NEW PROJECT MEANS MORE
WATER FOR SAME COST
Highlander Says Gravity Canal Sys.
TEN Will Cost at Rate of $11
Acre for Twenty Years.

One Highland water user has been
using his pencil and figuring out what
the building Of the Kennewick irriga-
ton project as proposed by the state
will mean to the owners of developed
lands under the project. His conclu-
sions follow:
Sat the water users meeting at the
Highland club house last Tuesday eve
ming number of the members seemed
to think the buying of the new water
right under the proposed state propo-
sition would be an additional expense
and suggested the following simple
comparison to me:
cat present we are paying $1,000
per acre for our present allowance of
water, which we all admit is insuffi-
cient for our needs, with no possibil-
ity of increase even at additional ex-
pense.
"The new proposition would cost
US only S11 per acre, figured on the
20 year basis, which would not only
pay for the water right but also give
us the added increase in water we
are all so much in need of on the
Highlands.
Figured on this basis the new pro-
position would cost US less than the
present one, because of the greater
amount of water delivered, and give
us the advantage, among the many
others, of the state and government
control of the project.
"It seems to me under these condi-
tions we should vote strong for the
new proposition as it would be very
great gain to us at no added expense.
"Cost per acre for 20 years, $3.50.
Approximate maintenance, So per
acre for 20 years 1920, or $11 per
acre per year.

August IL, 1920.

August IL, lSZU.
Editor, Courier Reporter,
Kennewick, Washington.
Dear Mr.. Editor:
Sorry to bother you again regard
ing statements of R. E. Pratt, your
county commissioner.
In your issue of July 20 he states,
referring to me: "His principal OBJ
lection to the Carlyon bill is that only
nine miles of the Inland Empire high
way are.inside Spokane county"
Mr.. Pratt better study up little on
the state road alignment and mileage,
in which case he will find that not 8
miles of the Inland Empire highway
are in Spokane county, but SO miles,
all to be paved under the Carlyon act
should it by chance pass. In addition
to the SO miles of the Inland Empire
highway in Spokane county, there are
35 miles of the Sunset highway which
comes within the provisions of the
Carlyon scheme, and according to his
plan approximately 100000 will be
expended in Spokane county should
the act be passed. We are fighting
this thing not because of mileage
which will come to Spokane county
through its provisions, but upon prln--
ciple. Just as many miles of paved
highways will come to Benton county
and Spokane county under the pay
as-we-go" plan as under the Carlyon
plan. Possibly more, as / have point
ed out before.
Cordially yours.

! entail members of that body and was
the author of the county agricultural
expert law passed in that session. He
was republican state central commit
teeman during the 1916 campaign,
speaking extensively in eastern Wash
ington for the state and national tick
cts, and was permanent chairman of
the recent republican state convention
held at Bellingham, winning general
praise from the state press for his ex-
cellent handling of number of diff
ferent parliamentary situations.
During the Spanish-American war,
Captain Brown served as a private of
infantry in the 50th Iowa volunteers.
Shortly after the United States enter
ed the world war, although married
and having family, he again volun-
teered his services, serving as captain
in the 7th field artillery, LIST division,
participating in practically all of the
fighting of that famous unit and be-
ing cited by his division commander
for personal gallantry in action dur
ing the Argonne battle.
Since his return from France in
1919, Captain Brown has spoken ex-
.tensively andn in every portion of the
state against radicalism, attacking
especially the /. w. w. and the nom
partisan league. Last winter he serv-
ed as special prosecutor of syndical-
ism cases in Kittitas county and Sc
cured one of the first convictions in
the state.
captain Browns public record
stamps him as thoroughly progress
sive. He stands squarely upon the ma
tional platform of the republican
party and if elected will aid in carry
ing out its promises. He regards the
/ liquor question as settled by the 18th
amendment and the acts of congress
to make it effective and will oppose
every effort to relax the same. He
believes that the ex-service men and
women deserve national compensation
and will work to that end. He is par
ticularly interested in the development
of the many worthy irrigation and
reclamation projects of the fourth dis
trict and believes that he can be of
material aid in securing early federal
aid therefor. He opposes all at
temPts to raise any distinction of
class or to bring about the control of
any class, and pledges himself to rep
resent all of the people without re-
gard to class, creed or condition.

