The whole quéstion was threshed over. Hill of Connecticut said the great scheme | of irrigation would cost the Government 36,000,000,000.

The arid land qhn- ators and Representatives, he sald, arrived at the conclusion that the’ time had come to irrigate the arid lands at the expense of the Federal treasury. Cannon predicted that if the scheme were entered upon it would cost more than $75 in the mext fi “In some T . sald Cannon, “I am a pretty good Democrat—better than some of those calling themselves such on the other side.
