Duncan to Succeed Gen. Thomas

The report that Lieutenant Colonel
George L. Anderson, staff officer At
Washington D. c., is to succeed Briga-
der General Earl d. Thomas in COM
mand Of the department Of Colorado,
appears to be contradicted by q report
that General Thomas place will be fil-
led by Brigadier General Joseph Wilson
Duncan formerly in command of the
Sixth United States infantry.
Brigadier General Duncan was Gre
ated such on December 81. In letter
to general Thomas he intimated that he
expected to go to Denver January 6 to
take the latter's place. No official no.

State May Build Moffat Tunnel

Representative-eleet G. M. Allen, of
Denver, is at work on measure which
he hopes to be able to see made into a
law by the Eighteenth general ass. NIB
ly, providing for the construction of
the Moffat tunnel ~ state institution,
with the states credit behind it. He
has been in conference with the Vice
President John w. Springer of the
Continental Tunuel company, formed
some years back to push this enter
prise, and with other citizens interested
in this project relative to the provisions
of the bill.
The matter will be submitted to Mr..
Moffat on his return from the East
next week and will subject to his ap-
proval of course. If he has made other
arrangements or prefers to continue the
project as private enterprise. well and
good; if he will lend his aid to make the
undertaking a state affair, unquestion-
able the legislature will take some cog
nizance of the plan.
Colorado has the construction by the
commonwealth of Massachusetts of the
historic Hoosac tunnel, or the greater
portion of it, as precedent. When il
was found, after years of ups and
downs, that private enterprise did not
care to construct the Hoosac tunnel,
the state took hold and finished the
work at cost of over SO, ,0O0, 900.
1t is proposed by Mr.. Springer and
those working with him that a Moffat
The Julesburg grit-advocate., 1911-01-05

tunnel commission be provided for in
the bill. The commission is to be COM
posed of three citizens, who shall have
charge of the work and who shall make
regulations for its conduct and main
tenanee. The completed tunnel would
be the open door East and West. All
railroads could use it on payment of
regular rated. Thirty-years bonds
could be issue by the state at reason
able interest with the states credit be-
hind them. Since the adoption of the
warrant funding amendment to the
constitution last November, financiers
find that the states credit is AL
everywhere. If it would be economy
SO to do, which is doubtful, convict
labor could be employed to aid iu the
tunnel construction.
There is some question as to whether
the state constitution would permit Of
the building of tunnel. On the other
hand, it is pointed out that if the state
can build public highways, it can build
q public tunnel.
One thing certain; The tunnel is 60
ing to be built by public or private en-
terprise. Denver's business men, the
empire builders who put Denver on the
map aud who have held it on the rail-
road map against the railroads them
selves, are poving in this matter and
they are working with one purpose in
view and with the old-time spirit. Apart
from continental railroad business, the
tunnel as local or state project would
be paying investment. Denver as a
municipality could afford to build it
and reap a seven fold reward.

Longworth Is To Present Tariff Bill

Impetus to the movement for a per-
manent tariff commission was given BY
conferences at the White house and the
capitol, the return of Representative
Longworth, of Ohio. to Washington
with full draft of q bill creating q
commission. and by the announcement
of Chairman Payne. of the house COM
mittee on ways and means. that he ex-
pected such legislation before March I.
Following discussion with the pre-.
sident over various features of the
legislative programme for this session
Mr.. Payne announced he was sure q
bill for such a commission, acceptable
to the president. would be put through
the senate and house before this session
ends. Later. at Mr.. Payne's instance,
he had a conference with Chairman
Emery of the tariff board. regarding
the personnel and salaries of the pro-
posed commission.
Mr.. Emery contended that the nature
of the work and the character of the
men the commission would need make
it impossible to operate advantageously
if positions and salaries were rigidly
fixed by congress, his idea being that
these should be fixed by the commission
itself. He suggested that industrial
experts might have to be engaged for
varying terms at various compensation.
Mr.. Payne believes there should be a
legislative check to aggregate expendi-
lures, but is said to agree as to the
necessity of freedom of action by the
commission as to individual item.
Emboding features of the tariff COM
mission bills of Senators Reveridge of
Indiana and LaFollette of Wisconsin,
introduced at the last session of con.
gress, and of Congressman Goode, of
Iowa. and Lenroot, of Wisconsin, in
troduced at this session, Mr.. Longworth,
who is member Of the ways and
means committee, has drawn = bill
which he expects to introduce next
week.
1t creates commission of five men,
bers, salary 81, 5N0 each, and not more

Wilbin E. Wilder on February l. Colo

with Office at Washington, but en-
powered to meet anywhere. 1t is given
wide powers Of collection and collation.
Of facts. without authority to make re-
concentrations. and instead of making
fixed reports it can only report on special
call of congress or of the president.
Its members are to appear with data
before the senate committee on finance
or the house committee On ways and
means, the two committees which have
to do with tariff Legislation. The COM
mission is authorized to require conf
dental data from corporation as to any
subject, but must never disclose the
source, and must especially safeguard
it from competitive interests. An i'm
portant provision of the Longworth bill
authorized the commission to investigate
the cost of production of all articles
covered by the tariff with special re-
ference to the prices paid domestic and
foreign labor, the price paid for raw
materials, whether domestic or import
ed, the condition of the domestic and
foreign markets affecting the American
products, including detailed information
of the cost and of every element,
which in the commissions judgment
will be helpful in congress in providing
equitable rates Of duty. One section
reenacted the maximum and minimum
clause of the Aldrich- Payne tariff law.
Under the Longworth bill, the five
commissioners are to be appointed by
the president at first for two, three,
four, five and six years terms respec-
lively, but these tenures adjust them
selves to regular six-year terms for all.
The ways and means committee will
take up the commission question soon
after congress reconvenes. Some of it's
members oppose the commission idea,
holding that it puts into being another
body with higher salaries and big
general expense accounts on work that
should be done by the department of
commerce and labor or by some other
regular department.

John F. Flaek, president of the City

Omaha banks comply with the condi-
tons exacted by the Comptroller of
currency. We, like the other national
banks Of Omaha have adopted the sug-
gestions of the bank examiners a. they
have been expressed from time to time.
None of the local bankers who went
through the dark days Of '93 would
care to do business any other way.

it will meet the entire approval of the

Joseph H. Millard, presidant Of the

"The system to which the comptrol-

order as yet, but l believe that the
comptroller refers more particularly to
banks which use 4 system by which
the examiner cannot get a clean and

such banks thirty days to conform to
