VOTE FOR
SATl'K'DAY the Iniul-owncrs of the Medfnrd district
vote upon the creation of an irrigation district. 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

Favoritism between consumers is impossible. The burden

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.

lU-.KUN', Sept. lli-The miniating
committee of Ibe (icrinan social de
mocracy lias issued a condensed re
port which is to he submitted to tile
party's convention at Wur.ber next
month. The record covers the tliree
years ending Marcii 111. 1
The outstanding I'ealure of the rec
ord is the appalling1 drop in the
party's active membership. On
March 31, 1014, this numbered
1,085,000. In March of this year the
membership wns but 2)3,000.
The report Bays that nt llio out
break of the war half 1 ho male mem
bership of the party was culled In I lie
colors, and that since then fully !
per iccnt of the party's roll ineuihei'S
have' been drafted. The rupture in
the party's ranks brought on by the
defection of independents also lias
been responsible for tbe loss of mem
bers. Three years n.!;o Hie parly counted
174,750 women members, und now
this number hns decreased to C0,500.

Unmoved by Governor Loudon's
warning' that nnti-Aincrii'nn influ
ences were nt work, the Industrial
tic-np growing out ol the street car
strike became more acute today when
barbers, grocery clerks, brewery
workers and meat cullers joined the
strikers.
In cverj ense those who linvpjWnlk
ed out declared their action not
primurily in sympathy with the car
strike, but because police, iind mili
tary authorities had denied unionists
I heir right to parade last Sunduy.
Estimates placed the number now
on strike at between ,7000 nnd 8000,
