The cost of preparedness should he borne by the rich, and not wrung from the poor. Inherit ance and income taxes should furnish the money. To enforce this propaganda, "the Rational Defense League" has been organized at the nation's capital, with a national membership. The league's platform is summar ized as follews: (1) Taxation of the tlrh lnsteitl of tlio poor for preparedness, by In heritance and liicomo tnxen, (ill aovornment manufacture of all munitions of wnr, CI) conorwulon and development by the government Itselfvof ail nntlonnl resources of timber, oil, coal, inlnomls, water power, etc, for na tional defense, I I) creation of a tominlBslon to stttdv thu possibility of ni? oaJve war bv foreign nations against tho I'nlted States and to propobt a plnn of mutual co-operation between tho republics of North and Soutli America, a ml f) tho submission of an advisory lofeicndum to the people, men and women, whenever possible liafore a declaration of war Is niado. The league's proposals arc sound common sense. They would accomplish in advance for the, nation what the necessities of war have already accomplished in the bel ligerent countries. To them should be added a compre hensive plan I'm mobilization of industry and control of food supplies, for putting into effect immediately upon the declaration of war, thus saving time, money and possible distress and disaster. The deficiency in the nation's revenues is caused bv the war. Those who are profiting bv the war should; help share its cost to the nation. Millions are being .made by munition plants, and these millions should be taxed rather than the pennies of the poor. A half a billion is the initial cost of the preparedness program, which means sf'o apiece from every man, woman and child. Half of the wage-earning heads of families earn less than 500 a year, and preparedness means a tax of 5 nor cent or more upon the incomes of those who will also have to do the fighting a most unjust and unpatriotic program.

TIIKIMO has never been a time in the history of the val ley, in recent years, when there was as 'little moist ure in the soil as at present. Only enough rain has fallen to moisten (ho surface. Tho water table is lower than ohh Hi is tho midrilo of December and there exists a 50 per cent shortage, not 'only in the year's precipitation, but in the seasonal rainfall. Should these conditions continue, farmers and orchardists face another dry year. The only salvation for the valley will be irrigation. The Rogue River Canal company, which has spent $100,000 the past year in constructing storage reservoirs in the moun tains, and is spending as much more enlarging and ex tending its canals, stands ready to make further exten sions, provided enough of the land-owners sign up enouglr land for irrigation to justify the extension. A twenfy yoar contract, on easy tonus, is offered. As it is, several thousand more acres will be under irri gation the coming year, but ten times the acreage should be added. It will be, provided the land-owners realize their opportunity, for the company stands ready to go ahead with its program. Time is growing short. If water is to be placed on the land for the coming year, construction work must be ! spcodih under way. Soon it will be too late to assure next ' year s crop, regardless of the season's vagaries A word to the wise is sufficient. Now is the time lot action. If ou want water, sign up and secure it.

At every store where tobacco products are sold. Last Christmas more Jars of Tuxedo were given to men through out the United States than any 'other single trade-marked article! Because Americans are learning to make suitable gifts at Christ mas time and learning that Tuxedo is the best gift of all for a man. Tuxedo is the mildest, pleasantest pipe tobacco in the world made absolutely non-biting and delightfully mellow by the original "Tuxedo Process" that has never been success fully imitated. Last Christmas the demand forTuxedohumi dor jars was so great that the supply of many deal ers was exhausted, and thousands of people were disappointed. - The safe plan is to place your order with your dealer now.
