THE MORNING OREGONIAN. SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 28, 190T. WEALTH Senator Flint Proposes Gov ernment Loan for Great Enterprise. MANY STATES INTERESTED Suggests Revolving Fund to Reclaim About 80,000,000 Acres and Make Them Worth Billions. Obstacles to Overcome. OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU, Wash ington, Sppt. 26. Is the Government of the United .States Justified In making a temporary loan of a few paltry millions out of the Federal treasury when by so dolnsr It can add to the arable area of the Nation approximately 80.000.000 acres of land, thereby increasing farm values anywhere from $2,500,000,000 to $4,000,000,000? That Is the question raised by the men who would have the Federal Government ad vance money for draining the swamps of 37 states. Just as it is now advancing money to reclaim the arid lands of the AVect. Under the drainago plan the Gov ernment is safeguarded against loss. . Just as under the reclamation act, and every dollar advanced will be returned to the treasury. There Is this difference: The drainage advocates propose, to re pay every cent of Government money with Interest -at 3 per cent; the reclama tion fund is a loan without interest. States Must Cede .Swamps. There Is but one vital difference be tween the proposed plan of Federal re clamation of swamp land and the adopted plan of reclamation of arid lands, but that difference Is so essential as to en gender material opposition to the pro posed law. The irrigation act permits the use of Federal funds for reclaiming public arid lands or lands held by individ ual settlers. The drainage law would pro vide for the reclamation of land that is almost entirely the property of the re spective states. Under our dual system of government there Is a serious con flict at once, and before, .the National Government can undertake a - general swamp-land drainage proposition It must surmount this substantial difficulty. The only practical method so far suggested la to have the swamp-land ceded back to the General Government for purposes of reclamation, and no such plan can be carried out except by action of the re spective state Legislatures. Certain It is that In Its present over flowed condition, the swamp-land is of no value to any one. The states can not dispose of it; they can, therefore, col lect no taxes on it. The individual will not buy It, for usually the swamps are of such dimensions that private capital cannot afford . their drainage,, notwith standing the large profits Insured. Yet these 80,000,000 of acres can be turned Into farms by the use of money, and .this vast domain, greater In area than Ohio, Indiana and Illinois, could not only be made to support two to three million families, but would add annually to the farm output of the Nation something like $2,000,000,000. And all this can be ac complished by borrowing money from the Federal Government at 3 per cent per annum, the Government being adequately safeguarded against loss. Flint's Scheme of Drainage. Advocates of a National drainage law will concentrate their efforts next Win ter to secure the passage of the bill pre pared and introduced by Senator Flint, of California. This bill makes a direct Initial loan from the Federal treasury of $2,000,000. and provides that money de rived from the sale of public land in states not contributing to the: National reclamation fund Bhall, be added to this $2,000,000 from year to year. It is pro posed to take the receipts of the past three years, which with the $2,000,000 would provide about J6.000.00u. to start. As land Is reclaimed and sold, the cost ' of drainage is paid back into the fund, Just as under the reclamation act, the fund being revolving, yet constantly In creasing in size due -to the annual re ceipts from public land sales. The Flint bill would not permit any conflict with the work of reclaiming arid land, for there would be two' separate and distinct funds, each Independent of the other. Kill Disease, Create, Wealth. A National drainage law is advo cated not only because 'it will give value to lands now valueless, but be cause It will ' render healthful vast areas that are today disease-breeders. The elimination of the swtfmps means the elimination of the mosquito, and the elimination of the mosqilto means a great reduction In the number of cases of malaria and yellow fever; some scientists believe It means the ex termination of the latter disease, which they maintain results entirely from the bite of a particular breed of mos quito. But the passage of a drain age law is based largely upon the sound business principles underlying the contemplated legislation. The Government has expended or Is expending about $40,000,000 In reclaim ing arid land, and the results so far attained have been profitable and sat lsfactory. Swamp land can be re claimed much cheaper than arid land. The latter costs an average of $25 per acre; the swamps can be