COOLING FLAYS
CRITICS On BIG
TARIFF ISSUES
Idaho Senator Straight
ems Out Some Tangles
When Question Is Pre-
sented in Senate.

WASHINGTON, Aug. l4-(Special
correspondence)-That Democratic
Senators attest the real value of a pro-
tective tariff every time they vote for
a protective tariff on products of their
own states, is point made recently
by Senator Gooding, OF idaho, in an
address which, although impromptu
contained much forceful argument In
behalf of the fundamental principle
of Republicanism. Senator Gooding
was replying to the Statement, made
by Senator Caraway of Arkansas that
Senator deceives his constituents
when he votes for protection on an
industry in which he has a personal
financial interest. Senator Gooding
said in part:
Il want to congratulate Senators
on the other side of the Chamber who
have courage enough to vote for the
industries of their States, and | care
not whether it be rice, peanuts, wool
long-staple cotton, graphite, or any
thing else. 1t shows to me that, after
all, when it comes to the interest OF
their own people, they konw and I'M
derstand that protection is a blessing
to their States l understand, oil
course, that under the party lash
working under Democratic plat
form which declared that protection Is
unconstitutional, as it has done fol-
a hundred years, all of them can no.

length of the matter, But l say II

FIND FISHING POOR

Gordon Ollie, Mike Riner and Viii
lard Johnson went to Lowman Sat-
urday and Sunday to enjoy some of
the fine fishing there that the accid-
ent of last week to Frank Weaver
nipped in the bud. But the anglers
found that the fame of the Payette for
fishing had spread far and that a
continuous procession of anglers had
been there all week ahead of them
and whipped the stream to white
foam. AS a result, the catch was linn
tied.

BLACK CANYON
DAM WILL COST
$4,000 MORE
Fault in Bed of Payette
River Discovered which
Causes Change in the
Plan.

EMMETT-"The estimate of the
cost of the Black Canyon dam, made
by Engineer Wylie, and which the
reclamation service adopted, will have
to be increased IS to 20 per cent" A.
P. Davis, director of the United States
reclamation service, informed an aud.
fence of business men and farmers a,
meeting held Wednesday afternoon
in the Commercial club rooms.
The increased cost is due to several
causes, Mr.. Davis said. One is tina,
the bed of the river at the damsite is
not solid rock formation as expected
and it will be necessary to excavate
for the foundation of the dam at leas,
50 feet in some places. This neces-
states change in the type of dam
substituting what is known as a
gravity dam for the arch" type. An.
other reason is that the gravel bed be-
low the damsite, from which it was
expected to secure an abundant sup
ply of gravel, does not measure up tc
the government specifications, being
of disintegrated character and con-
tanning too much dirt. A new source
of supply must be found and the ad-
ded expense depends upon whether
or not it can be found near the rail-
road. If fairly accessible bed can.
not be found, it will be necessary to
use crushed rock. These and other
unforeseen disclosures made by gov.
eminent officials have added a large
additional expense to the original est
mate of 100000 made by Engineer
Wylie.
Gravity Type Favored.
The gravity type of dam, as now
planned at Black Canyon, is so called
because it depends upon weight suf
fcient to resist the pressure of water
and is similar to the Arrow Rock dam
The Emmett dam will differ from tn,
Arrow Rock dam in that instead o.
being of continuous circular form, tn,
arch will be made up of series o.
flat sided sections. This construction
is deemed necessary in order to per
init of disappearing gates being uset
on the upper side.
Mr.. Davis stated that it is fully ex
pected and planned to have the dan
completed by the opening of the irri
cation season in 1924. Owing to tn
lateness of the season, no attempt will
De made to build the dam proper thi
year. Instead, the abutments on eacl
bank of the river will be constructed
and also the spillway. Next summer
when the water is at low stage, tn
dam itself will be built by closing tn
gap.
Things Shaping Up.
Good progress is being made il
road building and so head of stocl
are on the job. Holes for the pole
of the transmission line are being dul
and the work of setting the poles vii
be in progress within few days. TIL
office building was completed las
Saturday night. The mess hall, bum
house and other buildings are wei
under way and within the next FIVE o
six days quite an additional force O
men will be employed. Until housing
quarters are completed, few laborer
outside of local residents who can liv
at home were being hired.
A complete diamond drilling outfi
has been ordered from Island Parl
near Yellowstone Park, and is expect
ed here in few days. When tina
arrives definite data as to the forma
ton of the bed of the river will b
secured.

