This Week In
Thought and Religion
By Robert L. Moody
R~evivals vs.. Sensationalism

Religious groups are deploring
present day decline in spiritual
life. Spring, fall and summer are
the usual seasons when the
churches launch definite campaigns
for the saving Of souls.
During this generation there is
. false idea about the purpose OF
revhals. This erroneous opinion is
created mostly by us, ministers
and officials. The general rule is
to get some S sational preacher
who is literally eloquent and get
people stirred up emotionally. The
false evangelist takes IL few
"shots" at sin e. g.. card part'ej,
drink adultery etc, then scare a
CIV sinners about to "ioin the

faulted old ones renewed. If re-

debtedness is being trebled and
fixed charges greatly increased. The
ability of the district to meet its
obligations cannot be judged solely
from past performance.
Canal Seepage
Canal Seepage may be greater
when clearer water is delivered into
the canal system from Imperial
dam.
The engineers do not believe
there will be any rapid develop
ment of land on the East and West
Mesas for many years. and costs
of development there will more than
offset any additional revenue that
may be available from that source.
Eighty per cent of the money rails
ed by assessment in the district
comes from less than one-half the
total area of the district. and one
half the total assessment is borne
by one-quarter of the total area.
1t is apparent from this that a
large part of the lands in the dis
trict are marginal or Sub-marginal
in character.
Ste ~ reduction of alfalfa acre
age from a level of substantially
10000 acres in 1929 to 1882, inclu-

showing an approximate gross agri-

the engineers believe, are not TO be

period of time.
The engineers believe district
power revenue would not be mater
tally increased if lines were ex-
tended into Coachella Valley.
1t is to be anticipated that sales
of power by the district in I'M
perial Valley will bring in gross
revenues of about 100000 in 1888,
that such sales will rapidly increase
to about 100000 within five years,
and that thereafter the gain will be
slow
All of the operating revenues will
be required for fixed charges in
1888, and most of them in 1889 BY
1910 there should be available from
the power system more than $780,
900 net revenue after fixed charges,
and this should increase steadily
to a maximum of about $240,000 by
1915. Thereafter no material in

OF DISTRICT FINANCES

west mesaS when these areas are
brought under cultivation, the re-
port says. Otherwise their irrlga-
ton will endanger other lands IN
the district because of their eieVa-
ton.
New methods of drainage must be
developed in Imperial Valley, the
engineers found, because the quail
ty of the soil renders it almost ln1-
pervious to water. Because OF this
quality drainage by pumping from
the underground supply, as is done
in Arizona's Salt River Valley, is
entirely impracticable, and open
drain bitches are only effective to
a limited degree.

tural conditions, potential new
areas, areas in crop, income
from crops. physical properties OF
the district, flood protection works,
operation and maintenance, the
irrigation district power system ana
its available market, outside mar
ket. local market and probable rev.
enues.
The report concludes with the
observation that assessment on
land and water tolls may not be
counted upon to produce more han
