previously spent was for temporary
work in Mexico, which was essential,
and putting in weirs in the Colorado
river. They also admit that nossibly
some money was spent which if done
over again would no doubt be ex-
pended in more beneficial way. That
condition exists with every large cor
poratlon and also every rancher of
Imperial Valley. We are all guilty
OF doing temporary work and we can
see afterwards where money was
spent that was not profitable to us.
The Board realizes that some ac-
tion should be taken to do something
along permanent lines and to that
end committee, as you know, is now
IN Washington trying to work out
some permanent plan for the future.
| believe that you will agree with
the Board that they must keep up to
a certain extent the temporary pro-
tective work in Mexico. and the re-
placing of weirs in the river (if per-
mltted) for few years at least, re-
gardless of whether we build an All
American canal or not, the time re-
quiring for its construction taking
from four to five years.
II you do not vote these bonds, a
tax levy will be made, as l under
stand, to the extent of meeting all
of the Districts obligations and re-
qulrements. Some of US can paw this.
but it will be hard for others. The
selling price of bonds depends large
ly upon the votes for and against.
The Board of Directors have insist
ed that to raise this amount of money,
1t should be put to vote of the .peO-
pie. as it is not considered just to the
taxpayers at large TO raise the taxes
to cover this amount (S2.5OO. .GOO) un-
til we have an opportunity to vote
bonds. And in turn they have placed
in nv charge the petitions to be
signed by property owners. Although
they have offered to pay me for this
work from the beginning, | will not
make any charge whatever for my
time, unless by the 5th of July if |
have not received the required num-
ber of signatures, | will, beginning on
July 9th, make a charge of $500 per
day and expenses and, if necessary,
employ some men here, and, if fur
ther necessary, send one or two to
the coast towns to get resident
signatures, all at the expense of the
District. l make this statement in
order that you may know in advance
of an item of unnecessary expense
which can be avoided
By. signing the petition you do not
ohlige yourself to vote for the bonds.
1t is simnly to call an election. 1t is
very important that you sion your
name as the property is decided, 9TH
erwise you name will be thrown out.
If in doubt as to the proper wav the
title rests, sign your name in full.

GERMANS SIGN PEACE TREATY
FOR
WA TER ISSUE
is EXPLAINED

The following illuminating state
ment on the pending water bond cleo
ton for $2,500,000 was issued to the
voters today by Campaign Manager
Adams:
'To the Property Owners and Vot-
ers of Imperial Valley: As campaign
manager for circulating petitions for
the Imperial Irrigation District to
call an election to vote bonds for S2,-
100000, want to put before the tax
payers some few pertinent facts to
be considered. In order to call an
election we must have property own
ers sign this petition representing $6,-
100000 assessed valuation. At this
writing we have approximately $3,-
100000. There are more than enough
property owners in the Valley at the
present time to complete the required
amount. Petitions can be found at
any bank or mutual water company
office. You will also find a petition
at each of the polling places on July
l, when you vote on the good roads

I'VE have by popular vote elected
a Board of Directors of the Imperial
irrigation District to do virtually two
things.
Flrst-To furnish US an adequate
water supply.
Second-To keep the Colorado river
out of the Imperial Valley.
The directors and their engineers
have gone over these matters care
FtalI ~,
The Board, not wishing to assume the
responsibility of authorizing the ex-
penditure of money required fo~ the
above purposes without further eX-
pert advice, employed two consulting
engineers, who's reputation and ability
were not questioned. They have, with
the assistance of our engineers, for
the safety of the Valley, recommended
work to b done that will cost approx
imately $2,500,000. | have been in
formed that work has already been
done and contracts let calling for
about one-half of this amount and
warrants have been issued.
| have the utmost confidence in our
Board of Directors and | do not be-
lieve they would approve the eXpen-
diture of this money if it were not,
in their Judgment, for the best inter-
ests of Imperial Valley. If we do not
support the men we put in charge of
the Districts affairs, we cannot NOR
ally hold them responsible for wa
ter shortage or break OF the Colo
RADIO river into the Imperial Valley.
There is not as much opposition by
the people whom l have talked with
against the voting of these bonds as
there is desire to know whether we
are getting anything done along per-
manent lines or not. Some criticism
has been made as to money unprofit-
ably spent. The Board, as | under
stand, promptly admits that a large

He Says.
(By Associated Press)

=, Washington, June 28.-Secretary
Iumulty today made public a mes
sage from President Wilson saying:
My Fellow Countrymen: The
treaty of peace is signed If it is rat
flied and acted upon in full and sim
cere execution OF it's terms, it fur
nlshes charter for new order of
affairs in the world. 1t is a severe
treaty in the duties and penalties i'm
posed upon Germany, but severe only
because great wrongs by Germany are
to be righted. 1t imposes nothing
which Germany cannot do. She can
regain her rightful standing in the
world by promptly establishing an
honorable government under which
small groups Of men cannot use the
peoples of great empires to serve their
ambition for power and domination.
1t associates the free governments of
the world in a league in which they
are pledged to use their united power
to maintain peace by maintaining
