m emergency exists.

an emergency exists San Francisco may be in inned fate need of an increaseG supply of water but her own engineers adnl! that the present supply can be more than doubled by adding to nearby sources and this plan in any case will have to be followed, for years will be required to bring water to the city from any of the Sierra sources.
 "The Advisory Board of Army .;a- gineers is of the opinion that ther4 are several sources of water supply that could be obtained and used Dv the City of San Francisco and adia- cent communities to supplement tue nearby supplies as the necessity de- velops. From any one of these sources the water is sufficient in quantity and is, or can, be made. suitable in quality
 We are preparing data based on the reports of the Army Engineers which will demonstrate that San Francisco can obtain abundance of pure water from other sources tl.an the Tuolumne Hetch Hetchy.
 t,So important a bill should not b. pushed through Congress without ma ture consideration and time allowed for its opponents to be heard Any thing less would be unjust to the American people. Therefore, in be- half of all who appreciate our noun tain parks and believe that they should be preserved, we call on you to aid us in postponing consideration of this destructive bill until the next regular session of Congress.
 "Ever since the establishment of the Yosemite National Park by Act of Congress, October Sth, 1890, constant strife has been going on around its boundaries and is likely to go on as part of the universal battle be- tween good and evil however much it's boundaries may be broken or it's wild beauty destroyed.
 "Over ten years ago when the first application was made for the use of Hetch Hetchy as San Francisco reservoir the Secretary of the Interior then holding office emphatically deni- ed the right, saying in part: Presumably the Yosemite Nation al Park was created such by law be- cause of the natural objects, of vary ing degrees of scenic importance, To- cated within it's boundaries, inclusive alike of it's beautiful small lakes, like Eleanor, and it's majestic won- ders, like Hetch Hetchy and Yosemite Valley. It is the aggregation of such natural scenic features that makes the Yosemite Park wonderland which the Congress of the United States sough by law to preserve for all coming time as nearly as practic- able in the condition fashioned by the hand of the Creator-a worthy object of national pride and source of
 healthful pleasure and rest for the thousands of people who may annual ly sojourn there during the heated
 months.'
 'In behalf of all the people of the Nation we ask your aid in putting an
 end to these assaults on our NATION
 AL PARKS and to prevent this meas ure from being rushed through before it can be brought to the attention of
 all the millions of people who own
 this park"

THE FARMERS WILL BEAR THE
 BURDEN

BURDEN If the amendment to the tariff bill putting tax on cotton futures is a revenue producing measure the charge is so high that it will destroy the business, and therefore the amendment fails of it's purpose, says the Memphis Commercial Appeal If the purpose of the tax is to Stop dealing in futures, then it is legislaF -tion using subterfuge to. accomplish an end.
 The proponents of the measure want to stop dealing in cotton futures. There are abuses in the cotton busi-, ness, just as there are abuses in alp other lines of endeavor. But if every commercial activity was destroyed be- cause in it certain men operated on unjust lines, there would be no busi- ness.
 The effect of this cotton tax will be first, to limit the cotton market. Futures will be bought and sold in Europe but not in America. Europe will fix the price of cotton and the holder will have no voice therein.
 If the business survives the tax, the tax will be squarely upon the pro- duCer.
 man having cotton to sell will find deduction for the tax just as he }. finds one, for instance for drayage, etc.
 If the future markets is entirely de- stroyed then will the cotton grower be ina position where he will be abso- lutely at the mercy of the spot buyer. Men today sell cotton and are forced at times to go into the market and buy spots to make deliveries.
 If there were not future markets the cotton would be moved from the local warehouse just as the mill man thinks he may need it. In the fall of the year when the rush begins, the markets will be glutted.
 The buyer, having no way to protect himself against future decline, will get his only assurance of a profit by taking it out of the grower.
 The planter will come into posi- ton where it will be absolutely inn possible for him to sell his cotton for any price for a month or two months.
 It is fact that planter expecting to grow thousand bales of cotton can sell that cotton today at price of the year.
 He may not deliver the cotton, but the fact of his right to do so makes it possible for him to make the future sale.
 If planter does not sell futures but lands thousand bales of cotton in the Memphis market during tn, month of November, he can sell tha cotton any day in the month either a the market price or he can sel futures and tender his cotton agains it.
 Under the proposed law the plante might land thousand bales of cotto to Memphis and he could not sell tha cotton for six months. The abolishing of futures woul marrow the market and whenever market is narrowed then comes chance for the trust the pool or tn corner.
 The cotton crop every year is wort around hillion dollars. Narrow Il market and the financing of cottt crop afteffit is harvested during tv rtllree months at the expense s1 COG. .0Oo will be staggering pro lem.

PRESERVE OUR NATIONAL PARKS

JOIlu MulT WIIlcS III UcudIl u tilC National Parks most interestingly and as the national park question is of a nation wide interest at this time, the Graphic reproduces a recent lat- ter issued by Mr. Muir, who is an au thority on public parks:
 "The Yosemite National Park is not only the greatest and most Wor- derful playground in California, but in some of it's features it is without rivss in the whole world-its Sil- yer Fir and Sequoir forests-its twin songful rivers and it's twin Yosemlles. 1t belongs to the American people and in universal interest ranks With the Yellowstone and the Grand Canyon of the Colorado. The head waters of the two rivers embraced within it's boundaries are the Merce} and the Tuolumne. The Yosemite Valley is in the Merced Basin: ille lHetch Hetchy Valley, the Grand Can yon of the Tuolumne, and the Tuol- umne Meadows are in the Tuo,umac Basin. Excepting only the Yosemite Valley, the Tuolumne Basin ill is general features is the more wonder full and larger half of the Park
 "The Hetch Hetchy Valley is won derfully exact counterpart 0. the great Yosemite, not only in it's sub lime cliffs and waterfalls aud it's peaceful river, but in the eardeni, groves, meadows and camp grounds on it's flowery park-like floor
 "At a recent session of Congress a most deteremined attack was made by the City of San Francisco to get the right to use the Hetcn Hctchy Valley as a reservoir site, thus ie- l priving ninety millions of people of one of their most priceless posses sions for the sake of saving San
 Francisco dollars.
 l "As soon as this scheme 5ecCn,es
 manifest, public spirited citizens all
 over the country entered theic pro
 tests, and before the session was l over, the Park invaders saw thai I they were defeated and permitted the
 bill to die without bringing it to 2
