(Continued from page 279.) 



United States have invested $75,000,000 in building- 

 irrigation works to irrigate farms; not to raise the 

 values of lands held out from use. The man who 

 chooses to hold his land from use has a right to 

 speculate upon his own resources, but not upon the 

 advance loan of the Government. I think that con- 

 ditions fully justify special consideration being 

 given to those farmers who have gone upon these 

 reclaimed lands and done their best to cultivate 

 them. The notice given today is an act of leniency 

 toward a debtor who is in difficulties. It should be 

 said in justice to the water users that at the recent 

 hearing not one of them even suggested a desire 

 that the Government should waive its debt ; all said 

 that they were prepared to meet their obligations 

 to the Government if terms somewhat more favor- 

 able were given. Less than one-half of the water 

 users have paid the building charges which were 

 due December 1, 1912, and which will be delinquent 

 December 1, 1913. At this time it becomes neces- 

 sary to insist upon payment of operation, and main- 

 tenance charges, which should have beeki paid last 

 spring and were deferred owing to the pendency 

 of the Swigart vs. Baker case in the courts in which 

 the right of the Government to collect such charges 

 has now been upheld. In view of all of these con- 

 ditions it seems a wise and just thing to reduce all 

 present building payments, giving credit to those 

 who have paid."
