BUILDING CHARGES ON IRRIGATION
PROJECTS REDUCED BY SEC. LANE

or they may have the credit applied
to the operation and maintenance
charges now due.
No person is to receive the bene-
fit of this concession on December l
next who has not paid all the am
cunts due for operation and main
tenance and who has cultivated less
than one-half of the irrigable area of
his land or not less than 5 acres for
each full irrigation season since wa
ter was first available for the land.
1t is provided further in the case
of those who are now delinquent and
subject to cancellation that if they
make payment of the operation and
maintenance charges for irrigating
their land. no steps will be taken to-
ward cancellation until December 1,
1913
Secretary Lane announces further
that he will urge upon congress the
passage of some act giving a further
extension of time for the payment of
the building charges under proper
limitations and conditions.
THE man who makes a farm and
irrigates is the man / am primarily
interested in, not the land specula-
tor said Secretary Lane today. I'VE
have been making money for land
speculators, not homes for farmers
on some of our projects. l find that
We have under our irrigation projects
l 100000 acres of irrigable land,
land upon which we are prepared to
deliver water. but we are irrigating
only $50 600 acres. over 95 per cent
of the remaining $4,000 acres-all
irrigable but unirrigated--is land in
East Oregonian : E.O. (Pendleton, OR) 1888-current, 1913-06-30

due corresponding credit Is to be
given on the next annual installmenl
private ownership. The man who ir-
rigtes his land should have the cas-
lest terms from the government be-
cause he is the one who is giving the
public the benefit of that land. The
people of the United states have in
vested SIS, 600, 600 in building irriga-
ton works to irrigate farms; not to
raise the values of lands held out
from use. The man who chooses to
hold his land from use has right to
speculate upon his own resources but
not upon the advance loan of the
government. I think that conditions
justify special consideration being
given to those farmers who have gone
upon these reclaimed lands and done
their best to cultivate them. The no.
tice given today is an act of leniency
toward a debtor who is in difficulties.
1t should be said in justice to the wa
ter users that at the recent hearing
not one of them even suggested de-
sire that the government should
waive its debt; all said that they
were prepared to meet their obliga-
tions to the government if terms
somewhat more favorable were given
Less than one-half of the water users
have paid the building charges which
were due December l, 1912, and
which will be delinquent December l.,
1918. At this time it becomes ne
cessary to insist upon payment of op-
Grafton and maintenance charges
which should have been paid last
spring and were deferred owing to
the pendency of the Swigart VS.. Ba-
ker case in the courts in which the
right of the government to collect
such charges has now been upheld
In view of all of these conditions it
seems a wise and just thing to reduce
all present building payments"

IT, view of the representations made
at the recent conference of the Water
Users Associations in this city, and
recognizing that the low prices for
farm products in 1912 have rendered
Il difficult for many settlers to meet
their obligations TO the government.
Secretary of the Interior Lane today
issued an important public notice to
all settlers on National irrigation pro-
jects.
BY this order the building charge
for the last installment which be-
came payable is reduced to one-third
of the amount due. but not to less
than 0 cents per acre; the payment
of the balance is to be deferred and
added to the last installment on the
