Washington, May 10. (WASH
INGTON BUREAU OF THE JOUR
NAL.) Representative Sirijnott
peaking In the house Saturday, de?
dared the time has come for con
gress to fulfill the original purpose
of the reclamation act and correct
discriminations against states like
Oregon which have received In ap
propriations only a small part of
what they have contributed from the
sales of public lands.
"I call this matter to the attention of
the house and appropriations commit
tee," he said, "in the hope' that in fu
ture .the committee will take the burden
and initiative of calling it to the at
tention of the secretary of the interior.
I have called it to the attention of the
former secretary repeatedly, getting
very little renolts. amj this gross dis
crimination agalnskaome states and
gross favoritism' to others should no
longer obtain. I hope Secretary Payne
will read my remarks and correct this
one abuse In the reclamation service."
Sinnott quoted figures showing the
money paid and received by the differ
ent states, showing Oregon has paid
111,165,000 and has received about 5,
000.000. Idaho has paid $6,000,000 and
received $23,000,000. and Arizona has
paid 11.600,000. and received $20,000,000
back. ' '
When the reclamation law was amend
ed ten years ago, Sinnott said, repeal
ing the requirement for equal distribu
tion of the fund, the reclamation service
promised It would remove this com
. plaint, but failed to do so, and congress
: In 1914 took away the department's dls
. eretlon, so the funds may be allotted
only by direct authority of congress.
Congress, therefore, has authority to
remedy the conditions, he said, and he
appealed to trie committee on appropria
tions to consider the next estimates
with a view to restoring the 'original
Intent of the reclamation act.- doing
; what was promised would be done when
congress removed the early restrictions.
Congress has put into reclamation
$120,000,000, said Sinnott, and figures
show that $90,000,000 in crops are
grown yearly. He complimented Direc
tor Davis of the reclamation service as
a distinguished engineer, devoting him
self to public work, who could earn many
times his present salary In private em
ployment. .

Then, too. there's the other side of it. ''Because the machine
does not tire like one's arms it can wash the heaviest blankets.
