CANADIAN TARIFF
WAR LOOMS UP BIG
Manufacturers of the Dominion Are Bent on Retaatorv
High Import Duties-Maximum Clause Is
Cause of All the Trouble
BY JOHN SNURE.

Trouble over the operations Of the
new tariff law are beginning 10 be heard
from the direction Of Canada They are
causing some concern TO Treasury Off
Gals who have been giving close atten-
ton 10 their meaning. They point TO
a possible tariff war with Canada as
the result Of the enforcement Of the
maximum provisions which it is suppos-
ed will be enforced after March 81 aext.
II appears that the Dominion manu-
facturers are bent on making no con-
cessions TO this country. but on raising
higher the tariff wall between the Unit
ed states and Canada. Whether the
Canadian government viii take a SINH
lar view OF things remains to be seen.
II is not at all improbable that it VIII
do so
The Canadian Manufacturers Asso-
citation met at Toronto few days ago
This organiza ton IS strong one, ana
its influence with its government Is
great
Briefly. the situation is this.
Concessions in favor OF British i'm
ports are made BY Canada. and recent
reciprocity treaty has been made with
France that gives preferential duties
70 imports into Canada from France.
This means. IL the maximum and mini
mum features OF the American tariff
law are strictly applied, that the maxi
mum rates will have To be enforced
against Canada Now. the suppostion
Of the frances OF the law recently
passed by Congress is that the threat
Of enforcement OF the maximum rates
will be sufficient 20 make other nations
succumb and give TO the United States
IT'S most favored rates. But the ques-
ton Is whether Canada will succumb.
II fs probable she will prefer to let the
American maximum rates apply. and
shove her rates still higher
Canadians Don't Fear
This is just what the canadian Manu-
facturers' Association want to see done.
The members made it clear in their
Toronto meeting that they had nothing
70 fear from tho operations Of the
American maximum tariff and that what
they wanted To see was the enforce
ment by the Canadian government OF
the Canadian surtax act of 1895 They
would allow the American maximum
rates to apply and IN turn impose the
high duties called for by the surtax act
on goods seeking to enter Canada from

dy Ryan at Mississippi City, Feb. z, 1882. The fight lasted but nine rounds with Sullivan the victor. He fought a draw with Charlie Mitchell at Chantilly, France in 1888, and then came the Kilrain fight. He was beat en by James J. Corbett at New Or leans, Sept. :, 1892, in twenty-one rounds.
 Sullivan has always been accepted as the greatest of the worlds pugi- lists. Champions have come and gone and almost been forgotten. In gen. eral they have been able to hold their titles but short while, while Sullivan was undiSputed as the master of the art for ten years, from 1882 to 1892
 His sparring partner, who will be seen at the Coliseum with him, is Jake Kilrain-
 Kilrain came from Greenport, N. Y In the rolling mill where he was em- plOyed in Sommerville, Mass, he was compelled to stand for a lot of chaff and guying, the circumstances of his having come from an upstate country community in New York giving the smarties in the mill a cue for the
 
 hayseed and vegetables. All this was received with smiling good nature un- til one day one of his hectors over stepped the frontier of discretion and something dropped. The man hit thought Jake had used a sledge, but those who saw, knew he didn't and were also convinced that further guy ing would be dangerous.
 What he did to the man who thought a sledge had been used in putting him out, interested all of the scrappy ones in the establishment with the result that Jake was forced into meeting a quartet, one after the other, of would-be champions. They were Jack Daly. Jem Driscoll, Dan Dwyer. and Dennis Roach, and all four faded before the fists of the sturdy youngster from the upstate New York country like snowflakes on the Charles.
 Athletics now took firm hold of Jake's attention, and after polishing off Roach, who had been imported in- to the mill on purpose to whip him, he turned his attention to rowing. He was an apt pupil of some of the old time watermen on the Charles river in Boston, was one of the winning crew in a four -oared race on Lake Waldron, and in 1883 won the junior sculling championship of the National Amateur Regatta at Newark, N.
 In the winter of 1883 he became an assistant at the old Cribb club of Tim Mccarthy in Boston, and from that time on for several years his entire attention was devoted to boxing. Very quickly he showed his fitness by whipping Harry Allen, George Godfrey for forty-four rounds and fighting draws in 1884 with Jim Goode, Charlie Mitchell and Mike Cleary. Later, aft CT a rest of some time, Frank Herald was accounted for in one round. As the months rolled their course, most of the then good ones were met and defeated. Kilrain was given the Rich ard K. Fox diamond championship belt, and in 1887 fought Jem Smith

