knowledge Brings Approval

Directors and other representatives of the various
irrigation districts and chambers of commerce of the Val
ley meeting at San Benito on Tuesday Of this week ex-
tended unanimous approval to the ratification of the con-
servation district on which Cameron, Hidalgo and parts
OF Wlllacy and Starr counties will vote September 3.
Purposes of the district and of the reasons leading
up to its formation were explained.
Explanation of those purposes and reasons are suf-
ficent.
No resident of the Valley who has the welfare of this
section at heart can fail to approve Of the district once
these purposes and reasons are clearly explained.
So vital are the ends to which this conservation dis
trict is designed to be the means that no Valleyite can af-
ford to remain uniformed.
Realizing the vital Importance Of the district, and
taking due precautions that its formation be not prevented
by lack of information on the part Of the voting public,
the temporary board Of directors and others instrumental
In the formation of the district have arranged a series of
meetings for practically every community in Hidalgo and
Cameron counties. and no doubt the same action will be
taken regarding Starr and Willacy counties.
The Herald realizes that at present there exists sin
cere opposition to the formation Of the district, opposi-
ton which we believe to be chiefly due to lack Of in
formation regarding the purposes Of the district.
We cannot too strongly urge upon all who are
sincerely opposed to this district that they attend the
meeting which will be held in their community.
Men who know the Valley, know the urgent need of
the Valley for conservation of its irrigation water, know
the vital need of a treaty with Mexico TO that end, will
Ample opportunity to ask questions will be afford
ed, and every phase of the district will be openly dis
cussed.
We believe that when men Of standing in the Valley
explain that this district is urged upon the Valley by the
u. S. member of the international Water commission, eX-
plain that the district can levy but a nominal tax, explain
that the district has and will have no power to issue bonds
or warrants, that the greater part OF the opposition TO Its
formation will have been removed.
At any rate. the district and its formation constitute
one of the most important subjects now before the Valley,
and as citizens of the Valley we owe it to ourselves and
to our section to know what is going on, and to gain that
knowledge by first hand information from authoritative
sources.
These meetings will give US that chance.

Tariff Issue Returns

1t is beginning to look as if the 1882 presidential campaign
will be in at least one respect a return to the political styles
of two or three decades ago. 1t will be a campaign in which
the tariff will play a very large part.
In recent years national campaigns have not hinged on the
tariff. The subject has been mentioned, Of course, now and
then, but nobody paid much attention to il. It meant few votes
either way, and il got much less attention than il deserved.
Now it begins to look as if the tariff will be one of the
main features of the next campaign. The recent inter-
change between Sen. SmOot and George on the sugar duties
has started the ball rolling. One of the favOrite issues"
of a generation ago is showing remarkably promising
signs of life.
