he would see Nedrow as soon as he,
, arrived In Omaha. Nedrow was ex

Revision of Reelfltnaliuu Stat

Suggested to (long! css.
“Definite Policy” Asked
Washington. April 51—Immediate
revision of the reclamation law along
the llnee Indicated In the report of
Secretary Work's fact finding com
mission wu recommended to con
gress today by President Coolidge.
In a apeclal message the preeldent
declared adoption of a "definite pol
icy" toward reclamation projects 'to
he Imperative, and asked that "per
manent relief" for settlers, rather
than temporary extensions In rec
lamation payments, be authorized by
law.
The meeaage follows:
"I would respectfully urge on con
gress the Immediate necessity of re
vising the present reclamation law.
“The secretary of the Interior ap
pointed a special advisory committee
of six members to study reclamation
and make reports to him. That com
mittee has completed Its work and
•has made Its report to the secretary
of the Interfor and he has transmit
ted that report to me and I herewith
transmit it to you.
Iji Financial Distress.
"Many occupants of our reclama
tion projects In the west are In finan
cial distress. They are unable to
pay the chargee assessed agftlnst
them. In tome Instances settlera are
living on Irrigated lands that will not
return a livelihood for their families
and at the earns time pay the money
due to the government as It fall* due.
"Temporary extension* of tlmtand
suspension of these charges serve
only to Increase their debts and add
to their hardship*. A definite policy
is Imperative and permanent relief
should be applied where Indicated.
The heretofore adopted repayment
nlan ts erroneous In principle and
in many cases Impossible of accom
plishment. It fixes eii annual ar
hltrsry amdunt that the farmers must
pay on the construction costa of proj
ect* regardless of their production.
"In its placs should be substituted
a new policy providing that pay
ments shall be assessed by the gov
ernment In accordance with the crop
producing quality of the aril I.
"The facta developed by the spe
cial advisory committee show that of
the government’* total Investment,
114,451,14S will never be recovered.
There will he a probable loss of an
additional $4,440,000. These sume
represent expenditure* In the con
struction of reservoirs, canals and
other work for the Irrigation of land#
that have proven unproductive.
Charge Off Bum.
"I recommend that eongres* au
thorise the charging off of such sums
shown to be Impossible df collection
"Because of high rate* of In ter eat
and other agricultural difficulty ex
Isilng, farmers are often unable to
borrow money for temporary relief
The establishment of a credit fund by
the government from which farmers
on proJe<-ts may eecure capital to
make permanent Improvements and
buy equipment and live stock should
be considered.
"The prottahle lose and the tem
porary difficulties of some of the set
tiers on project* does not mean that
reclamation la a failure. The sum to
tal ilt beneficial results baa been
large In the building up of towns and
agricultural communities and la add
Ing tremendously to the agricultural
production and wealth of tha coun
try. Whatever legislation Is neces
sary to the advancement ef reclama
tion should be enacted without dw
lay.”

drastic restriction* Imposed by some
of the western states against the
movement of California commodities
through their territory were unwar
ranted In view of the assurance given
by the federal authorities as to the
effectiveness of the federsl and state
quarantines. In this attitude they
were upheld by Secretary Wallace sad
officials of tbs bureau of animal In
dustry.
Federal officials are hopeful that
the western states concerned will ac
cept President Cooltdge's proposal for
a conference to consider whether tbe
various state quarantines can he made
more reasonable and still provide ade
quate protection.
One phase of tbs situation dlaeussed
today was ths question sf transfer

that continued drouth In that sec
