Pag KIm Hill Cullx fur it Eonii of fyi00,000 From Stale Secured by Lien I lion the Lands An unusual piece or legislation, and one that Is of importance to the state, Is that called for by House bill No. 177, a loan of $500,000 for the con struction of the Columbia Southern Irrigation project. This bill is listed among the bills calling for appro priations, and there is an opinion that has become somewhat general that the amount of money called for is an appropriation of the regular order. Strictly speaking, the bill callB for a loan, not an appropriation, Pro vision is made that the state shall bo returned the full amount with Inter est at 6 per cent. J. N. B. Gerklng, of Laldlaw, Crook county who has been working in favor of the bill since the opening day of the legisla ture, has laid before the Irrigation committee the facts which led to the settlement of a large population In the region covered by the project. It is stated that the people were led to believe that the state was behind the project and would develop it. It is said further that the state, liiBteod of developing the project, has attempted to have it developed by corporations, but that the corporations have prof ited by bleeding both the state and the people for large amounts. The project contains approximately 30, 000 acres. (ierking Explains Bill. "FIrBt, I would like to call atten tion to the fact that this Ib not an appropriation of money In the usual sense of the word, but is rather In the nature of a loan as every dollar expended on this work will be re turned to the state with interest at six per cent. We expend vast buiiis of money annually advertising our natural resources and advantages, for the purpose of Inducing settlement of our vast areas of vacant land. In this mensure we have the opportunity of not only! effectively advertising but also of actually creating wealth and this without one cent of ultimate cost to the state. J'To secure any real results we must have satisfied Inhabitants of our state and satisfied Investors. The purchas ers of land, under this project, aro scattered throughout the very stateB from which we are now trying to In duce Bettlers to come to Oregon. Just think of the effective knocking that these people can do, In pointing out the broken promises, the failure of the state to act, the failure of the fWi ""FY F0R THE PUBLIC HEALTH I Tf?ADE MARtt We want you to try one of these preparations on our recommen dation upon our positive and absolute guurnntee.

"If Oregon makes good on a prop osition na widely and unfavorably, not to say disgracefully, known as the Columbia Southern project and turns a dlsaBterous failure into shin ing success, it will restore confidence In our Irrigation enterprises and at tract more favorable attention to Ore gon than any other act passed at this session. Shall wo, after Inducing set tlers to come to this state, show them the whitening ruins of an irrigation project backed by the state, or shall be Bhow them alfalfa fields under an irrigation project in successful oper ation, the construction of which had cleared Oregon of the charge of "wild catting" at the expense of settlers. The construction of this project is not a local matter, but one which will benefit the entire state. Next to the particular locality in which it Ib lo cated, Portland will be most bene fitted. Tho cry of "back to tho farm" Is heard on every band, and Portland's voice mingles loudly with tho rest, and rightly too, for something must be done to support her future growth. "That the state will receive back ev ery dollar it puts into this project Ib assured. Tho security is amide, the title to inoHt of the land Is now in the federal government, which is under contract to deed It to the stato as soon as It is reclaimed. The purpose of til's bill is to provide for its reclama tion and upon completion of the pro ject the state will own the land In fee. No better security could bo asked. "The stntc's guarantee was allur ing, especially to the unsophisticated who were unable to Investigate for themselves. Many moved onto their land, built homesteaders' cabins, nnd cleared their land nnd waited for the water, without which their land was worthless. They waited several years, then with Blmplo nnd Implicit con fidence in the Btute to make good its supposed gunrantee, they called the attention of the Land board to the intolerable conditions. This brought no relief and It then became known that there was not enough water to reclaim the land. The Land board had no funds with which to construct reservoirs, and upon advice of the state officers, tho settlers refused to pny tho company more money. Moral Responsibility. "Hertofore wo have described this matter strictly from a business stand point, but there Is another Bide to the question, the stnte's moral responsi bility. The state may have no legal responsibility, It seldom has, however It cannot as easily avoid its moral responsibility. Hefore any lands were Bold under this project, the stato re quired that a. report be made by an engineer, designated by It nnd paid by the company. The report wns favor able and a contrnct was entered into for the construction of the works. The land was immediately offered for sale and readily sold under tho alluring and misleading statements made with the full knowledge of the state's ad ministration officers that the state guaranteed the construction of the project. This prevented the company from doing anything further for the betterment of the project. Some of tho settlers left, believing that It was useless to rcmnln, and dcBlrlng to shake the dust of Oregon from their feet while they hnd the means to do bo. Many remained, some because having spent all their hard savings, theyt had no means with which to leave nnd were compelled to eke out an existence ns best they could, some believing that the stato would ultim ately make good its promises and re claim the land, chose to remain. It la to these people the stato owes a moral obligation which cannot be lightly regarded. "We can with one act discharge thlB obligation, create new wealth, and Increase the taxable property, ot tract much fnvorable attention to our state, and all without tho ultimate cost of a dollnr. Tho question Is, shall we have nn Irrigation project In successful operation to which wo can point with pride, or bIihII we permit the crumbling homesteader's ciibln nnd the remains of a partially com pleted Irrigation system to be a mon ument to Oregon's failure and dis grace."
