WATER is lndiana.S
- most valuable min
eral resource.
Indiana has been wasting
her water. Thousands of
wells and springs, hitherto
considered unfailing, have
gone dry in the last decade.
Farms have been deserted and
countless acres of land are barren
because of erosion and the falling
water table.
The thousands of low log and
-cc.a, dams that will be built across
secondary Indiana streams this
year as part of the Federal works
program are the second ma jor step
in Indiana's belated move to con-
serve her only important source of
wealth, soil fertility
The great reforestation project
announced early this year was the
first step.
Indiana's log dam program
has come in for lot of good
natured raillery and some sharp
criticism. mostly of political orr
gin. A little study will show any
serious censure to be based on
lack of information.
A SIX any farmer what happens
"A when the water table falls
below the point where capillary
action fails to bring the moisture
within reach of the parched roots
of his corn and wheat.
Watch the alarm with which
any community faces the fact chat
a falling water table is periling
their source OF supply for drinking
and fire protection.
Log dams alone will not fully
correct these alarming and ever
increasing conditions, but they
will help.
The statement that soil fertility
Is Indiana's only important source
of wealth may be questioned. But
consider these facts.
Students of economics tell us
that all real wealth is based on
land. Not on the iron or the gold
or the oil below the surface but on
the food the land will raise and
the animal and fish life in the
forests and the streams and lakes,
life that also means food for man.
A LII other wealth is based on
IA this wealth. Gold and
iron and oil are useless to
people without food.
We see that state or nation
must have a fertile land to exist.
And the soil fertility depends on
the water supply. Let's take a
brief backward look at the shame

ton in Indiana
In the memory OF men now
living this state was almost en-
tirely covered with great forests.
A small section in the northwest
connected with the great Illinois
prairie. That section was waist
high in tough-rooted prairie grass.
Swamps and lakes filled the re-
naming area.
The first settlers slashed and
burned the southern forests in a
relatively few years. The prairie
sod was ripped up by thousand
eager plows bitches and tiles

Finally even the Liberals Sneer at
it because it does not go far
enough.
This unanimity of antipathy
will not. however, prevent the bill
from becoming law. 1t will pass
simply because none of the groups
is willing to shoulder the political
responsibility for killing it.
That such an anomalous situa-
ton should exist on so important
a piece of legislation is due en-
tirely to the President. 1t was mis-
spur-of- the moment action in
tossing so complex an issue into
the legislative hopper without ade-
quate preparation that caused the
present misshapen compromise. 1t
is neither fish nor fowl.
From the early days of his re-
gime, members of the Presidents
inner circle urged him TO formu-
late and sponsor comprehensive
revision OF the Federal tax system.
They argued that this was essen
tial to meet two critical condi-
tons:
l. The growing Treasury deficit,
requiring additional revenue.
?. The dangerous concentration
of vast wealth.
MR.. ROOSEVELT was fully in
WI accord with these theories.
But he did nothing 70 translate
his views into action. Among his
intimates the opinion was general
that he intended taking up the
tax problem in his second term.
But along in the spring some
thing happened. That something
was Huey Long. Numerous re-
ports reached the President of the
popularity and spread of Huey
Longs share the wealth" clam
or a growing volume Of criticism
over the fact that. while unem-
aloyment rolls showed no signs

The President decided that
counter gesture was necessary.
So he had a talk with Vice Presi-
dent Jack Garner. That veteran
political poker player urged him
to follow his bunch. The Presi-
dent is good on lunches, ana
shortly thereafter the surprise tax
message to Congress followed.
The pronouncement was strictly
a trial balloon. The President
had no bill, no schedules or rates

Until the Spaniards brought in horses, the In

early Spaniards VINO entered the region found the
Indians farmers. But the horse introduced
them to easier and more exciting life by making
buffalo hunting possible.
1t is also probable that the plains were invaded
by tribes from the North and East who, once they
had horses came IN to hunt the bison herds also.
These tribes overran the peaceful farmers making
it necessary for them either to change their habits
or retire to other regions.

