"The machine owners of Bruce hired
farmers for FIVE miles In all direc-

that for that distance the roads are
so treated that they have good roads
around that town." One has to 80

was not to be expected that this pro-
gram would be enacted into law at a
single session Of Congress. The Presi-
dent, who's conversant with the WAYS
of legis alton, undoubtedly has been
aware that he could not get all his
program through in this session. and
he will doubtless be well satisfied if
several of mis- important bills are
passed.
Throughout the session the Senate
and House leaders have, without openly
standing in the way of the President.
exhibited an indifference 70 much of
what the President recommended, and
have made it clear that they would
put through only what they were com
PEELED to. That attitude has not
changed. Political exigencies may lead
them to pass the postal savings bill,
the railroad bill, and some conservation
and anti-injunetion legislation. But
even this program cannot be considered
out Of the woods as yet. Much of it is
exposed to the indifference Of the
leaders and to the active opposition of
other elements. This is especially true
of the railroad bill, which the Senate
insurgents look on as extreT -ly defec-
tive in many particulars, and which, as
to numerous details, they viii assail
fercely. Unless the bill is strengthened
in some of these particulars, L is easy
to see that it will have hare shedding
in both houses, and that, even if passed,
it is likely 10 prove of small political
advantage to those responsible for it.
The President and the leaders in
Congress have determined TO put
through the Administration railroad
bill about as it stands, accepting
amendments only from what they call
friendly sources. This Is a course of
doubtful benefit to the President. 1t
means, simply, that the Senate and
House leaders are bent on throwing on
the President the full responsibility for
the bill, and that if there is disappoint-
ment in the country as TO the workings
Of it, they VIII put the burden on the
White House and point to the fact they
simply did as the President insisted
The wise course as to the proposed
railroad legislation viii be 70 accept
meritorious amendments from what
ever source they come, and not throw
them aside because them emanate from
the insurgents.

The Anacostia Flats.

To the Editor o. The washington Times:
No measure Of greater importance TO
the city in many ways has been advo-
Gated than the improvement OF the
Anacost.a hats. wish 10 specify briefly
several reasons;
J. a condition OF health. This con-
Germs not only those living along the
Eastern Branch. but the entire popu-
latlon Of the District. and the adjacent
country. This needs no argument T.
Is self-evident 10 every careful observer.
. A matter Of beauty. The snags
and marshes along the Eastern Branch
ought 10 disappear, and the natural
beauty, which may and ought 20 char
acterize that portion Of the District
should be developed. The opportunity
for improvement seems TO have been
long deferred.
O. Matter Of justice and life. That
portion Of the community has long en-
dUred the lavish expenditures on other
parts OF the District. This unanimous
call for the Improvement OF the Ana
costa flats justihes the hope that some

long ago. If conditions abroad play
any part in the increased cost we would
have known of it before our consuls
had been ordered TO investigate.
We have been, and are, and viii con-
tinue to walk in a circle until there is
a determination 10 get at the bottom
of this matter at ali costs. There must
be reason for this increased cost of
living and that reason is not going to
be disclosed to the public if we are told
on every hand: The cause is not
here"
Perhaps the increased cost of living
is not local affair. 1t is more than
probable that it is not. Is it, then, the
tariff! If it is the tariff are we going
to know about it, and if it is the tariff
are we going to have relief
The friends of the existing tariff law
control the Senate investigating COM
mittee. Every one of the Republican
members supported the Payne-Aldrich
bill. Lodge and SmOot not only de-
Tended it, but fought for some of the
increases. Lodge has since made a
speech defending the new law.
The people of the United States will
continue TO speculate as to the cause of
the increased cost of living until they
give unmistakable signs of making
trouble. Present indications are that
we will continue to grope in the dark
until public opinion is aroused to a
point where it viii not countenance
further lodging, subterfuge, and total
absence OF real effort to put the blame
where it belongs.

SIGNIFICANCE FLOCAL FOOD
INQUIRY.

So far as we know Washington is
the first city in the United States to
conclude its investigation Of the in
creased cost of living. What has been
the RESULT We have drawn blank.
The investigating committee of the
Chamber of Commerce asserts that the
high prices are not due to local causes.
With the exception of that solitary
statement we are no wiser today than
we were when the investigation was
started.
We do not for a moment question the
integrity of the members of the inges-
tigating committee. We take it for
granted that with the evidence before
them they were forced to the con-
illusions which lave Just been made
public The report is significant, how
ever, in its bearing on similar investi-
cations which are being made through
out the country.
Suppose Boston decides that the in
creased cost of living is foreign to that
city; suppose, again, tHat New York,
Chicago, and other cities arrive at a
similar conclusion? This problem, real
and vital as it is to every household in
the country, is not going to be solved
by shifting responsibility here, there,
everywhere.
We must turn, then, from local in
vestigations to the investigation being
made by the Senate committee. That
committee, so far as can te learned,
will depend largely upon statistics
gathered by the various departments of
the Government. A considerable portion
of this data has been in existence for
some time. The committee also viii

LEGISLATIVE PROGRAM IS
NARROWED DOWN.

As the result of a long conference at
the White House, attended by the
President, Senators Aldrich and Crane,
Speaker Cannon. and Attorney General
Wic!,ersham, the legislative program
which viii now be sought at this ses-
sion Of Congress is again narrowed
down to some extent. The Administra-
ton and the Senate and House leaders
viii unite to get postal savings bank
legislation, a railroad bill, one or two
conservation bills, and probably an
anti-injunction bill The bill for new
form of government in Alaska is, dead
for this session, and likewise the ma
tional incorporation bill, unless a
radically new situation is brought
about by the Tobacco trust decision of
the Supreme Court. The statehood
bill, for the admission of Arizona and
New Mexico, is in a precarious situa-
ton, and may not be passed.
