CONFERENCE ON IRRIGA,
.S.- :. TON.

The conference Of Western
Governors and others interested
in irrigation which will convene
in Denver on April Gil, is Of the
utmost Importance. The gather
ing was called at the suggestion
of Secretary of the Interior, Lane
and it was hoped that he would
be able to attend. Unfortunate-
ly this has been found to be fim-
possible, and Hon. A. A. Jones.
of New Mexico, First Assistant
Secretary of the Interior, will
represent the Federal Govern
ment. Jones is a broad-guaged
Westerner who wants to see the
public domain pass into the
hands of actual home makers.
The conference will consider
some projects of particular inter-
est to Coloradans. One Of these
will be the plan for draining the
San Luis Valley. Secretary
Jones has agreed to give this
enterprise his personal attention
while in the West and it is to be
hoped that he will approve it.
The people of the San Luis
have made a very generous prop
osition to the Reclamation Ser
vice. They ask Uncle Sam to
construct the main drainage ca
nails while the land owners bear
the burden of constructing the
auxiliary drains. This is fair
and should be-accepted.

Due to the appeal Of Miss Char

Arapahoe. Colo, Mrs Mary c..
Bradford, state superintendent
of public instruction, will send
out letters to the various school
boards of the state urging an in
crease in the salaries of first
grade teachers in the rural dis
tricts of Colorado as the first
move in a campaign towards that
end to be waged for the next
School election in May.
In a letter to Mrs. Bradford,
Miss Alternately says that eight
grade graduates, given third
grade teachers certificates in
the te: chers' examinations, teach
in the rural districts at the same
sarliaries received by first grade
teachers with normal training,
and from six to twenty years
experie ence, and that as a result,
first lass teachers are leaving
the r, raj schools and their pos:-
tions are filled by inexperienced

In the country districts, she
writes, the services of experienc-
ed and competent instructors are
more badly nee1ed than in any
other sections of the state. The

is history now. The struggle has
been transferred to the Senate.
It requires no prophet to foretell
the result. The Shipping Trust
will lose, and the President will
win.
The more the Presidents posi-
tion on this question is discussed
the stronger it becomes. The
first test vote came in the House
on Friday March 27, and we won
by the narrow margin Of %
votes. The Presidents oppon-
ents were jubilant. They thought
they might be able to overcome
that lead. After four days of
acrimonious debate another test
vote wos taken, and behold, the
Presidents lead had increased to
Sc votes! The majority has treb-
led in three days.
Only 8 Republicans and no
Progressives voted with the Pres
ident on the first vote. Twenty
five Republicans and two Pro-
gressives went with him Oh the
final vote.

selves, but even more significant

of this issue.
WHAT IS BACK OF IT?
In some quarters it is suggest
ed that there is more at stake in
this toll fight than appears on the
surface. 1t is limited that sinis-
ter influence are at work to block
the Presidents program of anti
trust legislation, and that the
hull-aballoo over canal tolls is
merely a clever ruse to divert
public attention from the main
issue.
We will soon have an opportu-
nifty to discover what there is to
this theory for the antitrust bills

with full set of teeth.
Will gentlemen who antago, :

PRICE OF WOOL.
Sometime last summer L took
occasion in one of these letters to
say that the placing OF wool on
the free list would not affect the
price received by the sheep men,
Atthat time there was consider
able apprehension concerning the
future Of the wool market and l
warned the sheep men not to be
deceived by the lugubrious proph-
ecies of the wool buyers, but to
insist on the old price.
Developments have fully sus-
tained my position. This years
clip will command the usual
prices. The truth is that one of
the crying needs of the wool bus
ir ess in this country is the stand
ardization of products. The for
eign wool growers are far ahead
of us in that particular. They
have been operating in a free
trade market where competition
was keen and where the success
full man availed himself of the
Improvements suggested by sci
ence and experience. Our wool
growers, on the other hand, have
been placing their faith in a pro-
tective tariff which did not pro-
tect them. the result has been
that foreign wool growers have
frequently been able to get bet
ter prices in a free trade market
than our wool growers have OBJ
tained in protected" market
For more than 25 years Will
lam j. Bryan apd other Demo-
cratic leaders have contended
that the tariff on wool was a fake
and fraud, that it did not bene-
fit the sheepmen but. afforded ali
excuse for outrageous tariffplaced
on woolen goods, thus enriching
the WOODEN trust. Now their
contentious are being verified.
At the same time the eyes of
the farmers are being opened.
wheat is on the free list and
the price OF wheat is not affect

corn commands the old price. It
IS true that Argentine sent US a
couple of ship loads of corn a few
weeks ago and our Republican
friends proclaimed. the fact from
the housetops. The scare affect
ed the market temporarily, and
then it was found that Argentine
corn was of very poor quality,
and could not POSSIBLY compete
with the American grain. So the
farmer is gradually coming to
understand that he has been the
goat in this tariff business. He
