HOW TO WORK FOR
 THE CHARLESTON DAM

'He CHARLESTON DAM
 of interest to the farmers and business men Of coehise county is the Charleston dam project. which has been endorsed by the National Exclamation Assoc eiation and made part Of it. program. Fo the past 20 years the construction of the Charleston irrigation projee: has been dreamed of by the farm CTS and business men Of Southern Arizona, but that the time 10 stop creamine has arrived and the plan Of the National Reclamation Asso- eiation for effective effort is vivid Iy placed sauareIy before US in the following from George H. Maxwell. executive director Of the sssoeia- ten:
 Mere than twenty years ago l took letter of introduction 10 M- A NJ Compton. Presiden, oi the Merchant and Travellers association. now the Chicago association of Copmerce He heard my plan for the developmen, Of new trade territory by rec!ama. lion. and finally said: Well MT Maxwell. don't know of anythius better that Uncle sam can do with his money l will do everything can to help yOu' He called a meet. ing of his Executive committee. o. which John ". Scott of Carson. Price. Scott X Co. was chairman They gave me letters of introduction 10 their members. called person ally on all of them. That started the movement in the east that re. suNed in the passage of the United States Reclamation Act in 1902. an the reclamation oI millions Of acres of desert land
 Now suppose every concern that has ever been enrolled as a member of the National Reclamation Asso. citation should say to me exactly what MT. Compton said. Do you req -lize tha; il would result in the com, plete adoption Of the plan SC, foryn in the attached letter 2 this session os Congress?
 Every business man who receives this letter should:
 First: Your own annual dues be ing paid for 1920. select the names O. nine other commercial or manu. featuring concerns and write 10 each urging them 10 cooperate in this movement and remit their dues for 1920 as members of the National Re clamation Association
 Second: Invite some Of your busi ness friends 10 a luncheon. where their cooperation can be enlisted aud an executive committee o: three ap pointed 10 secure the cooperation oi local organizations, newspapers and business concerns.
 The strong organizations that hay z joined forces 10 urge the passage Q. the Fletcher-Smith bill are:
 I. The Southern Commercial Con gress. that put through the Fedora Farm Loan act:
 ?. The National Reclamation Asso ciatois, that put through the United States Reclamation act;
 9. The Western States Reclama ton Association:
 1. The Mississippi Valley Associa tion.
 That is a combination that will de velop an irresistible force, and every business man in the United State: should take off his coat, buckle uI his belt and get into the fight. Dom figure on how little you can do. F. gure on how much you can do |, help this drive" to keep the com nerce and industry Of our countr, out of the Slough of despond.'
 Yours very truly,
 GEORGE II. MAXWELL,

markets.

markets.
 From the momen; this country awakens 10 its own possibilities. rn ,il everything proposed in this letter has been completed. there can be no depressed industries. no hard times, no unemployment, no lack of markets for everything we can manufacture.
 What must we do 10 get it done?
 That is the question every busi- ness man will instinctively ask
 Here is the answer:
 Organize one thousand commercial and manufacturing concerns as mem bers ot the Naticral Reclamation as. sociation.
 Let each of them by correspon- dence secure nine other members, making total membership of ten thousand each paying a membership fee of seO.oe for 1920. Tha, will make a total for our War Chest" of s2oO.oOO
 Use that fund 10 rouse the people for the new war against the deserts and the swamps. and 10 fight the de yas;ating forces of nature with the same iVvincible determination that they would fight a foreign foe
 Conduct exactly the same kind o: an educational! campaign to awaken the intense interest of the people of the whole United States. and do in four months the work that was spread over four years, in the cam paisn tha; resulted in the passage or the National Reclamation act.
 We learned how, during the war to do big things quickly
 The National Legislation necessary for this great constructive era in th. history of our country is as follows:
 l The Newla'nGs River Regulation Amendment. enacted in August 1917
 .. $. 3i7!. the smooi Reclamati oE and Rural Homes Bill for local and governmental cooperation to reclaim and develop waste or unproductive lands where i; can be accomplished withou; federal appropriations;
 3. s. 39i2 and H. R 12649. the F!eicher-Smith bill for Reclamation and Rural Settlement through fedeT- al, Sta:e and local district co-opera ton under financial plan mcdeled after the Federal Farm Loan Act that will provide fund of over sio,0oO.0O0 fer construction work as fast as needed within ten years;
 i. Adequate appropriations for the Forest Service for Source Streaia Control and Flood Prevention Work on the watersheds of all flood men aced valleys, To take up the labor slack and give quick re-employmeEt to dislocated labor before the unem- ployed begin 10 walk the streets. with starvation facing them. and form mobs demanding work or bread
 The plan must be as big as the problem. and no plan for construc- tive legislation will serve to keep us from going into ;he ditch. commer- cially and industrially. unless it is complete plan An automobile with only three wheels will not go far The plan presented above is as big as the problem. and it is com plete. IL is neither locally selfish, sectional nor segmentary. It boxes the compass l. goes clear around the circle and leaves no gap.
 The legislation above referred 10 could be passed within ninety days from the moment 1000 business men 1 perfected the enlarged organization and launched the constructive gan paign proposed in this letter
 May we not depend on you to be one of the 1000?
 The courtesy of a prompt reply will be greatly appreciated. Yours very truly, ! GEORGE H. MAXWELL. Executive Director.
