need for money--for relieving the cot

of $135. 00e, 600 will give It extensive
securities to offer in exchange for fed

railroad rates. Our appeal for the modiica-
ton of railroad rates should be addressed
to the courts and to the Interstate Com
merce Commission, and not to the treas
ury and the River and Harbor Bills.
We should enact laws to compel the rail-
roads to cooperate with waterway COM
panies, so that boat lines may assume their
natural function as supplemental means of
transportation to our rail lines. The normal
function of internal water transportation is
to relieve railroads of bulk raw materials
and other low-grade freights, while the rail
roads should carry the more valuable and
lucrative products, which in their nature re-
quire prompt delivery.
After all that has been said in regard to
discrimination against waterways by rail-
ways, the question remains whether in
evitable advantages in the way of greater
speed in handling traffic by rail will not re-
suit in a diminished use of inland water
ways; excepting, of course, such deep chan
nels as are afforded by the Great Lakes and
in a lesser degree those rivers which can be
utilized for the transportation of large guam
titles of coarse material. For the last ten
years the tendency, at any rate, has been
decidedly in this direction. The average
haul upon rivers of even considerable size,
such as the Mississippi, has been constantly
diminishing, while through freight upon
these streams has almost disappeared.

ways of Northern France handle an enor-
nous traffic to and from Belgium, Holland,
and Germany. In the United States under
existing conditions our waterway commerce
is purely port to port, on which alone river
traffic cannot exist.
7 we are ever to have rational system of
waterway commerce in the United States,
we must at once adopt certain revolutionary
reforms. First of all the pork barrel must
CO. We must frame our river and harbor
bills with view to developing and encourag-
ing commerce, and not for promoting po-
itical fortunes. We must dig channels to
accommodate boats, and not merely to pro-
vide an excuse for spending the public
money in a congressional district, ard thus
compelling the government to underwrite
the political obligations of the members of
Congress. 1t is by such methods that we
have wasted at least one-third of Sill ,0OO,-
600 which we have expended on our rivers
and harbors in the last century.
And yet the blame for this condition does
not rest entirely with Congress. Indeed,
Congress is holding the nation in check in
the matter of expenditures. Were Congress
to keep pace with the demands made upon
it, bond issue would be inevitable and ex-
travagance would rule. The fact is that
loudy members OF congress StanQ III greater
fear of the charge of parsimony than of ex-
travagance.
Before we can hope for an improvement
of these conditions the people themselves
must learn to think of national rather than
of local interests. Congressman must be
assured that they are not improving their
chances of reelection merely by raiding the
treasury for local consumption.
This is the reason why the results in the
United States have been at once ludicrous
and shameful, because we have been spend
ing millions of dollars on rivers which begin
nowhere and end nowhere, because we have
been digging channels where there is no
water, because we have been seeking to in
stall boat lines where Nature intended that
nothing but birch canoe should go.
AS have intimated, waterway traffic on
a comprehensive scale cannot proftably be
maintained without the cooperation of the
railroads. We have spent enormous sums
to revive waterway traffic, and still the
railroads in constantly increasing degree
have carried the freight. And yet this ex-
penditure has been justified by the fam
boyant declarations that even barren streams
should be improved for the sake of lowering

this one was "swellest" in all that

fowl was cooked to perfection, as
were also the many side dishes, while

not have been prepared with more
delicacy of flavor had the premier

RECLAMATION
J. B. FLANAGAN, CANDIDATE FOR
STATE REPRESENTATIVE, BE-
LIEVES STATE RECLAMATION
OF ARID LANDS is SOLUTION
OF PARKER AND CIBOLA'S
TROUBLES.
Yuma Sum-

! j. B. Flanagan, democratic candi-
date for state representative from
Yuma county, proposes to make an
active campaign this fall in behalf of
the proposed constitutional amend
ment, which provides for the recla-
nation by the state of Arizona's arid
and semi-arid lands
Probably there is no county in the
state more interested in the initiated
state reclamation act than is Yuma
county, for at the present time there
are two important projects within the
county awaiting capital to finance the
construction of adequate irrigation
works. The largest of these is the
Parker project, which contains 1885,
900 acres of irrigable land, similar in
character to the Yuma valley. The
other one is the CIbola project, also
similar in character to the great
Yuma project.
1t has been definitely determined
Parker and Cibola projects at the
present time is through state recla-
nation, which would permit the is
suance of bonds, bearing per cent
interest The settlers would be given
twenty years in which to pay for con-
struction and water rights, the same
as is now provided for national recla-
nation projects.
The people of northern Yuma coun-
ty have advanced Mr.. Flanagan as
their candidate for state representa-
tive, believing that he is ably fitted
to represent this county in the state 4
Legislature. Mr.. Flanagan has had
over twenty years experience as a
newspaper publisher and editor. He
has devoted a number OF years in
his spare time, to the study of law
and is we'll equipped in this respect
to fill the office of state representa-
tive.
In May, 1910, he established the
Parker Post, and since that time he
has been prominently identified in
the development of northern Yuma
county Mr. Flanagan is president of
the Parker board of trade, and vice
president of the Parker Bank and
Trust company. He was one of the
delegates from Arizona to the Irriga-
tion Congress, held at Denver last
spring, and took an active part in the
deliberations of that body
The people of the north end of the
county believe that if Mr.. Flanagan
is elected to the legislature he will
be able to secure such additional leg
islation as will be necessary to put
into full working force the proposed
constitutional amendment providing
for state reclamation.
