be thrown broadcast over the country
we ought to treat this matter simply
as a business matter-I want to sugI
gest to those who come here FROM
other states who are either DIRECTLY
acquainted with the Congressman and
Senators of those states, or with
friends who have acquaintance with
them that they write a few letters,
and explain the situation to them and
put themselves in touch with them.
have found that this is very effective
way to campaign on these matters.
They get the information from people
who are directly connected with the
enterprise, people on the ground and
they do not turn it down, and sug-
gest that, for the consideration of the
business men here and those who are
interested in this enterprise.
believe if we continue to urge this
matter as we have in the last month
or sixty days that we are going to get
sufficient money to complete the entire
project as was desired by the Recla-
nation Service. (Applause.)
We have expected great. deal of
the Service and yet at the same time
we have known that they have been
handicapped; there have been a
great many projects begun and it has
been necessary to distribute the funds.
These projects were not always be-
gun at the initiation of the Reclama-
ton Service but have often been at
the instance and urgent request of
people in different parts of the coun-
try; and while they began more than
they had means with which to COM
plete them and have been criticised by
eastern people particularly for that,
yet those of the west, who know the
situation do not find it in their heart
to criticise them for it, and it is
now up to Congress to furnish the
means to complete it; and as matter
of course there is no possible reason,
either in business sense or any 9TH
er, why the money should not be fur
nished, because it will all come back
the quicker. The farmers and those
who settle up these lands will pay it
back to the country. feel very hope
full but it must not be considered that
the proposition is over, because there
is always some one to tie up an en-
terprise where there is so many conv
cerned, and there is always more or
less question raised when you wish
to issue bonds for any purpose; and
while this is a legitimate enterprise,
and as necessary a proposition for a
bond issue as can be conceived of, one
which can be no loss to the Govern
ment and which is always great
gain and help to the community, yet
at the same time | want the active
interest and support of everyone who
can urge anybody in our favor and
we will have great institution work
ing for US.
know also, this is another
minor matter not in one sense
! but in another it is, as fan
as these certificates which are; out
, standing is concerned, are going tc
to be taken care of. II we dom

care of out of the funds although
: there will have to be little slower

A torney General as to the legality o
q the certificates, they are the peopl

It have been issued as they have, not
