Governor Joseph NJ. Carey of Wyom-

Irrigation Congress, which holds its
18th session in Chicago, December S
to g. Governor Carey adds, The irri-
CATION congresses have been one of
the greatest factors in advancing irri-
cation Investigations and the promo.
ton of irrigation enterprises.
The congresses do not vote money
nor inaugurate the building of dams
reservoirs and canals, but they do
bring together scientists, experts and
practical men, which results in the
education of the uniformed, and in
creating sound public sentiment on
the questions affecting the reclama-
tion of the desert lands of the United
States.
The irrigation question is one Of
the most important affecting the states
and territories west of the Missouri
river, It becomes a great economic
question to all the people of the Unit
cd States. Nothing else has done as
much to bring about the present fav-
'rable conditions as the irrigation
They have done a great
work, but the work has just begun.
These irrigation congresses should be
encouraged, supported and widely at
ended, and no progressive man can
Ifford to neglect them"

'arey act is named, was president Of

Oklahoma City, Feb. 1S.-When the

remove county officials for negligence
in enforcement of the prohibition law.
On the contrary, the bill as perfected.

very bitter fight centered about the

were made by Senators Hatchett of
Durand and Redwine of McAlester.
The latter opposed the vesting power
in the executive.
Hatchett cited the case of federal
appointees who are required to 60 to
Washington to answer charges and
submitted that it would be equally
fair to require county officials to come
to Oklahoma City for a hearing.
Weighing a trial by the governor
against a trial by Judge, Hatchett
asserted the man elected by the whole

that in Oklahoma City state officers
had confiscated beer and resold it to
jointists. Some times, he asserted. the
beer had even been confscated and

While Governor Cruce was not so
successful in the senate Friday his
views on the personnel of the state
banking board were adopted, and the
house finally passed the Roddie bill
by a vote of SS to IL.
The differences between the bill as
passed by the house today and its
form when the senate adopted it more
than two weeks ago, are slight, with
one exception. The banking board is
not permitted to issue emergency
paper to take up the deposits of i'm
paired banks.
The banking board will consist of
the governor and two members ap-
pointed by him, experienced bankers
without interest in any bank at the
time of their service on the banking
board.
