WHY, FEDERAL RECLAMATION PROJECTS FAIL
.- & Secretary Work claims that privately owned irrigation
'works are a success and that every, federal project is a
v failure.. ' The failure is due to the incompetency of the
men in charge the men whorri Secretary Work . backs
up and supports against the evidence and against the
' demands of the fanners. Here in Klamath county we
have seen the farmers .brought to. the point' of bank-
ruptcy - through the dishonesty and ; incompetency of
, reclamation 'officials. Yet,- Secretary. Work . turns a
deaf ear to the demands of the farmers, with the answer
. that' there are only a few malcontents and. they prin
cipally big land owners. - He sees the water and power
stolen from the farmers, yet tells us that Wasn't hurt the
farmer so far. The trouble wityi Secretary Work is
that he is either dishonest in his attitude, or he is thoro;
- ughly; incompetent, and in either case it ia going to be
a difficult matter to break in upon his sensibilities-to a
point where he will see the injustice" done, to the farm
. ers of the Klamath project' by the Reclamation Service
and its coalition -. with the . Calif ofnia" Oregon Power
company. . . -. ' . .
The following editorial from the'. San Francisco Examiner-tells
a story that could be repeated about the
Klamath project if the federal officials had not-1 stripped
it of all of the really valuable assets it possessed and
turned them over to a private corporation1. " , v;,.'
Secretary Work recently came on a flying trip to
' California and spoke in praise, of this state's electrical
power development. - t . . . - v ;
' , . In this month's issue of "Progresa," the monthly pro
' paganda. organ of the Pacific Gas and Electric company,
- Secretary Work is quoted as saying: , .
The privately built irrigation districts are a success all
. - over, the west, while not a single federal project is a
; going concern. Private against public ownership again.
The latter won't w.ork. "... . '.: : .. . ,
;"If "not a single federal project is a going concern,"
.y past Secretaries of the Interior probably- know why.
. , ,7&ut.Dr. Work's tour through California was apparently
too 'rapid for him to pause and take note of the Los
.Angeles municipal water and power system, which is in
v lai'ge : part an irrigation feeder ; and of i the Modesto-
Turlock irrigation district, which is certainly attaining
remarkable success. .'. .
Modesto, selling its "share of the power output of the
Don Pedro project, lately reported a net profit of $65,-
235.46. This was accumulated in the first sixteen months
of operation, which included the driest season on record.
. There are about 6,000 meters on the' Modesto system,
, only sufficient as yet to use half its' power,; so the above
'profit was earned with half the capacity of the produc
ing plant lying idle.: ; Moreover, last year the district had
to buy $30,000 worth of water from this, city, an ex
ceptional expense which, under normal conditions, would
have been added to the net profit.
Modesto ha's.educed. its electrtcity rates until they are
' ; just about the ; cheapest in ' the state. Result: house-'
wives throughout ' the district are installing "electric
, kitchens." There are 940 electric ranges in theTurlock
Modesto district today. "The newfModesto Junior Col--
' lege, the. Modesto high school. and practically all the
;; ' grammar schools are heated by electricity; new .office
buildings are installing electric. heating instead of steam;
the reason for this is that the pubKcJy-owned system has
v the lowest rate, for heating, and cooking, to be found
, in California.-. A ; . ., ; . . n
; Secretary .Work should examine the Modesto data'
v before making the sweeping statement that "public
ownership won't work." ., -, , , -

"Wo bavo sixty days to pnipuro

In closing, tho railroad counsel

"I hnvo .been In mmi" railroad