SOLDIERS BONUS
Is it not true that this is the best
country in the world to live in? And
is it not also true that the Soldier has
made it so?
Those who have clear understand
ing of the cardinal principles of the
American government find no cause
to bubble or quarrel with it. Even
the bolsheyist admits, after being sent
back to bolshevist Russia, from whence
he came, that this is the best country,
the best governed, in the world.
The American soldier has always
proved uncomfortable, and has always
returned from conflict with a clearer
vision, and greater determination to
keep this the best country in the
world
Many of these men went to battle
for their country just when life for
them was just beginning to be worth
while, and it would seem that such
men should be compensated as far as
it is possible, without any discussion
as to the merits of the case.
For two years they fought, never
pausing to consider what the result
would be upon their personal fortunes
in civil life. They went when those
who could not, did not, and would not,
go, but stayed at home and received
large salaries, secure in the belief
that the boys "over there" would make
it possible for them to continue to live
in peace and pile up fortunes.
This is surely a great country, yes,
the best in the world, but the soldiers
have made it so.
|. There is no contending that in rem
dering a small measure of justice to
these men, that the heroic part they
played is likely to be cheapened or
made to appear less heroic. No better
cause has ever been presented for
consideration.

Fighting Blood
The slogan of the letterhead of the
employment bureau of the American
Legion in Boston reads: "Put Fight
ing Men in Your Business" The Bos-
ton employment bureau after sue
cessful year has found that many New
England employers are not only will
ing but anxious to heed its admoni-
tions. They have come to have a
distinct and decided preference for
fighting blood"
A big corporation with more than
ten thousand employees on it's payroll
recently advertised for men, closing
its announcement with the statement,
"Men with military experience espec-
tally desired" Inquiry Of an official
elected this reply:
cit isn't sentiment with us; it's
business. We have found that men
who served in the war excel in re-
sourcefulness, self-reliance, patience
and ambition"
Not only in New England has the
employer found the value Of the fight
ing blood. It is coursing with ever
increasing strength through the ar
teries and veins of all American in
dustries. And where the employer is
not deliberately putting it in it is

The following by F. w. Galbraith
Jr., national commander of The. Am
erican Legion, shows the object
ahead of our organization.
The American Legion was born of
the fighting spirit of the American
Army and Navy. That spirit welded
five million men together in united
determination to conquer German
militarism. It still lives. Animated
by it, The American Legion marches
, on today with the same blazing con-
yictions that the five million men
knew in 1918. Today it is ready to
fight new battles for right.
"For God and Countrdy, we asso-
ciate ourselves together" This was
the indonhtable purpose that pervad-
ed the first caucus at Paris, that was
affirmed at st. Louis and consecrated
at Minneapolis. That solemn purpose
was reaffirmed at Cleveland, and now
the Legion heads into 1921 with the
zeal of crusaders in glorious cause
the fulfilment of the preamble of it's
constitution. Read that preamble
again. Let it sink in. It points out
the path of duty to every Legionnaire.
There are those outside the Legion
who scott at the sentiments of that
preamble. There is fighting to be
Pdone, and the Legion is going to be in
the front lines. We shall follow no
middle of the road policy. We are go
ing to hit and hit hard. We shall fight
off all attacks on constitutional Am
ericanism, and battle to keep this
country safe on the road of national
destiny.
I shall obey unquestioningly the die
tates of the national convention. Be.
hind me will be the full force of the
Legion. Our total accomplishment
will depend largely on the harmon
ious and vigorous support Of the full
membership. We shall first obtain
justice and proper care for our sick
and wounded. We shall press unceas-
ingly our work in Americanism. We
shall achieve a fair adjustment of
