Several Med ford citizens talked freely on the situation and endeavor ed to straighten out the water ques tion for the remainder of the assem bly. Earl Gaddis. city councilman, who has given a great deal of thought to the solution of the problem, out lined the question and spoke on the advisability of securing a new supply of water from Wg Butte Springs. E. E. Kelly spoke on the question and proposed the plan of securing a new supply from Rogue River. He objected to the city's building an other long pipe line and pointed out the detriment of adding to the city's indebtedness by such construction. He suggested that Col. Frank Ray. a former resident of Medford, might take it upon himself to finance such a project, which would involve the Installation of a pumping plant If rarrled out in compliance with Mr. Kelly's proposal Poth of the above men were in favor of separating the irrigation and city water systems.

In tha Hnv II uuura on crude peroieum and fuel oil I The president's engagements include were advocated tcdav in the senate by Senator Harreld. republican. Ok lahoma, as the only means cf pro tecting the independent oil producers of tbe United States against what he described as a monopoly by the Stand ard, b. I. Doheny and Royal Dutch Shell Oil companies. Renewing his charge of last Anz- ust that the Standard, Doheny and Royal Shell companies were seeking to monopolize oil production in this country. Senator Harreld said that since the time the Royal Dutch Shell had taken over the I'nioa Oil com pany of Delaware, thus getting con trol of $75,000,000 worth of prop erties; that the Standard and Doheny companles had acquired the Teapot Dome in Wyoming and other valua ble holdings in California and Wyo ming and had acquired 99 per cen( of the stock of the Jlidwest Refinery company. Charging that the three companies he named had a monopoly of produc tion of oil In Mexico, Mr. Harrend told the senate it was their policy to charge all that the tariff would bear and that consequently the price would not be affected by the tariff. He argued that on the other hand the tariff would bring to the government a huge amount of revenue and at the same time protect the thousands of small independent producers In the I'nltcd States. , The Harreld amendment to impose tariffs of 33 cents a barrel on petro leum an,d 23 cents a barrel on fuel oil was rejected 43 to 9.
