RED TAPE AND
BAD WATER
NORTHERN. PACIFIC MAY
EVENTUALLY SECURE PURE
SUPPLY FOR PUBLIC AT
DEPOT IN THIS CITY.

After months of delay since the
matter was first called to their
attention, during which the pas
sengers on Northern Pacific trains
have been served polluted river
water, the company has at last
taken another step toward i'm
provement OF its supply.
All through trains on the N. P.
are supplied with water here, the
supply being taken from the river
by the means of a private water
system. After the city of Spokane
cut off the impure river water and
connected with we'll the atten-
ton of the Northern Pacific was
called to the condition of it's water
supply in an article in The Press.
No heed being paid to the first
publication, the matter was again
brought up a few weeks ago in
The Press and the attention of the
city health department called to
the case. An inspector from the
health department visited Northern
Pacific headquarters and said
something had to be done to i'm
prove the water supply. The local
officials said they would take the
matter up at once with headquar-
ters at st. Paul and see what
could be done.
Since the last publication the
company has been using city we'll
water combined with their own
supply and the determination has
been reached to permanently use
the city water as soon as all the
red tape details required to make
this change can be complied with.
Steel mains have distributed in the
yard and the prospect is fair for
a better water supply at the N.
P. station sometime soon-how
soon, it is hard to determine.
Apparently not satisfied with the
city's condemnation of the river
water, the Northern Pacific has
had samples of it sent to Seattle
for analysis. The result has not
been announced
Those who have followed this
matter insist that the big increase
in typhoid reported in the city dur
ing the past month may be traced
in part to tne N. p. water supply.

SOCIALISTS ALL THERE

At the Hisgen meeting last night
2. w. Craig, the California labor
worker, who said he had lived in
Spokane 10 years ago, said he had
voted for Debs four years ago, but
saw it differently now. The center
of the hall must have been occu-
pied by socialists, as the mention
of Debs' name provoked a storm
of applause that exceeded any
other outburst of the evening.
Later the crowd grew impatient
over the length of Craig's remarks,
and being anxious to hear the
presidential candidate, started
such disorder that Craig was
forced to subside.

TARIFF COMMISSION
WOULD BLAZE WAY
Senator BeVeridge of Indiana
Explains the Contents
Of New Bill.
NO IMMEDIATE REVISION.
IF BILL SHOULD BE PASSED, THE
SPECIFICATIONS CONTAINED IN
1T COULD NOT BE ENFORCED
IN YEAR.

Washington. Jan. 10.-Speaking Of
the bill he has introduced for the crea-
ton Of a tariff commission, Senator
Beveridge said today
BY the very terms Of this bill no
immediate revision is contemplated. If
inc bill were to pass today it would
take the commission at least one year,
working under the highest possible
pressure TO make the necessary inves-
legations
While | think our tariff should be
revised to meet the new conditions
that have arisen and the ci1an ges that
have occurred since our present tariff
law was enacted eleven years ago |
am emphatically against any proposal
TO revise the tariff until after the pres
1dential election.
When the practical nature and linn
ited scope Of my bill is understood by
congress. | do not believe that there
will be any objection to it. | can not
conceive how any man can take ObjcC-
1ion to having the facts upon which
our tariff must be revised carefully as
certained and laid before Congress for
its information. Would it not seem
that any person who opposes such a
common sense and practical plan is OPP
posed to have the facts themselves dis
cussed and made known | can under
stand how members Of congress would
earnestly object to "A commission to fix
duties and thus perform the legislative
functions of congress; but | can not
understand how any man. in or out of
congress can object TO having the facts
investigated by an impartial and re
sponsible commission Of experts and
the result of those Investigations laid
before congress for its information.
