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.
