WATER USERS HAVE TO PAY
Supreme Court Decision Affects More
Than 10000 on Reclamation
Projects.

More than 10000 farmers on reclaim
alton projects of the west will be af-
fected by the supreme courts decision
that they must pay to the government
the cost of maintaining and operating
the various reclamation projects, pend
ing their completion.
The decision was in the suit of d. P.
Baker and other farmers on the Sun
nyside unit of the Yakima wash
project, to have the reclamation serv-
ice enjoined from cutting off the water
supply to enforce collection of such
charges, imposed under instructions
from the secretary of the interior in
1902.
Nearly s1,000.000 has already been
collected by the government. Half a
million more is about due. Justice La
mar announced the courts unanimous
decision and declared congress intend
ed the settlers should pay the cost of
maintenance and operation.

Training the Japanese Child

According to Frances Little, author
of "The Lady of the Decoration" and
The Lady and Sada San." Japanese
mothers violate many Of the theories
of our modern child experts. In an ar
ticle on THE Training of a Japanese
Child" in the June Century, she says
that the typical Japanese baby is an
absolute autocrat in the family to
which he comes, and his slightest wish
is gratified the moment he expresses
it. The little Oriental eats when and
what he wants, and makes no pretense
of obedience. He is idolized by the en-
tire household, who think that every
thing he chooses to do is right. Yet
this regime of lawlessness seems to
agree with him, for he thrives and
grows fat. But as he grows older, he
is gradually taught strict discipline
and dutiful respect for his elders.

REVISE FINANCE LAW
SENATE'S BANKING AND CUR
RENcY COMMITTEE GETS
DOWN TO BUSINESS.
BANKERS GET LISTS OF QUESTIONS
OF Course, This money Business" Is
Not Very Popular, But Offer Your
Suggestions Now.

Washington, d. C.-The senate
banking and currency committee has
begun its investigation of the nations
currency system and how it's defects
should be remedied. A list of ques-
tions is to be sent to bankers and
financial experts and was approved
and prepared for immediate distribu-
ton.
Some of the questions are:
What are the essential defects of
our banking and currency system?
"Enumerate its advantages and dis
advantages and what is to be attained
by an improved system.
What national banks continue to
have a bond-secured currency, and
should present reserve requirements
for such banks be changed?
Elastic Currency.
Should elastic currency be author
lied and if so, should it be limited, and
to what amount?
Should all currency have a gold ba-
sis, and how should it be issued, and
what per Gel of reserve should be re-
quired?
What should be the limit if notes
are issued to or by an association?
What device should be used to re-
tire such currency when demands sub
side?
Should there be central associa-
ton with branches or reserve associa-
ton with or without central control?
Should state banks or trust COM
panies be stockholders in such associ-
atoms, and under what conditions?
"How many regional reserve asso-
Citations should there be?
What should be the minimum cap
tal stock, and what amount to each
bank?
Question of Credits.
What should be the general nature
of business of such association, should
it accept credits other than those of
banks, pay interest on deposit dis.
count double-name commercial paper
for member banks on equal terms to
all, and should its discount rate be
public. subject to weekly change?
Should government deposits be
withdrawn from banks and placed with
such associations?
Should a national bank keep re
serve with the association to which il
belongs except that in it's vaults, or
should it be allowed to use other asso
Citations, and if so, how much?
Should a reserve association be re-
CURED to maintain a reserve within its
deposits?
Should liability of each member
bank be limited to it's stock subscrip-
ton, and if not, what should be its liza
bility?
What dividends should associations
be permitted to pay their banks and
should any share of the profits of an
association be distributed to member
banks in proportion to the average de-
posits during the year?
Opinions Are Asked
What is your opinion of the plan
of the national monetary commission
and what modification would you sug-
gest, if any?"

people. Let us consider It In this
way: VIII it be best for me and my
children and my children's children
to maintain the present competitive
system, or will 1t be best to gradually
adopt Observation-Disclosures dictrine
OF a centralized system of distribu-
ton? WIN 1t be best to have keen,
progressive local business interests,
buying and selling farm products, or
will 1t be best to have great centers
where the buying and selling Of farm
products will be carried on?
This question of the catalogue house
system Of distribution goes beyond the
local merchant. 1t is not his interests
that are to be considered. but the in
terests Of the many and OF posterity.
True, there is duty men owe to
their communities as such, because
the lives of all are interwoven-no
man In a community lives unto him
self alone-and when local business
institutions flourish all feel the bene-
fetal effects. There are the schools
to build and support, the roads to
maintain, and last but not least, there
stretches forth in times of disaster or
distress the helping hand Of the local
business man, who looks upon you as
his neighbor He Is one Of the cogs in
a useful piece of machinery, fitting in
with you and me as the other neces-
sary cogs.
The merchants here and all over the
land purpose to combat the present
tendency Of Capitalization. II in the
right and If their efforts are well d.
rected, they shall succeed. II In the
wrong, no harm will come OF their eff
forts and the efforts of their friends
in the country, for whether right or
wrong, a closer bond of sympathy will
have been established between man
and man.
But they are not in the wrong.
Parable of the MIsspent Money
The following from the Mayville IN,
d. Tribune contains food for thought:
Once upon time in the land OF
Uncle Sam a colony of people organ
lied themselves into a town. The
town grew and waxed fat upon the
produce Of the land roundabout, and
the people dwelt happily under theiI
own vines and fig trees, and the
tradesmen built emporiums of mer
chandise, and all was well. More PEG
pie joined the colony from year tC
year until the town was a place o.
population and prosperity.
But the time came when into the
midst of the town crawled serpent o
discord, yclept the mail order cata
logue, which whispered into the ear
of the people siren song of big bar
gains, the same being fable and |
fake. Thereat the people thought the.
saw a good thing, and they bit. IL
the course of events the merchant
closed their doors and removed t,
other towns wherein as yet the mai
order serpent had not entered. Larg
hollyhocks grew up before the close,
doors, and grass grew in the streets
whereof the cows ate bountifully. |
was fun for the cows, but death to tn
town.
