TARIFF AND RECIPROCITY
His the First Address In the Series
Arranged by the F1am-
beau Club. ~

James A. Peterson addressed the Flam-
beau club Thursday night on tariff and rec
iprocity. He gave brief review of the
history of the tariff policy of the country
to show the benefits derived from the pro-
tective system and presented 1t as the
agency which opens the door to competl-
ton and to consequent reduction IN
prices. He emphasized the Importance OF
competition in industry and in support
quoted Henry Clay, Samuel Randall, Mr..
Mckinley and Mr.. Blaine. He saw the
menace to competition in great comblna-
lions of capital, and urged that it was IN
cumbent upon the republican party to re-
store competition in order that the doc
trine of protection might be preserved
and the benefits flowing therefrom Sc
cured for the public.
The latter part of his address was de-
voted to the development of the rec
iprocity idea, which he attributed to Mr..
Blaine. He deprecated the indifference
and even hospitality Of large element OF
the republican party to reciprocity, and
quoted Mr.. McKinley's Buffalo speech as
a notable utterance with regard to the
necessity of establishing reciprocal trade
relations with our best foreign customers.
He directed attention particularly to the
advantages to be enjoyed by reciprocity
with Canada, showing that the wheat
raisers of our northern states have moth
ing to lose by allowing the Canadian
wheat to come into the United States;
that the competition with it is just as
active in Liverpool now as If it passed
through the states on the way to the
worlds markets, while we have much to
gain in the way Of selling merchandise in
Canada under more liberal reciprocal ar
engagements.
The Flambeau Club does we'll to bring
before it discussions Of this kind, as they
tend not only to educate the members on
current questions, but to give the club
a better position in the political organiza-
ton Of the state than they have hereto
fore enjoyed.

Powerless Against IL Trust.
"The organization Of the jobbing inter-
ests OF the United States-' said Mr.. Long
fellow, SIS not in shape to make an ef-
fective fight on the banana trust, as we
had hoped to be able to do, and until more
perfect cooperation is secured, We Will
have to submit to the arbitrary and I'M
reasonable demands of the mOnopollzers.
At the convention, plans to curb the
power of the trust were considered, out
it was found that we would have to form
a more complete organization before we
could WELD any influence.
The banana trust has domineered over
the jobbers more arbitrarily than any
other trust ever known in this country,
and having an almost complete monopoly
Of the good grades of fruit, it has been
able to do so with impunity. We hope,
however, to have our forces so lined up
that at the meeting in Chicago next
January we can take some definite action
against the trust.
THE convention approved some OF the
most prominent recommendations toT
changes in the bankruptcy law

VERY COSTLY BUGS
East Side Pumping Station Price
$311 Per Million Gallons.
A SNAP FOR THOSE IN CHARGE
Station Did Less Than Two Days
Work Last Year-Three Men
Employed.

The East Side pumping station is with
out doubt the NEST expensive municipal
luxury that the city is burdened with.
It cost to pump the water from this sta
ton last year 1911 per million gallons.
against $3.50 per million for the North
Side station and an average OF $9.oO 1or
both the North and West Side stations
The East Side station is kept IN con-
slant preparation for service and IS
manned by crew of three men, who
work, or rather watch and wait, in eight
hour shifts. Two Of them draw SIS per
month, the third one $65, and all have
strong aldermanic backing.
The water at the East Side station is a
menace to life and health and the pumps
are started there only in an extraordinary
emergency. Only twice in all of last year
did such emergencies arise, once IN Feb
ruary, when there was a break down at
the North Side station, and again In July,
In the height Of the summers douth.
In the first instance the station was In OPP
Grafton only about one hour, in the other
about day and a half. The total amount
OF water pumped was S,24O,OO0 gallons.

AN ENGINEERS PROTEST
AGAINST DRAINING OF LAKES
Minnesota Surveyors and Engineers
Meet in ST.. Paul-President
Frazer's Message.

Frazer's Message.
Members of the Minnesota Surveyors
and Engineers society met yesterday in
parlor B of the Windsor hotel, St. Paul.
About twenty counties were represented
and twenty-five persons were present.
N. Y. Taylor caused something of a stir
among the engineers by taking strong
grounds for law prohibiting absolutely
the draining Of "n,eandered' lakes in
Minnesota. 1t is the. practice now for
persons owning adjacent property to have
these lakes drained and the beds divided
between them.
In his ignorance Mr.. Taylor said
man has tried to improve upon the con-
ditions of nature and in some cases the
attempt has proved DISASTROUS Years ago
when lakes were plentiful, drouth was un-
known in Minnesota. Now it is a phe-
nOmenOn ever recurring and at shorter
intervals. Mr.. Taylor says the drouths
are due to two things-the cutting away
Of forests and the draining of lakes and
the draining OF, lakes is the more mis-
chievous of the two.
President Will c. Frazier, of Rochester,
Mimi, in message called attention to
the need of supporting the engineers So
ciety 1t was an age of wonderful en-
cheering achievement, he said, and the
engineer must prepare himself for the re-
sponsible work Oh hand. Mr.. Frazer men
toned some of the great work now in
progress, such as the Boston bridge and
the New York subways. He predicted
that some time England, Ireland and
France would be connected by tunnels, an6
America and Asia by a bridge.
