TARIFF BILL PASSES SENATE BY VOTE TO 81 THIS AFTERNOON
Los Angeles
to Aid Fight
on Diversion

The Los Angeles Chamber of
Commerce is the latest ally to be
recruited in the fight to prevent
the diversion Of Grand River wat
er to the eastern slope. That or
ganization is making an effort to
conserve the water supply for the
Imperial valley, which it holds
is jeopardized by the proposed
HenIylyn tunnel.
The organization will enlist
federal aid in its fight, if posi-
bic, and will, through kindred
organizations and the press of the
west, arouse a public sentiment
against the proposed diversion of
water from the Colorado River
basin to the Mississippi River
basin.
Secretary Lane has declared
that he will never permit such a
diversion, if it will impair the
rights of any western slope water
rights or jeopardize the rights of
settlers on this side of the range.
At present the brunt of the
fight is being borne by the recla-
nation service. The government
insists that the supply for the
High Line canal is endangered
by the proposed diversion to the
Henrylyn and other projects in
eastern Colorado.

By Edward Keating, Congressman at
Large from Colorado.
Washington, Sept. 9.-Before one
has been in congress very long he
discovers that practically all legisla-
tive work is done in committee or in
caucus. The proceedings on the
floor, which prove SO interesting to
the occupants of the crowded CALLER
les, are frequently only the fire
works displays to celebrate the
achievement.
1t is because of this that some of
us have been insisting that all eau
cuses and committee meetings shall
be open to the press and public. We
want "the breezes of public opinion
to blow through the places where the
course of public business is fixed. We
have been fairly successful in our
fight. Practically all the committees
hold open meetings now, and while
the democratic caucus is still behind
closed doors, the journal of its pro-
ceedings is carefully kept and, to-
gether with record votes. is given to
the press.
There is a disposition in some quar-
ters to condemn the caucus and to
demand it's abolition. cannot
entirely share in this view. | do not
believe we have anything to fear from
the open caucus. On the contrary
am onvinced that it can be made a
most effective engine to work the
peoples will.

Associated Press.

Coaticook. Que, Sept. 9.-William
T. Jerome's acquittal last night on
the charge of gambling was the chief
topic among the residents here to-
day, although opinion is divided on
the verdict. The scathing remarks
of Magistrate Mulvena, who apollo
gized to Jerome for the indignity to
which he had been subjected and
declared that the charges had been
justified neither by the law nor the
facts, had SOLDERING effect.
Jerome is motoring to Albany to-
day. He will return to Montreal for

Washington, Sept. 9.-Bishop II.
j. Donahue OF Wheeling, w. Va,
yesterday told the senate investigat-
ing committee that the greed of the
coal operators as well as of the min
ers was the cause of the West Virgin
ia strike He told of exorbitant prices
being charged at the company stores,
sometimes from 10 to 25 per cent
above the market.
The bishop belonged to a commits
sion which Investigated the condi-
tions along Paint and Cabin creeks.
He was agreeably surprised at the
conditions in and about the homes
OF the workmen. "Of course, we
found no Turkish rugs, but the
homes were fairly comfortable" he
told the committee.
Were the men contented," was
asked.
81 can best answer in the words OF
witness Griffith, who said that the
men would not be satisfied until they
owned the mines"
Senator Martin asked If the labor
unions had not organized for the
good of their members.
THAT may be one reason" replied
the bishop. Another is to furnish
fat salaries to officials"
The bishop later said: "Get some
of these horrible ideas of infidelity
and doubt and socialism worked out
of the miners minds, and nurture q
wholesome religious view of life and
conditions would be better"

RANSDEL AND THORNTON CAST
THEIR VOTES AGAINST IT.
The principal changes made by the
senate concern the free list and the
income tax The house leaders be-
lieve that these changes will reduce
the revenue and hope in conference
to get the senate to agree to restore
some of the house provisions.
The senate changes include the re-
duction of the income tax minimum
from 81 900 to $4,000 with higher
tax ON larger incomes, and counter
yailing duties on some manufactur-
ers' commodities to meet the free
listing of raw materials. The coun-
teryailing duty ON wood pulp was
eliminated, while the free woll and
sugar schedules We're not changed.
The republicans today gave up the
hope of carrying any of the amend
ments and permitted many votes to
be taken without the formality of
roll call.

products was opened, Thornton and

Tee in cutting Off Tie 70 per cent
duty fixed on cattle in the house bill
and putting them on the free, list
was ratified by vote of 81 to 2S.

free wheat. The house bill imposed
duty of 10 cents bushel, and the

fort to remove the duty of one-tenth

Unless the people are ready to take
on this additional burden they had
better take no chances on the Tax
payers ticket.
Do not be deceived about the i'm
provement not costing money. A plan
has been figured out whereby the sys-
tenn can be put in without increasing
the taxes. Every proposed bond issue
has somebody or other who can figure
out that the authorization of the
bonds will not increase taxes and in
most instances reduce them. The
figures do not pan out. Our taxes
keep on increasing year by year and a
large per cent is for Improvements
Another thing to remember is that
the benefited property always pays
for improvements. That is a habit
property has. Improvements are not
Paid for by others than the benefited
property owners. When the plan is

THE UNDERGROUND IRRIGA
TON SYSTEM.

Sooner or later Caldwell will put
in an underground irrigation system
This is an improvement that will be
needed in time. However it is too
soon to even consider such a system.
The taxpayers are already carrying a
heavy load-in fact load that is en-
tirely too heavy. The cost of the un-
foreground irrigation system will be
at least 100000 and probably twice
that amount. The Taxpayers party
believes that the underground system
should be investigated and all data and
facts placed before the people for their
consideration. That sounds all RICH,
and in way is all right. 1t has been
the experience Of the people of Cald-
well that the administration in power
has always found some way or other
to make the improvements that /,
wanted to make. If absolutely necs-
sary special election was called al
which light vote was cast and usu-
ally in favor Of the proposed improve
ment, 1t is hard to get the people out
to special elections and specially when;
there is an election of some kind or
other every few weeks. The election
OF the Taxpayers ticket will mean that
already the People are in favor of the
proposed Improvement and will justify
submitting the question to the people.
