Columbia Basin Scheme Too
for Reclamation Service.
SPOKANE, Wash., Aug. 30. Con
gressional action Is the only feasible
means for handling the Columbia
basin irrigation project," Arthur P.
Davis, director of the United States
reclamation service, is quoted as de
claring today In an interview with
a staff representative of the Chron
icle at Yakima, Wash.
"It. is too big an enterprise for the
United States reclamation service to
tackle under any existing or prospec
tive appropriations," Mr. Davis was
quoted as declaring, and he added
that "the entire original fund of the
Smith-McNary bill would not pay for
more than half the project."
He declared that difficulties in the
way of development of the project
Included that of getting enough peo
ple on the project who could pay the
necessary $200 an acre. Director
Davis made an inspection about three
weeks ago of the lands embraced in
the project.

The treaty of peace with Germany,
which was signed last Thursday at
Berlin, will be sent to the senate Sep
tember 21, the day that congress re
assembles after its 30-day recess, it
was stated today at the White House.
Prompt ratification of the pact is
understood to be hoped for by Prest
dent Harding. While the senate leg
Islative programme as outlined at the
time last weeks recess was taken
called for enactment of revenue or
tariff legislation immediately upon
reassembling and then for action on
the railroad debt funding bill, sev
eral senate leaders expressed the be
lief today that an early place could
be found on the programme for the
treaty. Simultaneoua Action Wanted.
Statements have been made by ad
ministration officials that it was de
sired that the senate and German
reichstag consider the treaty simul
taneously. The German legislative
body Is scheduled to meet September
27, five days after the senate resumes
its sessions and about the time senate
leaders expect the treaty to be re
ported by the foreign relations committee.
Proclamation of a state of peace, it
also was said officially today, will be
deferred . until after the German
treaty Is ratified. . It was further
made known that various agencies of
the government were Btudying steps
considered necessary to bring about
the full restoration of commercial re
lations between the two countries.
BUDAPEST, Aug. 30. (By the As
sociated Press.) The treaty of peace

gary, which was concluded here yes

Banffy and Grant Smith, United
States commissioner, was signed in
the palace occupied by the American
mission at 6 P. M.

After the signatures were affixed
Mr. Smith and Mr. Banffy shook

So many bids were submitted for
read work to the state highway com
mission yesterday that the commis
sion was occupied all day and last
evening opening the proposals. This
is the first time since the commis
sion was created that an entire day
has been necessary for the opening
alone of bids.
Scores and scores of bids, a ver
itable flood of them, were received
for some 80 miles of road work and
a large number of bridges. The tab
ulating force of the department will
have the bids analyzed for the com
mission today and awards will - be
made. All of the big contractors and
veterans In the business were rep
resented in the bidding and there
was a drove of new men in the field-
Many bids also were received from
contractors in adjoining states.
Judging from a hasty examination
of figure's, the bids, as a whole, were
declared exceptionally good, which
means that the prices offered were
reasonably low. The falling labor
market and increased efficiency wete
held to account for the improved
bidding.
The offer of J2.500.000 highway
bonds was not awarded yesterday,
the commission taking the best bid
under advisement until this morning.
The best offer was made by a syndi
cate consisting of White. Weld . &
Co., Blodgett & Co., Lee, Hig-gin-son
& Co., Merchants Loan &
Trust of Chicago and the Se
curity Savings & Trust company of
Portland. This offer was a premium
of 31750 for the 82,500.000 bearing
5 per cent interest. This bid was
a shade lower than the best bid re
ceived for $2,000,000 in bonds a month
ago, when $2940 was the premium.
The commission may sell only part
of the 32.500.000 today Instead of the
entire amount.
Governor Olcott. came from Salem
to confer with the commission. There
is a strip of yellow pine a mile long
on The Dalles-California highway,
eight miles south of Bend, which the
governor wishes preserved. The
Brooks-Scanlon company has logged
all but this small tract and is. pre
paring to finish it. Governor Olcott,
Robert W. Sawyer, judge of Deschutes
county; George Cecil, United States
district forester, and members of the
committee to preserve the highway
scenery explained the situation to
the highway commission. H. E.
Allen, representing the lumber com
pany quoted a letter from the east
ern headquarters of the concern,
declaring the plan to preserve a strip
of trees 300 feet wide on either side
of the road "visionary and imprac
ticable," and asserting that such a
small stand of trees would soon be
destroyed by storms.
It appears that if Representative
Sinnott's bill, which has passed the
house of representatives, becomes a
law the government can reimburse
the lumber company for this tract by
giving in exchange an equal area in
the reserve. . Mr. Cecil said he would
make a recommendation for such an
exchange, and the governor and the
highway commission agreed to use
their Influence to this end. The-mat-ter

