I SMALL EXCUSE I v THE grand goblin ot tho Ku Kluz Klan Is attempting to ex plain to the people ot Tatt, Cali fornia, that outlawry, Intimidation and threat aro not klan methods. Law and order has been temporar ily dethroned by a gang ot masked and sheeted masqucradert who wear tbe costume of the klan, and pur port to bo member of tho organ UatloB. Tho klan o.'rlcll says that vlo I en co or throat of violence aro not condoned by tVo klan, and that tho Kern county rioter, are cloaking thetr evil-doings under the masks and robes of he ktau 'without au thority. Let u .umo Out this Is the actual truth. ; m1Ics tbe klan of the atlgiin. ;i t-uvardly knavery, but it dot rv Js.'ien their respon sibility fc- the ttti'U of their foot Isfcaeu. U th dlagufea was not ready "and waiting, no evil-minded person could have crept Into It add used '.' to carry out an un lawful purpose. OUR OWN TASK J REALIZATION of lidlvlduM re rponslbtllty Is the foundation of democratic government. A a chain depend for stri.i th upon It separ ate links, so docs a democracy de pend for success upon the cl .racter ot the Indlvldutls that compose It. If they are lax In the excrctso of their responsibility" li they ft. because ot laziness, la 1; of Interest, Interfer ence with personal comm-i, conveni ence or business to bear their Just hare of the governmental burden, who la to blame for evil that arise In a government set up and administer ed by groups of lessrr moral worth, but anlrantcd b," morlres of self-interest that create r higher energy? We all subscribe to the d ;trlno of majority rule, but we do not by our nctloni evince n sense of our Indiv idual Importance as Integral parts ot the majority. We are prone, rather, to subscribe to the growing philosophy that men acos our democratic existence, ex pressed In the phraie "Let George do It." Goori) la willing and Oconto "does It," an( for the doing usually grabs off a nice perquisite In tho way of political patronage or power. Each slice that George, whom name Is le gion, gets, means a shrinking, of our communal asset. No doubt much blame attaches to the growing artlfltlallratlon of mod ern living. W,e llvo with Increasingly leas exertion to obtain the bare nec essities ot living than did the former generations. Food, clothing, beat, the very eloments of existence, come to us more easily than they did to our father and far more easily than they )ld to our grandfathers. And because our problems of physical existence re more easllv solved, porbaps It I natural that wo expeci that our moral and political problems will bo solved with less saw (Ice on our part. But ilt doe not so work out In practice. .We may delegate t'.io re sponsibility of 'elnR properly clothed ATTENTION m 1 ?M POULTRYMEN to n haberdasher; tho responsibility of bolus properly nourished to com mutilty kitchen or rcstauranj. but wo cannot dctegnlo moral respon sibility. , Kach man Is stilt tho keeper of his own conscience nnd will bo until tho ond of tho chnpter. If he Is n good American, proud of his country's history, sure of the na tional future, ho will not begrudge tlmo or Inbor spent In upholding nnd carrying on the national traditions dlut wo must reallie that simply thinking Americanism Is not enough. Thnt Is n negatlvo virtue. o must preach American precepts, practice American doctrine, vote for men who will support American principles, nnd lend them our counsel and advice whence have elected them Democratic government can sur vive only If Its privileges are Jealous ly safeguarded by tho peoplo who compose the government. And each one should so feel his Individual responsibility for the con tinued welfare of the government that he will act under every condi tion that arises as If his efforts alone guaranteed the continued safety and steadfastness of the republic. WiyM'i ----''--,WM -- i Letters from the Pet pie hWWMMWWMWMMV vnm:n T.Kr issvk WITH JOHX AM.HX Editor Herald: In the Tuesday's Issue of tho Herald you published a letter signed by John Allen, giving hi views on tho proposed Irrigation developmest to bo undertaken by the V. S. Tt. S. In the Langell Valley and Donanza district wherein he would give the Impression that In his opin ion this proposed development will be too costly. Having been active in tbls matter since the beginning of the present movement, I gave your paper a statement in the matter at tbe time we received the contract, and stated that In my opinion It was the best opportunity wc have had to havo our section of tho county developed. In the first place, I want to state that during my experience with this movement, which dates from tho be ginning, I have never