DELIVERS ADDRESS.

Pueblo.--The National Irrigation
Congress opened Monday under the
most favorable auspices, the apparent
disposition being to attend to the work
Tor which the congress is organized
and to eliminate factionalism as much
rs possible.
Governor Shafroth in his speech OF
welcome said that he had been pres
ent at the first Irrigation Congress,
I'm Salt Lake City in 1891, not as a
delegate but as an Interested specta-
tor. He declared that the congress
had exerted good influence ON the
national legislature at Washington; an
influence that led directly to the max
ing OF the irrigation laws which the
governor said the people had much
reason to be proud of.
"Nine-tenths of the water that falls
in Colorado leaves Colorado" Governor
Shafroth said. mo adequate attempt
has been made until recently to retain
these waters within the state, for state
use. I realize it will not be long be-
fore every drop that falls IN Colorado
win be retained excepting that taken
out under prior appropriations"
The governor pointed cut the fact
that the eyes of the world are focused
on the Western irrigation states be-
cause of the wonders that are made
possible only by state conservation of
state water. For the benefit of dele
gates from other states and from for
eign countries the governor devoted a
few minutes to an exposition of what
irrigation had done and is expected to
do for Colorado. He quoted statistics
which must have been startling to per-
sons not already familiar with the
facts. In conclusion the governor invit-
ed the delegates,to to see for themselves
some of the best agricultural and hor-
ticultural districts of Colorado before
going back to their homes. He hoped
they would visit Denver, too.
Mayor Fugard OF Pueblo delivered
q short. well-worded address on behalf
of the city.
President Fowler responded elo.
Qnently to both welcoming addresses
at once, and then he read message
from President Taft as follows:
Il regret that my official duties pre-
vent my presence at the National Irri-
cation Congress, as 1t would be plea
sure TO extend personal greeting to
members and to show my regard for
the policies for which it stands and
the work In which 1t is interested. My
views on irrigation and reclamation
are known from my public utterances.
but l wish to take this occasion to ex-
press to the congress my thanks and
the thanks Of the country for what
you are doing In the great work of
rcclaiming the land of the arid
districts. l trust your counsel may
be wise and your deliberations result
In much good. VIM. H. TAFT"

SOME SCHOOL PROBLEMS
The Great Need of Better Country
Schools i'm Arkansas

The only real objections to the
consolidation of small rural schools
into larger ones and the transpor-
tation of the children in wagons,
to them, are that it removes an
ancient landmark, and is decided
innovation. These are unfortunate
ely objections of great weight with
a considerable class of patrons of
rural schools who choose to live,
move and die as their ancestors
did. But things of the past are
not good enough for the people of
today, and along with such things
as rural free delivery of mails, teIe-
phones and good roads, the free
transportation of children to good
public schools is likely in the near
future to play an important part
in the bette rment of life on the
farm.
The great number of rural
school district, keeps the amount
of money available for school pur-
poses in each district at so low q
level that it is difficult to procure
efficient teachers The low rate of
wages prevents the employment of
teachers. The low rate of teachers
who have had q normal or even
high school education. Many of
them have had only a limited edu-
cation given by the school in which
they teach and many rural schools
have too few pupils to stimulate
the teacher to do his best work, or
provide competition for the pupils
either in the class room or on play
ground. This is most discouraging
both to the teacher and the pupils.
Arkansas has over five hundred
schools with an enrolment of ten.
These two faults of many rural
schools can be largely overcome by
consolidating small school districts
into larger ones, and transporting
the children who live too far to
walk.
The funds from several districts
go to single district, general ex-
penses are cut down, and better
teachers employed. At the same
the number of children in attend
ance increases, for the pupils find
the school more interesting
If we are to improve our agri-
culture and compete on the best
terms with our rival in the world
markets, if we are to make the
markets, if we are to make the
conditions of country life attrac-
tive enough to keep bright boys
and girls on the farm, we must
give immediate attention to the
needs of the rural schools. And
this matter the farmers have in
their own hands. Commute

LET THE PEOPLE RULE
That's What They Can do Under
the Initiative and Referendum

the Initiative and Referendum
Senator Robt. L. Owen of Ok
lahoma has put this pertinent ques-
ton to the country: IF the peo-
pie rule, why don't they get what
they want 7"
His answer is, Machine poll
tics. "
What does he propose to do
about it! Three things. lie says
we must have the direct primary,
publicity of campaign funds and
the Initiative and Referendum.
In the June number of the
Twentieth Century Magazine he
writes: ''Plutocracy is the rule of
the rich; aristocracy is the rule of
the few; democracy is the rule of
the people. The Initiative and
Referendum is the essence of a
pure democracy-the rule of the
people. Under the Initiative and
Referendum the legislature tries
to meet the will of the people, but
where it fails to pass the laws the
people want, the people pass their
own laws through the Initiative.
If their representatives in the legis-
lature pass a law the people do
not want, the people veto it
through the use of the Referendum.
When the Initiative and Ref
erendum shall have been estab-
lished, it will be the open door TO
the passage of any law the people
have the patriotism and intelli-
gence to devise. The sword of
the state will no longer be in the
hands of the arrogant, despotic
eommercialism that is now shak-
ing the foundations of this coun-
try and has recently been making
a spectacle of itself In Phila-
delphia. y
The voters of Arkansas have the
direct primary and they can get
the Initiative and Referendum by
passing Amendment No. 10 next
September. No power on earth
but the votes of the people can
change the Constitution. The
Legislature has done all it could
for you by submitting the amend
ment for your decision.
Mr.. Sovereign Voter, it is now
up to you.
You have been doing a good
deal of kicking about what the
legislatures have done and have
not done, and you have said that,
on some questions at least, the
people could have done a heap
sight better themselves - havn't
you!
Well, you now have a chance to
fix your State Constitution so that
you can do a little legislating on
your own account in the future,
and incidentally let the legislature
find out that you know a good
thing when you see it.
What Amendment No. 10 needs
is not grumbling, nor even good
wishes, but VOTES.
