STATE HEADQUARTERS HERE FOR
COMING SENATORIAL ELECTION
Republican Campaign Committee Is Headed
by 0. l.. Phillips of Colfax; Colonel Breeze
and Mrs. Stroup Named AS Members Of
Group; Bursum Rests at Santa Fe.

Arthur Seligman, democrats
state chairman, announced before
he left for his home In Santa re
last evening, that Mr., Hanna would
have the privilege Of naming his
own campaign chairman He ex-
pressed his belief that state head
quarters would probably be in Al
buquerque, although Santa Fe may
be chosen.
Judge Craig, republican state
chairman, is expected back from
Santa Fe today. He did not tender
his resignation as state chairman
to the central committee and 1t Is
probable that there will be no
change until after the senatorial
election, If at ALL

suffering from slight cold from

minority statement that this con-
stituted basis sufficient for re-
lection of the measure. The secre-
tary. they contended, has now suf-
ficient authority to negotiate the

that the obligations Of the foreign

shall have sufficiently crystalized
its policy to know exactly to what
use they can best be put.
The best and most practical
method of handling the questions

majority report declared, adding
that it was necessary for some one

with the situation. Assurance was
given that the treasury secretary
does not intend to accept obliga-

or country, in case Of the princi-
pal debtor countries. and that 1t
is not his intention to accept any
German bonds unless !. it becomes
necessary or desirable to do so in
some now unforeseen special
cases.
The minority report said that
the foreign obligations accepted

PRAISED BY M0NDELL

luton Concerning Hard
ing'S Bonus Speech, But
1t Is Laid on the Table,
tBy The Associated press.)

Washington, Aug. 20.-The re-
publican tax bill was passed late
to-day by the house after the dem
ocrats had failed in an effort to
have it recommitted for elimination
of the provisions repeating the in
come surtax taxes above S2 per
cent
The democratic motion to recon-
init the bill with instructions to the
ways ana means committee to
eliminate the provision for REPEAL
OF the income surtax rates above
80 per cent was defeated. This
paved the way for the final passage
cf the bill.
The vote on motion to recommit
was 169 for, to 230 against. A
number of republicans from the
far western states joined with the
practically solid minority in sup
porting the motion.
MondeIl Praises Bill.
Before the vote, Representative
Mondell, republican leader, de-
livered a prepared address praising
the tax bill and saying 1t remained
for later congress to fully revise
the tax schedules when we shall
have passed beyond the shadow of
the war overhang."
"In this measure we have re-
lieved the bureau where 1t Is most
clearly of an emergency character
he said, "and relieved 1t and light
ened it for the benefit of every
class and condition in the nation.
1--WE have lifted rather than
shifted the more oppressive and
annoying of the war taxes. We have
kept faith, and while some will
rail against the measure, for
purely partisan purposes, 1t will re-
ceive the commentator OF the
great body OF the American peo-
pie"
Republicans Cheer.
Mr.. Mondell was cheered from
the republican side. Representa-
tive Connally, democrat, Texas,
arose to ask the republican leader
to show him the pledge in the re-
publican platform for the reliev-
ing of the taxes on the men OF
large incomes. Mr. Mondell tried
to get recognition to answer, but
the house was in an uproar which
did not end until 3 o'clock, when
the way was cleared for voting un-
der the rules.
Representative Cochran, demo-
crat, New York, rising to a point
Of privilege, offered a resolution
condemning President Harding for
addressing the senate July IL on
soldier bonus to the exclusion of
the house. The democrats forced
the first roll call on Representa-
tive Mondells motion to lay the
resolution on the table, which pre-
vailed.
The house adopted the commit
tee amendment reducing the tax
on cereal beverages from 6 to 4
cents, but it failed in the last min
ute to reach vote on the provt-
sion for creation Of a tax investi-
CATION commission.

NOT GUILTY Of
Staying PRIEST
SAYS SH|GHTOWER
IN A STATEMENT
Old Theory Upset. It Rests
With Man Accused of
Murder of Rev. HesIin to
Prove His Innocence,
WILLING TO Be TRIED
BY JURY OF PRIESTS
Wonders If Justice Is Hitting
On All Its Cylinders; Is
Unable to Do Anything for
Himself.
(By The Associated Press.)

Redwood City, Calf, Aug. 20.--
Public and press have upset the
theory that a man Is Innocent un-
til he Is proven guilty, and it now
rests with the accused to prove his
innocence. William A, Hightower,
accused of the murder of Rev.
Patrick e. Heslin, Colma Catholic
priest, said today in statement
to the press, The statement was
issued from the San Mateo coun-
ty Jail through District Attorney
Franklin Swart. Hlghtower conc
tinued:
"An accused man might also be
pardoned for asking if justice Is
hitting on all it's cylinders when he
is confined to one little cell, where
he is not only unable to do any,
thing for himself, but is also una
BILE to find out what others are
trying to do to him, while any one
seeking to undermine his Interests
can have as wide range of action
as al German howtzer
"Unfriendly interests were never
known to have union hours or to
be ever fair in their methods.
Mind Is Muddled.
II just wonder il the good dame
with bandaged eyes can always
make the grade when the accused
man perhaps with mind that was
never over bright, muddled as nev-
er before in all his life facing con-
diuons in which he never had ex-
perience, is compelled to match his
confused, unframed mind against
the keenest minds Of a great city.
'Under the conditions, with the
icy hand of fear resting on his
heart, should he take counsel Of
folly and like scared rabbit run
in the wrong direction and make
inconsistent statements, would
such statements necessarily be
conclusive proof Of his guilt?"
Hightower reiterated past dee-
Iarations that ha would be willing
to be tried by a jury OF Catholic
priests, with the one condition that
no one on the jury be less than
tOrty years ola.
"The earnestness Of purpose and
calmness Of judgment Of priests Of
this age. would easily overcome
their prejudice against me-" he
said.
Ono Pleasant Thought.
THE one, pleasant thought in
connection with this unpleasant
affair."" he said" "s the part that
played in getting the murdered
man out of the hole in which his
murderer or murderers had tum-
bled him as though he had been
an animal, and securing for him
the interment for which his life
and calling rightfully entitled him.
The commission Of a crime
like this is so foreign to my ma
ture that it is hard TO realize that
am actually accused of it,"
Hightower said he had not been
mistreated and although some-
what inclined to question the
methods used, I have not had the
slightest cause to question any
ones intentions" te
He concluded by saying: THE
message I shall send back to the
world to which | am at present
shut away is Not guilty. >"

