GARDNER OBSERVES THE EFFECT
OF SOME OF bALu|NGER'S ORDERS
The False Plea Of mo Funds Paralyzcs New Reclama
ton Projects and Opens the Door Wide
to Private Exploitation.

The reclamation law provides
that the irrigation works shall be
paid for out Of the proceeds of the
sale Of public lands. But the money
is not really invested; 1t is merely
loaned without interest to the pros
pective settler, who pays back the
cost of the engineering works when
he pays for his land.
The consequence is that as each
project is opened to settlement the
money begins to pour back into the
fund. And at the end of 10 years
each project will have paid back
its full cost.
Ballinger has Endorsed the con-
illusions of Senator Carter's I'm
vestigating" committee and the or
der has gone out that NO. MORE
NEW RECLAMATION PROJECTS
SHALL BE UNDERTAKEN UNTIL
THE ONES IN HAND ARE COM
PLETED. q ~
There is. tremendous significance
in this order. 1t means that the
government is to open up no more
new lands until all the present un-
dertakings are completed, AND IN
THE MEANTIME the railroads and
the private water companies can
select and seize any lands not with
drawn from entry.

tween the two women leaders, a
third woman, Mrs. Della M Gilbert,
now head of reformed Christian

Mrs. Stetson taught that marriage

Gilbert, caused her undoing.
"She thought it was sin to

The Thought of sin," discussed
by Mrs. Gilbert, is one of the things
unexplained by Mrs. Stetson's

BY gibson GARDNER.

AS l go about the government
irrigation enterprises, l find many
evidences Of Secretary Ballinger's
unfriendliness To the reclamation
service. They are mostly small
things, but they are significant.
In one place, for example, Bal
linger gave orders that the engineer
in charge dismiss the irrigation
farmer" This man has, in the past.
been carried on the rolls of every
irrigation project. 1t is his duty to
show the newly arrived settler how
and where to run his bitches lie
gives him the dip" Of the land
and other advice that requires
knowledge of engineering. II there
Is no government expert. the settler
must hire man and pay $50 or $50
Tor this advice, for 1t Is work he
can not do himself. Tehre is enough
work on each government project
to keep oen man busy. and the Of
ficials OF the reclamation service
have always proceeded on the as.
sumption that to get the water &C.
tually upon the land was just as
much O. part OF the governments
undertaking AZ building dam or
constructing the big bitches.
But Ballinger again finds no
warrant in law"
Inspired apparently by the same
spirit, Ballinger has left orders at
various projects that ditch riders"
shall not be carried all the year on
the pay rolls, but shall be dis
charged when winter comes on
leaving the engineer in charge to
hire new men In the spring.
But" said one engineer, that Is
not so easy. don't know where
can get competent men for such un-
certain employment"
Ballinger's reclamation policy
might possibly be justified IL there
were any lack of funds. The con-
trary. however. is the fact. In spite
Of all the work done under the
reclamation law this fund has gone
on increasing. There is now be-
tween $S5,000.00O and $4,000, 900
available for new work.

RAID ON TREASURY
THIS IS CHARGE AGAINST APPA-
 LACHIAN BILL.
Senate Measure Passes House by SDaiI Majority Alter . sharp Debate-
 Alabama Members Divide.

Washington, March 1.-Under sus- pension of the rules the House today by a vote of 157 to 1H passed the Senate bill flor acquiring national forests in the Southern Appalachian and the White Mountains."
 The measure is an amendment Sn the nature of complete substitute Tor the bill passed by the Senate. The bill permits the requirement of lands in any part of the United States where such acquisition can be shown to be advisable by the forest reservation commission, created by 1t. after the geological survey has determined that such acquisition will promote or pro- tect the navigability of streams on whose watersheds the lands lie.
 Originally the bill was designed to cover the Appalachian and White Mountain ranges but the House sub stitute makes It's provisions applicable to all States.
 Mir. Weeks. (Mass.), in conjunction with MT. Lever, (S. O. reported the measure.
 In opposing the bill Mir Smith. (Col.) declared that 1t not only look ed to appropriations truly appalling in magnitude, but attempts to change the policy of the government in im- portant particulars.
 Tt is one of the most Vicious mees ures ever presehted to this house,. asserted MT. Madden. (Illinoiso Soon CT or later he predicted @ great scan dal would grow out of the legisla- tion.
 The bill also was advocated by Messrs: Lamb, fVa.) Rrownlow. (Tenn.) and Hefiin, (Ala-) while 1t was further opposed by Messrs. Fucker. (Me.) Garrett, (Tenn.) Picket, (N Co Payne. (N. Y) Underwood, (Ala. and Tawney. (Minn.)

