Hudspeth And The F armer

CLAUDE B. HUDSPETH is either very ignorant of reca-
y nation he is deliberately attempting to hood
wink the voters of western Texas.
In copy of speech which he is circulating over the
district he asserts that he wants TO dam every stream in
his district where there is possibility Of securing water
for irrigation and asserts that this has been done the
Elephant Butte project at cost Of FOUR DOLLARS AN
ACRE TO THE LAND OWNERS. As matter Of fact the
cost to the land has been MORE THAN SEVENTY
DOLLARS AN ACRE and any man in FL Paso who knows
anything Of irrigation, knows this.
Either Mr. Hudspeth is attempting to get votes from
people by making them think he reclaim their land
for nearly nothing he is grossly ignorant Of this mat
Of many other needs and desires of the people Of
the 18th congressional district
Maybe he Just doesn't know for he showed his ignorance
Of irrigation matters When in addressing the Panhandle and
Southwestern Cattsmeus convention at Roswell in March,
he said he hoped day great dam built at Ros
well for the reclamation of lands there similar to the Ee
plant Butte project Mr.. Hudspeth should have known
that the people at Roswell had the first irrigation dam IN
the Southwes-he Hondo reservoir, built by the govern
mentand that failed because the bottom of the
v0ir porous and would not hold water
He should also have known that storage reservoirs
not necessary at Roswell because they irigate with
srtesan wells and drainage is their greatest problem
There many things about the Southwest and its
needs that Mr.. Hudspeh does not know deliberately
camouflages.

ALL WAR LABOR WILL
BE RECRUITED SOON
e. X. Sawyer of Franklin, N. H, Ap-
pointed to Have Charge of Work
in Vermont.

MONTPELIER, July 25.-E X. Saw
yer of Franklin, n. H., has opened the
campaign as a federal director of the
United States employment service and
in the last few DAYS has been sending
out a great deal of material connected
with the work that is to be done
through the efforts of those who are
associated with him in the work that
will be pushed in the next few weeks,
namely the recruiting of all war labor
which is in the hands of the employ
ment service. f. b. Densmore of Wash
ington, ID. c., has been appointed as di-
rector general of the work and has ap-
pointed the state directors, naming
Mr.. Sawyer as the man who will take
charge of the work in Vermont.
A representative of labor, Fred Suit
or of Barre, has been chosen as the
labor representative of the state board.
Mr.. Suitor has been in Washington at
tending a conference relative to the
work while a representative of the en-
ployers is to be named who will work
with the state director and Mr.. Sutton.
They will assist Mr.. Sawyer in the or
organizing of state advisory board
and with the state director of the pub
lie service reserve, r. w. Simonds, will
act as committee to inaugurate com
munity labor boards unless the work
is combined under the committees from
the public safety committee, as has been
done in other matters along similar
lines.
1t is the purpose of the employment
service to recruit local war industries
After August common labor will be
recruited through the efforts of the
above organizations exclusively. A cen.
tralized plan is to be extended to skilled
workers that the country may get the
best results out of the man-power OF
the nation during the war This will
end private competition and stabilize
conditions. Five places have been
named in Vermont, Barre, Burlington
Rutland, Bellows Falls and Montpelier
as recruiting stations. The matter is
also to be explained by the four-min
ute speakers and the details are being
sent to these from Washington.
