MONDAY, AUGUST 18, 1924. FRANCIS EMROY WARREN OF WYOMIN (Continued from Page Twelve.) much legislation for;the benefit of his constituency, for the western states in general, and for the people of the entire country. He has been an important factor in the enactment of the progressive and beneficial laws which have been p¥%ced upon the national statute books during the terms of Presidents Harrison. Cleveland, McKinley, Roosevelt, Taft, Wilson, Harding and Coolidge, having been, during part of Presi- dent Harrison’s administration and during the entire administration of the other presidents named, or to the present date, one of the leaders | of congre: | Opportunity to Perform Good Work.| * In the opportunity to perform et- fective service for the country and for his state, Senator Warren has a most desirable position in the sen- ute. He is chairman of the Commit- tee on Appropriations, without doubt the most importagt committee of the senate, more especially so since the enactment of the Budget law, and he ranks next to the chairman on each of the Committees on Mili- tary Affairs and Public Butldings and Grounds, Should the political control of the senate go out of the hands of the present majority, Senator Warren, if he should remain in the senate, would become the ranking mirority member of all the committees on which he now serves. ‘, In congress Senator Warren is known as an indefatigible and inces- known as an indefatigible and inces- chairman of the Claims committee hei was regarded in congress as un- questioned -authority upon legisla- tion affecting claims against the government. Later, as chairman of the Military Affairs commitiee, he was looked upon as equally reliable authority on military affairs; and at present as chairman of the Senate Appropriations committee, he is con- sidered a worthy successor to. the late Senator Allison and other noted preceding chairmen of that commit- tee in thorough understanding and effective management of the great appropriation bills of the govern- sment. In his relations with other mem- bers of the senate and with mem = of the house, Senator Warret.. throughout his entire service hat been courteous, obliging and frank. He is slow to promise, but, once hav- ing promised, performance 1s ab- solutely in, if within his power to ms per! it so Due to his mastery of legislative Procedure and to the almost univer- sal friendship for him by his col- leagues in the senate and house, Sen- ator Warren has been able to ac- complish much for the country in aiding in the enactment of benficial general legislation to promote its growth and development, much for the cities and towns of Wyoming to insure their stability and perma- nence and much for the good and benefit of thousands of individual citizens of Wyoming. ‘ Pensions, In pension legislation and in as- sisting to obtain penst the Pension bureau, Se: has been the persistent and conais- tent friend of the soldiér. and his family,. During his service in the senate he has assisted in obtaining the passage of special pension bills and in securing the allowance of Pensions by the Pension bureau for citizens of Wyoming aggregating many millions of dollars. The pay- ments of pensions to the 878 United States pensioners in Wyoming in 1928 amounted to $507,541.26. Bills enacted during Senator Warren's service in congress have increased the pension of practically every Civil, Spanish and Indian war vet- eran and widow { oming. Reclamation, Senator Warren was trumental in securin, largely in- the k tion known as the National Reclama- tion act. This law had ts inception in the first appropriation made by congress to ald in irrigation which Senator Warren secured in the act | 8Pproved June 3, 1896, by which an appropriation of $5,000 was made to investigate irrigation reservoir sites in Wyoming and Colorado, The in- vestigation and report showed so clearly the desirability of govern- ment aid to irrigation that it formed the .foundation and , became the forerunner of the National Reclama- tion act. The Reclamation act itself was & committe composed of ern senators and represerita- . of which Senator Warren was chairman, and- which. held its’ first meeting in CReyenne in 1901 and its subsequent meetings in Senator Warren's committee room in the na- tional capitol building, where the act as it finally passed was formulated and framed. ‘Wyoming was the only State which had two members of this committee, Senator Warren and Rep+ resentative Mondell both being mem- bers. Mr. Mondell had charge,of and Secured the passage of the bill in the House. Under this act scores of; millions of dollars have been allotted for ex- Penditure in conserving and. storing water In reservoirs, and in due time every foot of water thus stored will be utilized in irrigating and‘reclaim- ing all the lands susceptible of agri- culture development which can be reached. Of the antount allotted for expenditure under the Reclamation act, Wyoming has, recelyed generous apportionments fo¢, the | Shoshone Project, the North Platte Wyoming and N project, and the River- + and recognition has re- n given by the g ‘oposed Ca rogress is necessarily slow in the construction of government re- clamation works, but the works are substahtial in character and built for all time, and w completed will become permanent and durable in- stitutions for the welfare and bene- fit of the state. Indian Affairs. F Senator Warren, in co-operation with his colleagues in the Wyoming aelegation in congress, has secured quate appropriations for the edu: , cation and care of Indians in Wyom:| tion. ing and for the installation of a com- plete irrigation system on thé Wind River reservation, Legislation was. secured, also for diminishing the area of the lands set aside for the use of the Indians, and at the pres: ent time the ceded bande thon placed, at the disposal of are be ing utilized by, and fow considerable oj] development on the reservation is jn progress. Agricul For aiding agriculture and stock: raising in Wyoming, Senator War- ren and his colleagues have obtained appropriations for Wyoming which aggregate annually several hundred thousand dollars. These appropria- tions are expended in maintaining. weather ‘bureau stations, national salaries, inspection of sheep and cat- tle and eradication of scabies, and protection of wild etk, and co- operation with the stdte in dry farm experiments and entomological investigations, < He has advocated annually an ap- propriation.for the purchase of drqught-reststant seeds for dry-farm ues._ ; Military Affairs, In ‘connection with army legisla- tion directly affecting Wyoming; Senator Warren introduced and se cured the passage of the measure creating the three “rough rider” cav+ alry regiments for the Spanish- American war, He has at all times worked unceasingly for the improve- ment and enlargement of Fort D, A. Russell, upon which the government has expended over $5,380,000, making it one of the most substantial, best equipped, and most useful military posts in the United States. He secured the passage of . an amendment appropriating funds to construct a chapel for the use of al denominations at Fort Yellowstone when it was a military station. He introduced and aided in secur- ing the passage of an amendment appropriating funds to acquire all private lands in the Pole mountain maneuver grounds for the war de- partment, thus’ making ft the finest army maneuver ground in the Unit- epublican Candidate for Nomination for of way for street Fort school, 1914; seven-years active” practice of law in Minnesota and Wyoming.
