The Ronan pioneer. [volume] (Ronan, Mont.) 1910-1970, 1912-02-16


ceived from the Assistant Secre.
tary of the Interior this week in
response to the resolutions sent
the department some time in
December, 1911, relative to Civ
ing settlers and purchasers of
Flathead lands, some information
about the reclamation service
and the amount of land which
will be or are contemplated to be
irrigated.
From the tenor of the letter
such information will not be at
the service of the settler nor the
purchaser of any Of the land
here, and it is a hardship which
should not be imposed upon them.
It is more than probable that
some further correspondence
will be had on this subject and
an endeavor made to secure a
reversal Of the policy announced
in the letter.
Read what follows:
President Roman Commercial
Club,
Sir:-With further reference
to resolutions adopted by the
Roman Commercial club, Decem-
Der 4, 1911, regarding conditions
on the Flathead Indian reserva-
tion, Montana.
l enclose copy of my letter of
this date to the Honorable Char
les N. Pray concerning so much
of said resolutions as asserts that
the profiles, maps, and data of
the reclamation service showing
the number Of acres proposed to
be reclaimed in each farm unit
and embraced in each Indian al
lotment should be at the disposal
Of the homesteader or the pros
pective purchaser of an Indian
allotment.
Respectfully,
SAMUEL ADAMS,
First Assistant Secretary.
Hon. Charles N. Pray,
House of Representatives.
SIR
With reference to your letter
of December 10, transmitting
resolutions adopted by the Roman
Commercial club, and particular
ly that part relating to reclama-
tion policy, the following is quot
ed:
1T is understood that the rec
lamation service have profiles,
maps and data showing the num-
her of acres proposed to be re-
claimed in each farm unit and
embraced in each Indian allot-
ment. We submit that this in
formation should be at the dis
posal of the homesteader or the
prospective purchaser Of an In
dian allotment, that he may
know the exact area to be irri-
gated and thereby approximate
the water charge against same
from the construction of the
bitches thereon.
It is true in part that plans
have been made for future de-
velopment of the irrigation sys-
tenn, these plans being dependent
for their execution.
(a) upon the amount of money
and
(b) upon the conditions which
develop as the work progresses.
Experience has shown that it
is unwise to make public these
plans, which are tentative in
character, in advance of funds
being in hand for their execution.
There can be no guarantee
that the work will be finished at
any time or in any definite man.
ner, and material change in the
tentative plans are to be expect
ed when the work is undertaken.
For this reason, the estimates of
area which it is hoped or intend
ed to irrigate in the future should
not be given out. For example,

Democratic Paper Roasts
Democratic Congressman

tlnel gives the democratic lower
house of congress a severe drub
bing an account of it's recent ac
ton in refusing to have the
money trust investigated by a
special committee of that body
The Sentinel says:
Anybody who doubts the far
reaching influence of the money
power should reflect upon the
recent democratic house caucus
at which it refused to appoint a
special committee to investigate
the money trust. The demo-
Gratis had to put themselves in a
very absurd position to refuse a
popular demand. But when the
banking interests cracked the
whip, nearly two-thirds of the
democrats danced.
There is a money trust. The
evidence thereof is overwhelm-
ing. An independent steamship
company was sought to be Or
sanized recently. An electric
ailway from Philadelphia to
Atlantic City was planned. Both
were sound business enterprises,
not stock jobbing or raiding pro-
jects. They were greatly need
ed. They would have been
profitable. But they both inter-
fered with the Morgan financial
junta and both found it impos-
sible to sell their securities.
The money trust needs investi-
cation. The things it has done
and is doing make the keeper of
a faro game and the highway
MAN respectable.
The issue was squarely drawn.
Neither the existence of a money
trust nor the need of an investi-
cation was denied. The sole
question was whether there
should be an efficient investiga-
tion Or a make believe investi-
cation.
Underwood and other southern
reactionaries, together with the
Tammany democrats, were able
to swing a majority against a
real investigation. They claim
that the regular committees
ought to do the work, unmindful
Of the absurd position in which
they put themselves and the
record which the democratic
house has already made.
If the investigation should be
made by regular committees,
why did the house appoint spec
ial committees for the steel trust
and sugar trust Investigations?
This congress has been in ses-
sion nearly a year in the special
and regular sessions. Regular
committees have had as good a
chance as these two special COM
mittees. What Investigations
conducted by regular committees
have been comparable in facts
developed and public interest
aroused with the work of these
two special committees? Those
regular committees have done
nothing, at least nothing that
you could notice. Their very in
action is proof that they are in
efficient.
Bryan was right when he said:
1T is enough to know that Wall
street prefers regular commit
tees. We cannot afford to allow
accused parties to select the jury.
If our party is afraid to offend
the power of the financial inter-
ests that have fought US since
1896, we cannot expect public
confidence"
The democratic party has miss
ed a great opportunity and has
shown that the majority of it's
members in congress cringe be-
fore the same powers that stand
