The election is the most important ever held in the valley, as it marks the culmination of years of agitation created hy shortage in production and the realization that the remedy consists in supplying the deficiency of nature. In a valley surrounded hy abundant treams of water, with land held at high prices, we present the curious spec tacle of losing our crops year after year through not having intelligence enough to utilize, our resources. The cheapest, most economical and satisfactory way to secure water is under the district or community plan, where all share its cost and reap its benefits. It has worked successfully elsewhere and has proven a much more satis factory system than where the water is individually pur chased from private corporations. Tin.1 formal ion of the district which the land owners vote upon is juere'Jv a preliminary in the creation of the district.' Jt is the first step in directors are empowered to and study sources and cost AYhen the directors have decided niton the proposition to be submitted to the land owners ol the district, another election is held and the proposition accepted or rejected. The elect ina Wednesday to any partnership with the concern. It merely starts procedure to place the land unuer water, nnu most or me against, irrigat ion. Stripped of animosities, the question to be decided is progress by making it possible to increase production, or wnetner we are content to mark time or retrograde hy pro ducing insul I icient ly to support our population. In an article on the ''Progress of Irrigation" in the Literary Digest, of December the findings of the com mittee of the ( 'handlers of onnnorce of the Tinted States state that "practically all agricultural products can be grown more successfully on irrigated lands than other wise. " Following are pertinent points of tho report: Moro than that, thn itvnraKn production of nlinoHt every agricultural product on irrigated la mitt iwends th.it oT non-irriKuttd lands by 10 to iiu Mr cent.

The fanner is no lonKor up against thn forces of nature, for the rule of his venture lies almost entirely in bin own hands, nis real problem is to find an adequate market for his pro ducts, and to overcome the handicaps of cosily and 1hk transportation. Ilo has done this with success by applying the principle of co-operation and hy judicious und unceasing advnrtivinn, establishing in the very bo ;;!nnlnK a reputation for the quality of his products. "So In our tlnvs we are building in our arid regions an empire of ir rigalinn that embodies the spirit of pVtigressive democracy. It is no mere act blent that Irrigated nylons have sot the pace in all manner of intelli gent agricultural production and distribution. Nor is it by blind chance that in the main the states of Irrigation are among the lowest in illiteracy1 ' and the source and mainstay today of most of the reforms in our social, economic, and political life, l-'or irrigation is that wonderful thing, the creation or life from death, and mal.ing glad the waste places of the earth." f SEEK LASTING PEACE (Continued From rage One.) lal forces, which are highly organized but wo are engaged In a great con flict upon the result or which de pends our great ideals.

Taking Into consid eration all the consequences of our decision 1 say that now as in August 1014, both liaticns are presented with the choice as between honor and infamy. The choice is more sacred now as the cause has been sealed by the blood of our heroic dead.
