PROPERTY QUALIFICATION STAND
GIVEN BY HEAD OF FARM BUREAU

Now that the proposition of a
property qualification for voters in
! irrigation district elections has
been made a matter of political
controversy, we believe it proper
that a statement should be made
of the farm bureaus position in
this regard. We trust that you
will find it convenient to publish
this statement in the columns of
your valued paper.
At a farm bureau board of di-
rectors' meeting held April 4, 1881,
it was decided that the farm bu-
reau should propose and advocate
change in the law governing cleo
tons in the Imperial Irrigation dis
trict to the effect that voting in
district elections should be limited
to district taxpayers. This change,
as suggested by the farm bureau,
provided that each resident district
taxpayer, large or small, should
have one vote. 1t did not provide
for voting by corporations or by
absentee property owners.
This proposition of the farm bu-
reau was Immediately endorsed by
the board of directors of the I'm
perial Irrigation district, by the
board of supervisors, by the grand
jury, and by several of the cham
berS of commerce. With this sup
port we requested Assemblyman
Robinson, then in Sacramento, to
introduce a bill to make the change
as above outlined. The bill, as in
troduced by Robinson, was drawn
in the farm bureau office here.
This bill passed the assembly with
flying colors, but was defeated in
senate committee, because of the
fact that the irrigation district
withdrew its support and further
because the attorney general ruled
that such a bill applying only to
the Imperial Irrigation district and
not to the other irrigation districts
might be unconstitutional. He
ruled that such bill, applying to
all irrigation districts would be
constitutional.
An irrigation district is, or rather,
should be, purely business organ
ization. 1t is concerned only with
the irrigation and drainage of a
certain tract of land m an eff
cient and economical manner. The

MANDERs VALUABLE

Mlnnesota'S candidate for all- American fullback honors, Jack Manders, has not a reputation as a passer but his line -bucking pro- gress has so occupied the opposi- tion this season that Bernie Bier mans Goghers have been able to capitalize their aerial alternatives.
 So writes Jay Vessels from St. Paul, adding: Minnesota beat Nebraska on pass; two or three scores against Iowa were on pass es and the winning touchdown against Northwestern was through the air. Big Jack got great gobs of yardage in all these games, av- eraging more than five yards a try against Northwestern, yet he scored only once on a plunge and that was against Iowa. He made the winning score against Nebraska on lateral.
 eManders had a hard time get ting started because of a knee in- jury that slowed him up tremen- dously against Purdue. Jack got so agitated he lost his temper at a memorable practice session and got a hot tongue-lashing from the calm Minnesota coach"

MILITARY MUZZLE

PARIS, Nov. 25.-Joseph Paul. Boncour, Frances Minister of War, believes that generals should be seen, but not heard.
 In recent circular, he told the higher officers that they must not speak at ceremonies which the Minister attends in person. He reserves for himself the right to talk on behalf of the army. Tn case, however, circumstances seem to oblige a general or colonel to- say something at a veterans reunion or the dedication of war monument, M. Paul-Boncour stipu- lates that the officer must first submit his speech for approval.
 The Ministers aim is to avoid possibly bellicose utterances by professional soldiers.

 An innovation will be a bar, designed in modernistic style in anticipation of a change in the prohibition law"

TOUGH ON TITANs

Colleges which made football guarantees to visiting teams one or two years ago, based on more prosperous conditions or prospects, have been holding the bag" this fall, as result of grossly reduced gate receipts. Moreover, there is the experience, such as the Uni versity of Detroit admits, fin hay ing the teams on it's schedule kill their drawing power by getting themselves regularly and soundly licked before they played the Ti- tans."
 Only two teams came to Detroit with "unblemished records" As a consequence, Athletic Director Charles E. Dorais, Rockne's old playmate at Notre Dame, "sug- gests that contracts be so drawn that visiting teams guarantee will be placed on sliding scale, to keep pace with it's drawing power He believes certain per- centage of the base guarantee should be deducted for a defeat sustained in prior game that same season.
 Dorais has not worked out the details. I doubt if he will. The sliding scale" might result in a guarantee sliding right out of the window. On what basis would re- ductions be made? Would Army say, be debited for a defeat such as it met at the hands of Pitts burgh, despite outgaining the Pan- thers? Or what would Yale de- duct from Harvard's guarantee as a consequence of ts crushing 46-G rout by Army?
 A straight-out percentage ar rangement agreed to by both par ties, is the only suitable method

College athletic directors, hand ling the hazardous football affairs of the season, appear to be learn ing lesson Tex Rickard acquired many years ago in the first fight ing business, namely. that the, percentage system is safer and more sensible than the guarantee.
 Rickard considered no fighter, except Jack Dempsey, worth more than percentage of what he could draw at the gate. If Rick ard made definite guarantees, as he was often obliged to do, he safe-guarded himself by the bally- hoo, as in the Dempsey -Carpentier fight of 1921, or he arranged an alternative percentage deal with his principals.
