Waahlbgion, July 10. Thanki lo Hptaker Cannon, tha llanahrough bill diverting 11,000,000 from th reclama tion fund to drain private awemp land In North Dakota, waa not allowed to com before th houae at the Meant aea alon. Had the bill been given consid eration it would almnat certainly have become a law, lor II had already paed tha aenata, waa Indoraed by a majority ol th houae eoramtlteeon public land, and qnly a handful ol Weatern mem ber war In a mood to oppoae tha bill in debate. Bpnaker Cannon waa th man who deflated tbi ontlatight on th none too large reclamation fund, and hi poal Hon ftiu altogathar oneipeetad, too. When congrrea waa framing the recla mation law, and in tba year prelooi, Cannon waa one ol tha itrongeat oppon ent of the prnpoawl leglalation. II believed It would deplete th treeauiy and Inter far with other government work; furthermore, be contend! that Irrigation ol arid land could be carried on by private enterprise under tha Car ey act, and therefore raw no neceaaltv for ntilliing public land receipt In tbi great work. HI ore that law wat written on the aatute book and baa been put Into op eration, Kprakrr Cannon haa traveled through the Weat, ba obeerved th vait bone at that are resulting from It, and today ha i aa (launch a friend of tha law aa any man from th arid Weat. He ha proved bimaelf better fritod of the law than many men who helped to frame It. In the cloalng day of the esion an effort waa made to ruth through the aenate a bill lo take a part ol the recla mation lurd for draining the Dltmal wamp, but the bill waa refuaed eon Mention, a number of Weatern aenat- or hiving been rouaed to raaliiatlon of tba danger that lurka behind blllt ol tbia character, and notice waa eerved by Benalor Fulton that no more dial) I hut lone would b made from the recla mation furd for tha brneOt ol atatea that do not contribute to that fund. Tha aenator behind th bill provid ing lor the drainage of th Diimel awamp, the Florida Kveigladea and the h,lg awampa along the Mieeieaippi river, on the other hand, are determined to force through thill respective bill, aud it la to tie eipected that they will unite at the belt ereeion. The Weat ' not strong enough In nunilwr to outvnt the Sonln, which 1 sura to stand together on these drain age pmpoattiooe, and th only hope, o far as the einate I concerned, I in arousing adverse sentiment among men from lb Northern and Ftaatern stales. On lair pranlatlon ol the case, tba man from th Writ ought to be ahlu to win" out, but they can only win by atandiug together, and thee who in the recent ecu inn voted lor the liana brough bill will have to renounce their former vote and declare themselves ageieit all legislation that will deplete lb national reclamation tuna.

It ha always been tbe practice for warehousemen and miller to furnish sacks to farmer and take th value ol tb rack out ol th purchase price ol the grain when told Recently miller and warehousemen in other valley counties decided to dis continue tbi practice and to require farmer to buy tb lack ontrigbt Marion and Polk county grainbuyers bav practically agreed to tbeT eame plan, though no formal action baa been taken. This is a blessing to valley farm er," declared W. A. Taylor, a promln ent grain farmer. "Tbe warehousemen bav got none tb stsri of ns, for al ready we have begun arranging to buy sacks independent of thorn. We bav placed on reel vea In their power too long. Now the farmer will build granaries on their own farm, buy only sacks enough to haul grain from the field to tbe granary, let tbe grain lie loose in bin, and thu b compelled to bny only one-tenth as many sacks a they do. 'I bave learned by experience that I can sometime get 8 cento more a bosh el lor my wheat by having poaaession of tba grain when I get ready to Mil Farmers can make enough in a aingle season by Increaaed price of wheat to pay for their granaries. "Let tb warehousemen combine, We are doing eomething in that line ourselves and we shall buy our sacks without paying tribute to tb ware housemen."

Congress Will Be Asked to Enlarge Presidents Powera. Washington. July 10. Tariff reel procitv as the beginning ef tariff revi sion may be made the chief issue of tbe abort session of ths 69th congress. It is more than likely tbat after the elec tion in November step will be taken in the direction of the passage of a general reciprocity law. Whatever reciprocity there is must be by a new law. because the reciprocity feature of the Dingley act expired two year alter it passage, and none of the treaties negotiated on der its provision succeeded in securing raticfiation by the senate. Tb reciprocity ol tbe future must o statutory, tbat is to say, th president must be autborixed in some way, either bv tbe separation of a maximum and jiinimum tariB or by a horisontai re duction, to promote trade relations with tohre countries This would not mean revision of the tariff if reciprocity could be accomplished on a percentage basis, tbat ia to say, by the application of a more general principle ol tbe pres ent law without disturbing tb rate themselves, thus provoking a general tariff discussion.
