The controversy between Secretary
Ballinger and Forester Ffnchot, is
interesting 20 the people, because Of
the charge made by the latter, that
formers policy, IN his department,
was favorable to the trusts, in their
efforts to get hold of the water power
resources in the West.
The defense OF Ballnger thus far
Is that he is entirely obeying the
law. But that will not satisfy the
the country. Are the trusts, lawfully
or unlawfully, getting hold of the
sources of water power in the public
domain? II they are, and congress
and Ballinger stand up and see this
raid on the peoples rights go on
they are both fruitless and should
answer II.
The effort to smooth over this mat
ter and restore cordial relations be-
tween Ballinger and Plnchot will not
satisfy the people. II Pinchot is right
the whole country should rise in pro-
test. Not only should the natural
resources of the country be kept out
OF the hands of trusts, but those
they possess should De taken from
them, for trust, so adjudicated, is
an outlaw and entitled to no rights
under the government. That Is the
decision OF Secretary Dickinson of the
war department; Secretary Ballinger
should go to him for lesson If he
has not already learned ito. S.

Both the earlier and later rains
have fallen this year and they insure
a great crop especially of corn. These
later rains also put the ground in
fine condition for seeding and the
chance will be to get the wheat we'll
started this year before the coming
OF the winter. The failure of the
rainfall last year was what cut short
the wheat crop in this section.

heartily in favor Of the plan l ad-
vocated for the appointment of a
presidential commission to combine

National Irrigation Congress, said
this In the course of an interview
dealing with continent-wide scheme

I'VE have reasons to believe that
the nation at large is in full SYM
pathy with the progress that has been
made since the organization of this
congress, 16 years ago, but there is
much work to be done. In fact
l may say that the work of reclaim
alton and conservation Is yet in its
infancy. This becomes apparent
when we realize that more than
8O,O00,000 acres of overflowed and
swamp lands may be reclaimed with
proper drainage, also that there are
4O,O0O.00O acres capable of reclama-
ton by Irrigation.
"The Improvement of our canals,
rivers, lakes and harbors would be of
untold benefit to the nation in in
creased transportation facilities, while
good roads and national highways,

the farm area alone Is more than
$b0O,0O0,O00 a year would add bill

question is the protection, restora-
