UPPER COLORADO RIVER PROJECT A report showing that, nearly 21 million acres of fine farm lands are now lying idle in 19 Eastern, and Midwestern States soon be placed before Confess. Rep.

Craig Hosmer of California said that he would present to the House of Representatives evidence to show that while the Federal Bureau of Reclamation is asking Congress to approve enormous costly new irrigation pro- ects, at least 20,937,153 acreas of he best American crop land are unused for any purpose. "Right now," Hosmer stated, we have before us in Congress he gigantic Upper Colorado. River Project. Unquestionably he most expensive and unsound cheme yet devised, it would aring into production more than lalf a million acres in high, bar- en, remote areas of Wyoming, Colorado, Utah and New Mexico. "With millions of acres of the est farm land awaiting the plow i areas where the rainfall is leavy and 'the growing season ong, the Reclamation Bureau vould force this great burden of he Upper Colorado River Pro- ect on the American taxpayers." The Republican Congressman aid that at his request a survey ad been conducted to determine he amount of good crop land ow idle and available for farm- ng, if needed.

The data was sup- ilied by field offices of the U.S. soil Conservation Service. "We considered only land in lasses II and III," Hosmer tated. "This is the best agricul- ural land, and the total does not nclude woodlands, pastures or lands. "I previously notified the mem- lers of Congress from the States which the survey was made hat the information was forth- oming so that they could, if they vished, take whatever action they deem appropriate.

"I consider the findings of this urvey nothing short of amazing. addition to the 21 million acres of the best farm land that is now are idle in the humid area of the ons of other acres in lower soil llasses and in other States that die in the humid area of the Nation. Much of this idle lower class vith nto pasture.

The enormous cost of establishing municipal governments, police forces, schools, building of highways and new towns must be added to the cost of developing the arid lands. "It is an unbelievable proposal 'or the purpose of growing more farm products of the kinds already in great surplus while there are these millions of acres of good idle land in the Midwest, South and East." Hosmer said the survey had seen conducted under his direct- on in the States of Alabama, Arcansas, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kentucky, Louisiana, Michigan, Minnesota, Miss- sippi, Missouri, North Carolina, Ohio, South Carolina, Tennessee, Virginia and Wisconsin.

"The Bureau of Reclamation would have us believe that we must spend billions to develop projects like the Upper Colorado order to provide food and fiber for our growing population. "That simply is not true. On the presently producing farm ands we are growing so much and fiber that we cannot adequate space to store it. Despite plans for reducing this output, we are faced again this year with enormous surpluses, in products record yields. "Each year new methods are reported for increasing per acre yields.

"Yet the Bureau of Reclamation Congress appropriate billions 'of dollars for such unnecessary and wasteful projects as that-proposed in the Upper Colorado Basin. This project alone would 'saddle a new $4 Billion tax loss on the Nation's taxpayers. The four States benefiting would -pay' less than two percent of the cost.

There are problems and maladjustments, notably in certain branches of agriculture. But the over-all picture is-one of extraordinary material progress and the greatest in recorded history. The Secretary Treasuary, George has described, "what millions of Americans have been actually making of our economy." Our total production of goods and services is not far from $400,000,000,000 a works out to seven times the 1900 level after allowance is made for price rises. It is one of the.

utmost significance that the greatest share of this goes not to the wealthly, but to the people in the lower and middle income groups. Where, early in the century, only one family in 10 earned as much as $4,000 a year in terms of today's prices, now half our families earn more than $4,000. The fruits of this are found in statistics which are astonishing by any standard. At the turn of the century there were 14,000,000 life insurance policies in force in this there are 250, 000,000. In 1900 individuals had liquid savings of all types amounting to less than $10,000,000 the total exceeds $235, 000,000,000.

More than 15,000,000 Americans have over $30,000,000, 0000 invested in pension and retirement trust funds which didn't even exist in 1900. Close to 10 per cent of all our families today own stock in American corporations, while 55 per cent live in, homes of their own. What all this means, in Mr. Humphrey's phrase, is that "the basic interests of the man in overalls are today the same as the basic interests of the man in the business suit." He uses inflation as an example of that mutuality of interest. Between 1939 and 1953 inflation "stole' $478 out of each $1,000 of savings half.

It did that by cheapening the cutting its purchasing power, That brings up an ever-existing danger. It is commonplace to read political programs which propose tax reduction on the one hand and on the other, all manner of increased federal expenditures for social security, for schools and roads, for public housing, for public power development, and, so on and.so,on. How could.such programs, be put into effect? In only one running the government farther into debt through a series of Huge deficits. Then renewed inflation would follow as day follows night, and the people would be "robbed" of their savings again. No other results could be expected from a policy of taxing less while spending more.

And, along with the material losses, the individual would lose opportunity and price always exacted by governments which are reckless Congressman James I. Dolliver of Fort Dodge today announced; bis candidacy for reelection to the; United States r. House of Repre- sentatives from the Sixth Iowa District. Representative Dolliver will seek -the Republican nomination for the First elected in, 1944, Representative Doliiyer is completing his sixth two-year term. He is a member of the House Committee on Interstate and Foreign Commerce and served as one of five House members on.

the President's Commission on. Inter-governmental Relations. During his time in Congress Rep. Dolliver has been particularly interested in activities pertaining to agriculture, veterans' affairs, transportation, communications and public health, and has introduced numerous bills on these subjects. "It has been a real privilege to serve the people of -the 15 counties in the Sixth Congressional district," Congressman Dolliver stated in announcing his candidacy for another term.

"I hope that my record in Congress will earn their support in the coming elections and permit me to continue to work in their best interests." with the assets of the people, and insatiable in their drive for more and more power over the lives of all. It is far easier to build a system whicji. gives the masses of people freedom along with'material well- being than it is to maintain it. George S. Benson has pointed out that "When you look down through the pages of history, you will find the wrecks of 19 civilizations.

You will find that 'nowhere in the world at any one spot have people for many generations maintained a good government or a good economy." De- magbguery, special successful pressure privilege, a gradual wasting away of the principles of Individual freedom, responsibility and these were among the seeds whose crop was disaster. No nation has v-any natural right to freedom. 1 Freedom must be worked for everlastingly protected.
