The qualifications of any public
official are based on the knowledge
of the work he is to perform. 1t was
the intention of the members OF the
Legislature who passed the law two
years ago providing for a state board
of irrigation commissioners, that are
three men selected to fill these posi-
lions should have knowledge of the
needs of the farmers in western Kan
sas who depend upon irrigation to
produce their crops.
| Who IS better qualified to admins
ter this law and secure for the far
mers of that section every benefit
that can come from proper irrigation
Of the lands, than a man who has
lived forty years in western Kansas.
and who has spent twenty years of
that time travelling over all that re-
gion getting his information at the
grass roots2 II is this kind of first
hand information that is valuable
and that equips a man for rendering
to the state real and effective SER
vice
The voters at the recent primary
election nominated on the Republi-
can ticket three men that are fully
equipped for the important work be-
fore the state irrigation board. One
of these, Mr. D. B. Dyer of Smith
Center, is especially qualified by long
experience and observation to take
up this work and carry it forward.
for he is probably more familiar with
conditions in the western half of
the state than any other candidate.
This due to the fact that for twenty
years he travelled over that section
familiarizing himself with the needs
of the farmers on the semi arid lands.
All voters, whether they live in
eastern. or western Kansas, are in
terested in electing men for the,
state irrigation board who are equip
ped by experience and observation
for the important work outlined in
the new law.
D. b. Dyer fully meets that require
ment- His long residence in the
state and his knowledge of conditions
in its western third ought to, and
will, secure for him large vote in
November. Mr.. Dyer's vote will
come from all parties because of his
fitness and qualifications = Smith

Following his vote for the secret
caucus and the free trade measure
that put corn. wheat and other agri-

has further increased ~ his constit-
uent's love for him by voting to place
a s'war tax" of 2 cents gallon on
gasoline and l cent on every tele
phone message. This WAR tax" sub
ject has come to be joke with well
informed people in Kansas why"
they are asking, 1.-THE necessity of
war tax when the country is at
peace with the whole world?" They
understand that it is only new way
the Democratic leaders have taken to
make up the immense deficit caused
by the free trade policy, and that the
tax on gasoline and telephone mes
sages is going direct into the peoples
pockets for the money TO make good
the incompetency of governmental
policies put in force by the party
now in power. Mr.. Connolly may be
able TO explain to his constituents
how this tax will benefit them, but
MANY doubt it.
