to postpone the drainage until aft
er the war, will you see that it is
done? I'm
Is it not a fact that the president,
in his message, asked that all public
and private work not absolutely es-
sential be postponed until after the
war? This is one which is not need
ed at all.
We know that if Secretary of the
Treasury McAdoo knew of the fact
that this half million dollars or more
was being spent unnecessarily he
would have it stopped Immediately un-
til after the war.
When the whole nation is working
to economize and conserve and buying
bonds to help win the war, it seems
worse than foolish for the U. S. R. S.
to spend half million dollars or
more for something absolutely un-
necessary. William G. McAoo has
wisely stopped the building of a $780,
90 postoffice, which the people want,
at Vinton, Ia, until after the war,
and here the U. S. R. S. are spend
ing half million dollars or more
for an unnecessary draining ditch
which the people do not want and
which will always be burden and ex-
pense.
Please give this your careful con-
sideration and let me hear from you
at once about circulating a. petition
or stop the digging and pumping of
the ground water.

OPPOSITION To
DAVIS DRAINAGE
PLANS At YUMA
One Of the Heads of the Water Users
Association Charges Reclamation
Service With Trying to Drain the
Underground Waters of the Colo
RADIO River.

The following letter gives the gist
of the opposition to Director A. p.
Davis plans for drainage at TUNA:
Yuma, Ariz., April 26, 19lS.-Hon.
Franklin X. Lane, Secretary of the
Interior, Washington, ID. C.-Dear
Sir: Your letter of March IA at hand
in which you mention the report of
the Arizona Sentinel concerning the
meeting with the board of engineers
and mention the fact that | differ
radically with them, but want to
say that I do not differ with the rs
farmers who were present and who
strenuously protested against the
drainage of the ground water.
| want to state that the report was
false in saying that it was unanimous
ly agreed for the drainage system to
go on, and can be proved by every
one who was at the meeting.
We did not expect a fair report
from a board of engineers controlled
by Mr.. Schlect.
Chief Engineer Davis, of course,
does not want to own up to their
mistake of trying to drain the ground
water of the Yuma Valley, as this
ground water is a flowing stream
and its height is controlled by the
height of the Colorado river. II does
not seem possible that the United
States should want to place a burden
on the farmers of the Yuma valley
by opening up the ground water. eaus-
ing it to flow to the lower end Of the
valley, to be pumped over the levee
for all time TO come, when they must
know if they leave it alone it will
take care of itself and flow under the
'evee as it has for hundreds of years.
There is not an acre of land in the
valley that is seeping or threatening
to seep from the water used for irri-
cation. .
Six of us have measured the ground
water and find it just as low as il has
been for the last fifteen years. ex-
cept in the vicinity of the weir dam
in the Colorado river and where the
surplus water is dumped in the la
goons by the ". S. r. S.
My dear secretary. wish to remind
you of the letter from Chief Engineer
Davis to Congressman Carl Hayden.
stating that there were 5000 acres
water-logged and the crops lost in the
Yuma valley. This is false and un-
true and they were unable to show me
one acre that was waterlogged. Mr..
'chlect, at the same meeting, made a
statement to the board of engineers
that the Colorado river raises the
ground water at every overflow am
hat it does not go back to its natural
evel. This is not believed by any one
in the valley, even the old settlers
who have watched this thing for 40
years.
The photograph at the head of this
article will show you the great waste
If land. 1t is fully rods wide and
IS miles long. Two hundred acres
will be ruined to reclaim less than
fifteen, and cost half a million dol
ars or more. Every word of this can

My dear secretary, would you not
,all this incompetency?
All we ask of you is to keep this
great burden off our shoulders and
give us square deal ..-

tackled the federal trade commission In
"a speech in the house for its recent
report on the packing industry, He
charged that the packing investigation
had for its chief object the making of
senatorial candidates of commission
members. and urged that present mem
bers of the commission should be re-
moved from Office or the commission
itself abolished. The Chicago con
gresham defended me big packers
and praised them for the good they
have accomplished.
Mr.. Madden called attention to the
fact that one of the commission mem
bers, Mr.. Davies, was a candidate In
Wisconsin; that Mr.. Harris. another
member, is now seeking the senator
ship in Georgia, and that the former
counsel, Francis J. Heney, is running
for the governorship Of California.

UNITED STATES
DRY NEXT JULY
President Asks Legislation Pend
ing in Senate Be Extended
Until After January !.
'DRYS' AGREE TO THE DELAY
Senator Sheppard Declares Wilson
Does Not Object to Action by Con-
press, but Discussed Extending
Date of Restrictions.

