COTTON $ NEED

(Special to The Repuplicanl

FORT WORTH, Tex, Oct. 9.-In a memorial to congress issued today. entitled The American Farmer and His Government" H. N. Pope, presi- dent of the association of State Far mers Union, favoIs protection on all agricultural products, declares that no country can thrive half protected and half free. insists that there is no suca thing as a hyphenated tariff and asks that cotton be protected by a twelve cent minimum loan from the govern ment The memorial which goes into m exhaustive analysis of the subject. says in part; "The cotton producer is the only class of farmer who has all ways been compelled to sell what ie produced on flee market and Duy what he consumed on q protected market and as a consequence, the cotton fields of the south have more tenants, more poverty and more suf- fering than any other agricultural area on the western hemisphere. This condition should challenge. but no: | baffle, American statesmanship. l No matter what ones views may 1 be on the government, policy of protection or free trade all will agree | that no country can reach its highest | degree of prosperity half protected | assist all industries or none.

Initial steps for the construction of diversion dam to eliminate the flood conditions in the Queen Creek section were taken up yesterday when a delegation of farmers of that com munity, representatives of the Water Users, and County Engineer Harold Rargman, presented the situation to the board of supervisors and the reclamation service.
 The loss by floods in the past three years has been estimated at $50,0 ,000 and the sufferers have been the in- diVidual land owners, the county by damage to it's roads and the reclama- tion service through it's canals. Since the protective work will directly benef- it all three, there is some talk of having the triangle stand the prob able cost, which will be $12,000, all though it might reach $15,000.
 This will be determined after the survey is made by County Engineer Bargman, who under the orders of the board of supervisors, will take up this phase of the work immediately.
 After the board took this action the delegation waited upon Project Manager w. M. Cone of the reclma tion service, and the result of this meeting was a formal resolution to Mir. Cone petitioning the reclamation service to cooperate with the county in diverting the water to it's original channel The scheme of the county engineer and Engineer w. R. Elliot of the Water Users is to construct a diversion dam.
 In presenting the matter to the board of supervisors, o. H. Kunce member of the board of council of the Water Users and a farmer in the flooded area, stated that it would be a good investment for the county as the county roads were impossible owing to the floods. He said he was

only one man. but that each of the
 tWenty-one men represented, rep
 resented full that twentytimes there number. He said for more than a year they had tried to get action or help and that the country was now
 so torn up that they would either have to have assistance or leave.
 We took up the land in good faith" he said.
 Had the flood protection been pro- vided a year ago the cost would
 have been $5,000, according to the
 farmers who taking into consideration
 that the cost this year will be more than double that figure believe that i the time has now come when the county and reclamation service can
 not offord to overlook the repair work
 from a business stand point.
 Chairman Luke, of the board of supervisors, declared that it was too ! big problem to act on at once,
 but that the data and cost would be forthcoming shortly That the county could not entirely handle the situa- tion was made clear at once, and with this information the delegation made its appeal to the reclama ton
 service. At the same time the gov ernment was given to understand by | the various speakers that it was in need of protection itself. The canals l SO the farmers said were filling up with weeds and brush. and there were breaks made by the flood waters 1 that were sadly in need of repair l F. F. Roddis, attorney for the recla- | nation service, was present at the meeting and offered many sugges- ] tiOns that were acted upon in the
 way of advancing the scheme | President John Orme of the Water 1 Users, was alo present, and his en-
 gineer MT. Elliott, who will act with
 the county engineer in the engineer ' ing investigations.

That the meetings arranged for the women will be largely attended is certain. Not all who listen to the addresses of the speakers will with their views but this is essentially campaign in which the cleo torae is thinking and the voter is not hearing arguments bearing upon all phases of the situation.

