CONGRESSIONAL CRAFTS.

It will be noticed that congress has

no disposition to correct its own evil
practices, says the Kansas City Jour-
nal. Whenever an honest congrss sm an

encouragement that he considers the
undertaking hopeless and ceases to

SETTLERS FOOT THE BILL.

IT Secretary Lane decides that there
10 no use OF continuing work on the
government reclaim alton projects In
Montana, % he was reported the other
day ss having an idea of doing, be
must likewise stop the work In other
states, II he would be consistent.
The reason the secretary gave for his
contemplated action in Montana was
that from the evidence presented him
by Montana men he had come to the
conclusion that government irriga-
tion was q failure. He had yesterday
the same sort OF testimony from resi-.
dents OF Arizona, who had taken land
under the Carlsbad project. The
project was started five years ago;
1t is not completed, and instead OF the
l6, 600 acre.feet of " ater which as prom.
ised by the reclaim alton engineers last
year they had but 5000 acre-feet and
crops were ruined. To add to the
misery OF the settlers dam went out
1t q loss Of Sl00, 900, the settlers say
% q result of the mistakes OF the
engineers, and the cost of the Auke,
800, 600. was charged up to the men
who had taken the lands.
This Arizona Indictment is as
severe as that of the Montana settlers
but other states have likewise as
strong cases against the reclaim a.
tion service. For more than q week
now Secretary Lane has been listsn.
ing to the experiences of these settlers
from all of the states in which the
reclamation service has been at work,
and they are oil OF the same tendency
the government has failed to keep
agreements with the settlers, the cost
has been higher than the government
service In the beginning gave the
settlers to believe, due in most cases
70 mistakes of the engineers.
Senator Myers is quoted as saying
hat he does not believe the govern.
ment will stop work on tho projects
and be proposes as way out of the |
difficulty that the time of payment be
extended from ten to twenty years.
That might relieve the situa alton, but
the adoption OF the suggestion would |
not be getting at the root OF the
trouble. II the compl aints were con.
fined to one state or to one reclama-
tion district, then it would be pretty
good evidence that some particular |
division engineer was TO blame, or
that the uns atisf actory conditions
were due ty some local cause. But
where the criticisms are 90 general,
aud where they are all OF about the
same character, 1t forces the belief
that the trouble is withsithe higher
ups-that the directing head is wrong
and that while there may be scientific
knowledge, there is a ack of admins.
trative ability.
Let Secretary Lane, now that he
has heard the settlers and has their
evidence before him, call the men who
are responsible and see what sort OF
an explain alton they can make-Helsna
