Mr. Thomaa. Wo oak that you

the natural resource of this country
have been wrongfully handled In

too late to remedy this. In the

Very many people bere think that

other thlag we have Inherited is a
number of twenty years quarrels.'
There ore qunrrols of twenty-years
standing on this project. The old
Reclamation Service was. In many
cases unjust. Everything will tend
to show that if a man was In favor
with the Reclamation Sorvico be
could got more relief than the man
who was not in tholr favor. On tho
other hand, the water users were
of ton tin Iho wrong. We have In
herited thoao quarrela. They must
be sullied. When we come to act
lie them we want to put our settle
ments up to you knowing that you
know our pcnlilon In the matter.
We want to say now that is the at
titude ot the majority of this bsard
of directors that whon a man comes
to us for holp, It is not a question
of whether ho is a frlond of ours or
not, but whether bo needs It. We
have inherited those quarrels but
they must be settled, they cannot
continue. The board ot d!re:tors
that Just wont out should be glad
that thoy got out when they did.

are but strangers and foreigners
with me."
That is at. t nave , siy except
that we would like lo ride with you
through that canyon..
Mr. Bradbury. What I would
Ilka to speak of Is to refer back to
the tax matter again. That is. In
this way,- as an explanation. The
Irrigation District law was passed
In 1917,' and I worked witb the
government attorney on that mat
ter. I waa a member of the com
mit tco that made tbe bill entirely
through the session. . I have been
criticized tor getting the district
under the! Irrigation district plan,
but I believe thit It was necessary
to- get under that plan for this
reason. ! The people must get used
to tho idea of their own responsib
lllty." I am roppo3cd to the blanket
relief myself, but 1 will ask you to
bear In mind this fact as to the
taxes. They are assessed and col
lected by the state. This is the as
surance the bond holders have that
their money wll be collected, but
the time comes and has come and
through regrettable conditions here
we have accrued great delinquen
cies, like we have here, add tax
measures must be taken. Now the
Doctor has said that we should col
lect some Of these debts that aro
owing us, but under the law we
cannot do that. The District can
not do that. We bave to treat
everyone alike- under the law. It
we start foreclosure proceedings we
have to foreclose every one. That
is the reason that we aro trying to
work out a plan that will, In a
measure, give general relief. I
don't ask ilio government to give
this blanket Tellet. I am asking
that we be permitted to do some of
these things for ourselves. I be
lieve tho District should assumo
some of ita responsibility. It Is
well for the officials ot the govern
ment to know the individual condi
tions, but it Is up to us, as offi
cers ot the District, to tnko the per
sonal matters into conslderaion and
doul with the Individuals. That Is
what we aro trying to do. It is our
responsibility. I don't know that
I have anything mora to say on this
subject. i
Dr. Drew. This tax situation is
the most critical ot anything we
have to' face in Klamath County,
and it is a thing that has been
growing for a number ot years. The
majority ot our tax payors are moat
ing their obligations. On tho other
hand, we have some agitators who
are advising those people and try
ing all the time to stir up agitation.
Two ot those men who enmo here
and talked wroto articles which
thoy were almost ashamed to fnthor,
advising peoplo In this very town
not. to pay their taxes. . They hove
caused a roat doal ot our delin
quent taxm, but on tho other hand,
we have people who became Involved
during tho depression who have
stayed on tholr farms and worked,
and boenmo delinquent in their
taxes and havo boon unable to pay,
and I fool that thoy should h'lvo
some rollof. I think those agitators
are to blamo for about one bait ot
the delinquent taxes, nnd thon, as
you have said, we have a tow ljn;l
Speculators who owe a great deal,