from unchanged figures to a rise Of II
cents.
Wheat for May delivery showed by
far the greatest strength, opinion ap-
parently becoming more general that
the principal holders OF May contracts

Not without accompanying irregu-
larities, yet with unmistakable clear
ness, the trend toward better business
continued Uniformity Of progress is
prevented by strikes and other impedt-
ments. but the present unevenness OF
conditions is not surprising, as no other
period of commercial revival. Gains
that have occurred In recent months, II
not extending in equal measure to all
lines Of enterprise, have been such as
to give encouragement and instances
are becoming more common where re-
ports from various sections carry a note
of optimism. Basic industries with a
few conspicuous exceptions disclose a
steady renewal of activity and the coun-
try-Wide expansion Of building opera
tions. which is evidenced bv special
survey of the situation made by Dun's
review. Is a highly significant develop
ment.
A wholesome and gratifying feature
is the fact that the improvement in
business has been q gradual process,
although certain phases In iron and
steel, because Of coal strike influences
have suggested possibilities Of tempor-
ary reaction. Generally, however, buy
ing Is still confined within prudent
limits and prices are kept under con-
troll, conservative interest recognizing

PRESENT BOND MARKET IS "BOLING"
AND DUE TO GO HIGHER, SAYS BABSON;
HIGH TAXES ARE UNFAVORABLEF FACTOR

Wellesley Hills, Mass, April o1.-
Roger w. Babson in discussing the
bond situation makes the following
statement:
Many inquiries are coming to me
asking if bond prices have not reached
their zenith. 1t is known that there
las been considerable increase during
the past few months. The average Of
"a group of standard investment bonds
which stood at 75.1 year ago now is
S5.7. Moreover, the bond advertising
iii the newspapers shows the large
number of offerings now being made.
Everything indicates boiling market.
Usually boiling markets are followed
by slump. | do not believe, however,
that the bond market will have slump
for some time to come.
There are numerous factors which
are helping the bond situation. First
is the willingness on the part of the
people to give more attention to the
fundamentals of life. During the war
time boom people went crazy with
spending, borrowing and wasting. This
inevitably led to extravaganza. ineffic-
iency and dishonesty. The people are
now seeing the error of their ways.
Thrift is being substituted for extrav
agance, efficiency is taking the place of
inefficiency, and integrity is again de-
veloping in place of dishonesty. All of
this means that more money is contin
ually available for permanent improve
ments, road building, school houses,
factories and homes. This change for
the better has just begun, and hence
is liable to continue for some years. If
so, there will be good bond market
for long time to come.
Another factor helping the bond
market is the great increase in the
number Of bond buyers. Before the war
only bloated gentleman with silk
Great Falls tribune., 1922-04-22

hat and a six pound gold watch chair
was supposed to be able to buy bonds
It is true that in those days the large
proportion of bonds were bought by
the idle rich whose principal occupation
was clipping coupons. The war changed
this entire situation. The war increas-
ed the number Of bond buyers from
about 100000 to over a million. This
also means that so per cent of the bond
buyers are today producers. Not only
have the number of holders Increased
but they are continually increasing their
purchases per capita. Thus, the mum
Der of bond buyers has been increased
ten fold while the bond buying class
has been changed from a group of idle
rich to a great mass of producing men
aud women.
"This means that the demand for
bonds and the money available for
bonds will increase from year to year.
The only fly in the ointment is the .ax
program in Washington. Certainly
congress has fallen down in its efforts
to reduce taxation. 1t has abolished
the excess profits tax: but has increas-
ed the general corporation tax, and has
continued to let surtaxes remain at
their present abominably high rate.
Unless congress revises the tax law,
and carries out the election prom
ises of both parties. the bond market
may be adversely affected. Every 9TH
er factor in the situation, however,
points to continued better prices, aud
continued activity in the bond market
for months and perhaps years to cone.
Failures are already showing fall
ing off in number. The crop situation
looks better than it did. The sales of
the mail order houses are showing sn
