WHU YUMA VALLEY FARMERS
 1URHED DOWN HE GOyT.

II was generally expected t1a' he would accompany Secre tary Lane to Yuma from the coast.
 Among other dignified ut terances, the secretary said
 With the admission thar the past conduct of affairs hasn't been unqualifiedly CT. forless, and that future poi icies are subject to correction when found erroneous, think we may fairly proceed upon common ground to req son together to the end that we may now agree as to what in the light of present knowl- edge, appears to be just .anc equitable as between you anc the government.
 With such noble sentiment from Secretary Lane, the last excuse for resentment against the service was completely knocked out, and each subse- quent development, which has been rapid, has still fur tller convinced the right thinking element of the com munity of the sincerity and determination of the secre- tary in his effort, and posi- lively stated intentions that wrongs, where they existed, would be righted.
 The Examiner has always believed that there is good ground and just occasion for resentment and comment as 10 what has been done and how the administration Of the affairs have been handled up on the Yuma Reclamation project; still, it would be wiser, would be better, for all concerned if we will handle these grievances in the man ner suggested by Secretary Lane.
 That "the past conduct of affairs has not been unquali- fiedIy without error, and that future policies are subject 10 correction when found erro- neous." It is to this end that the Secretary of the Interior has instituted the present plan of a Board of Cost Re- view which is to convene for the Reservation Unit of Yu- ma project in the near future, and that before such board all such grievances will have full expose to the light of public criticism, with the view that
Arizona sentinel Yuma southwest., 1915-06-17

With Yuma project affairs from it's inception, ten years ago, 10 the elimination of Mir. Francis L. SelIew on the 27th day of last May, when the Secretary of tAe interior for mally accepted his resigna- ton, there is little surprise that the farmers of the Yuma valley on February 18th last, flatly rejected the govern ment'S proposition to join in a re-valuation of the Yuma project.
 They had believed from the beginning that the goverfl- next engineers estimate of approximately $35.00 per acre cost of the Yuma project, which was said 10 be a con- tract, was 3 right price to pay and, under Mir. SeileW'S ad- min'o+~o..v.l vI tne affairs of the Yuma project, the cost had passed that figure, then doubled and, finally, every one owning land had every reason to believe that the cost would reach $I00.00 per acre and with no assurance that it would stop there.
 Finally, the land holders of the Yuma valley had lost all confidence in any govern ment proposition and looked upon the latest government plan as 3 scheme to hold them to a new agreement and binding them to pay the ex- traya9ant charges which had accumulated against the land during the ten years of high finance by autocratic officials at least, it looked so to the men who have grandly Strug- gled behind the plow.
 Recently, however, all this has changed; the people have regained confidence in the officials of the Reclamation Service and everywhere on thirty projects there is a dis position to cooperate with Uncle Sam in strengthening out the tangles.
 The people of the Yuma valley, though the last to come in are gradually yield ing to the efforts of the eff cient Secretary of the lnteri- or, Franklin K. Lane, who re- gently addressed farmers meeting here, when Project Engineer Sellew was conspic-

 spent for. and usually being i prompted by appeals from the farmers and business men 1 asking for money to finish q work which was almost un- limited in scope and cost.
 The Reclamation Service has made mistakes. such as are common to all human en- deavor, and these mistakes were shared in by the farmers and business men.
 We are all glad that the Yuma project was begun, and is now almost completed; and now let Us all join hands and assist Uncle Sam to deter mine what the farmers can and should pay fer what they. have received"
 Notwithstanding all these truths, it has seemed that not until Secretary Lane became interested in the matter, per- Sistently prompted by such Ia friend of the Yuma farmers las Everett P. Teasdale of Los Angeles (who was elected on March 18th to represent the Bard Water Users on the " ma project cost review board) has any one of the govern ment officials publicly favor ed an adjustment of Yuma project costs.
 On the contrary, our own project engineer proved him. self utterly cut of harmony with the people here.
 On February 18th, in the lobby of the Gandolfo hotel, in answer to the question, Things are slow; are they not" he said:
 "WellI should say so," he said. You know, they turn- ed me down today; or, rather, they turned the government down today in a meeting of the water users, refusing to abide by the 20-year Exten- sion Law, and refusing to ap- point an engineer to meet with other engineers at Fl Paso to go over the affairs of the Yuma project and decide whether the charges, as they appear, are correct.
 Then he continued:
 T have done my work very faithfully; have spent the best years of my life in the performance of this work here. My duties so far as the

 Iso that we can proceed on
 fair and equitable basis as be tween the recIaimerS of tht land who are called upon tC
 do tie paying and the repre- IsentativeS of the government who are delegated to handle the affairs of the reclaimer; wisely and in their interest.
 A Yuma subscriber, in con. versation with the Examiner editor on May 18th, probably reflected inc sentiment of 2 very large proportion or the
 Yuma farmers and business men when he said, speaking of the Carlsbad cost review board report, which was later published in full in the Daily Examiner of June 2:
 That Carlsbad report, just at this time, may reflect 9 replica in the project here. hope that it may not be so, eX- cept that we all know the building charges are entirely too high, and it may develop that conditions similar to these as set forth in this re- port on the Carlsbad project have existed for a long time and are responsible for the excessive per acre cost of con- struction as, it now appears. You must recall that we have expended about $8,000,000 upon the Yuma project down to date. Divide this by 89,000 acres Of land in Yuma Indian Reservation, first unit; Low CT Yuma Valley, second unit; Gila Basin, third unit North Gila and the South Cila) :; and you can see how much per acre is charged to the land, and you know it will never stand it.
 The Examiner took excep- ton to the last remark be- lieving that the rich Yuma lands will stand such charges eventually, unjust as they would be if charged against the land; but it is just as true that such eXorbitant costs prevent the growth of the Yuma project for a gener- ation to come, and the Exam iner rejoices with the farmers of the valley that such over charge will never be realized.