 Bridge Location THE BRIDGE COMMITTEE
Alludes to the Record of Tempe in Movements For Betterment of the Valley and Lesser Need of That Locality of a Bridge.
To the Editor of The Republican:

To the Editor of The Republican:
 Sir.-The Tempe committees charge of selfishness applied to the citizens of Phoenix cannot be borne out by facts. Every enterprise that has ever been inaugurated for the betterment of the Salt River valley has had the enthusiastic endorsement of the peo- pie of this city.
 When the Roosevelt wagon road was brought to the attention of our people, and the sum of $75.000 needed for it's construction, Phoenix, with commendable unanimity voted S67 300 worth of bonds to construct the road, leaving $7,500 to be divided between Mesa and Tempe,-Mesa to donate S35OO Tempe to give s4,OOO. Mesa promptly voted the bonds as did also Tempe. The citizens of Mesa pur- chased their bonds and discharged their debt, but the s4.O00 in bonds voted by Tempe are still locked up in her cash box, unsold, and her obligation to the taxpayers of the dis trict was absolutely disregarded. Phoenix contributed the large sum of S67,50O to build this road, when our people thoroughly realized that the greatest benefit arising from its con- structiOn would accrue to Mesa. Such facts as the above rather shows to the discredit of Tempe, and the

river. would be substantially increased from ten to thirty per cent by a bridge at the foot of Center street. This large area of country is thiclly populated, and thousands of nice homes are bound within its limits, yet the absence of means to cross the river has always kept property values much less than in other sections of Phoenix. A bridge at Center street will add several hundred thousand dollars to the value of that section of Phoenix, and cause many more people to make homes in that then desirable resident portion of Phoenix, while a bridge at Tempe will not materially increase the assessment roll of Mari copa county -one dollar.

U. s. COURT OF APPEALS
Affirms the Courts of the Ter ritory---A Review of the Most Stubbornly Fought Case in the Records of the Courts of Arizona.

Hon. Robert E. Morrison of Prescott who was in town yesterday received a telegram from the clerk of the circuit court of appeal at San Francisco stat ing that the court had affirmed the judgment of the Arizona courts in the case of the territory against J. P. Storm, former treasurer of Yavapai county who is under a sentence of four years in the territorial prison for an embezzlement of the funds of the county.
 This ends a historic case and the most stubbornly fought criminal case in the history of the courts of the territory.
 On the morning following the general election of 1904 Storm was found in the vault of the treasureT's office bound with baling wire and the vault, robbed of all its contents. sup posed to be about s13.0OO.
 Suspicion attached to Storm at once and he was indicted by the next grand jury charged with the larceny of the funds taken from the treasury at that time. Two other indictments were found against him, each for the taking of 5000 at other times.
 He was put on trial on the big in dictment and the jury disagreed. Mir. Morrison as attorney for the surety company on Storms bond assisted in

 This battle with Smith led to the great mill with John L. Sullivan in Mississippi in which Kilrain lost. Af- ter that event, Jake was beaten by COrbett in a six round go for points and lost to Frank Slavin at COney Island in 1890. His last fight was with Slavin in 1899. During his career he has fought over 150 battles, and today weighs PA pounds and is in the best of condition

The Gladiator Will Show at the Coliseum Tonight With Jake Kilrain His Old Time Opponent.

