MILLIONS FOR IRRIGATION.
President Advises Congress To Al.
thorize Bond Issue Of
$50, 900, 900.

WASHINGTON, Jan. A.-President
Taft's special message on the conser.
vation of natural resources was sent
to ngress today. It recommends .
bond Issue not exceeding o30, ,000. 900
to complete irrigation projects a.
ready begun. The president says in
part:
Congress recognized the Importance
Of artificial distribution of water on
the arid lands by the passage Of the
reclamation act. The proceeds of the
public land creates . fund to build the
works needed to furnish and store
more water and 1t was left to the sec.
retary Of the interior to determine
what projects should be selected
among those suggested and to direct
the reclamation service with the funds
at hand and through the engineers in
it's employ to construct the works.
No one can visit the far west and
the country of arid and semi. arid
lands without being convinced that
this is one of the most important
methods of conservation of our nat.
ural resources that the government
has entered upon. 1t would appear
that over thirty projects have been
undertaken and that few of them are
likely to be unsuccessful because of
the lack OF water or for other reasons,
but generally the work which has been
done has been we'll done and many
important engineering problems have
been met and solved.
One difficulty which has arisen is
that too many projects, in view of the
available funds, have been set on
foot. The funds available under the
reclaim alton statute are inadequate to
complete these projects within rea.
sonable time. And yet the projects
have been begun; settlers have been
invited to take up and in many in.
stances have taken up land within the
projects, relying upon their promp,
completion. The failure to complete
the projects for their benefit is, in ef.
feet, breach OF faith and leaves
them in q most distressing condition.
luree that the nation ought to af
ford a means to lift them out of the
very desperate condition in which
they are now. This condition does
not indicate any excessive waste, OF
any corruption on the part of the re
clamation service. 1t only indicate
an over jealous desire to extend the
benefit of reclamation to as many
acres and as many states as possible.
l recommend, therefore, that author.
ity be given to issue not exceeding
$50, 600, 900 of bonds from time to time
as the secretary of the interior shall
find it necessary, the proceeds to be
applied to the completion of projects
already begun and their proper exten-
sion, and the bonds running ten years
or more, to be taken up by the pro.
ceeds from the reclama alton fund,
which returns, as the years go on,
will increase rapidly in amount.

THE FARMER PAYS THE TAAss

THE farmer pays the taxes, is T.
truism in Oklahoma as well as o.h'
er parts OF the world. But it should
not be 50. There is only one relson
why the farmer should pay more than
his share of the taxes in Oklahoma
and that is because the farmer is
pbOut the only man in the state who
has any property. In fact if Conai-
ions were as they Should be tie
farmer would only pay half the taxes.
The burden OF taxation should ae
borne equally by all lines OF indus
tiy by farmers, miners, aud manu-.
I. cturers. The trouble with Ohlano.

Howe and appearing in Eyerybodys
Magazine Of Republican members OF
congress who by their votes in CON
gress and their influence In congress

lburdensome to The American consum-
en- Under the caption is this note
preceding the list:
The following Republicans support
Cd Cannon and Cannonism. Through
the organization OF the honse, and
the preservation OF the rules, they
are responsible for the Payne-Aldrich
tariff bill. We do not attempt to pass
upon the honesty or integrity OF
these men. nor do we know the mo-
tiyes which prompted them in sup
porting Cannonism but the roll call
finds them on the side of Privilege.
TO the voters of district familiar
with the declarations pledges or
character OF these men this record
is furnished to aid them TO a choice

confederation for the American peo-
pie as a nation.
