The following interesting Interview
with Congressman N, J. Slnnott re
garding local and national situations
was accorded a Herald representative
today, and is ono of the most import
ant public statements made in this
state:
I am glad to have the opportunity
of again visiting Klamath County,
ami regret that the prospects of the
calling of an extra session early in
May, possibly by the 5th of May,
v ill prevent me from visiting the dif
ferent parts of the county. In lhu
limited time that I have I am able to
call only at such places In the JHs
trict where matters are pressing for
action before the Departments in
Washington.
I have always made it 3 point
whenever time permitted to confer
personally with those Interested ia
tbo particular legislation and depart
mental matters.
On account of the failure of th
supply bills, the appropriation bills,
and other legislation, due to the fili
buster in the Senate In the last tew
days of the Session, the next Seuloa
of Congress will be very Important
tn fact almost as Important as th
last Congress, the War Congr
The next Congress will be largely oc
cupied with reconstruction measures
and one of the most Important of
these Is the one aiming to secure : ir

of the arid lands of the West.
The present reclamation fund la
devoted exclusively to the completloa
of the present existing reclamation
projects. The Secretary of the Inter
ior, Mr. Lane, has adopted the poller
of not undertaking any new projects
until the existing projects are com
pleted. It results from this that no
uew irrigation projects will be under
taken for some time unless addition
al funds nro provided. The only hop
of securing additional funds lies in
the plan to provldo homes for our re
turning soldiers.
Tho country soems to be In favor of
rewarding tho returning soldiers by
giving thorn nn opportunity to secure,
