FIFTH DISTRICT CONGRESSMAN
HOME FROM TOUR OF
WESTERN STATES.
QUOTES DEMOCRAT TO
PROVE HIS STATEMENT
Problem : Of Production Not Yet
Solved and Next Congress Will
Have Much Work to Do--Money
Needed for Drainage as Well as
Reclamation.

Cedar Rapids. Aug. 5.--Asked what
was the outlook for the republican
party this year, Congressman James
w. Good. of this city. chairman of
the house appropriations committeeA
who has Just returned home from a
congressional trip to the national
parks and some of the national re.
clamation projects, said:
This is n republican year. In
saying this, l am merely echoing the
words of one of the keenest obsery-
ers OF things political in this coun.
try. That is United States SENATE:
George e. Chamberlain, of Oregon, II
democrat who has publicly stated his
convection that victory will perch o..
the republican hammer this fan"
Mr.. Good said that the object of the
congressional trip just ended was
primarily to inspect the government
reclamation projects, as suggested
bX John Barton Payne, secretary Of
the interior. in n letter he sent to
tied twelve OF these. reclamation
projects--about half the number in
the United States.
The congress- just ended appro-
pr!ated eight million dollars for rec
lamation work. said Mr.. Good
This was a cut of so per cent In
the estimate. There are only eight
Il
and congress- refused to appropriate
more money than there was in the,
fund"
1t required one thousand miles of
automobile travel, according to Mr..
Good, for, the congressman to get
around To the various places visited.
One of their most exciting expert
enees was getting caught in a sand
storm in Nevada. when the sand was
beaten against their faces so mar.
as to make them bleed.
At Snnnyside, in\ the Yakima VAL
ley section of Washington state. the
visiting congressman found fruit
full smiling valley which irrigation
had reclaimed from an arid waste.
The costTof irrigating this land was
SS,60O;000 and the value of the pro-
ducts the first year thereafter was
h2,5o0.o00. That. Mr.. Gooa CONSUMERS,
Is the answer to the question as to
whether the money spent for recia-
nation Is worth while. But there has
been one objection to this work. Some
OF the irrigated land became water
soaked and is badly In need OF drain
age. -
Congress next year" said Mr..
Good. ;'will spend almost as much to
Drain arid lands as was spent orig
inally for irrigation. Unquestionably.
also, the government will ne-c to
spend more in future than ever in
the past. The business of this gov
eminent is the greatest in the world
and needs business administration.
"rhe problem of production is by
no means solved and there will be a
great deal of work for the next con-
gross to do. We will have to get back
to---I was going to say back to nor
mal-but l don't like that term. We
will have to place this government
and it's business on a new plane"

Atlanta business men at the chamber
of commerce for the purpose of hear
ing the plan outlines.
Among those who spoke in regard
to the necessity for a large sustain
ing fund was J. A. Brown, of Chad
bourne, N. c., who is a prominent
business man and member of the fl
nance committee of the cotton as
sociation.
Cotton" said Mr.. Brown, is the
life of the South. Our whole prosper
ity rests upon the prosperity of the
cotton producer. Without organiza-
tion the producer cannot meet the
many new problems that confront
him. If the South last year could af-
ford to invest one billion dollars in
it certainly can afford
to invest $150,000 to save the pros
perity of the cotton producers.
This figure of $15O,0OO is the
amount proposed to be raised in the
cotton belt by sustaining member
ships. The remaining $4,000 of the
100000 fund will be raised in other
sections of the country.
