Are we going to supinely sit oy nnu say, -un, won, ir you don't approve, we're not going to fight you, we can stand It if you can." What's tn uuoi uet nu organisation that win v'ome right out flntfooted for an irrigation uistrict that will get some where and Tin- Tlimw.ltnnilil will oln In for its success. We must got together. If It hurls somo people, let it hurt. We can't let the country go to th dogs Just because It Is go ing to tread on thu toes of some one.
