cIared Mr.. Jones I'VE should Tighten
the financial burden upon the settlers

you can't raise cheap money without
good security
The assistant secretary suggested
combined action by states and by the
federal government particularly in IL
nancing large irrigation enterprises
which ordinarily have difficulty in en-
listing individual capital
AT the conclusion Of Mr.. Jones's ad-
dress considerable time was taken Sc

invitation to all persons interested in
irrigation, and that the meetings were
open to all It appeared that official
delegates from about Is states were
in attendance.
Clash Occurs Over Procedure.
a sharp clash over methods of pro-
cedure developed between state and
federal officials in the meeting pre-
liminary in the opening of the irriga-
ton conference. While the thrOng of
DELEGATES TANNED the senate chamber
at the state house, then moved into
more cOmmOdiOus quarters in the
house chamber, the western governors
and officials of the department of the
interior engaged in vigorous discus
sion on procedure.
Several governors suggested that ac-
tive participation in the sessions be
limited to the delegates appointed by
the various states and by the depart
ment Of the interior. It was urged
that to throw the discussions open to
all who might wish to be heard would
lead to limitless speech making and
Scant results.
This view brought instant opposition
from Clay Tallman, commissioner OF
the general land office.
Discussions to Be Divided.
Secretary Lane has named some 25
delegates to this conference" he said,
"and I have caused notices to be
printed in the newspapers that anybody
who has anything to say will be heard.
don't propose to have these people
chOked off if I can help it."
Governor West Of Oregon suggested
that Mr.. Tallman might hear the
speeches of the outsiders. in the alb
senCe of the governors and state dele
gates. It finally was decided to con-
fine the day sessions to a regular pro-
gram, to be arranged later and to hold
night meetings at which discussions
should be open to all.

CITY AND COUNTRY.

! 6 ~ + ~ :.
The Importance and signif
canoe of organized community eff
fort are evidenced nowhere more
clearly than by consideration
of the recent census figures deal
ing with the urban and rural
population Of the United States.
According to the conclusions Of
the census authorities, there are
some 100000 people living OUT
side of cities, while approximate
ly 100000 people find their
residences within municipal
limits. Even were this a fair
and just proportion it is evi-
dent that any subject Of vital
moment to 100000 people is
by all means worthy of close at
tention.
But the figures of the census
do not tell the whole story and
assume, therefore, comparison
quite unfair and unjustiied.
Only those people dwelling In
towns Of population greater than
5000 are classed as living in
the city. lt=may readily be seen,
therefore, that this arbitrary line
of division is no criterion by
which to judge the relative i'm
portance of city and country.
There are literally thousands
Of towns and villages all over
the United States with popu-
lation considerably less than
5000 which are true civic en-
titles. They have their own gov
eminent; they administer their
own water supply, lighting sys-
tenn and education, and, in short,
they exercise every function of
self rule enjoyed by the metrop-
oils. .-~-a-.........-s....
1t may safely be assumed,
therefore, that the majority Of
the inhabitants Of the United
States lead an urban existence,

The growth in wealth and popula-
ton and the; remarkable progress of
Minnesota in agricultural and scien-
tific directions have contributed to-
ward throwing a tremendous burden
upon our courts. The number of
cases demanding attention has in
creased steadily and rapidly until it
has become almost superhuman task
for the judges to keep up with their
work. This condition is we'll illus
trated by the volume of work pour
ing in upon the highest court of the
state. The last legislature, realizing
this and being powerless in the face
Of our state constitution to increase
the court, provided for placing be-
fore the people at the coming cleo
ton constitutional amendment, de-
signed to tighten this burden and in
surfing to litigants a more speedy de-
termination of their troubles. This
amendment provides for the addition
of two justices to the present bench
and carries no additional appropria-
ton of money. 1t is meritorious.
