NO CAUSE FOR ALARM
Tariff Changes Will Little Dis
turb Business Conditions.
Producing interests Of the Nation Can
Quickly Adjust Themselves to the
New Condltions-Nothino to
Justify Panic.

Debate is the order in the senate on
the Underwood-Simmons tariff bill.
For the first time in our history a tar
if bill comes from the senate finance
committee with rates lower than when
the bill passed the house. The senate
finance committee has made many re-
auctions end adjustments. 1t has
transferred pig iron. ingots. and steel
rails to the free list: it has adjusted
the duties on the cereals: It has cor
rected errors in the cotton schedule.
One may disagree with some OF the
features of the senate bill, but he will
have to admit that 1t is an honest care
full effort to revise the tariff.
Political prophets to the contrary
Notwithstanding. there is absolutely
nothing in the bill to justify any panic

islation, but our economic condition
is sound. No parallel a be drawn
between the situation now and that OF
1893 and 1894. The Underwood-Sim'
mons bill Is in no sense a free-trade
measure. II the producing interests
of the nation will keep their courage
and face the new situation with de
termination. they will quickly adjust
themselves to new conditions. These
being the facts, senators should choose
their words in debate with care. Crit
icisms of the senate bill are not only
not Objectionable, but desirable. The
bill can be improved in many places
by amendment. lhflammatory speech
es, however. should be frowned on ano
condemned. Politicians who prophesy
destruction do more to fulfll theil
prophecy than their opponents. The
psychological element in the tariff
problem Is always large and today i
dominant. Those in power who hav'
the public ear should calm rather thal
further agitate the troubled waters o

Besides leading both upstairs and
down, 1t gives a grade entrance TO
the cellar. a side entrance to the
kitchen, and It takes up very little
room.
Downstairs the main feature is the
dining room, which is large enough TO
make a comfortable sitting room; and
il is especially attractive on account
of the three windows and the crate.
Where a chimney can be so placed
as to accommodate the furnace in the
cellar, the range in the kitchen and
the CRATE in the dining room, you get
a large amount of comfort and salts
faction with comparatively little ex'
pense. Other advantages in a chin
ney like this are that it usually draws
better; 1t climbs out into the upper air
through the peak of the roof. where 1t
Is better supported by the house and
where it is easier to fix the roof
around 1t so that it will not leak. Still
another advantage Is the additional
height. which insures a better draft.
Chimneys like this draw better for
another ~reason-they are surrounded
by warm rooms, and the fiues are
easily heated. Hot air naturally goes
up; so the ordinary cold draft OF the
chimney is increased by this natural
phenomenon. All you have to do Ia
have things right, is to follow natural
laws and take advantage OF them to
m the end desired.

with the Ross Investment Co., of
Spokane, for its rs foot lot on
Main street which was formerly
occupied by the Idaho Meat Com
pany's building, and with the local
order of Odd Fellows for a ten foot
width of their adjoining lot. This
deal gives Reid a IS foot frontage
on Main street. The lots are 12C
feet deep.
Mr.. Reid is already preparing
for the erection of a one-story
brick building and basement and
actual construction is to be com
menced within three weeks or sc
days. The building is to have
dimensions of 90 by IS feet and the
walls will be built with a view o.
adding another story sometime il
the future.
The new brick block is to cos
somewhere in the neighborhood o
$4,000. It will be steam heated
and modern in every respect. A
balcony is to be built in the rear O
the building one side of which Mr.
Reid will use for private Office ant
the other side will be utilized for
! ladies' rest room.
