AS a result of his long tour OF the
West. Secretary Of the Interior Lane has
determined that a helping hand must
be extended to the farmers on various
irrigation projects. Upon his return yes
terday he stated that he will do all in
his power by regulation to extend the
time allowed to water users to pay for
the water.
Bankers in the West are not helping
irrigation farmers" said the Secretary.
Instead they are charging them from
10 to l. per cent interest on loans and
no man can do business on that basis,
consequently the farmers have no money
to work their claims. 1t is necessary
to put them on their feet They do not
want charity, but business treatment"
In connection with loans the Secretary
said that all the West expects great
things of the pending currency legisla-
ton This legislation has been received
with more favor than any other legisla-
ton" he said.
Would Raise Rig sum.
The raising of the s1OO.OOOOOo fund by
direct appropriation on a bond issue or
other means, to be expended on irriga-
ton projects Of the coUptry for the bet
terment of the irrigation farmers and
their lands is to be advocated by Sec
retary Lane.
He cited the fact that the expenditure
The Washington herald., 1913-10-11

OF such a fund would work vast benefit
to the entire country in furnishing an
additional source of meat supply TO take
the place Of the old open ranges OF the
west
Secretary Lane would spend this $780,
10000 in addition 10 the S35, OO0O00 now
available for irrigation work.
Getting back to conditions in the West,
Secretary Lane said the wool growers
and the sugar beet men are not at all
hopeless over the tariff, but declared that
business conditions are good, that these
men feel their industries are sufficiently
strong TO absorb the tariff shock and
that they are looking forward to hene-
fits from currency legislation.
Informal Luncheon.
The return Of Secretary Lane was
made the occasion Of an informal lunch
con yesterday at the departmental
mess" in the Bureau Of Mines. The
assistant secretaries, directors, commits
sioners and various other heads OF
bureaus were present.
The mess" which was organized dur
ing the summer, is a unique feature Of
departmental activities II brings to-
gether every day with the Secretary all
