URGES EARLY RATIFICATION 0F
 PENDING COLUMBIAN TREATY

the standpoint of either justice or
 business.
 When the Louisiana senator began
 the discussion in open session Sen ator Jones suggested that treaties
 usually were considered executively.
 Until Colombia's grievance is re- moved said Senator Ransdell. there can be no cordial relation and peace
 with the Latin American world" He
 insisted that the paramount matter
 to be considered was not what the
 people of the United States thought about the treaty, but what the Latin Americans thought of it. Most of the nations of South and Central America, in his opinion, sym pathized with Colombia and were ic- clined to look upon the United States with ill feeling as long as the treaty negotiated at Bogota remained un-
 ratified
 To further delay ratification of the pending treaty, he declared, would put barrier across the path of the movement to win for the United States that part of the trade of
 Latin American countries which Ea- rope is losing because of the war Colombia is weak the senator continued. and believes we have
 grievously wronged her Can we af- ford to reject this treaty even if the
 justice of Colombias claim be de- nied? Every principle of justice, of sound business and wise statesrlan- ship demands that this treaty be ratified at once.'

Not since the. commission mana gerial form of government became ef feetive nearly a yaer ago has a more comprehensive report been made by Manager w. A. Parish than that pre- sented to the commission at it's meet ting yesterday morning Not only does the report indicate decided eco monies and that the city for the first time in its history is upon strictly cash basis. but it also carries the recommendation that the city water rates be reduced twenty per cent forthwith
 Comparison is made for the first six months of the fiscal year begin ming July l, 1914, with the closing six months of 1913. It is shown that with the exception of December. when heavy interest payments became due, there had been a reduction in monthly expenses.
