On. one project alone, Where the original cost was estimated ; at $2,500,000, expenditures have been made to the extent of $6,715,000. Only' 65,000 out of the estimated 100.000. acres are in use and $6,728,000 is still unpaid by the wa.er users on this project. How these user3 can ever meet their obligations is a puzzling question. I In spite of this showing, however, the indications are that the next congress will be urged by the Interior depart ment4o spend at least $50,000 more on existing projects. Reclamation has been a perplexing problem" for Oregon. The state has guaranteed millions of dollars worth of bonds. The legislature of 1925 ' found it necessary to appropriate $50,000 to pay only. a part of this guarantee interest past due and it is probable that the emergeicy board will before the close of ; the! present! biennium be called upon, for further appropriations for further payments -of interest" .unpaid under the state guarantee. ' ' ' . , "The Secretary of the Interior upon his' recent visit to Oregon took the attitude that before the national government should id , iii? financing Oregon projects the state 'should assure the financing of the settlers on . the irrigated lands over a number of year? while accumulating sufficient means and influence to finance themselves. vWith the' state already with a general deficit occupying space on the state's finan cial horizon added to the uncertainty of the number, of years required to finance the settlers, even though the need for extension of projects be desirable, Oregon should not assume, at this time, this grave responsibility. The policy of using non-irrigable lands more intensively and more generally be fore further extension of irrigation is sound judgment. Mean while the state's obligations to her citizens who "are on irri gation projects should be met cheerfully and promptly. f J .;,. - . . - - . .
