Mr. Editor:
The Tiber Dam on the Marias Riv-
Ell and its irrigation distribution sys-
TEN, are estimated to cost not less
than 500 per acre. Figure it for
yourself, taking Bureau of Reclama-
ton figures for it. They are as fol-
lows:
Tiber Dam 27,0OO,00O
Distribution System 29,0O0,OOO
Total $50, 100000
Now divide this total by the $4,000
acres it is proposed to irrigate and you
have 500 per acre. AS matter of
fact, if projects constructed in the
past are any criterion, land to be
irrigated is always over estimated and
costs always under estimated. If cost
goes to $65, 100000 which is almost
certain, and acreage drops to 10000
acres, we have $3.50 per acre and it
could just as easily be $1,000.
Another fact that is even more
staggering, the 100000 for every man
woman and child under it, or about
$4,000 for every family There are
All land owners to be benefited. All
figures quoted are derived from fig
ures released by the Bureau of Rec
lamation.
Now what is irrigation worth to
these lands? They are now worth as
non-irrigated wheat lands,
at least $50 per acre. Unimproved |
land that is, land with water but no |
other improvements, is considered |
high priced at 500 per acre in this
area. The Marias Project then, may
add about $40 per acre in value to
these lands at a cost of $500 and |

more, would not be considered justi-

REVOLUTION
By JOHN McGUFFEY, Roman

| bY JOf1N MCd Ut u hOIdH
Our State Department and about
all of our commentators and column
nists apparently are working on the
assumption that communism is con-
spiracy, masterminded by the Polit-
buro in Moscow. They seem to think
that it is the agents of this con-
spiracy that are stirring up the
wars and civil disturbances in Ko-
rea, Indo-C China, Malaga, the Philip
pines and in all the other places
where civil strife occurs. This is the
enemy that must be fought, they say
They are now making the United
Nations into an instrument to sup
press these movements everywhere.
Another view was presented by Rog-
er Babson a few years ago when he
wrote in his syndicated column that
the trouble with our world today is
due to the fact that we are passing
through one of the periodic revolu-
tionary cycles which occur every two
or three hundred years. He said it
started in 1917 when the Russian
revolution occurred and that it might
continue for fifty years or more. He
said that neither Democrats nor Re
publicans could prevent it from COM
ing to America.
A Wrong Diagnosis
| believe that history and the con-
ditions in our world today make his
diagnosis essentially correct Unless
a doctor is able to make a correct
diagnosis and treat the patient for
the correct ailment, his services are
more than useless. 1t seems to me
that our State Department has made
a wrong diagnosis.
We must remember that our de-
mOcracy and most of our freedoms
have been achieved by revolutions;
the American revolution, the French
revolution, the English revolution and
the wars of the Protestant reforma-
ton. 1t was these revolutionary wars
that broke the grip of the feudal
landlords and transferred the ruling
power to the middle classes, the bus
mess men. But these revolutionary
were confined to West
ern European peoples. The colonists
carried these ideas to North Ameri-
ca and Australia where they formed
the foundation for our democracies.
the rest of the world the
feudalistic landlord system held com
plete sway until the Russian revolu-
ton in 1917. The news of how the
Russian peasants and workers over
threw this system of landlordism and
has slowly sprea d
the masses of all these
backward countries.It is the hope for
a better life that is firing them with
revolut ionary fervor. 1t is this spirit
that gives power to these movements. |
If you want good description of |
What is happening in the world to-
lay | suggest that you look up the
,oem "The Man With the Hoe" by
edwin Markham, written some sew
nty years ago. Here is the last stan
a:
Oh masters, lords and rulers in all

BY CLYDE MITCHELL


The following is an abstract of an
address made before the Kiwanis
club of Lincoln, Neb The author is
chairman of the department of agri-
cultural economics at the University
of Nebraska. For two years, 1916 to
1948, he served as head of the ma
tional land administration in Korea.
He aided in the distribution to ten
ants of 100000 acres of the country's
best farm land taken from japanese
landlords. Reactionary Korean land
lords who owned three fourths of all
farm land, refused to finish the land
reform program started by Mitchell
and other American officials.
The world did not need the pres
ent war to recognize that agreement
between the United States and the
Soviet Union, at any rate during
the next few years, is impossible.
But remember when we lay the blame
for this, that each party in fact must
share it. Widely differing aims, in
terests, and ideologies are to a great
measure responsible. Remember that
fact, in this time of crisis, when for
reasons o f misguided patriotism
Americans seem called on to preach
that anything the USSR does is all
bad and anything the United States
does is perfect
Recognition of the unhappy situa-
ton of world crisis does not mean
that we in the non-Soviet world must
fold our hands and wait for atomic

launch preventative attack now,"
as some hysterical opinioneers are
favoring. There remains a great OPP
portunity to work for peace and |

A letter from a masculine
reader:
Dear Mrs. Lowman:
Several years ago I wrote you
asking for a diet which would de-
feat bad colds. You sent me a
diet list and wrote at the bot
tom of the leaflet. You should
find a pretty dietitian and marry
her. Later I was in an Army
and Navy hospital and I told a
pretty nurse what you said. She
replied, You've got something
there! You are at your destina-
ton now! What is your income?'
However, before we could mar
ry. some huskies came in q Red
Cross car and snatched me and
took me to another hospital be-
fore I knew what was going on!
I wrote the dietitian for a diet,
but she did not reply. It must
have been me or nothing"
think the dietitian missed the
boat!
When it comes to preventing
colds. the very best protection lies
in fine physical condition. We
are almost constantly in contact
with cold germs but we usually
get q cold when we are at low ebb
from loss of sleep or fatigue. There
