State Engineer Urges Expen diture of $3,000,000,000 for Reclamation Projects. Tnsr QjuALrnr Stoiws or- Portland ervice-Today and Every Day MODEL HOUSING CODE AIM 18 Men of Recognized Ability Speak at First Day's Session of Tenth An- . nual Commonwealth Con ference in This City. Plans for utilizing Oregon's Idle lands in the reconstruction period after the . war and the housing problem especially as affecting Portland's present needs, were dealt -with In the' opening day's eesslon of the Tenth Annual Common wealth Conference at the Imperial Ho tel yesterday. Speakers of recognized ability presented the problems, which were later discussed by other members of the conference. That the Government should expend J3.000.000.00ft for reclamation projects in this country was the assertion of John H. Lewis. State Engineer, who spoke of the opportunities that the re construction period would offer labor and capital. - - Irrigation Declared Essential. "High prices for land products and periodic -drouths have brought about a renewed interest in irrigation projects," saiiTMr. Lewis. ".Rain this year in(par tlcular has been scarce in the Wil lamette and Rogue River valleys as well as In Eastern Oregon. The need of crop insurance through the con struction , of reservoirs is becoming more apparent. "We have about 1,183,000 acres of Oregon lands embraced in irrigation and drainage projects, concerning the feasibility of which much information is available. Because of the remote ness and improbability of Federal aid for the $60,000,000 necessary to do this work, we are suggesting the formation of small districts under existing laws." Orefton should plan to take care of her share of the 200,000 or more re turning soldiers who will want to go on the land, was the idea set forth by Thornton T. Munger, of the U. S. Forest Service. I.ocreed-Off Laodl Avnilable. "About a million acres of logged-on" land are now open in Western Oregon and can be made to produce about $27,000,000 worth of food each year," he said. lteforesting of lands following the cutting as a means of keeping our tim ber supply up to par was recommended by professor Kirkland, of the Univer sity ol" Oregon. Fire protection and con solidation of ownership were among other suggestions for keeping up the timber production of this country. The Government should give land free to the returning soldier and sailor who was willing to settle it ad farm it. -was the opinion expressed by Walter Pierce, Democratic candidate for Gov ernor, in "the opening address of the conference. "The free lands of the West solved the 'after-the-Civil-War' prob lem, and similar steps must be taken after the present war." he said. ' Community l;nla Favored. Community units in the development of agriculture co-operation was urged as against individual farm units in a talk by Benton Mackaye, of the United States Department of Labor. Production of gas from wood would do away with much of the wood waste in the Northwest, according to O. F. Stafford, of the University of Oregon. "Sueh gas would have the same heat nd light energy as natural gas," he said, "and it would possess many ap parent advantages. Wood finely pow- lcrcd could also be used as a substi tute for gasoline. Alcohol taken from this wood waste can be utilized in place of gasoline for the general com bustion motor. This country cannot afford to lose sight of the possibility for substitutes which such waste of fers." i Better Houning Is Aim. The need of a better housing code ?ni a well-worked out city plan for Portland was brought out in a talk l.y H. M. Esterly, secretary of the Housing Association, who presented a report of a committee appointed by the Consumers' League. ."Lack -of light and lack of ventila tion the two most glaring conditions apparent are responsible for thou sands of cases of tuberculosis in Port land every j.ear," he said. "Construction of houses for our shipyard-workers must be done with ample foresight and after careful considera tion of the needs of the city for years to come. We should be satisfied with nothing less than a model housing order that will keep the workers in this city during the reconstruction period. Germnny I Far Behind. That the city should have a definite plan before asking Government aid was the opinion expressed by Herbert Gor don, chairman of a housing committee named by the Realty Board and Cham ber of Commerce. "The Government should not own the houses, but should loan money to the capitalists to build houses to sell to the workers." was his suggestion. Germany's method of housing and caring for her Industrial population was scored by Thomas Adams, Cana dian housing expert, in a talk last night. Illustrating his remarks, with slides taken from actual photographs. Mr. Adams contrasted English industrial villages with conditions existing in German Industrial towns. "Despite its boasted military effi ciency. Germany ranks low jmnni na tions in providing lor the welfare of ner industrial workers," he declared. "Bremen is surpassed in this respect only by Budapest and other German towns are little better." Land Speculation Scored. Land speculation as a tax on all pro duction and as a hindrance to good housing and town planning was hit hard by the speaker. "The people are driven to bad land when good land is plentiful as the re ult of over-valuing the soil." he said. "An effective system of development is impossible under such conditions. - "In Portland you have this problem of large, unoccupied tracts near the center of town, while the population must seek space on less desirable lots." As a solution of Portland's problems of housing. Mr. Adams told of the ex periences of Canada with providing houses for the war worker. "The Canadian government provides the money, while the municipality directs the expenditure." he said. "In case of loss by after-the-war condi tions.' the Government pays 75 per cent, leaving the owners to face but little actual loss." War Stamp Meeting Called Off. The war savings stamp rally which was to have been held in front of the Liberty Temple tonight has been called off.
