MANY HELPFUL LAWS

Guarantee of Interest for Irrigation.

Dondt and I'rotlslon for Aid?
on Tumnlo Project" of .
Or rat Interest. '
(S(we!! to TM Bulletin.)
SALEM, March 10. Never before
has tho legislature been Inclined to
look with such favor on reclamation
and reconstruction projects as tho
recent one, In tho opinion ot Stato
Engineer Percy A. Cupper who has
prepared a digest of tho Irrigation
and reclamation laws, Including tho
dralnago statutes enacted by tho
stato legislature.
With n sllnht introduction touch
ing upon tho road building program,
Mr. Cupper has digested tho irriga
tion and reclamation laws unacted
at tho session as follows:
Tho session ot tho Orogori logls
laturo which hafl Just cloied outlined
n big reconstruction program and
provided tho funds for carrying It
Into effect. A bill providing tor the
Ksliahco of $10,000,000 for xoad
construction an passed and an thitf
bill carried an bcldrgeucy ctauso it
Is not subject to referendum.
"Another statuto was enacted pro
viding for tho levying ot a one mill
stato tax on all taxablo property in
the stato for tho reconstruction ot
marct roads. Under this statuto tho
counties are required to provide a
substantial and equal amount for this
work and the expenditure ot the
funds Is under tho direction ot the
stato highway commission..
Roads only P.irt of rroRram.
In order to pay tho Interest oh the
bonds for road construction, and to
provldo additional funds for carrying
out- the road -"progniiB.fethe auto
llccnso fees were considerably in
creased and at tho same iimo they
woro exempt from general' taxation
in order that tho cntlro tax on auto
mobiles might bo utilized in road
construction.
Theso road measures wero con
sidered only Indirectly as a part ot
tho reconstruction program and tho
special constitutional amendment
and statuto aro submitted to tho pco
plo for their approval, providing for
tho Issuanco ot $5,000,000 ot recon
struction bonds and tho statuto which
Is also to bo approved by tho people
provides how funds arising from
theso bonds shall be expended.
Nearly two and ono-half million is
to bo expended In tho construction
of public buildings. Two millions Is
to bo expended on reclamation work
and tho remainder on land
Bottlomont.
Federal Aid Hxpectcd.
It Is probable that tho reclamation
fund will bo expended in cooperation
with tho federal government on a
dollar for dollar Imals.
"Of great Importanco to future
reclamation In this stato is tho consti
tutional amendment providing for
tho guaranty of interest on irriga
tion and dralnago bonds tho first
flvo years after their Issuanco. Qn
account of heavy discount on drain-
ago and irrigation bonds this class ot
reclamation bonds havo boon under
a sovero handicap, which It Is be-
lloved will bo largely removed, if
tho interest on bonds is guaranteed
for tho first tlvo years.
"A number of other statutes, very
important to reclamation, woro en
acted at tho last legislature. Among
theso ia tho statuto providing thnt
irrigation districts may nccopt a part
of tho land ot any taud owner with
in tho district as an ofT"t oga(ijst
tho reclamation charge on tho 're
mainder of his land. Thla will prob-
ably servo as a very convenient
method of cooperating with the fed
eral government, as It will mako it
posslblo to put largo areas of land
in tho hands of an Irrlgatloon dis
trict without direct cost by tha
district, which tho district muy turn
over to thu federal government (or
land settlement or othor similar
purposes.
Bond Cvrtltlcatlon Important.

viding for tho cortlilcntlon of drain-,
ago district uonds in tho oamo man
