on Irrigation mill Drnlnngxs Mean-
in es to Bo Considered Soon.
What do tho chief officials of tho
Stato of Oregon think nbout tho pro
posed legislation for stato aid to Irri
gation, dralnngo nud rural credits?
With n view to nnsworlng tli.it
question Tho Bullotln requested
stntuniontB from tho flvo niombors of
tho Dcsort Lnnd Board. As thoso
big questions will bo discussed at tho
contorenco nt Salem commencing on
March 0, It Is interesting to know tho
opinions of tho llvo most Important
clectlvo olllclnls of tho stato, and os
peclally In this Irrigated country.
Governor Wlthycombo favors rural
credits but Is doubtful as to tho eco
nomic wisdom or Imtnodlnto desir
ability of stato backing for Irrigation
nnd drainage districts. Howovor, If
tho oloctornto approves workable and
coiiBorvntlvo bills, ho will suppoit
them.
Attornoy Gonernl Brown snys ho
Is favorable to n stotuto for stato
aid, assuming tho required constltu
t'onnl nniondmont fiist carries, pro
vided "It Is Bafo nnd bnsod upon
sound buslnoss principles."
Secretary of Stato Olcott alono re
fuses to express nn opinion. Ho pre
fers to remain non-committal nt this
t.m.
Stnto Tronsuror Kay Is flatly op
posed to stato aid for Irrigation or
dralnngo districts, declaring it Is pour
business and that as matters stand
such nctlon Is entlroly uncallod for.
State Engineer Lowls Is earnest
ly supporting tho plan for stnto nld
to Irrigation and dralnngo develop
ment. Ho especially fnvors co-opora-tlou
with Fodornl organization nud
division of tho llunnclnl guarantee of
bonds betweon Stnto nnd Nation.
The (Joveiiior's Statement.
Govornor Withycorabo's stntomont
f Hows:
"I entertain considerable doubt .a
to whether tho Stato should nssutno
flnnnclat responsibility for bonds In
volving Irrigation and dralnngo work.
Dovolopmout along this lino Is vital
ly doslrnblo, but I am not yet con
vinced that tho entire commonwealth
should hack local projects, which, if
commercially renslliie, should ho ahln
to finance thoiusolves on tholr own
security,
"However, If tho constitution Is
nmondod to penult such statu guar
antee, nnd an equitable and safe plan
Is approved by tho legislature, such
would rocelvo my support.
"Rural credits would bo n wondor

conservative and workable plan Is
evolved I shall support It eiltliuslns
