RleATloN MEETING

Denver, Colo, April 9.-United ac-
tion by state and federal governments
in financing irrigation projects in the
west was advocated by A. A. Jones,
first assistant secretary of the inte-
rior today in opening the irrigation
conference called by Secretary Frank
lin X. Lane.
Before an audience including state
officers, financiers and irrigation ex-
perts from all parts of the United
States and from several foreign lcoun-
tries, the representative of the inte-
rior department was given enthusias-
tic and repeated applause as he out
lined the policy for the financial re
habilitation of irrigation in the west.
IF possible we should make invest
ments in irrigation projects safe, de-
clared Mr., Jones. 1--WE should tighten
the financial burden upon the settlers
who ultimately pay the cost. We
should provide them with cheap
money; but you can't raise cheap
money without good security"
The assistant secretary then sug-
gested combined action by states and
by the federal government, particu-
larly in financing large irrigation en-
terprises which ordinarily have diff
ficulty in enlisting individual capital.
At the conclusion of Mr. Jones'
address considerable time was taken
securing names and addresses of ac-
credited delegates. The assistant sec
retary then announced that the secre-
tary of the interior had issued broad
invitation to all persons interested IN
irrigation and that the meetings were
open to all. 1t appeared that officials
delegates from about is states were
in attendance.
