TO THE MEMBERS OF THE SALT 1lNER VALLEY WATER USERS ASSOCIATION:
 Before allowing my name to be placed upon the ballot as president at large oi the association, I gave the matter a great deal of careful and deliberate consideration. taking into account tho amount Of work and time which will be necessary for me to devote to the also ciaiion II chosen to represent the share holders Of this project in the above ca,- pacity- 1 came to the conclusion to make the necessary sacrifices in order thar the business affairs of the asso- ciation. and the interests Of the share holders be administered in such a way that investors in lands under this pro- 3ecf could feel that the cost including new improvements, operating and maintenance charges would not become L serious burden.
 am setting up below, some data which consider important and should De. matter of public knowledge in order that you may know the condi- ti0ns which will confront me if elected and the approximate amount of money 10 be raised to pay off the deficit of the fiscal year 1920, also estimate charge that will have to be made for water in the year beginning October lst 1920. together with the amount of the three special assessments to be voted upon at this election

 Trust liabilities 46.500.20 64,055. .o4 Net available
 Working Capital ..... S370,450.37
 You will observe that on May 31st. 1918. the net available working capital amounted to over a half million dol lars There was a special assessment of another half million dollars for the installation of pumping plants, and an additional cash assessment for oper- ation and maintenance of over half a million dollars for years 1918 and 1919. This cash aggregating over one and a half million dollars, has been expended from May 31, 1918, to date; and, at the present time, March 31st, 1920, the as- sociation has overdrawn their bank ac- count to the amount of about SoO,O00, for which the members Of the aSSocIa- ton are paying eight per cent interest to the bank, and for the close of this calendar year, September 30th. 1920, it will be necessary to borrow additional cash from the bank in order to meet the operating and maintenance ex- penses for the ensuing months.
 Reviewing the above figures, l am making an estimate on the amount of assessment for operation and mainten- ance for the fiscal year beginning Octo- Der 1st, 1920, it will be necessary to make charge for water of S3.63 min imum and if special assessment car ries S2.49 for construction, giving the charge of s5.02 per acre of land. In order to cover the deficit now in the working capital of the fiscal year end- ing September 30, 1920, it will be neces- sary for the management to make an additional increase in the assessment of approximately s1.75 per share. giving the grand total assessment of $6-f7 per acre minimum charge payable the next fiscal year. You can readily see that the assessment charges for water will be extremely high and if continued under the present management the price of water will continue to climb.
 Reviewing the three assessments to be voted on by the shareholders April 9th, 1920, I have no comment to make further than I think the estimates ori the construction work are extremely high. and if these measures carry, l will endeavor to see that the construc- tion cost is kept down to the minimum and will see that only the necessary amount which is actually required will be spent, and try to get for the share holders one hundred cents on every dollar to be expended.
 After looking into the financial af- fairs of the association, if you are sat isfied with present conditions, then it will be. proper and right to continue under the same management as in the past. If you want to cooperate and help to the end that economy and effi- ciency replace mismanagement and extravaganza, I will appreciate your support, assuring you that I will en- deavor to administer the business Of the association in such a. way that your interest will be taken care of at all times and demonstrate that the share holders are both able and competent to handle the affairs of the associa-s ton successfully.
 Respectfully submitted,
 F. A. REID.

This was the appeal made by John

There was pending a bill, commonly
known as the SmOot bill, which, If
passed, would make farm mortgage
bonds subject to the income tax. This
tax on the bonds would result in an
increase in the interest rate on farm
loans and also would drive the joint
stock land banks out of business.

Dean Coulter believes there is
distinct service for the joint stock land

when the original act was passing

we fully investigated the viewpoint OF
the investors. We found that many
who are interested Ia farm mortgages
or loans on farm lands said: We
would prefer the bonds Of the federal
land banks because they would repre-
sent the joint or cooperative liabili-
ties Of scores Of small farmers, and
they are, after all. the backbone Of the
nation. When they fail we are all

ut was clear to us that there were
two classes Of farmers to serve, those
who wanted to form associations, and
those who wanted to go it alOne.'
'"rhe two classes Of farmers and the
two classes of investors and, therefore,
two sources of funds for the develop
ment of agriculture, all looked toward
more food for our great urban centers,
which, If it would not mean lower
prices, would at least mean that prices
would not go SO high as otherwise
would be the case.
'You may be interested as to the
situation in foreign countries during
the war. Even in Germany during the
war, the two types Of banks (the joint
stock and the cooperative banks) con-
tinued to thrive side by side. / am
told that the bonds Of the stock banks
sold better than government bonds,
while the cooperative land banks
(landschaften) bought large blocks of
government bonds. In other words,
governments may come and go. may
rise and fall and change form, and
government securities may be accepted
BY the new government or may be dis
claimed, but bonds based upon farm
mortgages are as good as the land It
self, which is as enduring as the world
and more permanent than life itself"
