Shoufa Supervise Pumping Pianss.
Mr. John Howard of the South
ern Pacific immigration depart
ment made the following state
ment to Galveston News
reporter on a very important
matter. He said: Speaking of
the rice industry in general, the
rice irrigating canals in particu,
lar, as we all know, it is water In
flooding time or no rice harvest
for the rice farmer.
1.-THE time has come lin Texas
when it is necessary for the state
or for each county or district
where rlee is grown to have a
man as canal inspector. A man
whose duty 10 will be to make
known to the public the capacity
of different pumping plants and
canals.
ssWhen men undertake to water
10, 900 acres of rice with a 5000
or 5000 acre irrigating plant,
some one is going to get hurt
financially. Yes some man or
men are going to get excuses in
stead of water, and excuses do
not make rice or pay store ana
other bills in rice farming any
more than they will in the truck
and fruit business. s.
"When canal companies are
short on water, it is generally the
small farmers and renters crop
that goes unwatered. Failure to
secure water means failure finarl-
totally for the man or men who
Ihave risked their all (and often
times go in debt) on a rice crop,
rice seed, feed for teams and
far ming implements are all ex-
Ipensive and have to be paid for,
and with the rice farmers it is
rice or nothing, as he carries his
eggs all in one basket-he plants
no other crop.
Capacity of canals aud pump
ling plants should be figured on
and made public foE a dry season;
then there would no disappoSnt

Hwould be out down to a minimum
EC.nal owners maybe willing tt

the restoration of this power to the legsla-
5ture.sThe work sofsevolying a wise tax sys-
TEN for the state must be retarded until
greater freedom of legislative action is Sc
cured. The separation of state from local
taxation is a matter of supreme. Importance.
The time will come, If it has not already
arrived, when revenues for state purposes
may be derived from other sources than the
ordinary property tax. Accomplish this, and
you remove all the friction now characteriz-
ing the assessment Of property throughout
the state.
High Praise for New Law.
Thus have hastily sketched the provisions
of the bill framed by the commission. From
"a careful study of the revenue laws Of other
Estates and knowledge of our own condition,
Ifhave no hesitancy in saying that more
completely framed and efficient general prop
erty tax law is not to be found upon the
statute books of any state.
Jobbers, merchants and owners tof grain
assail the bill because they perceive that it
contains provisions which may result in the
taxation of their property. But it is abso-
lutely impossible that any valid measure
could provide otherwise. All such property.
like the farmers herds and hocks, and the
householders' beds and carpets, is the subject
of taxation.
While cloud ,of, witnesses are rising
against the bill the adherence of certain we'll
known interests is ute astonishing. Where
are the public service corporations, who
will feel the weight of the provisions of the
bill?
Gentlemen, we are standing at a most i'm
pertants parting of the ways. Shall we keep
on in the old course of injustice or take the
new? Who better than you, gentlemen; can
give proper answer to the question? Whose
answer more than yours will influence the
ranks of the business and social world?

NEED IS FOR MORE WATER
Superior in n Quandary over Methods
of Securing Enough of the
Liquid for All.

SUPERIOR, Neb., March 30.--(Special)-
Superior has lately been in a quandry over
its water supply. The system Of water
works in this city has been in about twelve
years. All the water is obtained from a
twenty-hve-foo walled well and forced into
the mains by the direct pressure system.
Last spring the water in the we'll began to
fail. The supply has continually been
growing shorter until a month ago the
council decided that some action was needed
at once. An expert was called here from
Lincoln and a Zeal was almost closed with
him to bore numerous small wells, connect
them with the pumping and guarantee the
city an additional water supply of 10000
gallons a day at a cost Of 81, $50.
Complaint was made by local parties that
no chance wac given for bids. Thereupon
the deal was suspended and bids we're ad-
vertised for. These we're opened at the
council meeting Friday night. A local firm
offered t0 dig a twenty-hve-foot we'll forty
feet deep, with a one-foot brick wall, for
$4,000. This was rejected as impracticable.
The Lincoln expert withdrew his offer, and
ing that land on which to bore his wells
could not be obtained. The council then
considered an ordinance which calls for
meters, to be placed on all hydrants, in
stores. hotels, baths, etc, and upon all taps
used for lawn sprinkling purposes. 1t is the
belief Of some OF the council that enough
water is wasted under the blanket rate now
in force to supply the city. The ordinance
was passed to its second reading. Practi-
cally everyone in town uses city water and,
there being no wells to speak OF, the water
question is OF vital Importance.

Roosevelt, daughter Of the president. in
the launching of Emperor williams yacht
Meteor in America, she may be called as
a witness in several suits in Europe and
the United States, threatened by a French
wine company against a rival concern.
The dispute is over the brand Of wine
used in christening Meteor. 1t was Miss
Roosevelt's hand which broke the wine
over Emperor Williams yacht, and the
French company says IL will call the presi-
dents daughter as their witness.
tn German company asserts that Il re-
ceived assurance from Ambassador Won Hol-
leben that its wine would be used in the
christening. The French company entered
suit for $3.50, 900 damages against the Ger
man company three days ago in the I'm

cabled today from Paris a demand to Am
bassador Won Holleben that he retract his
alleged statement or a suit would be en-
tered Immediately in Milwaukee for ST.

The dispatch to Ambassador Won Hol-

Church.


LINCOLN. March SO.-(special )-Easter
In this city was marked by a fall in tenn
perature, a terrific wind and binding fur
ries Of snow. Throughout the day the mer-
curry was below freezing point and not I'M
I'll shutdown was there a cessation Of the
cold northwest wind that began blowins
last night and Increased in fury with each
hour. Just as the people we're leaving
the churches at the conclusion Of the morn
ing services. snow began falling in blizzard
style.
The feature Of the days celebration was
the Easter Offering Of $4,000 in Holy Trim
ity church. Two years ago Rev. F. W.
Eason announced TO his parish that he
wanted to take up one 81, 900 note each
Easter until the entire church debt was
paid. The congregation responded lib
orally and added $500 to be applied to the
Indebtedness OF the rectory. In keeping
with the custom thus ~inuagurated Rev. Eason
again undertook the task Of raising enough
money for another note and his efforts
were fully rewarded. There remains a
debt Of about 81, 900 on the church and
rectory, but Rev. Eason hopes to have II
all paid within four years. The year Just
past was the most successful in the his
tory Of this church.
Special musical services we're held in
nearly all OF the churches today and the
attendance was good, Notwithstanding the

STATE LOSES HEAVY REVENUE
View Jersey is Deprived OF Income by
Steel Corporation Bond
Bill.

TRENTON, N. J.. March 3O.-The dis
eovery has been made that the state of
New Jersey will lose an annual revenue OF
S12,5OO by reason Of the passage by the
legislature last week Of the bill permitting
the United States Steel corporation to con-
vert its preferred stock into bonds.
CORPORATIONS chartered under the laws
OF New Jersey pay an annual tax on their
issued capital stock. This tax is graded
and amounts to $50 per 1,OO0, 900 on the
$3.50, 900 900 Of preferred stock which the
Steel corporation purposes converting into
bonds. The corporation will not be obliged
to pay any tax on the bond issue and the
state. therefore. will lose this money. This
point probably was overlooked at the time
the bill was before the legislature. as no
suggestion OF the states revenue being
Involved was made by any OF the members
who opposed the measure.
