IB ASKING
E
Petitioning Secretary
Of Interior for Relief
During Present Cri
sis.
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.
Flvo per cent penalty collected
under tbo stato law for dollnquoncy.
Ono por cent Interest por month
on defaulted payments, and one per
cent Interest per month additional
collected by the United States for
defaulted water charges.
Tho petition further says that for
tho past two or threo years the coat
of operation and maintenance has
been steadily Increasing, and lhat the
prlco paid for products has not kept
pace with theso Increased coeU.
"This project Is essentially a bay and
grain producing area, not adapted to
production of many other crops ow
ing to climatic and other condltlona."
It calls attention to our remote
ness from a basic markot. high
f rclEht rates nnd tho tremendous
drop In prices of all products. "The
local banks, which havo alwaya car
ried tho farmors. have been so alter
ed by the general financial depres
sion that thoy are unable to easist
tbo farmors In this crisis." aaya the
petition.
According to tho petition, approx
imately $130,000 Is coltocttble by the
county, only about $20,000 of wntcn
haa been paid.
"Facing, aa we aro," continue the
potltlon, "a situation which otfera
no Immodlato prospect ot oeuer
ment, wo ask. early action on the fol
lowing suggestions:"
First: The' suspension ot con
struction charires and penaltlea now
