 Opponents Claims
 Opponents of this provision charg- cd that 1t was unconstitutional; that if the tariff commission and the presi- dent could be given authority 10 low CT or raise the tariff 30 per cent they could be given authority in like man. ner to raise 1t or lower if 90 per cent. Thus doing away entirely with the constitutional provision that taxes and the raising of revenue should be solely a function of congress. Other opponents saw grave danger in giv- ing to any body of men the power. virtually. to raise or lower the values of production and industry in this country to the extent of billions of dollars annually. Others again saw that such provision would mean constant unsettling and instability of business. They claimed that if it was lad to have business unsettled by con- gross every four years in the writing | of new tariff act, how much worse | was it to have business constantly | ,gitated and fearful of the actions of | . body of men who had the power rom day to day to practically rewrite schedules of the tariff Others who ;aw the apparent necessity, in view of he alarming conditions of foreign ex- ,hange, for some sort of a flexible were desirous that it be limited in its operation for one year, IT two years at the most.

ing it continuously for nineteen
years.
An ample supply of water has
been piped a distance of more than
half a mile to the camp. The work
Of laying the three-inch main will
have been completed in two days.
A sewerage system connected with
the lavatories and main buildings
has been installed which will drain
the refuse to a main sewer some
600 feet distance and below the
camp.
More than fifty tents will COM
prise the canvas city to be erected
and to become the backbone of the
camp. A number of tents have been
donated by contributors whose
names they will bear. The more
tents there are the greater the pos
sible attendance at one time, and
for this reason the association is
making strenuous efforts to secure
tent donations. There is ample
room for an additional fifty tents
without leaving the crest of the
rlateau-like hill top.
Swimming Pool Needed.
One thing the camp lacks.
A swimming pool is needed.
This can be constructed in a
hollow at the foot of the hill for
annroxinately $500 and contrihu-
tions to pool fund are being
sought by the association. There
ie sufficient time to construct the
rooI for use during the present
season if the $500 fund can be
raised at once.
since the old camp ground was
taken over as a golf course it has
heen suggested by one of the leading
golfers of the city that golf players,
as a class, memorialize their sport
by each chipping in and in that way
rsising the required fund.

DESPITE danger of mob violence and

Acting Coroner O'Neill viewed the
body with the jury and then post

Leebrock, who had been appointed
a deputy constable the day before
he was shot, died at Casualty Hos

his body close to the heart. His
death was foreseen by attending
physicians when he was first ex-

Manager Closes Show.
The manager Of the carnival at
which the mob had been the night
of the fatal shooting became appre-
hensive last night when he heard
that mysterious telephone messages
had been received by the Hyatts-
Vile fire company to be in readiness
and he closed the show early. The
rumor was that the Ku Klux Kan
had planned to close the show. AS
a matter of precaution he notified
Constable Gasch that he would help
maintain order in the community by
closing down the place.
incidentally, the District Commits
sioners have voiced the opinion that
carnivals of the. itinerant class
should be taboo in the city. The
places at which they set up their
stands, it is contended, are a rem
devious for pickpockets and other

1t is a new camp to which they
will be introduced, .ocated a half
