THE STATES AND WATER POWER

The following is the minority re.
solution offered In the conservation
convention by Judge Short of Fres-
no, which was voted down by the
bureaucrats, who had possession OF
the works:
This convention recognizes the
rule that the right to the use of wa
tor for irrigation and othcr benen.
cial uses, including the development
OF electrical power. must be acquired
from the states and under state laws.
that in all OF tho public land states
the use Of water and It's products,
including electric power development
thereby, Is public use subject to
the fixing OF rates and charges and
the control and regulation of the
state.
I'VE therefore recommend that in
Its dealings with the public lands the
federal government shall cooperate
with the state to the end that wator
and electric power generated thereby
shall be furnished to consumers at
the lowest reasonable rates under
regulation provided by the state.
That the development Of Irriga-
'Vh anu eAcCtilSdl euerBy are recOg-
nized as great conserving forces, and
full cooperation should exist be-
tween the nation and the states. to
the end that the use and develop
ment OF these sources of production
and development shall be encourag.
ed, the cost to the consumer de-
creased and the state be enabled to
exercise its functions OF control and
regulation to the best possible ad-
vantage"

SIXTEEN MILLION AMERICAN
SCHOOL CHILDREN

This is country OF equal oppor-
tunities, and one of the greatest op'
portunitles that IL offer5 Is that OF cd
ucation. Education smooths the way
Tor future success by preparing the
individual for efficient service. The
advances in education during the past
few decades have been remarkable IN
quality and quantity. A consideration
OF educational statistics for the past
score OF years will SuGsiautiate this
statement as far as measurable prog.
ress ie concerned. Twenty years ago
the number Of school teachers in the
United States was 272.000. and the
number OF pupils In the schools was
close to 5000. An enormous increase
oharactcrizes the current figures.
More than half million teachers OF
both sexes are now engaged in in
structing 100000 scholars. In other
words. the magnitude OF the American
school eystom is demonstrated by the
statement that Ii has moro than dou-
tury. Tho educational bill OF the
United States now reaches the round
annual sum of $3.50 900, 900, es against
the approximate sum of Sl25.000, 900
in 1888. Ii is interesting to loarn that
