Hey ond that occupied domain lies the vast territory- - commonly know n us the arid region. About .hi percent ot the national population live east of the natural boundary which marks the western limitation of tin regi in of assured rainfall. The fact is lieyond dispute that the western half of the continent can readily sustain, upon a sound economic basis, a population at least as large as the present total mini-le- r of inhubitantsof the United Mutes. In view of the startling grow th of great cities during the last decade, and the continued tendency of the people to desert the land and muss themselves the already overcrowded and conof the idlegested centers, and in ness and unrest w hieh have resulted largely from these causes, it see.-n- plain to us that the tune lias come for the American people to claim and occupy their last remaining heritage of public lauds. In order to accomplish this, however, the nation must meet and bolve problems peculiar to the environment of this vast region and essenyallv new to the Anglo-Saxorace. In si) far as these problems have been solved by individual and local effort, tlie re suit has demonstrated tliat Car Cumfi-tion- s admit of the highest degree of industrial --independence and social equality yet realized by mankind. Irrigation is the basis of a form of agriculture as scientific as mathematics, and the certain and diversified production it insures means tlie industrial independence of tlie family unit. The proof of this claim was seen in the fact that there was but little hunger or hardships in irrigated districts during the severe depression of 1893. Irrigation means a large percentage of land ownership. In Massachusetts between 70 and 80 per cent of the people are landless tenants. In irrigated Utah 90 per cent of the people are landed proprietors. Irrigation means small farms We and neighborhood association. point to the colonies of southern California, w here the owners and tillers of the soil live close- - to the school, the church and the public library,' and, in some instances, enjoy the convenience of freo postal delivery. VV chaJieag the world to furnish another example, upon any considerable scale, of conditions which distribute industrial and social advantages so evenly among all the people as is done by the economic life of western America, so far as it has yet developed. In order that the nation may utilize this region to the highest advantage, as its natural outlet for surplus energies and inareasing population, it is indispensable that citizens of the west should have the of the American earnest Itl-l- i..l, iv-- fi'iq!
