PAGE TWO. RELIEF FOR SETTLERS ON U. 6. RECLAMATION PROJECTS LOOMS (Continued From Page One) under a single project can bear the same annual construction payments yet the existing plan of repayment was based upon that assumption. Neither time nor arbitrarily fixed percent of cost {s a sound basis for determining annual payments.” As a remedy the committee advo- cates abolishment of the 20-year in- stallment plan now in operation and the substitution of a system where- by repayments shall be based upon the productive power of the lands irrigated without any fixed period when the total investment shall be returned. The productive power would be determined from the aver- nge gross annual crop production for the preceding ten years or all years of record and the yearly re- payment fixed at 6 per cent of that figure. A further step designed to bring permanent relief was proposed by the committee in recommending a detailed survey of all projects for the purpose of elnésifying lands Into zones according to their agricultural value, Lands found incapable of supporting a family and repaying construction costs would be exempt- from the repayment requirements ag nlso would farms in the course of de- velopment until their productivity warrant the assessment To relieve the water users of their heavy debts, the committee recom: mended that all unpaid and deferred charges assessed against their farm units be transférred to the construc- SUNDAY LAW 15 REPEALED WERE (Continued From Page One) fgainst which abatement proceed ings were not pending at the time of requesting the license.

The city parking ordinance which prohibits parking cars on the streets Detween 1 a, m. ant 6 a. m. will be enforced more strenuously.

The committee would grant this privilege however, only upon the condition that legally organized water users’ associations or Irrigation districts take over complete care, control and maintenance of the projects. To assume initial financial success of the operation of the projects by water users’ organizations a credit of a years’ operating and mainten- ance charge would be extended to be covered in the construction ac count and repaid later as part of the construction repayments. cumulated profits from power plant operations, leasing of grazing and farm land and sale of town sites would be credited to the construo- tion cost when the water users take over thelr management.

P19 SAFE FOR GOOLIDGE (Continued From Page One) the western seat of radicalism has not been so easy to conquer. Mr. Coolidge, according to pres- ent indications, will have a majority of the delegates at the Republican national convention on the first or second ballots. It may be that for the sake of prestige and campaign effectiveness later on almost the en- tire Republican convention will vote for Coolidge giving him the psy- chological benefit of virtually unani- mous support. All will not be smooth sailing however, for Senator LaFollette is scheduled to make a fight for a radical platform, failing in which the Wisconsin delegates and others possibly from Western states ‘will announce their decision to support a third ticket.
