CALL FOR PROMPT ACTION
Urges Speeding Up of Organization
to Obtain Deep Drainage and Loans
From Federal Banks

There is an old saying, THAT op-
portunity knocks at the door of ev-
cry man at least once" The same
saying applies equally to a commun-
ity. Our opportunity is not coming
it is here now. 1t is within our
grasp; all we have to do is to hold
out our hands and grasp 1t and set
back and hold on tight. The key
note to success is united action, con
eerted power and organized effort.
The greatest enemy is indifference,
lack of faith and confidence in your
selves, doubt of the good motives
and intentions of your neighbor, as
suming the attitude of the chronic
knocker.
Let us review our resources,
bearing in mind that united effort
always achieves the greatest gain.
What is impossible to do by indi-
vidual effort is easily accomplishe ed
with a united front and in the
words of the immortal Webster:
United we stand, divided we fall.
without procrastination or delay
we should organize our Irrigation
District at once with enthusiastic
haste. What has been done were
only preliminary steps, our course
has been marked out; the objection
able features have been removed.
Now let's get busy.
Why now? Because we have a
local representative in the Farm
Loan Bank, who stands ready and
anxious to guarantee loans to all
Hometseaders on their land al per
cent interest as soon as the present
disability is removed through the
organization Of the District under
the State law. Not at some indeh-
mite time In the future but now, at
once. Because the success of the
Beet Sugar Factory is assured and
now Is the time TO take advantage
of the benefcient results that are
certain to follow. These results
can only be obtained through the
proper Drainage of our lands. Be-
cause drainage can only be secured
In this manner. No other way Is
possible at this time.
Because the Reclamation Service
stands ready and willing to cooper
ate with us and are as anxious for
us to succeed as the most optimistic
land owner and water user.
Because we will run our own af-
fairs under our own State laws made
to At our own peculiar conditions
and subject to amendment ct any
time experience shall prove a change
advisable.
Because the outside districts are
watching us with undivided interest
and will rush to our aid and adver-
tise our resources, without solicita-
tion or whenever our success is as
sured. Nothing succeeds like sue
cess. We wont have to go out for
the things we need. They will come
to us.
Shall we lie down and let this OPP
portunity pass, a thousands times
no. let's sit up and do something
and do IL now.

REGULAR ENLISTMENTS

Recruiting Officers Say District Home
Guard Duty Is Deterrent.

The wall OF National Guard recruit
Ing ofncers hoated over the District

In long-drawn chorus yesterday. The
day had failed to bring forth single
enlistment, II was said, ana only four
applicants had been sent to Fort Myer
for physical examination. Two Of
these were not expected TO pass the
test.
"Everybodys joining the army or
navy, or else they're waiting for con-
scription," complained one OF the nom
commissioned ofieers assigned to Lieut..
Robert s, Boyd's militia recruiting
squad. They think by Joining the
Guard, they'll have to stand out on
the Conduit road all night and watch
for providers. Each one seems to
think he will have a better chance in
the army and navy, where there's some
chance Of getting an out-of-town trip,
even IL they see no real warfare"
I'VE haven't any idea where we'll
eventually be sent, but we're pretty
sure we're not going TO stick in Wash
ington for the rest or the war. guard

think that when they enlist In the
Guard. they'll have to serve a full
three-yesr term, whereas they will get
out of the army or navy as soon as
the war Is over. Tell 'em we've got q
war term. too, in the National Guard,

BUSINESS MEN TOPASS
ON WAR FINANCE Plan
National Chamber of Commerce Puts
Issue to Referendum. Vote.

The universal sentiment Of the bus
mess men throughout the country
Is that a few should not be permitted
to profit greatly by the war at the
expense OF many. Industry, owing to
large profits secured during the last
two years, is in an uncommonly
strong position and able to bear its
full taxation. ~
These are expressions raKen from
ing the war OF the chamber OF Com
mercs of the United States. They
will go forth in a referendum to the
business men Of the country in an ef-
fort to ascertain sentiment with re-
gard to the proper methods OF raIs-
Ing war revenues.
'The burden Of taxation can be made
lighter for all citizens IL II Is clsrly
understood that waste and extrava-
ssnee, undesirable at all times. tend
in war time to increase seriously the
cost OF the war;" the report of the
committee goes on. War borrowing
leads to extravagance; war taxation
leads to economy. Through war tax
alton a direct and immediate check
can be placed on extravaganza In in
dividual consumption. This sets free
labor and capital for the production

reduce the cost of such supplies to the
government. which in turn reduces the
taxation necessary"
Modern warfare is extremely cost
ly," the committee report concludes,
and in order to meet any apprecia-
BILE portion Of the expenses during
its progress heavy taxation must
necessarily be imposed. In European
countries it is now generally admitted
that far heavier taxes should have
been imposed at an earlier stage of
the war. The recommendations OF the
committee in this report are the re-
suit of careful study of the ex-
perience Of our own people in previ-
Gus emergencies. and particularly of
the very recent experience of other
countries. The old adage about a wise
man applies equally to an entire na-
tion--a wise people profits by its own
experience and by that Of other pso-
