Secretary Jones Outlines Plan at Irri.
cation Meeting.
Denver.-First Assistant Secretary
of the Interior A. A. Jones, in his
speech opening the irrigation congress,
in the House of Representatives cham
ber at the statehouse, outlined the
plans of the Department Of the Inte-
rior for the rehabilitation of irrigation
development in the West as follows,
stating. however, that these proposals
were but suggestions to be worked out
into definite form at the conference:
In the case of smaller irrigation
projects, careful organization on the
basis of thorough investigation and
the best engineering, SO as to obtain
capital at low rate of interest, and
thus relieve settlers of the heavy bur
den of overbonding and high interest
rates.
In the case Of the larger projects,
a plan of cooperation in financing be-
tween the federal and state govern
ments, to be worked out, 1t was hoped.
as the result of the conference.
In this connection Jones made a
otalcHucut VI great SiSHillCduCo.
This was that the question is COM
ing up whether the government is to
be reimbursed in full, or to what ex-
tent, for money advanced. Already
$100,000,000 had been spent in recla-
nation and it would require $4,000
600 to complete projects now under
way. This statement will make an
opening in the discussions that the
government should put water on its
lands for settlers at no charge, or at
less than the actual cost, as some are
contending.
In order to bring about the desired
new era in irrigation development new
legislation by the states and by Con-
gress would probably be necessary.
Jones' statement that the Depart
ment of the Interior had not lost any
confidence in the merits of irrigation
was received with applause. He was
followed throughout with the deepest
interest by the most representative
western gathering ever assembled in
Denver.
