WANT STATE TO CLEAR LAND
Farmers Would Have Logged Off
Acres Made Ready.

Olympia Establishment of a ST.
900, 900 fund with which to clear the
states logged-of land for the benefit
of settlers and immigrants will be
sought during the session of the Wash
ington legislature by delegations rep
resenting the agricultural districts.
A powerful vote is said to have lined
up behind a bill introduced in the
house by Pierce, providing for the fund
and for general system of improving
and selling of the states land.
The measure provides for the appro-
priation of 81, 900, 600 out of the gen
eral fund and the levying of special
tax of one mill to raise another ST.
600, 1000. The plan is to clear off all
the state land suitable for agriculture
and divide it into ten-acre tracts to
sell to small settlers and immigrants.
The clearing can be done, according to
the plan, as the ground is sold.
Pierce would have commission an
pointed comprising five persons to Sc
lect the land and supervise the clear
ing and the sale. He would limit the
tracts to ten acres and sell to the
class of settlers which are expected to
come to the Pacific Coast in thousands
when the Panama canal is opened.
The scheme is said to have manv
supporters in both branches of the leg
islature, the majority being farmer
members who are DESTROYS of seeing
the farming communities built up.
These members will get behind the
Pierce bill, it is declared, and attempt
to force it through. While all are not
agreed as yet to some Of the provisions
Of the bill, as introduced, it is said the
majority are,

BORDER TOWN is PROTECTED
ReinfOrcements Reach Juarez and
Rebels Fall Back.

Ell Paso, Tex.-All rebel forces have
disappeared from the vicinity of Juar-
ez, now reinforced beyond fear OF
attack. In addition to 800 infantry
on railway patrol trains coming IN,
500 irregular cavalry, under Colonel
Manuel Landa arrived Friday. This
leaves more than 1000 government
troops in the border town.
The cavalry came from the vicinity
of Ahumada, selected by the federal
government as the place of the pro-
posed peace conference. They arrived
over the Mexican Central railway,
which has been repaired temporarily
from Ahumada to the border. The
Mexico Northwestern railroad remains
closed below Juarez, and rebels are
burning bridges on the English-Cana-
dian line to within a few miles of
Juarez.
All is reported quiet along the Dor
der patrolled by United States troops
out of Fort Bliss. With the Ell Paso-
Juarez port still closed, owing to the
uncertainty of all railway traffic, the
United States Customs department has
closed the port of Columbus, N. M,
for all entries. The unsettled condi-
ton in the Casas Grandes district be-
low the New Mexican line has resulted
in much cattle stealing.

Three Thousand Acres Withheld.

San Francisco-F. C.. 'Dozendorf,
chief of the field division of the Fed
eral land office here, has received Or
ders from Secretary Fisher, of the de-
partment of the interior, to begin his
investigation of transactions between
Louis R. CLAWS, deposed secretary of
the State Conservation commission,
and timber companies to which CLAWS
is alleged to have given preferential
listings. Dozendorf was advised
that, pending his findings, patents for
about 10000 acres of the land in ques-
tion would be withheld.
The investigation will cover con-
tracts said to have been made between
CLAWS and several timber concerns,
including the Weed, McCloud and
West Side Lumber companies, in
which, according to charges made,
while he was secretary of the Conserv-
alton commission, he agreed to pro-
cure for the companies special listings
of land near Redding, CAL, giving
them advantages over weaker claim

MORO STRONGHOLD is TAKEN
Americans and Native Allies Wipe
Out Troublesome Band.

Washington, D. C.-Forty or so
Moros died in the struggle which took
place in the Philippines six miles west
of Jolo last Thursday, report OF
which has just reached the War de-
partment from Major-General Bell,
commanding the Philippine division.
Following up his proclamation OF
two years ago, ordering all natives OF
the Jolo group to disarm, General
Pershing despatched Colonel Eben
Swift of the Eighth cavalry to clear
up the country near Jolo. An expedi-
ton was organized under Patrick Nc
Nally, captain of the Philippine
scouts, who lost his life in the fight.
The expedition consisted of the
Fourteenth, Thirty-First and Fortieth
companies of the Philippine scouts, a
detachment of American troops, with
field gun and some Of the Moro
Philippine constabulary.
This force was sent against Gotta,
six miles west of Jolo, where large
band of Moros had been standing
menace to the city and garrison at
Taglibi. The Moros had not hesitated
to attack American troops in camp,
and it was decided to break the power
of their chief, Sahipa. The Moro
position was strongly defended by
walls, bamboo entanglements and deep
bitches.

INCOME TAX MAY BE NEEDED
Reduction of Tariff Would Greatly
Decrease Revenues.

Washington, D. ca feature of
the tariff revision programme of the
extra session of congress may be the
raising of $500, 900, 600 from an in
come tax, including the corporation
tax. Representative Hull, of Tennes-
see, Democratic member of the COM
mittee on ways and means, who has
been active in income-tax problems,
plans to introduce a bill which would
provide such source of revenue.
This would be considered by the
committee in connection with contem-
plated early ratification of the consti-
tutional amendment to sanction in
come tax legislation. Of the neces-
sary number of states required for rat
ification, only two are lacking. Mr..
Hull expects these to be drawn from
New Jersey, Wyoming, New Mexico
or West Virginia, or possibly Florida,
whose legislature, however, will not
meet until April.
The Democratic majority of the
committee favors an income tax, but
in the event of failure of ratification
will renew the excise tax plan as an
extension of the present corporation
tax law.

SINGLE TERM IDEA OPPOSED
Presidential Recall Musters Only
Ten Votes In Senate.

Washington, D. c. = Presidential
terms ranging all the way from two 70
six years, propositions against second
terms and third terms, as exemptions
that would affect Roosevelt, TAFT ana
Wilson, and proposals for the recall
and the direct popular election OF pres
idents, were thrust into the senate IN
rapid succession in the first days con-
sideration of the constitutional amend
ment limiting president to a single
term of six years.
In session filled with lively de-
hate. Senator Bristow's proposition
that a president could be recalled al
anv regular election was voted down,
58 to 10. and Senator Hoke Smiths
amendment to make the single term
four years, instead of six, was defeat
ed, AZ to rs.
More than a dozen amendments
were pending when the senate adj
journed.
Senators Dixon and Poindexter,
Progressives, Bristow, progressive
Republican, and Lodge, Republican,
led the fight against a restriction Of
the presidential term. Senator Will.
liams, Democrat, proposed four-yeal
term, with the privilege of one re-
election, but his amendment was sc
drawn as to prevent Colonel Roosevelt
from seeking another election.
The defeat of the Bristow amend
ment for recall of the president fol
lowed a short debate in which Sena
tor Bristow urged that to make the
Federal administration properly re-
sponsive to public demand, the PEG
pie should have the right to change
the president when they change con
gress.
The vote on the recall amendment
mustered ten votes only in its favor.