Submarine Operations Nearby

We still cannot quite see why the submarine U-53 put in at Newport R. L, last Saturday. She needed nothing for the destructive work in which she about to engage. The announcement of her presence it certain, would be flashed along the and the that many of the intended victims would seek the ee-me safety change their from the ordinarily travelled lanes. If the submarine had quietly hidden along the ocean path she could have picked off one unsuspecting enemy vessel after another.
 So it appears that she made her presence this side of the Atlantic either in spirit of humor- bravado knowing that she would still find plenty of victims; else, is dimly suggested in the dis patches of yesterday morning, Commander Rose of the submarine wanted to notify Rear Admiral Knight to get his destroyers ready for there would be bus for those ambuances of the This suggestion seems the more reasonable in view of the fact that the dstroyers all ready on receipt of the first that a single British vessel had been torpedoed all of them for the scene.
 The London Morning Chronicle is inclined to pick quarrel with the United States over the matter but there is cause for quarrel A port of the United States made a base of operations of the sub marine The vessel called at Newport as any war vessel of a bellgerent nation may do and remain twenty hours. The U-53 remained three hours Even if Commander Rose had appraised Admiral
  chantmen 1t would have been a grossly unneutral act for the admiral to pass that information on to the allies. It was to prevent just such things this government took charge of the wireless stations in the early days of the war.
 lt hinted also in the dispatches yesterday morning that continuance of the operations of the U53 or of a fleet of submarines near the American coast might lead to complications that we might have to object to them blockade. Yet we have permitted more of a blockade for the last two years cordon of allied warshOps has stretched along the coast just outside the three mile limit and during the long stay of the Deutschland at Baltimore the warships were nearly always visible. Indeed it was charged that they invaded the three mile zone at that time.
 As to the proximity of the destructive operations of the submarine, that make difference so long as they carried outside of the zone It is the same o us if vessel is sunk four miles off shore as if it were sunk 4.000 miles awasy
 But t is not likely that these operations will be long continued the coast Within short time the sea will be alive with allied craft submarines torpedo boats and destroyers that all sea lanes will be closely guarded at this end

Women for Huqhes

The special train carrying hundred or more women on the transcontinental campaign in behalf of Hughes will arrive in Arizona next week. The pre- Vailng sentiment of the of the party was concsely summarized the other day by Dr. Katherine B. Davis commissioner of corrections and member of the board of parole of New York city She said: l am for Hughes because believe the present emer- gency demands man of his intellectual and moral size As a public official under his administration know his firm courage. his unshaken devotion to aud able ideals and his ability in the administration of government"
 While the plan of making an extended campaign tour with only women speakers is unique and indeed quite unprecedented in this country, no doubt this innovation will be warmly welcomed. In several of the states through which the are passing women are entitled to vote for presidential electors as well as Tor candidates for state and local offices

OILlNG DIRT ROADS

There are 2,333,000 miles of public
 roads in the United States. of which only 262,400 miles have any kind of surface. In other words, nearly S9 per cent of our roads are dirt roads, and it will be quarter of a century, probably, before this percentage is reduced to D. The great road prob
 lem of the United States is to grade. drain and maintain these roads so as to make them of the best prac
 ticable use at a minimum annual ex-
 pense Some progress along these lines is evident. and in some sec tions very satisfactory earth roads have been built and are maintained in good condition, except for a few weeks r spring. by intelligent drag ging Another method of mainten- ance. originating in California, is now being tried with more or less l success in a number of the central states. This is oiling the roads. Its | purpose is to suppress dust. for ir SO doing the road surface will remain | smooth longer than when the road is | dusty, and there is less mud formed in wet weather. But oiling roads has l to be done intcllisently or it will make conditions worse instead of better. II l is useless to oil dirt roaG which is

 plish that, but it will prevent the
 disbursement of the earth particles

 be used, for there are some kinds
 which act as lubricants and ruin a
 a road instead of improving it. This kind of maintenance of earth roads is proving so successful in the cen tral state that the Illinois State High way Commission has recently issued | for free distribution a profusely illus trated bulletin telling how to do it | and what things to avoid doing.
