TWO DAYS' COST OF WAR
Nothing Stands in Way of Pro

Appropriation All of Which
Will Be Returned.
Tlie appropriation of a sum equal
to but two clays' cost of the groat war
will r< claim and make productive
thousands of farm homos in this coun
try in many slates, including Idaho,
f « » 1 * returning soldiers. That is the
plan of Franklin K. Lane, secretary of
the interior, tlie state council of this
state has been informed. The plans to
put this amount of money to work
bringing about t lie reclamation are
made. Nothin« - stands in the way ex
cept the pending appropriation, all of
which will be returned to the govern
ment when the reclaimed lands pay
out.
STATEMENT RECEIVED.
The following statement was sub
mitted to the state council by the
Washington author!iic.s:
"Secretary Lane is before congress
after $1 00,non,000 for land develop
ment for returning - soldiers. President
approved in bis message to congress,
Roosevelt approved before death in a
big magazine article. LsmC wants to
create farms by reclaiming arid lands
in west, draining swamps in south and
clearing cut-over lands in north. Every
state affected. Present bill equals
only two days' cost of war. It. really
should be increased. On Australian
basis for same work a proportional
cost to America would be four billions.
"Canada offers soldiers a possible
total of Ü20 acres land and $3000 cash.
Lane wants to employ soldiers on the
reclamation work at full wages, have
them build the homes, slock the farms
and sell them to them on 40-year basis
at 4 per cent, cost to be finally re
turned to government. The south has
4 0,000,000 acres alone, the entire coun
try 250,000,000 acres to be developed.
Roads also needed. Development of
farms will develop manufacturing to
supply implements and buildings. No
time to wait for already surplus labor
idle in many states. If action now
land can get much work done during
present year when needed. Delay will
postpone w^rk into 1920.
"Lane appeared before a caucus of
the house and made remarkable speech
quoting from some of the 1000 letters
the soldiers have written him. Women
also writing. With the $100,000 pre
viously furnished for survey the work
has been carried on and nothing
stands in the way of going ahead but
the government's loan, not gift, of the
necessary mon- . This should not in
terfere with present farm product
