MAKE MINIMUM
CHARGE OF 81
IN NO. 5
Extra Cost for Delivery OF
Water Charged to Meet
Expenses of Company

When the question of the continu-
arce of the extra 25-cent delivery
charge put into effect by Water Com
pany No. last month, was raised at
the meeting of the directors yester-
day, the resolution imposing the
charge was rescinded and a new or.
passed instead.
By the terms of the new order, 81
minimum charge for1 deliveries is
made by the company, with no extra
charge for the number of days serv-
ice, save the regular price required
pei acre-foot.
Protests against the 25-cent charge
were made. by several water users
from the Westmoreland district.
among them being ]. E. Leach and
C.. H. Webb.
The purpose of charging from the
old method of charging, according to
Secretary McNerney, is to provide ad-
ditional revenue to overcome the add
ed expense caused by the silt depos-
tied in the bitches by the small heads.
At special meeting Of the direc-
tors, to be held Monday, the question
of delivering water TO land not COW
erred by water stock, in accordance
with the ruling of the state railroad
commission will be discussed at
length.
AS means of adding to the area
in crops the state railroad commission
has authorized water companies to dc
liver surplus water to land unrrovid-
ed with water stock, under certain re-
srrictions, for a period not exceeding
cne year. Description of the land;
50 watered must be filed with the
commission and other regulations are
required, to preserve the rights of the
stockholders. A permanent right does
not adhere in this case of emergency

WAR TAX DEBATE
IN SENATE ENDS
Passage Of Measure Predicted
Next Week.

Washington, Aug. 15.-General de
bate in the senate on the $4,000. 000,.
900 war tax bill virtually has ended
and such rapid progress was made on
the finance Committee amendments to
the house bill that leaders predicted
the measures passage late next week.
Senator Simmons announced that he
expected to ask soon for a time limit
on debate and also to set date for q
final vote. -
In rapid succession and with little
debate the senate, sitting as a com
mittee OF the whole, approved the fl,
nance committees revision of the soft
drink, tobacco and most of the public
utilities schedules.
The debate made it evident that the
principal disputes facing the senate
are over the income, war profits and
publishers tax sections. Adoption of
most OF the finance committees other
reyisions with little change was fore
cast
Senator LaFollette made public
minority report concurred in by Sen
ators Gore and Thomas, urging that
the bulk of all war taxes be laid upon
incomes and war profits. The Wis
consin senator proposes to make his
principal fight in offering many
amendments to increase the tax rates
proposed.
In closing the general discussion
Senators Smoot and Jones Of New
Mexico, both Of the finance commit
tee, commended the committees pro.
posed increases in the income and
war profits sections. The former,
however. opposed repeal of the draw
back" allowance to sugar refiners and
the latter advocated higher tax on
corporations' undivided surplus.

 Possibilities.
THE SUBMARINE DANGER

BOSTON. April 2S,-The Scientif- ic American has made an investiga- tion of the German shipyard capac- ity and finds that she could have 530 submarines under construction at one time and that there is noth- ing to hinder such an expansion of shipyards on river banks as would enable the Germans to have thou sand submarines under construction at one time,
 Germany is the great Diesel en- zine country and her submarine construction would be limited only in the special apparatus requiring the finest workmanship. Six months would be fair average for con struction. The Central Powers may have 200 or more submarines afloat, and they may have 800 on the ways at the present time. Idle battle ships could furnish all the crews
