THE SUNDAY OREGOXIAN, POUTLAXD, JTJXE 18, 1916. 11 STATE AID SCHEME TO WAIT TWO YEARS Proposal for Reclamation De layed Because Some Fail to Give Support. CAMPAIGN WILL GO ON J. W. Brewer Says Suggestion for County Guaranty of Interest Will Not Work, as Those in Most Need Are Poor. Oregon voters will not have the op portunity next November of passing on a proposed consitutional amendment providing for state aid to Irrigation and drainage projects. J. W. Brewer, president of the Oregon Irrigation Congress, which initiated the movement for the proposed amend ments, said yesterday that the plan will be dropped for the present owing to the lack of support from some quarters that had been counted on for assistance. The educational campaign In the direction of state aid will be continued, however, and It is probable that the amendments will be submitted at the general election two years hence. At Its session last December the ir rigation congress authorized a confer ence to draft amendments providing for state aid to irrigation and drainage projects and for a system of rural credits for the state. This conference met at Sal em on March 9. It was composed of 90 dele gates representing 26 different or ganizations. , County Guaranty Proposed. The conference committee on rural credits was composed of C. E. Spence, master of the State Grange; J. E. Brown, president of the Farmers' Union, and T. H. Burchard, president of the Oregon Federation of Labor. They have completed their labors and the petitions for a rural credits measure are now being circulated. The committee on irrigation-drainage, composed of J. B. Kerr. C C. Chap man and A. B. Thomson, has made its report. Two amendments are proposed, the first providing for the state pur chase of bonds and other evidences of indebtedness issued by irrigation or drainage districts vested with the power of taxation, provided the interest on such bonds or evidences of indebted ness shall first have been guaranteed by some county or counties. The sec ond amendment authorizes counties to guarantee the interest on such bonds or evidences of indebtedness, the an nual liability not to exceed 2 per cent of the assessed valuation of the county. Valuation Are Too Low. "The plan looks good on paper, but will not work out In practice."" said President Brewer yesterday. "A study of the assessed valuation of those coun ties in which lie the large bodies of seml-iarid land and the cost of construc tion of the proposed projects, shows conclusively that the plan outlined will not prove satisfactory. Figures from six of the Eastern Oregon counties show that only one of the number has sufficient assessed valuation to guarantee the Interest at & per cent on the projects now proposed. ' "If these counties had sufficient as sessed valuation to guarantee the in terest on bonds as outlined In the amendment proposed, there would be no need for a state guarantee, as bonds would sell readily and at reasonable rates with the county back of them."

"-1 David H. Harrell. David H. Harrell, a pioneer of '47, died at the age of 75 years in Medford Friday. Dropsy was the cause of death. Mr. Harrell had made his home at Joe Bar, in the Blue Ledge mining district, but was on his way to Portland with his sister, Mrs. Martha A. Jones, of Watkins, at the time of his death. Mr. Harrell was born in Illi nois November 7. 1M0. He drove stage and fought Indians in the early days and later took up mining. Mr. Harrell leaves a brother, James, of Portland, and two sis ters, Mrs. Mary K. Walker, of Astoria, and Mrs. Martha A. Jones, of Watkins. The body has been brought to Portland for interment. John H. Stevenson and Isaao Swett had complained of the emergency clause and its consequent defeat of the power of the referendum.' Now, I am not answering for Mr. Swett, but the statement, as applied to me, ie, to say the least, in the language of Josephus Daniels, an inexactitude. At no time and at no place have I complained about the emergency clause. I have said that the Council passed the ordinance with an emergency clause, but, as a matter of history and not of complaint. If the Council feels that this city can struggle on no longer without municipal golf, there can be no possi ble objection to an emergency clause. The sooner the emergency la met. tne Detter. All I have ever said or done about this whole distressing subject is to rise and inquire, whether, in view of the ever-mounting cost of government and the skyline altitude of taxes. coupled with the further fact that thus fax the clamor for golf has not yet be come loud enough to be heard by a per BOn of ordinary good hearing the time is ripe and the hour here when the city should extend Its governmental ac tivities to Include the golf business. Personally. I shall have nothing to do with invoking the referendum on this ordinance, but if the Council wants to know how the people feel about It and the exigencies of the situation will admit of our being deprived of golf for one more year, why not the Council re fer the matter to the people?
