President Cabrera has been harshly

RICHES FOR STATE
IN DRAINAGE PLAN
Continued From First Page.

nesots are bringing into the. federal
This money diverted to drainage of
public and private lands on the revolv-
ing fund plan would change the char
acter of the district drained from waste
to highly productive land. Under the
revolving plan the money expended
in annual payments in the case of
privately owned lands, and in the case
of the public lands in their enhanced
value.
The government is coming to recog-
nize the propriety of applying rev
enues from the sale Of public lands to
drainage quite as we'll as to irrigation.
In fact, where irrigation schemes are
under way, it is often necessary to
irrigating bitches. 1t is quite as neces-
sary to drain off as to drain on in
order to prevent the flooding Of por-
tions of the irrigated lands.
Another fact of interest in connec-
ton with this scheme for a compre-
hensive system of drainage under gov
eminent rather than state control is
the probability that considerable wa
ter which now finds it's way into the
may be diverted into the Mississippi
The engineering department is DESTROYS
of obtaining this extra supply of wa
ter for the advantage which it will be
to navigation as we'll as, to the water
powers developed at various points
along the river.
States Duty to Aid.
It is estimated that for power p,ff-
poses in waterpower plants already
constructed million gallons of water
is worth $4,000. The government also
wishes to control the disposition of the
water collected by drainage in order
that it may the better protect some
of the lower localities which have re-
Gently been flooded by high water, and
about which there was much complaint
last year.
1t appears from these facts that the
first important step to be taken is an
appropriation by the next session of
the Minnesota Legislature of the neces-
sary $4,000 to enable the government
engineers to extend the survey beyond
the Red Lake reservation and con-
struct system which will serve the
whole district to be drained in the
reservation and out.
There is no reason to doubt that
If the state will do this the govern.
ment will do the rest and from the
standpoint of an investment it would
seem as if the state ought to be very
willing to undertake this small expense
It is also probable that the govern
ment would be slow to divert money
from government land sales to drain
age work carried on by the state. The
government will prefer to have super
vision of the surveys and the building
OF the drainage system. = e.
