Arizona republican., 1911-09-13

The Hon Marcus Aurelius Smith,
in order to remove any doubts that
might be lingering in the democratic
breast, makes it known that he is
a candidate for the United States
senate We had rather suspected that
the Tucson statesman was nursing
a senatorial ambition.

pledge themselves to work industri-
ously for the amendment, but in
making their choice at the polls the
people owe it to themselves to select
men whose ability, industry and good
faith are not open to question.
Arizona republican., 1911-09-13
A Question of First Importance.


It is gratifying TO note that the
Hon. Reese NJ. Ling, one of the many
democratic candidates for the United
States senate, has declared emphati-
cally in favor Of 4 law by congress
10 extend the time in which water
users must make repayment to the
government for its disbursements in
reclamation projects We have no
doubt that all other candidates for the
senate and for the house of repre-
sentatives, republican and democratic
aspirants alike will make the same
declaration as Mr.. Ling.
The Republican was the first news
paper in the country to advocate such
an amendment of the Newlands recla-
nation act as will give land owners
longer time in which to pay for stor-
age and irrigation systems construct
ed under that act Following the lead
Of this paper, other publications are
beginning to advocate the proposed
amendment
The total cost of the Roosevelt
reclamation project reservoir, canal
systems and power lines and power
stations, expense of administration,
and SO forth, will exceed eight mil
lions Of dollars. The ranchers Of the
Salt River valley went into the con-
tract with the government for the
construction Of the reservoir dam with
the understanding that the total out
lay would approximate three mil
lions. The scope of the project has
been steadily extended, so as to bring
under the ownership of the water
users association all the canals in the
valley-comprising more than 525
miles-and in various other ways the
cost Of the project has been increased
far beyond all original estimates. And
this comprehensive policy which has
resulted in this increased cost has
been a wise policy-nobody disputes
that. But to require repayment Of
the whole cost within ten years would
impose an unjust and unnecessary.
burden upon the land owners.
All other reclamation projects have
shown the same result-necessarily
increased cost much greater than
original estimates.
In fixing ten years as the period Of
repayment. congress was guided by
guesswork.
It having been demonstrated that
congress made a mistake and fixed
too brief a period, it is the plain duty
of that body to amend the law and
make the terms of repayment less
oneroug.
But congress (the senators repre-
senting the central, northern, east
ern and southern states) will not take
the initiative in amending the New
lands law. Not only will the west
have to take the initiative, but the
matter must be vigorously pressed
upon the attention of congress by the
senators and representatives from the
mountain and Pacific states.
It was recognition of the immense
Importance of this question-its press
ing Importance so far as the Arizona
reclamation projects are concerned
which led The Republican to attach
extraordinary value to statehood for
the territory.
With two United States senators
and a representative earnestly COM
mitted to the policy of securing the
needed amendment of the reclama-
ton act, we may reasonably hope for
success.
AS already stated, we have no doubt
that all the candidates for the SEN
ate and for the house will readily
