POLICE: ARE:
REL.. E:ASE[);;
NEW MEN
SOUGHT
lBy Associated Press)

BOSTON, Sept. BIT is to be a
finish fight in this city between the
striking policemen and Police Com
missioner Curtis and Governor Coo
lidge.
Commission Curtis today ruled that
the offices left by the striking police
men were vacant. He asserted that new
men will be recruited as soon as pos
sible. The request of Samuel Gompers
that the striking police be reinstated
was curtly refused.
Police Commissioner Curtis made
his attitude known to the general pub
lie this morning. His position has been
endorsed by Governor Coolidge. All
attempts to effect a compromise be-
tween the two parties have been Com
pletely defeated.
A general strike is threatened but
there is said to be strong differences
among the unions as to its advisable
ity. Some of them will vote this even
ing on the question.
The authorities have taken steps TO-
meet the worst possible situation. Fed
eral troops are available to reinforce
the state guard, hundreds of volunteers
and loval police. The city is generally
quiet.

TACOMA, Wash, Sept. 13.-Presi-
dent Wilson read to his audience here
part of his address to congress asking
for declaration of war against Ger
many. He declared the purpose there
outlined had not been fulfilled, and
would not be fulfilled until the treaty
is ratified.
He said that in that address he ask
ed complete freedom from autocracy
and for guarantees of liberty every
where. That program should be adopt
ed without respect to party, he said,
and added that it was now proposed
in some quarters to abandon it. He
asked if the people wanted to abandon
it and there were cries of 'No. No."
from the crowd and many cheers.
Before his principal address at the
armory President Wilson spoke brief
y at the stadium, which was almost
filled to its capacity Of $4,000. There
We're thousands of school children pres
ent, and the President said he was
grateful to the children for coming to
see him. He said he believed the de-
cisions now being made affected the
children more than their elders.
The President met with a continual
roar of cheering.
He was introduced at the armory
by n. B. Coffman, president of the
Washington state branch of League
to Enforce Peace
The President reviewed the cost of
the war He said it amounted in mon-
ey on both sides to 1856 billions of
dollars. The cost to the United States
was million an hour for two years.
He added that there were 7,45O, 900
deaths in battle.
He said these were the horrible facts
which he had come to see if the peo-
pie had forgotten and said the coun-
try had not forgotten, he was sure.

preparations be made for the con-
5truction Of drainage works to protect
lands against becoming water-logged.
The water level beneath the valley
ands is gradually rising, and in some
small sections is now so high that the
lands are valueless.
The entire valley is threatened with
water logging, salt seepage and other
damage unless means are found to
care for the surplus water turned on
TO the irrigated fields.
Equipent for the upkeep of the wa
ter system is required. During the
past four years war conditions and a
shortage of steel manufactures caused
the district to make only absolutely
necessary purchases. As a result there
must be purchased locomotives, cars,
dredges, etc, essential to the main
tainance of the diversions, protective
and delivery works of the system.
Vote Bonds or Pay Tax.
The method of payment has been
placed by the irrigation district board
squarely before the voters. The funds
must be provided. There are but two
ways. One is the voting of bonds,
favored by the board, which Will
spread the payments over period of
many years. This will throw the
greater part of the burden on the COM
ing generation of land woners. 1t will
will be paid when the valley lands
can be sold for $500 an acre or more.
1t is the method adopted in both mu-
nlclpal and private enterprises for the
payment of large sums of money and
Is generally favored by voters of the
valley.
The only alternative is the raising
of the money bv taxation, payable
within a wear. This means tax of
| about S4.0O per acre on every parcel
of land in the irrigation district, and
of $500 per 500 on all other property
1t is prohibitive. On much of the land
added to county taxes and other bur-
dens, it would eat up the entire an
nual income for 1920.
Credit is Exhausted.
Other factors enter in to the pro
position, also. Farmers and business
men are borrowers of money. Pro
moters, bankers and heads of indus.
trial enterprises borrow. The Imperial
| irrigation district has borrowed about
81 100000 in the form of warrants
which have been cashed by the banks
Rejection of the plan to vote bonds

debts. 1t will injure the credit OF

valley viii vote on a proposition to is
sue bends to the amount of $2,5O0.0eO

tions TO the water system. Principal

Levees Must BE Maintained.
! The levees in Lower California must