reolalmed at an average cost of $3.25 per acre. Here are 80,000,000 acres of land which at an expenditure of $3.26 per acre can be sold readily for $30, sometimes $40 and even $50 per acre, yet today every acre Is valueless. Add to the value of the reclaimed land the value of Im provements In the way of houses barns, fences, horses, cattle, etc., and the benefit to the states Is Immediately apparent. Where they now derive no taxes, they would then collect taxes on property ranging from $50 to $100 to the acre. Certainly such an invest ment would seem to be Justified, no matter what the course of the money. Danger From Speculators. There is one danger ahead the spec ulator. Unless the various states ef fectively lock up their swamp land the speculator will Jump in and buy at bedrock prices the minute he be comes convinced that Congress Is go ing to act. General speculation of this sort, if detected, might prove disas trous to any bill before Congress, for then It 'would be virtually the loaning of Government money to enrich an army of shrewd speculators. Public sentiment would never stand for such legislation. Large sums of money have been thrown away by Individuals and cor porations In draining swamp land. Either the projects were too large or Impractical methods were employed. Drainage differs from Irrigation In that large areas must be. reclaimed to make the work profitable, and moreover It Is necessary to drain, an entire swamp If any part of it Is to be reclaimed Reclamation by the states has been INCREASE DRA N Nb SWAMPS .no, more ucceasful than reclaauaUorJLjiomlnal, by Individuals, for politics seems to become' a factor, and when politics Is injected the practical worn is de stroyed: Then, too. many of the larg er swamps He In more than one state. Such swamps could hardly be re claimed by the states themselves. Other Nations Did It. Holland, Germany, Great Britain and other European governments have spent hundreds of millions of dollars In the reclamation of their swamps. and always with the most beneficial results. That Is used as an argument- why the United States Govern ment should do likewise. Moreover, it is argued that reclaimed swamp land, under a proper system of colonization. would afford homes for the great Influx of foreigners who are no longer able to find land on the public doman, ex cept the high-priced Irrigated ,land. which Is beyond their reach. The ' scheme proposed by the Flint bill is a large one. and will take years to carry to conclusion. Naturally the work cannot progress rapidly when the total cost of reclaiming all the swamps In the country is $250,000,000, and the bill provides only $5,000,000 to begin with. This fact will be urged as a reason why the Federal Govern ment should try the experiment: It could lose nothing, yet the Nation as a whole has much to gain. The Senate public lands committee acted favorably on the Flint bill late last" session; with a good early start this Winter something may be accom plished. If public sentiment through out the country is favorable. There are 37 states vitally interested In this leg islation. ROADS WILL LEND A HAND HARRIMAX LINES TO HELP SE CURE WINTER FUEL SUPPLY. Should Coal Run Short in Eastern Oregon,' Low' Rate- Will Be Made on Slabwood From the South. SALEM. Or.. Sept. 27. (Special.) At a conference yesterday with the Oregon Railroad .Commission, representatives, of the Harrlman lines in Oregon agreed that the Southern Pacific and O. R. & N. roads will do their part toward relieving any fuel ' shortage' that may be exper ienced this Winter. The railroads were represented by W. W. Cotton and Jt. B. Miller., the. latter as freight agent of the Harrlman lines having given the fuel problem a thorough investigation. The chief matter under consideration was . the. .fuel supply for prairie counties In Eastern Oregon, where the farmers depend upon ' coal for fuel. Some time ago the subject was called to the at tention of the Governor, and the Gov ernor asked the Railroad Commission to investigate. At the conference Mr. Miller said. that he had secured reports from all mines as to the probable output of coal tnis winter and is satisfied that the supply will be sufficient. But In case it should not beland for that reason there should be a fuel famine In Eastern Ore gon, the Harriman. lines will maJte a specially low freight rate on slab wood from Southern Oregon, provided the saw mills of that section will make a low rate on slabwood loaded on cars. South ern Oregon sawmills have no market for their slabwood at present. The proposal of ' the Harriman lines to grant a low rate Is conditioned upon the mills making a low rate on slabs for the special pur pose oi relieving any fuel scarcitv that may be suffered. Presumably the low rate would not be granted If the mills were to get the benefit of it and not the fuel consumers. FINDS NO TRACE OF OSBORNE Family Confident Man Was Mur dered in Mount Vernon.
