development is so vast as to sOutpace
the imagination. This great work is not
a measure for the benefit of the Unit
ed States alone, nor merely for the
joint benefit of the United States and
Canada for it would be Of incompar-
able benefit to the entire civilized
world
"What about the fifth billion saved?
In the Far West large tracts of arid
lands have been redeemed and made
fruitful as farming districts through
the magic Of irrigation accomplished
by the aid of the government in build
ing the nece Ssary dams to store water
for the use of the farms, while the
electrical power developed by the wa
ter as it is drawn from the reservoirs
for purposes of irrigation furnishes
the energy for lighting and transpor-
tation over large districts. Little has
yet been done, however, compared
with what remains undone."
II asked the Department OF the In
terror what could be done in the way
of reclamation of the arid regions Of
the West for farming purposes by the
use of billion dollars and | received
from that department a statement
which / can do no better than to quote
here:
eff the sum of $1O,OO0,00O could be
made available for expenditure in the
next ten years, this could be used to
reclaim lands in the arid region at a
cost of from 500 to $500 per acre
and wet and cut-over lands in the
East and South at cost of from $75
to $125 per acre. Settlers could be
placed on these lands and furnished
with loans at low rates of interest on
long time for improvements and equip
ment. The lands might be assumed
to be distributed as follows:
100000 acres of arid
land at $50 per acre. $3OO,OOO,OOO
100000 acres Of wet
cut-over land at 500
per acre 4OO,OOO,OOO

Aliens Arriving Here Prefer Work in
Factories to Going to the Land


The immigration problem, in regard to which we
are feeling so much anxiety, did not begin to
bother until less than thirty years ago. 1t was at
the start, land problem. From the foundation Of
the republic to 1890 most of our immigrants went to
the land on arriving in America, immigration did not
become problem until the desirable and accessible
lands had been occupied cornered Up to that time

LABOR SAVERS

There are many individuals and some
organizations who do what they can to
prevent the adoption of labor-saving de-
vices, on the theory that each such ma
chine dispenses with hand labor and
throws men out of work A striking illus
tration of labor saving contrivances was
furnished recently at Lake Superior
dock where 1882 tons of iron ore was
loaded into vessel in 16 1-2 minutes, or
at the rate of 1000 tons in every 1.3 min
utes. Many days would have been required
to handle the ore by men equipped with
ehovels, but that does not mean that the
men have been thrown out of employ
,lent by the use of machinery. Their la
Dor has been set free to engage in other
lies of work where Muscular effort is
sso7tial and ALWAYS will be. Falmoinr,
'1al 'linino. road construction. and the
'uilding trades are some Of the indus
lies that REQUIRE personal attention to
details. Meanwhile the introduction OF

equal to the increase in the regis

CITIZENSHIP VS. PARTIsIANsHIP

The Box Elder News discusses the
above subject in well written editorial
in its last issue, The principal reason for
the comments is the fact that in the COM
ing election Brigham City will have a
Democratic and Republican ticket in the
field from which to choose. The News
decries the "party" system in small town
elections, claims that the non-partisian-
ship administration of Brigham's affairs
in the past has been very satisfactory,
and says Brigham cannot now "afford to
go back to the flesh pots of partisan pol
itical strife" The News says in part:
"Partisanship as it affects the smaller
unit of city government such as Brigham
City represents, is about the worst thing
that can hapnen to the government. In
fact it has been recognized as such a
great evil that manv of the greatest
statesmen of our time have declared
that partisanship has absolutely no place
in municipal government. They have rec
ognized that municipality needs the
harmonious support OF all its citizens II
it would grow and prosper and this can
not be secured when the electorate is di-
vided against itself Whether the mavor
is a Democrat OF Republican makes nc
difference whatever, in his ability to di-
rect the affairs Of the c,t7 so lone as he
is capable man and he's the unified SUD-
port Of all the people. But when he is a
partisan and is directed bv his nartv then
he does not and cannot have the united
support of all the people for OF necessity
he must take counsel from the Nart-' lead
ers and do as thew direct. Thu IS not /"
fancy, it is fact illustrated in the o--''ar
fences of Brigham CITY lust as it has
been illustrated in the experiences OF ~
other cities where partisan ship has rul-
ed. And this condition prostitutes citizen
shin and prevents civic growth"
There is food for thought in the COM
ments of the News. Logan CITY has had
more Or less the same exnerience. and Lo-
gan is to be CONGRATULATED that she has
not followed Brigham and gone back to
the party system. So far as we are, able
to see the non-partisan administrations
of Logan have "kept the faith" and fur
Their thew have given good service. The
system should be kept alive.
