FIRE PANIC AIDS
THIEVES TO ROB

NEW YORK. May 5.-Thieves took
advantage of the panic which over
came scores of tenants during a fire
in the five-story tenement at AIS East
Fifteenth street early today and en-
tered many apartments, stealing
clothing, cash and small articles of
jewelry. Quarter gas meters were
also broken open and robbed.
Twenty families were in peril in the
fire, which started in the apartment
of Miss Eugene Boner. a former star
at the Metropolitan. who sang there
during the regime of Conrfed. She
was painfully burned about the face
and hands and was unconscious when
found.
The firemen had hard work res
cuing some of the tenants. One
woman was trampled in the rush to
escape. Another was taken out over
come by smoke. In fact, the smoke
did more damage than the flames
and the loss was small.

and We've got to start in with alfalfa
and worry along somehow till we can
get paying crops.
1.-The worst of it is that we need
cattle to eat our forage crops, and
most of us have had to sell what cat
tie we had and can't buy more.
Then, too, when Uncle Sam started
collecting his reclamation money. he
found that every project was costing
more than the original estimate. On
some the increase runs into millions.
All this added expense, of course, the
settler was expected to pay.
On the North Platte project the
water-right charge per acre rose from
s35 to s45 and then to $50. On the
Minidoka it rose from s22 to $50, and
in some cases $40, and on many thou
sand acres the cost will be SIS or
more. On the Belle Fourche recent
entrymen have had to pay $40. in
stead of $50. The Uncompahgre prof.
ect will cost SIS to 800, instead of
$25. And SOFT goes.
The yearly charge for operation
and maintenance" has risen, too.
Uncle Sam has occasionally given
six months more time to pay the 20.

penalty to bring him nearly % per
cent. interest That is always the
way For every concession he in
creases his charges.
Except Garden City, the projects
have paid. or tried to. But in coll
lecting from them Uncle Sam has
over and again. broken faith with the
farmers.
In 1909 the North Platte settlers
couldn't meet the $3.50 per acre
charge and asked for more time.
Uncle Sam gave them two years, on
condition that they sign new con-
tracts for $45 an acre, instead Of $35!
Uncle was hard up. But the settlers
were in worse shape. SO they signed.

Water Right Charges a Great
Burden to TiIIers of the
Soil.
BY w. H. ALBUM

When. in my tour of reclamation
projects, l reached the Huntley prof.
ect in Montana. 1 was glad to find
signs of prosperity. The project en-
gineer's reports showed that the big
majority of settlers had been able to
pay their water right charges. That
was unusual.
Then 1 talked with II. K. Cohen,
secretary of the Water Users Asso-
citation.
1T looks fine-on paper." he ex-
claimed. But the farmers are meet
ing their payments with borrowed
money, and paying - per cent. for it.
We started out well, but we're in a
state of progressive indebtedness"
1t was the same story I had heard
elsewhere. Uncle Sam, eager to get
back his money, has retarded the de-
velopment of the projects.
The reclamation law provided that
the funds invested in irrigation
projects should be repaid by the set
tiCAb ia AOt tilUIc tiidii tCti duiiudl III
stalments." So, as soon as dams and
bitches were built and the water
turned on, the secretary of the in
terror started to collect. Na
Collections came hard. Hundreds
Of settlers had gone on the desert
land between 1908 and 1908. drawn by
the glowing words of reclamation
officials and relying on their prom
ises to furnish water soon. Such
promises were mostly unofficial
The settlers. however. believed them
The work dragged. The service had
undertaken too many projects at
once.
Many settlers, then, when water
was finally turned on, were already
broke. Those who had capital saw
it melting away So they nearly all
sowed grain, for which there is all
ways market.
That was fundamentally bad. As
f. 2. Jenkins, on the North Platte
project, explained:
1.-THE desert soil is rich in minerals.
but needs humus, or vegetable mat
ter. It's got to have alfalfa three or
four years. But we needed money;
we didn't know it wouldn't raise
grain right off-and the government
didn't tell us.

be at its best. it's worn out for grain,

BERLIN, May 5.-The Grand Duke
of Baden yesterday pluekily defended
himself from man who sprang upon
the steps of his carriage and lunged
at him with knife. Parrying the
stroke. the grand duke struck with
his sword at the man, who fell back
and Immediately was arrested.
The grand duke. who was accom-
panied by his wife, was driving from
Mannheim station to the local races.
The man under arrest is Anton
Jung. believed to be the agent of an
anarchist band who left France with
the object of planning an attack on

Bill at Once Means Big
Rate Increase.

told me. Later, when they were
poorer still, Uncle Sam gave them a
system of graduated payments-and
raised their charges to $50 an acre.
Some who had money refused the
$45 contract. They were coerced. c..
w. Scoville wanted to keep his old
contract, When he insisted, his oper-
alton and maintenance charge was
raised to 81 an acre per year, while
his neighbors paid $1.25, though Uncle
Sans contract with him provided
that assessments should be proper
tional." And whep he kicked, Car
mi Thompson, assistant secretary of
the interior, explained that Uncle
Sam was doing that to make SEQ
ville's payments, in the long run,
equal those of the farmers who had
signed the new contract. Finally he
had to come in, at the S55 rate!
"Akcontract,s a contract" he says,
"but you can't fight Uncle Sam. He's
a bad loser and he always makes US
pay for his mistakes"
Uncle Sam saw that the contract
price of $25 an acre wouldn't pay for
the Uncompahgre project, where the
farmers owned their land before he
came. So he asked the farmers to
adopt a little amendment to their
contract. They bucked, and then
Secretary Garfield wired that he'd
stop work on the Gunnison tunnel if
they didn't adopt it. So the amend
ment carried. AS a result, the secre-
tary of the interior can assess any
charge he likes against the project
and 1t becomes first lien on the
land, even before water is furnished.
OF course, there isn't much ques-
| ton of the value of Uncle Sans
work And as an abstract real estate
proposition the projects. in the long
run, can stand the charge. But so
far they haven't been able to stand it.
| Moreover it isn't an abstract prop
osition. It's human problem.
Thousands of farmers are eating out
their hearts in poverty and bitterness
over unexpected and constantly in
creasing assessments
| 1t looks as If Uncle Sam had got
these people into mess of trouble
and then treated them ungenerously.
In Mondays Evening Star the last
article of this series will offer a few
suggestions as to what Uncle Sam
ought to do about it.