but l sincerely believe the statement
| is not overdrawn. For nearly two
years past | have carefully and crit
ically examined the resources of Wash
ington and Alaska commercially they
are as one); noted their developments
and progress and must say, although
optimistic from the beginning, l did
not fully grasp the factors to inspire
the faith that was in me. 1t Is i'm
practicable in this writing to give
facts and figures. l have recently COM
piled this in book form (see foot note).
If could live to participate in cele-
brating the century of WashingtOn's
life (barely possible, though highly
improbable), l would expect to see
more than quadruple the present pop
ulation and wealth and far and away
greater increase in the agricultural,
horticultural and manufacturing indus
tries, the three solid pillars upon
which the future commercial expan-
sion of the state and it's assured great
ness rests.
To know your state is certainly a
valuable asset in business; it is more,
it is conducive 10 contentment; and
contentment is a great factor In con-
tinued good health and promise of
longevity
We have the most equable climate
of any state, the healthiest of any
(proven by the official records), hence,
if we but seek and obtain knowledge
of our state, life will be happier, our
patriotism stronger and our common
wealth more prosperous. God speed
the day when the Importance of these
facts shall move us to provide for a
more intensive study in our schools,
that our children may better know
their own state.

place alongside of the other states of
the Union. The pioneers had great
faith in the commonwealth and pro-
claimed their faith by work.
A political incident occurred during
the year of 1867, which at the time
did not attract much attention other
than ridicule. Over half a million
square miles had been added to the
domain of the United States by the
purchase of Alaska The natural gate
way for the trade of this vast area is
through the ports of Washington. For
season, San Francisco secured O.
large portion of it, but, as the volume
increased and Washington became
prepared to take care of it, the current
shifted and now the greater portion

an area of much less than a hundred

in over six hundred thou

be the most densely populated of any

is my belief, the wealthiest of any of

The season is fast approach
ing when the books for the
year must be closed up, on the
farm as elsewhere. Not only
must this be done as the usual
matter of business but the day
for making income tax returns
is not far off, and correct ac-

at that time.

arrangements with the we'll
known accounting firm OF
Lane, Bell & Gill of Spokane,
to prepare for our readers a

HUGE IRRIGATION
PLAN APPROVED
Greater Wenatchee Project In
wolves as, 900 Acres of
Land.

Describing the greater Wenatchee
irrigation project as one or the most
feasible, as we'll as the safest similar
undertaking In the state, II not In
the Northwest, the general commit
tee appointed last winter to carry on
an investigation Of the plan mas Is
sued a report of the work done to date
through it's chairman, F. w. Shultz,
says a recent report from Wenatchee.
Surveys of the project are being
conducted by engineers of the state
department of reclamation and con-
servation. These have been virtually
completed and call for canal system
140 miles long, with about Ii miles OF
tunnel. Concrete construction thru
out is the plan of the committee. the
canal having a capacity of 525 cubic
feet second.
Would Water $4,000 Acres.
The elevation at the intake is 1900
feet above sea level and the system
includes steel bridge and pipe line
across the Columbia river. Included
In the district are $4,000 acres, as
sessed at $2,5O0,O00. With a water
right such as the Greater Wenatchee
system will convey, its assessed valu-
alton would be over $17,000,0O0, judg-
ing by similar land values under pres
ent canals.
OF this, more than 10000 acres will
be in East Wenatchee, within few
miles of the city, and 11,700 acres
will be in Moses coulee. None of the
land to be irrigated is more than two
miles from a railroad, all OF 1t is
reached by good roads, and most of
it is under cultivation.
The estimated cost of installing the
system is 500 an acre, and it is pro-
posed to finance the project at Wen
atchee. Chairman Shultz, who is pres
ident of the Commercial Bank & Trust
believes that the people of
that vicinity can buy all the bonds
necessary to build the system, and pay
for them as needed. One years profit
on the fruit crop of the district would
amount to $4,5O0,O00, or enough to
finance the project.
While most of the land in the prof.
ect will be suitable for fruit grow
ing, it is believed that much OF 1t
will be devoted to alfalfa grain and
stock, as well as other crops that
promise quick return. Already con-
siderable land has changed hands in
of the completion of the
system, which will add many fold to
the value of the acreage under the
canal.
A plan for bonding the territory to
be irrigated In small units is being
worked out and will he submitted
within the next few weeks. Instead
Of having one huge irrigation dis
riot, the entire area will be divided
nto 10 or IA smaller districts each
OF the other, and all
getting water from the same canal.
If divided into 20-acre tracts the
and would furnish homes for 1900
antilles, or about 10000 persons, be-
ides those necessarily engaged In
IMPLYING them with merchandise and
other necessary service.
