REPUBLICANS are reluctant to con-
Germ themselves much about govern
ment expenditures in relation to the
cost of living. But one thing is GER
tain. Government does not pick up
these hundred of millions Of dollars
il the street. This money comes
out OF somebody's pocket. Unlike
city governments. the national gov
ernment has but one way Of raising
revenue to meet expenses. and that
is by taxing things eaten. worn OF
used by the people. Hence it is that
increased. cost of living is marching
hand in-h hand with increased Repub-
lican extravaganza.

Progress in Reclamation

Il is no chimerical scheme the gov
eminent fosters in its loan Of SEQ
100000 for the completion Of reclama-
ton projects, for the soundness Of the
enterprise was thoroughly established
long before the president recon-
mended that congress make this ap-
preparation. The test was made of
the ability OF the land TO pay returns
on the investment and the land, under
the touch Of intelligent tillers, re-
sponded abundantly Now the board
of army engineers has returned its
report of the locations selected for the
expenditure Of this. $20.OOO.OOO and
the president has approved the report.
This is one Of the best aids to the
development OF the west that could
possibly be afforded. It means years
Of time saved, for the private land
owners would be a very long while
doing what the government will do in
the way Of retaining land and in
creaslng its productivity. one posi-
Dle ODblbCle 10 pIOBISSb' NhlCu tnt tu-
gineers point out, is the fact that most
Of the water supplies being under
state control, the rights to them will
have to be adjudicated. This should
be given prompt and careful attention.
| In the adjudication Of these rights lies
the possibility of almost endless con-
/ troversy Some of the older irriga-
ton enterprises of the west amply
/ testify to this fact. II the govern
ment can facilitate action on these
matters, then it will be doing an addi-
tional service of great value to its own
and private projects
! It is gratifying to know that a Ne
braska project shares in one of the
/ largest divisions of this loan-S2,0

/ this section will more than make good
on its opportunity. 1t will do its part
toward making the desert bloom as
the rose and making two blades grow

the basic principle involved in this
whole plan It is the principle of en-
pire building the creating of new
sources of wealth.
