Commissioner of Reclamation Delivers Add ress At Caldwell John C. Page talks'on Relationship Between Bureau and Water Users. Caldwell, Sept. 15—Commissioner of Reclamation John C. Page, de livered to the Federal Irrigation Congress at its annual meeting, held here yesterday morning at ten o ’clock at the Dairymens Co-opera tive Creamery and address on 'The Relationship Between the Bureau of Reclamation and its Water Users.’ Mr. Page addressed the Congress by saying. In part: ’’The future of the Federal Rec lamation policy rests with the pro ject water users. In the end, the attitude of the farmers served by the Irrigation sytsems built by the United States will be accepted as the criterion of the success of this work. Projects Prosperous Generally, our project people have been prosperous, although agricul ture under Irrigation is subject to the same depressive influences which operated In rural and In urban—areas everywhere a few years ago. Lost year the crop re turns from Federal projects totaled $136,502,480, or an averageof $47 10 per acre. Last year and for the years before that, through the de pression and beyond, the farmers on Federal projects received a per acre crop return about about two and one half times that received on the average by all the farmers In the United States. Ninety-nine per cent of all the money which has become due and payable under re payment contracts has been col lected by the Bureau of Reclama tion. Water users of all participating projects should be proud of their records. They are records of obliga tions solemnly accepted, which should be scrupulously met. Commission to Study Repayment There Is no disposition anywhere, and certainly not In the Bureau of Reclamation, to turn Uncle Sam I&A d an Uncle Sliylock. determined Ctsftake his pound of flesh, where $ thpse contracts arg concerned. The Bureau and the Department of the Interior this year support ed] the Congress passed, and Presi dent Roosevelt approved two bills, one to set up a commission to study the repayment system of the Bur eau of Reclamation In an effort to find a better method, and the sec ond appropriating $30.000 to finance the Investigation and the prepara tion of a report to the Congress next year In addition, the Commission has authority to recommend to the Secretary of the Interior the cur tailment cr suspension of repay ments due for 1937 from projects where this action Is warranted by present conditions. The Commissi, n will be set up shortly Secretary Harold L. Iokes, of the Department of the Interior, now Is considering names of those eligible to serve The Secretary, you may be sure, ts making an honest effert to obtain outstanding men. with thorough understanding of Irrigation and its problems. In whom you and the whole country may hare confidence, and whose find ings will carry weight In the Con gress I will say with all frankness that I hope the Commission will be able to devise a repayment method which will do away for all time with the necessity for and agitation for blanket moratorla on project repay ments Moratorla In which all pro jects share, and share alke. re gardless of the need for relief or the financial conditions prevailing among project water users, when continued beyond the emergency for which they were devised, threat en the very foundation of the Fed eral Reclamation policy. I am op posed to them, as should be all of us who are interested in continuation of the Federal Reclamation pro gram. Fund Created When the Federal Reclamation policy was adopted with the Act of June 17, 1902, It was designed as a means of assisting the western states and from similar sources, all western, was put in a special fund, the Reclamation Fund, for use in development of the West through construction by the Federal Gov- eranment of irrigation projects. The Reclamation Fund Is a revolving fund. The cost of the projects built with money from this fund is repaid by those benefitting and the repay ments go back into the fund. To Repay Costs The fundamental principal upon which the policy was founded was that those who benefit should pay the cost of their projects, without Interest, in order that the benefits could be spread through new con struction to others. Tills principle is the unchanging foundation rock upon which the Federal Reclama tion policy is erected. All that the West owes to Federal Reclamation in the way of growth and develop ment Is a result o f this. All the promise that a continuation of the Federal tclamation policy holds for the future of these arid and semtartd states Is no more secure than the Integrity of the repayment principle. Anything which tends to cut away this foundation, as do In discriminate and blanket moratorla, threatens the whole Reclamation structure. The principle Is fundamentally sound. It Is for that reason that I oppose blanket tnoratoria and favor more discriminating relief for projects which are In need. It Is for that rea son that I call upon you and the water users of all Federal Reclama tion projects to do likewise. Projects Exploit'd to RePay It Is Important that everyone note emergency funds, and that three Federal Reclamation projects were coitstructed with allotments from emergency funds, and that thdee projects and under construction with appropriations from the gen eral fund of the Treasury, every Federal Reclamation project Is ex pected to repay In full the cost of Its construction. Tliere is no dif ference in this regard between a project constructed from the Recla mation fund and one for which al lotments were made I believe that the only type of project undertaken by allotment from the Public Works Administration and the Emergency Relief Administration which is ex pected to repay In full the entire amount, are the reclamation pro jects. It might be said that this fact makes the Federal Reclamation projects a preferred class. Continued Building I am confident that the Federal Government will continue to build reclamation projects Just so long as it can be said honest ly that there ts reasonable expectation that the projects will repay their costs. Re pudiation of repayment contracts by water users would be fatal, and continued agitation for moratorla In Instances where they are not clear ly Justified would be a staggering blow. Water I ’aers Organization ganization should not serve the selfish interest of any group or speak the will of any organized minority. It should be truly repre sentative. It could furnish us guid ance and advice, help us to avoid mistakes, and make a real contri bution toward better understanding. The project water users should consider the embarrassing situation In which they would place their Congressmen and the Bureau of Reclamation If they should urge construction of supplemental stor age reserviors, which mean added investment by the United States and request simultaneously suspen sion of repayments on previous ex penditures. Federal Reclamation has Its carp ing critics who can turn all statis tics into deficits and who can paint word pictures of any Irrigated farm in which its green fields appear more barren than the desert from which it was so arduosuly carved. Thes? would be as happy as a pup with its teeth in a rag doll to dis cover a real argument to take the place of the straw men with which they disport themselves. Personally, I would be willing to give to any man the right to say whether the Federal Reclamation program has been valuable to the nation and whether It should be continued, If he could but have a vision of what this area around Caldwell and Boise, or that around Phoenix, Arizona.or Yakima, Wash., for example, would be without irri gation. The social and economic creations in these western states: the bent of these people for cooperation and teamwork: the homes they have made: the rural communities and the cities they have built from nothing; and the wealth they have generated all are convincing argu- mnts and each represents an asset to the nation of immeasurable Im portance.” * ’# | W Local Dealers To Sponsor Free “Talkie” "Hidden Treasures’’, new all- talking sound-on-film farm picture will b ; ^iown Wednesday at 8:00 p. m. In the high school auditorium under the sponsorship of Jackson Lumber Company and Baldridge Implement Company, local dealers for the Keystone Steel & Wire Co., Peoria, Illinois, makers of Red Brand fence, steel posts and other wire products. The featu>e picture, “ Hidden Treasures” Is the absorbing, human stcry of a young man who believed in the treasure that lies burled in th soil—and who found it. In his uccess farmers will see the prac tical, successful soil handling and farming methods that unlock the treasure In any soil. It’s said to be an even finer picture than “Tom Dick, and Harry Co.” the last Key stone “ talkie" that ran with great success for thiee years. Added to this feature will be a d ip by motion picture through the modem Keystone steel and wire mills—showing the huge open hearth furnaces that pour forth tons of flaming molten steel, to be cast in Tngots, rolled into billets, rods and finally into wire, which is con verted into fence, barbed wire, nails, etc. It's a remarkable pic ture, and decidedly worth seeing. The evening’s entertainment will be completed with a fast moving “talkie” featuring the "Hoosier Hot Shots’’—clowning, singing, paying stars of radio and stage, and an an imated cartoon comedy. There are two full hours of high grade enter tainment.
