Taft, has Issued a statement arguing I
against the bill, repealing such exemp-
tion. After pointing out the fact that
the United States la spending $300,000.

"We atone are expending the untold
millions necessary to fortify and pro
tect the canal so that some belligerent
eager to secure the resulting advan
tage may not destroy it. We alone
are bearing the risk of losing all this
Investment as th result of some
natural cataclysm, such as an earth
quake, against which no human agen
cy can secure us; we alone have stood
fot whatever of criticism has come
from the manner of acquiring the
canal zone a criticism encouraged
and fostered by the very class which
now seeks to turn over to (Europe, as
a gratuity, the benefits of our actions;
we alone have put the lives of the
flower of our army engineers and of
thousands of American citizens
through all the hazards and dangers
of fatal tropic maladies; and finally
no other country has shared and none
other proposes to share one penny of
this expenditure or any phase of any
risk connected with our stupendous
undertaking.
Hot Untitled to Equal Benefits.
"Surely on these facts theTe arises

Britain is entitled to the benefits of
this collossal work on the same and
Identical terms as we, the owners, the

she shall dictate how we shall treat
matters of purely local national rade
and commerce, or that we shall be de
nied the very rights In respect to our
domestic commerce which she herself
claims and exercises and which every
other nation in the world possesses.
There are six rules in article three
of the treaty on which Great Britain
bases Its protest. The first grants
a privilege and the other five specify
the conditions of enjoyment. "l ne

Dr. Fern M. Jones has come from
Caldwell. Idaho, to lnvlt the Port
land Commercial club and Chamber of
Commerce to Join a tri-state alliance
which will send representatives to
Washington urging that congress ap
propriate for reclamation the $100,000,
000 recommended by Franklin K. Lane,
secretary of the Interior.
Action in conformity with his sug
gestion is being taken today by both
organizations.
In arguing for his community Dr.
Jones says that 10 years ago north
and south of Boise river were $00,000
acres called the Boise-Payette project.
The 200,000 acres on the south were
reclaimed first, although the original
plan had been to reclaim the .100,000
acres to the north first. But It was
found the $1,800,000 apportioned for
the project would barely build a dam
for the north side, while It would
build a dam and reclaim some of the
land on the south side. So the settlers
of the north side said they would yield
to their neighbors.
"And ever since .they have been liv
ing on promises," said Dr. Jones.
Men and women have stayed out
there in the hot son without a tree
for shade until some of them have
lost their minds. If they had enough
to cat it was because they got but
somewhere and did work by the day,
but many of them have lacked food.
Richard A. Ballinger, then secretary
of the interior, said three years ago
that they might withdraw from the
original project, interest private capi
tal and get the land irrigated. But
they failed to Interest private capital.
Black Canyon project was the name
then given the project.
"The settlers were offered, arter
this experience, a leave of absence
from the land until they should get
water. You understand they had been
conforming to government rules. They
had been planting something every
