"After c'onference of the Colorado members which, lasted most of the Taylor took a letter signed by all six to tlio White house asking President Roosevelt to state what has been dpnn a $30,600,000 program of water projects for Colorado submitted to him three weeks ago, while Gov. Ed C. Johnson was in 'Washington. The president at that time told tlie Colbradpans that he would turn over the program, which includes some thirty projects, to tho reclamation bureau for study.

Dr. Eiwood Mead, director of the reclamation service, said Saturday he had' not received the Colorado list from the "White house. Taylor understands that the budget estimates for new reclamation proj ects, to bo sent to congress next week, will, total approximately 81 million dollars, of which only is to be- used in Colorado, to build additional canals on, the Grand valley "We leel that Colorado has not received its fair share of the money spent in the west in recent years for reclamation and water storage, in view of the proportion of water originating in ojir state and flowing into other states, which obtain the benefits from it," Taylor Saturday. is what we told the president on our visit to tlie White house while Governor Johnson was here, and wo have re- Iterated it in our letter." House leaders said that it Taylor carries out his threat, to keep the 81- million-dojlar item for the reclamation service out of the interior appropriations bilint be necessary to tack it onto the deficiency appropriation Mil, 'now being rewritten after filibustered to death at the last session by the late Huey P. Taylor also gave warning that tho.

reclamation item will experience difficulty in passing the houso because of eastern opposition, and intimated that he and other Colorado members may-aid the easterners If ho provision is made for Colorado projects. The. list of projects -the delegation asked has never been made public here, but it is that which was submitted to Washington by the state planning board' several months ago. On advice of State Engineer M. C.

Hindorlider, several deletions and additions were made. It indicated: that the Colorado members were not. willing to make the list of projects public until they had received some information on the probable attitude of the reclamation service toward the whole program. President Roosevelt was reliably reported to have told advisers that Colorado has fared very well in the distribution of federal public works and relief funds, which was taken in some quarters as an indication that he will reject the'request for budget approval of a new list of water projects for. tho state.

Nixon Tells Institute of (Continued from Page One) build. The plan offers security against drought. Wo do not yet understand the cycle of the droughts in the west. We may bo, entering a period when we will need Grand Lake water much more than now. "The Grand, Lake project is an historical one.

Every advance made in the survey by engineers indicates that the project is more practical than could previously be substantiated. "Plan calls for the using of Grand Lake itself, but tho lake will not be Injured in tho slightest. I am sure we are as interested in preserving tho beauty of Grand Lake and Rocky National park as "Below Grand Lake another artificial lake larger than Grand will be formed. Its waters will be level with the outlet of Grand Lake. Tunnel will take off from the surface of Grand Lake and this body of water will be maintained at constant level.

By the new lake adjacent to Grand the latter will bo increased to approximately three times its present size. Tho lake will act as nothing more than a conduit. "Farther south a dam will be thrown across the main Colorado river to make an enormous the Granby, that, can eventually be built up to hold. 400,000 acre feet. This would meaa a dam 290 feet high.

Water from this reservoir, which was formerly called the Hind No. 2 site, will be 150 feet below. Grand Lake. It would be possible to. bring water from the Frasier river into this reservoir, but this is not contemplated at- prosent.

"Present engineering indicates' it w.ill be much cheaper to raise the water from Granby reservoir by pump into Grand Lake. At first a four mile" tunnel contemplated. "Main tunnel thru the national park would be about 12 miles long. It Is cal- 8 million dollars; the Pino river reservoir, the Grand Lake'trans- mountain water diversion, 5 million dollars, and the Rio Grande storage reservoir, 4 and one-half million dollars. to carry about 500 second feet.

It' would discharge hear Estes" Park. "Recently the survey has shown that it is feasible to ttke out a diversion ditch on the south side of the Big Thompson in the vicinity of tho Love- laAd. power plant, run it onto the divide between the Big and Little Thompson-rivers and -into the Crater reservoir where there is now a natural bowl. Crater reservoir would hold about 143,000 acre feet, enough to insure a steady flow of water for irrigation and electric power. From Crater reservoir the water would flow easily to the Little Thompson or St.

Vrain or Big Thompson. "No other transmountaln irrigation project, in Colorado has such great possibilities for storage as has the Grand Lake, with the Granby, Grand Lake and Crater reservoirs. "New plan has been evolved by engineers the past two months for taking, the water out the north side of the Big Thompson, at a point further up than previously contemplated and running, a ditch west, of the first ridge of foothills to come out near Bellevue and into the Poudre Valley ditch. "On tho Poudre, Thompson and St. Vrain the water would be delivered above all the important reservoirs and ditches now in operation.

