SUBMIT PROPOSAL
SOON FOR VERDICT
Of LAND OWNERS
May Get Third Of Cost
From Federal Agency;
COrWin Presses Quest

Roughly estimated, the cost of
draining approximately $4,000 acres
of swamped Yellowstone valley
farm land in the Park City-Laurel
district would be about 100000, of
which about one-third could come
from governmental agencies, COM
mitteemen and officers Of the Lau-
rel Commercial club learned here
Thursday at a meeting with agency
representatives.
j. w. Coirwin said in a telephone
conversation Wednesday that the
committee he heads will continue
its quest for offers from the
agencies and will then submit the
proposal to the affected landowners.
He said he thought the matter
would be submitted soon. The ques-
ton will be on whether the land
owners wish to undertake their
two-thirds share of the cost of re.
claiming the land by drainage.
Besides representatives of the
Commercial club at the meeting
Thursday afternoon, E. C. CIVIL.
lin, deputy war food administrator
from the conservation program
branch at Denver, attended. He and
others composed a party that made
a tour of inspection later in the
afternoon. Also present were H.
l.. Buck, secretary Of the Billings
Commercial club, +. H.. %Sandberg
of the Billings office Of the U. S.
soil conservation survey and a Mr..
Petit of the Triple A.
President r. H. Sterrett of the
Commercial club said the agency
representatives disclosed there is no
provision for a direct grant from
the government for draining the
land, and that the cost would have
to be assumed by the owners, with
an agency assisting. If organized
and set up under the AAA, about a
third of the cost would be borne
by that agency If it came under
the soil conservation service for or
g%anization, that body would furnish
all the technical help gratis.
1t was recommended that as a
preventative measur the bitches
carrying irrigation water be lined
with bentonite to avoid the water
escaping into gravel beds the canals
traverse. Such insulation would
also provide more water for users
at the lower ends of the canals.
Gwillin was acquainted with the
nature and extent of the proposal
here and on a previous visit had
inspected the area. One farm be-
tween Park City and Laurel, now
badly seeped, produced alfalfa seed
many years ago that on n occas-
sion won first prize IN world COM
petition at an international seed
and grain show. Many other tracts
in early days were choice proper
ties.
Corwin, chairman of the commit
tee that has worked on the project
for draining for the past several
years, said that after deducting
the federal contribution of one-third
the remaining two-thirds would be
about $50 per acre as the land
owners share of the cost. He re-
iterated that his committee would
press its seach for aid from the
agencies and that when the best
offer had been made the proposal
would be submitted to the owners
a verdict.

A Fine Opportunity

There are two things about the
appointment now of Peoples
Counsel for the District of Columbia
that are particularly gratifying.
One is the Presidents choice for the
job of a respected and competent
member of the Corporation Coun-
sells staff. James w. Lauderdale is
Washingtonian, active in the af-
fairs of the community and we'll
experienced in municipal legal
work. His appointment, without
political considerations. suggests a
promotion on the basis of a good
record. And if there ever has been
a time when a Peoples Counsel,
representing the public before the
Public Utilities Commission, can be
OF real service to Washingtonians,
that time is now.
The commission is hopelessly di-
vided, with the consistently dis
senting Mr. Hankin choosing to pur-
sue course which goes beyond the
expression of differing opinion
and reflects on the official integ-
rity Of his commission colleagues,
past and present. In addition, the
intercession of various Government
lawyers, who seem anxious to as
sumo the prerogatives of the COM
mission without its responsibilities
and without particular reference to
the interests of the community, has
helped complicate, to an extraor-
binary degree, the issues brought
before the commission for settle
ment.
In these circumstances, an active
and alert Peoples Counsel should
be of value to the commission and
to the local residents. He can help
to achieve the purpose of sound
regulation of public utilities-the
lowest rates possible consonant with
good service and a legitimately
healthy financial condition of the
utility companies. He can ini-
tiate Investigations, produce evi-
dence in behalf of the public and
make himself useful gadfy with
out prejudicing the functionirag of
the commission itself as an admin
istrative agency. u
The Star joins others in congratu-
lating Mr.. Lauderdale on his oppor-
tunity and wishing him the best
of luck

EcumenicuI Service

The universally of Christianity is
to be demonstrated at Washington
Cathedral this afternoon when the
Washington Federation OF Churches.
through its Committee on World
Council OF Churches, will conduct an
ecumenical service interdenomina-
tional, inter-racial and international
in its essential character. One in
dication of the variety of elements
involved in the sacred program may
be found in the fact that parts of it
are to be spoken in seven different
languages. Marching in the process
sion from the crypt to the great
choir there will be clergy and laitv
OF practically every Christian school
Of thought.
"Ecumenical," however, signifies
not divergence, but rather "the whole
household OF faith; and such is
the spiritual value-the quality of
being affiliated by nature-that Is
10 be stressed in today's divine
occasion. The federation is pledged
to the purposes of fellowship in ideal
ooJectives II not in identity of doc
trines. Something approximating
the motto of the United States-E
Pluribus Unum-is represented in
the concept. Without trespassinp
upon the individualistic preferences
OF worshipers, it offers the attrac-
ton which inspired the Psalmist to
exclaim: Behold how good and how
pleasant it is for brethren to dwell
together in unity!"
The ecumenical aspiration surely
deserves support in a time of world
wide turmoil. Now as much as in
his own tumultuous era, the injunc-
ton OF Edmund Burke is true:
When bad men combine, the good
must associate; else they will fall.
one by one, an unpitied sacrifice
in a contemplate struggle"

Wbats the Use.2
By the ReD. J. Herbert Garner,
Minister, Strth Presbyterian Church.;
Moderator, Washington city Presbytery.

whats the use?" so many people
ask. Everything seems to be so futile,
so utterly useless. We plan, and our
plans come to naught. We hope, and
our hopes are frustrated and blasted.
We pray, and we don't seem to get
the answer we want. We build and
then watch our labors swept, away by
the whimsical and the illogical. We
sacrifice and persevere, and find 1t all
to have been wasted or in vain. We
seek knowledge and pursue it, only to
see falsehood, prejudice, favoritism,
and caprice prosper beyond measure.
We play the game of life fairly and
see others violate and exploit the
rules of life with impunity. We are
considerate and forgiving, only to ex-
'perience hypocrisy, sham and. con-
tempt And so we go on, without
end.
You ask what's the use of trying,
and turn right around and ask you,
Whats the use of not trying?" DO

The Hunted Need HeIp

Once again President Roosevelt

be cruelty out of keeping with the
humanitarian instincts of the de-
