bill. Mr.. Blackburn Of Kentucky, a
member of the judiciary committee
vigorously opposed the measure not so
much because he thought the salaries
proposed were too high, as because he
felt that there ought to be a general
revision of salaries paid to officials Of
the government.
Mr.. SpOOner of Wisconsin supported
the bill, and said there were cases
where men had refused appointments
on the supreme bench because the sal
aries were inadequate. =
Mr.. Stewart gave notice of an amend
ment to the bill, providing that the sal
aries Of senators and representatives
in congress should be $500 per annum.
Mr.. McCOmas of Maryland, Mr.. Haw-
ley of Connecticut and Mr.. Fairbanks
of Indiana supported the measure.
Mr.. Hawley advocated the amend
ment of Mr.. Stewart to increase the
salaries of senators and representatives
in congress.

Element of the copper war between the
Amalgamated and its competitors, but
also the end of hostilities which have
existed in Wall street for many months
between the Morgan and Standard Oil
interests.
There was a general disposition on
the street in this city TO believe that
this is practically correct, and during
the day dispatches tending to confirm
it came to Boston brokers.
This action on Mr.. MOrgan's part was
limited at about two weeks ago, when
the copper situation was at its very
worst. but little was said about it then
and financiers were inclined to be skep-
teal concerning it. Mr.. Lawson yes
terday predicted that the permanent
price of 151z cents a pound for copper
would soon be reached.

MENACE TO MINING
Sutherland Declares the Hill Bill
lnimiCabIe to This
Industry.
Special to The HeraldN

Washington. Jan. Representative
Sutherland today said; Il regard the Hill
currency bill as unwise and unnecessary
There is no public demand for It.
The provision of the bill which cOntem-
plates interchaugeability Of silver dollars
for gold IS particularly vicious. We have
now a law which provides for the redemp-
ton of nearly $350. 100000 in paper money
and requires the gold reserve Of $15AO00,000
for this purpose.
IF we add redemption of $500, 100000 in
silver this gold reserve must OF necessity
be increased about $500, 000.0Q0 It needs
no argument to demonstrate that with
drawal of this immense amount Of gold
from the channels of trade would be eX-
ceedingly disastrous.
I'm addition to this it would do serious
damage TO mining industry Of Utah. L

report the bill to the house, and it is
the purpose of Mr.. Payne TO begin the
consideration of the measure in the
house Immediately following the con-
sideration Of the ELECTROMAGNETIC

The reduction bill is rather lengthy,
as several schedules have to be read
justed. All rates. however. are brought
back TO those existing before the Span
ish war, except on mixed flour.
The repeal section is brief and re-
stores the old rates. In some cases, as
in that of cigars, tobacco, beer, etc.
the changes have been made since the
original war taxes were imposed, 50
that simple repeal of existing law
would not restore the old rates. Special
sections cover these cases.

Leasing the Public Range.

The proposition that the public
range lands be leased has caused much
discussion among Western live stock
growers, and in some quarters 1t has
stirred up great opposition. Probably
the best solution Of the problem is
that which would provide for the ap-
plication Of the leasing system to the
several states according to their re-
Spective needs and conditions.
This is the plan upon which it seems
the Nebraska delegation in congress
will work. The Nebraska people are
strongly in favor Of leasing, but they
find that it is hardly practicable to Sc
cure the passage of a general leasing
bill. So they have fallen back upon
the proposition that congress pass
special act applicable to lands in Ne.
braska alone.
The advocates of this plan say that
conditions in the different states vary
80 much that a general law might lit
Lne and be greatly injurious to anuth-
er That there is this difference in
some respects is evident, and there
does not seem to be any reason why
the leasing system should not be ap-
piled in ii particular state if the peo-
pie living there desire it. An object

RawIin's Disgrace.

Senator Rawlins of Utah told the
United States senate on Thursday that
Major General Chaffee, commander of
the American army in the Philippines,
was a bastard william who has brought
dishonor upon the American name and
the American people," and referred to
General Bell as IA brutal, cowardly
beast"
This infamous speech raises the
question: How far may a man, hiding
under the cloak of senatorial privilege.
go in assaliing and vituperating army
officers of high character and proved
courage? When General Funston, a
man Of more value to She republic
than Il hundred Mormons. is repri-
manded for referring to the "overheat-
ed conscience of senator, what
should be done with Il senator who
speaks of American officers as villains
and beasts?
Faced by Generals Otis, Macarthur,
and Hughes in the Philippine com
mittee. Rawiins was compelled to de-
cent utterance, but speaking in the
senate, where he felt that he could not
be called to account. he raved his NAL

hood.

Danger in Our Arid Regions

William III. Chadwick of the Chica-
public attention, in letter to Repre-
sentative Newlauds, to a generally
overlooked interest of the Mississippi
valley in the irrigation bill now pend
ing in congress. This interest rela ties
to the atmospheric conditions which
the arid region helps to produce and
aggrayates.
''Ihe districts which compose the
arid lands" Mr.. Chadwick correctly
observes "by reason of the intense dry
heat there produced, and through the
eastward movement of all atmospheric
conditions across the continent, are
and always have been a menace to that
great agricultural country lying east
and northeast, notably Texas, Okla
homa, Kansas. Missouri, Illinois, Iowa,
South Dakota, Indiana. and Ohio"
Mr.. Chadwick then directs attention
to the tremendous losses suffered dur
ing the last year by farmers, Stockmen,
merchants, and common carriers, from
hot Winds which originated in the
arid region and which partially blast
ed the corn and forage crops as far east
as OHIO. Nor was this loss confined to
! the Mississippi valley. The increased
| cost Of living which it has caused is
| felt even more severely in the eastern
manufacturing states.
ii such calamities as this can be al-
preriabiv lessened by irrigation of tn"
arid lands IL would evidently be well
worth while for the nation to spend all
the money necessary to utilize every
drop of water in that region. That
! such utilization of water would mater
tally affect the climate of the arid
lands ana thus check their generation
Of winds destructive to agriculture in

cation to assure what would be its ef-

Vast Areas Awaiting Irrigation.

The plans for reclaiming the arid
lands of the west through irrigation,
suggested by President Roosevelt and
Secretary Hitchcock, have directed
public attention to the extent to which
the once sterile wastes have been trans
formed by this process into productive
areas and the amount of arid sol! that
is yet to be reclaimed.
1t is estimated that one-thlrd of the
whole United States, exclusive of
Alaska and outlying possessions, con-
sists of vacant public land. This vast
area under proper irrigation and good
management is capable of sustaining a
large population. AS much OF this
area has rich soil its utilization is
one of the most important economic
questions before the people, and con-
presS must soon give it, serious ronsid-
