We are printing elsewhere In this lsaae' of the Herald the argument of O. "W." Offleld against the Klamath Ir rigation District Joining in th'e suit to test thelegallty of the contract ,between the Reclamation Service and the California-Oregon Power compa ny. Keep thia argument on. file, as it will be referred to and analyzed from day to day, and you will need it tor , comparison. This question is of as much inter est to the people of Klamath Falls as It is to the people living on the pro ject, because this city is an interest ed ' party. It has rights under the j project just the same as the farmer, and the disposition of this power is as Vital to every resident of Klamath Falls, as It Is to them. Today we will take up the "First" reason that Mr. Offleld advances why the land owner should vote against it: In this Mr. Offleld undertakes to befog the question by making it ap pear that It Is. the Contract between .the .district and the reclamation ser vice that is at issue. This contract Is not the one to be tested.. It is 'the contract given by the government to the power company. He saysr "The t proposition was fully presented to the stockholders and a copy of this paper mailed to each voter, ' together with a copy- of the proposed contract.!' That is true, but Mr. Offleld has not told the whole story. After the matter was presented to the land owners, during which time there wasjictthing said about the separation ' frpra'Ahe project 'of the power that the farmers had bought and paid for, Mr. Offleld and his co-directors passed a resolution setting out how this con tract had J been voted by the people .how they understood that it meant the elimination of the power feature, and then to sew them up tight, put in the following damnable provisien: "THAT THE BOARD OF DIREC TORS EXECUTE THE .SAID CON TRACT. UNDERSTANDING FULLY THAT UNDER THE SAID CON ' TRACT THE MAXIMUM AMOUNT .DID NOT - INCLUDE FUTURE DRAINAGE, DID NOT INCLUDE REPLACEMENT OF PERISHABLE - STRUCTURES AND DID NOT IN CLU.DE ANY RIGHTS IN POWER SITES, OR IN POWER POSSIBIL ITIES." We Just ask the readers of this pa per what they think of that proposi tion? Here are men who were placed in control of the interests and rights of the land owners, men who were supposed to Jealously protect them, men who were trusted by their neigh bors and friends, quietly yes, se cretly, for this resolution was never given publicity acquiescing to such a provision, a provision that Is word ed so strongly and In such detail as to leave no possibility of doubt as to .the-full purport "of its meaning. It means, that the power that has been t cheated by reason of the Klamath 'project coming Into existence, and which the farmers have paid for, is vcast. aside, without a dollar's consid eration; it means that when this con . tract U consummated, the land own ers will have no recourse and that ev erything that has been done to de v prjlvojhera of their most valuable as net Is Irrevocably approved. And, yet, Mr. Offleld, who seeks to pose as the friend o the poor devil who has paid nj for, every cent he. has put into the ' tUxJajsiath, project with 'sweat, with hardahip. with, deprivation, with wor- "ry-, tea. the. otfrontery to stand up In j 'piMki and say that he believes that the "voters Acted according to their beat Judgment In the matter with re- "tard'tV the power rights.' ' 1 Ia the": argument that Mr. Brad- IMHT preiei "tri'l ha found no per aiii'' ';' 'If e has tried to lay be fore the land owners the plain facts, He offers no criticism nor praise. Ills Is the effort of the man who comes with clean hands and asks whether thts infamous plot shall go through unchallenged, or shall be thwarted at your command. He includes with his argument a copy of 'the resolution that Mr. Offleld did not have the cour age to present nor tell you about.. Ho asks you to read It, and see if you over heard of It when you. voted on the creation of the Klamath Irriga tion District. He tells you why the Klamath Irrigation DIstricT should Join In the suit. His reasons arc sound, and you should heed them, You should not get confused In the matter of the Klamath Water I'sers Association and the Klamath Irriga tion District. The Kluna'h Water Uc-ers" Association Is the old organ ization It Is to be succeeded by the Klamath Irrigation District The old organization has voted to test the legality of the power company's con tract. "Mr Offleld was willing that It should do this. Why should he favor a suit by one and not the other, since the Stockholders in each are prac tically the same? We will teH you why: Just as soon 'as the contract between the Klamath Jrrigation dis trict and the government Is signed up the Klamath Water Users Association will turn over to the district all lands and other assets. It would then have nothing to levj; an assessment on for attorney fees and costs of maintain ing a suit. And the second, and more important reason, is that the infa mous resolution about which .you knew nothing, contains provisions that'approved all acts and makes the maintenance of a suit Impossible. Mr. Offleld knows this, and that Is why ho prates about his fear that tho con tract between the district and govern ment will be jeopardized; and shows his anxiety about the Interest the farmer has to pay on loans. If he had exercised the same consideration when it was proposed- to throw away that which will pay for the project, and maintain it free of cost the power when such an infamous prop oition was submitted for hls.approval, he could now stand before you with better grace and deserving of moA consideration. You must remember that if the power is kept and .developed by the farmers and sold by them for their benefit, it will repay every dollar the project has cost.
