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. It it is so valuable
to th'e California-Oregon Power com-
