FRIDAY, MAY 29, 1925 AN ANSWER TO A PUZZLING QUESTION . In the brief discussion that arose between Chairman Campbell and -Attorney Carnahan at yesterday's hearing before the Board of Survey and Arjustment, the chair man stated that there would be no more marked ex tension of irrigation until there was a turning back to the soil by . the people. A somewhat similar view was expressed by. Secretary Work and Commissioner sMead when tRey were here. Throughout the entire govern mental ranks there is talk of the necessity for more farmers, for increased development of tlie lands now irrigated and. a. sort of astonishment at the apparent stagnation that has gripped many of the projects under the Reclamation Service. We are equally astonished at the failure of these vari ous agencies to understand what the trouble is. . We may confine ourselves to the Klamath project When the government came m here it promised water for 20 an acre. That promise has never been kept. Most of the men who signed up at that time have cursed the day the Reclamation Service ever came here. This atti tude is not due to the lack of faith in what water will do, but to their acquired lack of faith in the honesty of the men who represent the government. , ; These men have come in here with the attitude of -czars. They lost sight from the start that it was not the government's money they were, spending, but thatof the farmers. They never failed to tell the farmers that every cent would have to be repaid. They always failed to- make an accounting to the men who were to pay and resented anv sutrffesuons that rnirrht come from them. '' Incompetencey and waste ran riot, until the cost of the project mounted and mounted until it has brought our people to the brink of ruin. Every special interest that could be served at the expense of the farmers was serv ed and it requires no astuteness for the ordinary man to see at the hearings that are being conducted in this city , this week the open antagonism of every govern ment employe to the welfare of the farmers and their special interests in everything that will militate against J tnem. . ;' They seem to forget that all possible power develop ment, the power sites, the water rights, everything, be long to our people not to the interior department, ex cept insofar as it is part of what constitutes the people's government; that it is their duty as a matter 'of con science, as honest employes of our government, as serv ants of the people who pay the bill, to get everything out of every asset that belongs to the project. That is all the people here want and that is what fhey are going to have if they have to continue the struggle until it is settled by their children s children. ' As to a turning back to the soil, so far as reclamation projects are concerned, it will never occur until there is a turning back the money that has been wasted in their construction. As Secretary Work has stated, every federal reclamation project has been a failure. Why? Because they were handled by failures. As a result the cost has mounted to a point where successful farm ers will not undertake their development, because they can invest their money elsewhere and secure greater returns. (- - The time may come when all projects will be fully developed, but they will be developed upon millions of heart aches of the women and children whose lives they have ruined and whose happiness will he buried m the soil. It will be upon the best years in. the lives of the men who entered upon their ' mission' with bouyan'c spirits, to come out in old age with a burden of poverty. and misery so great that all the glory oi a beautitul God nit.v the msn whn are rpslnnsirilp fnr snr-Vi i-psiiltj? If we had the power to pass sentence upon them, we would condemn them to cany through' their lives the disappointment; the pain and suffering,1 the grief and sorrow of these women and children; we would load them down with the stunted lives and thwarted hopes and ambitions that were blitrhted bv reasons of their acts; we would make the heart aches suffered by their victims eat into their very souls until their every moment wouio: oe a niaeous torture; and wnen tne hour ot aeatn arrived it would be such as no mortal ever suffered or described. Beyond the grave we would let the penalty they have earned pursue them, so that they would suf fer in multiplied form the hell they dispensed upon earth and then regret that our power to punish was restricted to ueh.' limited means. : ; r Th6y would' then realize in part what they have Ais Censo'il thtopgriyw the projects of the west and what they will continue to create unless they reverse their attitude towards the people who have so confidently placed their trust in the hands of their government TODAY'S CROSS WORD PUZZLE b 1 ii j u 1 gsr!s?, I?

I had to hire, private detectives. Before the trio reached Great Falls, Hayes had told so Weak a story that they were turned hack. But that hill: alone exceeded $1000. The Washington caso will he still more exponsivo. Most of tho Mon tanu witnesses wcro right there. They'll have to be brought to Wash ington. Perhaps Wheeler could man age it by straining his Inst resource but his friends feel it will bo hard If ho has to sacrifice house and home to vindicato himself cspcclnl Ij if the Washington charges prove us flimsy as those In Montana were. Of his conviction they express no fear, but, said one of them, "I'll bo surprised if there Isn't at least one juror to insure a disagreement. There wasn't in Montana, but Wash ington's different." . Wheeler's lucky In his friends. But for them the justlco depart ment would break him financially. If not otherwise . ' Tho State Department looks with tentative satisfaction upon Leon Trotsky's return to power In Kussln. The. department realizes It may bo disappointed but Just now it thinks the" outlook: encouraging. As the world knows, even Lenin admitted undiluted communism had fulled and sanctioned n partial restoration pf capitalism. Trotsky favored Ub complete restoration. A good com munist until bo tried it, he'd bad enough. After Lenin died, ho came out openly for whole hog capitalism. ; ' You have to give Trotsky credit for sense and nerve to cbnngo Jilu mind but it cost him his job ns war minister. It would have cost him his life but this radicals were afraid, lie still hud too many supporters. So they exiled him. Now he's back. One possible explanation is that he's recanted his heresy, A llkller one Is that tho radicals got Into such a ) ft in they bad to havo him. In that caso he probably will run things to suit himself capltalistlcally. lie may even be practical business man enough to acknowledge llussin'8 for eign debts. That's all Washington can ask.

CumplH'll-Oiriinlmu Tilt It was In tha discussion ot this report that Chairman Campbell und Ativruey t'unuih.in exchanged some rupler thrusts that enlivened tho proceeding. It arose over the ques tion of possible acreage to b irr gated. In tho report, Mr. Lamm al lottee) to Tulu lake an area ot 75,- 000 acres and to Lower Klnmnth lugo 59,000. When Prjject Munng er Newell was called upon to verify these figures, he cut this acreage to 35.000 fur Tulo lake and 27.500 for Lower Klamath Lake. With his usual verbal gymnastics ho kept repealing, each tlmo ha used Iris figures, "to the Oregon stuto line." It was a puzzling expres sion until Mr. Campbell put him on the gridiron and mado him udmlt that' there was no present IntentiL'ii of irrlgutlng tho lands south of the stnto line. That's Just the point." oxchtlmcd Mr. Cnrnuhnn. "Itcallzlng Hint if tho full avalluhlo acreage Is Irrigat ed, the power company will lose tho water Hint Is being filched from tho farmers of this district without one cent of return, it is now proposed to cut down' tho ncrcago so that every acre tho area of tho project Is re duced means Just that much mora water to pour through the penstock of the California Oregon Power plant nt Copco. Kvcrything for tho Power company; nothing for tho farmer." t'niiipliell Doubtful "I wish to liiko Issue with you, Mr. Carnahan," was tho prompt re sponse ot Chairman Campbell, as over tho faces of tho Power com pany coterie a smile of relief beam ed.

"As chairman of a committee, be fore which this matter was discus sed, as It applies not only to this project, but to all others.
