J. $. SHOULD PAY FOR
 RECLAMATION WORK
 SAYS \. \. WORSLEY

Before an audience of flattering proportions at the City Hall Plaza last night, A. A. Worsley, of Tucson, can- didate for the democratic nomination for representative in congress closed his campaign in this county. It was also an appreciative as well as large audience, but perhaps such a speech would not have been so appreciated in any but an agricultural district.
 Mir Worsley devoted himself largely to the subject of reclamation and home making, which he declared was more difficult in the United States than in any other civilized country. So difficult had it become that more than S00,000 American citizens had ex patriated themselves and had taken the oath of allegiance as citizens of Canada. to the British crown. Con sidering that the government of the United States had recklessly given away oil and other lands of the pub lie dondains to the value of billions of dollars the speaker believed that it could afford to spare a quarter of a billion in the reclamation of the arid lands of the west, to be repaid to the government on as liberal terms as the governments of Germany and Denmark loan money to home builders.
 MT. Worsley's criticism of the dem- ocratic farm loan bill was such that if a stranger had entered the circle of his voice at that part of his speech he would have supposed that a carping republican was at work. He admitted that it might be step in the right di rection, but it was only a step, and in its present shape was of little value.
 He, a little more than inferentially, criticised the senators and represent atives of Arizona for permitting the bill to become a law without specific provision under which the settlers un- der reclamation projects might avail themselves of the law. They were now barred, he said, by the provision that money cannot be loaned on lands al- ready encumbered while all lands un- der reclamation projects are obligated to the government.
