PHO DO YOU WAXT
v. 1wr. FOR DIRECTOR?
Tuesday, January 18, 18 the dale
upon which will be held the election
-tor director for .the Klamath Irriga
tion district. It is to be one of the
'most important elections in the his
tory of the project, for on it will de
pend many matters of vital interest
to the landowners.
Two candidates are in the field
Qeorge W. Offield, the present in
cumbent, who stands for everything
the landowner does not want, and
Junes Dixon, whose record as a di
rector stamps him as a man who.wlll
sink every consideration that would
-tand In the way of .giving the farmer
square deal; The issue is to "be'
clear cut between the two men, and
which ever way- the election goes will
decide whether, thefarm'er is to have
a voice in the 'affairs of the project
or 'whether other influences, shall dic
. t:te what shall and shall not be done.
The election of Mr. Offield would
place the stamp of approval on thn
sntrender of whatever Tights the far-
fliers have1-to the power "and power
possibilities of the project; it, will ap
prove the construction of the Link
-Oliver dam.; '-it-will be notice to"Uhe
Reclamation Service that the farmers
recognize the contention 'of 'the Ser
vice that all the farmers get-for their
xuoney Is the mere right 'to take" wat
er from the irrigation canals; it will
be a complete surrender to bureau
cratic government. ' ' '
The election of ''Jim" Dixon will
-mean Just the reverse. If will -mean
J hat the farmers own what' they paid
'lorfano; that they Intend to 'hold' it
and to fighrfqnit. The farmers of the
Project .have a week to consider the
'qaejtionR at issue" and to decide what
course they may pursue. Never be-
cttap haB an issue been plainer. Both
raen 'represent the questions so'clear-

-JPROSPERITY FORECAST FOR 1020
Wo are asked by a good many peo
ple these days: ''Will the hard times
come in 1920?"
We don't know. But we havo read
during tho post fow diys a number
of analyses of business conditions,
and a few forecasts by men who are
supposed to bo experts, and as a re
sult wo would hazard tho opinion that
1920 will bd fairly prosperous In Am
erica and, perhaps, very prosperous.)
Charles C. Seldon, editor of ono of
the most important financial maga
slnes in the country, has had his ear
to tho ground for a month, listening I
to business. Ho says
That exports will continue to bo
lioavy althp'ugh America will not ex
pect cash for all Its goods; wo will
glvo long credits to tho cashless coun-
ti!c8 of Europo.
That olght .great, privato, Tlchly

That with exports continuing

tin 1920 will bo sold.
That the coal strikq having check
ed steel and iron production for-the

inuring 1920 will bo heavy, Tho say
ing is that when tho iron and steel
"business is prosperous so is tho coun

It was back In te Sixteenth Cen-J
tury, according to a learned historian
of Rho'do Island, that, the supersti
tion' of the black cat fable was Intro
duced. A clergyman was returning
fxom his church nfter tho Sunday
evening sermon and ho carried with
him the day's offering of the con
giegation. A black cat darted in front
of him, without warning, and as the!
.-.t'ory goes, ton stops later ho was foll-
ea when a 'heartless bandit attacked
him. The victim was robbed and tho
as-sallant fled.' And all or this was
Jttdbutod to tho act of tho harmless!
frllno.

Mexico Murder Map
Theodore Roosevelt, in a powerful speech delivered at Phpr
nix, Ariz., October 21, 1916, indicted the Wilson administraAipD
for its vacillation and timidity in dealing with Mexico, He charged '
that Americans had been the victims of "murder, outrage, and
plunder"; that the government at Washington- afforded them no
protection whatever, and that "neither the promises and menaces-of
President Wibon nor the pledges in Democratic platforms , were
worth the paper on which they were written or the breath, expended
hi uttering them."
The conditions depicted ihen art the conditions, .intensified,
existing loda)). ,
Over .three years ago on June 20, 1916 President Wilson
through his Secretary of State, admitted that there had been con
tinuous bloodshed and disorder in-. Mexico and that Americans had
been barbarously murdered and vast properties developed by Ameri
can capital and enterprise destroyed.
Six years ago Aust 27, 1913 President Wilson specifi
cally promised to project Amnicans and "vigilantly watch the for
tunes of those Americans who cannot get away,''1 and on the same
date inetructcd the American Consul General and consular agents
inMcxico "to nolify all oficials. military or civil, exercising author,
ity, that they nouJ be held strictly responsible for any harm done
to Americans or for injury to their properly."
"These were line words," said Theodore Roosevelt. "Excel
lent words I"
But they meant nothing abeolutely noihing. Words, words,
words!
Since, they were uttered the situation has gone from bad to
worse, . v
A map has just been prepared and submitted to the Stale
Department end to the Senate Committee on Foreign Relations which
shows that 551 American lives have been sacrificed to Mexican
lawlessness during the Catranza regime. Of ihis number 123 mem
bers of the military forces of the United States American soldiers
and sailors were killed!
This graphic presentation called the ''Murder Map of Mex
ico" has created the most profound impression at Washington and
throughout the country. It emphasizes strikingly Theodore Roose
velt's' indictment of the administration in 1916 for its weakness and
vacillation in dealing with problems across the border.
