The Reclamation Matter.

There has probably been no better exposition of reclamation affairs in this valley yet given the public than that given in a communication from Dwight B. Heard which will be iound on another page of The Republican. Also, it may be said. the people of the valley are getting a clearer cOncep- tion Of what should be done to solve the problems that have been con fronting them with reference to the payment of the government assess ment and the management of the affairs relating to the reclamation service in this valley
 This matter has been the subject of general discussion for many months; but the interest has been accentuated by the perfecting of an organization by a large number of farmers who have demanded an in vestigatiOn of the work of the recla- nation service on the theory that the work has been eXtravagant. and that congress or some department of the government should take action look ing to correction of the alleged wrongs
 That matter was discussed at some length on former occasion and it seems to The Republican, as it did in the beginning. that one of the most crying needs Of the hour is the taking of such steps as will, at the earliest possible date. place in the hands of the persons in interest, that is to say, the farmers themselves, the management of the project
 The consummation of this plan and the conduct of the service on a proper business basis will remove one of the insstent objections to the present state of affairs. It will assure economy and efficiency of manage ment. And even from the standpoint of the government, it is a little diff ficult to see how there can be objec- ton. The liens of the government are already established and the gov ernment would be as safe under that proposition as under the present plan And as a matter of simple justice since the farmers have to pay the bills. they should have the privilege Of managing. in their own way. the business on which the money for the payment of those bills depends.
 Then, there is another point that is sometimes overlooked. Is there either reason or justice in saying the payments on the project shall start before the farmers shall begin re- ceiving the benefits from the pro- ject? Assuredly not It is hardly conceivable that men who may be receiving only a limited quantity of water for their land shall he re-

quired to begin paying forthwith for something from which they have, as vet. received the maximum benefit.
 Then, there is the question of ex- tension The Republican has little doubt this extension will he eventu- ally granted If a policy of reason and fairness is followed it will have to be squeezing" process will benefit nobody: least of all would 1t benefit the government of the United States. A simple amendment to the existing act, as previously pointed out bv The Republican, would seem to cover the case It is hardly to be supposed that that amendment will not be made It is thing that would be expected in q business deal between individuals; and surely the caf hardly afford to pro- ceed on lower level than that.

 NEW YORK, March 5-For the first two hours today traders in the stock market busied themselves buy ing and selling United States Steel. The trading was the largest for any day of the year. Steel, which re- sumed the leadership, made de- cided gain, as did Union Pacific. which was second in demand. The movement of other stocks was also large and trading soon encOmpassed nearly the entire list. In the after noon activity died down, and the final prices of Steel, Union Pacific Reading and Smelling. were a point below the best for the day, but the closing undertone was strong On the surface there was little to ac- count for the pronounced change London advices were that labor trou- bles were making themselves more acutely felt. In connection with trading in Steel it was rumored d group of prominent traders, who were previously on the bull side, had arranged q pool. COincident with this was the circulation of rumOr dealing with the forthcoming state ment of the corporations thrilled tonnage for February and dividend prospects for the current quarter.

The Mill Workers.

The Republican has no admiration for Victor Berger. socialist congress- man from Wisconsin. It thinks the spectacular methods he employs, even suppOsing his cause good one. would ordinarily defeat his ob- feet. But the other day in Wash ington when Berger refused to per init d girl striker from one of the Lawrence textile mills to accept charity from a mill owner on the ground that it was blood money" he did what appears to have been eN- actly right.
 The Republican knows nothing or this particular mill owner. but 1t knows d great deal about the Ameri- can Woolen Mill company, which is one of the concerns engaged in this labor war. Also. it knows something about the conditions prevailing in Lawrence among the people who have managed thus far to keep soul ana body together on the miserable pit tance paid them by their employers IT knows also that the New England textile business is and has been an enormously profitable business. Ana when all these things are considered no honest man can come to any other conclusion than that the policy pur- sued bv these mill owners, or at least by some of them. has been sim nlv infamous. And when Victor Berger called these profits blood money" he wasn't far from the truth
 Take a glance at the facts. Boys sixteen wears old, able to do almost the work of men, are paid little more than 50 cents a day. Nine dol lars a week is almost the limit Tor heads of families And men and wo- men are expected to he virtuous and honorable. bring families into the world. and feed, clothe. and educate their children on miserable pittance like that.
 And the wretchedly small amount of wages is not all. Children wh" were able to earn only few cents each day of nine hours were forced 10 pav this enormously wealthy com many five cents a day for drinking water. and the water wasn't fit for decent human being at that.
 Of course. the sleek, well fed miii owners haven't the time to think about these things. They endow hospitals. rent pews in fashionable churches, send their children to pri- vate schools and colleges And part of the money with which the bllls are paid is made up of the nickeis that other children, just as good as theirs. are compelled to pay for nn- clean drinking water
 If the money eXacted from worK- ing men and women and children under these circumstances lsh ..blood money" what is it?

Four more days of the spirited con- rict for the Mitchell Touring Car cold and trips offered by The Arizona penubIican. and then the winners will bo decided The rivalry is intense during these closing days, as the cor testants and their friends are Work- inc to the limit of energy to bring their votes to winning proportions

Nothing avails at this stage or the conflict to deter the contestants in their onward march to victory They know the road, and what the earlier entrants who were forced to relinqush the field to these splen- didly aggressive ones regarded as ob- stacles are now used IS stepping stones to victory
 Finish Will Be Memorable.
 Jrp early and out late. utilizing every spare moment, candidates and friends are securing every possible avenue in determined effort to build up a reserve vote of victorious proportions.
 Every known method of subscrip- tion getting is being pressed into service Letters are being written, telephones kept humming, number less personal calls being made, and the work of the candidates the final four days will be memor able in the annals of contest history.
 Such untiring energy and activity could not fail to produce splendid results. The total vote boiled at the close of the contest is likely to be a revelation to even the wisest of campaign managers and candidates. It is impossible to estimate what the final vote will be. for each candidate has learned the value of q judicious silence IS to the actual result of his or her efforts, although they are united in their expression of satis- faction at the results they have achieved.
 The final outcome will be awaited with an anxious expectancy by the candidates and campaign managers alike. hoping, trusting and meantime working to achieve victory.
