WE OWN THE WATER; LET'S KEEP IT
That the farmers of the district, and others who may
he Interested, may know the real foundation of the pres
ent fight, we herewith' reproduce the paragraph 88 that
Bradbury and Jacob are fighting for, and the one that
will be incorporated in any contract that the district will
sign if Jacob and Short are elected to the board, and
die one that the C'opco-Reclamation gang want.
The Deadly Parallel
IS THIS HONEST? IS IT TRUTHFUL?
In this morning's issue of the Klamath News there
is a front page article that says:
"The heartfelt interest taken by the Bradbury board
in the affairs of Charles Wood Eberlein " was
yesterday given a new throb Shortly after the
new board came in power records were chang
ed in order that Eberlein's land might not be taxed by
the district. J. K. Dixon (who classified the
land and who was appointed by the local cooperative
board) classified the holding of the Enterprise Land
and Investment company and placed therri in the pro
ducing, and paying class. He reported to the local class
ification and placed the lands in sixth class
. Acting on this protest, two government soil
experts made an investigation and placed this land
back in the paying classes, as originally reported by
Dixon. It was after this re-classification that
Bradbury, yielding to the importunities of Eberlein,
"blocked foreclosure by the tax-collector, and signed the
order of relinquishment. Thus an added load was
idsced on the already heavy tax burden of the district."
Now for the facts:
Under the federal law. providing for the classification
of land, a local cooperative board was appointed, con
sisting of a representative of the district, a representa-
Jiu-ob and Short statu! tor this
will accept nothltiR le a than this:
Paragraph ursoJ on ovorunuiit

The above show the real issues of the campaign and
the issues upon which the water users can base their

these two. That board consisted of H. D. Newell, pro-j that "We own the water; let's keep it," by voting for
ject manager, J. L. Jacobs, district director and Burrell Jr.cob and Short.
Short, selected by the first two. This .board appointed

Short opponents designate it, had nothing whatever to en to be a liar, would vou pay much attention to any

five. That eliminated the land, so far as paying charges
was concerned. The Newell-Jacob-Short board, and not
the Bradbury board, or anyone else, placed this land in
class six, the only difference being that in class six
it was out permanently, while in class, five, it could be
reinstated if later on water was delivered or the land
could be made fit for agriculture.
Is it honest, is it fair, is it playing the game on the
square, to try and make the people believe that this
classification and elimination was done by Bradbury or
by the directors of the Klamath Irrigation district, when
they had absolutely no control over the matter whatever?
We know the farmers of the Klamath project well
enough to let them supply the answer. Even the farm
ers who are opposed to the present administration be
lieve in fair play and a square deal, and when such a
dishonest proposition is put before them and it is only
a sample of what has been handed out before we know
what their answer will be.
THE REASON
When the opponents of Jacob and Short were mapping
out their 'plan of campaign, they decided to make it a
"Bradbury-Eberlein" fight, for, as one of the leaders
put, "there are more people 'sore at them than there are
at the bord or anyone else. If we can make enough
noise about Bradbury and Eberlein, the farmers may
forget everything else."
That is why you have heard so much Bradbury and so
much Eberlein. That is why the Klamath News over
shot the mark when it said Eberlein had money invest
ed in the Evening Herald.
Our offer of five thousand dollars which we will give
to any charity in the county if the Klamath News can
substantiate its charge, is still open. If the Klamath
News was doing what it claims to be doing telling the
truth and presenting only facts it would have jumped
at our offer. But it is silent on this point, but still con
tinues to talk about the "Eberlein paper." Yet it asks
the people of Klamath county to believe it.
If the Copco mountpiece is telling the truth, why
doesn't it take us up on our $5000 offer?
statement he would make? ' Well, that i3 the situation in
this water user's fight. The opponents of Short and
Jacob have repeatedly lied and misrepresented. They
lied about the purchase of flowers; gasoline; about
hiring taxis; about the ownership of the Herald; about
the expenses of the district; about the charges on the
Enterprise land; about the classification and elimination
of the Enterprise land. When their statements were
proven false, they repeated them again, showing their
viciousness. Doubtless at the close of the campaign,
when it will be too late to answer any charge that may
be made, they will issue a last-minute broadside. If
there is anything questionable, the time to put it before
the people is long enough in advance to give the other
side a chance to answer it. Don't be fooled by last
minute stuff. If it is not true enough to issue early in
the campaign, then it is not true enough to be believed
at the end. ... jebdll
Don't forget the Ankeny Canal steal! Don't forget
the Keno Canal steal ! Don't forget the Link river dam

ath lake. It is worth 8100,000 a year. Make the Cali
