What We Owe

We owe it to the world to leave
after our passing no blot of bitter
memories. but a green place OF
fragrant remembrance. We owe
it to the world to find the work
we can do best, and do it the best
we can. We owe to the world to
add to the sum of its cheer, and
subtract from the sum of its mis-
cries. We owe to the world to
turn upon it smile, and hide
from it our frowns. We owe to
the world to be helpful. not him
dering. We owe to the world the
courage that is proven by bravely
facing it, uttering no whine about
how it "treats" US. The world
owes us nothing except what it
pays to ALTO give us a stage
upon which to play our parts. How
we play the part depends wholly
upon ourselves. 1t is no part of
the scheme of nature to make the
way of life easy. We must pay
for what we get-pay largely. OF
our strength, of our years, of our
hopes, of our faith. But these
are honest coins, and the world
demands them of US in payment
of what we owe to the world.-A.

A MOST astonishing statement
is made by the Pueblo Chief,ain
in its editorial columns. After say
ing that Congressman Tay lor.
Martin and Rucker "sre making
good records for themselves. /"
If Colorado is to have democratic
congressman at all, it would be
difficult to make a better selec-
tion than has been made" Then
this astonishing statement is
mad.: "But the fact remains that
a democrat IN congress at this
session is able to 20 nothing to
promote the interests of his state
or his district when il comes to a
ma.ter of national legislation. 1t
sfrue that Mr.. Taylor and Mr..
Martin have introduced some
good bills in congress. and those
bills if enacted into laws would
be of marked benefit to this state
and to its people. But none +
those bills have teen passed and
none of them will be passed. for
the reason that the two congress
men are members of thesminority
party. and whatever may be the
intrinsic merits of the measures
they offer, those measures will be
regarded as minority bills" The
Chieftain then makes this state Of
things an argument for the ielec-
ton Of republican congressmen
to take their places. Is that mot
a most extraordinary argument
Because a majority party abso-
luteiy disfranchises those states
which return minority members,
therefore it is necessary to elect
members of the majority party. In
other words. il one party gets ~
to power. IT should distranchise
the other party SO that its own
lease OF power shall be perpetual
The fact that a majority abso
lutely disfranchises minori y re-
pardless of the interests Of the
people shoul be the very best
argument for turning that m,j 7
ity party out. The interests OF
no party are paramount to the in
terests OF the people. We are as
tonished that the Chieftain should
use any such argument.

IRRIGATION BONDS

In the course of his eXamina
ton as witness in the PInchot-
Ballinger matter, former Secre-
tary Garfield said that the issue
of $50, 1000, 900 bonds to complete
irrigation projects was unneces
sary. That is precisely what this
writer believes. The reclamation
of arid lands. under the reclama-.
ton act, must be paid tor from
the lands reclaimed. AS the set
tiers on the lands are to pay the
cost of reclamation, Secretary
Gar6eld's idea was that these men
might do a considerable part of
the work, take certificates show
ing how much they did and turn
the certificates in on what they
had to pay the government for
the reclamation. 1t enabled the
settler to work out the cost OF
getting water instead of having
to dig up the cash to pay some
one else to do the work. To the
ordinary person that seemed to
be an equitable arrangement. but
Secretary Ballinger discovered
that it was a partnership between
the government and the settler,
and the government can have no
partners. Hence there must be
bonds to build the reclamation
works and the people must dig
up the money to pay the interest
on the bonds. AS to the bonds
themselves the people will never
have the opportunity to pay
them. Paym.n mt of the interest is
all that the holders will want.
Congressman Martin of this dis
trict has introduced a bill which
if passed into a law would enable
the settlers on any arid district to
secure irrigation without the in
tervention of the federal govern
ment The Pueblo Chieftain says
that because he is democrat his
bill can not pass. AS the bond
proposition is the one proposed
by President Taft and is just what
the kings of finance" want, it will
doubtless pass and become law.
That is one of the beauties OF
having things done for and to
you by somebody who profits by
it. The west can reclaim its own
lands at less cost and with fewer
h ndicaps under proper laws,
than to have the work done for il
by the general government. But
the bonds are wanted for invest
ment" and therefore we shall
have bonds.
