which, instead, contained q couple of

Carter Complains That Individuals Are
Unable to Secure Homes.
WASHINGTON CITy, July 30.--The North
western men did no heavy talking while
the irrigation question was under discus
sion in the House today. Carter of Mon
tana, who is taking an active part in the
fight, was loaded with q speech, in which
he proposes to read the riot act to Cannon
and others who favor Major Powell's seq
regation scheme. Mr.. Cannon today took
the position that under the amendments
proposed state legislature could author
ize corporations TO develop the irrigation
system. Major Plckler. of South
Dakota, asked how the state laws
could be made to control operations
on system of irrigation that involved
lands in more than one state. Mr.. Cannon
admitted that this would require new gen.
erai laws and rulings by the courts. In
short talk into which he was drawn while
questioning Mr.. Cannon, Carter of Mon-
tana made the point that Cannon's amend
ment would inevitably drive all persons
who wanted to secure homes under the act
into membership of greater proportion,
as individuals would not be able to develop
an irrigation system hy reason of expense.
Carter will be recognized tomorrow for .
speech in which he will attack the general
principles of Major Powell's scheme as the
sundry civil bill embodies it.
