WATER AND THE RATES.


! questions, there is usually a mid
die ground. There is the conserva-
tive and yet reasonable conclusion
that perhaps does not accept the
more extreme points that are urged
upon either side of the question.
1t seems to The Tribune that such
is the case in regard to the issues
that are now being considered by
the city council affecting water
charges and the operation of the
water department generally.
In the first place, we believe
that the people do 10 desire an
increase in water rates at all. There
isn't anybody nowadays who is
looking with complacency at any
increase in an expense that per-
tains to the maintenance Of the
home. The water department of
Great Falls is a profitable institu-
ton. 1t does not need more in
come. The people do not desire
larger expenses.
The difficulties that have given
rise to the present discussion do
not come out of the prevailing
rates or the charges in any way.
They have been caused by a mid
summer shortage in the supply of
water. This therefore is the thing
to rectify so that we may get rid
of the obnoxious regulations that
have attached themselves to irri-
cation during the hot dry months.
This shortage manifestly has to
d considerable extent been caused
by the large use of water for the
irrigation of commercial crops upon
city lots. This should not continue.
The little garden at the back of
the lot is probably all right, but
field irrigation within the city lin
its is an entirely improper use OF
city water.
Some months ago, The Tribune
suggested that a wholesome regu-
lation could be devised whereby
water might be used for the small
garden plot upon the same lot
where the home is located but that
the use of water for irrigating
other lots by the same owner or
resident be discontinued. This, we
think, would be a reasonable COM
promise. The truck garden upon
the city lot may be a mighty whole
some thing for the owner but it is
a tremendously expensive item in
the cost of conducting the munich
pal pumping station. So far as the
whole community is concerned, it
is an economic loss-decidedly so.
So we think the council would
act wisely if it takes the middle
ground whereby each property
owner may have a little vegetable
garden attached to his home and
cut out entirely commercial agri-
culture.

are in n constant chill of fear lest their
rights be infringed. while capital goes
in hiding instead of looking for invest
ment. Employer and employe must
strive earnestly to be fair with each
other. Evidence of good intention on
both sides will dispel the fear that
has plagued industry and brought down
prosperity with a palsy.

REPUBLICANS DECLARE
 BONUS SOON BE PASSED
 REGARDLESS DEMOCRATS

WASHINGTON, March 1.-Republi. can senatorial leaders are confident that a soldiers bonus act will shortly be passed.
 Democratic leaders are equally con- fident that no legislation benefitlng the former service men will be passed for months, probably not until just be- fore the elections next November
 These are the conflicting views of the members of the Senate.
 Senator McCumber, of North Da' kota, spokesman for the Republican side on all financial questions, his openly declared his party will enact soldier bonus legislation "very short ly."
 'I am absolutely certain that a sol diers' compensation bill will pass and pass very soon" he said! 'I think the President expects the bill to pass and think 1t is very proper for me to say that he expects that provision will be made for it's payment"
 Senator Simmons, of North Caro- lima, the Democratic financial leader declared the Republicans had adopt ed "watchful waiting policy toward the bonus.
 MUST WAIT LONGER" "The Republican party has again said to the soldiers, You must wait a little while longer for your pay, he declared, after the Senate had re jected the bonus amendment he sought to link to the foreign delft funding bill Senator "Jim" Reed of Missouri, the Democratic "firebrand," charged Re publcans with "open delay' "It is a year and a half since we heard the Republican majority ill the Senate say they were going to pu, through a bonus right away" he said on the floor. "It is said by our col leagues that the Democrats seek tc make the bonus a partisan measure. "If it does 1t will be because Re publican Secretary of the Treasury has fousht the measure from it's in ception and because Republican Presidont ordered the bill back tt committeo bearing at the request, Il not the command of his Republican Secretary of the Treasury. It will Dc because there are not enough Demo cratic votes. plus the eight or ten Re rrh''n,-e who have been voting then convictions upon this question regard less of rarty action or party whip, tc force the measure through" WHAT PlTTMAN THINKS Senator Pittsman. Democrat, of Ne yade, tae e'milar convictions. "I have the utmost respect for those Senators who opposed the soldiers bonus o~, principle; that is their right B,t I ""~7 9 different sentiment 'o ward those senators who crlnge 1r tho,r seats every time the soldier bonus bill is mentioned because they have promised the soldiers for over three years they were going to pass bonus" said Pittman in debate.
 "They have deceived the soldiers every hour, and they know it in their hearts. They have been corralled and caioled and whipped into lire by the Secretary of the Treasury md the great interests of this country which are entagonsstlc to paving, olt any money except to the barons or wal Street. " '.

RAGGED PRACTICE

FRIENDSHIP, the most sacred OF
all moral bonds, Is never appreci
ated at its full worth until by some
unlocked for snap of its golden moor
ings it takes fright and flies away.
In the excitement of the moment,
the loss may not be keenly felt, but
as the years ride by in their swift
chariots, lines mark the face and
strands of silver streak the hair,
there comes to the loser an mex
pressible sense of loneliness which
sharply reminds him or her of the
glorious sun that has set behind the
purple hills.
A friendship which multiplied joys
and divided sorrows is gone forever.
AS you repeat this word gone" in
the night when you are alone, and
again in the morning and ut inter
walls through the day, it comes upon
you with Il new and terrible meaning.
How gladly you would erase it, but
in spite of your oft boosted strength
