The original plan of the Govern
ment was ta return to each State a
sum equal to the amount contributed
by said State less a percentage for
overhead expenses. In the early his
tory of the Reclamation Service, con
struction of projects was begun in a
number cf 'he States ar.d in order
to carry on the work and complete
the projects it. became necessary to
borrow from the Reclamation funds
of other States. Soon the project
work in some of the States assumed
a proportion beyond .the possible re
ceipts from .i t sale of Public Lands
in those Stars?. It wr.s then that the
original plaa was repudiated and new
rules adopted which provided that
the reclamau;ui receipts be placed
in one general fund and for general
expenditure on reclamation work
without regard to the receipts from
the State.
This proved a great value to some
of the S'aU'.i, while others were
forced to suffer accordingly. The
figures shown yibove but prove the
statement. Arizona received 1100
of her contribution and Nevada
856;t. With :he exception of Oregon,
all of the ! .'thwost States have re
ceived an amount equal or greatly in
excess of t'.. contributions; Idaho
n.i',i, Motuma 10, Utah 145",
and Vat,i:it.h' ii while Oregon
has received but 41.' It will be
noted thai: Kansas. Nori.li Dakota and
Oklahoma have received i less than
has Oregon, jut there is a reason in
that there -as not in those States
the need f tr irrigation reclamation
as there wis and is in Oregon. In
this slate M'.ii the land and soil,
water available and climatic con
ditions exce;e!it, there is a crying
need for revaluation. Thousands of
acres now almost barren, could be
made prod'i -e wonderful crops.
While thni no longer exists any
legal obliga .it'll upon the part of the
Government to return to Oregon the
$6,5Of,000. which is the excess of
contributioa aver reclamation inves
ment, yet iiire still remains the
moral obligation.
This sum ihould come to the
State in addition to a just percentage
of any futire appropriations for
general reclamation work. If the
peoiue of Oregon will but study the
comparative ri?ures given above, they
cannot help but realize that, the
State has i-'. been justly treated.
Every aseaey in the State and
every tax paer has an interest,
either dir fly or indirectly in this
mailer, and i united effort should be
put forth to -.ecure a just expenditure
of reclamation funds here. Every
acre irrigjd adds to the taxable
value of the State and increases
Oregon's production area."

People witl; kidney ills want to be

tures of au aching back, relief is

remedies today that relieve, but do

Mis. II Hughes, Court St., says:
"My back :hed and throbbed so
badlv at tinms I could hardly stand
the pain. Vim way my kidneys were
acting wan causing me a lot of dig
tress. I hail taken only a few doses
of Doan's Kidney Pills when I
noticed a big change; my hack felt
stronger ari l my kidneys acted more
.regularly. One box permanently
cured tho touble and since then I
have enjoy! the best of health."

MEN and WOMEN of OREGON!
The imprint of fame upon the name of our fair state will turn to a stain of shame

The Parent Bond of Them All
The government bond is the Parent bond of all bonds. Back of the gov
ernment bond are all the assets and all the resources that supply the value
of all other bonds, all other securities, all other investments.
The government bond is a prior hen on lands, homes, chattels and every
thing else, and the bonds to be issued under the name of the Victory Lib
erty Loan are the highest of the high in government bonds. They constitute
a contract of the United States government, entered into by unanimous vote
of congress, and therefore a contract and mortgage behind which stands the
possessions of One Hundred and Ten Million American people with theirj
entire resources developed and undeveloped; the intelligence, ambition and
ability of these One Hundred and Ten Million people mortgaged to pay the
bill.
The Victory Liberty Loan Bonds will bear an attractive rate of interest
and, together with all other desirable elements, wlen compared with other
investments as to strength, collateral and return, have no equal.
This is one of 176 advertisements inserted simultan
eously in every newspaper in the State of Oregon on
behalf of the success of the Victory Liberty Loan for.
we believe in this cause and are willing to contribute
to the full extent of our power.
