Mr.. TAFT AND
THE HIGH LINE

There appeared in Tuesdays issue
of thar widely circulated publication
the NOmans National Daily, some
very interesting comment upon the
remarks made at Grand Junction Il
week ago today by President Taft
hearing on the Grand Valley High
I Line canal
/ However, the National Daily will
/ now have to abridge and revise this
comment to some extent in view OF
the de, e,laration made al Spokane last
TUESDAY by President Taft. to the
effect that he will ask congress to
authorize the issuance of 10 million
dollar in bonds for the purpose of
completing reclamation projects on
which work has been started in the
west. The people of the valley take
President Taft at his word in this
matter, and believe that he will ac-
complisl the desired results.
Under the caption Red Tape,
this is what the National Daily had
to say.
AT Grand Junction. Colo, the 9TH
er day President Taft promised that
he would promptly look into the mat
ter OF completing the Grand Valley,
or High Line, irrigation ditch prof.
I ect. Work on this ditch was begun
a year ago under Secretary Garfield,
who effected partnership agreement
between The government and the land
owners. Secretary Ballinger ordered
the work stopped on the advice of the
attorney general who declared that
the contract and the Garfield cur
rency certificates that had been is
sued for the work performed We're IL
legal Fifty thousand acres of land
We're to lave been benefited by the
project, aud every acre had been TAX
en- up ly~<settlers who anticipated
that the work would be carried to
"a successful conclusion by the gov
ernment.- These settlers are natural
ly anxious about the future attitude
of the government. Some of them
perhaps many of them-have invest
ed their all in lands that are practi-
cally valueless unless irrigated. The
question President Taft heard on ev-
cry side when he visited the distric,
was: What does the government in
tend to do Here is the PRESIDENT
