installment plan now in operation
and the substitution Of a system
whereby repayments shall be based
upon the productive power of the
lands irrigated without any fixed
period when the total investment
shall be returned. The production for
the preceding 10 years would be es-
timated from the average gross an
nual crop production for the proceed
ing 10 years or all years OF record
and the yearly acre repayment fixed
at five per cent OF this figure.
A further step designed to bring
permanent relief was proposed by
the committee in recommending q
detailed survey of all projects for
the purpose of classifying lands into
zones according to their agricultural
value. Lands found incapable OF sup
porting a family and repaying con-
struction costs would be exempt from
the repayment requirements as also
would farms in the course of devel-
opment until their productivity war
ranted the assessments.
To relieve the water users OF their
heavy debts, the committee recon-
mended that all unpaid and deferred
charges against their farm units be
transferred to the construction costs
of the projects and that this figure
be used in estimating costs to be
paid in the future. The committee
would grant this privilege. however.
only upon the condition that legally
organized water users associations
or irrigation districts take over COM
plete care, control and maintenance
of the projects.
Credit Is Extended
To assume initial financial sue
cess of the operation of the projects
by water users organizations. cred
it of years operation and mainten.
ance charge would be extended to be
covered in the construction account
and repaid later as part of the con.
struction repayments. Accumulated
profits from power plant operations
leasing of grazing and farm lands
| and sale of townsites would be cred
tied to the construction cost when
| he water users take over their man
agement.
Farmers living on non-productive
lands, under the plan, would be per-
mitted to exchange their units for
more valuable lands OF like size
either on their own or other govern
ment projects, with former service
men having preferences In the ex-
changes. Employment of agricultur-
al and economic advisers to enable
settlers to increase their farm In.
come and formation of cooperative
organization to promote business and
social relations also was urged. The
committee prefaced its recommended
tions with a statement declaring that
unless remedial measures of a per.
manent character are applied several
more projects will fail and the fed.

ed in a spirit of wise and lofty states

i. s. TO CLOSE
YEAR WITH
SURPLUS
Treasury Officials Estimate
Receipts Over Expenditures
at Half Million Dollars
By HARRY GUsACK

F.
The Government will close the
fiscal year with a surplus Of re.
ceipts over expenditures of approx.
nately $500,OOO.OOO. it was an.
nounced by the Treasury Depart.
fnent today, ecIetary Mellon, II
was stated, felt that the surplus
might be little more than this
amount or slightly less, but in all
probability It would he close to the
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. mark.
The surplus, high officials ex-
planned, would be about 500, 200, 900
over the previous Treasury esti-
mate, but is was contended that
Items Of receipt which could not
have been forseen developed during
recent weeks. About $50, 00O, 900 in
cash was received from Great Brit
ain in connection with the June
tnstallment of war debt interest.
which would have been paid in
Liberty bonds had not the prices of
the securities risen above par, and
another $50,000,O0O or $50, 900 900
was received from the railroad ad.
ministration through the sale of
railroad securities made possible as
result of the easy money condi-
tons recently obtaining. Both of
these items went on the Treasury
books as ordinary receipts and
helped to swell the surplus.
Tax receipts from the June 15
tnstallment, officials reported, are
expected to total between $34O, 000,-
600 and $S50,00O. 900, although final
reports of collection for all the
revenue districts have not yet been
received by the Treasury.

ing with them their son Russell,
their daughters Anne Barclay and

Beale r. Howard, who IL their guest
for a few days as her Sixteenth
street residence was closed when
she and her husband and daughter,
Mrs. Francis Manning, left for
Atlantic City for the summer, q
fortnight ago.
Mr.. and Mrs. Young's younger son
James, because Of his absence from
the city as the American consul at
Venice, Italy, and his wife could
not be present at the anniversary
gathering.
In conversing with Washington
Times reporter today, Mr.. Young
DeNt0 bAAGSt A. was dDOhI IIlIB I1kuO
fifty-four years ago that he, George
w. Adams and Francis A. Richard
son, were in attendance at the
Democratic convention that met in
Tammany Hall, New York, and NOM
mated Seymour and Blair to run
against Grant and CoIfax.
At that time Mr.. Adams was one
of the proprietors Of the Evening
Star and was head OF the New
York World bureau in this city.
Mr.. Richardson was head Of the
Baltimore Sun bureau and Mr..
Young Of the New York Tribune
bureau.
The New York Democratic ma
chine at that time, Mr.. Young said,
was controlled by what was called
the Albany Regency consisting Of
Samuel j. Tilden, Dean Richmond,
Peter Cagger and August Belmont.
Tammany had not gained full
control Of the party then, as It did
later on, under John Kelley, Dick
Croker, Peter b. Sweeney and
Charles r. Murphy.
Among the congratulations re-
ceived today by Mr.. and Mrs.
Young, was one from President
Coolidge, who said he hoped they
lived to enjoy fifty more anniver.