President Harding stepped to the
front today in behalf of the father of
19 children 16 living who Is work
ing as a porter in a New York depart
ment store at $20 a week.
In sending his congratulations to
the mother, Mrs. Domenico Zaccahea,
the president told bow his mother,
who bad brought up eight children,
had expressed the hope prior to her
death that she might have been the
mother of eight more.
After Mrs. Zaccahea had replied,
telling of the burden on the father In
caring for his big family. President
Harding wrote John Wannamaker,
the merchant, asking If something
could not be done for him. and Mr.
Wannamaker promised to help.
The president's letter to the mother
follows:
"My dear Mrs. Zaccahea: I noticed
in the photogravure section of one
of the Sunday papers, a picture of
yourself, your husband and your very
remarkable family of 16 children. 1
cannot resist expressing my very cor
dial congratulations. Perhaps I am
moved to do so because of a little in
cident In my own life. My mother
hore eight children and raised six
of them to maturity. One afternoon,
shortly before her death, we were all
at my home and she spoke of having
borne eight children and said, with
an affection most appealing- to me,
that she had been happy to bear eight
children and if she had her life to
live over ehe would have no desire
to change it except to bear eight
more. I thought it was a .beautiful
thing for her to say and the recol
lection of it inspired me to write my
very cordial congratulations to you
and add thereto my very best wishes
"Very truly yours,
"WARREN G. HARDING."
To this. Mrs. Zaccahea replied:.
"Dear Mr. P-esident: With my most
grateful pleasure, I have the honor to
acknowledge receipt of your excel
lency's letter congratulating me for
my remarkable family.
"I wish to be excused for the delay
in acknowledging receipt.
I was very delighted at tha news
that you come from a large family and
your mother was proud of having
given birth to eight children and
raised six to maturity.
"I gave birth to. 19 children, 16 of
whom are aJive as their photograph is
herein inclosed and I send it to you
as my most precious possession.

couraged at the great task before us,

younger, but one thing I regret Is that
my husband's earning capacity is only

The labor figures do not mean that
one-third of the workers are idle. The

A new basis of taxation to take the
place of the house revenue measure
and practically all present tax laws
S. proposed today by Senator
Smoot, republican. Utah, -who an
nounced he was preparing a bill em
bodying the plan, which he esti
mated would yield $3,895,000,000 this
year. He added that he would take
the question up with the senate
finance committee when It begins
consideration of revenue questions
Thursday. '
The use of only six sources of '
taxation, including a tax on manufac
turers' sales Instead of the more than
35 now on the statute books, was ad
vocated by the senator.
The six wells from which the Utah
senator proposed to pump revenue
and the amounts he estimated each
would yield annually follows:
Income taxes (maximum rate
32 per cent), $830,000,000.
Ten per cent tax on net corpora
tion profits, $445,000,000.
Tobacco taxes (present rates),
$255,000,000.
Estate taxes, $150,000,000.
Manufacturers' sales- tax (3 per
cent), $1,200,000,000.
Import taxes (tariff). $400,000,000.
While the six sources would pro
duce only $3,280,000,000. Mr. Smoot
estimated that the other $615,000,000
would be obtained from collection of
unpaid taxes, receipts from war sal
vage and the old tax on withdrawals
of liquor from bonded warehouses.
Unpaid taxes, he figured should add
$340,000,000 to this year's revenue,
war salvage receipts should be around
$200,000,000 and the liquor tax should
produce another $75,000,000.
The $3,893,000,000 anticipated as the
law's yield, will exceed the govern
ment commitments at presen' by
$434,700,000, according to Mr. Smoot.
The surplus, he said, could be used
by the treasury to meet other de
mands which might be made.
