INSULTING THE
T RESIDENT WILSON has
her ambassador to the
inter
itcrCermg in the internal relations of the nation hy con
)iring to cripple legitimate industries, "a flagrant viola
sprring
tion of diplomatic propriety."
Dr. Dumba served notice upon all Austrians employed
in factories making supplies for the allies that if they did
not quit work they would be guilty of treason and. subject
ot twenty years' imprisonment or hanging. In other words
the Austrian government, through its envoy, attempts to
supercede the United States
domestic affairs, declaring
country should be ruled by
the seas instead of tho American law.
Austria furnished money
corruption of labor leaders,
.tltcmpls to supercede American law in America by Aus
trian law, because the United States has followed historic
precedent and permitted the shipment of supplies o bel
ligerents regardless of nationality.
Not Dr. Dumba, but Austria, is to blame if the envov
was merely carrying out instructions of bin g""nimenf.
as ho asserts. IIis recall mav
by making him the ''goat" and prevnif ;i veiious breach
between the nations, but it docs not evusco) pn Ilia to Aus
trian arrogance.
But Dr. Dumba's admitted activities nn not a bit more
reasonable than the actions of the Ocmum embassy in in
terfering in the domestic relations of the United States by
conducting an extensive pro-German propaganda in en
deavoring to influence by corruption public opinion, in as
sailing the American government, in destroying munition
factories, financing strikes, crippling industry, creating
discord and fomenting disloyalty among naturalized Amer
icans. The only difference is that, while all trails lead to
tho Gorman embassy, Bernsdorff has not yet been ''caught
with the goods" as was Dumba.
The war-mad monavchs of Europe seem to think their
divine right to rule extends over the world and that Amer
ican citizens arc their serfs and the United States a vassal.
Otherwise they would not attempt to dictate the policy
l i r i
ucsireu in a lorcign nniion.
The actions of both Austria and Germany constitute an
invasion of American rights and an insult to the nation.
"Germany over all" docs not yet include the United Stales
FREEDOM OF THE
AMONG the peace proposals offered by Germany is the.
follewing:
An Intornntlonnl agrcomont on tho freedom of tho scnB guaranteeing
prlvato property at soa immuno from attack by naval forces.
Freedom of the sea sounds fine, but freedom of the land
is a great deal more important.
Only comparatively few live on the sea, while hundreds
of millions inhabit the land. The freedom of the hundreds
of millions to the land they utilize is of far more concern
to humanity than tho freedom of the sea.
It would be a fine thing
ucrmanv to have tho world guarantee its freedom on the
sea while it overran the land with its armies the ships of
its private citizens maintaining its commerce and feed
ing it.
When tho land is free from invasion by the conqueror,
when it becomes impossible to seize and dismember a Pol
and, to grab and tyrannize a Finland, to devastato and an
nox a Belgium, to invade and destioy a Transvaal republic,
it will bo timo to talk freedom of tho sea.
But evan freedom from invading tyranny docs not
spell freedom of the land. The land of Hungary, of Galicia,
of many other European countries is in the hands of an in
finilosmal portion of tho population owned by tho crown
or a worthless parasite nobility, liven in our own country
land monopoly and the withdrawal of land from use is one
of Jjic fundamental causes of tho povertv of the masses.

