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,"" : ':'' ' .'.'.'.
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

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

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

caso he probably will run things to
suit himself capltalistlcally. lie
may even be practical business man

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."

"I wish to liiko Issue with you,
Mr. Carnahan," was tho prompt re

over tho faces of tho Power com
pany coterie a smile of relief beam

about that and It has nothing to do

. "As chairman of a committee, be

sed, as It applies not only to this
project, but to all others. It was do
clded that no moro additional areas
would bo Irrigated until thoso now
under water wero farmed and thero
was a turning back to the soil on tho
