DELAY LIKELY
IN ACTION ON
BANKING BILL
Glass Measure Probably
Will Not Be Acted on by
Special Session.
BY RAY TUCKER
Times Special Writer

WASHINGTON, May 16. The
Glass bank reform bill will not be
passed at this session Of congress
unless President Roosevelt definitely
places his influence behind it, in the
opinion of Democratic leaders on
capitol hill
So far, the President has not in
dicated he Will insist upon it.
Although major differences over
banking revision have been settled
by the administration and Senator
Carter Glass Dem, Va. author of
the measure, the White House fears
consideration would arouse contro-
versies ieopardizing other Iegisla-
ton.
Already financial interests and
their representatives have an
nounced opposition to several i'm
portant features.
The bill was reported to the SEN
ate Monday by the banking and
currency committee, but it does not
figure on the program of legisla-
ton framed by the President or
Majority Leader Robinson Dem,
Ark
Though the senate leaders do not
want to assume responsibility for
delaying action, they Will be con-
tent if circumstances shelve the
measure.
The clause arou5ing most oppo-
sition in the new bill is the de
posits guarantee. Bankers associa-
tons already have flooded Capitol
Hill with protests on the ground
that state trials Of this system
proved it unavoidable.
Eastern financial interests still
are antagonistic to the provision
requiring regulation of great pri-
vate banks like J. P. Morgan g. Co.
and enforcement Of investment af-
filiates from commercial inStitu-
tons.
Western progressiyes plan to re-
new their fight against statewide
extension of branch banking. They
also fear that the deposits guaran-
tee will make national banks so
strong that they will dominate the
corner banks in their home COM
munities.

FIGHT TROLLEY
LINE REMOVAL
Abandoning of Meridian
Heights Run Meets 0ppo-
Sition at Hearing.

Confronted by unexpected oppo-
sition, proposal of the Indianapolis
Railways to abandon the Meridian
Heights car line on Pennsylvania
street, north of Thirty fourth street,
was held up Monday before the city
works board.
A. w. Kaye, SAT North Delaware
street, and John w. BowluS, 204
East Forty-seventh street, members
of the protesting group, were to con-
fer with car company officials today
and obtain signatures on proposal
petition. Objections we're based on
increased transportation costs.
The street car company said
school children will be issued ten
bus fares for cents if the street
car line is abandoned.
The company also has informed
the works board it will resurface the
street between Thirty-fourth and
Thirty ninth streets on Illinois
street made necessary by the pro-
posed removal of tracks in abandon
ment of that portion of the Maple
ton line.
Additional twelve minute feeder
bus service will be added to the bus
service on North Capitol avenue to
supplant the car service. The board
granted the company petition for
rerouting of the Butler Fairview
bus line.

WATER RATES
SUIT ON AGAIN
IN u. S. COURT
Building of Hypothetical
White River Dam Holds
Hearing Interest.

Building of hypothetical dam
on White river as a means of de-
termining the Indianapolis Water
Company's water rights valuation
occupied attorneys and witnesses in
federal court today in the water
company's suit for higher rates.
George w. Ftller, New York.
company consulting engineer, who
last week submitted three separate
rate-making valuations for the COM
pany, ranging from s26 ,OOO,O 900 to
nearly S30000,00O today resumed
the witness stand under crosS-ex-
animation by George w. Hufsmith,
assistant encouragement.
Builds Hypothetical Dam
The latter elected from Fuller the
explanation that his figure of S1187,-
600 as the valuation of the COM
pany's right to divert water from
White river into the canal, was
based on the hypothetical construc-
ton of a damn above Noblesville.
The purpose of a dam there would
be to provide an even flow of va
ter in the river the entire year below
the Broad Ripple dam.
At present, he explained, the wa
ter company, through adverse pos
session. has the right to divert the
water, but that his figure took into
account the problem of the COM
pany if it just were starting out.
The entire flow of the river is
diverted from the section between
the Broad Ripple dam and where
the canal flows back into the river
at Washington street, eight months
each year, he said.
Lawyer Rebukes Hufsmith
If the company already did not
possess the right 10 divert the
water, he added, it would have to
establish the dam above Noblesville
to impound flood water in the
spring, or face damage suits filed
by riparian rights owners along the
eleVen-mile stretch of the river be-
low the canal intake.
Several times during the hear
ing, William L. Ransom, chief Of
counsel for the company, rebuked
HufSmith for not permitting Fuller
to complete his answers, once re-
marking:
IF you would just let the wit
ness finish answering ore question,
that would be a notable achieve
ment."'

it, but I was open to conviction. For
three miles along the lake front the
Fair is confusion of color and mass
and movement and noise If the Fair
architecture had been half as good as
1t might have been it would have been
twice as good as it was. It was fairly
successful, anyhow, but in the nature
of things the fair was poor place
for an exposition of the principles of
the new architecture. The fair is jerry
built-the contracts call for erection
and removal and the buildings show
it. They are push-overs. Designed to
carry surging mobs of gapers past dis
play cases, they are really only covered
corridors, lacking the functional in
tegrity of style Of, say, modern office
tower. The architectural form repre-
sented by the skyscraper- the steel
skeleton tower with the stress on the
vertical in function and design-that
had no place in the fair. The fair
buildings were mostly experiments in
floor design, wall support. lighting
effects, color schemes, and the like.
The New Architecture is innmeasurably
better than the mixture of bad taste,
ostentatious display, and shoddy con-
struction that prevails in every Ameri-
can city today.

The state supreme court settled two moot ques-
tions when it declared the state sales tax valid
and the state income tax invalid last yeek
The sales tax has many opponents. 1t is true,
they contend, that it will put burden the
laborers and farmers, since a man that earns one
to three thousand dollars year spends ninety to
one hundred per cent of it for necessities, while
the who earns $4,000 year spend perhaps
ten fifteen per cent of his income for the neces-
sites of life On the other hand it will shift most
of the burden to the man with property and
little income the man who drifts from place to
place, adding nothing to the community in which
he is staying and yet reapng all the benefits Of the
government without paying This is the only tax
yet devised-save the poll tax, which should be
adopted once more-which can tax these individ-
uals
The state is perhaps better off without the in
come tax. 1t was intended to raise only between
100000 and 100000 a year, and would have
cost almost that much to administer. It would have
caused more headaches than any tax yet enacted,
as we'll.

What does it profit man to make better
mousetrap than his neighbor if he does not find a
market for that mousetrap? What does it profit
man to raise chickens if no one will buy chickens
or eggs? And what does it profit community to
raise early produce if they have no profitable mar
xets to absorb these early fruits and vegetables?
The Priest Rapids valley is favored with an
early season for fruits and vegetables. With the
abundance of sunshine granted us by nature and
an abundance of water from the Columbia river
or from wells, crops in this valley mature from
week to ten days before those in other localities
of the state Other places are able to show great
er production per acre, but we can get our pro-
duce to market first And yet, what markets?
Towns in the Yakima valley grow the same crops
that we do, and therefore cannot ours, even
if they are ready first The Coast markets are sup
piled by the California producers, and they are
flooded before can ship to them.
To the NORTH however, there are communities
which raise an abundance Of apples and yet no
asparagus, potatoes, no corn, no hay. ALI these
must be purchased from other localities If
able to supply them, our earliness would
give us advantage in price and steady mar
ket which is capable of absorbing all that can pos
sbly be grown here. But until the White Bluffs
Vantage road on the west side of the river built
this valley must continue to ship to proftless
kets.
The greatest need of the growers of the Priest
Rapids valley is the road between this valley and
Wenatchee and the north-central portion of the
state.
