Washington. Feb. 26. Many East
ern people are asking what is this irri
gation problem now before congress?
la it a legitimate one lor tbe govern
ment to conuider? Will it benefit tbe
country?
Its Western advocates, regard lew ot
political affiliations, claim that it is
tbe most important national qnertion
tr.Au Raatern lezlslators, regamicj..
of oartT. ait) inclined to smile broadly
at tbit assertion.
Home-Building.
If ihs Internal history ot the Ameri
bho 1 studied carefully.
th conclusion will be
JWTTVW.a -
nui-hed that national irrigation, prop
lv wronzbt out, 1 likely to shortly
to the front as one ol the most
important national questions oi tha
day. it embodies, in its truest sense,
tbe question ol home-building, and tbe
American people have been, np to the
present time, essentially a nation ol
home-builders.
Home for Million. ,
The new home ol tbe luture most
be found on irrigated lands. There
are, according to accepted government
,rt. tome 74.000.000 acres of rich
Western land capable ol irrigation if
the Western waters are properly con
served. Irrigation is not an experi
ment in tbe United States. Under ir
rigation, yields are very large and I
fw acres of this land would generous
Iv support a family, so that with tbe
arid lands Irrigated rural boraee woum
h nrovided for millions of citizens,
waiting and anxious to go upon tbem
Arid Land Fund.
Tbe Sewlands bill in tha honse and
the Hansbrongh bill in the senate, pro-
virta for the setting aside oi tne pro
ceed from the sale ot pumio iana in
the arid states and territories as an
"arid land reclamation fund," to be
used for building reservoirs, to catch
tbe flood waters of Western streams,
and that -.he) cost of such construction
shall be put upon the land reclaimed
and tbe land then offered for sale by
the government in small tracts, to
bona fide settlers, upon easy terms.
Popular Le jislatlon.
More people and a greater diversity
of interests than supported tbe home
stead act will come to the support of I
such a policy. Such legislation would I
be even more popular tnan the free
home enactments. What other propo
sition is bofore the country upon which .
labor and capital can better unite and I
whioh they can support, nana in nami, 'rgoodg
without clash or jealousy. r.very iii
union In the United States which has
discussed the question has unanimous
ly inpported it; every combination of
capital, of whatever sort, which has
considered it, has given it unqualified
endorsement.
Western Homest Eastern Markets.
ThA nnfltiimr of the vast area of West
ern lao is by irrigation would provide
cheap homes, certain oi returning ins
nwni.ru a comfortable livelihood. It
would create a valuable and growing
arket for every kind ana aescri piiou
I manufactured product and would
thus be favored by all classes of maun-
f.ntnrinc and commercial interests in
tbe country. It would insure cheaper
living in the West which would result
in the ooeninR ot numoeriess mmm
r,,fiis whose erade of ore is not
snffloientlv hiKh to warrant develop-
, . ,
ment under present wage conaiuoua,
ti wnnld create a demand lor transpor
tatlon which would bring to its sup
port every railroad interest.
