HEADED IN THE RIGHT DIREC-
TON ts

i VI D.
The nearly unanimous vote of last
Saturday upon the proposition Of the
formation Of the south side irriga-
ton district has put more spirit into
the community than anything that
has happened in many day. II Is
believed that irrigation through the
district organization win more fuIiy
meet the needs Of southern Oregon
than any other plan. BY 1t each bears
its just proportion of the cost, and
the benefits are propoftionateiy dis
tribute. The bringing Of this large
body OF land under the ditch will
mean that II must be developed and
farmed. for ownership OF lands un-
der the ditch viii not be profitable
unless development follows.
The directors elected for the south
side project are all men who have
a direct interest in getting the work
under headway at the earliest pos
sible date. They are also men who
are experienced in irrigation condi-
tions, and the district can be assured
that 1t will get the best service from
them. As soon as the survey is CON-
pleted and the plan has received the
approval Of the state engineer. work
can proceed. 1t is expected that the
farmers themselves can do much OF
this work.
That there is splendid spirit oi
progress in the community is proved
by the unanimity with which pro,
jects for the development Of the com
munfty are supported. Tne irr1eatior
district received an to 1 vote, ant

tions for stock in the new compan!

SOUTH AMERICA AND THE MON
ROE DOCTRINE

ROE DOCTRINE
Frank belief that the extension by
America of the Monroe doctrine pol
icy TO all nations as suggested by
President Wilson's senate speech
would cause that doctrine to lose Its
American force and character, was
expressed in signed editorial by
Jorge Mitre, editor OF La Nacion,
South Americas leading newspaper.
Mitre Is recognized as one OF the
most brilliant OF South American an
alysists and publicists.
THE threatened hypertropy Of the
Monroe doctrine is not new" Mitre
declared, "but has hitherto lacked
authoritative sanction. In the past
the tendency OF the doctrine has been
10 maintain and strengthen the dem
ocracy Of the Americas. by keeping
them apart from the ambitions OF
European powers. Because II has
been concretely based on a geograph-
icai fact, God knows how many APP
petites II has thwarted. A re-alllance
could not have been more effective.
