Upon the result depends the future progress and prosperity of the valley. It is time; wasted to argue the benefits and necessity of irrigation, it is self-evident. Experience; has amply demonstrated its need. Comparison with irrigated regions clinches the argument. The entire output of the valley is but. a fraction of what it should be, and will be, under irri gation. The contrast between the watered portions of the valley and the unwatered tell their own story. Without water, the man with large acreage; can eke out a living upon a small profit per acre but the man with small acreage cannot. With water, the small farmer can make a good income and the large land owner can multiply his profits. Without water, there is a depreciating and shrinking valuation and a loss of population. "With irrigation there is a. stableized and appreciating value for property, an in creasing demand for it and a steady growth in population and indust ries. Jt is the same story the world over, ' ("I ranting tin; need of irrigation, tjie only question to be considered is the method of iicinonsvrateu trie iailure or terpriscs and time has proven one satisfactory solution. The district plan is the; best operate tlieir own system. It is a co-operative affair. Favoritism between consumers is impossible. The burden J.'! i i mi 1 ... 11 ot. payment, is equalized. J every one must co-operate, and all share equally in its ben efits.- The few cannot profit nor can a lew Work Hie wellarc ot the community. The district plan is under state and federal supervision. Expenditures are made only upon the authorization of the land owners affected, and the distribution of funds amply safeguarded. Moreover, in the Rogue River valley, it is the only practical plan, as the cost per acre of securing the water is excessive unless the Saturday's election is for irrigation district and electing directors, who arc author ized to examine the various sources from which water can bt; secured and report to the district. Such an investiga tion, with preliminary expenses, is limited to a maximum expenditure of a dollar an acre. As a matter of fact, it win pronahiy cost not to exceed a filth ot tins amount. The plan, or several plans, agreed upon by the directors after their engineers report, are then submitted to the voters of the. district, and a majority vote is necessary for further procedure. Any person owning an acre of ground in the proposed district, as shown by last assessment role, is entitled to a vole, f Many oppose the district. plan because of opposition and prejudice to the 'Rogue River Canal company, a pri vate concern which has supplied the little water that, has been furnished lor irrigation. 1 ne district is to get away troni privately owned water sys tems and substitute a publicly owned water system. There are several available sources of water supply. The Medford district might combine with the Talent dis trict, if the project proved practical, and unite .in the con- M ruH ion ol a jonit irrigation could condemn and utilize the Canal company system all dependent upon the practicability of the project as demon strated by the engineer's reports in the future. Most of the opposit ion, however, comes from large land owners, who are satisfied with tlieir meagre returns and oppose progress, even if lack of water spells bankruptcy to the small laud owners. There is another and si ill more vilal feu lure to be con sidered and that is the creation of industries. The valley will lose the beet sugar industry, if the dis Irict plan is not adopted for the district offers the onlv hope of securing water, and profitable. The valley will payroll. The farmers will sugar neais or leasing tlieir at !p-'. an acre. Irrigation will mean, besides a beet sugar factory, a large cannery, employing many people. It will eventually mean many other industries, none of which will material ize until the vallev is under water. It will mean the stim ulation of the live stock industry and of dairying, convert unprolitaiile orchards into thnlible the lanuers yields, insure the cultivation of idlt lauds and increased population. ,1 he prosperity ol the city and the creation of an irrigation district is the first utt'i towards a greater Medford and restored property values A vote for the creation of an irrigation district is 11 ,.,,(,, i". ... .1 .c '.. a .... mic mi mi' n fill ion 01 prosperity. . vote against it is a vote lor continued hard tunes.
