A IMPORTANT ISSUE
In this Isaue The liulletln puMlsh?s' grtion and rural credits, I will say R
th miinmcnu of the G'.vern'r, At
torney General, State Treasurer and
Ststo Engineer settlnK forth their
vlows rewarding the proponed consti
tutional amendment and sutiseijuent
loKlHlatlon for state aid to Irrigation,
drainage, and rural credits.
This Is tho first expression of the
kind which has appeared, and we feel
rorttmnte In the opportunity to give
liulletln readers this Initial knowl
edge of what Oregonfs leading oftl
clala think on this Important nui.Jert.
No doubt the constitutional amend
ment and the proposed enactments
will forn the backbone of political
dobiito during the corning state cam
paign. So In this connection It Is
especially worth while to know the
vlewH of those whom ihe people have
elected to high olllce.
That there will l,e a hot fight on
the (mention Is assured. And that
not tlio least Interesting f enure Is ' Mr. Kay Intends to fight tho proposed
tho fact that the magazine now has a
bonn-fldo circulation of over 3,000
copies, ii h contrasted with about 500
eoploH ii few mouths ago. Not con
tent with this notable gain. Carl D.
Hhoumakur, the KtHle Ghihh Warden,
lina sot it in ii r I; of 10,000 by the e.id
of Ihn year.
Hvon If the warden falls far short
of that iittiiltiment. lie will havo thn
measures bard is iiKewiso certain.
Whatever the outcome and whntevor
the hopes and beliefs of this com
munity, It Is henlthily Interesting to
get the subject started now for dis
cussion and urguincnt.

Bevernl reasons
"The proposition to Initiate this
amendment first came from tho Ir
rigation Congresa which met In Port
land In December, nnd, therefore,
came, from people particularly Inter
ested In reclaiming desert lands. A
similar measure, w'hlch came from
tnu snmo source, was put on tho bal
lot two yenrs ago, which provided for
bonding the Stnto for Irrigation and
road building; tho lattor bolng tho
more popular Issuo of tho two, yet
tho amendment d'd not carry In n
'jdnglo county in tho stnto, It being
'dofontod lSB.OOO ngalnst 40,000 for.
"There in n populnr domand for
some system of rural credits nnd the
people Interested In Irrigation havo
tnkun ndvantago of this, and propose
to nmond tho Constitution, which will
link together tho bonding of tho
bonding of tho Stnto for Irrigation,
drainage and rural credits, thinking
tho lnttor Issues will enrry tho for
mer ono through.
"Now, In my opinion, thero la ab
solutely no domnnd nt this time for
tho stnto bonding Itsulf for Irrigation
purposes, Inasmuch as thero nro now
on tho market thousands of ncres of
retinlniud lands ready for settlement,
for which thore Is absolutely no sale.
(Hero Mr. Kay lists In detail unsold
lauds undor Oregon irrigation pro
jects. Including about 14,000 acres
on tho Tiimalo which ho says nro
exceptionally desirable 7.000 open
for snlo on tho Central Orogon nnd
about 9,000 unsold or uncultivated
on tho Umatilla.)
"Now, this being tho case, then
whnt legltlmato domand is thoro for
bonding tho State for reclaiming
mora.
"Soma claim tho roason thoso lands
nro not sold Is because tho tonus nro
not llborul onougn. Tho tonus nro
ten per cent down und ton per cont
paid onch year for nine yenrs with
Interest nt six pur cent, nnd thoso are
what I would consider llbsrnl tonus.
Again, sonio people maintain thnt

flgurod It could reclaim nnd sell
thoso lands, nt n profit, for $14.75
por ncro. which was the 'nmount
charged for thorn. This companv
failed nnd tho Stnto reclaimed the
lands, nt a cost of nearly $40 per
nVre. that bcl-g the State lien price
for water. The cost of tho Oovorn-
iiiont projoct In V'matllla county Is
$(10 por acre nnd this project Is fav
orably located. The valuo of tho
land when sold by speculators Is ad
