Olympia. Feb. 6.-(Special) 1.-The MiIroy
arid lands bill, pending In the house. pro-
vides for the acceptance by the state Of
the provisions of the Carey law. and ere
ates an officer to carry out these prcvis-
ions. to be known as commissioner Of
arid lands. who shall be appointed by the
governor, and whose duty 1t shall be to
employ an engineer and take all steps
necessary for securing the million acres
of land given by the general government
to Washington and to all other states
known as arid land states. This bill will
take its place at once as one of the most
important measures before the house, its
urgency being well known by the terms
of the Federal statute. which make 1t
necessary to move at once In the matter
in order TO secure this magnificent gift OF
lands at all The provisions of the bill
specify the powers and duties OF the COM
missioner, and fix limitations as to his
authority in dealing with corporations or
contractors who shall build the canals
accessory for irrigating and settling the
lands the purpose being to make such
lands as can be wate1ed into homes for
incoming farmers as soon as possible, and
thus also furnish labor for the uneTn-
ployed, invite capital to be used in i'm
proving TIE lands. and Increase both the
population and the taxable area OF the
state. The counties from which the lands
to be selected must come are okanogaza.

would be unable to operate all the even

odd sections, gives en- opportunity TO
water the entire bodies OF land al less
cost than has been done by the great irri-
CATION works already built, for the reason
that none OF these have been abba to
count certainly upon even sections as
tributary TO their canals. which fact has
already come to the attention of Eastern
investors, and it Ia safe TO say that this
bill offers a means OF providing for isnrni-
grants such as has never been enjoyed In

Commission, and with half of the debt
unpaid. after having been taxed to pay it
for fifteen years after the debt should
have been extinguished, and with the
prospect of further taxation for unknown
years to come.
This brings to mind the question as to
how far the Trustee was out of the way
when he charged that the city had been
gammoned out of s., 500, 900. The figures
can easily be made up if the immense
sums collected by taxation and squan-
dered IN the payment of interest upon
pald-up bonds, as well as upon bonds
which could and should have been paid
up fifteen years ago, and in the purchase
OF bonds maturing in 1898 and 1908 in
stead of those maturing in 1888 and 1898.
Postponement of the payment of
the debt has undoubtedly been the
general policy OF the commission,
and is still it's policy. If not. why
does it invest its funds in levee bonds
and street bonds instead of using them to
pay the debt? If delay is not It's policy.
why did il few years ago get law
passed authorizing 1t TO invest it's funds
In State bonds and the bonds OF other
counties and cities? What are the re-
sulting evils of this delay policy? First,
a vast accumulation of interest added to
the volume OF the debt; next, the bonds
OF 1888 and 1893 unpaid, and standing
menace against the city and an obstacle
III the way Of progress. Parenthetically,
1t may be remarked that siluriap alb
hors those old debts, however much a
modern progressive may love and cher
lsh them. Next, the inevitable prolon-
cation OF the existence of the commission.
Consider the situation of city. full of
natural life and energy. staggering under
the heavy taxation of the last twenty
years, with the commission investing the
proceeds OF such taxation in the pur-
cnase, at par value. OF bonds not due. in
stead OF those past due. thua guarding
against remote, and suffering from a
present, evil. x private individual
practicing such a policy would be taken
in hand by his friends with a writ of
de thadtico dhtQWtrendo; and yet this
policy is regarded with an ecstacy of ad :
miration by It's friends, not as sample,
Tor there never was anything like it, but
as an exhibition OF the very highest Chi
cane In finance ever known in modern
times. The commission, it is well
known, buys these 1898 and 1903 bonds to
get hold OF the coupons attached to them,
to enable 1T to drain the moneys of the
interest and sinking fund into it's own
fund with which to purchase more bonds
and coupons, at par, when it is in that
vein, or to buy levee bonds or other out
side bonds, when its humor is in that
ulfectlon. TAXPAYER.
