the price of their stsple for the bal
ance Of the year. In the old cotton
states it is Of equal Importance that
the reduction in the use Of commercial
fertilizers under cotton be equal to or
greater than the reduction in cotton
acreage. There has been an effort to
make it appear that the present de-
mand for commercial fertilizers is
heavier than ever before. | am salts
fed that this only appears IN compar-
ison with the demand for guano at the
present time and the demand at this
time a year ago when farmers had pur-
chased most of their guano during
January and February. This year they
placed no orders scarcely until the first
Of March.
Let every man be s;eadfast and true
to himself and his country and on the
first day Of June we will be able to
control the cotton situation
for the balance Of the year and force
the payment of at least 10 cents per
pound for the staple by the cotton
and spinners Of the world
who will be compelled to pay that
price in order to secure the necessary
supply to meet the present heavy de-
mand for consumption.

natural enemy Of the germ Of con-

when the other is present, says Consul
Canada, at Vera Cruz, Mexico, in a
report just received at the State De-
partment. The consul states that two
eminent scientists have discovered
that the tapeworm prevents fhe or
ganism from being infected with tu-
berculosis baccili, and it has been
proven in the case Of a consumptive
affected with tapeworm that he COM
pletely recovered his health. To es.
tablish the efficiency Of this remedy
the doctor injected a liquid prepared
from the taenia into several consump-
tives, which resulted in a complete
cure.

Washington. The former Panama
Commission, previous to the time il
resigned, was about to sign a contrac;
for 200 japanese laborers to work on
the isthmian canal. The contract pro-
vided for a work day of ten hours,
and a quarrel arose as to whether the
government could employ laborers for
more than eight hours any calendar
day. The subject was referred to the
Attorney General for an opinion. This
opinion has not yet. been rendered, and
the matter will again come up before
the new commission. A question also
has been raised as to the right to i'm
port contract labor in the canal zone,
but it is held that the canal zone is
not like other territories in the United
States, and therefore is not subject to
the contract labor law.

CRITICISED BY
COMPTROLLER
rs TEE SECRETARY OF TIE IN
TEnIcR.
ACCEPTING or REBATES
From Southern Pacific Railroad on
Freight Of Contractors Engaged in
IRRIGATION Work in West.


Washington.-The comptroller oi
the treasury has rendered a decision
in which he cri,ieises the proposed ac-
ton Of the secretary Of the interior
in accepting rebates from the South
ern Pacific railroad on freight Of con-
tractors engaged in work in the west
under the irrigation and reclama ion
act. In a communication to the comp
troller on March 20 last the secretary
of the interior says:
ION October 13, 1904, the depart
ment approved a contract with the
Southern Pacific Company, providing
for certain concessions TO contractors
under the reclamation act in the
freight rates on heir plant and mate
rials shipped to and from the work on
the projects.
"0thcr contracts Of similar char
aeter since have been negotiated with
the principal roads. These concessions
in all bidders on the work for the re-
clamation service in order that they
may make due allowance for such con-
cessions in their bids.
The comptroller says:
"If | may be permi. ted to express
an opinion as to the legality Of such
transactions when considered in rela-
tion to sections , and - Of the inter
STATE commerce acts of February 4,
1887 and 1889, would say that that It
is extremely doubtful if either can be
maintained. BY what authority the
government can contract with a rail
road so that a contractors PLAN shall
receive rebaies not applicable to the
shippers is beyond my comprehension.
If this right exis,s, il might as well
extend to flour, hay and other com
modities and the vehicles used by
contractor in making delivery 10 the
government. But granting such rights
when covered By contract and such
rebate taken into consideration when
the contract is made by what stretch
of authority can The government sep
in where the contract between il and
the contractor has been enterede into
and the amount to be paid for the
work and the materials is fixed and
liquidated and receive or take from
the price because Of the railroad re-
bate!
"The government, above all others,
should not be parry to a violation Of |
either the letter or spirit of the inter-
state commerce act as regards the
question of rebates" /"
The interior department replied to
this letter, insisting on the legality of
their proposed action and stating
that the rebates in question probably
would amount to a million dollars in
The next seven years. In the course Of
his response to this letter the con-
troller says that the amount Of these
rebates being large is q cogent reason
why the government Should make no
mistake by being a party or a benef-
,iary with vocation Of The law prohib-
ting the giving Of discriminating re-
Da;es.
