poses authorized by the reclama-
ton law including the extension
and completion of existing prof.
Gets and units thereof, and the con-
struction of new projects
Il may say that with a view of get
ting before the committee the inform
alton that has been compiled in your
department with reference to the King
Hill project, | introduced the enclosed
bill on the 5th of September, providing
for the reclamation of the lands en-
braced in the King Hill irrigation sys-
tenn in southern Idaho, and the COM
pletion of said system by the reclama
tion service under the direction of the
secretary of the interior, and formally
requested the chairman of the commit
tee, Mr.. Fitzgerald, to refer 1t to Your
department for report. He was dis
inclined to do so at that time, presum
ably OH the assumption that YOU would
furnish the committee with the data in
the regular way without having the
committee take the initiative.
Il feel confident, in view of the
shortage of the wheat supply in the
country and the high price Of food
commodities, and the fact that this
project will be Il complete failure and
entail great loss upon hundreds of en-
trymen on the land, if relief is not aft
furded, thu members of the committee
look with favor ON the proposition to
have the government take it over if
the facts could be brought to their at
tention.
II therefore desire to express the
alton toward securing the necessary
legislation by submitting a report on
the matter with your favorable recon-
incubation"

rector and chief engineer of the recla

lane CHANGED HIS
VIEWS ON DUTIES
when SHOWNLAW
Secretary Of the Interior
Feared He Would Be Re-
garded as Intruding Upon
Rights of Congress.

That Franklin X. Lane, secretary of
the interior, was willing to receive and
act upon suggestions and that he has
at heart the interests of the west is
said to be evident from the fact that
he has prepared estimates for compile
ton of the King Hill and other west
ern irrigation projects. especially those
of eastern oregon, which are to go to
congress. Secretary Lane at first took
the position that in as much as con-
gress had passed a law that the ap-
portionment of the reclamation funds
should be made by congress, he did not
feel like making recommendations or
submitting estimates except on request
from congress or one of its committees.
Congressman Smith of Idaho and
Sinnott of Oregon convinced Secretary
Lane the law imposed upon him the
duty of making annually to congress
q report and estimates on projects un-
der consideration. The result is the
King Hill and other projects are going
to be given serious consideration.
ONLY DUTY TO REPORT.
After Congressman Smith took the
matter of the King Hill project UP with
Secretary Lane, the head of the in
as follows:
Referring to your call yesterday
morning with reference to the King
Hill project, let me say that | do not
feel that | am free to initiate anything
with reference to this or any other new
project Congress expressly took from
the secretary of the interior the power
to distribute the reclamation fund;
therefore, / feel that it is my business
simply to report upon those matters
concerning which a report is requested
by congress. If congress or its commit
tees make request for :. report upon
the King Hill project, | shall be glad to
have the reclamation service make such
a report
POINTS OUT LAW.
Congressman Smith replied as fol z
lows:
MY Dear Secretary:
In your letter of the 18th regarding
the King Hill project, YOU state that
you do not feel free TO initiate amy
thing with reference to this or any 9TH
err new project, and ] take the liberty
of calling your attention to section 16
the act approved August 10, 1914,
from which l quote:
The secretary of the interior
shall, for the fiscal year 1916, and
annually thereafter, in the regular
Book of Estimates, submit to con-
gress estimates of the amount of
