REPORTS IN BILL
FOR RECLAMATION

Provisions of the interior depart
ment appropriation bill carrying $9,-
$4,000 for work during the coming
fiscal year on reclamation projects
in the west were approved Saturday
by the house with the exception of a
section alloting $3SO,0O0 for the
Minidoka project in Idaho.
Cards are stacked in congress
against Nevada irrigation projects,
so far as the present is concerned.
according to special message from
Washington telling of strenuous eff
forts on the part of Congressman
Charles L. Richards to amend the
interior departments appropriation
bill so as to increase allowances of
s155,00O to s965,000, including
100000 for the Spanish Springs
reservoir.
Congressman Richards made two
consecutive efforts by amendment to
increase the appropriations, which
were lost. In this connection con-
gress still has to hear the report of
the fact finding commission which
met recently at Salt Lake City and
received Nevada's claims, says the
Nevada State Journal.

ing TO the crop repayment plan.

Resolutions Adopted BY Dele
gates at Utah Hearing

The following resolutions were
agreed upon by water users present
at the final hearing of the fact find
ing commission at Salt Lake City on
January 27. They represent a com
| promise, as there was some differ.
enee of opinion in regard to some
of the resolutions, but they are alone
the lines toward which the commits.
sion seemed to be directing its at.
tention; and there is reason to be-
lieve that the ideas expressed, with
some notifications, will form a part
of its findings.
Having followed the proceedings
of the Salt Lake hearing of the Fact
kFindingCommission, eight consecutive
days, and watching the testimony
gradually crystalline, number OF
the reclamation projects met and ag-
reed TO adopt the following resolu-
tions:
/. Resolved: That we favor early
congressional action definitely auth
orizing and empowering the Secre-
tary of the Interior at his discretion.
to suspend, readjust and reassess
all existing charges against the wa
ter users on reclamation projects. In
accordance with the recommends
tions of President Coolidge to Con-
gress.
2. Resolved: We suggest the land
on the projects be classified accord
ing to the best methods known at
the present moment, understanding
that land which has no chance of
paying out be not included in any
group; also that a system be evolved
to make this plan practicable.
3. Resolved: That each class of
land shall return on March first con-
Istruction repayments for the preced-
ing year, of not to exceed five per
cent of the gross crop returns of
the class to which 1t belongs. taking
into consideration the probable net
returns until the total charges as
|sessed against said land are repaid
to the reclamation fund.
A. Resolved: That when the in
dividual water user pays the construc-
tion charges assessed his land. his
land is released by the government
from any further charges or liens
whether held under district or water
users form Of contract.
5. Resolved: That the manage
ment and control of all completed
projects, or of completed units of a
project and all assets of said pro-
jeet be turned over to the water
users, under appropriate contract
who have the right to decide whether
they organize as an irrigation dis
trict, or as a water users associ-
alton
6. Resolved: That a moratorium
on all construction repayments be
declared, the length of time for each
project to be determined by the Sec
retary of the Interior, and at the time
so designated, all construction costs

Fact Finders Listen to Project Complaints
A. D. Drumm Believes Results
Will Follow Utah Meeting

A. D. Drumm. who was sent to ths
fact finding convention at Salt Lake
City by number of water users anc
parties interested In the development
of this project, returned to this cit5
Monday. On being asked what the
results of the hearing were he stated
81 am convinced that more good
has come from this hearing than any
such move that has ever been under
taken since the reclamation service
started. In fact 1t is the first time
that either a commission gave a real
hearing and 1t is the first time that
real facts, conditions and concrete
examples were presented to any OF
the higher ups In this branch of the
service.
I'm the first place the men who
listened to the representatives of the
various projects are not regularly
employees of the service, but are
men interested In state and national
development. Their actions at the
hearing bore out this fact and every
delegate who attended felt that some-
thing more than hot air was the re-
suits of the meeting.
Sees Quick Action
Personally I am convinced that
this and other projects will get some
quick action from the hearing. In
fact much in the way of federal legis-
lation waits ON the findings of this
body Of men. In some instances un-
less relief is given many farms on
other projects are threatened with
abandonment It was the consensus
of opinion that some quick action
will follow and I believe that within
the next few weeks some of the re-
suits will commence to show. This
will follow the report made by the
members OF the commission who
heard all of the evidence from all o.
the projects.
Plain Statement
ITO my mind the Newlands project
offered the cleanest cut and concise
statement of any of the projects. The
members appearing before the COM
mission had their material well in
hand and at no time did they fall
down on the statements made. II
was conceded by all present that this
project was the best represented of
any OF the complaints and that the
subject matter was in the best condi-
tion.
Much credit should be given the
representatives of this project. At
torney Stoddard in his presentation
of the complaint did so without any
trimmings and he was followed by
Senator Vencill. In each case the
members stuck to the facts and the
complaint. while II did not cover all
of the matter that some of the home
steaders wished, certainly did receive
the attention that 1t was entitled to.
Boyle In Fine Form
while I don't agree with former
Governor Boyle in all of his state
ments and his methods OF applica-
tion, will say that he handled the
presentation OF the Newlands project
in most orderly manner and the
roast that he gave Miles Cannon will
long remain in the memory of those
present. Boyle was in the best posi-
tion of any delegate before the con-

TO MEET DIR. MEAD
IN RENO WEDNESDAY

Word has been received in this
city that DR.. Elwood Mead, one of
the members of the fact finding COM
mission, will be in Reno this We'd
nesday. 1t was anticipated that he
would make this project a personal
visit, but he could not spare the time.
Quite number of business men
and others interested in the future
of the project expect to meet with
DR.. Mead today. The governor and
others will hold a conference with
him and it is possible that he will
later be able to make a personal visit
to this section.

ner. Swingle like the rest was con-
vincing in his remarks.
Big Men In Charge
There is no doubt but that the
men listening to the complaints are
big men. Garfield, Whitstone, Mead
and Campbell are all of the right
kind to take up this sort of work
and from the attention they gave at
the hearings and the talks In the
lobby at night 1t is evident that they
are not on junketing trip but came
west ON the business ordered by Sec
retary Work"
Spanish Springs
When asked what he thought
would become of the Spanish Springs
end of the project Mr.. Drumm stated
as follows:
'I do not thing that the Spanish
Springs addition to the project will
be finished in a hurry. There is a
chance, ! believe, that enough will
be appropriated to finish paying for
right of ways, farm and other ac-
quirements to make the way clear for
the future. There is not chance of
1t getting over by additional taxation
on the settlers and people of this
end of the project. In fact / so in
formed those who asked me about it.
1t is not more costs that the people
want but less. and under the plan of
Secretary Work the construction and
all the rest of the expense would
have to come from tax on the pro-
ject as a whole. The fight for the
Spanish Springs is being waged by
the bench people and the Reno sec
ton, and 1t is up to them to put ii
ever If they can. don't look for
any substantial appropriation for this
work at the present time.
Change of Policy
81 am convinced that there is to be
general change in the administra-
ton and policy of the department on
all of the projects This was indi-
Gated at the hearing and I would not
be surprised IL radical changes were
made within few months. The plan
to cut expenses, get down to business
and give the settlers better chance
seems to be the scheme, and it can
be done through the recommenda-
tions of the fact finders.
There was one gratifying result
shown, and that was that the New
lands project was not the worst off
in the list, in fact when 1t was sifted
down 1t was found that the project
stands fifth in advancement and that
with proper treatment, the wiping
off of unjust charges and the> re-
adjustment that seems likely, this
project will be among the leaders in
development and productiyeness.
