WATER USERS ACCUSE.

The Payctte Boise water users are un-
questionably in the right of it when
they deny the statement Of cx-Secrc-
tary Garfield that the Government had
warned settlers against going upon pub
lie lands under reclamation plans. The
exact contrary is true. as thc president
of The Water Users Association states.
The Interior Department. by publicity
put forth as to the reclamation projects
and the new homes that would be made
by them, invited settlers, The assur-
nnce being carried throughout that the
Government would certainly provide
ample water for irrigation, All this
is a matter Of surh public notoriety,
that there cannot be the least question
about it,
Our Boise dispatch of yesterday
morning was a vigorous one in putting
the matter right, and In denial of the
utterly bascless statement made by Gar
field. The Boise-Payette project has,
il is shown. received over thirty thou
sand inquiries and thousands of settlers,
as the result of the Government s pub

people TO come in and settle on these
lands that were TO be reclaimed. Aud

Mr.. D. r. Hubbard. pithily SAYS:
"Settlers were never warned against
coming: they arc here waiting for the
water
And that is the fact. it is the fact
not only as TO Boise but as TO all the
other uncompleted projects. There can
not be the least excuse for n contrary
statement. The Government officials

faction upon the vast areas which these
reclamation projects would open to set

lowed; people by the thousands rushed
in TO settle. just as by thousands they
rush to every reservation opening. The
land hunger Of the American people is
enormous. it is eager, keen active; all
that is needed is TO have the word that
land can be had for the taking, at Il
mere nominal cost, and the rush at once
begins
Ex.Secretary Garfield has seriously
damaged his reputation by swearing
that the Government warned the set
tiers against going upon public lands
under irrigation projects before the dc.
livery of water The contrary is easily
proved. The fact that the Government
gave priority to those who came first
with their applications for such lands,
and accepted their filings with no hint
of reluctance or delay, is complete
answer to Garfield IS assertion. And it
is the most singular thing in the world
that he should make such statement
when he must have known that it would

AN ADVANTAGEOUS SAVING

good deal has been said recently in
Congress, and out of it, about the i'm.
mense unnecessary cost of running the
National Government. That cost ranges
pretty well along towards billion dol
lars per year, Senator Aldrich openly
says that three hundred million dollars
Of this could be saved by modern bust
ness methods; that the systems in use
in the different departments are an
tique. cumbersome. and ineffective.
Necessary information, as for instance,
the cost of carrying second class mail
matter, could be ascertained by mod
erniziug the systems. The President
whereas congressional investigation
committee reported that the one cent
charged covers the cost. A system of
doing business which allows such euor-
nous differences of opinion as this,
should surely he changed
An illuminating light is thrown up
on one item Of this needless cost in the
recent action taken by the Comptroller
of the Currency, as TO the methods of
dealing with the examinations and re-
ports of the bank examiners. Hereto
fore 1T has been the practice to deny
to the bank that is being examined, any
information rs to what the examiner
finds TO criticise. and knowledge of his
report is denied to the banks. The re-
ports of the examiner went direct to
Washington. where there was estab-
lished in the Comptroller office Di-
vision of Reports, with large clerical
force. dealing with the reports Of the
examiners and preparing letters of
criticism to the bank officials and di-
rectors. The great mass of this criti-
cism was found by the new Comptroller
to be trivial or of merely temporary
conditions. Thousands of letters were
received by the banks from this di-
vision of reports. annoying and trou-
blesome out of all reason as compared
with the value OF the criticism Of
ferod.
The Comptroller has now directed
that the bank examiners shall point out
during their examinations, to the bank
officials, anything that is merely casual
or subject TO immediate correction, with
view of having it corrected at once.

port about it, The result of the old
