Opposition to Klamath Lake Reclamation

A BILL in congress introduced by
n Raker of California and providing
for the drainage Of the Klamath Lake
region in California and Oregon with
view to soldier settlement has stirred
up a three-sided controversy. The ag-
ricultural department experts say
these lake bottoms and marshes would
become simply alkali flats, unfit for
cultivation. The former Klamath was
cut off from its water supply and
largely dried up last summer. The
agricultural department. soil experts
say the dried-out land is too alkali
for farming purposes. The govern
ment reclamation service undertook to
drain large area here several years
ago and abandoned the project as i'm
practicable after an expenditure of
$2S3, 225. The United States biologi-
cal survey says that forage for live
stock in. the marshy lands is all that
the region will yield.
IR the current number of the nat
ural history magazine, DR.. e. w. Mel
son, chief of the biological survey,
presents arguments for the preserva-
tion of the region as one of the most
notable migratory bird preserves in
the United States.

Senate VIII Consider New Budget Measure

TINS power would have to be exercised
infrequently, and that the secretary.
together with the commissioner of the
budget would assemble, revise. and
prepare all estimates of expenditures
for the government.
In addition to recognizing the pres
ent methods of handling the estimates
of expenditures and revenues the Nc
C0rmick bill creates an establishment
known as audit bureau, under the d.
rectiOn Of a controller general.
This bureau must audit and review
the expenditures and report both to
the president and congress, for the
information of the executive and the
legislative branches.
Students of government finances re-
gard this measure as a tremendous
step In the direction Of bringing the
governments expenditures within its
income
The statement has been frequently
made in congress that no private en-
terprise. managed as inefficiently with
respect to finances as the United
States government, could long escape
bankruptcy.

The Female of the Species Is Thriftier

"Twice as many women are saving
money today as before the war;" said
Miss Nina Y. Carter, in charge of the
womans department of Chicago
bank.
This is caused by the fact that
there are more women who have had
occasion to handle money since the
war; that there are more women who
have gone into business, and that more
have been thrown on their own re-
sources" she said.
Five years ago the number OF wom-
an depositors at her bank, according
to Miss Carter, totaled 215 with $780,
900 in savings. Today there are 1,7OO
with total deposit of $1,000,OOO.

Containing a great area of swampy
land with shallow-water lake in the
middle, the Klamath Lake reservation
forms an ideal home for myriads of
migratory wild fowl, such as ducks,
geese, grebes and pelicans, during the
nesting season and the spring and fall
migrations.
DR.. Nelson charges the land pro-
moters of the vicinity of klamath
lake with endeavoring to secure the
abolition of the reserv tion in private
interests, and declares that such pro-
tected spots are becoming SO few that
now the destruction of each one be-
comes irreparable. This is especially
true of such a large and notable area
as klamath lake. s

most Importance to the several can
didates for the Republican presidential
nomination Primaries or state con.
ventions were held in New Jersey,
Ohio, Massachusetts, Washington Mis-
souri, and Idaho. The most exciting of
these was in New Jersey, where Gen
eral Wood and Senator Johnson were
contesting for the delegation. The gen.
eral came out ahead by about 1000
votes and the senator's campaign
manager announced that a recount
would be asked in Essex, Gloucester,
Morris and Camden counties. There
were vague charges of crooked work.
The delegates at large will be Sena-
tors Edge and Frelinghuysen, pledged
to support the choice of the people as
shown by the primary, and e. G.
Stokes and w. N. Runyon, pledged to
Wood. OF the district delegates it
was likely Wood would have eleven
and Johnson ten, with three unpledged.
According to the political experts in
Washington, the results in Ohio vir-
tually eliminated Senator Warren G.
Harding from the race for the nominal
ton. for while he received the states
presidential preference Endorsement,
he failed to capture the solid delega-
tion and this is usually considered ia
tai to the chances of favorite son.
Furthermore, Harding's campaign
manager, Harry M. Daugherty, was
defeated for delegate at large, accord
ing to unofficial returns. Wood, it was
estimated, might have about one
fourth of the Ohio delegation.
Massachusetts delegates wilt give
Governor Coolidge complimentary
vote and after that they will go where
they are led by the big four, Senator
Lodge, Speaker Gillett, Winthrop Muir
