If the present tax- level is retained and new expenditures are kept down, the turn has come hi the tide of g6vernment financing,.-the . secretary asserted. Although filrther Issues of treasury ff-tificates of Indebtedness may be expected they will be redeemed through the sale of new issues of certificates for the first time since late In 1917. ., As indicative of progress made by tho treasury .Mr. Glass pointed to re ductions bet-ween September 1 and January 1 in- the nation's gross debt and in the two classes of certificates of indebtedness outstanding. The frross debt which on September 1 was J2fi,696,701.648, was $25,837,078,807 on .January 1. Reduction fn the floating debt (un matured treasury certificates of In debtedness) of $622,653,250 has been made since September1 l, leaving the totiil outstanding obligations of this nature at $3, 578, 485, 800 on January 1. A reduction of .?6S5,726,500 was re ported for the same period In the outstanding so-called' loan certifi cates, leaving $1,326,661,000 of these yet to be funded. The loan certificates outstanding January 1 were of issues maturing January 2, January 15, February . 2 and February 6. All of these, the secretary said, have been or will be paid'out of cash on hand January 1, or from the proceeds of sales of tax certificates. Mr. Glass believes this indicates success for the treasury's plan to avoid further large funding operations and for financing the un funded portions of the war debt.

MEDFORD, Or, Jan. 11 (Special.) After three years of. investigation and an expenditure of nearly $30,000 the Medford irrigation' district reports that the only feasible source of water is from the Rogue River Canal com pany at $125 per acre. Two projects were tentatively de cided upon by the direotcs of the dis- The first was abandoned , when meas urements snowed the storage supply insufficient, and the second when the sensational rise in construction costs made it impossible.' . Although the district directors have been subjected to severe criticism by the anti-irrigationists and 'although the results of their three years' work are discouraging, the general senti ment of property owners in the valley Is that the money was well spent in determining once and for all Jackson county's water resources. Pat Welch of Spokane and Seattle, owner and president -of the Rogue River Canal company, has offered the Medford district water for 10,000 acres at a cost of $115 an acre. The dis trict chares would bring the total cost to $125. , This reduces the orig inal district frOm 30,000 to 10,000 acres and raises' the expected cost from $75 to $125. This is a high price and the' direc tors have therefore left the question to a referendum of property owners before- any definite action is taken. Fruit growers, it is said, are anxious to get water at almost any price, but grain and alfalfa farmers are in a dif ferent position and the district in' eludes many of the latter. The result of the referendum will be known In a few days. Vernon Association to Meet. The January meeting of the Ver not Parent-Teacher association will be held at the schoolhouse tomorrew at 3 P. M.

They have armies and navies, cannon, trains, horses, gold unlimited. They own and control governments, kings, presi dents, congresses, chmrches- and col leges. They would have thousands or tens of thousands slaughtered so that they can own Mexico and her riohes, crush the tendencies toward bol shevism here, wipe out the taxes on their oil and their mines, ami punish the Mexican people for refusing to participate In the late war. "The scattered and occasional bandit " tribe's in the isolated moun tain aryl desert parts of Mexico now and then rob somebody, and, in rr.e instances, commit murder, but their crimes much as we deplore them "-do not cause o,nemillionth part of the suffering thai;' another war would cause.' i- "It has been proved that most of these. bandits are either supported by foreign financial Interests who want 'banditry as an excuse for interven tion in Mexico, or else buy their guns from other foreign Interests that were willing to coin profits off the atrbcU ties of thugs and thieves. Appeal Made to Comrades. "The Mexican proletariat has no problems that the Mexican proletariat cannot solve.. Alone and unaided it overthrew" the modern Nero, Porftrio Diaz, and wrote a liberal constitution. Alone and unmolested by alien armies. it can rise above the impediments of 300 years of bondage and into the full enjoyment of economic liberty. "We- appeal to you. our comrades in Other lands, .o help prevent this crime that the ' imperialistic Caligu las and Herods of the world seek to commit. "Prevent a declaration of war if ydu can. If you cannot prevent the dec laration, preven the consummation. Refuse to fight- Get others to do the same. Without wdrkers to do the masters' vile bidding, without soldiers to obey the brutal orders", there can be no war. Act now. Agiiate, write, speak, publish and strike. Communi cate with us as to ways 'and means. (Signed) "Communist Party of Mexico, Mexi co City." X'TKfi to Revolt. Another article captioned "The Ne gro and War With Mexico" is an- ap peal to the negroes of the United States to revolt against the govern ment at Washington. AmOng other things it states that the 'American negroes, constituting the. most ' miser-r able and oppressed element of the American proletariat, have.racial rea sons as well as economic ones for Immediate preparedness, not for further military service, but to pre vent it. They are not unaware of this. "The negro has had a sleeping sick ness of many centuries, induced, first by the vitiating tendencies of chattel slavery, but made even worse under the wage slavery tnartollowed eman cipation. The negro Is not sleeping. He will fight no ftiore wars for his tormentors and tyrants." , "American capitalism is afraid of bolshevism in Mexico, that is why it wants' intervention," rune another Ar ticle published in Mexico City. American Capital Rapped. ' "Mexico is fertile soil for soviet seeds to be sown in. Capitalism knows this and intends to take no chances. Left to themselves, these ''barbarous' Mexican peons, just" coming Into a dim kind of class consciousness, may communize all industry, land and wealth. Under a protectorate of Wall street and Wall street's government in Washington, there will be no such difficulty. If the Mexicans get, any such crazy notions in their heads a few regiments of soldiers and a ju dicious use of machine guns will elim inate the said notions in short order. It ie obvious that such a country must be annexed and its people looked after by American guardians. "American capitalism would use some other excuse if there were no oil tax at all. It wants to get con trol of Mexico before the soviet Rus sia appears right under Wall street's very nose. Any kind of a reason will do, but there must be intervention be fore the various radical tendencies in Mexico. which have been permitted pretty free reign Under Carranza begin to assume too definite form."

"The attitude, of Secretary of the Treasury Luis Cabrera has also been very unsatisfactory to Wall street," the article continued. After defending Cabrera's attitude in the Jenkins case, the article adds: "Cabrera was asked by1 a newspaper man if he did not think bolshevik agitators should be sent out of Me'xi co. He replied: 'No,' and added that bolshevism was-. -an ideal economic system, although it could not be in troduced in Mexico at present." After praise for the liberal atti tude of Secretary of the Interior Ber langa, the article continues: . Bolnltevllc Trndenrr Seen. ' "The average Mexican is potentially a bolshevik. About the only ones who balk are the scions of the Diaz regime who are stilt nursing their wrath because their old-time conces sions were taken away from them.

"The reason for infervention in Mexico is fear of bolshevism.: The result of intervention if it is at tempted will be revolution In the United States." Eugene Lodges Install. EUGENE, Or, Janv 11.

"China Is very friendly toward America," continued Rev. Mr. Day. "The people realize that American aid is not given with a view to foster ing selfish motives a fact which will help this country greatly in trading with them.
