STATE IRRIGATION
AND RURAL CREDITS
CONFERENCE CALL

The State Irrigation. Drainage and
Rural Credits conference authoriz-
ed by the oregon Irrigation Congress
will be held at the Statehouse In
Salem. March 0. Call for the con-
ference has been issued by the
special committee which was given
the responsibility and more than
half the delegates from represent
atiye state organizations have been
appointed The conference dele
gates are asked TO formulate plan
for state guaranty OF irrigation and
drainage securities and system OF
State Rural Credits,
II Is proposed TO draft IA constitu-
tional amendment for submission 10
the people at the next general ecec-
tion. The conference will probably
decide whether TO submit enabling
legislation at the general election or,
later, TO the legislature.
Already there is sweeping the
state conviction that no more inn
portant gathering has ever been plan
ned in Oregon. II vii have the big
ness and serious responsibility of a
constitutional convention. The best
brains and experience from all walks
of life and all occupations will be rep
resented and will be called upon to
produce the plan, which when enact
ed into law, and administered. will
solve the states great development
problems of irrigation and drainage.
All hOrities-hnancier and farm
ers, railroad men and organized labor
have made statements recognizing
the necessity of action and supporting
the fundamental character of the
procedure outlined, The only doubt
has been as TO whether prejudi6es and
differences can be laid aside in the
common purpose to do now a big
thing for Oregon.
Because of the great public inter
est in, and the significance of, the con
ference, many will probably journey
to the state capital from all parts of
the state TO witness the proceedings,
their concern keener, even. than If it
had been a session of the Legislature
