THE "FAlR AND SQUARE"
QUOTA PLAN

America as a nation believes In "fair

representatives at the peace confer

The same idea was in the minds OF
officials Of this Federal Reserve Dis
trict when they adopted the "fair and
square" individual quota plan for the
Fifth Liberty Loan.
Under this system every citizen Will
be given quota based on his tax re-
turns and income. II the amount al
tloted is regarded unjust, the individ'
ual has the right to appeal to an ad-
justment committee.
No one will be harassed by solici.

If every person responds, the county,
quota will be raised the first day and

INBOUND SANTA CRUZ WATER.

Water to the right of us, water to the left of us, water in front and back of us, came the word from the country traversed by the washes of the Santa Cruz river last Tuesday, says the Arizona Cattleman.
 At midnight in Tucson the night before the roar of the Santa Cruz could be heard at the city hall and before noon on Tuesday a flood of water spread out over a portion of this valley.
 When the spirit of reclamation takes a strong hold of our peo- pie. or private capital sees the great opportunity in impounding the flood waters of this river for irrigatipg purposes the dream of the late Bill Green, the cop per magnate, will have come true. The company he organ ized built a reservoir and pre- pared thousands of acres of land for irrigation but his death stop ed further work. A few years past the dam broke. Had the company completed their plans thousands upon thousands of acres of Casa Grande land would now be under cultivation. The Santa Cruz is still on the job and it's flood waters can be util- ized. All that is needed is the big money to take up the work and the sale of lands under the project would soon pay for the construction of dam and canals.