"The U. Reclamation- bureau has a large force on the job making the survey. "Tho Granby reservoir survey is nearly complete-and construction probably could start by June 1 if tho mou- becomes available. Ditches on the eastern slope could also be started about the same time, so tar as the survey is concerned. "As to the tunnel it has been decided, by geologists that there will probably not be a need for core drilling to prevent the actual construction of This will make it possible to be ready to start at an earlier date.

There is no question in my mind but that the tunnel wil Ibe found feasible. "Plan has been greatly aided by cooperation, of the governor, representatives in the state legislature, Congressman Fred our two Colorado senators and It-has of favorably by the president. "In regard to our chances for federal funds, let me point out that Colorado has gotten from public works funds $3.02 per capita for irrigation development. Wyoming has received 587 per Washington $25.40, Oregon $50.50, Arizona $15.90. "It is figured that the project would cost about $15,000,000, not including electrical This is estimated at" 55,000,000 more.

Electricity generated should not only be ample to raise the-water from Granby reservoir 150 feet to' Grand Lake, but should eventually pay for the entire project thru sales of power and light. "Plans contemplate that there will be a year's storage ahead at all times and ditch companies may call for wat- er'anytime of year they want it." Burger Explains Traffic Codo Farmer hauling his own produce to market in his own truck does not n'eed a public utilities commission permit and is not subject to the road tax of three mills per ton mile, the. institute was told Saturday by Frank A. Burger, district chief of the Colorado Courtesy patrol. No road tax is charged on beets and singular products which are being "hauled to the nearest market," by hired truckers at the time of, harvest- Otherwise, anyone hauling for ''hire or resale" must get a PUC permit and pay the road tax, vBurger said.

The farm truck must be equipped with special flares, fuses and other lighting equipment -use case of a stop oh the highway at night, the same as any other truck, however. In the case of hauling lambs to market, the- rule is that any livestock owned or fed 60 'days or more, may be hauled- by the farmer, exempt from the road tax. Extreme width of truck body allowed on the highway is 90 Inches. In, the case of baled hay the extreme width of the load may not exceed nine feet. For lose hay the limit of width of load is 12 feet.

School bus drivers must have a special chauffeurs' license, must be over 17 years of age and had at' one year of experience, as car operator. No child under 16 years of age, can get a license. A child betw.een. 16 and 17 years may get a permit, but must drive for GO days previous to Issuance In company with a licensed operator and the parent i guardian must sign to be responsible for all his acts until he reaches 17 years. Burger said that so far in the Greeley district there has never been an accident since the Motor Patrol came on duty in cases where flares and f'uzoes.

were properly used by trucks stopping on the road at night. THE GAY THIRTIES Trademark Regrlntercil V. S.

The resolutions follow: "The cooperation which this Farmers' Institute has received from all sources has been very gratifying, and as In the past has contributed to making this one of the outstanding agricultural events in the state, therefore, "We wish to thank the district judges who have from year to year so arranged their cases that the institute can have the use of the district court room.

"The pure seed show is an Important attraction adding as a demonstration, of tlie improvement being made in variety and production of crops. "It Is evident from the discussions relative to the Agricultural Adjustment Act of even those who oppose certain measures 'and favor others, that all programs for the improvement of agricultural prices either directly or indirectly having provisions for a controlled, produetipn or controlled marketing of crops whether marketed through cooperatives, milk, producers' associations, rest r'i-'c ted sales through'licensing or through-government processing and behests, are meeting with the approval of the farmers. 'Therefore we the Farmers" Institute believe that a.program followed of.

"Last and most Important of all, we heartily thank 'Speakers who have freely given of their time and know- iVdgeIn making tto Institute a great educational event. recommend that farmers in attendance pffer sugges'tlons at'any'tlme. for future Institutes as. in this way the' committee can plan a program that will be of most general-Interest."

"A few samples of the many departures from the ideal stated might be cited. Mr. Roosevelt said: 'I, the executive, established a new relationship between government and people. They were an 'appeal from the clamor of partisan interest to the ideal of public "The disregard "of the: non-partisan civil service and the horde of 250,000 spoils appointees seems to-leave something lacking in tho fruition of this idea.

"It just happened that the Ideal upon which our government was founded and has hitherto, conducted is that it is dangerous to the people to have any man possess such powers or to allow any man to thus aspire to personal government Instead of a government of law. The question" is'riot, that these powers, having been created and now in the "liahoV of tho good, transferred to the hands of the wicked, if the New Deal is not continued.