known or heard ot a "John Allen" being Inter ested In tbls movement. In any way, either as a land owner or etherwise: of course there may be such an In dividual but I doubt It, and would Ilk to have him come out of hiding. It he will do so and come In and go Into tbe matter I feel reasonably sum" be would not be making the statements he ha. I realize that there has never been a movement of any kind proposed but what some one could find objections to; Just criti cism Is always welcome, however, it certainly seems Jo me that a man should bo familiar with the subjert he attack. To me It appears there Is considerable for John Allen to learn before be rushes Into print to tx press his opinion, Mr. Allen? states that tbe cost per aero for approximately G,2."0 acres (which Is not a deflnlto figure for the acreage, wo havo reason to be Hero that the acreage will be larg er) la 176.50. The fact Is, that tbe contract prevides: "that the maxi mum amount the government will spond under this ccntract for all pur poses for this area, will be $387. 000,000 but does not even state that It will cost $61.70 per acre, which will be what you will get by dividing 1US7.000.00 by C, 250 and not $76. SO per aero as stated by Mr. Allen. The situation Is Just this: Tbe gov ernment docs not stato a definite per aero figure for any work proposed. They learned a lesson right here on the Klamath project that broke them I from doing business that way. The government makes an estimate nnd I adds enough to the estimate to take! caro of contingencies, however, as .,i.nn l ,. . i,i I ,h ..n, a .,. f profit and can only charge ub with actual cost, and their books aro opdn J to us at alt times, consequently It. would hardly seem that there would I be much chance to pad our cost. 1 ' have beard the statement made, that t In tbe beginning, tho cost of the work i done by the reclamation service was j more than tt should hare been. This may be true, but If ono will be fair MASHHS to Set the Original and Genuine YEAST VITAM0M TABLETS 100 100 100 and go Into the matter of rost of work being dono by tho service they will find that the government I. now doing construction work as cheap If not cheaper than any other agency Tako tlio construction of tho south branch concrete flume on the Klam ath project built last season. I have It ni Iho opinion of several Individual contractors that tho government was doing tho work cheaper nnd ns good If not bettor than could be dono by private contract. Take tho Van Urlm merj drainage work by the govern ment Uak tho Van Hrlmmer peoplo whehoor not they got n fair deal from tho government. This work was handled Just tho same as our work will bo done Mr Allen? Includes an Item of drainage It has been the opinion of engineers that one of the good fen tures of this project was that the drainage question would never amount to very much, nnd there Is a question If drainage will bo needed nt all If at any time tho so called swamp lands should desire a regular system ot Irrigation then. In that event, a drainage system would be necessary, but wo are not confronted with tho problem now and may never bo called on to consider It, Regarding Altens? statement: "That It Is Impossible lo ue Clear lake water on other lands." Allen certainly has not looked Into this phase of the question. Hotter look this up Mr. Allen. Now about tho Horsefly lands. I wonder If bo has looked Into this phase ot the situation? How much moro water Is nrallablo from tho Dig Springs? Is It not a fact that there Is not sufficient water for tho lands now In the Horsefly district? I could go Into a number ct differ ent questions with which, It Is very apparent, Allon Is not at all familiar and will be glad to do so If Mr Al len will make his Identity known. This Is a matter that means a great deal to not only those who hare stayed on tho dry lands of this section, but to tho county ot large Wo have no secrets. Wo will bo mighty glad to go Into this matter In detail with any one who Is at all Interested. If this Is a bad movo for Allen It sure Is for tho rest of us, and wr would appreciate It very much It Allen would come In nnd show us wherein wo aro making a mistake. Mr. Allen mentions tho delinquent tax situation. I can not state the status of the regular tax however. I think It Allen will Investigate ho will find that better than SO per cent of tbe taxes on Irrigated lands Is paid theroforo If as he states 10 per cent of the taxes arc delinquent It must be on tbe dry lands and other property. Meetings wilt (be held by both districts within a tew days and the matter will be carefully considered before definite action Is taken.
