Democrats Are Pleased.

Washington, Nov. 15.-General ap-
proval was voiced in democratic cir
cles here last night over President
elect Wilson's decision to call an ex-
Itra session Of congress to revise the
tariff. The announcement was in line
with the almost universal recommend
alton OF senate and house leaders and
lit met instant responses last night
from Speaker Clark, Senator Williams.
William J. Bryan and from Senator
Dixon, Col. Roosevelt's campaign man
ager.
Earlier in the day Speaker Clark
had voiced his desire for the extra
lsession in strong terms. A similar
statement had been made early in the
week by Senator Martin, democratic
Header Of the senate
Some republican opposition to the
special session was apparent among
members in the capital last night. Al
though the White House would not
comment upon the announcement
from New York, friends of President
Taft said the latter had hoped the
democrats would not bring on any
further disturbance of business.
Senator McCumber, of North Dakota.
republican expressed another repub-
lican view-namely, that he favored
getting it over with" In all demo-
cratic quarters, however, the extra
session was strongly approved.
Congress will begin in a few weeks
preparing for the arduous work of an
other tariff revision. The approaching
short session, which ends March 4,
when the republican administration
goes out, will be engrossed with the
annual appropriation bills, and rou-
ltine legislation, but the ways and
means committee of the house will
probably begin work on the new tariff
bills early in January.
Democratic Leader Underwood, the
chairman of the ways and means COM
mittee, is expected in Washinton
next week. Members fthis commit
tee, charged with the duty of framing
all tariff bills, agree with the position
taken by President-elect Wilson that
repeated Investigations OF tariff sched-
ules have made unnecessary a long
investigation.
The ways and means committee
will begin in January, probably, upon
the wool, cotton or metal tariff bills.
IIf the plan adopted when the demo,
cratic house began work two years
ago revising the tariff schedule by
schedule is adhered to, it is expected
that several bills will be ready for in
troddction in the house as soon as the
special session convenes

CLUBS SEASON ENDS
Officers Are Elected, !. L. Carney Being
Chosen Mayor Don L.
Love, Of Lincoln, Neb., Speaks For
Municipal Ownership.

With the election Of officers and an
address on municipal ownership Of
public utilities by ExMayor Don l..
Love. Of Lincoln. Neb.. the season Of
the Searchlight Club was ended at the
Y. NJ. c. A building Tuesday night. The
officers chosen were: President. j. L.
Carney; vice president. c. E. Howard;
secretary. Henry E. Wilson. The COM
mitteemen elected were Aaron Palmer
and Dwight Denmead and they, with
the officers. make the executive COM
mittee Of the club. The slate was pre-
pared by the nominating committee. W.
". Doolittle. George Gregory. and R
w. McCreery
Mr. Love was introduced by c. II. E.
Boardman. the retiring president. to
speak on the subject Public Owner
ship Of Public Utilities and Its Rela-
tionship to a Better City"
Ex-Mayor Love is an ardent en-
thusiast for municipal ownership. and
believes that in our cities and towns
the public should own and operate
every public service which is natural
monopoly. In this class he includes
water, electric light power, gas, street
railways, and telephones. He claims
that private ownership always exacts
a profit for public utility service IN ex-
cess Of a fair return upon the invest
ment and that It Is compelled to enter
politics for its self preservation.
Because Of this fact. he said, we hnd
in so many Of our cities that the public
utility corporation is a corrupttns In
huence in politics, and either owns out
right or in some way controls the
newspapers. hence the people have no
way Of exacting good service MT
Love believes that the public can bor-
row money cheaper thsn private cor
porations. and that it can operate pup
lie utilities Just as cheaply. Pubic
ownership he stated. has been big
success in England.
His concrete examples OF public
ownership in this country were quoted
mostly from the experiences OF cities
with water plants. but he believes that
the same principles hold good as to
other public utilities.
Promptly upon the close OF Mr. Loves
address which was read from manu-
script President Boardman declared the
meeting adjourned without the usual
question period and discussion.
The attendance at this the last meet
| ing. was not up to the average owing
to bad weather conditions and other

Dam Up Break in Asher Crock Bank
-Appraisement by Shsriff's Jury.

Desiring to protect its wells and its
water in the lowlands near the river
the city council is preparing to have
condemned a tract of land Of from
about ten to twenty acres near the
water supply field The city wants this
land to insure it's water supply from
being damaged, and to prevent the
river from changing it's channel above
the dam.
So far the council has not been able
to come to terms with the owner, l. N
Long, regarding the price for the land,
The council has decided that, in order
to get possession. it must institute con-
demnation proceedings.
Tract West of Center.
The tract the city wants to acquire is
west of the Center street road, at
point west of the first two bridges
northwest of the river bridge. and just
south Of the land owned by the city
where the wells are. The tract runs
west TO take in bend of Asher creek.
thru which part of the water OF the
river has been emptied since a new
channel was cut thru from back OF the
soldiers home grounds.
During the high water the current
broke thru this bend and widened the
channel thru the concrete bridge, whlch
is the second bridge northwest OF the
river bridge After the water Went
down a large volume Of 1t still con-
tinued to run thru this channel.
Uncovered Suction Line.
Once it got possession of this land.
the city would dam up this break IN
the bank of Asher creek and turn the
water thru the usual channel OF the
creek out into the river above the dam.
It is claimed by the city that when
the gate is up in the dam as much
water runs thru this new channel as
thru the gate.
Another curren. Of water that cut
around the Long land that Is dtked,

that draws water from the wells to the
city pumping station. Before the city
drove piling and supported this pipe
where it had been uncovered. there was
danger that the line might break In two
