Banish the Speculator!
of the Washington congressional
delegation have united behind a bill designed to pre-
speculation in the
1,200,000 acres of land to
be reclaimed when the Columbia Basin irrigation
plan, last step of the Grand
Coulee project, is authorized.
The bill has been prepared to meet the desires of
President Roosevelt, who
has insisted that any taint
of private profiteering, at
the expense of the men and
women who will eventually
develop farms in this vast
empire, must be eliminated.
The President is DEAD
RIGHT.
The administration of
enormous relief and public
works funds, to date, has
been pleasingly free from
major scandal.
There must be no suspicion that a project of the
dimensions of Grand Coulee
might serve to line the
pockets of greedy speculators.
The time to end any such
menace is NOW.
