WOMEN TO ATTEND
DINNER TO BELLAMY
Playground and Recreation Expert to be
Commerce March g.

Women will be invited to attend the
chamber Of commerce dollar dinner" to
~, be7d March g. at the Hotel Paso del
D-~+e al which George A Bellamy plav-
round and recreation expert of the Cleve-
III q trade association, will be the
1ri1cfpaI speaker. Members Of the chamber
If cornT7erce will be asked to bring women
raletives 10 the banquet This will be the
second tfme that the business organization
~ DIaved host to women at a dinner, the
first time having been last January when
women offended the annual election din
ner of the association
directors of the chamber of commerce do
NOT intend to make a practice of inviting
the ssgentler sex to the dinners Their
main reason for doing so this time is the
FACT that BelIamy's speech, inasmuch as it
win concern the welfare Of children from
the recreation standpoint, will be Of great
interest to the women Of Ell PasO. There
win probably be one or two women speak
ers on the program.
Secretary Andrew Reeves has not an
nounced any other features Of the program
for the banquet He says that the speech
and entertainment numbers will be so ar
ranged as to end az 10 o'clock sharp. The
dinner will begin at 1880 Benamy's ad-
dress will deal mainly with settlement and
playground work.

too much water upon the land is be-
I coming more evident with each year.
The accumulation of ground water,
with resulting water lOgging Of
large areas, is but a reproduction OF
the natural conditions prevailing in
humid countries where rainfall is ex-
cessiTe and the rUnoff mited
If farmers will insist upon pouring
water upon the higher lands in excess
slTe quantities., not only will the plant
food be leached from the soil but the
encroachment of the ground water viii
continue year by year, and eventually
VIII neutralize the benefits of irriga-
ton by destroying more land than is
reclaimed.
Would extend time.
It is possible that congress may
grant power to the secretary of the
interior to extend the time for the re-
payment to the reclamation fund, Sc
that the whole sum may fall due at
the end of 20 years, instead of ten. I
favor such an extension and have so
advised congress in my annual report.
II is my intention to determine this
cost as accurately as possible by means
of a boa I'd of review or committee
on each project to consist probably Of
an engineer of the reclamation service,
an expert accountant representing the
secretary of the interior and an engi-
neer or accountant or other represen-
tatlye of the water users, to be Sc
lected by the Water Users association.
All items of cost assessed against each
project shall be thoroughly reviewed
and any Rems that may be objected to
by the water users shall be thoroughly
examined into and the justice or in
justice of the charge determined at an
open hearing.
Against the Non Resident.
There is another important matter
in which I think you viii agree with
me, namely, that any reduction of ex-
listing terms of payment should be ex-
tended, if ct all, with caution, to those
land owners who are neither residing
upon their lands nor cultivating them.
There is unfortunately, a class OF
investors, few in numbers 1t is true
who are holding areas of considerable
size, including lands for which water
has been provided at the cost Of the
project, and who are living in cities or
remote localities. The result is that
in the midst of a tract of highly Gull
tivated small farms there is OCCASION
ally a section or quarter section of
land which has been left untouched,
or perhaps merely plowed up at some
time. The presence of these deserted
areas is not only an eyesore but a
direct financial injury to all of the
neighbors.
Not Entitled to Benefits.
No one can argue that these men
should have the benefit of extension of
time in making payments, as through
such benefits il will enable them to
hold these lands still longer out of
cultivation, advance the prices, in
crease the load on the newcomer and

gress I propose that hereafter no part
o building costs nor bettermeat costs
snail be charged to this account. Nei-
Their shall charges be assessed and col
lected in advance upon an estimate as
10 what may be the expense of a given
years service, except in case of de-
fault Full and explicit monthly state
ments Of the cost operation and main
Ienance shall be made monthly and
pcsted in all the offices of the reclama-
tlon service on each project and in the
0Itlce of the Water Users association.
The totals shall be carried forward
from month to month and on Sovem-
Der 80 Of each year the total cost as
shown by such statements shall he in
increased by five percent to cover the
cost of collection and the total thus OBJ
tanned shall be assessed propOrtionate-
" to the amount of water used uDon
each acre Of irribigle land in the pro-
ject.
This minimum charge shall be as
sessed against the total irrigable area
of each farm unit and shall be the
same II the farm unit is uncultivated
and uses no water as if it were cuIti-
waited and irrigated.
There should be a well ordered def
mite system as to such collections. and
calculated to produce the best results
y providing a reh-.. or discount Of
five percent and not less than five
cents per acre to the man who pays
Within IS days, this burden is lifted
from him. The delinquent, however.
ffiADU-0 Dt LGQuAIGQ 10 pay the Iull
amount and one percent per month
additional for each month, or fraction
OF month, or his delinquency.
VIII Force Payment.
It should also be provided that any
water user who is delinquent for .ODer-
alton and maintenance charges for the
year ending November 80 shall no be
served with water for any ensurinac
season unless he shall on or before
May ! pay the operation and main
tenance charges for the then current
year on an estimated basis of 25 nor
cent increase over the charge of the
preceding year, ending November 80
The man who tries to hold 100 acres
and pay operation and maintenance
charges has four times the burden Of
the man with 40 acres and, while If is
true that he has four times as much
land, it is also true that no $50 acre
tract ever seems to prOdue as much Der
acre as 40 acres. The projects which
conform most nearly to the 40 acre
standard have the highest average
yields.
Too Much Water Destructive,
Perhaps the most vital question con-
fronting the water user today. and
really of greater Importance to his I'm
.ure welfare than the question of de-
