The Water Users Election

We think no previous election Of the River Valley Water Users association quite important as the which Is to be held next Tues day. There is one overshadowng issue. the drainage question. concerning which the membership is divided the need of relieving the water-logged menaced lands. about 4s.ooo acres-as in which that relief shall be administered If at all The board of governors and the council have unan- Imously approved plan of drainage.
 All expert opinion favors combination of pump ing plants and drainage dtches superior to other plan for the of the of the users feel concern the rising water: they yet threatened, perhaps, shall be; but they do not look enough perceive that they, well as the whole valley would ticipate in disaster if a considerable of land should be rendered permanently unfit for cultiva- 
 There others who realize what the water logging of great would mean and they would prefer that some means might be found for the reduction of the level. they object to the by them of pumped water for ir- rigation. Their objections have been overcome by the assurance that the pumped water would be mixed with gravity water that possible harm could result to land crops
 Another argument favor pumping plants is that they would develop a water supply while reducing the threatening level that additional lands might be served and brought into cultivation Tightening burden now resting upon the lands already served. Here would be situation pleasantly opposite to such would arise if 4o0o0 lands should go of cultivation, thereby increasing the burden upon the remaining lands

 The views of the president we think, will appeal to a majority of the water we'll his progressive record during his term.

A Just Complaint

Phoenix, AriZ., Aprll $, lyZV. Editor Republican:
 I note with interest remarks in a re cent issue, concerning the condition of Grand avenue and Glendale road This is one of the most used and most i'm portant roads in Arizona, and IS and has been for months practically i'm passable for ordinary traffic. The loss to the community in time of transit loading to less than normal capacity. and wear and tear and breakage of wagons and machines, is many times the cost of proper upkeep. What is needed is a properly built road; but pending such construction. if there is any valid reason why it should not be in repair for a small sum. The road is absolutely out of keeping with the general condition of prosperity and progressiveness of the community, and is disgrace 10 our city and county.

Where the People
 May Have a Hearing
A STATEMENT BY MIR. IRVINE

E J c the ReDuDllcan and me PQDilC. In view Of the ridiculous and un- warranted fight made by the opposi- ton to the administration against the use of redwood for the Verde water system. and tho equally ridiculous charges of graft in connection with letting of the contract for the redwood pipe line, I desire to show how foolish and unfounded these claims and charges are.
 Tn tie first place they have shouted aloud and published in a local weekly paper about three notable instances of the failure of redw pipe lines One was at Greedy. Colo; one al McMinn- vile, Ore: and one at Stafford, ArIz. All three cases were investigated by Us with the remarkable result that neither of these places had any redwood pipe lines, out had installed Douglas fir stave piI Q nes. But little thing like that was not allowed to interfere with their plan tc show the people that red wood was not suitable material for our pipe line.
 Furthermore the NIcAIinnville people were highly indignant at the story pub lished regarding their water system, and sent a long telegram signed by lot of merchants land bankers of Mo Minnvile denying in toto the state ment made about their water system and saying that they had no trouble with it at all, and that it had been giv- ing good service for fourteen years.
 Second, in regard to the charges made of graft in connection with the letting of the contract for the redwood pipe line. About three months ago it was gravely announced in Dunbars Weekly that Bob Craig had engineered the red wood pipe deal and had received an ss0 000 rake off for his services. Now in the last weeks issue of that paper it is stated, presumably on the same authority, that it was Ned Creighton. the rake off was s1S5.000 and Ned was in Los Angeles collecting the money.
 With that kind of politics being playe1 by the opposition's political managers. it is no wonder that the people are disgusted with such tactics which are worthy of the palrny days of the early political boss rule, and predict an overwhelming victory for the whole city administration ticket next Tuesday.
