RECLAMATION RED

of the Cost of the
Enterprise
A MONTHLY STATEMENT
H. P Seidemann Visits Caldwell for
Purpose of Getting in Closer Touch
With Settlers-Will Devise Ways
For Reducing Cost of Water to
Farmers-Inhnite Detail Necessary

H. P Sedemann, superintendent of
the fiscal department O. the Reclama-
ton Service, accompanied by F. l..
Davis, chief clerk OF the Service at
Boise, was a Caldwell visitor Satur-
day. The object of the visit was to
enable Mr.. Seidemann to get in closer
touch with the settlers that in the flu
ture they might be advised of the ac-
tual cost of the work on the Payette-
Roise project. He intends furnishing
the Water Users association with a
monthly statement o. the work done
and the expense Of doing it. The as
ISOLATION will in turn inform the set
tiers.
Mr.. Seidemann says that while there
is complaint at the red tape in con-
nection with the government reclama-
ton work much orr the criticism is
not we'll founded. It is not fair to
compare the cost of administrative de-
tail work on a government project
with the cost of such work on a small
enterprises. 1t is generally conceded
that the work OF digging the Panama
canal has proceeded with expedition
and economy. The red tape cost OF
the Panama canal was go of the total
cost of the project. The New York
Municipal Water Board operates at an
expense of at least gee. The Imperial
Canal Co. of California is over 79c
while the Reclamation Service is less
than 7To.
The necessity OF detail accounting
system and record-making necessi-
totes close and accurate methods III

airy, ne can readily recognize t $ ne
cc>s1ly, but NJ Ssi,emann >>l II
.hs. every effort is being made con-
stantly to eliminate undue matters Of
detail and that the water user shall
know regularly what the costs and ex-
penses are he is arranging to give
them monthly detailed reports.
AS Mr.. Seidemann is in charge Of
the business end of the fiscal affairs it
is his duty to devise and direct ways
and means of making each feature pay
to see that profit may accrue.
When profit arises from any feature
OF the reclamation work that profit, he
explains, is set over to the cost of the
project and the water user gets the
benefit in the end by the less cost Of
his water.
In the vast amount of accounting
one may readily realize the necessity
Of infinite detail and it is that that tie
public calls "red tape" and which the
officials strive continuously to reduce
to the minimum and still make accur-
ate, absolute history of every action.

For Easier and Better Farm Loans

ter: This commission will draft law
which will be presented at the next
session Of the legislature. In his let
tiers to the members who have been
appointed to look into present condi-
tons Governor Haines says:
considerable interest attaches to
the question as to whether or not a
law could be devised which would i'm
prove conditions in this state with ref
erence to the subject of farm loans
The question is prominently before
the American people at this time as a
result OF the trip made through Euro
pean countries under the auspices of
the Southern Commercial congress,
tor the purpose of studying conditions
which exist abroad in the matter of
farm or land credit loans. 1t has
been suggested that Idaho should have
law on this general subject and one
which will apply particularly to con-
ditions on our irrigation projects
where in the past it has been practi-
cally impossible to secure loans neces-
sary for. proper farm development.
I'm view of these considerations
have decided to name committee and
ask them to make study of this ques-
ton with the idea of reporting bill
to the next legislature, should this
committee conclude that law on this
subject would be helpful to the farm
ers of the state"

ALFALFA SEED CAN BE
RAISED WITHOUT WATER
Bixby & Walker Make Successful Elk
pertinent Near Middleton.

Messrs. BiNby & Walker OF Middle
ton have demonstrated that alfalfa
seed can be prohtably raised on dry
land This year they painted II acres
in rows the same as corn and cultivat-
ed it several times during the season,
In spite of the fact that the crop was
injured by rain and food they har-
vested four bushels OF seed to the
acre. The result OF the experiment
should prove encouraging to dry land
farmers
The Caldwell Experiment farm has
also some interesting experiments
along this line. Superintendent Ham
psen feels that eventually dry land
alfalfa may be developed.

BALES WALKER TO MOVE

The di-concertng news became pub

tract on the Santa Fe road in New
Mexico and is moving its equipment

secured from the land claimants who
have refused to allow the canal to he

The court Saturday confirmed the

and it was hoped that would remove

raised. though the Press is not in
formed regarding the basis of this OBJ
lection. and thinking there is no end

to keep his equipment longer in idle
ness.
As the controversy relates to land
at the head of the ditch, none Of the
land under the new high line ditch

This afternoon it was learned that
nothing more serious than conflict
between individuals stands in the way
of a resumption of work on the canal,
