Playing legal games ut the ex-
pense Of the public, and thrash
ing out personal grievances while
the taxpayers pay for it. are JOY
ous pursuits permitted and en-
couraged by our laws.
;. Suits can be begun in our court
by payment of $12 when calling
for a jury, and payment of few
dollars filing fees to the court.
The county then furnishes jurors,
a jury. a Judge, plenty of bailiffs,
q nice warm courtroom in a good
courthouse on a valuable lot in
the center of the city, and the
lawyers go to it," Litigants
pay for their own witnesses and
lawyers, but the heavy expenses
Of the court are paid by the
county.
= This week furnished an ex-
ample of the unfairness of our
court laws upon the bulk of the
people. The celebrated Spring
dale cases" had resulted in a suit
bye. E. Bartholomew against E.
M. Hodgson. The Springdale
cases had already cost this county
many thousands of dollars, but
the law allowed Bartholomew to
bring suit against Hodgson, that
sh evident personal grievance
might be settled. The lawyers of
course took advantage of the oc-
casion, and the hearing of the
case was enlivened by sufficient
repartee and personal history to
make it worth an admission fee
for listeners.
The actual trial of the case was
at the expense of this county,
and whichever way the case
went this county did not stand
a chance to benefit by the case.
Yet the county pays for the
greater part of the expense.
Court expenses come out Of the
county's current expense fund,
and the commissioners have no
control over this expense. Yet
they are forced to make a levy
which will pay the court expenses,
and the people are forced to come
through with the taxes to pay it.
The Bartholomew Hodgson case
is only a sample of many other
cases which are annually brought
in our court. This particular
case is mentioned because it is a
good example of the personal ele-
ment. When litigants shall be
forced to pay ALL of the expenses
in their cases, then will our resi-
dents pay less taxes.

FINANCIAL BILL
NOT FOR BANKS


the Trust Company section of
the American Bankers associa-
tion opened the annual proceed
ings of that body with the fol-
lowing statement:
1T is matter of the greatest
regret that the Aldrich bill,
which was prepared by the ma
tional monetary commission after
an exhaustive investigation of
the leading monetary systems of
the world, failed to pass con-
gress at it's last regular session.
The federal reserve act now un-
der consideration by congress is
not conside: ed a satisfactory cur
rency measure by the bankers of
the country at large"
The country has known that
the currency reform measure be-
fore congress is not satisfactory
to the bankers of the country.
The country may now know the
reason why it is not satisfactory.
This measure provides an elastic
currency substantially in the
manner of the Aldrich bill.
It provides mobilization of
bank reserves against their use
by stock market gamblers in
creating panic conditions and for
their use in preventing panic.
1t provides rediscount system
like the Aldrich bill.
1t divides the country into re-
discount districts like the Aldrich
bill.
1t extends these privileges to
state banks and trust companies
like the Aldrich bill.
1t provides a broader market
for business paper like the AL
drich bill.
1t provides for limited farm
land loans like the Aldrich bill.
It provides for foreign branch
banks like the Aldrich bill.
It offers to member banks more
liberal profits, more liberal redis-
count privileges and more liberal
cash reserve privileges than did
the Aldrich bill.
But it is not satisfactory to the
bankers at large" while the
Aldrich bill was and is.
We now know why. The con-
clusion is inescapable, the con.
fession is complete.
They do not want currency re-
form, they do not want bank re-
serves removed from Wall street
control, they do not want, or
want the country to have any of
these great financial advantages
and safeguards, provided alike
by the Aldrich and by this bill.
so much as they want a central
bank. which the Aldrich bill
alone provided; so much as they
want such a bank under their
own control, as that bill alone
provided; so much as they want
a voluntary bank membership in
the new system which the big
bankers could use to maintain
their control over the country's
banking credit, as that bill alone
provided. 1t is now a matter
of the greatest regret" that they
did not rush that bill through
when they had a congress more
nearly under their control. New

Among the hardships which
will fall upon the Stevens county
farmers and homesteaders. as
result of the democratic tariff
law, is an increase of 10 per cent
in the duty on diamonds and
pearls. Champagne retains the
old duty of six-bits a quart, and
bay rum still takes 45c a quart.
The fact that agricultural i'm
plements are changed from Is
per cent to the free list, will per-
haps partly mitigate the offense,
but the affront to the day laborer
in increasing his monthly dia-
mond bill should not go unnoticed
by those papers which have sup
ported the opposition to tariff
changes.

