there runs the thread of struggle which
unites Lenin with the Russian revolu-
tionary movement. He was man of
an allinclusive spirit; the press of
our opponents would speak with irony
about the utopian plans of Bolshevism.
But in this irony there is to be found
a profound truth. Lenin has been oper-
ating with whole continents. He was
basing his policies upon the exper-
fences Of millions.
Only the limitless and vast extent of
Russia could give birth to such a
spirit. This youth, born to a family
of state functionaries and adopted by
the proletariat, embodied and gave ex-
preston to the hatred of the working
class of Russia accumulated thru cen.
turtles. He also reflected in himself
the hatred of the peasantry against
its oppressors that accumulated thru
centuries. He had deep sense for
the sufferings Of the toiling masses
even when the masses could not give
expression to those sufferings in
words.
Lenin cannot be considered apart
from the Russian workers and peas
ants and from the Russian history
Only within the social structure of
Russia, the revolutionary struggles of
whole generations, only by consider
ing the achievements Of the Russian
revolutionary movement since the 18th
century and up to the last day. can

| Interior Department
Makes Sweeping Re
Communications for
Development of Fed
eral Policies.

Sweeping legislation on reclamation
matters is recommended by Secretary
of the Interior Hubert Work in a
communication 10 President Coolidge.
The recommendations refer to federal
policies for old and proposed projects.
Among other things. the secreiary's
message indicates a preference OF the
interior department for irrigation dis
iricts as proper project organizations
to be entrusted with the management
ct federal reclamation works.
Because the message was printed
only in part by daily newspapers or
cula,ing in this territory. and because
of its %pertinance &c the Boise pro-
ject settlers. dShe Tribune herewith
offers it in full:
my dear President: The time has
arrived for the adoption of a board

ed by congress will improve the condi-
ton of settlers and make it possible
for them to meet their payments to

lures. TO SUP DIV which additional
legislation is needed, which will:
ia. Define tn. y ard proce-
dure with respect to cooperation be-
tween the federal government, and the
states in the development OF new
projects;
"tb) Provide for amortizcd pay
ments witha low rate of interest on
ivances made by the government for
the development of farms;
"(c) Bring about tho adoption of a
unified plan for the colonization and

Joint Committee Proposed

to appoint a joint congressional.com-
mittee to consider these questions.

this end | have outlined herein GER
tain methods and measures which this
department has tentatively adopted;

Future Development
- All Investigations OF future
projects should include a comprehen-
sive study OF legal. engineering. econ

dit;ons. Legal studies are needed to
determine the title to water rights:
engineering studies to determine the
cost of irrigation works; economic
studies to determine the value of land
held in private ownership. the out
lay required 10 change raw land into
forms. and the character OF markets:
agricultural studies 10 determine the
crops suited to the locality and the
productive value Of land under irri-
CATION; financial studies to determine
sources of credit. interest rates and
cost of settlement and farm develop
ments. The results of these ~investi-
cations should be submitted to con-
gress and to the authorities OF the
state in which the development is To-
Gated.
IS. On all projects undertaken
hereafter the state in which the de-
velopmcnt is located should partici-
pate in the selection of settlers and
the development OF farms. The state
should not be required to contribute
to the fund provided for advances to
settlers for farm development. as they
now contribute to the construction Of
roads and to agricultural education.
%. A fund should be provided from
which money car be advanced to help
worthy. needy settlers improve and
equip their farms. Such advances
should bear interest and. for pcrma-
rent improvements. should extend
over long periods. Four per cent is
suggested as the interest ratio.
~. There are almost as many
farm laborers as farm owners in this
country. The conditions under which
the families of farm laborers live are,
therefore. a matter of great impor-
lance. Provision should be made on
these projects to give the farm la
borer an opportunity to acquire a
home and a garden. the number to
be limited TO the local demand for
hired labor. In this way we will train

ton development must take into on
sideration the needs OF the different
states. the water right problems OF

reclamation fund which will be avail
able during the next twcniy years.
The construction Of reservoirs by the
bureau Of reclamation under a for
ward looking plan of this character
will be an effective agency for lessen
ing controversy and securing an eQui-
table distribution of the water sup
ply.
10. Efforts TO roach an agree
ment for economic apportionment OF

ing made by the states, have the cor
dial approval and support nf this de
par,ment. II is infinitely Letter than
thu costly and unsetting litigation

ments arc reached. II ought to be
possible under such agreement to
work out plans for the storage and
regulation of tho water of the Mis-

taries Such action on the Colorado

Yuma reclamation project from dan |

being devastated both by foods and

priation of 100000 to be used in part
for reclamation investigation in sec

is a field for the closer settlement
and creation of prosperous homes on
areas Of neglected swamp or cut-over
land. The method OF colonization
and the economic conditions under
which these new communities will be
established are of special Importance
All such Investigations should be CO.

states like North Carolina and South

senior circuit judges Of the country
with Chief Justice Taft joining and the
opinion of federal district judges re-

their support behind the movement for

department Of Justice.
Recommendation for such action by
congress has been made by the judicial
conference of senior circuit judges IN

chairman Of the conference. 10 Attorney
General Stone. transmitting a request
that he embody the proposal in his an
nual report 10 congress.
With the chief justice concurring. the
senior judges, who have just met here,
declare in statement which they ask

responsibility would make much for
effectiveness in enforcing the Law.
Out Of their abundant experience
with prosecutions under the prohibition
law and reflecting that also Of district
judges, the senior circuit judges assert
that by placing experience of all depart

which now crowd court dockets would
be avoided.
Under such change. with the ill
advised zeal and practical ignorance Of
prohibition agents" no longer a factor

there can be prosecuted only those
cases which really deter the principal
offenders and in the preparation Of
which district attorneys will have a
