London, Jan. 15.-The Standard
announces its belief on good author
iJy that the most radical feature Of
Sir Thomas Lipton's Shamrock "
will be the adoption Of the American
center board
This will be the first time in the
history Of British yachting that a
large craft has been fitted with a
center board, and the challenger will
be the first yacht Of this type to be
sent across the Atlantic to compete
for the American cup.
British yachtsmen always have pro-

American types are beginning to ap-
proach the British designs, is ex-
pected to cause much comment here.

IRRIG ALTON DISTRICTS
APPEAL TO WASHINGTON

San Francisco, Jan. ia strong
appeal has been made by telegraph to
the secretary of the treasury follow
ing q meeting of irrigation district
directors. who are in San Francisco
as delegates to the inland waterways
congress. The secretary was asked
to postpone the issue of final ruling
upon the income tax, as it applies to
irrigation district bonds, and to af-
ford representatives of the districts
of this state an opportunity to pre-
sent arguments against imposition of
The tax. 1t is argued as one of the
chief points in favor Of the irriga-
tiouists. that the income tax does not
apply TO the bonds of any other po-
litical subdivision Of any state, and
therefore is discriminatory.
The commissioner of internal rev
euue luled that the tan was just. but
the treasury department postponed
its operation until today. \ further
postponement is asked.

will represent the irrigationists of

toward the improvement of water
ways was thus expressed by Chair
man Griffin:
We cannot see the utility of im-
proving the San joaquin, for instance,
unless the region it traverses is pro-
dueing something to be shipped over
a navigable channel. We cannot pro-
duce it without irrigation and we

GLENDALE MAKES MONEY
 0N ELECTRIC SYSTEM
Mayor Prepares Statement Showing
 Value to That Place of System

The statement printed below from the mayor and authorities of the town of Glendale gives some inter- cstinS information of the operation of such a plant by that municipality. The statement was prepared at the request of a committee of citizens of Mesa who are anxious to apply a similar system to that city.
 The town of Glendale has owned and operated it's electric light and power system since March 18th. 1912, at which time the small direct cur rent system then supp.yitg the busi- ness portion of the town. was pur- chased from the Glendale Ice Com pany. for S2300.00. twenty year bonds amounting to 5000 bearing interest at per cent were sold by the town for the purpose of buying and en- larEing the plant and to change it from d direct current to an alter hating current system, so that power could be bought and used from the government transmission line which passed through the town.
 The ice company continued to operate the business as formerly, re- taining the income until October 15. 1912. when the government was ready to furnish power and the operation of the business was taken over by the town and has continued without serious interruption and with very satisfactory results to both the consumers and taxpayers.
 Power is taken from the 45.000 volt 25 cycle, phase government lines and distributed without any change except a reduction in voltage by means of transformers and the ser vice is continuous and has been in- terrupted only by an occasional case of trouble on the Roosevelt line, never, however, of long enough dura : ton to cause serious inconvenience.
 The system of charging includes three items. viz:
 Service charge.
 Demand charge
 Meter rate charge.
 The service charge is 90 cents per month and is alike for all consumers regardless of the size of customers installation.
 The demand charge is in propor- ton to the size of consumers maXi- mum demand at the rate of .O5 per month for each 50 watts.
 The meter rate charge is for the energy used as registered on the consumers meter and at the present time is seven cents per K. W. H. two reductions having been made from the twelve cent rate in force at the commencement of the business g sliding scale is also provided for SC that motor customers with large monthly consumption got a very req sonable rate for power.
 a Since the purchase of the plan the lines have been extended tt reach nearly every hour within thu incorporated limits where there ha. been a demand for service.

1 The speech of Robert S Fisher was | a masterpiece He was never so searchingly humorous. Never did he | recall the famed biblical incidents | with which he sprinkles his speeches. so well and so aptly as last night He had the invisible government to discuss, and he started with Arma- geddon and came right on down ts | the unemployed questions of today including on his vivid way the cur rency, tariff, canal tolls and MeXi- can situation.
 The invisible government is also an inaudible government and an in | tangible government 1t is not real government. The work of the progressive party will be to install a responsible government in it's place
 The invisible government works behind the bench. Theodore Roose-
 welt announced the greatest step in our jurisprudence when he spoke in Chicago of the recall of the judiciary And it was to strike the tools from the hands of the manipulators of the | invisible government that he did this.
 Mir Fishers speech grew more en- tertaining as he warmed to it and began to bring in some of the big questions of the day He assaulted the bench in this state. scoring it for | cooperating with money He leapeC | upon MT. Wilson for getting his ideas 1 from Great Britain and paying for | them in servile consideration of every bullying demand. He accused him of modelling after that government which has it's head in crown and
 it's feet on the Irish question. He l tioned the now well known beef 1 from Argentina, mutton from Aus
 tralia and rotten eggs from China i He asked why, after Roosevelt had smashed his way through barriers to
 build the Panama canal it must be 1 delivered to the successors of the press gangs of 1872 by d watchful waiter
 But he left his tone calm when
 he approached the Mexican situa-
 tion, and it was with sarcasm of the finest that he said:
 | T will not attack the democrats
 on this point We may have to join
 with them in a fight with Mexico,
 and I want to put the f-o~- first and
 the party after it.
