Books by William E. Smythe


"The Conquest of Arid America"


New and Revised Edition


"It is, beyond all comparison, the greatest work ever written on western economics." -- CHARLES F. LUMMIS.


"A work of great value to all students of economic conditions in our great western do- main. Mr. Smythe is the founder of the National Irrigation Congress, which gave birth to the popular movement and led to the passage of the National Irrigation Act."-Boston Globe.


"A book that every American should read, * * written in such an inform- ing and animated style that it is as interesting as a romance."-New York Sun.


"To Mr. Smythe irrigation is almost a religion. As the ancients worshiped the sun as the source of all light and power, so Mr. Smythe might well become the leader of a cult in the arid regions to worship water as the source of all fruitfulness there. This book is our most important work on a subject which is of increased and ever increasing interest."- Boston Transcript.


"Beyond a doubt, Mr. Smythe has accomplished the task he set himself, ambitious though it be. The book may be said to be indispensable."-Philadelphia Ledger.


"His style is fluent and his enthusiasm contagious.' It is a book that every young man ought to read."-Christian Advocate.


"He rises to real eloquence in his eulogies on the blessings of aridity."-Springfield Republican.


"Through all Mr. Smythe's fine enthusiasm there runs a vein of solid judgment and sound authority."-Chicago Tribune.


"Mr. Smythe is that ever-successful, but rare being, a man who is absolute master of his subject."-RICHARD HENRY STODDARD in New York Mail and Express.


"Far more fascinating than any account of the conquest of Mexico or Peru is Mr. Smythe's account of the conquest of arid America by irrigation; far more interesting than any story of travel or adventure towards the pole or in the tropics is his story of the miracle accomplished in our land in regions which our ignorance described as deserts."-New York World.


"The man or woman who fails to read the 'Conquest of Arid America' will miss the greatest blessing ever offered them."-WILLIAM F. CODY ("Buffalo Bill").


"The value of the book is unquestionable."-New York Evening Post.


"Mr. Smythe is a patriot of the right sort. He sees his country with loving eyes. He has faith in her future."-New York Independent.


"A book of unusual significance and great interest."-Cincinnati Times-Star.


"In this day of novelmania it is with pleasure and profit that one is able to turn to so lauda ble a work so entertainingly written."-New York Advertiser.


"If any man in this country is entitled to be considered an authority on irrigation, it certainly is Mr. Smythe, the author of this work."-Review of Reviews.


The revised edition of "Arid America" contains many illustrations and includes an historical sketch of the national irrigation movement, with description of government projects. Price $1.50.


THE MACMILLAN COMPANY


New York and London


Books by William E. Smythe


"CONSTRUCTIVE DEMOCRACY, THE ECONOMICS OF A SQUARE DEAL"


"The Remedy for the Evils of Democracy is More Democracy."


"Eminently modern and practical."-Boston Transcript.


"The book is vigorously written, and by reason of its constant use of present-day ma- terials is made both interesting and informing."-St. Louis Globe-Democrat.


"The work has been done with thoroughness and a scholarly insight into present-day conditions."-Boston Globe.


"This discussion of civic and financial affairs is able and comprehensive and is stamped with a vigorous rational optimism."-Cincinnati Enquirer.


"It is a message for the common people, and is one of the strong trumpet calls that is sure to be heard in the impending conflict."-Portland Oregonian.


"An earnest and philosophic attempt to set forth the 'economics of a square deal'." -- Philadelphia North American.


"He has a much better grasp on the industrial situation than most journalists have. We should like to see his book read and pondered by all journalists and congressmen."- The Outlook, New York.


"A bold program for constructive progress."-St. Paul Despatch.


"Excites respect for Mr. Smythe's literary capacity and regard for him as a man." -- San Francisco Chronicle.


"The most important economic study since "Progress and Poverty" and much more likely to bear the fruit of early accomplishment than was Henry George's work."-Out Il'est.


"His eloquence, his breadth of view and his splendid altruism have made him one of the most conspicuous figures in Southern California's public life, and this new book will place him in a light distinctly heroic, for it shows him as a reformer who has the courage to advocate radical cures for the ills that now effect the body politic."-Los Angeles Even- ing News.


"Impresses one as the work of a keen observer of modern industrial life and a thought- ful student of its problems."-Review of Reviews.


"An interesting and well-informed discussion of economic, sociological and industrial problems."-Philadelphia P'ress.


"The fascinating idea of a co-operative commonwealth has found a new advocate, al- most as eloquent as Henry D. Lloyd, more conservative and convincing than Gronlund."- The Congregationalist.


"Optimism of a wholesome and cheerful kind pervades the work and there is the firm underlying belief that, through all chance and change, democracy in America is construc- tive."-New York Press.


"The volume is exceedingly readable and stimulating as well as suggestive."-North- western Christian Advocate.


"Its courageous outlook upon the misty future of American politics makes it both in- teresting and encouraging to read."-Edinburgh Scotsman.


"Thoughtful, courageous and eminently readable."-Glasgow Herald.


"Ile has certainly carefully weighed his arguments and has a clear conception of the goal to which his suggestions lead. The work is decidedly worthy of notice by professional economists."-Philadelphia Ledger.


"So rational, so scholarly and so fair."-The Arena.
