POLITICS IN IRRIGATION
Herewith is reproduced an editorial from the Oregon
Journpl of Portland, bearing upon a statement made bv
Commissioner Mead about keeping politics out of the
reclamation service. This is the sort of bunk that the j
Washington politicians feed to the people of the east.
Who is it that is shoving politics into the reclamation j
service, if it is not the officials of that bureau? Just i
before the recent election for directors of the Klamath J
irrigation district, we were treated to the spectacle of a
statement being issued by the reclamation service, on i
tiV apparent authority of Commissioner Mead, issued
for 1 other purpose than attempting to influence the
result of the election. The statement was filler! with
lies and misstatements throughout.
A year ago the people of the district were handed a
report ot an investigation alleged to have been made
by two representatives of the reclamation service Dent
and Stoutmeyer and this, too, was a concoction of mis
statements. Yet, every effort to get the reclamation
service to disavow either has been unavailing.
Of all the failures that the reclamation service has
been afflicted with, the worst are Work and Mead.
They have come to the people of the west declaring the
best of intentions and holding out offers of assistance.
The results have been anything but what they have
promised, so far as the Klamath project is concerned.
They have sought to club the people into obedience to
their demands and when they have refused, they h v. e
threatened to withhold appropriations; to deny the
relief that the law provides. They must learn that the
people ot the west will never submit to such tactic
The limit has been reached and unless the reclamation
service recognizes the right of the people, there will be
waged bitter and unrelenting warfare between the bu
reau and the settlers.
On the other hand, if the bureau manifests the least
fairness, if it will concede to those who are paying the
bill the rights to which they are entitled, there will be no
difficulty and the claim of the secretary that reclamation
is a failure will be proven to be a mistake and the de
mand of the . commissioner to keep politics out of the
reclamation service will be found to be unnecessary.
The trouble with the reclamation service is in Washing
ton, not in the west.
The Journal's editorial follows1
"Get politics out of reclamation," was the plea of Dr.
Elwood Mead, commissioner of reclamation, before the
Western Society of Engineers at Chicago.
With politics, federal reclamation cannot succeed, he
added.
Dr. Mead did not name Hubert Work, secretary of the
interior, as chief introducer of politics into reclamation
at this time. In all loyalty to his superior, Dr. Mead
doubtless did not have Work in mind.
Yet, outside his reputation of theories which are not
his own about the use of business methods in federal ad
ministration, Work is the person who chiefly has play
ed politics with reclamation.
He would have been willing to yield his negative at
titude on the Baker project in Oregon had he been
shown it was better politics than not to do so. That he
perisisted in opposition, that he carried his opposition,
to all so-called new projects, was because he thought the
economy note would be popular in the east.
No one has ever learned from Work that the east
contributes nothing toward the cost of reclaiming west
em lands by irrigation. He has never given the infor
mation that federal projects are financed through sale
of Western public lands and the proceeds of oil leases.
He has never made clear the fact that, vhile the east
consumed its resources, the greater part of the property
in the 11 western states the timber, the minerals, the
grazing and the public lands! was held in government
ownership. He, from, but not of the west, has never
tried to awaken anv eastern sympathy in the contest
which must be made against
time any western state secures benefit of the natural re
sources within its borders.
Some earnest-minded Oregon citizens feel that Work
is to be conciliated as a means of improving the pros-'
pect for federal adoption of Oregon projects. An in
stance is the Deschutes project, which, in all fairness,
-hould be approved by the next congress and given
prompt executive action. But Work refused even to look
at the Deschutes project during his recent rude-mannered
circuit of the west.
The theory of business administration of reclamation
projects, which is excellent, can be better represented by
manv men other than Work. Reclamation as a national
policy can go forward far more definitely under a man
whose instincts were constructive rather than destructive.
