WHOSE BABY?

Whose baby is the Irrigation Dis
trict's bond refunding plan?
Was it conceived in the minds of
the bondholders, brought forth by
the labors of their attorneys, laid
in the lap of the Farm Bureau,
passed by few of its members
to the Irrigation. District to be
SUCKLED by its farmers?
The proposed plan is introduced
by ten (only ten) "whereases", the
last one reading as follows: where
as the District desires to carry out
and execute said partially complet-
ed plan of 1892 and said Warrant
Retirement Plan, as a plan Of COM
position with certain changes and
notifications, which in the light of
events subsequent to 1882, ARE
DEEMED NECESSARY AND AD-
VlSABLE FOR THE PROTECTION
OF THE INTERESTS OF THE
BONDHOLDERS AND HOLDERS
OF WARRANTS AFFECTED
THEREBY I repeat in part
FOR THE PROTECTION OF THE
INTERESTS OF THE BOND
HOLDERS AND HOLDERS OF
WARRANTS" ISN'T 2HAT PLAIN
ENGLISH? WHOSE INTEREST? ?
WHOSE BABY? HUH!
Will our RICH farmers vote the
PLAN to protect the interests of
the POOR, POOR holders of bonds
and warrants? I ask, will they?
If you see people wabbling along
the street don't be too sure they are
drunk they may only be dizzy
from reading their printed copy of
the plan-confused over what may
be between the lines.

it's nice to get away Sunday. I

Commenting on a letter he got
