COURT OF RECIPROCITY.
Foreign Relations Committee Puts
Matter Into Hands of Sub Commit

Washington, Jan. 9.-There was a
meeting of the senate committee on for
eign relations in the new committee
room on the call of Senator Cullom, its
chairman The committee organized
Senator Cullom told his colleagues that
he wished to have all business which
has accumulated before the committee
during past sessions finally disposed OF
| in some manner during the present ses-
sion. He appointed subcommittee. 70
which pending questions which had
been referred to the committee were as
signed These include legislation In
line with The Hague conference and a
number of other questions brought over
| from other sessions.
Perhaps the most important sub-com-
mittee named was the one which Will
deal with the leading questions involved
in the proposed reciprocity treaties. This
sub committee includes Senators Spoon
err, Foraker and Bacon and the chair
man of the committee, Senator Cullom.
The subcommittee will make an tnves-
tigation to determine whether the recip-
rocity treaties now pending have been
negotiated under warrant of law. In
fact one of their tasks will be to decide
whether the treaties are really pending.
The treaties were negotiated under sec
tons and of the Dingley tariff act.
Section provides special schedules up
on tartar, brandies, wines and paint
ings and other articles which may be
applied by the president in return for
concessions granted by other countries.
Section provides for the negotiation
n ha G
this provision, however that the trea-
ties shall be negotiated within the peris
cd of two years from and after the pas
sage of the act The act was passed
and approved by the resident July "a,
1897. The pending treaties were not all
negotiated within the two-year time
limit. Because of this It has been con
tended that the authority for negot!at-
ing the treaties no longer exists, and
hence they are invalid
The sub committee referred to will
consider and pass upon the point in
volved. 1t will also determine whether
the general treaty making power OF the
government is sufficient to warrant a
framing and ratification of the treaties.
All of the legal questions involved by
proposed reciprocity legislation will be
referred to the subcommittee, which
includes the three ablest lawyers in the
senate of both parties.
From pact expressions of the senators
selected for the subcommittee, 1t is be-
lieved they will hold that the treaties
are dead 80 far as the authorization of
the Dingley act is concerned. The con-
clusion will probably be reached that
the nresident and the United States SEN
ate can negotiate and ratify the trea-
ties, but action by congress will be nee
essary before the tariff changes can be
effective altho they are definitely pro-
vided by the treaties

writes: IF man should stand out In

to bark all night. and the police do
not seem to care. There is nothing
so worthless as a dog, and no other
animal has so little to do, or has an
equally good time. A horse is COM

loaf and bark all night, and disturb

sHAvEMEYER WANTS
NO SUGAR TAX.

AT the recent annual meeting of the
Jersey City President H. o. Havemeyer
| in his annual report severely criticised
| the existing tariff on raw sugar and eX-
pressed hope that the tax on sugar. or
the hunger tax as he called it, would
be removed. President Hayemeyer said:
1T would seem that with an overflow
| ing federal treasury there had disap-
peared any reason for continuing a
charge upon the consumption of nearly
2 cents a pound.
This represents. on an annual con-
sumption of 1850, 900 tons, $50. 000, 00Oa year
OF this. however, only 1866. 900 tons are
imported. yielding custom revenues of
$40 900, 900. The balance of 1886 900, 600 goes
into the pockets of planters as follows:
Tons. Value.
Louisiana planters. 100000 s1l.600000
Domestic beet......... 100000 100000
Hawaii ................ 100000 12.6OO0O0
Porto Rico. 100000 100000
"A removal of this duty on raw sugar
would result in saving to the consumer
of s5.OO0,0OO.
Misleading statements are constantly
lany by reducing the present high rate
Of duty. The gain would be increased
sales. The lower the prices at which
refined sugar can be furnished the larger
is the number within whose reach it can
be brought. To this extent there would
be gain to the company, but the sub
stantial benefit of the remission or re-
duction Of the duty would DE to the con-
sumner, and the practical question is
whether the public shall continue to pay
the enormous amount which the duty
requires for the benefit of favored in
dustries, which, according to published
statements, do not require the protec-
ton"
In a supplementary statement Presi-
dent Havemeyer said that sugar is nee
essary of life, and the people were be-
ginning to look upon the tax on sugar
as hunger tax. This was due in a
measure to the fact, he said, that sur
plus exists In the treasury, and there is
no reason for tax on an article of food.
Speaking of the beet industry. Mr..
Havemeyer said.
THE farmers have received no more
for their beets since the tax was reim-
posed than when sugar was free in 1891,
1892 and 1893. What Mr.. Oxnard says is
of little account. What William Bayard
Cutting attaches his signature to is of
account. He has stated over his sigma
ture that the beet industry is profitable
under conditions of absolute free trade,
and that the United States being an ag-
Iicultural country the industry has
nothing to fear even from the annexa-
ton of Cuba.
$4,000, 900 OF STOCK TAKEN UP.
During 1891. 1892 and 1893 sugar was
made free by the republican party. The
duty was reimposed to meet financial
necessities of the government, being a
sure revenue getter of s50,000000. An
effort has since been made to tax coffee,
likewise an article of food. This attempt
was secuted at until 1t failed. The lax
on tea is not for the purpose OF revenue.
but as a means of protecting the poorer
people from the deleterious and poison
Gus cheap teas. There is no reason for
the continuance of the tax on raw sugar,
and the hope is that it will be removed"

GRAVEL BED WAVES SUPPLY.

The city of Newton, this state, il
facing serious situation in the need
of water for manufacturing purposes.
fire protection and private use. The
condition is serious chiefly because
Newton needs more abundant and
better supply to keep pace with proper
development. The Business Mems
Association of that place recently Sc
cured the services of Prof. A. Marston
civil engineer of the Agricultural col
lege at Ames, to investigate the water
supply and geological conditions of
Newton and vicinity. After complet.
ing his work he submitted a report in
public address in which he stated
that the only possible place, in his
judgment. where a sufficient supply of
water could be obtained free from
contamination, would be in the gravel
beds of the South Skunk river, west
of Metz, distant four or five miles. The
water system suggested included a
pumping station, reservoir, water
tower and mains involving an expen-
diture OF $4,000.
Reference is made to this matter to
speak of the suggested source of sup
ply and the experience of Marshall
town. This city has experimental in
several directions, chiefly in pumping
its water from the river and from
laterals near 1t. But the supply was
contaminated and unsatisfactory. Fin
ally it was decided to try the gravel
bed source. Twenty driven wells were
put in short distance from the Iowa
river, and water was secured by sue
ton thru strainers. This is the sys-
TEN now in use and it has given the
utmost satisfaction thus far. Water
$4,000, for public and private use. is
thus obtained, tho for extraordinary
needs attachment and supply can be
secured from the river bed. The water
from the gravel beds is clear, pure
and wholesome, and gives universal
satisfaction in these respects The
city government regards the present
system the most complete and best
the city has ever had. Arrangements
are to be made soon to enlarge the
field of supply to meet all demands
of growing city. Marshalltown,
however, does not use reservoir. but
has the direct pressure system, with
small storage well.
II Newton proposes to establish
larger system than it now has, 1t would
seem to be prudent to draw It's supply
from gravel beds.