FOR COOSA RIVER
SEN ATOR BANKHEAD IS CALLED
 INTO CONFERENCE.
The Provision Left in the River and Harbor Bill for the COOsa Is
 Found to Be Satfs-


 Washington, March 1.-(Special)- Provision for terms of the Circuit and District Courts at Florence, Ala, is in an omnibus bill which was sent to the President, but in enrolling the measure a mistake was made in a paragraph relating to Judges in Ha- waii.
 As soon as this was discovered, Rep resentative Clayton had passed In the House this afternoon concurrent resolution recalling the bill. The err TOT will be promptly corrected by both branches and people in the Northern Judicial District need have no fSar about tn e~Florence court matter az 1t will certainly get through this ses- sion and be approved by the Presi- dent.
 The conferees on the river and har- bor bill sent for Senator Bapkhead this afternoon to talk over the Coosa River item that was stricken from the meas use by the Senate on Saturday. Sena- tor Bankhead says that after going over the matter, 1t was found that the other provision left in the bill for the Coosa is entirely satisfactory, and there was really no necessity for the Senate to report the amendment, though when he and Senator Johnston tried on Sat urday to have 1t retained, they were under the impression 1t strengthened the claims of the river. They are en tirely satisfied and the Coosa, they think, gets practically all that was asked in a preliminary way; and as much as could reasonably be expected in this bill.
 There was a hot debate in the House today over the Appalachian forest re- serve bill which had previously passed the Senate. The Republican leaders put forward some of their big guns like Floor Leader Payne. Chairman Tawney of the Appropriations Com mittee, and Chairman Scott of the Ag- ricultural Committee in the effort to kill the measure. But on the final show down 1t was passed by majority of ten.
 The Alabama delegation voted as follows: For the bill: Burnett, Craig, Hefin, HobSon, Richardson and Wiley; Clayton and Taylor were paired and their votes were not registered Un- derwood was the only one of the Ala bamians who voted against it. Mir |. Underwood made strong short speech against the bill He said that while he was in favor of some of the best noints in the measure, he could not vote for anything that created a rowing commission and giving the members thereof unlimited authority to spend s1a 0OO. 900.

The higher criminal courts of New York City are. at the request of the commission. keeping records in great detail Of each person convicted of crlme and it is intended that a study of foreign born criminals and criminals of the second generation will be made in that city. The investigation, how ever, Is not confined to the larger ci- ties but is being carried into smaller centers and industrial communities in various parts of the country.
 The most extensive and important work undertaken by the commission Is the general field investigation into the economic and social status of immi- grants in various sections of the coun- try.
 Investigations ia South.
 A special field investigation Is being conducted in selected localities in the South and 1t will cover the sentiment of legislative bodies as indicated by Legislation enacted affecting immigra- tion. Inducements and obstacles to immigration such as climate, character of soil. free or cheap land, amount. variety and regularity of work through out the year, wages paid and hours of emplowment will be shown. Informa- ton Is being gathered also concerning the employment of women and chil- dren. the prejudice against races, the nresence or scarcity of fellow country men. church and school facilities and vast amount of other information
 Tho investigation of oriental immt- grafton has been confined thus far to the Rocky Mountain and Pacific coast regions and special agents have been placed on the inquiry concerning the Japanese Without the census recent lv ordered in California. the agents Of the commission claim they have fairly accurate information concerning the numbers of Japanese in California, their distribution by counties and in- dustrial districts. their occupations and trades In California and Wash ington the report. when made will CO., yer the presence of Japanese.

 The public school is declared by the commission to be the most potent in- fluence in promoting the assimilation and Americanization of the immigrants
