TO HAUL FREIGHT BY AERIAL
AVIATION
Treaty Made Between United States
and Mexico Provides for Haul.
ing Freight by Airship

Washington, July 9.-The pro-
posal to transport freight by airship
from Arizona to Mexico will have the
effect of bringing the United States
and Mexico into an early agreement
relative to the first aerial treaty. The
Mexican government has approved in
general way the original draft OF
the treaty, which Ambassador De La
Barra suggested to Secretary Knox.
The approval of the various depart
ments of the Mexican government to
the details of the treaty is all that
delays the formal presentation of that
document to the American state de-
partment. The treaty would pro.
vide it is understood for the registra-
tion of airships by each country. In
this manner it would be sought to re-
quire the airships to land at the
boundary to comply with the Gus.
tom, immigration and health laws OF
the country about to be entered.
Europe is manifesting a keen in
terest in the preparation of the treaty
and several governments, it is said
have asked for copy of the terms.

Carter's Selfishness

After Carter, by bringing about a
reduction from $3O,0O0,000 to $780,
900, 900, had reduced the opportuni-
ties for irrigation development in the
west, he had the nerve to file claim
for $1O,000,000 for Montana, or half
of the whole amount provided. This
in face of the fact that he had sew
eral times endangered the bill by his
petty selfishness displayed early in
the session, when he pigeonholed the
Borah bill in his committee, the
bond-issue bill, and reported in it's
stead his own certificate-of-indebt-
edness bill.
Nemesis stepped in to punish Car
ter for this particular act of his, how
ever, for the bill which eventually
became a law was not the Carter bill,
nor the Borah bill, but was an en-
tirely new bill drawn by the house
committee on ways and means. Car
ter had sought, by tabling the Borah
bill, to get the credit for himself,
and having the irrigation bill written
down as the Carter law. He utterly
failed of his purpose, and in the end
the chief credit for the final enact
ment of the $40, 700 bill went to
Senator Borah, who was at all times
the real leader of the fight, as well
as the man who originally proposed
this means of fastening the compile
ton of government projects.

it would be impossible to spend more
than 100000 this year.
Naturally, when western senators
were handing around this kind of
talk, eastern senators began to be-
lieve there was no occasion for au-
thorizing 100000 and it became
necessary in the end to accept the
amount fixed by the house bill. But
had it not been for the assurance
given the president by Carter and
Smoot, there would have been $780,
100000 available at this time.

WEST BETRAYED ON IRRIGATION
MEASURE
Thirty Millions Could Have Been
Secured But for Senator'S
Carter and SmOOt

Statesman
Washington, July 9Th west
could have had $4,000, 900 for irri-
cation as readily as it got $4,000, 90
had it not been for Senator Carter
of Montana and Smooth of Utah.
These two men, presumably friends
of the Original bond issue bill, show
ed the white feather when the fight
became acute in the closing days of
the late session, and the president,
acting on advice from them, offered
to compromise with the house for
$20,00O,0O0 when he could as readily
have had the larger amount.
1t will be recalled that after the
senate had twice passed the 100000
600 bill, the last time as an amend
ment to the withdrawal bill, it struck
a snag in the house, Speaker Cannon
and Representative Payne and Dali
zell of the ways and means commit
tee, declaring that it should never
pass, Notwithstanding they had pre-
viously promised the presideet to
put through the $30,000,000 bill as
separate measure.

Telephone News
A young couple at Bowden, Gr.,
wanted to get married and their par
ents objected, says an editorial in
the Augusta Chronicle. They obviated
that romantic old method of chase
on fiery steeds and quietly used party
line telephones. Calling up Judge
Barron at Carrollton they stated the
situation. He read the marriage GER
emory and they answered the ques-
lions, and were married. The opera
tor was asked witness the formality
and the married has been declared
legal.

Misled the President

When this situation was laid be-
fore the president he sent for num-
Der of western senators, Carter and
Smoot among them. The president
told them of the opposition of the
houes leaders and asked them what
course they thought should be fol-
lowed. Without moments hesita-
ton, Carter and Smoot advised the
president to compromise with the
house and take $4,000, 900. They
were not in favor of holding out for
more, telling the president that to
do so might kill the whole measure.
The president, therefore assuming
that Carter and Smoot were speaking
for the west in the senate, sent word
to the house leaders that he would
accept $2O,0OO.O0O bill. Soon after
this Senator Borah reached the
White House and heard what had
been done. He told the president
there was no occasion for compromis-
ing, and insisted that it would be as
easy to get $3O,0O0,OOO as $4,000
600. However, the president had
made his bargain with the house and
could not retract. He told Senator
Borah, however, that he would inter-
pose no objection if the senate should
raise the house bill and insist upon
the advance in conference.
Soon after the president had made
his bargain with the house leaders,
the $20,00O,000 bill was reported
out, with sundry amendments made
by the ways and means committee and
after four hours debate, was passed
by the house without roll call.
Probably not 25 members of the
house who voted on the bill knew
what it was about, or what it was
intended to accomplish. The word
had been passed around that it was
an administration measure, and for
that reason it received large repub-
lican support. 1t passed not because
it carried only $4,000, 900, but be-
cause it was an administration meas
ure. Therefore, it would have passed
had it carried another ten million
dollars.
Betrayed the West
But Carter and Smoot were not
done with the white feather. After
the house had passed the twenty mil
lion dollar bill, a number of western
senators, led by Senator Borah and
Senator Jones, sought to have the
amount raised to $3O,000,000 but
Carter and Smoot got busy among
eastern senators and particularly
with Senator Crane, who is floor lead
er for the republicans, and spread
the word that $20,000,00O was all
the west needed. Carter even went
