RAISES OBJECTIONS
TO STATES PLAN
Highland Farmer Fears State
Board Cannot Carry Out
It's Proposal.

The Courier-Reporter is in receipt
of the following communication from
Highland farmer who points out
some objections to the states proposal
for financing the Kennewick irriga-
tion project.
Regarding the bond election Sep
tember 8. We all want more irrigat-
ing water and want it as quickly as
possible. The important question at
the present time is, will the states eff.
forts in our behalf hasten the building
of the ditch or delay it? Before vot-
ing on the bond question it is up to
us to determine this question our
selves.
IF we vote in favor of the bonds
we must bear in mind that this will
be the first ditch the state has ever
constructed and will be in the nature
of a tryout or an experiment. Has
the state sufficient experience and
have the state reclamation board (all
of whom serve without pay), the nee
essary knowledge to construct the
ditch at reasonable figure? We
must remember the only guarantee
the state gives us is on delinquent in
terest. They do not guarantee to
sell the bonds. We do not expect the
state to sell 500 six per cent irriga-
ton bond for $10O cash, but the state
does not guarantee us minimum
selling price and neither has the state
! funds available to purchase the bond
issue themselves.
/ The above are points to be consider
ed in determining the way we will
vote, but the big question to decide
! in our own minds is, can tho state sell
! the raw land on the cash payment plan
/ they propose? This is the important
point; because the state will not begin
to build the ditch until the land is
| sold. If it is our judgment the state
will be unable to sell the land, we
know they cannot build the ditch and
if we vote in favor Of the bond ISSUE
/ with this belief it simply means de.
laying the actual building of the DITCH
for as long a period as the state at
\ tempts to sell the land.
It is true the state agrees to give
up the project at any time we arr
able to secure funds from othel
sources to build the ditch, provided
the state has not completed the fl
nancial arrangement themselves a
the time other funds are available.
4 At present the contract with th'
state gives the state ten years to sci
I the land in, before the state has t.
give up the project. They can TAX
one month or ten years. if they so de
sire, and do not forget that the LAM
must be sold before the state can star
!! the actual construction work. Thinl
over the various land schemes you ar
familiar with and figure out how lonl
it took to sell the land on even easie
terms than the present project.
AS to aid from the U. S. reclama
tion service, Mr.. Moulton has state
publicly if the bond issue carried an
so long as there was possibility Q
the state financing the Kennewic
project, in all probability we coul
not hope for u. S. reclamation servic
appropriation. This means that
the bond issue carries we cannot hop
for any u. S. government aid as lon
: as the state has the project in han'
and the state will keep the projet

 The article, in part, says;
 Tt is a rather difficult task to write a new chapter in the chronicle of American roadbuilding. States like Massachusetts, New York and Penn sylvania have been building and main taining good roads for many years. Others like Michigan and Illinois have launched big state wide construction campaigns. California's concrete roads long have been famous. All the ave- nues to fame in the roadbuilding game would seem to be closed.

Out in Nebraska the other day Can

William Jennings Bryan's state, de-
livered a eulogy of Bryan:
Il have known Mr. Bryan politically
and personally for many years. He
has been an influence for good.
supported him three times for the
presidency with my newspapers, my
voice and my vote, and would have
done so again this year had he been
the candidate of the democratic party
instead of myself. AS a matter of fact
as a young man 1 gained from Mr.
Bryan's leadership many of the pro-
gressive ideas which I have since en-
deavored to propagate"
The Mr.. Bryan over whom Candi-
date Cox was so fulsome is the Mr..
Bryan who gave a candid opinion of
James NJ. Cox on May 10 last in
formal statement issued at Lincolni
"Cox's nomination would make the
democratic party the leader of the
lawless elements of the country and
his election, if such a thing were pos
sible would turn the White House
over to those who defy government
and hold law in contempt There is
no chance of his election if nominated,
but why should any democrat be will
ing to support a man whose nominal
ton would insult the conscience of the
nation? After disgracing his state he
aspires to a position in which he could
disgrace the nation"

embrace any of the progressive
