A potltlon Is being circulated to tho Secretary of tho Interior br tho landowners' of tbo Klamath project, asking for rollof by the suspension of tho operation and maintenance and construction charges for this year, or until tho present crisis Is passed. Tho petition states that "tho farmers of tbo Klamath projoct have daring the entire history of tbo uroloct. keot ud practically all of tbclr payments and lived up to tholr engagements with tho United States punctually. Their appeal In this Instance is raado with tho greatest roluctancce and only aa a last resort. It Is tho appeal of an honest dobtor to his creditor for an enlargement of tlmo In which to pay. Tho potltlon further sots forth that If tho letter of tho law Is enforced, tho landowners who are unable to meet tho payments will be subjected to penalty and Interest amounting to 39 per cent, by reason of a contract entered Into bctweon tho United States and tho district In 1918 which provides penalties and intorcst aa follews: Ten per cent to be collectod by tho district for delinquency.
