Senator Cameron Will Get $669,000 Relief for Farmers of this Valley
At a rally held in the Roosevelt Neighborhood House south of the city, United States Senator Ralph H. Cameron said he had assured deferment of this year's payment owed by farmers of the Salt River valley irrigation project to the federal reclamation fund, extending it for one year without interest or other expense as relief for the depressed cotton market and other unfavorable agricultural conditions. He cited the passage of the San Carlos bill for the Coolidge dam across the Gila river and a reimbursement made to Yuma valley farmers as proof he could keep his word, and criticised the campaign of his opponent, Hayden, as one filled with phrases saying a thing cannot be done.
A United States senator tells a rally that farmers of the Salt River valley irrigation project may put off this year's payment to the federal reclamation fund.
Deferment of this year's payment of $669,000 due by the farmers of the Salt River valley irrigation project to the federal reclamation fund was assured by United States Senator Ralph H. Cameron last week at a Cameron rally held in the Roosevelt Neighborhood House south of the city. Senator Cameron promised the postponement of the annual payment as a relief measure for the present depressed cotton market and other unfavorable agricultural conditions. The senator said that the payment would be extended for a period of one year without interest or other expense to the farmers. He explained that the relief would amount to the removal of an assessment of about $2.80 an acre.
Senator Cameron gave the farmers his word that he would continue to work for their interests when he returned to the United States Senate as he felt that to be one of his major duties inasmuch as Arizona was in great part an agricultural state. As proof of his ability to make good his word Senator Cameron called attention to his success in getting the San Carlos bill passed for the building of the great Coolidge dam across the Gila river for irrigation of thousands of acres of arid lands in the Florence-Casa Grande valley. He also pointed to his achievement in having a reimbursement of more than $3,-000,000 made to the Yuma valley farmers.
The senator then proceeded to severely criticise the campaign of his opponent in the race for the seat in the upper house of the national congress. He charged that Hayden was conducting what may be called a "can't" campaign. "My opponent's campaign is filled with nothing but 'It can't be done' phrases," he declared.
"Of course it can't be done," he con-
