TAYLoR'S VIEWS OF
RECLAMATION

The various reclamation projects
are widely different in character in
many ways-in the kind OF soil In
the kind of climate, in the supply of
water, in the kind of market. in dis
lance to market, in freight rates, in
transportation facilities, and many
other matters that affect the actual
cash productivity of the lands.
A very careful investigation should
be made as to what is the real net
cash value per acre of the irrigated
land. the fair and ordinary cash re-
turn to the farmer on each of these
projects. Find out what he can
reasonably pay after his living and
other expenses and properly caring
for his family, educating his children
and having something fair besides for
n hard year and unforeseen contingen.
cies, And wherever the charges on
any project are more than he can
pay, these charges have got to sooner
or later be reduced. And IL Is much
better and fairer and more humane
and Just to reduce them now and
keep the original settlers on tho land
than 1t is to Btarve them out and then
expect some new settlers to come in
sometime and try to work out.-Rep.
resentative Edward II. Taylor. Of
Colorado, In Reclamation Record.

the law reach out to some of those in
our immediate .neighborhood, who
have no regard for it. Here's
hoping some of them will get what
is coming to them.
The Cecil Star, of North East, says:
Commentator is due to States
+. Attorney Clayton, Sheriff Pierson,
any other officials, for their activi-
ties in the enforcement of the liquor
and gambling laws. Such fearless
discharge of duties cannot but have
salutary effect upon would-be-vio-

The Cecil County News, Elkton.
also has the following to say:
Under direction of State Attor
ney Joshua Clayton, number OF
raids have been made by officers upon
premises where the sale of liquor or
the maintenance of gambling devices
has been suspected. Several of the
raids have resulted in suspects being
arrested and held either for hearing
or for Court.

ready apparent, and the benefits will
increase as time goes on and offend

strictly enforced.

FACTS ABOUT THE BONUS

The bonus question and tax reduc-
ton are the two live issues before
Congress. Politicians seeking re-
election hate to commit themselves
on either measure at the present
time. Real statesmen have been try
ing to work out these national prob
lens and give the, people the facts,
If the people know the facts, public
opinion may be relied upon to bring
about a satisfactory conclusion.
The three different measures plac-
ed before Congress for a soldiers
bonus are the Fordney, McCumber
and Mott bills. All three bills give
ex-service men the option of choos-
ing any one, but only one, of the
following plans:
/. Adjusted service pay. cash
award. 2. Adjusted service certif-
icates. insurance. 8. Vocational train
ling aid. 4. Farm or home aid. 5.
Land settlement aid. Cost involved
in these bills varies as does time in
which government must pay.
The McCumber bill has made most
progress, as it has been reported on
favorably by Senate Finance Com
mittee. But from taxpayers stand
point and for good of country the
Fordney bill is considered best as
the government has longer time in
which to pay.
In considering McCumber bill, the
Finance Committee believe minimum
possible cost would be 81 SGT, OOO, 900
if every veteran took cash payment
plan. The maximum would be S.
273.000,000 if every veteran took ad-
iusted service certificates. Under
what Finance Committee believes
