T.R;
POLICY MUST I
' UPHELD, SAYS I
SPOKANE, June 20. Opposition
to any chanKe In the federal reclama
tion policy was exnrenned here by
Senator Krank R. Gooding 0i Idaho,
just before he left for his home In
OooUint?, Idaho, late last nlsht. He
also declared that he was opposed to
the proposal to chartfo interest on
construction money and to individual
. tates assuming "the burden of land
settlement on federal projects."
"We must not be diverted from our
reclamation policy as established by
ineouore itooseveit," be declared.
"It is as much a function of the
government to reclaim arid western
lands as it Is to dredge harbors, im
prove rivers and build levees. The
only difference is that the govern
ment gets back every cent It spends
on reclamation while it never gets
back nny money spent on river and
harbor improvements.
"1 am opposed to people being
taxed into interest for building irriga
tion projects when the cost of produc
tion comes out of our own natural re
sources. Keejumation basn't failed.
The men on the other projects will
meet all their obligations."
