POINTS ON IRRIGATION.

From the Dodge City Journal.
Down at Hutchinson they have what
they call Davy Crockett's casing for
irrigating wells.
Mr.. Crockett was an experienced ir
rigation man from California who
undertook to develop an irrigation
plant on the state reformatory farm.
When he took charge TO the irri.
eating at the Reformatory he had a
well dug which was eight feet in dia.
meter and twenty-five feet deep. He
found that he could pump this hole
dry with a draught OF 500 gallons a
minute, and he computed that in or
der to keep a 2OOO-gallon pump sup
Piled he would have to dig a well with
a diameter Of $50 feet.
This was impractical. He studied
the underflow of the Arkansas riy-
er. He found that while there was
an immense amount of water in the
sand and gravel it flowed into the
hoie at the rate of about eight feet
an hour, not sufficient for a high
power pump, and he drew plans for
a casing which has become a sue
cess.
Mr.. Crockett's casing is of ordinary

OFFICIALS SEE AMPLE REVENUE
Treasury Department Not Fearful Of
The New Schedules in Force.

Washington, Oct. 4-With the new
Democratic tariff law consummated,
activity today was transferred to
the treasury department where Sec
retary McAdOO began development of
a'plan of enforcement. Treasury Of
ticias declare the new act will be
the lowest tariff law in the countrys
history, with the possible exception
of the Walker tariff of 1916 and its
amendatOry tariff of 1857. With Pres
ident Wilson and the Confessional
trainers of the law, they declared it
was "a competitive tariff" and free
" expressed the conviction that bus
Hness would be invigorated and sus-
tained through dts operations. Off
elals were equally confident that it
would afford the government ample
revenue.
It is roughly estimated that $780,
oOO,OOO worth of merchandise, held in
bond, soon will be withdrawn. and
payment made under the new law.
Campaned with the Payne-Aldrich act
this will mean a loss of SIC. 900 900 tc
the government. Treasury officials
maintained these withdrawals would
have no perceptible effect upon the
business of the country.
The most difficult administrative
feature is the income tax provision.
This entirely new venture will re.
quire the work of experts to draft a
workable plan that will insure the
government receiving its lawful dues
from every taxable citizen. William
II. Osborn, commissioner of internal
revenue, today began the task Of
formulating as simple a plan as pos.

at present chief ct the corporation

ed deputy commissioner of enternal
revenue in immediate charge Of the
income tax.
Secretary Bryan today endorsed the
new tariff law as the best tariff
measure since the Civil war and he
predicted the early passage Of the
currency bill.
"An who have taken part in pre-
pairing and passing 1t are entitled to
great credit" said Mr.. Bryan IN
statement. 1T Is a better bill than
We were able to pass twenty years
ago, and rejoice that political con-
ditions are such as 10 make the pres
ent law possible"
The Wilson bill was compelled to
carry a burden that viii not fall up
on the present law and ought not to
have fallen ON that law. The Wilson
law provided for AN income tax,
which was held unconstitutional by a
divided vote, the one majordty hav-
ing been secured by change of op-
inion on the part of one Judge be-
tween the two hearings of the case.
The nullification Of the income tax
portion of the Wilson law reduced
the governments incline util it
would not meet the expenses of the
government and this compelled an
increase Of Indebtedness that threw
upon the bill an undeserved odium,
which, together with the fact that
the Senate deprived the bill of some
Of its best features, robbed the par
ty of the benefits which would ordi-
narily have come to it from a reduc-
tion in import duties. Then, too the
bill went into operation at a time
when financial conditions were very
bad, and many attributed to the law
the defects for which it was not at
all responsible.
81 mentioned the law of nineteen
years ago, because it Is the only
thing since the war with which We
can compare the present law. Both
economic as we'll as political condi-
tionS make it possible to do now the
things which could not be done at
that time.
New York. Oct. 4|The first effect
OF the new tariff to which President
Wilson's signature was written last
might was seen early today when the
clerical force at the customs house
was increased by fifteen men in
of one of the busiest
days in the history of this port.
In no customs district in the coun.
try will there be greater activity dur
ing the first few days of the new
tariff than at the port of New York,
for in the 4S bonded wape houses of
the port there is over 100000
worth of goods awaiting withdrawal.
There is almost every conceivable
thing in the ware houses, but the
chief things are cotton, linen, wool
ems, furs, silks, nuts, leather goods,
dried fruits, picked fish and dried
tobacco.
