the earth, so
large are they and so clean, sleek. and
smooth are their skins. Sorghum cane.
thirteen. fourteen, and even fifteen feet
tail, producing, as Thomas Judd, the
Utah resident in charge Of the exhibit
win tell you, 528 gallons of sorghum
from an acre Of land.
Not all the energy Of Utah, however,
is given TO growing cane, and the
booth, which is among the most at
tractively arranged. is filled with sam
pies of products of the earth OF almost
every nature. Wheat from the irriga-
ton belt, growing hard, fine kernels.
cabbages, cauliflowers, and even pome-
granates, which one might expect only
from the utmost southerly points of
land.
By the account we should say that
many other sections OF the country
make more elaborate and, therefore.
more xpensive-displays than does
Utah. Some Of them are very costly
indeed. Idaho has had the wisdom to
send number of capable women, who

a good feature. but Que which the COM
mission in Utan believed would be bet
ter omitted.
Editorially. the Chicago Tribune
makes the following comment:
Here one can find exhibited the prod
ucts OF the newly opened lands OF the
south and west. Grains, vegetables
fruits and fodder are shown, and their
planting, harvesting and gathering ex-
planned. Models of ranches, irrigated
fields and irrigation plants may be seen
IN operation. The governors, senators
and other officers of the interested
states, the government reclamation Off
cials. and many prominent men en-
gagged in irrigation and other projects
for exploiting these lands are present
and anxious to meet all who seek infor-
nation.
Primarily. the purpose Of the land
show is to exploit the advantages Of

PRIVATE ENTERPRISE is
BETTER.

Doubtless the members of the state
land board did what seemed best when
they ventured on the Sewer Valley
canal extension. There was the posi-
pility of vastly benefiting the people
Of that region. But the work is in
complete. The board is said to have
reported a lack of funds; and the COM
pletion Of the canal may have to wait
for another year or two.
1t viii doubtless be better for the state
to sell the canal to some private COM
pany. The work can then be COM
pleted-and viii be. The lands will be

in demand, because they will have water
ready for the farmer. And land values
all over the valley viii be increased
because Of the completed project.
As a rule the private enterprise is
better for these works. Where carefully
guarded by the state, SO that the people
will be fairly dealt with, the company
canal gets results; and these results
are for the betterment of the state, and
all its citizens.
The officials did wisely to begin the
work. but they would do better now to
sell it to some company that will carry
it to completion.

WOULD INCREASE REVENUE.
Bill Would Force Oil inspectors to
Report to Governor.

JEFFERSON City-'Senator Booth OF
Dallas county Is preparing a bill which
he believes will pave the way for the
enactment Of a statute law two years
from now which will give the state
considerable revenue from coal oil in
spection. His bill requires the coal oil
inspectors to report to the governor
the amount OF fees received for in.
specting oils and from whom. The bill
provides a penalty for failure to make
such a report.
The law now requires that the sew.
eral inspectors report to the governor,
but few Of them report, and those who
do report make II in such a way that
very little can be gained from them.
The coal oil inspector of st. Louis
makes his report as required by law,
and last year turned into the state
treasury more than $1,000. He Is the
only inspector on a salary basis, the
excess Of the fees received being
turned into the state treasury.
The other inspectors of the state
keep all the fees they receive. Senator
Booth thiks that his bill will give the
legislature information on which to
frame a bill placing the coal oil In
spectOrs on salaries and turning the
fees into the state treasury.
The fees Is IL cents per barrel in
this state. In Nebraska the fees are
10 cents per barrel and the inspection

eral deputies. The state makes money,
Senator Booth says, and he would in.
stall some such system here II the re.
ports show that the state would not
be the loser.
Some persons who claim they know
have told him that the state would
receive $4,000 annually from such a
system of inspection as is now oper-
ated In Nebraska.

Would Bar the judiciary.

Young ministers sometimes say
some very %irreverent things when first
they get in harness, but seldom are
so broadly condemnatory as the young
clergyman who was called upon to act
as chaplain at the opening Of o recent
term Of court down In Maine.
After covering everything he could
think of as appropriate to say from re.
ligion to law, he closed his prayer
with the duplication: "And, finally,
may we all be gathered in the happy
land where there are no courts, no
lawyers and no Judges"
Then they changed chaplains.
