DEMOCRATIC MINORITY,
1t Viciously Assaults the New Tariff
 Bill.

Washington, March 22.-That the Payne tariff bill will increase the cost of living, that it is crude, indefi- nite. sectional and prohibitive and an open challenge to a trade war with every nation, are some of the criti- cisms of the measure made by the democrats on the ways and means committee in the minority report sub mitted to the house by minority lead CT Clark today.
 The report is a severe arraignment of the revision which the Payne bill proposes. The countervailing duty provisions for coffee and petroleum, the maximum and minimum features, the Cuban reciprocity clause, the wooden, glass, agriculture and sugar schedules are bitterly attacked. De- claring that the tariff is a tax paid by. the consumer, and that the only legitimate function of the tariff is to raise revenue or to supply the needs of the government, the minority members insist that instead of an increase of taxes on new issue of bonds, the correct remedy for the growing deficiency in revenues is a reduction of the expenses of the gov ernment
 Continuing, the report declares: "The whole maximum and minimum tariff scheme as set forth in the Payne bill enables foreign countries to force us to raise the rates under the Payne schedules 20 per cent, which would, after making ample all iowance for all reductions in the Payne bill, increase our tariff rates on the average much above the rates of the Dingley law, a prospect which will bring sorrow and dismay to the great body of the people.
 We are most heartily in favor of such a maximum and minimum tar if as will enable the government tO negotiate tariff arrangements by making concessions to other govern ments. by reducing the rates of our statute when such other counties will make equally valuable concessions to us: but as it stands, the maximum and minimum tariff plan of the Payne bill is an open challenge to a trade war with every other nation on earth. It is seeking trade with a club or a meat-aX.
 The bill is in many respects crude, indefinite, sectional and prohibitive. It seems to us from our examination, which was necessarily nasty, that, on the whole, it increases the cost of living"
 The report maintains that tariff ar rangements with the Philippines should be considered in a separate

NOTHING HEARD FROM !
 TIE PASADENA PARTY
It Is Feared the Six Men Landed in the Mountains and Perished Tn the Snow.

Los Angeles, March 22-No word has yet come of the fate of the party of six men who went up in balloon from Pasadena Saturday afternoon and were last seen floating high over the Sierra Madre mountains. north of Pas adena. an hour after that being carried northward by a high wind. The bal loon is the America" one of Dick Ferris racing gas bags. under the charge of Captain A F. Mueller. with five passengers. All are prominent business men of Pasadena. with the exception of Lane C. Gillian, who is a well known mining man of Walla Walla and Mexico, and has been a guest of the Hotel Maryland of Pas adena The others are Richard Hal stead, a merchant; Sydney Cray, a rancher: Harold Parker. photograph CT: F. C. Dodschutz, a chauffeur.
 There has been almost a continuous storm ever since the party ascended, and on the mountains it reached the proportions of a blizzard. Snow covers all the peaks of the range and down as low as Alpine Tavern. and the wind has a velocity of 40 miles. It is believed the balloonists were forced to land in the mountains and met a terrible fate. They had few provisions and wore light clothing. The cold is intense. Many searching parties. com posed of men familiar with the noun tains. and forest rangers. started out today. but could make little progress owing to the deep snows All points on the desert have been communicated with and it is quite certain the balloon has not cleared the range.

 Appeal.

Covington. y., March 22. - Judge Harbeson today rendered a decision in the noted case of the Latonia Jockey club against the Kentucky racing com mission, holding that the law estab- fishing the commission is uncOnstitu tional. The effect will be to place the Latonia Racing club back on it's form CT basis.
 Judge Harbeson held that the law creating the Kentucky racing commis- sion gave that body power to regulate running races; that trotting and run ming races are not in the same legal and therefore the law is class legislation and unconstitutional. The court held that in order to make the law valid 1t must give power over both running and trotting. The commits sion will appeal to a higher court.

 As to terminal rates, he said there were none in Arizona, and in that and other respects this territory was more unfavorably situated than any other region in the United States MT. Jones was here questioned by MT. Norton and MT. billiard. repre- senting the roads, as to his ideas regarding terminal rates for Phoenix. He was finally of the opinion that 1t should be granted such rates. The Influence of the Sea.
 The witness then entered upon an Interesting discussion of water com petition as a factor in rate making. He believed that it was more or less of a fallacy. For instance, there was no reason why corn. glucose and oth- .er corn products should be given a rate based on water competition. These are all products of the interior and obviously cannot be shipped west by water That was made impossible by geography. There were many ar ticles which, in the nature Of things, goods, for which freight is often too slow and are frequently sent by ex- press; perishable goods, high-class vehicles, and many others which are never sent by water. Thus water he said, should never en- ter into rate-making on such goods. He furnished several illustrations showing that commercial reasons alone had governed the making of rates on goods of the before mentioned classes.
 Tidewater Towns.
 MT. Jones spoke in this connection of the arbitrary manner in which tidewater points in California had been established. For instance. Marysyille, Cal, 143 miles from the sea, was a tidewater point for no other apparent reason than that a non -navigable river ran by it. while Santa Barbara, which was really on tidewater and had admirable ship ping facilities, was not a tidewater point. San Jose, fifty miles in the in- terior, was a tidewater point. Los twenty-five miles in the in- terior, was a tidewater point; while san Pedro and Redondo, whence goods to Los Angeles were shipped by rail, were classed as interior points and freight rates to them were higher than to Los Angeles by $l5O.
 The special examiner asked Mir. Jones why he thought the roads had so classified these points. For com mercial reasons, bIr. Jones thought, to make distributing points of them. MT. Norton was unable to see in what way Phoenix and Arizona would be by this classification. Not at all, said Mir. Jones, he was merely showing what crimes had been com nitted in the name of water compe- tition.
