Yields on Appropriation.

The committee also yielded to Repre-
sentative Fitzgerald's threat to demand a
quorum in the House unless 1t elimi-
ton for the proposed tariff commission.
Three hundred thousand dollars is retain
ed for the year 1917. but as the bill now
stands this appropriation for future years
is eliminated.
The fight on the munitions tax was said
to have been ended in conference the
House yielding in its demand for restora-
ton on the tax on copper refiners when
! the Senate conferees threw out all the
proposed stamp taxes. The rate of tax on
the net profits of munition manufacturers
was increased however. in order to make
up for the revenue deficiency occasioned
by abandonmet of the stamp taxes.
Differ as to Rates.
The rate in the Senate bill was 10
per cent on net profits. House members
were demanding that this be increased
to Is per cent. but it was regarded as
probable that insistence of Senate con-
ferees that the rate should not be raised
to more than 12h per cent would pre-
vail. The estimated revenue from m,I-
nitions manufacturers under this rate
was placed at S50,000,000. The income.
taxes as fixed in the Senate bill were
approved.
Conferees Agree to Changes.
. Conferees on the revenue bill were
at work early today after prolonged
night session. Tentatively, the con-
ferees had agreed to eliminate Senate
proposals for stamp taxes on various
kinds of commercial papers and steam
ship and Pullman tickets; to abandon
the House provision for tax on copper
refiners, and to increase from 10 to
12R per cent the net profit tax on
munitions manufacturers in order to
raise s5,000,000 additional, which the
stamp taxes would have supplied The
continuing appropriation for the tariff
commission also was reported to have
been stricken out.
Revision of the wine tax schedule and
the Phelan amendment authorizing re-
taliatory action by withholding mail
and communication privileges from
citizens of foreign governments which
discriminate against American trade
was being considered by the conferees
1t was said
Among the provisions whose reten-
tion 1t was thought would be recon-
mended are the license tax on corpora
tion stock, increased duty on dyestuffs.
higher income and Inheritance taxes
tariff commission and the reta1iatory
steps against foreign ships.

Provision to Guard American Com

Final Agreement Delayed.

Conferees on the emergency
revenue bill today struck out the
Phelan amendment which would
empower the President to re-
taliate against citizens of bellig-
erent nations which interfere
with United States mails. 1t was
aimed specifically at Great Britain.
The argument which prevailed
in the conference was that it

TANKS SPREAD DISEASE.
Watering Troughs May BE Means of
Communicating Chambers.

Manhattan, Kan, Aug 2e.-The
desirability of keeping the water tank
for the stock in a clean and sanitary
condition is emphasized by r. r.

gerry in the Kansas State Agricultural
college.
chambers, a dangerous disease, to
DO h human beings and stock, will
sometimes spread thru filthy water
tank" says Professor Dykstra- ITO
prevent such infection, the tank
should be cleaned out by carefully
scrubbing at least once a month, de-
pending upon the number of stock
drinking from it. After this is done it
should be washed with a per cent
solution of coal tar as a disinfectant
or Whitewashed both inside and out
side The advantage of the white
wash is that it will not impart to the
water a disagreeable odor which is
characteristic of the coal tar.
1.-The green material that is often
found in the water tank is an alga-
It is not known to be harmful to stock,
but because of its filthy appearance
and undesirability it should be pre-
vented. BY keeping water in the tank
diluted with copper sulphate the
growth of the algae can be prevented
One part of copper sulphate is suffl-
cient for 100000 parts of water. Tie
a small amount of copper sulphate IN
a rag and occasionally dip it into the
water just enough to give it very
faint blush color.
Professor Dykstra approves the use
of cement tanks because they are
durable and will not rust.

WILL LOOK US Over
National Farm Loan Bank Board
Here September IS.

Topeka will be the host of the ma
tional farm loan bank. board about
September IS. This is the belief of
members of the farm loan bank com
lnittee of the Topeka Commercial
club, based upon the announcement
that the board will arrive in Kansas
City on that date
At a meeting of the committee held
at the Commercial club this noon it
was decided to write to members of
the board to ascertain the exact date
of their arrival in Topeka. The mem
bers of the board are making a tour
of the United States to decided upon
the location of twelve districts in
which to establish one of the farm loan
banks Probably another trip will be
made to decide upon the city in each
district which shall be selected as the
site for the bank.
I'VE wish to get acquainted with
the members on their initial trip" said
one member of the committee today.
"And we certainly shall issue a cordial
invitation for them to visit Topeka
next month"
At the meeting this noon it was de-
cided to continue writing letters to
prominent Kansans asking for their
endorsement of Topeka as the 1oca-
ton for the farm loan bank for the
Kansas district. So far as is known
no other city in the state, excepting
Kansas City, Kan, has made any at
tempt to get the bank.

MAKE CAMPS FOR TOURISTS.
GoodIand Mayor wall Provide Grove
With Tents, Water and Walks.

Goodland, Kan, Aug. 29.-Mayor
Kelly has a plan whereby tourists VIII
have a clean, comfortable camping
ground next year. He owns several
blocks just where the Golden Belt and
Rock Island trails enter Goodland
near the railroad. He will plant the
grounds to trees next spring, build
gasoline and supply station, erect a
comfortable resting depot with a
porch entirely around it, lay the
grounds off into camping plots with
nice gravel walks, and water Tor
drinking and radiator purposes and
put up a few tents for use of tourists.
He figures that the average travel
err is willing to pay a reasonable sum
for a good camping ground, and that
some will be willing to pay for good
clean tent rather than to erect their
own. Toilet facilities will be provided
and Goodland will soon be known as
the town where the weary tourist can
find a good camping ground with all
his wants supplied.
