WASHINGTON, April 10
Speaking on the senate tariff bill
this afternoon, Senator Aldrich de-
clared the appropriations by the
congress last year show ''unprece-
denied extravaganza" He asserted
they could have been reduced
$50, 100000 without impairing the
efficiency of government machin-
cry. Aldrich said:
I'm the work of making neces-
sary reduction of expenditures and
reforming methods of apprOpria-
tons, to which the senate is
pledged, | am authorized to say we
have the earnest support and CO.
operation of the president and adj
ministration."
Aldrich said additional revenues,
because of restrictions on under
valuations, is expected to amount
to $5,000,000. He estimated the SEN
ate bill would bring a total increase
of $3,000,000, and said it proposed
that as two per cent Panama bonds

80 per cent error. N. S. Pratt says
he has no objection to a story
printed in The Press Saturday
wherein 1t was shown that Pratt's
numbering operations had been in
vestigated by a union workingman
and found wanting in the essentials
of paying living wages. The story
credited Mr.. Pratt's company with
owning and operating mill in the
northwest part of the city, One of
the wage scale items cited was
$1.75 per day for 10 hours work,
and a contrast was drawn between
this condition and the solidity OF
Mr.. Pratt's claim for credit in es-
tablishing the city eight hour and
$2,75 scale.
Mr.. Pratt admits one allegation,
that he Is a member of the y. s.

pany owns and operates no mill,
but buys outputs instead, the only
man employed by the firm being a

The state is not through with the
check and holds it as an important
piece OF evidence. On this ground
the state contended, through Dep

The probability is strong that
the water shortage that made life
almost unbearable on the north
hill last summer will be repeated
during the coming summer in spite
of the object lesson that was then
given the city hall and the time in
which the defect could have been
remedied.
Inquiry at the city water depart
ment shows that but slow progress
is being made in the work of lay
ing the new 2S inch force main
which is intended to supply the
high lands of the north and also
the Mantle hill on the south.
1t is now eight months since the
city hall started to tell the hill
residents that the building of a
force main, giving direct pressure
to the affected regions, would re.
move the water shortage, and that
this force main would be laid at
once. The present progress made
indicates that it may be late in
the summer before the main is in
place and connected up: too late,
in all probability, for the dry sea-
son of July and August.
Then again, 1t was promised that
additional pumps would be install
ed, and the best information now
obtainable is that the pumps will
not be on hand before July. A

market, he would recommend that
the interest be made three per cent.
Aldrich opposes the imposition of
an income or inheritance tax and
says other taxes are unjust ana
unnecessary He pleads that the
bill be given trial before resort
ing to special taxation.
The senator declared the fact
that there must be 100000 more
peoplei the United States in 1910
than last year would cause nat
ural increase in Importation reve-
nues. AS a result of the depression
of 1907 he argued stocks of goods
are now low and he predicted that
the era of prosperity started March
l would continue with, wise legis-
lation. He calculated that by June

working balance, of 1914, 900 900, in

large force main is not of much
extra service if there are not adj
ditional pumps to fill it, as the
present pumps were taxed to their
utmost last summer to fill the
mains already in service.
One of the things that make a
new administration absolutely ne
cessary is the repeatedly demon
strated incompetence Of the city
city water department.
Nature has plenty of water wait
ing in the well. but city officials in
nearly year have been unable to
lay additional mains needed and in
stall more pumps. 1t is a case
of absolute inability to grasp the
situation or a renewal of the old
fight to discredit the well supply at
any cost.
City officials could not have been
blind to the vast amount of build
ing that has been under way ever
since the weather permitted, or to
the increasing number of new resi-
dence additions that have been
placed on the market. Yet little
has been accomplished Inv all the
months intervening since last
summer and there seems to be a
lack of energy prevalent in the
water construction department to
make the most of what time is
left.
