IRRIGATION A
FARMERS and ordiardists wlu admit that they cannot
ill dry years make fanning profitable, and some of
whom in consequence have engaged in more iMol'itablo en
terprises elsewhere, are opposing the district dan of irri
gation which would enahle those whose all is invested in
their farms, to increase their output, despite climatic vag
aries, and make nionev.
The district plan is not onlv
tical, but the most equitable.

ers themselves to manage their water system. Nor is it
just that tne lew siioulcl stand in the way or tne progress
of the niiinv, for as long as thev are permitted to, we never
will have irrigation. .
It would seem that the experience of the last three
years should have convinced everyone of the need of irri
gation. Ve are shipping JTrtM) ears of fruit, -when with
water we should ship 5000. Only the sugar beets grown
under irrigation are profitable, and a factory waits on
irrigation. Alfalfa yields are more than doubled by irri
gation. Corn and grain yields are increased, vegetables
and garden truck are dependent upon water.
irrigated fruit belts are profitable. Non-irrigated are
not. Irrigated sections have many times the output of
non-irrigated. Irrigation removes the gamble from fann
ing, and water in semi-arid districts is worth more than
land. On land now under water this year in many eases
the increased crop more than paid the cost of the water.
J t is easy to blame the president for times being hard in
Hie Rogue River valley when they are good everywhere
else but. times will never be permanently better, no mai
ler who is in the white house, until the valley, is under
water. Ve ourselves, not the government, are to blame for
the predicament we find ourselves in. And the solution
of our trouble lies solely with ourselves.
The land-owners at least the working laud-owners
realize that water is a necessity and are endeavoring to
provide their own salvation. No obstacles should be placed
in their way. (Jive them the opportunity,
THE MILITIA FAILURE
THAT the federalized militia is a failure as
of defense for the nation is conclusively
border experiences.
Retween July 20 and October - there were ?oo resig
nations of commissioned militia officers accepted, .and
several times this number tendered, although nothing like
a real war has been encountered oulv border protection
duty.
The pay of militia offieeix ordered to the front is the
same as the pay of regular army officers so that the ex
cuse of poverty does not hold.
Ihe men in the ranks, with lannlies to support, have
valid excuses for wanting to quit, but the enlisted men
cannot resign, while the commissioned officers can.
The militia officers, the first to desert, demanded of
congress that the militia be given the honor of defending
the nation, and incidentally commensurate pay and in
creased allotments of supplies. Thev succeeded in being

the front many without proper equipment and in some
cases witiiout tooii. i lie militia oi lifers Had somehow
made away with millions of dollars' worth of federal sup
plies. Nine per cent of their officers quit.
One thing the border trouble has demonstrated, and
that is that some other force than the militia must be de
pended upon for national protection.
