The reason this dam should

Can you see any source of ad-
ditional water supply sufficient
to fill a storage basin? Where
can we get any more?
Why not hook up with Bonnie
willie and Coulee instead of sad
ding the taxpayers with that
debt? We will have to wait three
or four years for the completion
Of this proposed dam and be
buying juice from outside, some
place.
This is the opinion of a group
OF men who have worked along
this river above the dam at
Headworks for the past Is years

RAPS COUNTY HEADS

Editor, The Times: I notice
where the county commissioners
turned down Sheriff Bjorklund's
request for more men to cope
with added burdens OF his office.
The eontemptuous refusal of the
request leads me to believe that
the county commissioners have
little concern for the public well
fare.
A short time ago Or. y. f.
Masnussen, county health officer.
made a request Of the county
commissioners for three sddi-
tlonal men for sanitary inspection
work due TO the large influx Of
population in areas adjoining the
military reservation, including
automobile tourist camps and ex-
listing settlements. This had
created q serious problem, the
doctor said.
And more recently the city
council voted an appropriation
for more city police and equip
ment to cope with problems due
TO increased population and traf-
fic hazards. I do not think that
the stubborn refusal Of the
county commissioners TO aid the
sheriff lie in keeping with their
position as public servants A
matter OF saving lives should not
be made q political football.

As a columnist, Mrs. Roose-
welt is n member of the Wash
ington Newspaper Guild. though
she has painstakingly kept aloof
from its affairs. The guild is
affiliated with the Washington
local of the CLIO, which has about
10000 members. Recently Mrs.
Roosevelt advised some OF the
guild people that they ought to
withdraw from the CIO. She is
understood to have consulted
Sidney Hillman, David Dubinsky
and Anna Rosenberg, New York
social security head, before con-
veying her opinion to several
guild newspaper women who
cover her press conferences reg
ularly.
The Washington branch of the
clio has persistently supported
the national organizations policy
of opposition to the administra-
tons war program. II has en-
dorsed the various strikes which
the CLIO has called in certain
defense material factories In
opposition to the presidents

In the C1O-ers' opinion, these
activities are the reason for Mrs
Roosevelt's suggestion. They
also believe that if such a break

the Clio everywhere. A vote to
decide between withdrawal and
continued affiliation will be stag
