as finally passed were framed by him
and received the approval Of Western
Senators and Representatives and ct
the committee Of the Senate and the
House before Mr.. Roosevelt became
President and the bill was and is
known as the Newland's Irrigation
Bill and that everywhere it has united
the friends Of Irritation and disarmed
its opponents, and we believe it un.
just and unfair to attempt to deprive
Senator Newlands of the credit of his
craftsmanship.
