Kftts of StO.OBQ, nllegeOdto We the nmount Which the State line banstUtsd from old surveys and other work on the Tuinalo Project dono lijr Mr. Katx. Representative Vornon A. 'Forbes has been seeking the opinion ot his con stituents on the subject. At the Commercial Olub luncheon on Saturday he asked Tor statement of opinion land at tho ovon,lnp; meet ing It waa rcaolvcd that ho should bo requested to vote against the ap propriation. Since that time Mr. Forbes has received further expres sions on tho matter front other sec tions of tho county and yesterday he Issued tho following statement of his position: Ijdtcr From Fnrlie. "Mend, Oregon. Jan. 6, 1915. "In the last few da8 1 hnvo re ceived numerous requests for a statement of my position and nttltudo toward tho legislation proposed whereby it Is Intended to reimburse Alma D. KaU to the oxtent of some S 20.000 en account of money ex pended by hint la surveying and at tempting to promote the onea defunct Columbia Southern project (now known as the State Tumalo project) In addition to these requests have come many inconsistent rumors as to my position, and I theroore. In order that the taxpayora may be fully advised and have opportunity to object If they so desire boforo'tho vote la taken, give you briofiy my vertlon ot tho case. "When Mr. Katt became connect ed with the Columbia Southern project It waa bankrupt, and he ap peared before tho Desert Land Hoard and requested an option or contract upon this segregation, ho Intending to Interest capital and bring tho project t'o a successful conclusion. Ills request was granted and he took charge ot the project for a period of about two years, having full manage ment and collecting such mainte nance fees as were collectible, and nt the same time made surveys and other exploitations, gathering data with which to attract the eye ot cap ital and thus completo tho project. 3lo failed in his object, his option expired and the stato cancelled tho contract and completed tho project With Its own mads. 'It Is claimed that tho Stato has benefited by the surveys, otc, made by Mr. Katx and therefore should pay for the twnio. 'Tho State of Oregon has within Its borders dozens of Gary Act proj ects, practically all of which tore bankrupt It Is unlyenwlly conceded thet these projects will never b entnpleied exctt by the State or the Federal government or the two In operation. On oaeh of thee many projects the promoters have .expend ed large sums of money In surveying nn,d endeavoring to promote the Mine. "If the State took over any of thaeo other projects tho present hold out would oecupy tho Identical posi tion as to sued project as Mr Katx now does to the T -malo project. "In other words, the paying of tiny money to Mr. Katz by the Stato, vnder conditions as they exist In Ore Eon today, would be establishing a most dangerous precedent. U would nlmply pave the rond to the Stato treasury ami upon It the speculators nnd promoters who have been at tempting to irrigate Oregon for tho last fifteen years would remove from the Stato treasury tho money they had oxpended in wildcat promotions, nnd Uie taxpayers in jiuoh event would have to pay the bills. ."I am thereforo opposed to tho tat te of Oregon making a oentrlbu tlon to Mr Katz or snv one else to reimburse them on a bad Investment. It Mr. Katz had made a million ho might have made Oregon a present, but I doubt it." Wint She Wautod. ' "I wantWo stop my tfaby'a cough."
