The Problem Of Irrigation
Seems to Confuse Congress

WASHING, ron Jan 9 Members
Of Congress geperasiy and especially
thoac from Eastern States have been
studying with lively interest the pro
posed Aattonal irrigation bib recenily
formulated hy a committee Of Western
memperx ANS bill has not treated
favorable impression. In fact. II has
been u distinct disappointment.
The increase of sentiment IN favor
oi national irrigation which has been
50 noticeable in Congress during us
past year has been largely built up
on the principle adopted in the Hans
borough -Newiands bill Of last session.
This bill proposed that all money ex-
pended by the United States in the
reclamation of arid government LANDS
should he returned TO the Treasury OF
the United States by those who securen
the direct benefit The new COMMITTEES
hi. proposes that the government
shall produce water supply for the
arid lands at cost not exceeding sio
an acre for the land 10 be irrigated and
the homes;eader shall pay the govern
meut but 81 an acre as his quota oil
the cost of the reservoir or main line
canal
The most serious objection TO the
Motley of national aid 10 irrigation pre-
sented by the humid regions was the
uncertainty as to the amount to be
expended by the government anu the
probability Of the expenditure of many
millions without adequate returns
The plans suggested in the Original

by proposing that the West should re-
claim itself. That the product from
the sales OF public lands should con-
stitnte an arid lana reclamation fund
io I've used for irrigation works. That
each tract OF land as reclaimed should
repay 10 the Treasury the cost OF such
reclamation In ten annual instaflments
but without interest or profit
The present committee bill provides
that the government shall not reclaim
lands where such reclamation will coss
more than SO per acre and establish-
I'D a fixed price to the settler or $5
per acre for all land reclaimed by
the government
The idea of placing limit upon
the cost per acre for reclamation
works Is not based upon business
proposition In the extensively ard re~
gions. such as Arizona. Utah. New
Mexico and many other places. 1t will
undoubtedly cost more than $40 per
acre to reclaim the land and thus
many desirable and much needed pro-
jects would be entirely excluded. The
committee bill does not take into ac-
count the increased irrigating value OF
certain water supply. II Is very pos
sibie that In some places the prorating
OF the cost of the irrigation work over
the land which could be irrigated the
first year would amount TO more than
$40 per acre, whereas after this land
had been irrigated for several years
the same amount of water could be
used over a larger area, as La always
the case. and thus the project would
after all in time come within the SO
limit
