Breeding at random and %repenting
at leisure has run its course-at least
it should have by this time. 1t is now
in order that less time and money be
spent on this, or hat or the other
breed and more attention be paid to
the individual animal.

before Secretary Metcalfe, a propos-

MONEY PROBLEM
FOR CONGRESS
MANY DEMANDS WILL BE MADE
ON REVENUES.
BILLION DOLLAR CONGRESS
Ne Longer Causes Any Surprise and
the Day of Two Billion Dollar Con-
crosses is Fast Approaching.

Washington, ID. C.-Looming up
bigger and more troublesome than ev-
er before, the problem of how to hold
down appropriations and keep them
commensurate with the revenues, and
at the same time satisfy the rapidly
growing demands for government ex-
penditures, is giving the Republican
leaders of House and Senate no end
of worry and apprehension. It is
coming to be the most vexing ques-
ton with which congress has to deal.
1t has been serious enough with pre-
ceding congresses, but all indications
are that the Sixtieth congress, which
will begin its first and long session the
first Monday in December, will frd
itself sorely beset.
On the one hand there will be a
fiercer and more insistent clamor for
appropriations and authorizations
than ever assailed any other congress
on the other hand, will be the fact
that appropriations have already
reached vast aggregate, nearly the
limit of the country's revenues on
the basis Of present laws, and more
revenue will have to be raised or a
deficit incurred if the outlay is to
KEEP on swelling. There is the further
important fact that presidential and
congressional election is approaching,
and it might prove embarrassing 10
the Republican party if the Democrats
keep the issue of extravaganza to the
front.
The total appropriations made by
the second or last session Of the Fiji
ty-ninth Congress amounted to $780,
94S,679. including the permanent an
nual appropriations. This broke all
previous records. The first or long
session of the Fifty-lInth congress
provided for total appropriations Of
1919, 5S9,1S5. This total broke all
records up to that time. In the ag-
gregate, the Fifty-ninth Congress ap-
propriated the enormous sum OF ST.
1888, 1854, over one and three quar-
ter billions. The Fifty-eighth Con-
gress was not far behind, with a total
of 81 ,601, 1857, 010. Some men, a few
years ago, stood appalled, when they
heard the phrase GA billion dollar
Congress applied. That was in the
days of Tom Reed, Speaker Of the
House. But the term has not mere
ly become outgrown and a thing of
history, but the day is close at hand,
unless unexpected checks are put on
appropriations, when the term, "a
two-billion-dollar Congress- will have
to be applied.

Beef on Ice Fourteen Years.

DR.. Harvey w. Wiley, Uncle Sam i
wizard in chemistry, is about to re-
lease from captivity 4 side Of beef
that has been held in q refrigerating
plant for more than fourteen years.
This is the story:
1.-TWO years ago Dr. Wiley, chief
chemist of the Department Of Agri-
culture, inaugurated series Of ex-
periments with view to determining
the nutritive value Of meat, game
poultry, eggs, butter, milk, cream
and other food products kept in cold
storage for indefinite periods. The re-
suits are about to be placed in the
form of a report, which will be sub
mitted to congress at its coming SEES
sion. These experiments demonstrate,
it is understood, that it is unsafe for
three months or longer.
When we started these expert
ments,'' said DR.. Wiley today, mo
tice Of our intention was sent broad
cast to the managers Of refrigerating
plants. One Of them in Cleveland
informed the department. that he had
side Of beef that had been in re-
frigeration for more than twelve
years. We asked the Cleveland man
to contribute it for use in our scheme
Of experimentation. He did,
DR.. Wiley was asked if this long
lived piece Of beef would be fed to
the poison squad, whose members have
laid their stomachs on the altar Of
science, and who for oeveral months
have been devouring all sorts Of foods
selected because Of the belief that
they are deleterious to heath.
cit will not" said DR.. Wiley en-
phatically.
"Why not?" he was asked.
owe will first try it on the dog, "
he replied with smile.
Then DR.. Wiley explained. Meat
and other foods, if appearances are
to be accepted, may be kept in cold
storage for long periods without any
apparent degradation in their nutri-
tive value Of quality. But between
the time they are removed from a
refrigerator and the time they are
prepared to be fed ptomaine or aka
loidal bodies may develop that would
make them fatal if taken into the
human stomach.
The meat, poultry, game and other
articles that have been in DR.. Wiley s
ice house for the last two years will
not, therefore, be fed to the poison
squad. Their condition will be tested
by the chief chemist and his assls-
tants in other ways. When put in the
refrigerator plant in the first instance
the tissues Of the meat were carefully
measured, and since have been re-
measured at intervals.

For Portable Schools.

An item Of $25, 1000 for the erection

thorization. "The way we intend

The fuller utilization Of forest pro-
duets which characterized the opera

the greatest gain Of the year in pri-

Eminent success in systematic effort
to prevent damage by fire was OBJ
tanned by private owners as we'll as
by the states and the federal service.
That forest preservation has come to
be regarded as matter Of deep con-
Germ to every citizen is manifest. Pri-
vate forestry has grown until not only
are professional foresters employed
regularly by number Of large firms,
but firms of CONSULTING and contract
ing foresters supervise cutting opera
tions and guarantee to the owners re-
newal Of the trees desired in the for

BLACK IS TROUBLESOME
Plan to Relegate Street Commits
sioner Part of Ambitious
Program.

The city administration has already be-
gun to figure how it is going to escape
from the dilemma which Councilman
Black seems TO want to force 1t into
by his suggestion that the city engineer
be made street supervisor thus RELOCATING
Jake Raleigh TO the position of an in
speCtOr under the orders of L. c. Kcl-
sey.
Various members of the prevailing par
~ had tried TO make Black . ~SOod''
and stop his attacks on the street de
partment. but that worthy has two more
years TO serve and has no fear of the
coming election. The fact that Black
as chairman % the engineering commit
Zee of the council would be the real DO
fentate should his suggestion be adopted
Black, it is said. is Jhirsting for more
power. and in this contemplated move
sees the way to bring unto himself the
patronage of the street department
The mayor, il is said, has tried his
best &c make Black desist but the lat
ter has refused, although told plainly that
his tactics will endanger the party at the
next election
Black will not introduce the resolution
comforting these additional powers on the
engineer and taking away practically all
the authority of the street superinten-
dent, but he will have some one else
start the ball a-rolling.
Councilman Mulvey, who of late has
shown an alarming tendency to break
away from his party. will, il is thought
bid Black in his endeavOrs. Black and
Muivey are not friends, but MulVey s
looking TO the future and hopes to get
a slice Of the patronage if he supports
Blacks move.
The whole matter was discussed at the
secret caucus held Tuesday in the may
ors office, but no way OF making Black
'be good was discovered.
