PROJECTS
TOPIC Of CONFERENCE
Secretary Lane Hears Argu-
ments of Water Users From
Colorado and Arizona.

Colorado irrigation works, especially
the Uncompahgre project. were taken
up for consideration today by Score
tary Lane at his conference with the
water users associations.
The information thus far developed
at the conference has been of great
value to Secretary Lane. who said
today that 1t would enable him to deal
the projects with first-hand and i'm
partial knowledge.
Former Representative John c. Bell
of Colorado made the principal presen-
tation today OF the affairs of the I'm
compahgre project.
Arizona Project Considered.
The Yuma irrigation project in Arizona
consumed most of the time at the con-
ference yesterday. Louis c. Hill. super
vising engineer in the reclamation service
was directed by Secretary Lane to furnish
certain data In connection with the Salt
river project. The Sunnyside project in
Washington was then taken up, and Mr.
Morris was given short time to speak.
He charged that Mr. Newell. chief of the
reclamation service. had sighted the
board of the Water Users Association
and had told 1t that he could not con-
slider it's anidavits. Mr.. Newell could
not remember the incident, but offered
an apology. although he disclaimed an in
tention Of discourtesy.
The testimony on the Yuma project
showed difference Of opinion as to the
amount Of water used q year While the
users seem to agree that this project
should be completed. Director Newell ex-
planned that 1t has not yet been dem.
onstrated that the use of such large
quantities Of water would not destroy
the land. as a result OF the alkali salts
being brought to the surface.
Praise for, the reclamation service was
given by Mr.. Reager of the Orland prof.
ect, California. He suggested. however
that the collection of water rents. etc
could be made with less friction through
the users association than by the gov
eminent.

LEGISLATIVE PROGRAM UP
Democratic Caucus of Senate
Fails to Act on Senator
NeWIands' Resolution.

The democratic caucus Of the Senate
today had before il for consideration
Senator Newlands' resolution which
would fix a legislative program for the
Senate and among other things direct
the finance committee TO inquire into the
advisability of distributing tariff reduc-
tions over a period Of four years. rather
than enacting a sweeping bill for re-
auctions at the outset OF the administra-
ton.
Senator Newlands' plans would have
the finance committee also consider the
ACCESSIBILITY of establishing an admins
trative tariff board. with power To I'm
yestigate tariff schedules. and to reduce
or increase rates within limits prescribed
by Congress.
Senator Thomas OF Colorado spoke in
favor of Senator Newlands' plan. II is
understood that a plumber OF the western
senators who are opposed to free wool
and free sugar would like To see thu.
plan adopted.
Senator Newlands resolution was not
acted upon. however, by the caucus.
which adjourned to meet at the call or

TWO SALARIES FOR GOFF
Senator Will Receive $14,500
Year, According to Treas
ury officials Ruling.

Senator Nathan Goff of West Vir-
ginia will receive. aside from his SEN
atorial salary of $500. an additional
$1,000 as the full pay of retired fed
eral circuit judge, making his compensa-
ton during his term in the Senate equal
to the salary OF an associate justice Of
the Supreme Court.
Controller Tracewell of the Treasury
today granted the senator's appl:ca-
ton for salary as retired Judge un-
der the law authorizing full pay to
any federal judge who, having reached
the age of seventy. resigns after ten
years of service on the bench.
The controller held that a retired Judge
performed no judicial duty and conse-
quently did not hold a position within
the meaning Of the statute prohibiting a
government employe from drawing salary
from two government positions.
He pointed out that such seemed the
conclusion OF the Senate In admitting
Judge Gon in view of the constitutional
provision that no person holding other
Office under the United States shall be a
member of either house of Congress-.

CIVIL SERVICE PROBE
REGARDED AS LIKELY
Senate Committee Discusses
0verman and Pomerene
Resolutions for Inquiry.

That a determined effort is to be made
to improve the civil service laws, and 10
have the law carried out in letter and in
spirit. was made manifest at meeting
today of the Senate committee on civil
service. which has before il the resolu-
tions of Senator Overman and Senator
Pomerene calling for a searching in
vestigation Of the administration OF the
civil service.
The committee did not reach any de-
cision in regard to reporting out a reso-
luton calling for an investigation at its
meeting today. 1t adjourned to meet either
at the call Of the chairman. Senator Pom
creme or at the next regular meeting
day. next Tuesday. A conference of the
democratic senators had been called for
IL o'clock, and in consequence todays
meeting was comparatively brief
Want Laws Strengthened.
Republican senators. including Sena-
tors Smoot and Cummins. urged that It
would be more important to strength
en- the civil service laws. and TO see
that they were properly enforced than
to get the vast amount Of information
relating to the thousands OF employees
now in the government service, which
is called for by both the Overman and
Pomerene resolutions. They declared
that 1t would be a tremendous piece of
work to obtain all this information.
Senator Cummins. formerly chairman
OF the civil service committee, urged
the need Of legislation which would
prevent the entrance into the civil
qualified to enter, and which would
bring about a system Of promotion for
merit alone.
Senator Pomerene told Of instances
known personally to him where the civil
service administration had not been such
as he deemed IL should. He spoke of an
instance which occurred last year. He
wanted an examination held of applicants
for positions in the internal revenue serv-
ice In his state. A long list of elegibles
was already complete
No Discussion of Hearings.
Members Of the committee told Sena-
tor Pomerene that in their opinion a re-
fusal to hold another examination where
a list OF eligibles was already provided
was justified. The committee did not dis
cuss the question as to whether there
should be hearings il an investigation is
to be had.
1t is believed that a resolution of in

ton will be forced through. and also
that the civil service laws will be
