All things considered, a more salts
factory plan or scheme for reclaim
ing the desert domain could hardly
be devised
The total acreage in the various
Carey Act projects already accom-
plished and now under way in Idaho
is about 100000, and probably ano-
Their 900 acres would have been in
process of reclamation now, had it
not been for the encroachments of the
national reclamation service and the
withdrawal by the government Of
practically all the irrigable lands of
the state, amounting to nearly four
million acres.
A total area of reclaimed desert ac-
credited to the Carey Act in all the
various states would probably amount
to several million acres notwith-
standing the fact that it has never
been found necessary to maintain an
energetic press bureau or extensive
advertising agencies to advocate it's
merits or proclaim it's achievements.
The Reclamation Act.
Let us now consider briefly the ma
tional reclamation law and the plan
of it's operation in contrast with the
Carey Act. 1t has been in force now
nearly four years-certainly sufflci-
ent length of time for the officials in
charge of it's execution to have formu-
lated plan or scheme of operation.
In making these comments l do not
wish to be understood as making any
protest against the national reclama-
llOIi law, LOT there Is no TedSOU 10 sup
pose that it will not eventually accom-
plish results largely to the advantage
Of the western states; but rather tc
invite attention to certain phases of its
Interpretation and methods OF its exc.
cution and also to the obvious pur-
pose and laborious effort of some OF
the officials charged with the respon-
sibility of it's execution to employ /,
as means Of personal agrandizeben,

most of the projects are located in
districts more or less occupied,-is re-
quired to join, and the methods en-
ployed to force the land owners into
these associations in some instances
are certainly open to criticism. This
is the first step in the sacrifice of
personal liberty and voluntary action
that characterizes the idea of govern
ment irrigation control
The conspicuous feature of the
water users association is that the
subscriber is required to convey
through 1t to the secretary of the in
terror lien or mortgage on his prop
erty. or the property that he may ac-
quire through the exercise of his
homestead right. The object of this
is to furnish the means for enforcing
obedience to all and whatever require
ments that may be deemed proper or
eXpedient by the officials in charge
and to enforce the payment of what
ever charge or expense that may be
assessed against the land reclaimed
may De. mere Is every
that the reclamation service will full
ly sustain the reputation of the gov
eminent for expensive construction,
for it must be remembered that not
only the actual cost of construction
but all incidental expenses of what
ever sort Gncluding innumerable trips
of an army of employees across the
continenD must be charged to the
various projects and eventually dug
out of the ground by the settler. In
SEES would amount to a very respecta-
BILE interest charge upon money in
vested in Carey Act project.
1t does not matter, however. for
whatever the cost may be it will
have to be paid for by the water user
and it will have to be paid for when
due, for there is no possible way of
escaping it or deferring it until he
can dispose of his crop or until he
| makes a turn to raise the money in
case of a crop failure. He certainly
cannot mortgage his land, as the gov
eTIlIIlent already mas d mortgage upon
| it. He must meet this payment as
promptly when due the first year as
| he is expected to do it the tenth year
however hard he may have struggled
to make his sage brush land pro-
! duce something to live upon, much
less raising a crop that will enable
to meet his payments.
| To illustrate: Supposing a set
tier entered 100 acre homestead
tract under government project,
| and assuming that the cost Of his
water amounted to $50 per acre-the
payment would be $3.50, and add to
this his maintenance assessment, es-
timated at $3.50 per acre, his total an
nual payment would amount to 1920
Before he could expect to make this
amount out of the land 1t must bt
fenced, cleared of sage brush, plowed
supplied with irrigating bitches, etc.
and sown to crop and this much
would have to be done in any event

Lyman needs bim for a prophet, and
The Tribune would say it needed him
