'rnanent appropriations

The postal service estimate is de-
ductable from the total because its re-
ceipts are turned back to the treas

actual total Of appropriations Con
gress is asked to make. Or $1G7 $685.
4O1 more than last year.
Not single establishment of the
government asked for less than was
given last year. Many requests were
made for increases because of devel-
opments of the war in Europe.
The administrations estimate Of
military and naval expenditures, in
cluding the first years cost of the
new national defense program, asks
for $152,354,259 for the army and
$2l1 ,51S074 for the navy.
For the two branches the increase
asked over the appropriations last
year is about $124,OOO, 900 exclusive of
the amounts for fortifications and

to the department specialists, drain
age in the United States is only fairly

are but little known. Farmers Bulle-
tin No. 524 of the United States de-

Lands that are too wet for the most

wet level land. low spots, and the dry
subsoils Of fiat areas on the submits

uplands may often be drained with
profit, especially hillsides subject to
erosion or inclined to be 'spouty." In
deed, drainage is profitable wherever
it is necessary to the fullest use of the
land. 1t is not uncommon for lands
too wet for cultivation to produce,
when drained. 60 to 20 bushels of corn
or oats or from one to one and half
bales of cotton to the acre. On much
of the drained land the increase of
yield is from % to 100 per cent, and
by the increased yield and decreased
cost of cultivation the value of the
land is often doubled.
improves the Soil.
Drainage improves the physical con-
dition of the soil by making it more
porous and friable. Thus stiff soils
are made more easy to work. The
roots of plants are given a greater
feeding depth by the lowering of the
water level and hence the ability of
crops to utilize moisture is increased.
Well-drained soils absorb more rain.

creasng erosion and damage by floods.
Drainage warns the soil. Heat
from the sun acts directly upon the
soil when excessive moisture is re-
moved by drainage. This is notice
able in the North, where the planting
season is from one to two weeks
earlier on drained land than on sim
liar land when undrained. The dan

Denver, Dec 7.-Denver must be-
come dry" on Jan. /, according to
the ruling of the Supreme Court in
its decision in the home rule liquor
ease rendered Monda. morning.
The decision was rendered en- banc
by the court, the opinion having been
written by Chief Justice Gabbert.
The court held that the Denver
charter, drawn under provisions OF the
twentieth. or home rule, amendment
to the state constitution, does not
serve to exempt this city from the
scope of the statewide prohibition
amendment adopted by vote of the
people Nov. 3, 1914 and the prohibit
ton enforcement statute passed by the
Legislature last winter in conformity
The case was taken to the Supreme
Court by agreement between the at,
tOrney general and the city attorney
to determine the legality of the ac-
tton of the Denver city council in
granting liquor licenses extending be
yond Jan. |, 1916, when the state wide
prohibition amendment becomes effec
tive.
Tie city council granted the IL
ccnses in accordance with the amend
ment to the city charter adopted al
the municipal election last sprin".
known as the home-rulc for liquo:
amendment. Upon petition OF the at
torney general and city attorney the
Supreme Court in September agreed
to take original jurisdiction in the
case on the ground that the issue II.
volved was Of. great pu!.lic interea It
and should be determined before the
first of the year.
A writ Of certiorari was issued by
the court directing the City to show
cause why it should not be ordered to
cancel the liquor licenses issued by ii
and extending beyond that date.
The contention of the attorneys TO
the city was that the home rule
amendment to the constitution Civ, 5
Denver and other cities similarly or.
ganized exclusive right to regulate
their local and municipal affairs. This
right was not abridged or repealed
with regard to the regulation OF the
liquor traffic by the prohibition amend
ment, it was contended.
The state took the position that the
regulation of the sale Of liquor is a
/ police power and that the exercise Of
police power is vested within the state
alone and cannot be delegated to any
unit of government within the state
Such a right as that claimed by Der
yer, the states attorneys argued
would be recognizing the authority OF
a state within the state, which is pro.
hibited by the federal constitution.
| 1t was also contended by the state
that the repeating clause of the pro.
hibition amendment repealed anything
in the twentieth, or home rule. amend,
ment which might be construed tc
give this authority to Denver or other

In the decision all liquor licenses ex.
| tending into 1916 are determined a

council to cancel those running after

Practical System.
The most practical drainage system
is one that is adequate, permanent,
uses the least possible land, and is
drains which empty into either open
or closed outlets most nearly provide
such a system. BY the open-ditch sys-
tenn r,uch valuable land is occupied,
the drainage is seldom thorough. and
the bitches become filed and have to
be cleaned out. Open bitches some
tines occupy as much as ten per cent
and frequently five per cent of the
area drained Thus it is that tile
drains. while more expensive to ill.,
stall, are generally the most econom-
ical in the erd.
In having out drainage system,
the outlet is the first consideration.
On rolling or hiliy lands channels
have usually been washed out. al
though they may need to be straight.
ened and cleaned out. On low, level
land it is usually necessary to Gig
open bitches, and they should be
straight ard deep. since curves check