John L. Sullivan will arrive in Phoenix this morning on the o'clock train from Los Angeles for a six day engagement at the Coliseum. He will have rooms at the Hotel Adams.
 John L. is the first great pugilist that American developed. He started in as a young man before gloves had

 Vote for a bridge at Center street and accord to your neighbors in that oftime isolated section the same pri- vileges you enjoy every day in the year.

A vote for the Center Street bridge is vote for Greater Phoenix, a vote for a richer and more prosperous Maricopa county, and, what is better than either, it is a vote on the side of justice to the hundreds of deserving men and women who have lived for years on lands south of Phoenix; it is a vote to permit these families to send their children to school and to church, to open up to them every fla cility of securing the needful things of life. A vote for the Center Street bridge Is a vote against prejudice and sectional strife, vote for fair play and the county's best interest.

charge of selfishness from that quart CT does not come with good grace.
Arizona republican., 1909-05-18

The location of the bridge at the foot of Center Street means the de- velopment of thousands of acres of land that is now uncultivated; it means a lower rate of taxation and more public improvements; it means greatly increased trade for our Phoenix merchants, and an era of prosperity for the Salt River valley; and last, but not least, it means that the citizens of Phoenix and vicinity, after many years, have exercised the first opportunity that has ever pre- scented itself to lend a helping hand to their uncomplaining, patient neigh bors across the Salt river.

There are five thousand Indians on the Maricopa reservation south of Phoenix, several hundred of whom own teams. These Indians cut and sell hundreds of cords of wood annu- ally in Phoenix. and it is to their eff forts in this line that the price of fuel is so reasonable in this city.
 With a bridge at Center street whereby these wood haulers could cross the river with safety, they would at least double the present supply Vote for the Center Street bridge and thus encourage the supply of cheap fuel.

If only one bridge is to be con- structed this year, it ought to be the one that is most needed.
 Tempe is so situated that she has no distressing needs for a bridge; she has a railroad bridge and specially good railroad connections with PhOe- nix, while the population on the south side of the river have no means what ever of cOmmdnication with this city during times of high water These people pay taxes, purchase their com mOdities in Phoenix, and our citizens owe it to themselves to give them the first bridge across the Salt river, and thus guarantee to them a few of the many advantages our people all en- joy.

One of the things most desired by an intelligent public is a prompt, nev- CT failing mail service. Uncertain
 communication, dilatory mail service will destroy the prospects of any community. Tempe has several daily trains passing her doors daily; that, water conditions do not disturb. The settlers south of Phoenix are practically cut off and barred from all communications with Phoenix during many weeks of high water each year,

When the people of Phoenix asked their Tempe neighbors to join with them in an association, having for its purpose the construction of the TontO reservoir, the Tempe citizens unani- mously voted to reject the Water Users association, giving as reason that it would ruin Tempe.
 These same men are now protesting with like unanimity that the con- struction of the Center Street bridge would ruin Tempe.
 Well, the Tonto reservoir is almost completed; the north side canals are all in the hands of the government; lands in every portion of the Salt River valley have increased in value from fifty to two hundred per cent, and Tempe, notwithstanding it's mis- spent jealously and fallacious prog nostications, moves along in harmony with the beneficial results flowing from the building of the big reservoir And the same substantial improve ment in property values will follow the construction of the Center Street bridge, Tempe and her walls of woe to the contrary notwithstanding

Our Tempe friend, James c. Good win, who so pathetically portrays the burdens of the taxpayers and eluci- dates the impracticability of the Gen. ter Street bridge, is neither a civil engineer nor bridge builder by profess sion.

Much has been truthfully written of the wonderful increase in property values on the south side of the Salt river, upon the completion of the Cen ter Street bridge, but nothing has been made public of the property benefits to be derived by the residents of Phoenix, while, as a matter of fact, every city lot or suburban acre be- tween Washington street south to the