5000 MEN SEEK
Sc PATROL JOBS
Training School to be Conducted at
Ripley VIII Settle Final Con.
tests for Positions.

Faced with 5000 applications for SO
way Patrol, Chief ]. P. Arnoldy is
devoting himself this month to the
task of picking 20 men who will attend
special training school at Camp Rip
ley and fight it out for the final APP
pOintments, says a highway depart
ment bulletin.
The last Legislature authorized an
increase in the size of the patrol to
100 men and granted the body addi-
tiOnal police powers, but owing to the
fact that the 1885 budget of the high
way department did not provide for
the extra expense involved, it was de-
cided to postpone the expansion until
January, 1886.
However, a patrol training school
will be held at the national guard
camp, Fort Ripley. in August, Septem-
Der and part of October. Here 20 can
didates will be given stiff course of
complete training, and SO will get APP
pOintments to the patrol. All present
members of the patrol will be sent
through a special short course in
criminal law and police work in con-
nection with the training school.
This is to give them a better ground
work for their increased police du-
ties. In the past the patrol has func-
toned only as traffic squad, with
out general police powers.

utility holding companies securities
because the stock of the companies
that would be eliminated is practi
cally worthless at the present time,
and there is no possibility of such
securities being restored to their for
mer inflated value. Securities of op-
Grating utilities as distinguished from
holding company securities should ac-
tually increase in value if the Senate
bill should be enacted into law be-
cause they would no longer be re-
quired to pay tribute" to the finan-
cial wizards who have developed the
money making scheme known as util-
ity holding companies.
At the present time there is an
"army" of lobbyists in the nations
capital trying to put pressure on the
members of Congress to vote against
the Senate bill and in favor of the
House bill. 1t is likely that they may
be successful in persuading a suffici-
ent number of the members of the
House of Representatives to defeat

of what may happen in this session
of Congress there is a growing con-
viction among men in public life that
the public utility holding company
system is an evil that must eventu-
ally be eliminated as it serves no
useful purpose and is merely device
by which certain financial groups are
able to make unearned and exorbi-
tant profits. Hundreds of thousands
of letters have been sent to members
of Congress from employees and small
owners of utility securities urging the
defeat of this legislation. 1t has been
definitely shown that practically all
of these letters have been inspired
by the holding companies by misrep-
resenting the reason for the deprecia-
tion in holding company securities
and by offering false hope to the
owners of such securities as to the
future value of their securities in the
event such legislation is enacted.

Early in the week a lively scrap
developed when the ship subsidy bill
was brought in and showed over by
a very close margin. The House APP
proved and sent the Senate bill
which will provide for outright gifts
of hundreds of millions of dollars to
ship-builders and owners if enacted.
It's terms go even farther. however,
than the liberally-minded administra-
ton wanted to 60 in treatment of our
merchant marine, and the reaction
will probably result in general ton
ing down of the provisions of the bill
in the Senate.
The House also passed a bill with
practically no debate which extends
the life of the deposit insurance or
ganization for two months. That was
done in order to try to save the adj
ministratiOn bank reform bill which
has been the object of such savage
attack in the Senate committee, and
which to date has been blocked. As
this is written there is a little
brighter hope that it may be saved.
But the real struggle in Congress
has centered around the utility hold
ing company bill now before the
House.
The House committee on Interstate
and Foreign Commerce has rewritten
the bill and has offered it's redraft
as a substitute for the Senate bill
Although there are some other diff
ferences between the two bills the
principle point of controversy between
the two is that the Senate bill pro-
vides that all unnecessary utility
holding companies shall be liquidated
and be out of existence by the year
1912, whereas the House bill permits
such holding companies to exist upon
that date if they comply with certain
rules and regulations and can satisfy
the Securities Commission that they
should be permitted to continue to
function.
There has been more propaganda
spread with reference to this legisla-
ton than has ever been used for or
against any other legislation before
Congress. Public utility holding COM
panies whose stock has already depre-
ciated to point where it is prac-
tically worthless because of the
abuses that existed in connection with
such holding companies have made
valiant effort to deceive their stock
holders into believing that the pro-
posal before Congress is responsible
for the plight of the holding COM
panies. As matter of fact the en-
actment of the Senate bill would not
do any injustice to the owners Of
