Think Parties Will Reunjte

Confirmation of the judgment Of
sagacious politicians in Congress that
events were drifting toward a coali-
ton OF the Republican and Bull Moose
parties is to be found in the result of
the recent conference at Oyster Bay.
Col. Roosevelt and a number Of his
Progressive lieutenants, realizing the
futllity of conducting an independent
Bull Moose campaign in New York
state this fall, virtually decided to
endorse Republican candidates on the
State ticket whose aims and aspira-
lions ccmported to bull moose ideas.
The inference drawn from the news
from Oyster Bay is that there may
be an exchange of Endorsements be-.
tween the two parties, and both Re-
publicans and Progrcssives may be
put on the ticket
This was the most cheering news
which has reached Republicans I'M Con
gress for many day. To their minds
1t foreshadows an eventual merger
between the rank and file of the G..
.. F. and the boiling bull moose. in
which the Progressive leaders by very
force OF circumstances must sooner or
later acquiesce
While tho New York program has
not yet been entirely worked out, it is
anticipated that concessions will be
made whereby certain of the .'old
guard will retire from the firing line
in the interest Of harmonizing the two
clements that formerly constituted
the Republican party The New York
Democracy is confronted with a dis.
NAL prospect in the fall, and the wis
dom OF adjusting their differences has
become obvious to the G. O. P. and
bull moose leaders. Undoubtedly thu
example set by New York will be fol.
lowed in other states and the dream
OF Republican, politicians of a reunited
party may be realized before the 1916
national campaign.

Breaks in Minidoka system

reports are coming to Washington
to the effect that there arc quite a
number of breaks in the Minidoka IT,
rlgatlon system, and the settlers, as
a result, are becoming alarmed for
fear the distributing system will not
be in shape to deliver water this sea-
son. Senator Brady. however, who
has had the matter before the Dc
partment fer scme time, has been
assured by the Secretary that every
thing will be done to place the en-.
tire system in perfect order. Ensi-
neers are already On the ground, as
a result of former conference which
Senator Brady had with Secretary
Lane, to investigate the matter and
report with recommendations, which
will receive immediate attention at
the Interior Department.

Dy senator Brady, is visiting in Wash
ington a few days before taking up
his work att the U. S. Military AGA
DENY.
Under special rule the house Of
representatives will, within few days
begin consideration of five so-called
conservation bills, the most important
Of which is known as the twenty year
reclamation extension bill. This bill
gives settlers on government projects
twenty years in which to pay for their
water and relieves them Of any pay
ment at the end of their first, second
and third years. The other four
bills are the Alaska coal leasing bill,
general bill providing for the leas-
ing of coal, oil, gas and phosphate
lands in the United States; bill
providing for the development CT watet
power on the public domain, and the
radium bill. The Borah bill amend
ing the cultivation clause of the Home
stead act, by providing that settlers,
in lieu of cultivation, may establish
good faith by showing permanent i'm
provements of their lands to the ex-
tent Of $3.50 per acre, is not includ-
ed in the so-called conservation pro-
gram, and unless this program is en-
larged, there will be no legislation
enacted this session for the relief
of the homesteader. Not a single
bill to aid the homesteaders of the
West has been enacted into law this
session." said Senator Brady, in dis.
cussing the legislative situation "The
Senate has passed the Borah bill
amending the cultivation clause If
the homestead act, but the House
committee on Public Lands has flat
ly refused to report, or even consider
that bill, and has likewise refused to
consider any other bills designed to
assist the hcmesteader or make his
burden lighter An amendment to the
homestead law, such as proposed by
the Borah bill, is Of far more i'm
portance to the West than some of
the other bills which have been an.
proved for consideration, and l am
strongly hopeful that the western
delegations may get together in the
not distant future, and force considera
ton OF homestead legislation, along
with leasing bills of various types.
The homesteader, in a great many
instances, finds it impossible to com.
ply with the cultivation clause, and
IN many instances may lose his entry
because OF his inability to cultivate
his land as fast as the law requires.
This is unjust, and there is no good
reason why Congress should not, while
considering other land legislation, pass
at least one bill fer the relief of tho
homcsteader.' Senator Brady is salts.

bill will become law within the next
