Views on Tariff
Early last summer in an interview
] declared as being in favor of a
tariff revision, to take place immedi-
ately after the presidential election.
This does not mean in any sense that
have changed my views on the ques
ton of protection, for | am as staunch
on that proposition now as at any time
in the past The tariff law was franz
ed in 1897, and it is not to be won
|dered at that in all those years neces-
sites should come up requiring
change in the schedules"
Taking up the personal point of
view, Senator Kittredge reviewed
some matters that have been thrust
on the public attention regarding his
attitude in certain matters which, it is
said, reflected on him to some extent
Touching some of these questions the
senator said:
No Need For Whitewash
ION the first Monday in December
six years ago / entered the senate of
the United States and in that time
have made my record. and it is one
that l am not afraid of, nor am
ashamed of 1t. Some mistakes have
ben made, no doubt, but there is one
thing the people of South Dakota
can be absolutely certain of, that in
preparing for the battle that is now
approaching they need not prepare
the whitewash pot and the brush for
any act of mine, nor need they pro-
| cure a man to apply 1t.
THE opposition has associated my
name with the Bristol case, and
want to assure my friends in this
state that as long as / am in the
senate no such man as w. c. Bristol
will ever receive my sanction to an
appointment.
The Bristol Case
About two years ago the nominal
| ton of Bristol for United States dis
trict attorney for the state of Oregon
was sent to the senate for confirma-
tion. and in the regular course of bust
ness was sent to the judiciary com
mittee, of which am a member. Our
people are familiar with the appoint
ing power of the president and what
action is necessary by the senate
There Is not court officer of the Unit
ed States but whose appointment IL
first sent to the committee on ju
dietary. and the case of Mr.. Bristo
followed the same procedure tina
stands in the appointment of any fed
eral judge or any other official In thu
courts Of the United States.

being done Bristol, the facts found
were afterward examined by Attorney
General Moody, now a justice of the
supreme court; by Mr.. Hoyt, solicitor
general for the United States; by Mr..
Robb, who was then assistant attor-
ney general and who is now justice
of the appellate court of the District
of Columbia, and by Mr. McReynolds,
another assistant attorney general.
All of them united in the report that
Bristol was an unfit person to hold
the position of attorney for the gov
eminent.
Proves FaIsity of Charge
Bristol was given an opportunity
to close up the prosecutions which
he had begun, and in December last
the president withdrew that nominal
ton of Mr. Bristol. My motive in this
matter has been charged by my ene-
mics in this state to be a desire to
stand in with the land grafters. Why
this should be SO is mystery to me,
for in the twenty-three years that |
have practiced law in Sioux Falls as
citizen of this state / have never
even exercised single right to file a
presumption, timber claim or a home
stead. 1t never occurred to me that
might with propriety, while engaged
in the practice of law, take some land
from the government under the home
stead act, and induce some young men
or boys to file on the adjoining land
for the purpose of preventing any un.
desirable neighbors from getting into
close proximity"
The Smoot Case
Senator Kittredge explained his
vote on the unseating of Reed Smoot
in the United States senate, by stat
ing that when Utah was permitted tc
enter the United States 1t was with
the understanding that polygamy
should be eliminated. Mormon relig
ion is not religion within the con
temptation of the constitution, and Il
is prohibited by law. Smoot havins

ARIZONA ORANGES BRING
 HIGH PRICES IN NEW YORK

regulated by what the New York peo- pie pay for them. They have set one of the highest marks that has ever been paid at this season of the year for oranges. ssF
 Mumper states that tha entire car lead brought $2750. It w-,s the twen- tieth car that has been shipped from Phoenix this season to eastern mar kets. From now until near the mid dle of January, when the packing sea son ends, shipments will continue though Mumper was unable this morning to make any estimate of the total crop.
 Forty people are now employed in the packing house, most of them being engaged in the packing of or anges. Many of them are young la dies, who are becoming exceptionally expert in the trick of wrapping an orange in small piece of thin pa per in the least possible time.
 When the difference in price paid for oranges in New York yesterday over the first shipment few days ago is taken into consideration, it shows that the Gothamites must have taken kindly to the first sample.

 FOR NEW SHOPS
Pays $175 An Acre for l60 Acres South of EaStlake
 Park, Phoenix

As a location for dts shops ana stock yards, when Phoenix is on the main line, the Southern Pacific. Rail road company has purchased 160 acres of land immediately south of Eastlake park from Leon Bearvier. The price was S2S,0o0. or $i75 per acre, says the Phoenix Gazette
 This deal has been hanging fire for some time, but the deed was placed on file only yesterday. The land lies right upon the present Nj. 6 P. and r. & E. tracks and is admirably suited for the purpose for which it Is intend ed.
 The company already had about twenty acres adjacent to this tract The purchase of the Beauvier quarter section is regarded as particularly sig nificant at this time. and though no authorized statements have been made by the officials, conservative invest -ors are confident that all indications point to a resumption of building Of the remaining links in the transconti- mental line througa Phoenix within the next year
 The deal on the large tract west Of the city contemplated some months dS-O A1iA thAOuSA RhN NhAo OAA( 10 o matter of record The basic facts of the predictions made are that the raii- road company, as the city grows. will be forced to move it's stockyards, switch yards. shops and other build ings from it's present cramped guar. ters to such a tract as that bought yesterday The vacated space in the city will be devoted to more exten- siEe warehouses, which are needed even now, and will be rendered abso- lutely necessary with the industrial and commercial deyeiopment of Phce- nix
 This is therefore considered anoth- CT step in the preparations the South ern Pacific people lave been making for two or three years to run their main line through Phoenix and Buck eye and move their machine shops from Tucson to Phoenix. The lIne west of Phoenix and between WinlIie, man and Globe has been surveyed and it has been discovered that many heavy grades will be eliminated by changing the route of the Southern Pacific transcontinental line.
 Within the last month, or since the election. reports have been rife that there will be an immediate commence ment of work on the new line.

TUCSON, Dec. S.-t was learned today that an order will soon be is sued for the transfer of the motive power and the car departments of the Randolph lines from this city to Elm palme. It is understood that the trans fer will be made about January 1.
 There have been persistent rumors for some time thar these transfers would be made, but it was stated at the general offices some time ago that it was considered hardly proba- ble that such action would be taken.
 However, it has been decided it will be more cony yenient to make a transfer and the offices will be moved to Empalme as soon as arrangements can be made.
 The order Of removal means also that James E. Finfey, master car builder, and J. w. Small. who is su- perintendents of motive power. will transfer their residences from Tucson to EmpaIme within few months in all probability.
