Especial Correspondence

WASHINGTON, August 10 - The
new House committee on irrigation.
as reorganized by Speaker Cannon,
will be dominated by eastern men.
There are few members on the COM
mittee who have a comprehensive idea
of what the government is doing In
the way of retaining arid lands; few
men who would have gone on the
committee by choice, or because of
their special aptitude for its work.
Only six of the thirteen members are
from states in which government work
has been undertaken, and only two
of the six are from states in which
any great amount of government irri-
cation will ever be attempted. AS now
constituted the committee is as fol-
lows:
Reeder Kans., chairman,
Cole, Ohio.
Kinkaid, Nebr.
Engelbright, Cal.
Greene, Mass.
Andrus, N. Y.
Palmer, Pa.
Good, Iowa.
Smith, Tex.
Rainey, Ill.
| Hitchcock, Nebr.
Bartlett, New.
Thomas, Ky.
There is one government project in
Kansas, one in Nebraska and one in
Texas Four of the western members
hail from these three states. Engel-
bright of California and Bartlett of
Nevada are the two members in whose
states much remains to be done by
the federal reclamation service. All
the others are from states where irri-
cation has never been practiced, and
probably never will be. Thus, the ma
Pjority of the committee are not equip
ped from experience to deal with irri-
cation problems, and in passing upon
legislation, must do so from theo-
retical rather than a practical stand
point. Which is probably just what
the Speaker intended.
From the standpoint Of the West it