Washington, Aug. 2S.-President
Wilson, senate prohibition leaders de-
clared on Monday, is not opposed to
legislation pending in the senate pro-
posing national prohibition during the
war, but has suggested that the pro-
posed time for its becoming effective
January l next-be extended. Nego-
tiations to that end, il was SAID
seemed to assure an agreement LOT
the passage of the bill, and also for
some extension of time TO liquor IN
terests.
Later, after much cloakroom nego-
tiation, leaders said the prohibition
supporters had agreed to fix July L
next as the date when prohibition
would become effective. Although
some of the bill's opponents were de-
manding u longer extension, represent
atives of both factions said 1t ap-
peared probable that July nnahy
would be agreed to.
Senator Sheppard of Texas, mana
ger of the prohibition bill. stated, FOL
lowing a recent conference at the
White House, that the president did
not object to action by congress on
the legislation, but discussed extend
ing the effective date of the restric-
lions. July 1, 1919, was the new date
suggested.
According to Senator Sheppard. the
bills opponents coneede its passage
and the only question at issue now is
the time when it will become effective.
The new date. it was said, would
not interfere with government revenue
collections on liquor for the fiscal year
and thus avoid redrafting the war rev.
enue bill. which is based on estimated
returns of about $9OO,OO00O0 from in
tOxicants.

1916 DRAFT BILL
PASSES SENATE
Measure Approved by Upper
Body Without Dissent
ing Vote.
HAS WORK OR FIGHT CLAUSE
Amendment NulIifies Exemption Grant
ed TO Essential Workers If They
Strike Without Submitting Dis
pute to Labor Board.

Washington, Aug. 29.-The man.
power bill bringing within the army
draft ali men from eighteen to forty
five years old was passed by the SEN
ate on Tuesday, with modified work
or-fight clause. The senate was re-
corded unanimously for the bill. All
efforts to change the age limits or 10
direct separate classification of youths
under twenty-One failed. and the meas
ure now goes to conference between
the house and senate with no differ
enee for serious controversy except the
work-or-fght provision.
The only important amendment m
the senate bill is the Thomas-Reed
antistrike proposal. BY vote Of AZ
to 20 the senate rejected a motion
made by Senator Mcclellan of Tennes-
see TO strike the amendment from the
bill. The amendment utilities exemp-
ton granted to essential workers If
they strike. Before adopting 1t finally,
however, the senate agreed to the pro-
viso offered by Senator Cummins of
Iowa making the amendment inopera-
tive If the strikers agree to submit
their dispute to the war labor board.
Amendments designed to restrain
the war department In any manner In
the drafting of men under twenty-one
years of age were rejected in rapid
succession. most of them without even
a roll call. The main @est of strength
was IN = proposal bv Senator Poin-
dexter of Washington Il make nine
teen years the minimum drait Sge.
This was defeated by a vote of 81
to 81.
AS the situation stands today moth
ing seems likely TO stand in the way
of the war departments intention of
fixing September to I as the date of
registration of the men made subject
TO the draft under the new bin. There
is every likelihood that the measure
will be ready for President Wilson's
signature before the end of the week.

MILLION LAB0RERS WANTED
Serious Shortage of UnskiIled Work
ers for War Industries Is Put
Up to the States.

Washington, Aug. 26.-At least one
million unskilled laborers must be pro-
vided for war Industries at once. no
matter what happens to private bust
ness.
That is the emphatic message sent
out by the United States employment
service to all the states. Every state
has been notified of the quota of men
IT is called on to supply, some of
whom will be put to work at home,
and others sent away, as the cOndi-
tions demand. These laborers are not
to be taken from other war industries
or from farms, railroads or mines.
The condition is decidedly serious,
and If the shortage is not met prompt
ly our new G-my will be faced with
additional Instances Of lack of equip
ment, such rs became apparent last
winter in the cantonments and camps.
The new expansion of the army draft
is going to cause a tremendous in
crease in the need for supplies of all
sorts, and a consequent great increase
In the demand for labor TO make these
supplies. The present shortage of labor
became apparent when the federal en-
ployment service put a stop to the
practice of stealing" labor from one
plant by another.
While the call now sent out Is for
labor class I'd as unskilled. there is an
almost equally grave lack of skilled
workers in war Industries. An instance
of this has arisen In Georgia. That
state has been notified that unless it
can supply 5000 laborers at once for
the SS,0OO,000 picric acid plant at
Brunswick, the entire construction
force there will be laid off and the
plant moved out of Georgia.
