Sec. Work Sees
Need New Program
Govt. Reclamation

cheyenne. wy, juno 22.-(AP)-
A new program in reclamation should
be adopted by the government, Secre-
tary Work declared in an address here
today, asserting that no new projects
should be undertaken until an endur-
ing policy - established.
Responsibility for the success Of
FEDERAL reclamation. he said, lies first
with the people in communities and
states directly affected; second, with
tho reclamation. service, and finally
with Congress
II federal reclamation IL to be re-
garded ~ . source for Obtaining gov
eminent money to be spent locally, in
stead OF hrst aid to settling a perma-
nent community, it will fail as it al
READY has in some instances" he con-
tinued- THE Department Of Interior
stands between the new farming com
muntties and Congress. without help
from the farmer we cannot interest
the latter.
THE farm pests on many projects
has not been grasshoppers or cut
worms but men who have been franz
ing the farmers, of ten dividing them,
and for. fees arraying them against
each other. Reputation has actually
been urged and farmers advised that
II payments were delayed, the govern
ment eventually would fife of trying
to collect and charge it off.
Since the purpose of the act was to
create homecoming farmers, our first
care should be their welfare. Hereto
fore the Reclamation Bureau has made
construction the central idea on the
theory that building irrigation works
would create irrigated agriculture. 1t
has done this after q fashion, but it is
TOO largely tenant agriculture"
The secretary asserted that since
there was no sound argument against
trying new method, he had recon-
mended to President Coolidge that the
new program include:
Cooperation between the federal
government and the states where pro-
jects are located.
advances to settlers to help COM
plete the Improvement and equipment
OF their farms-a low interest should
DO charged on these advances.
That where projects include land
in private ownership held in excess of
homestead units, development should
not begin until an agreement has been
reached with these owners fixing the
price OF that land to settlers and
methods Of colonization"
AL government irrigation projects,
Secretary Work said, should be organ
lied into districts, managed and oper-
ated by the people living on them,
who would decide all local questions
themselves.
He expressed the hope that the
next Congress would pass legislation
requiring states to assume part Of the
financial risk and responsibility for
every new project undertaken within
their borders.
Il am convinced that government aid
in construction Of irrigation works is
fundamentally sound in theory, al
though it's policy has failed in re-
suits" he declared. "If irrigation
works are to be built on a large scale,
the government must assist in it, as
private enterprise will not build them
because there is no margin Of profit in
such undertakings.

hands. 1t lies with the people. 1t
will come when they realize the ne
cessity of state assumption Of state
responsibility. 1t will come when
they realize that the laws under
which the federal government hands
out contributions to the states is
placing upon them double burden
of authenticated taxation jim the
first instance to raise the moneys
which the government donates to the
states, and state taxation in the Sec
ond instance to meet the eXtrava-
gances of state expenditures which
are tempted by the federal dona-
tionS."
The President, expressing the
opinion that greater ultimate econ
omy in federal expenditures can
sometimes be attained by larger an
nual OUTLAWS on some of our existing
projects, said that in some instance
es it can be attained by undertaking
new projects.
Il do not advocate the withhold
ing of additional OUTLAWS on projects
essential to the best interests of the
government" he added, But our
present objective is the relief of the
taxpayers of today, and any propos-
ed increase of annual outlay on ex-
listing projects or any undertaking of
new projects should be scrutinized
with this objective in mind, and
every doubt should be resolved in
favor of the taxpayer of today who
is carrying the burden of war taxes"
Pointing out that the number of
employees in the executive civil serv-
ice totaled 554,9S6 June 80, 1924, as
compared with 100000 nine years be-
fore. the President emphasized that
every effort be made to prevent any
surplus In personnel, although he did
mot advocate an undermined pub-
lie service" feeling this would be
false economy and disastrous in its
results

quarters that the presidents econom-
ic program was being carried to an
extreme and that it might, In the
end, damage business. y.
There has been a saving of $2,l91,-
232,944.94 in the cost of government
in the last four years and that will
stand in the record for all time as an
example of courageous retrenchment
until eQualled in the history of gov
ernments," he said.
General Lord advised his audience
to make no mistake about the inten-
lions of the administration, reiterat-
ing that economy must be the slogan.
He asserted that the budget bureau
was sitting tightly on the lid" and
confidently challenged the years to
come in the matter of expenditures
of government money.
Scores of incidents were related by
General Lord to show where savings
had been effected. Citing the reduc-
tons in personnel by the adjutant
general of the army. who was COM
PEELED by curtailed appropriations to
reduce force of clerks from 120 to
AZ, he said the result had been the
creation Of new and simplified rec
ord system that was being widely
copied for it's efficiency.
There is an example" he empha-
sized, "of how economy results in
efficiency"
II could continue indefinitely" said
General Lord, Gin quoting examples
of economy by government employees
who have learned that everything
that has value, no matter how small,
be it money. time, or property, must
be conserved. Economy in the small
matters is fundamental Watchful
care over the greater interests follow
economical administration of the
minor matters as inevitably as day
follows night"
