REJECTION of (lie Austrian peace proposal Ity the
president, was to have been exported! No peace
proposal should receive any consideration by the allies
with ihe central powers unpunished and in possession of
their loot. Any negotiated peace is but a truce in the war
and no negotiations are possible with a conscienceless,
faithless government whose plighted word is only a scrap
of paper to be torn up at will.
War has proved a profitable venture to the nations
instigating it. As long as the criminals go unpunished
and retain their loot, there can be no permanent peace.
Nations deliberately plunging the world into a whirlpool
of bloodshed, devastation find dest miction must pay the,
penalty.
Germany, the destroyer of civ ilization, and the en
slaver and exploiter of peoples, must experience the ruin
she brought to France Jelgium, Serbia, and Russia. Ger
many must be made to suffer the horrors of invasion she
has inflicted upon the innocent. She must be taught by
bitter experience, that in this day and age, she cannot re
peat the exploits of the barbarian conqueror and get a way
wit h it. She must learn, in sack-cloth and ashes, that war
and murder, rapine and robbery does not pay.
The peace terms of the allies have been clearly stated.
There is nothing to discuss with the enemy. The Ilohcn
zollern and tho'Hapsburg and all their accursed remnants
of feudalism, all their panoply of militarism, all their op
pression ot peoples, all their subjugation ot little nations,
their exploitation of the weak and their enslavement of
the conquered, must go.
The wrongs committed against human' must be
righted as far as it is possible to right them. The loot
must be disgorged and returned to its rightful owner and
the bill tor the maniacal dance, of militarism paid.
When the people of the central empires show that they
really want peace by overthrowing their mad rulers and
repudiating the doctrine that might is right the time
to discuss peace will have arrived.
All peace offensives of the' central powers are instigated
lv tlie desire ol the rulers to save their crowns and retain
their profit Thev are all insincere and hypocritical and
designed to deceive their own r eorile and cause division in
the ranks of the allies. Hut his bloody offensives on the
western front they will all be futile.
There ought to be no pence and we hope there will be
no peace until the Yanks enter J5erlin and the Germans as
a people have had such a dose ol war that they will in the
future hang any one who advocates 'it. , ,
THE BELGIAN OFFER.
GERMANY'S offer for a separate peace to IJelgium,
whereby the kaiser offers to withdraw his troops
providing Helgium remains neuatral for the balance of the
war, but offering no indemnity for wrongs committed and
robberies perpetrated, for citizens tortured and massacred
and civilians starved and enslaved,, is characteristicly
German full of that niegalonianical tact anil insolence
that has cursed the German tis a ruler.
It would be very nice of course, if the Belgians would
kindly agree to close their country to prevent an allied
invasion of Germany and the liberation of Belgians from
servitude to the lluu. The kaiser could then shorten his
front to defend the Luxemburg gateway and the Whine
until such time as he wanted to strike the alljes in their
flank when the new treaty would become a scrap of pa
per like the old.
If Belgium should agree to the kaiser's peace proposal.
Germany would have profited bv the violation of Belgium
(f-Hk'MHIO.OOO in cash in addition to the food she has stolen.
the industrial plants she has looted, the materials she
has pilfered, and the labor she has enslaved. This $!()."),-
000,0(10 represents indemnities collected up to last Novem
ber ii'oin Belgium since largely increased, and is in ad
dition to enormous "fines"' imposed upon Belgian cities
and confiscatory exactions from persons and firms far
exceeding in total the 'indemnities."
During 1i)t."i and 191H the Germans exacted from Bel
gium an indemnity of 10 million francs (8,000.000) a
mouth "for the expenses of administration." At the be
ginning of 1917, however, the Huns found that, while
Belgian industry was paralyzed, the banks still had plenty
of cash on hand, so they raised the indemnity from -10 mil
lion to (it) niillionranes l-'.OOO.OOO) a month, which the
little country has been paying ever since.
Kvery house in Belgium has been raided for metals,
hardware, and anything else of value. All metal coins
have been stolen ami the only gold and silver, or copper
or iron that remains is what lias been secreted under the
uroiind. Nothing has been overlooked to impoverish
Belgium.
And now the kaiser offers a separate peace, if the
Belgians will only call the account squared and betrav
their allies by barring the doors to Germany. Aud does
he tor a minute think that the little nation will submit.
...i..... ..ii . c .i. . it i i i

has been unable to crush the Belgian spirit which, robbed
of country ami countrymen, of property and possessions.

The bond buyers will pass upon the
desirability of tho bonds from every
point of view. All these committees
must be satisfied that 'it can be done
for J73 per acre.
Wlhat will happen to the Mogue
River valley after the war if we do
not vote the bonds?
A community must either progress
or go back. We have been going
back. After the war hundreds of
thousands of acres in other districts
will be under Irrigation and our
young men and women will never re
turn here but will go whore they can
ma ko a good living surrounded iby
other people who are doing the same.
Why should there be any opposi
tion to the M. I. D.?
There are those who are ignorant
who will not take the troublo to
learn. There are thoso who are op
posed lo any clmngo and who will not
open their eyes. There are those
whoso best Interests are served by
living In a community which is hard
up. There aro those who are lazy
und who say: I scrabble along, why
should 1 vote for something which
will make my moro industrious neigh
bor prosperous. There aro those who
are timid and who fear Unit they will
lose what they have. The best an
swer to them, one and all is to point
to the hundreds of districts all over
tho west whero irrigation is prac
ticed and to urge them to measure
Iho difference lietweon a continued
prosperity and what they know to lie
tho cuse In the Rogue River valley.
There has not been a flnsle visitor in
our valley who has not answered the
question: "What Is the matter with
our valley?" otherwise than saying
"You noed irrigation." They can not
all of them bo either wrong or dls
honost. '
What can I do to help carry the
bond election of September 3Slh?
1. Do not full to voto yes.
2. It there is nnythlag you do not
know find out about it.
3". If you hear nay statements
that aro untrue correct them.
4. Learn all you can about the
project by a visit to tho Irrigation
office and spread tho truth.
5. Talk the projoot over with
your neighbors and business friends.
t. Open your eyes and learn what
every progressive farming community
In the west Is doliiK to make ready
for -tho boys when they come homo
from llerlin.
Your board of directors Is capable
and honest. Do not tlo their hands
at this time. A volo for tho bonds Is
a voto of confidence A vote against
the bonds is of such serious nature
that no ono should cast It until he
has made such a painstaking Investi
gation of the project. Dy voting Yes
you allow I'nclc Sum to decldo If he
wants our Increased food product by
voting No you decide this question
for your country. ,
Tho food administration repeats.
"Food will win the war." It Is a fuel
that today the Rogue Kiver valley
Imports much ot its food products
from oulslde. Willi all of the advan
tages which we enjoy here Is that a
condition of affairs to awaken the
prldo In our community? The quota
for Jackson county In tho fourth Lib
erty Loan has been cut tlown because
wo are not a prosperous community.
With tho prevailing high price of

foodstuffs It would seem as If we
should make money. There is not a
man or woman In the -Medford Irri
gation district who has not seen
scores of our most progressive citi
zens depart. And why? Because with
all of our advantages, our climate,
our splendid citizenship, our soils,
our schools, and churches, and towns,
they can not make a living here.
They can not make a living here be
cause they cannot produce enough.
They can not produce enough .because
during tho growing season we are
an arid country and an arid country
must have irrigation.
The officers of the M. I. D. have
given unstinted time and thought to
this matter and now they have come
before you with one request:
Spend a littlo time studying over
what has been done. Do not vote
blindly Yes or No but be fair to your
selves, to your community and to
your country. .
