Congressman Fordney's Views

From the Saginaw Courier-Herald OF Sunday.
Congressman Joseph w. Fordney
came home Friday and returned today
to Washington. He anticipates that
the final adjournment of congress will
come by Aug. 18th or Goth. The pas
sage of the wool bill was what he ex-
pected. He is equally confident that
Pres. Taft will veto the measure. THE
people will do we'll to see to 1t that the
protection defenses of prosperity are
not removed" said Mr.. Fordney.. Il
think all the tariff bills are likely to be
vetoed if they are passed. believe the
senate will not recede from its position
retaining some duty on sugar. The
house has passed the free sugar bill and
I doubt if the conference committee
will reach an agreement. In the event
of no change in the sugar tariff. think
the income tax bill will be vetoed If ii
passes for there would be no need OF
adding this to the present revenues.
Would an income tax be more
popular with some people than the
present tariff" Mr.. Fordney was
asked. Perhaps with people who
would not have to pay it, but you car
not lower the tariff, without working
disaster. When you lower the tariff
you will import more goods otherwise
you will not have the revenue. AS thu
tariff is now adjusted the balance o.
trade is in our favor. This means tha'
gold is flowing into the country. Th'
figures show over billion dollars
in gold in the treasury, repre-
sented in circulation by gold certih
Gates. If the balance of trade is against
us, this gold would go to other coun
tries and when gold goes out faster
than it comes in it is not long before
you have q panic. This caused thu
panic of '73. 1t caused the panic of %;
1896. Under the Wilson tariff the bal
ance of trade was against Us. Thi
necessitated the issuing Of bonds t.
maintain the gol dreserve. When TIT
tariff was changed gold came to thi
country because the balance Of trad
was again in our favor. When we I'm
port more then we export we invit
hard times. When we consume foreigl
made goods instead of home mad
goods we cripple our industry. Tba
means we can not employ labor as "
do now. In the past as some remembe
it meant free soup houses for the unem
ployed. do not believe the laborin
classes prefer that condition to what W
have now" concluded Mr. Fordney.

.E.E. WALL Is BOUND OVER ID GRAND
 JURY
Clifton Attorney Appears Before Justice MOder and Prelimi-
 nary Trial Was Held
 MOnday--Bond $500

The case of E. E. Wall, an attor- ney of Clifton, who was arrested in January, charged with uttering a check which was protested on presen- tation because of insufficient funds, was brought before Justice Moder on Monday and defendant was bound over to appear before the grand jury under bond in the sum of $500 which was furnished.
 The cause of action has two sides if not more.
 l.. Kearney who appeared for MT. Wall says that a check was drawn by that gentleman in favor of law book publishing house for a certain amount and mailed to the concern. That it came to the local bank on a day when MT. Wall was in Morenci, and the check was protested because Mir Walls balance was insufficient by about $30 to meet it. MT. Kear- ney says that MT. Wall went to the bank on his return and inquired if the check had been presented and was then prepared to deposit sufflc- tent to make up the difference, but he was informed that it had been pro- tested and returned to the eastern firm MT. Kearney intimateS that politics, personal spite and variety of other elements figure in the req sons for bringing the. charge, and that the real purpose behind the action is to so besmirch the character of MT. Wall as to render useless and 1mpoS- sible that gentleman's candidacy for District Attorney, a position to which he aSpireS.

Attorney Horton,s Position

Attorney E. " Horton who brought the action at the instance of the Law yer's Cooperative Publishing Co, of Rochester, N. Y, says that bill for law reports amounting to $56 was or dered by MT. Wall, who gave check for the amount and the. books were shipped to him. Before Justice Moder MT. Horton urged the point that at the date of drawing the check, MT
 Wall had no balance to check against but was slightly overdrawn, which fact if proven constitutes felony under the Arizona statutes. Former ly the overdrawing of an account was rated as a misdemeanor, but in l9ol, the Missouri law was incorporated in the statutes of Arizona, and in Co- chise county af CIV years since one Williams was sentenced to prison term for a similar offense.

DEAFNESS CANNOT BE CURED

NANNY DE SohGO by local applications, as they cannot reach the diseased portion of the ear There is only one way to cure deaf ness, and that is by constitutional rem edies. Deafness is caused by an in famed condition of the mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube. When this tube is inflamed you have a rum bling sound or imperfect hearing, and when it is entirely closed, Deafness is the result, and unless the inflammation can be taken out and this tube re- stored to it's normal condition, hearing will be destroyed forever; nine cases out of ten are caused by Catarrh, which is nothing but an infiamed con dition of the mucous surfaces.

COURT HOUSE SUPERINTEND-


 At recent meeting of the Board of Supervisors the services of J. A. Farrel, as Superintendent of construc- tiOn, were dispensed with by the Board. This action by the new board was intended to leave MT Heck in charge of the construction of the courthouse. MT. Farrel states that he will continue to discharge his du- ties as superintendent of construc- tion, in accordance with his contract with the old board and will bring suit if necessary to enforce his contract. In this connection AIT. Farrel has written the following communication for publication:
 Communicated
 As there are great many ways in which a Superintendent of construc- tion on public building may fail to tract and plans and specifications thereof, I deem it no more than an act of justice to myself to state few of the facts that came up at the first meeting of the new Board of Super visors.
 On or about the first of the present month, the contractor, MT Kroeger, came to me and asked me if I thought it was possible to get some money on tue LudC0Tldl u0 udQ OH tue as well as that which was in place. His contract called for payment on material in place. He had received a lot of material; one car of steel for re- inforcing; one car of cement; had all his floor joist framed, ready to drop in place; had a couple of cars of brick on the tracks, ready to unload; all his foundations in; and as his es- innate of the previous month had ~1r ,~% c,,G ficient to pay for his labor, he wanted to raise enough money to at least take car of the pay roll. I informed MT. Kroeger that it rested with the Board of Supervisors to make allow ances on the material not in place. In making out his estimate I entered the car of cement, car of reinforcing steel, and lumber, calling the Boards attention to them. In view of the fact that MT. Kroeger was under bond of Twenty-two Thousand dollars to complete the Court House, and there fore the county stood no. chance of loss, they agreed to make him the al lowance.
 Another matter that came up for decision was the cement brick made on the ground by the contractor for backing up purposes. The new board claimed that I had not made any com plant aDOut Sa1Q Dr1cK DelnS too SOIL. did make complaint to the old board and from tests made at different times showed that the strength of the brick was increasing with age. The resi- dent member advised me to let them go as long as possible, but before they went into the wall, they were to be put to a final test. There was at no time any fear of the contractor or myself allowing any inferior brick to go in the wall. What these bricks will stand when they attain their ul innate strength is a question that can only be answered by time.
 But I do not consider these the REAL REASONS why the Board

CURTISS ACT A FAILURE

Argus Leader: The Curtiss pamph-
let law is getting to be the joke OF the
state, IT cost nearly as much money
to issue the pamphlets as it would
have cost to give publicity in the
newspapers, and the state is being
searched in vain for a voter who read
II before the election. Now the men
who have been the strongest boosters
for the initiative and the referendum
declare that the people did not know
what they were doing when they vot-
ed on the special submissions. The
+" Aberdeen Guyser" will probably
never make another campaign on the
ground thai he did a wise thing in Sc
curing the passage of law which
prevented publicity at the very time
that publicity was essential. The
next legislature will of course repeal
the Curtiss law and never again trust
70 pamphlets which are new er read to
give publicity.