DISTRICT PLAN
HR
BIN
OPERATION IN STATE
DY O. IiAimUAAIlD,
Irrigation Engineer In Oregon Voter.
Tho Irrigation district Is nn out
growth of tho municipal Idea, nnd
when fully organized, constitutes a
legal subdivision of tho stato with
full power of self government and
ontrol In all mattors which pertain to
Irrigation, power nnd domestic water
supply and other general purposes.
) Judicial construction nnd as in
terpreted by tho courts, these dis
tricts aro now hold to bo municipal
corporations and are treated In a
similar manner with school districts,
Incorporated towns, counties nnd
other public municipal corporations.
The legnl authorities on water
rights and Irrigation pbscrvo and
maintain that tho Irrigation District
Laws aro now promulgated nnd in
actual use, aro, in theory, tho most
perfect of tho Irrigation laws In com
mon practice
Gaining in Favor
Tho irrigation district Idea has
been gaining In favor for tho past
fow years, principally on account ot
tho falluro ot tho Carey Act and
loss of confldcnco In prlvato Irriga
tion enterprises by tho investing pub
lic. Tho district laws havo boon modi
fied nnd Improved to Includo tho
fundamental principles ot law, such
as
( 1 ) Providing of security for tho
necessary construction nnd mainte
nance ot a project; and,
(2) For tho management, through
cortnln legnl clmnnols ot tho muni
cipal corporation.
Thorough Investigation
No project, howovor, will bo n suc
cess unless It Is considered nnd In
vestigated from not only nn engi
neering nnd financial standpoint, but
tho agricultural possibilities must
also rccclvo duo consideration. Tho
engineering difficulties and rouulro
monts tokothcr with tho construc
tion and mnlntonnnco cost must bo
vory closely Invcttlgacd, and tho char
acter ot tho land, tho sourco of water
supply nnd quantity, tho valuo of tho
land nnd tho form ot tltlo under
which It is held must bo considered
ns well.
Operating i:pciiMs
After n project has been success
fully constructed nnd placed In oper
ation, tho actual management of tho
system, tho Interost on tho bonds nnd
nil other acual expenses nro paid
by annual assessments which nro pro
rntcd to tho land ownors according
to tho benefits received. Tho district
officials aro given nmulo power to
carry out nil tho purpoits for which
thoy woro orgnnlzcd; nnl In tho fail
ure of tho district officials to collect
tho necessary assessments, tho propor
county officials must perform tho
neglected duty.
In this manner tho bondholder or
Investor Is absolutely suro of his in
terest when due, especially when tho
lnnds within tho district nro held
In prlvato ownership and owned Ju
small tracts.
Plan n Sound One
Tho general plan nnd theory of
the irrigation district law is n sound
one, nnd whorover thoy havo been
tested, thoy havo been upheld by tho
courts In almost al Icssontlal features.
Tho bonds issued by tho districts aro
also sound ns security, and not open
to quostiou whoro tho regularity and
validity ot tho acts ot tho district
and tho Issuo ot tho bonds havo bcou
confirmed by tho courts, under pro
ceedings brought for that purpose
Tho Irrigation district laws ot Ore
gon and Washington nro now so mod
(fled that they nro satisfactory to
tho officials ot tho reclamation eor
vlco nnd tho dopartmon of tho in
erlor, who, nt tho present time, nro
willing to accept district .bonds in
certain localities in payment for water
from government rcsorvoirs built
with govornmont funds.
On ncount of their splendid fp
curity, tho prices for which district
bonds may bo sold havo boon limited
by law to nlnoty por cent of tholr
par value, but on projects which havo
boon constructed and aro now in op.
oration, tho bonds nro negotiated at
a flguro vory nonr par.
Oaivy Ait l'wjerts

success of tho project is not depend
ent on tho salo ot tho land; tho cost
of tho water is pro rated according
to tho benefits received; nnd, in con
trast to tho projects built under pri
vate enterprises or under tho Carey
Act, tho cost of tho irrigation sys
tem need not bo paid until aftor tho
expiration of at least ton years, pro
vided tho Interest Is paid when duo.
Tho irrigation district laws nro
vory similar to thoso governing tho
drnlnngo district of tho nouthorn
states along tho Mississippi river.
Tho bonds Issued by thoso drain
ago districts havo a ready market In
tho financial circles of tho east, and
nro easily Bold above par.
This condition should also exist
with tho irrigation district bonds
after tholr worthlnows lias bcon dem
onstrated nnd tho irrigation businoss
placed on tho substantial footing
which it dosorvos.
Under certain conditions it would
npepar feasible nnd nttrnctlvo for
lnrgo contractors to build Irrigation
district projects and accept bonds ns
payment.
Whon tho nssosscd valuation of
tho district closely approximates tho
amount ot tho bond Issuo, it would
scorn that thoro should bo no gront
difficulty for n largo contractor to
hypothocato tho bonds with his bank
or financial Institution, ns collateral,
to securo sufficient funds to carry on
tho work.
This would npponr nil tho moro
ronBonnblo nt tho present timo, when
It Is consldorod that largo contract

inery and equipment, as well ns n
lnrgo nmountof stock, lying idlo

Kurthormoro, when tho proposed
works havo boon estimated on u
consorvatlvo basis, It Is believed that
a comparatively small proportion ot
the par valuo of the bonds would bo
sufficient to build tho projoct whon
such ltoms ns discount on tho bonds,
contractor's profit, contingencies,
plant charge, etc., nro eliminated
from tho amounts nocossnry for con
struction, nnd whon theso items aro
fully provided for to tho contractor .
