F tlit" masses of the people arc willing to figlil for the
count rv, the possessors of great wealth should he will
ing to pay the cost. 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.

A crystal glass humidor jar containing one pound of
Tuxedo, the mildest, most fragrant tobacco. 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. Me
will be glad to set your
jar aside for you until
Christmas.
