Points Out Value of
Watering Land.

There are 90 100000 acres of land
in Montana; 100000 acres are cult
waited and not more than half of that
amount is properly cultivated. accord
ing to a statement issued Wednesday
evening by J. Winter Smith of Helena
president of the Montana Irrigation
and Drainage institute, through the
radio broadcastin service of the Mon

'These are alarming facts which
Montana men never realized until the
recent dry years and crop failures Sc,
them to thinking along these lines,
saws the statement. when Montana
began to realize these conditions, her
leading men were called together to de-
wise ways and means for improvement
along these lines, and so the Montana
Irrigation and Drainage Institute came
into being, with it's mission in life aptly
expressed in its slogan, Better lrriga-
ton for Montana"

wide organization, composed OF lrrl-

c~ational. Through the press and the
platform. it aims to spread the gospel
of better irrigation throughout the
state. Its membership already includes
many of the leading men from all parts
of Montana, and the door is still open
to receive others into the fold.
THE Institute Is now three years
and has steadily grown in numbers and
influence since its birth. 1t has held
| three annual conventions, first al
Bozeman. next at Billings and lastly
at Great Falls. The fourth annual con-
vention will be heard in December at 8
place soon to- be determined by the
executive board.
''One of the principal activities OF
the Institute is to endeavor to revise
! the water laws of the state in order to
definitely fix all water rights and sys.
tematize the water right records. I'm
der our present laws there are o los
different officials offices in the state
where water right records are kept
with no uniformity of records and nc
legal provision for proper indexing OF
the rights. These records should be
kept in one central office; as they are
in all other-;Frigation states. The In

SENATE SPEEDS
CONTINUED From Page one)

Embarrassment to the treasury or the
country's financial structure generally.
Senator Robinson spoke briefly and
then the senate took up the committee
amendments. The Arkansas senator
declared there was little reason for
prolonged discussion OF the measure;
that Senator McCumber had demon
strated that there was nothing IN the
financial condition of the country JUST
flying further postponement or any
executive veto, and that the obiiga-
ton to the veterans was one that ought
to be met promptly, cheerfully and
gratefully"
The speaker declared that never had
any measure been subjected to such
a broad campaign of propaganda in
the press and elsewhere and charged
that this propaganda had it's fountain
spring in the great financial interests
of the country.
McCumber Speaks
Enactment of soldiers bonus leg
iislation at this session of con-
| gress is demanded by every pre-
cept of financial justice and every
principle of political honor, Chair
man McCumber of the defense com
lmittee declared Wednesday in open
ina debate on the amended house
bill with it's bank loan certificate pro-
vision in lieu of the original proposal
for a cash bonus.
Asserting that the term bonus
was a misnomer, Senator McCumber
said the purpose was to equallze IN a
measure the pay of the men called to
the colors with that received BY those
who stayed at home and prufited by
-,Lat he obaractorizp Qa q wild
drunken orgy of e~xtravagances that
accompanied the war"
The finance committee chairman
told the senate the time had come
for congress to show that it was not
attempting to play politics with the
American soldier. that it vas acting
in good faith" when it passed the
first bonus measure just before the
elections in 1920.
The president in his campaign of
1920, declared. himself in favor of
some kind of a soldiers, compensa-
! ton BILL" he continued. "Republi
cans both in the campaign and on
the floor of the senate have reiterated
these promises. They were made in
good faith and that good faith will
be manifested by the vote on this
measure
Referring to the position taken by
President Harding and Secretary
Mellon last year, when the executive
asked the senate to defer action 4on the
bonus bill because of the then finan-
| cial condition of the treasury, Sen
: ator McCumber requested that they
now view the legislation .in the light
of present day conditions"
These changed conditions certainly
must appeal to the judgment for a
revision of the views of a year ago
he said, adding that the government
could meet every dollar this bill will
call for without an additional tax levy
and without in the slightest degree
affecting the %refunding of any unpaid
short time obligations.

thousands acres of land now worthless

Shortage in Cotton

NEW BEDFORD, April 29.-TextiIe
circles see in the Developments of the
past two weeks an era of higher prices
for manufactured cotton goods. Pro
dlctons Of this nature, which arc now
we'll grounded in the trade, are based
upon the actual strengthening in price
positions of most grades of goods
recently, national economic conditions
and the shortage of goods within the
industry itself.
The trading this week has not fur

reference has been made TO the newt
able affect this would have in creating
shortage and increasing prices. The
estimated loss of production from the
strike is wei past oo,O0o000 yards.
The loss from looms that have been
stopped, many for upwards OF two
years. and curtailed mill schedules is
even higher. These 81 ethe direct
factors that put cloth in n particularly
strong position for boost in price
levels.
The most significant Of the national
economic influences is the tariff. While
tho Dill does not mcct favor with the
mllis, az compared with previous pro
tectlve tariffs. it will shut out much Of
the lmportations that have forced com
petition at hopelessly low figures. At
the same time relief is promised here.
