!. nrrrrRrncr al OPINION

a DIFfEkEHCE U O64nAOn
The members of the Ways and
Means Committee of the House
of Representatives have unani-
mously agreed to report a bill
abolishing all the so-called war
taxes, " amounting to about sew
enty-seyen millions of dollars
annually. There is no objection
to this action if the Treasury
can stand it. The surplus is now
Just about twice Us large as the
proposed cut in revenues. 1t IS
admitted that with this reduction
the expenses would exceed the
receipts. just how great the de-
ficiency would be is hard to tell.
The largest estimate is between
thirty-five and forty millions.
And on this basis the surplus
would be gone in about four
years.
The President and leading Sen
ators do not concur in the action
of the House committee and the
former sent for Speaker Hender-
son and Chairman Payne the
other day and it is reported talked
plainly to them. The President
is thoroughly in earnest in his
desire to see Cuba granted favors
in the way of reduction of tariff
charges, especially upon sugar
and tobacco. He insists upon
this action being taken promptly
so that it's effect may be felt in
the present crops. Opposed to
this action is the extensive beet
sugar industry that has been
built up in the past few years.
This difference of opinion ap-
pears to be leading towards a
serious contest between the two |
houses, although it may turn
out to be largely bluff. The
House of Representatives being |
elected by the people and going
back to the people every two
years is easily led by a popular
clamor. In this case, the mem
bers do not realize the deep feel
ing general throughout the coun-
try that the Cubans must have a
better chance to trade in this
country than other nations. To
this is added the fact that we
are bound to them by solemn
pledges given by the Executive
as well as the Legislative branch
of our government. The mem
bers of the House land this ap-
plies to Democrats as well as
Republicans) see the plain fact
that to 60 to their constituents
with the statement that this
Congress has reduced the taxes
by $77, 100000 will make a re-
nomination and reelection much
easier.
The result will probably be
compromise, as is all legislation.
But it is reasonably certain
that President Roosevelt will
have his way so far as Cuba
is concerned. His record as
Governor of New York deal
ing with the Legislature is such
as to admit of no other conclusion.
When he makes up his mind he
is prepared to fight it out. The
House may pass the bill as it ,
comes from the committee and
then accept such amendments as ]
the Senate may add to make it a g
satisfactory measure. Then the
members can go to the country a
with their records clear and I
place the blame for not getting1
aIl they wanted in the way Of re
duction of taxes upon the Sen ;
ate: This has been done in other
cases. Why not, in this?

MILLIONS WILL BIZ LOST
The Corn Crop Made and Wheat in
the Shock.
ALEXANDRA WILL BE INUNDATED
Grain Men Say the Losses from the Overflow
Between Keckuk and Hannibal viii
be Nearly Four Millions,
Rains Still Falling.
(By the Associated Press.)

Keokuk, Iowa, July 18.-Heavy rains
sending a flood down upon prosperous
Missouri farmers, which will ruin many
of them and cause losses agqgregating, at
a conservative estimate, two and half mil
lion dollars. There seems to be no hope
tonight for the country between the Mis-
sissippi River and its Missouri bluffs be-
tween KeOkuk and Hannibal, three hun
dred square miles, mostly corn laid by,
with some thousands of acres of wheat
in the shock. The water had touched the
danger line the first of the week and
had begun to recede, when heavy floods
started again in the Des Moines, Skunk
and Iowa Rivers. With a stage in the
Des Moines River only three feet below
the tops of the great levees, rhe river
began to rise. three inches an hour at
the mouth here today, continuing until
the factor of safety was wiped out this
evening.
A rise of one and half feet in a short
time this morning az Ottumwa and a
further rise throughout it's length below
the capital city was prevented from run
ming out freely by a rise of foot and
half at Davenport last night, increas-
ing and coming down rapidly.
This afternoon the observer of the
weather bureau at Keokuk, sent tele-
graphic warnings to all points south to
prepare for danger. The crest is expected
here Saturday or Sunday. The Egyptian
levee, which stood the flood just reccd-
ing after strenuous efforts to hold it, is
only slightly above the water now and
the coming flood in the Des Moines will
cover it certainly. This will lei the water
into hundreds of square miles, including
the town of Alexandra, Mo. The inhabl-
tants there are preparing for an overflow
of the entire town to a depth of several
feet. The worst feature is the time OF
the year The corn crop is all made and
wheat is in the shock entailing total
loss of the years work. Crops were
never finer, and the yield promised to
to be immense. Grain men put the fig
ures of the loss from the overflow near
four millions between Keokuk and Han
nibal.
It is believed the Illinois levee will
hold and the damage there is likely to
be only 500 900 to $50 900 between KeokuS
and Quincy Heavy rains are reported
in Southeastern Iowa today and tonight
indicates still higher water. Lowlands
farmers. river men and the weather bu-
reau observer alike predict the greatest
damage ever known from flood on the
upper river.

Washington, July 1S.-Senor Corea, the

news of two attacks or attempted at

vices say the first expedition of about
a thousand men reached Monkey Point,

Many of the revoluitonists were cap
tured, including one Wilson, an Ameri-
can citizen. His condition is desperate
unless the Nicaraguan government is dis
posed to clemency.
