WILL HELP DRY

The, bill to permit "dry-!and
farmers to oleave their homesteads
for the purpose Of doing agricul-
cultural work will probably pass
the senate early is January. 1t
is argued that this measure will
relieve the labor situation in the
irrigated sections and at the same
time give the homesteader an op-
portunity to earn stake.
The Interior department has
approved a bill which if enacted
will enable the government to
hasten the work Of resurveying
so badly needed in eastern Colo
RADIO and other sections Of the
West. Under the existing reg
ulations the government will not
resurvey a township unless a.
least fifty per cent of tha land is
unpatented The new bill pro-
vides that a resurvey may be or
dered in any township where the
land owners agree to pay their
prorate share of the expense.
The cost would be normal-some
where between five and ten cents
an acre. There will be little op-
position to the measure.

Washington Letter
BY Edward Keating

There is great deal Of peace
talk current in Washington these
days. Each man has his pet not
ion of the terms on which the
great conflict should be brought
to a elise. :
To my mind the San Francisco
Chronicle in the following editor
,ial has stated the basic principle
ION which an enduring peace may
be founded:
Armies and navies must go".
Nothing else will satisfy any
Democracy" which pays the
bills and sheds the blood.
And when armies and navies
are gone all other questions are
easy of settlement.
IF this war have any justifi-
cation in the minds Of mankind
It Is that it is fought in order to
Immediately. completely and for
ever wipe off the face Of the
Earth the slightest semblance of
mill. .arism. and take measure
which will forever prevent any
possibility of q return of the hor-
rid system
If the statesmen of the allied
nations will give to the world
thai kind Of a clean-cut declara-
ton every one will know what
we are fighting for The great
/ mass Of the people are not inter-
este ! in the rearranxemsnt Of
bound aries or the redistribution
of colonies.
But they are vitally interested
in the over throw and complete
destruction of the system which
has sent their sons to the trench
es.
THE FORTUNATE FEW
The report of the commiss ioner
of Internal revenue for the last
year contains some suggestive
figures.
There are 17.O85 persons in
this country whose income exceed
$50. 600 year. The total income
OF, this little group is approx
mately So, 100, 600. 900 a year-or
an average of about $4,000 a
month for each of the favored
few.
There are 582 persons with a
total income of $500. 900. 600 a
year.
There are 10 persons with
total income of $1O0, 600. 600 a
year. 5,atr4ss
Not less than eighty per cent
of these excessive incomes should
no into the federal treasury for
the per cd Of the war. That
would leave the fortunate 17.085
with average incomes of 81 600
4 month. That would be enough
to keep the wolf from the door!
