State Reclamation Bill
 A Very Important One

[ luS OOlOIG luO NOCGTS Ol ATlZOQc
 on November 3rd, and one which is worthy of the support
 of every voter, is the State Reclamation Bill which will be
 found on pages 30 to 36, in.
 elusive, of the Publicity Pamph.
 let now being sent out by the
 Secretary of state to every voter.
 On pages 37 and 38 will be found
 an argument in favor of the bill
 which should be carefully read 1 by every one.
 1 Briefly, the bill provides for
 State assistance in the reclama-
 ton of the arid lands of the
 State, and is modelled some
 what after the National Reclama-
 tion Service.
 The plan fully worked out
 means more, not only for the
 development of Arizona, but of
 the entire West, than any other
 measure brought before the peo- pie of late } ears. It is equal in importance to the National Re
 clamation Service. It means
 that if the State of Arizona
 works out the plan successfully all the other Western states
 will follow the same plan, and there will be wonderful develop ment throughout the West.
 The measure IS state wide in its scope, any section can gain the benefits of the bill, and each step is carefully set forth in the bill:
 Any section desiring state assistance will make prima facie, showing as to the feasi- bllity of it's undertaking to the State Reclamation Commission. which is provided for in the bill: the Commission if satisfied that the project is a good one will have a Reclamation Engineer make careful investigation of the project. If the results of the investigation by the Re clamation Engineer are satis- factory, and the project feasible in every way. the Commission, may then loan the section the necessary funds to put in their works. All work on the project will be done by the people, but at all times will be under the supervision of the Reclamation Commission to see that the funds are economically expended, and that the works are properly con- structed, The benefits to the State under this bill will be wonderful.
 Arizona, it is estimated. has nearly five million acres of land that can be reclaimed by irriga- tion, and under the provisions of this bill it will be possible to | reclaim it, otherwise it will re- main a desert for years to come. as we have had more than our share of the National Reclama- tion Funds. and it will be years before more national funds are available for irrigation work here.
 It requires no expert to figure the tremendous increase Tn tax able wealth and population that would insue as a result of the adoption of a State Reclamation policy carefully worked out. All of the increase in wealth and population would come without 3 cent of additional taxes to the people of Arizona, as the lands benefited pay back to the State every cent advanced for putting n the proJect, with interest at Iix percent. As the State can , borrow money on it's bonds for I lbout four percent the difference F n interest paid by the State. md that received from lands borrowing the money, would be Juficient not only to pay the ex- ,oneo of r,1nnino fha PocIonno.

| ligent and wide-awake electorate
is accomplished without difficulty
when apathy and indifference
reign everywhere. And yet
most of these "stay-at- homers'
will give as an excuse for their
indifference the "corruptness of
politics..
Not only in national affairs are
the evils of this condition felt.
A community so afflicted feels it
in countless ways in purely local
affairs. For instance, if the en-
tire vote of Roanoke Rapids
Township were polled at the
next presidential election, we
would send a delegation from
Roanoke Rapids to Halifax large
enough to put Roanoke Rapids
on the political map of this county.
1t would give us, by all odds, the
largest influence in the handling
of county affairs. 1t would in
sure our getting one of the coun-
ty offices. 1t would bring pres
tige to this community in count
less ways and the respect of those
of our fellow townships who are
a''salert and ambitious in political
affairs as we are sluggish and
indifferent.
1t if neither the ring" nor
the scheming of politicians, but
the indifference of our own vot-
ers that is directly responsible
for this community's political i'm
potence.

Duty and Politics

When the people of this COM
munity get sufficiently interested
in the affairs of their government
to go to the polls on election day,
then, and not until then, will this
community receive its proper
tionate share of the county offices
and obtain consideration for its
wishes and sentiments in the
management of the affairs of the
county,
Probably in no other commune
ty in North Carolina is there so
little attention paid to politics,
While aggressive and vigorous
enough along commercial lines,
we are deplorably lacking in a
proper interest in the affairs of
county, State or nation. And we
are the losers, and the only losers,
by this Indifference.
This community has probably
one thousand white citizens eligi-
BILE to vote. In the recent bond
issue election, an election of pure
ly local interest and one in which
every citizen should have been
vitality interested, only four hun
dred and eleven voters qualified
and out of that number about
three hundred voted.
Thirty per cent of us have inter
est enough even in the education
al affairs of our own community
to go to the polls and vote.
Quite an excellent showing!
Roanoke Rapids Township is
entitled to one delegate to the
Democratic County Convention
for every twenty five Democratic
votes, or fraction Thereof, cast in
the last presidential election.
This gives US twelve delegates.
If we voted our full strength, we
would have about forty.
1t is the duty, and the sacred
duty, Of every citizen to go to
the polls and vote according to
his own convictions for the well
fare of his community and him
self. Those of us who through |
carelessness or indifference do not
take enough interest in the COM
munal welfare to spend five min
utes on election day voting for
what they consider to vb the best
interests of their community, are
unworthy of citizenship. AS far
as they are concerned this repub-
lie is a failure. For what they
are lazily and indifferently refus-
ing to do, men in other lands are
plotting, scheming, risking i'm
,risonment and death to be al |
owed to do.
These Indifferent, stay at home 8
,itizens, are to blame for the cor
upton in present day politics. !
Their indifference makes it easy a
or political rings to organize and
or political deals to be pulled
if. What would not even be at I

months ending last January, just

comfortable sum of So, 750, 900.
This not only shows that the At

share of the business in the
South, it also shows that road

Work for the Board Of Trade

The Board of Trade Of Roanoke
Rapids Township has made 6
good start. 1t is organized and
ready for business and fresh op-
portunities for its efforts arise
every day.
Right now, the matter of the
Atlantic Coast Lines conSidera.
ton of the proposition to push a
spur track from Weldon into
this community is uppermost,
and the most important work for
the Board of Trade is to keep
everlastingly after the Coast Line
and press the cause of this COM
munity with them.
Next in Importance comes the
attempt to get the Seaboard Air
! Line to relocate its tracks so that
a passenger station may be OBJ
tanned in the only logical place
for one: i.e., between the towns.
This will probably not be difficult
| if the Atlantic Coast Line does
decide to open up this territory;
competition will be a wonderful
help.
Then comes the work of stir
ring up this community to a
realization of what they are los
ing by their Indifference in poll
teal matters, the advertising OF
the advantages this community
has to ofer manufacturing enter
prises free building sites and
cheap power, and the advantage
to be obtained here by hosts OF
other small enterprises of which
we have long stood in need.
We need an ice plant, a brick
yard, a steam laundry, a wood
working establishment, a tele-
graph office and an express office
(the last two being located in
reach of the people instead of at
Roanoke Junction and Weldon)
Sunday telephone service, etc..
almost without end. There real
ly doesn't seem to be the slight
est bit of danger that the Board
of Trade of Roanoke Rapids
Township will run out OF a Job
anytime in the near futurel
To do these things the Board
of Trade must have the co-opera-
ton of the majority of the public
spirited citizens of the communi-
ty. We have made our slogan
this week: Join the Board of
Trade of Roanoke Rapids Town
ship" This Board of Trade
should have 500 members. 1t
should have the influence, the
membership, and the unstinted
effort of every citizen of the COM
munity.
Cooperation means strength,
conservation of energy, results.
The idea has been tried out and
found good in every community
of any size in the United States.
Let us see what cooperation can
do for this community.
Help others and get helped
Yourself" is the keynote Of mod
ern civilization and the Board of
Trade is simply an expression of
in concrete form.

The only way to stop meanness:
If you want to stop people from

that are not will not start as they
have too much sense to try it.
