SOLDIERS AFTER
WORLD ill
(By Associated Press)
IDAHO FALLS, Idaho, Jan. 30.—The
returning American soldier who finds
his former occupation gone should be
given a part of the public domain
properly cleared or otherwise outfit
ted for immediate use at the govern
ment’s expense, said F. h. Newell,
head of the University of Illinois, in
an address here today before the joint
conference of agricultural, livestock,
engineering and irrigation societies of
Idaho.
, Mr. Newell urged the immediate ap
j propriation of $100,000,000 or more by
the government to put through irri
gation and reclamation schemes and
otherwise put the remaining public
lands in such shape that the returned
fighting man may go on them with
hope of securing a living return at
once. Mr. Newell said in part:
“In older days it was recognized as
a matter of course that the conquerors
should take from the vanquished suit
able fertile soil by which the former
soldiers might he enriched. With us
this is not possible. We can not or
would not claim additional lands; we
must meet the greater problem of
homes and of employment in some
other way. How shall we do it? How
shall we not only increase the food
producing area now' but bo prepared
to continue its increase at an acceler
ated rate in the near future?
“The United States still owns mill
'ions of acres and at first glance it
appears as though these might serve
as in the past. The more we study
these, however, the more we become
impressed with the fact that although
the extent is vast the proportion is
small which can be put to Immediate
use. The lands have been picked over
and over again, and the choice spots
selected, especially those which con
trol the necessary water supply. II
would be cruel to induce any man
without armple funds and without ex
perience to try to make a living on
most of these lands or to settle upon
them trusting to his own strength and
ingenuity as was done by the pioneer
of a former generation. yet as
we see the west, there are' unlimited
possibilities in these lands. Thou
sands of prosperous homes can be
made and food produced for millions
of people; but to do this there must
be provided adequate means for over
coming the lack of moisture and for
getting fields into cultivatable form.
“We have only begun on the great
work of reclamation. We have gone
into it with energy, large investments
have been made under enthusiastic
promotion. Ten years ago everything
pointed to a rabidly expanding develop
ment but to the surprise of all this
promise of continuing growth and ac
tivity has not been fulfilled. The
swelling buds of reclamation have
been nipped by early frost and instead
of more resevoirs, more canals and
vastly expanding areas of irrigated
land, we now see far fewer entemrises
under way than were being vigorously
pushed a few years ago. While the
food producing area is extending and
under the stress of 1917 was greatly
increased, yet the rate of development
is less than is necessary to supply our
needs and far below that which we
Stave reason to anticipate.
“We have two great questions, or
teally two branches of one problem,
namely, how to get money or credit
first for building the reclamation
works great or small, and, second, for
providing the settlers under these with
adequate capital. The engineering
questions we may well ignore for the
present as these have been practically
feolved but the financial matters are
those which are open for debate. There
is in one sense plenty of money to be
had, but it can be obtained only by
assurance of the ultimate return of
the principal and interest.
“There is no probability, however,
that funds can be had from any source
—public or private—without the adop
tion of a plan which secures the ul
timate return of the original expendi
tures by the ow ners of the lands or by
the community benefitted, nor is there
any reason why this return should not
be made. These lands are greatly in
creased in value by reclamation; this
^practical unearned increment should
in all fairness go in part toward re
funding the original cost of the works
which have produced the added value
“Will the governments, national
state or municipal, plunged into debl
by the great war, be able to obtain
money for reclamation purposes’
They most assuredly should, becaust
such expenditures are vital to return
ing prosperity. Whatever other ex
penditures may be cut off there should
be no diminution but rather an In
crease of the outlay for projects which
obtain food. Even impoverished as
they may be they can always obtain
money for this purpose and if reason
able assurances are given of the safe
investment of money, it can be had at
a low rate of interest—one sufficiently
moderate to enable it to be absorbed
in the cost of the works or even car
ried by the public bodies concerned.
In other words as a result of the ex
perience of the past, the government
can well afford to borrow money di
rectly or indirectly to aid in the in
crease of .homes and to the productive
farms which may be available for the
soldiers.
The United States has already in
vested over $100,000,000 in reservoirs
and canals of known value and pro
ductive capacity. Using these as a
basis of credit, an equivalent amount
could be borrowed at a low rate of in
terest and utilized in building other
works, which if economically con
structed, would serve in turn as an
assurance by which still larger funds
could be had. In the meantime the
cost of the works already built is be
ing returned to the government and
can be used over again. Under wise
and conservative financial manage
ment it is possible to continue along
these lines to an ever widening extent.
“But how about financing the set
tlers? Here we have had less exper
ience but are rapidly obtaining it.
Many well thought out plans have been
considered and may be presented here.
They are all well based, however, upon
confidence in the ultimate ability and
intent of settlers to make good to re
pay the loan. Enough has been
demonstrated to show that if we fol
low the rules laid down by business
men, if we carefully select the settlers
and their families who are tft go upon
the reclaimed land and use ordinary
precautions, we can safely guarantee
the return of the money. In other
words, the community organization re
sponsible for each and every debt can
see to it that the members to their
part. The co-operation thus made nec
essary is one of the greatest factors
of success in all other lines.”
