have to be suspended for lack of
funds with which to carry it on.
There will be no possibility Of inaug-
urating any new construction work
as no money will have been provided,
therefore during each short construc-
ton period in the northern and north
western states, there will always be
the danger of the entire stopping of
work in the middle of the construc-
ton season, and time lost during the
very part of this season when the
work must be pushed in order to eco
nomically handle it.
ct is readily seen that no plans
can be made for the carrying on of
the work of the reclamation service
on an economical or satisfactory basis
under such methods. No contracts
can be let which will involve the
payment for work during the next
fiscal year after that for which the
contract is made. 1t will therefore
be impossible to so plan reclamation
work as to economically and orderly
carry out piece of work which of
necessity will last over a number of
years. Very few of our projects are
so physically constituted that the
work on each feature can be COM
pleted during any one year without a
very uneconomical handling of the
work itself, and such a method is
sure to delay the completion of the
project as whole from fifty to one
hundred per cent. 1t is also sure to
reduce the efficiency of the working
force and consequently increase the
cost of the work itself the same per
cent.
LaFOllette Inexcusable
when Mr.. LaFollette voted for
this amendment he did not do so in
the interests Of the great number of
people who live on reclamation pro-
jects and who are likely to live on
such projects in the state of Wash
ington, and elsewhere in the west.
When people have sufficient conf
dence in man to send him to Wash
ington as their representative, this
man certainly should represent his
own district faithfully, and at the
same time stand for the best inter-
ests of the United States in general.
Ignorance cannot be plead as an ex-
cuse for a man who has spent four
years in the halls of congress. The
"pork barrel" is one Of the most vi
cious institutions that has taken a
place in our national government,
and every possible effort should be
made by our national legislators to
prevent the creation of new "pork
barrels" The tendency should be
more and more toward the creation
of non-partisan commissions COM
posed of scientifically trained men
appointed for term of years who
would have no other business than the
careful and thoughtful solution of the
problems turned over to them. You
read about the "pork barrel" every
day, but do you really know what It
is? It will be worth your while to
investigate"

Nothing to Gain.
THIS is the verdict of the
! BUYlNG.AT-hOME LEAGUE, of
Spokane, Washington, after care
full consideration of the act for
Statewide Prohibition, to be Sub
mltted to the voters of the State
OF Washington at the coming
General Election on November S
1914.
In a recent statement, after
quoting the sections of the pro-
posed act, which prohibits the sale
or manufacture of intoxicating
liquors within the State of Wash
ington, but provides for shipping
intoxicating liquor from other
States direct to the consumer, the
League says:
It is not the intention of this League to go into
the merits demerits discuss or take sides one
way or the other on the prohibition question, but
it can readily be seen from the quotations above
cited from the act to be voted by the people
of this state and the Inland Empire at the coming
election, that there is no issue of morals tenn
perance involved. After careful and dispasson-
ate consideration of the proposed act this League
has reached the only logical conclusion to be reached
from a consideration of the act, namely That as
prohibition measure it is FAKE, and that the
only question to be voted by the people is
whether any person twenty-one years of age
shall buy his liquor manufactured and sold to him
within the State of Washington, must he pro-
cure permit every twenty days and buy his liquor
without the State of Washington, from manu-
facturer who contributes nothing to our state
the cities therein?
Inasmuch as this act legitimzes the purchase
for consumption every twenty days by each and
every man or woman of the State of Washington
over the age of twenty -one years. of an amount
of liquor either spirituous or malt, far in excess
of the ordinary requirements of any moderately
temperate person, and in an amount equal to more
than double the per capita consumption in the
United States, making practically the sole condi-
ton of such purchase that the liquor must not be
manufactured or purchased within the state, but
must be bought from without the state, this League
feels that the act is aimed directly at the purpose
for which this League was formed.
If this League believed that the question to
be submitted to the people at the coming election
was one of temperance or prohibition this League
would feel that it going entirely beyond the
scope of it's purpose, to stand one way or the other
but believing that the only question involved is
the question of buying at home or away from home,
this League feels that the very purposes for which
it was formed have been assailed, and that it is
directly within the line of it's purposes to present
this matter at this time to it's patrons and the
general public.
This League, therefore, warns it's patrons that
the proposed act in way prohibits the use or con-
sumption in the home elsewhere in the State OF
Washington, but merely requires the consumer to
buy his liquor from without the State of Washing
tom and advises it's patrons and friends to register
and vote against the act.

Mr.. Fels aphorism is very true In the
sense In which he means II, and true in
a thousand other senses besides.
1t is very difficult ror anyone who
has not experienced any given form of
discomfort to sense that discomfort and
realize that other people feel 1t. The
well-fed man may know, as an abb
stract proposition, that other people
are hungry. hut he does not sense 1t
as an actual, painful fact.
