PAT HARRISON ON
RECLAMATION

When the conference report on the
Soldiers Bonus was before the Sen
ate, Senator Harrison raised a point
of order, which had it been sustain
ed, would have resulted in incorpor-
ating the Smith-McNary reclamation
proposal in the bill, but he was over
ruled by the chair. Senator Harri-
son then took his appeal, relying up
on the Republican Senators from the
arid land states of the West:
Bursum IN. NJ; Capper (Kans.);
Curtis (Kans.); Gooding Udaho) !;
Harreld (Okla); McCumber IN. Do;
Nicholson (Colo); Norbeck Is. d.;
Oddie Mex; Phipps (Colo); Short
ridge (Calif); Sterling IS. d..
The fatal result of this vote was
pointed out by Senator Harrison, be-
fore putting the Republican Senators
on record as follows:
do not be deceived as to the issue.
We are going to take the vote now.
If you vote to sustain the chair, re-
clamation for the West will be gone.
l take no stock in the suggestion
made by the Senator from Wisconsin
that a vote to overrrule the Chair
would kill the adjusted compensation
bill. Those of US who are for recIa-
nation are for the adjusted compen-

A COFFIN FOR PROSPERITY

The Fordney- McCumber Profiteers
Tariff bill, which is estimated to dou-
Bile the taxation of the American
people; that is to say, to add another
$4,0OG,COOOOO in the way of taxes,
but of which only few hundred mil
lions will go into the Treasury, the
balance into the pockets of the spe-
cial privilege class, has been signed
by the President and is now a law.
This Tariff bill, aptly termed "the
coffin for the corpse of prosperity
will fall heaviest upon farmers and
working men, by reason of the fact
that it will still further curtail the
farmers foreign markets, and by de-
stroying what little is left of our for
eign trade will greatly reduce prcduc-
ton in manufacturing lines - we'll
as in natural industries.
In a speech just prior to the pass
age of the bill Senator Underwood,
the Democratic leader of the Senate,
called attention to some of the out
rageOus rates of the bill, particularly
to the wool schedule, in which he
showed that the tax levied on raw
wool would collect out of the pockets
of the American people $200,0O0,0OO
only $20,000,000 of which would go
into the treasury of the United States
and the balance into the pockets of
the special interests.
Senator Underwood excorated that
feature of the bill which transfers
the taxing power from Congress to
the President, and said:
81 do not think it will last long as
law. If it should last long, if the
terms of the bill were to stay on the
statute books for two decades.
would predict the rottenest filth and
corruption that could grow out of
such bureaucracy, that would be a
stencil in the nostrils of all good peo-
pie. But l do not think it will last
| think before that day comes the
American people will take the size
of what this Congress has done, will
realize that the Congress has laid
down a great responsibility that was
given to them, which the Constitution
of the United States has placed in
their hands, that they have surren-
dered a great trust, and the Ameri-
can people will rebuke any party and
any set of men who have been guilty
of abandoning a trust like this given
to their safe-keeping."

sation bill. We want it to go to the
President, and Senators on the other
side know that the word has been
passed down the line that the Pres
ident intends to veto the adjusted
compensation bill. One may carry
the other through.
II am for this legislation therefore
for two reasons: First, because / am
for the reclamation proposition on its
face, believing that it will be benefit
cial to the arid regions of the West.
/ am for it for the other reason that
it will help the adjusted compensa-
ton bill to get out of the clutches of
the President of the United States
and become law.
"Men from the West, if you really
have been honest with your constit-
uents, if you are sincerely for this
legislation, nowsis the best time you
will ever have to give it to them, be-
cause Congress will adjourn I'M. a few
days and not meet until December.
The next session will be a short SEES
sion. Appropriation bills will be
crowded in, and the McNary meas
ure will be forgotten. Now is the
only time to get it through. How
re you going to vote, Senators from
Oregon? Are you going to vote to
sustain the Chair and see the Nc
Nary reclamation bill killed? How
are you going to vote, Senators from
Oklahoma and Colorado and Idaho
and Utah, and all the other Western
States, whose hearts are wrapped up
in this proposition? BY your votes
you will answer"

