Widtsoe Baren cret ihist complaints from various groups of water users on irrigation projects have been filed with the interior department. The complaints include charges that in many of the projects the original estimates under hich settlers were induced to go upon the proj- ects were from 50 to 100 per cent too low and that the actual cost has been so great that it is le for the farmers to pay out within the time and manner fixed by law or even at all; that mistakes, engineering and otherwise, had een made which added materially to the cost of jects; that others had been un- dertaken that should never have been started.

It was the Republican party which first went on record in 1884 in favor of legislation that dustry. It was under the Republican party that the sugar beet industry was established and its de velopment guaranteed by Republican policies. The Republican party created the bureau of mines and mining, which has meant so much to that industry in the mountain states: As early as 1892, the Republican party, in its national platform, pledged itself to the devel- Jopment of arid lands. This policy reached its consummation under the administration of President Roosevelt, when the policy of irri- gation and reclamation became a fixed policy of the United States—so sensible, so economic, | and so necessary to the development of western sections that even the Democratic party when it Under the Republican party laws were en- acted protecting public lands and securing to the cattle and sheep interests grazing rights thereon at a nominal fee. This policy is of incal- culable yalue to the livestock industry of the west. The forestry service, the development of min- eral and oil reserves, the establishment of rural free delivery, the participation of the federal government in the improvement of public high- ways, all played a very important part in the| development of the west. All had their origin| under Republican administrations. All go down in history as Republican policies. Throughout this half century the Republican party rendered invaluable assistance not only to the material development of the western and mountain states, but it rendered even greater aid In their intellectual and social development. Throughout this period the party took an ad- vanced stand in the matter of giving liberal sup- ort to free schools and home rule for the ter- ritories before they were udmitted into state- hood. c - The Republican party enacted the Chinese exclusion act, which saved the western states from a flood of undesirable immigration and left their resources to be developed and their land to be occupied by American citizens. It was the Republican states of this section of the country that women were first granted suffrage. Wyoming led the list in 1869, with Col- orado second, Utah third, and 11 other states of thet section of the country following before 1914. The Republican party took cognizance of this movement and endorsed it in its national platform of 1872. . | In brief, the history of the Republican party in connection with the development of the west \the history of a party whose policies have given opportunities and protection to American citi- |zens, encouraged them in home building and de- |velopment of their communities; opened up, settled and developed the richest territory in jthis country and thereby contributed to the up- building of America and the safeguarding of American institutions. : Proposals Not Sound “Tloyd George says the United States ought to join the league of nations and he believes it will join in the near future,” observes the Chicago | Tribune. “As Mr. Lloyd George is responsible, | with M. Clemenceau and Mr. Wilson, for the es. tablishment such as it is, of the league of na- |tions, it is natural that he should look upon it, ostensibly at least, with the fond eyes of par entage. But we doubt his qualification for pre diction of American action. The credit of the league in America is not, so far as we can ob serve, improving. As a marvelous contrivance for preventing war, the league does not loom up very impressively from this side the Atlantic. Mr. Lloyd George asserts that all it needs to function perfectly as advertised is the United States, and that the moment Uncle Sam sits down at the supreme council table world peace is certain. What Mr. Lloyd George is thinking of is not at all what our academic leaguists and internat- jonalists have in mind. He speaks more plainly when he says an alliance of Great Britain and \the United States can impose peace én the world. That may be; it probably is true, but the Amer. ican people are not ready to assume. the moral and material responsibility of such an imposi- tion. Neither within nor without are we ready to say to France: You must get out of the Ruhr; or to Germany: You must cease resistance and accept French dictation, or to Italy: You must give up Fiume, or to Greece: You must give up Corfu or Smyrna—if you don’t we shall declare war, military or economic or financial or all combined. i “When Mr. Lloyd George speaks of peace, im- posed by a league with the United States’ hold- ing the balance or by an Englishspeaking alli- ance, le assumes an, identity of interest, of view- point, between our nation and his which does not exist. We have enough in common to keep our peace, so far as any prediction in this changeful world may be hazarded, but each has particular interests of its own in which the other does not share and this is true especially of the far-reaching network of the British empire. “It is easy to conjure up a glowing picture of a pax Anglo-American if we are ready to assume It Happened In Wyoming Matters and Things, of State-Wide Interest, Wired in, Telephoned in, Written, Grape-Vined and Some of It Purloined.

It is not an exaggeration, therefore, to stato that the development of that section of the Unit- ed States not only took place during Republican administrations, but was made possible by Re- publican policies. A review of the work of the Republican rty during that half century con firms this statement. In 1862, during the administration of Abra ham Lincoln, the Republican party enacted the first homestead act. Following the Civil w s a measure of reward to the soldiers who had fought for the union, supplementary homestead legislation was enacted which resulted in the settlement of the great western section ,of the United States by American citizens. national politics of Europe is today, has been for 10rrow. 4 The frequent suggestion that we hear from foreign statesmen, including Mr. Lloyd George, that the Versailles treaty has failed to bring forth fruits of peace and restoration simply be- cause the United States refused to ratify and help {mpose its terms, does not impress us. The’ treaty of Versailles was a resultant of the poli- tical forces of Europe, in which it has been our wise policy not to entangle ourselves. Far from being conscience stricken for having refused to help impose it, the American people, save for a small minority of impracticals and of partisans are thankful they have kept clear, As time has unrolled its demonstration our thankfulness has increased and we have no idea today that the panacea for Europe's woes is in our keeping.” centuries, and in all human probability will be to | | FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 2, 1923 fe the County Corn, Potato ani Potato Show Is Poultry Show, however, which qwill inclusive, All corn, potato and poul- fanciers should begin now to DOUGLAS.—Lacking the “where- | [SY INS onur pest. | with-all” to enable Converse county | Abandoned be held as dated, December 12 to 15 } ———_———_. }to handle the State Potato Show this year, seems to make it neces SEND IT TO THE sary that the matter be dropped.
