Show THE SPANISH FORK PRESS, SPANISH FORK, UTAH ns rats-- ' If, a Privilege ;; BILL DEFEATED House Cooperative Marketing Bill Enacted aa Membera Clash Hotly Would Authorize $225,000. After rejecting the Washington Feaa farm credits bill, which had been indorsed by President Coolidge, by a vote of 26 to 64, the senate then passed the house cooperative marketing meas-ore. The proposal approved, which also was sponsored by the administration, would auhtorize a $225,000 approprla, tion for the creation of a cooperative marketing division In the agriculture department. The Fess proposal, offered by the Ohio senator aa a rider to the cooper atlve marketing measure, would have 0 authorized in appropriation of for loans to farmers coopera tlves. It was snowed under by a vote of 54 to 26. Its defeat was more crushing than that administered In the senate last week to the McNary equalization fee bill, which was opposed by the administration, and was rejected by a e margin. Adoption by the senate of an amendment eliminating naval stores from the measure moans that the cooperative marketing bill must go to conference can be adjusted and the measure sent to the president probably the only farm relief measure to reach the White House during this session, which is nearing a close. The vote on the cooperative marketing bill came after a ten hours' continuous session, during which a wide range of proposals, to change tariff of the railroad rates for the benefit of the farmer and to aid him by other methods, had been thrown In the discard. $100,-000,00- six-vot- Heat Records are Smashed by Wave Chicago A heat wave, coasting across the northern half of the continent from the Pacific slope, brought record temperatures to the Central West and the Lake region.

A disastrous earthquake of unprecedented violence is reported to have occurred at midnight on the island of Crete. The shocks were followed by loud rumblings, with landslides and the collapse of houses, causing many fires. The center of the disturbance was at Candla, Important coast city, where the entire population was thrown Into a panic. Similar experiences are reported from Kanea, on the other end of the island, and from many of the mailer towns and villages in Crete. The number of victims is believed to be great. Accurate information is till lacking. It Is believed the earthquake extended over a large area. The Athens observatory states that the center of the earthquake was between the Cyclades islands and Crete, probably originating in the Sandorinl volcano. Other shocks are reported from the Ionin islands in western Greece. latest reports indicate that the shocks which rocked the island came entirely without warning, and lasted for fully five minutes. The famous archaelogical museum at Candla was destroyed. The quake was felt all over Greece and the Islands. Aa late dispatch states that serious damage was done at Rhodes.

News Notes jj I 0, Fess-Tinch- g Utah-Colornd- Washington. The most angrily contested question In this congress will appear in the senate this week, when that body takes up the rivers and harbors bill. Among the hundred and authorized all ixty improvements over the United States, one Is for the superficially Innocuous purpose ot deepening the Illinois river. Back of that are Industrial, constitutional and International questions of extreme importance. The advocates of the bill say its purpose is merely to make a more navigable passage for waterborne freight from Chicago to the Gulf of Mexico. Opponents say the additional purpose and certain result Is to enable Chicago to take more water out of the great lakes. A condensed summary up to date would say that Chicago twenty years ago, in order to get rid of sewerage cut through from the Chicago river to the great lakes, and abstracted, from the latter about 4167 cubic feet per second, which was turned down through the Illinois river to the Mississippi, instead of going the normal way through Niagara to the Atlantic ocean. Later Chicago Increased the amount of 8500 cubic feet. The partisans of Chicago say that only six inches of this fall Is due to Chicago diversion, and that the rest is due to r what they call a cycle of low water, attended by abnormally small rainfalls and abnormally high evaporation. Several suits asked for an injunction against Chicago. The states of New Ohio, Indiana, Yoik, Pennsylvania, Michigan, Wisconsin and Minnesota Joined in a second suit. Hearing f the suits will begin in the supreme court October 4. Competent lawyers have told the writer that these suits compose the most important question before the supreme court since the sectional suits arising out of slayery. Congressman Theodore Burton of Ohio contends, among other arguments, that congress should postpone action about the Illinois river until the supreme court decides the pending eults. The advocates of the deepening say they have done all that Is necessary by Inserting a proviso that "nothing In the act shall operate to change the existing status ot dlverston from Lake Michigan, but the whole question of diversion shall remain and be unaffected hereby as if this act had not been passed." To this, the answer of the opponents is that exactly this language has the effect of legalizing what Chicago had already done; wnd the past acts of Chicago are precisely what is In' question before the supreme court, as Congressman Charles A. Monney ot Cleveland, Ohio, put it, the pending acrecognition would be "congresisonal tion of diversion.- Reasons why you will prefer a Rickenbacker 6 or 8 The RklM)bcfew is thorougMy modern, for incorporated in Its design are all tbs latest engineering refinements. - Best quality ot materials only, used throughout the construction of motor, chassis and body.
