The twice-a-week Twin Falls times. (Twin Falls, Idaho) 1916-1918, 1917-04-05
THE PROBLEMS WE FACE

The real problems faced by the
United States in the present moment,
in connection with the European sit
uation, is strongly, but accurately set
forth in Worlds Work" as follows:
THAT the nation shall under
God, have a new birth of freedom,
and that government of the peo-
pie, by the people, for the people
shall not perish from the earth
These last words of the Gettys-
burg speech described the great cause
for which Lincoln sent armies into
the field to fight. Yet these words do
not describe the problem he faced
then any better, if as we'll, as they
picture the question which we face
now. The Confederacy had no 'kul-
ter resigned TO drive democracy off
the earth. 1t wished to maintain slav-
cry, but had no dreams of a slave SUI
per state. Nevertheless, despite its
lesser menace, if the confederacy had
won the greatest experiment in de-
mocracy would have been broken in
two. The greater present menace is
that, if Germany should win, every
powerful democracy except our own
would be Immediately dominated by
the most thoroughgoing enemy of pop
ular government in the world, and in
the final struggle for democracy we
should be left nearly alone to conduct
the fight against overwhelming Odds

1t is a keen pleasure to express my
personal appreciation of the loyal

they, and the city with them, have a
right to be proud Of
The members of the council, who

these controversies may lead to moth

drive of necessity. In any event, the

the committee as it stands for rea-
sons which I have stated elsewhere,
but this may be because the commit
tee did not set forth fully just what
they had in their minds.
However, the effect of the commit
tees report, unless the people of the
city who are. after all. the most in
terested, take an active interest of
what is doing and to be done and
gain a clear understanding of what
the plan now before them contem-
plates, will be to defeat the proposed
bond issue This means that moth
ing will be done, except such repairs
and extensions as necessity forces,
and that all the controversies as to

its of his plan, the parts of the city
to be visited with the improved SER
vice and those to be left with the
present service, Blue Lakes and
Clear Lakes and the hopes of their
hackers will be again presented, and
more delay ensue. This may result
in nothing being done, for there is
no more assurance of bond issue
carrying under the proposal of the
committee when il is finally worked
out in detail, than there is of the
present issue being carried.
The committees reasons for re-
jecting Mr. Kelsey's plans are not
as I understand their report, that the
plan is not sufficient. complete from
an engineering standpoint, or if in
stalled would not give the city very
excellent water system Neither dc
they present any reason, if any exist
why the present plan could not be
constructed by the unit system,

principal objection seems to be thai
it contemplates too much.

amount proposed, it is not necessary