lect the charter board, pass on the
charter as prepared and constitute
the city's government by the win Of
the majority.
The Mayors reason is the most re-
markable part of his letter to coun-
Gil. He says: "My reason for the
above suggestion is that | firmly be-
lieve the method outlined will result
in obtaining the needed charter
amendments without doubt at the
next session of the Legislature, and
that an attempt to obtain charter
amendments or a new charter through
a charter board WHOSE PERSON
MEL IS NOW UNKNOWN, AND
AGAINST THE MEMBERS OF
WHOM CERTAIN CITIZENS MAY
BEAR ANIMOSITY, will have more
than even chance to fail on the char
ter election"
Can autocracy be presented in
more vicious form? Because the
people might elect man who might
not be approved by some unknown
individual the mayor would appoint
some other man who might bear the
animosity" of many other men, So
the mayor doesn't risk approval of
the charter by the people because
some one might bear animosity
against one of his appointees, but
leaves no room for doubt that he will
have it rammed through the legisla-
ture by a hand picked charter board
which may preserve all of the instru-
ments of political expediency.
Such a proposal as adopted by the
council goes not nearly half way in
! its provisions. If a city manager
form is provided, which is to be
hoped, few can deny that it would
lrequire an entirely new charter in
stead of the present many times
amended one. And there should be
Ia referendum and recall for the pro-
lection of the people from political
oligarchies, departments should be
prescribed and governed and the en-
tire machinery provided for carry
ing on an efficient, economical anC
progressive government.
Under the Mayors recommends
tons "the cost Of procedure here out.
lined will cost about ten per cent Of
the cost Of charter by a charter
board, and if the charter by such q
charter board should fail at the char.
ter election its costs, which would be
about $1,000, will be utterly lost" II
lother words an elected charter boarc
would cost more than an appointed
charter board, in the opinion of the
mayor. Such a reason is obviously
so ridiculous.

OVER HALFWAY MEASURES

The News is in full sympathy with
every sincere effort of the city coun-
ell to obtain the best results for the
least cost for the tax payers of the
municipality. 1t is not arbitrarily
committed to any policy, innovation
or reform. 1t has proportionate faith
in the sincerity Of purpose of those
who might oppose any suggestion
for a change of government, or the
methods to be pursued to attain an
agreeable change. We do not sub
scribe, however, to perverted phil
osophy that prompts the cutting off
of dogs tail an inch at time to
keep from hurting him.
At the last regular session of the
council a petition was presented, in
accordance with the law, asking coun-
Gil to call an election for a charter
board to revise the charter of the
city, ostensibly to install a system
that is more concrete, more efficient
and more economical. This petition
was secured in few hours, the cir
culators stating that the signers all
evinced enthusiastic interest in an op-
portunity to start a movement to
bring about a change that has SC
long been agreed as necessary. They
agreed that the adoption of sys-
TEN that has been proven beyond the
experimental stage, conclusively anc
with such flattering results, would
open the way for definite system OF
administering the city's affairs
Council voted, by a very substantial
majority, to pass the proper resolu-
ton the next night, deferring formal
action until a resolution that woulC
meet the technical approval of attor.
neys, could be prepared.
The resolution was never prepared
The election was not called. The pc.
tition of individuals and firms repre-.
senting very large majority of the
tax paying power Of the city was sci
aside. In its stead was offered q
letter from the Mayor, and endorsed
by four citizens, admitting charter
inadequacies, making suggestions
for needed changes and delegating to
the city council authority to select a
charter committee instead of having
it elected, not to revise the charter
but to patch up the old one-and
these patches are cut out in advance
by the mayor and turned over to the
council to be pasted on. Under
councils action they cann0t be de-
waited from, for the mayors sugges-
lions were adopted. The mayor will
name one of the members of the
board, the president of council will
name two more, and these three will
name the remaining two. If these
do not suit the people they will have
no power of rejection.
The mayor then suggests that
council shall be reduced to a maxi
mum personnel of nine men, chosen
at large, and that they shall be elect
ed at large, or nominated in party
caucus. In other words the mayor
prescribes the charter changes, pro-
vides a board to carry them into law
and does not eliminate the expense
which was his chief objection to fol-
lowing the course prescribed by the
state statute. An election of a coun-
Gil must be held, the proposed amend
ments must be published, but with no
alternative of rejection except by
council, and the same expense and
trouble employed as in a procedure
which would permit the people to Sc
