' t'HKYKNNK, Wyo. (Hy the As

by I lie government. Secretary
Work declared in an address here
today, asserting that no new proj

an enduring policy is established.
liesponsiblltty for the success ol
federal reclamation, he mild, lies
first with the people In communi

second, with the reclamation serv

"If federal reclamation Is lo ne
regarded us u source for obtain

it will fail as It already has )n
some Instances.' lie continued.
"The department of Interior stands
between the new farming commu
nities and congress. . Withojt help
from the farmer we cannot in
terest the latter.
"The farm pest on many proj
ects has not been grasshoppers or
cut-norms but men who have
been framing (he funnel's, often
dividing them, and for fees array
ing them against each other. Re
pudiation has actually been urged
and farmers advised that if pay

"Since the purpose of the uet

TIIOISANDS VIIAV ItOOY
MAHIStbV, Wis. (By the Associ
ated Press) Wisconsin paid im
pressive tribute Sunday to Bob la
Folletie us his body lay in Mate
under (he vuulted dome of tho
capltol.
From high noon until the length
ening shadows of night darkened
his homeland, persons from every
walk or life, the humble shoulder
to shoulder with mighty, came for
a last look upon the features of the
man who hud dedicated his life
to I heir service.
In the never jcndlng line that
mounted the stalehouse steps in
columns of twos and passed single
file on either side of his bier were
men and women, old and young,
children und even bubies in arms.
Only the slow shuffling of feot,
and now and (hen a sob, disturb
ed the silence nx the tide of hu
manity flowed through the majes
tic rotunda. Many of Ihose who
came hud to wait on hour or even
more under a blitzing sun before
they might reach the statehouse
steps, but there was never a show
of Impatience. ' Neither police nor
guards directed them; the people
themselves maintaining the column
which stretched around the capitol
sMiiure into the street beyond.
I'mishunied tears coursed the
cheeks of many men ua well as wo
men us they looked upon the face
of the sleeping senator, peace wus
written there. The only lines were
those of a gentle smile.
The casket rested under the
spreading rays of subdued light
that stole down from the narrow
glazed windows set high in the
curve of the dome, A bank ot
palms and flowers was its back
ground. A large American flag covered
I he fool of the plain cuskct and
two others hung from a marble
hulusti-udc which blended itself
into the bower of palms and flow
ers. Flanking these on each side
were Wisconsin stute flags.
Kcsting ut the head of the cof
fin was a busket of lilies, roues and
gladioli, t ho remembrance of the
Chicago Teachers federation.. At
the foot was a wreath from Presi
dent Culles of Mexico.
At each end of the bier, two
members of the state legislature
jdood as a guard of honor motion
less throughout the hours. A single
sentinel at the rotunda entrance
separated the visitors from double
column into single f II'.
When ut hint the huge bronze
doors of the one open entrance to
tie- Mlutehouse had been swung
shut, the body was moved back to
the governor's reception room to
remain until the hour of the fun
eral service - 1 o'clock Monday
afternoon.
Besides the thousands who pass
ed through the eapttol. u tin um
bered others visited the spot in
