COMMISSIONER WALLIS
WRITES ON WATER QUESTION

While at Washington, during his
recent trip east, James II. Wallis,
state pure food commissioner, called
upon the Idaho Congressional dele
cation aud the proper government
officials in behalf of the extension
of the Caribou forest reserve for the
purpose of protecting the Montpelier
water system. In q letter to Mayor
Cough, under date of July Z, Mr..
Wallis expresses the belief that the
proposed extension will be granted
by Congress at the regular session
next winter. His letter is as follows:
"A. B. Cough, Mayor,
Montpelier, idaho,
Dear Sir: just returned from my
trip east, and desire to state that
while in Washington, d. c., / made
it my business to do what / could to
further the movement your city
council has made towards including
the water shed of the Montpelier
creek in the Caribou Forest Reserve,
so that it might be kept in a more
sanitary condition than has been the
case. Bills have been introduced in
both branches of congress for this
purpose, but cannot possibly get thru
this session because congsess is called
specially to consider tariff legislation.
The bill introduced in the Senate
had to be Withdrawn for correction
on account Of the fact that part of
the description was wrong. I saw
several Senators on the committee
to whom this bill was referred and
explained to them, as State Sanitary
Inspector of Idaho, Investigations /
have made of your watershed and
they assured me that nothing could
prevent the passage of the measure.
also saw Mr.. Potter, Assistant Sup
erintendent of Forestry, and went
over the matter with him, and he
gave me his personal assurance that
he would see that the bill was report
ed faYorably from the committee and
and then advanced on the calender
for Immediate disposition In De-
cember, when congress meets in reg
ular session.
Il agree with you upon the plan
outlined for lettering the conditions
of your water supply. believe by
reservoiring your water SO as to per-
nit It to settle before going into the
altering beds, it will give you bet
ter results and a safer water. The
reservoir certainly needed cleaning
out and putting in good condition.
'sAny further help that this de-
partment can render you and your
city council in the protecting OF pub
lie health, you have only to call on
u.s.
wishing you continued success in
your position as mayor Of your enter
prlslng city, l am,
Very sincerely yours,

Commissioner.

To help make up the loss
in revenue which will result
from the Underwood tariff
bill, the democrats now pro-
pose TO place a tax of 5 cents
on each bunch of bananas
that comes into the United
States. That small tax prob
ably will not increase the
cost of bananas, although it
will produce something like a
million dollars in revenue
each year. But then, why
not let bananas come in free,
as they have in the past, and
place that tax on some pro-
duct which comes in compe-
tition with the same product
in this country. The demo-
cratic idea, though, seems to
be to tax what this country
can't produce and admit free
what can be produced here.