Cocktails to Make Final Test.
The first vessel to pass through the
canal probably will be boat of the
Isthmian canal commission, Col.
George w. Cocktails, chairman OF the
commission and chief engineer of the
canal, and his principal assistants.
The final voyage through the canal is
scheduled for some time during this
month. Within another month 1t is
expected the waters in Gatun lake
will have risen high enough to bring
the waters in the entire canal up to
the deep water level required for the
passage Of the largest ships.
1t is said that as long ago as the
early part of August, assurances were
given Washington officially that If the
emergency should arise, the entire
Atlantic battleship feet could be put
through the canal into Pacific waters
within 80 days from that date. The
work has been hurried with that end
In view, 1t is said, as no emergency
has existed, but this assurance is an
indication of the belief of the engi-
neers that their work is now practical
ly finished.
culebra Cut Caused Trouble.
The excavation of the Culebra cut,
into which the water has just been
turned, has been one OF the engineer
ing feats connected with the building
Of the canal, and has caused the en-
gineers more trouble than any 9TH
er portion of the big ditch" To
Col D. D. GaillaEd, the engineer of
the central division, is given the
credit for carrying this portion of the
work through to a successful termina-
ton.
The disastrous slides in the cut
were discouraging to the engineers,
multiplying In few hours the work of
many weeks, but Colonel Gaillard and
his assistants have kept untiringly at
their work, and at last have conquer
ed the treacherous banks Of the deep
cut. The engineers believe that the
danger Of slides will be eliminated
now that the water has been turned
into the cut.
A little more than a month ago the
giant steam shovels finished their
work in the Culebra cut Since that
time the workmen have been busy
removing the shovels, the railroad
tracks and other machinery used in
the excavation work. There is still
some dirt to be removed from the cut
before the channel is finished, but
this work will be done by suction

Removal of Gamboa Dixie Means
End of>Work Is Near.
WATERS OF OCEANS MEET
First, Steps Arc Taken Toward De-
structlon Of Big Embankment
Which Holds Gatun Lake Out
Of Culebra Cut.

Colon, Panama, Oct 1.-The climax
Of nine years of untiring work on the
part of the men who have been build
ing the Panama canal came today
when the waters of Gatun lake were
permitted to run for the first time
into the Culebra cut. This simple
operation marked the virtual compile
ton of the great isthmian waterway.
The water was permitted to flow
into the cut today through four 26-
inch pipes extending through the
Gamboa dixie, which has held the
waters Of the lake back from the cut.
This was done in order that there
may be enough water in the cut to
prevent any damage when the dixie is
finally removed.
The final destruction of the big dixie
is scheduled for October 10, when
charges of dynamite placed In holes
already drilled in the dixie will be ex-
ploded. The explosion Of these
charges will not completely destroy
the dixie, but will weaken 1t and loos-
en- the dirt so that the force of the
waters from Gatun lake will carry 1t
away. Steam shovels will remove the
remnants of the dixie, leaving an open
passageway from ocean to ocean.
Canal Really Complete Now.
Although the canal will not be Off
eially declared completed for some
time, and the formal opening of the
waterway to the commerce of the
world more than a year distant, the
canal engineers look upon the de-
struction Of the Gamboa dixie as mark
ing the real completion of the canal.
The big engineering feats have all
been accomplished, the excavation
work practically has been completed,

and the great locks have been con-
structed. The work that remains to
be done is largely detail, and is but
childs play as compared with that
which has been done. More dirt is
to be removed from the channel, but
this will be done with suction dredges
floating upon the waters of the canal.
There still remain some finishing
touches to be placed upon the locks,
but this work will take comparatively
little time and presents no engineer
ing difficulties such as have been en-
countered in the past.
The fact that the canal stands prac-
tically complete more than year be-
fore the time originally set as the
date for its completion is one of the
remarkable features of the work.
When Count de Lesseps, the great
French engineer, abandoned his eff
forts to build the Panama canal after
eight years of labor, he had scarcely
made a beginning upon the gigantic
task. In nine years, the American
engineers, starting almost at the same
point as de Lesseps, for the latter's
work was of little value to the Ameri-
cans, have virtually completed the
undertaking. When the work was
started the world scoffed at the idea
that it could be completed within the
time limit set, but hats are now off
to the American army engineers who
have more than kept their word, de-

dredges floating on the waters of the
canal, and will not interfere with nav
igation of the waterway by such boats
as may be allowed to pass through.
Immense Artificial Lake Created.
Gatun lake, the waters of which are
now flowing into the Culebra cut, is
the pivotal point about which the en-
tire canal system revolves, and the
creation Of this lake, together with the
construction of Gatun dam, consti-
tuted another great engineering feat
In the construction of the canal.
Gatun lake is an artificial body of
water covering about 1874 square miles
of territory and was created by the
building of the immense Gatun dam
and the impounding of the wild wa
tiers of Chagres river. Beneath the
waters of Gatun lake lies what few
months ago was the valley of the
Chagres, dotted with native villages
and plantations. The channel of the
canal passes through this lake for a
distance of "a miles with width vary
ing from 500 to 1000 feet.
At the northern end of the lake
is the Gatun dam, which is In reality
an artificial ridge more than mile
and a half long. Figures alone give
an adequate idea of the magnitude Of
this dam. Nearly half a mile wide at
its base, about 400 feet wide at the
water surface, and 100 feet wide at
the top, the dixie which many engi-
