"a FOLLETTE SILENT

A search through the files of the Congressional
Record for any word ever spoken by Robert NJ. La
Toilette IN behalf of the reclamation of arid lands has
been search in vain. He has record OF this i'm
portant issue. If the Sociast-thrd party candidate
has ever been interested in the development of west
arid lands through policy of federal reclamation
he has raised his voice in congress- Nor indeed
has La Toilette displayed interest in general western
legislation
In the main what is tue OF the third party candi-
date is equally true of most of his followers in con-
gress. There is not outstanding reclamationst
among them, and some openly arrayed against any
extension of the federal reclamation policy.
On the other hand, President Coolidge is squarelv
record favorng not only revision of the present
reclamation law to the burden of those farm
ing on the government projects, but also advocates
intelligent business like expansion of federal recama
tion activity in the west
Last spring he sent to congress with his approval
the report of the fact finding commission and urged
its prompt adoption The fact finders bill, after be-
ing favorably reported to both senate and house.
defeated the final day Of the session by Demo
cratic fbuster. That commission, in addition to re-
commencing permanent relief for the settlers, and
humane and business like administration Of reclama-
ton affairs also recommended the adoption OF sew
eral projects. All these proposals had the en-
doresment and approval of President Coolidge, and
all these proposals would today be authorized by law
but for the fatal filbuster.
Without pretending to pay heed to those who op-
pose further government irrigation IN the west Presi
dent Coolidge has given most effective answer to
those who oppose reclamation expansion.
He has shown that it will take time to complete
the larger projects under consideration such as
the Colorado river and the Columbia basin projects;
that by such time as these projects shall have been
brought to productivity the country will have attained
population which viii afford sure and profitable
market for the products of the farms, and then will
call for more farms and more farmers to supply the
increasing demand for food
The Presidents argument is SO convincing that
of the largest New York newspapers has given
strong editorial indorsenentto what Mr.. Coohdge has
to say the subject 1t is arguments such as that OF
Mr. Coolidge that have the people Of the popuous
centers to the side OF western reclamation

THE FIVE-HOUR DAY

According to James Hartness president OF the
American Engineering Council, the average working
day of the building craftsman in the future Will be
five hours.
The tendency certainly is in that direction, but 1t
hard to believe that it will far as that IN the
building trades or anywhere ese in this generation
time NAV come when an average of five hours work on
the part of everybody in factories, offices and else
where will produce all that society requires Tor COM
Portable existence But that time has not yet come,
and seems far distant, for wants increase with the
means Of satisfying them. =,
If people do come to a five-hour day, what will
thev do with the rest of their time? That IS ques-
ton day-shorteners seldom give consideration 1t de-
serves Except in the most arduous manual or men
tai work such a working day would take worker OH

had reached the degree Of comfortable WEAKNESS

profitable pastimes beyond the strict needs OF recrea

Mentally and morally, it will be long before hu-

ready for a fve-hour day.
There is general agreement that the shortening OF
be working day to an average of eight hours has been
. great blessing to the individual and society Many
kinds of work will stand little more cuTtaAneht But
the process cannot be carried indefinitely any more
than the reduction OF diet in the Of patient VINO
