Future Reclamation Plans Must Include Bringing Land
To the Stage of Actual Production. Otherwise-Failure

THE CONFERENCE Of governors Of western
sfpfes, and their Representatives, In Salt Lake
City, appears 10 have given a general endorse.
ment 20 Secretary Lane 5 plan Of soldier settlement.
u = recommended IN resolutions adopted by the
meeting, that each state enact the cooperative
legislation proposed by the interior department.
Tentative bills Of the kind wanted by the depart
meut have been sent 20 members Of the New Mexico
legislature, and 10 newspapers.
The trouble with passing legislation Of this
kind. 10 advance Of action by connrrss, h that we
do not know whether or not II viii NJ the condi.
tons which the congressional legislation finally will
establish. We do not know enough about the de-
tails Of the Lane settlement plan. Either Il has not
been worked out In sufficient detail, or the depart
menf needs a more effective system Of publicity
for al the public knows about IL now il that Seerc-
tary Lane proposes TO take our quarter Of a billion
acres Of idle land and sell Il 70 soldiers at terms Of
forty years.
We believe that the state should make some
provision, or establish some agency for cooperation
with the federal government IN soldier settlement
and reclamation work. That provision should he
elastic and the agency established should not be
restricted 10 a plan Of action not vet adopted We
must have something definite 90 cooperate with
before we begin cooperating; but we should be
ready 10 act when the occasion arises.
The trouble with the whole situation a. pre-
scented by the federal authorities is that the plans
have not been worked out. Plans that should have
been perfected and placed before the country many
months ago are just now IN the making. The gravest
injustice done the millions Of our young men who
went gladly into military service Is that no pro
vision was made TO provide for their return TO civil
life. unpreparedncss for peace may prove more
dangerous than unpreparedneSs for war, unless
there Is wise action al Washington. The duty OF this
and every other state to be ready TO cooperate
~ soon rs an intelligent plan has been established,
Is none the lcss imperative. Our duty 10 proceed on
our own hook on plans for employment for our
soldiers, il clear.
The national reclamation work Of the future,
whether by the federal government or In co-opera.
tion with the states, must eliminate wholly the pol
ley Of putting settlers on raw land, whether irri.
gated or unirrigated. Our national irrigation pro-
jecis. for the most part, are splendid engineering
works. The actual construction Of the storage and
diversion projects has been Of the finest type. But
the projects, as a whole, have failed. They have not
developed IA they should. with a few exceptions.
The reason has been that raw men have been put ON
raw land. The whole attention, in colonization,
has been % the promotion feature, getting the man
onto the land. His future after arriving ON the
land has been almost wholly overlooked. H. has

A INVOLVEMENT that the half.raic for I

A ENCOURAGEMENT that the half.raie for
~ freight ON feed for livestock will be abolished
on January 26 is AN amazing instance of how
government eau ignore actual conditions aud prac.
Teal necessities.
In all the history Of the southwest there has
never been a time when feed for livestock was 80
hard to get. There has never been a time when
feed cost 80 much money. There has never been
a time when stockmen had 40 little money with
which to buy feed. There has never been a time
when every practical aid that can he properly cx.
tended was ~ vitality essential 10 the preservation
OF a great industry.
And in the face of that situation a freight rate
designed 10 help the siockman, is announced for
withdrawal.
The proposed action on the feed rate is con.
sisicnt with the policy in regard 90 aid-loans 20
stockmen Of the southwest. The situation az re-.
CARDS livestock financing Is far more serious now
than il was last June. The Tightening up process
has been proceeding right along. There has been
no easing of. The stockgrowcrs who willingly
dumped their dollars into Liberty bonds have had
none Of those dollars returned. They need a prac.
teal. workable system Of financial aid more now
by ten times than they needed II last summer.
OF course our government can abandon the
southwestern livestock industry and leave il 10
work out It's own salvation. The industry will work
out that salvation. The livestock men Of this region
ara not %quitters. They will fight thsir way through.
But after helping ont every other industry every.
where else in the nation. when help was most need.
ed, II does look ~ IL the administration might be-
abandoning us 10 an extent that constitutes rank
discrimination.
