Lodge would likely be defeated. fSo one believes that Representative Butler Ames. who is the only announced candidate for chance to break into the senate There is believed to be chance. however. that Mr. Ames may have following enough in the legislature to prevent the caucus selection of Mr Lodge. The greatest danger. how ever, to the Senator lies in the chance which admittedly exists that the democrats may control the next legislature on joint ballot
 While the republicans of Massa- chusetts have controlled the Iegisla- ture for many years by q safe mar gin, there are many districts in the state in each of which the party
 
 members of the legislature was less than 300 votes. The democratic hope for supremacy is based on expected changes in these districts where the republicans have control by very narrow margins. An oyerturn in one half of the districts where the re- publican majority always has been ,,fH .,sr sT. the democrats and with it the power to name a senator to succeed Mr. Lodge.
 The tariff is in part the cause os republican troubles in Massachusetts as 1t is in other states. It is to be assumed that Massachusetts is 2 protective tariff state and that the dissatisfaction is directed against the method rather than the princi pies. Many republicans are restiye and there is a feeling in places that there have been few signs O. prog ress to prove that the makers of the national platform were sincere in their promises.
 The republican leaders hope that the speech ot Colonel ROoseyeu will hold the insurgent republicans in line and also assist in reclaiming the independent and Tugwump vote and drawing it back into the republican fold by an appeal to partisan spirit.
 Roosevelt said there would be calamity if Senator Lodge should fail for reelection. He said the sen ator was a friend of progressive leg islation. There was no difference of opinion among the republicans as to the basic principles of protection as the party stood sotidly on a tarin commission plan, was another O. his statements.

Coal Lands.

"The next subject, and one most inn
portant for your consideration, is the
disposition of the coal lands in the
United States and Alaska. At the be-
ginning of this administration there
were withdrawn from entry for pur-
poses of classification 1887 900 acres
Since that time there have been with
drawn by my order from entry for
classification 7s.977,745 acres, making
a total withdrawal of 96,S44,745 acres.
Meantime of the acres thus with
drawn 1,061 $50 have been classified
and found not to contain coal and
have been restored to agricultural en-
try, and 4,726.Os1 acres have been
classified as coal lands; while 1893 ,239
acres remain withdrawn from entry
and await classification. In addition
1000 acres have been classified as
coal lands without prior withdrawal,
thus increasing the classified coal
lands to 10.429,372 acres.

disposal of coal lands In the United
States, the minimum price at which

Referring TO the report of the COM
missioner of corporations, the presi-
dent says:
The commissioner finds a condi-
ton in the ownership of the standing
timber Of the United States other
than the government timber that calls
for serious attention. The direct in
vestigation made by the commissioners
covered an area which contains so
per cent. of the privately-owned tim
Der of the country.
His report shows that one half Of
the timber in this area is owned by
200 individuals and corporations;
that IA per cent. is owned by these
corporations, and that there is very
extensive inter-ownership of stock,
as we'll as other circumstances, all
pointing to friendly relations among
those who own majority of this tim

TO a combination for the maintenance
of a price that would be very detri-

sizes which, but for their interposition,

Civil Service Commission.
1.-The civil service commission has
continued it's useful duties during the
year. The necessity for the mainte-
nance of the provisions of the civil
service law was never greater than to-
day. Officers responsible for the pol
icy of the administration, and their
immediate personal assistants or depu.
ties, should not be included within the
classified service, but in my judg.
ment, public opinion has advanced to
the point where it would support bill
providing a secure tenure during eff
cheney for all purely administrative
officials. / entertain the profound con.
viction that it would greatly aid the
cause Of efficient and economical gov
eminent and of better politics IL con-
gress could enact bill providing that
the executive shall have the power
TO include in the classified service all
local offices under the treasury depart
ment, the department of justice, the
postofiice department, the interior de-
partment and the department of COM
merce and labor, appointments to
which now require the confirmation
of the senate. and that upon such
classification the advice and consent
of the senate shall cease to be re-
quired in such appointments. BY

good service, and by their freedom

Economy and Efficiency.
THE increase in the activities and
in the annual expenditures of the fed
eral government has been so rapid
and so great that the time has come
to check the expansion of government
activities in new directions until we
have tested the economy and efficiency
with which the government of today is
being carried On. The responsibility
rests upon the head of the administra
ton. He is held accountable by the
public, and properly so. Despite the
unselfish and patriotic efforts of the
heads of departments and others
charged with responsibility of govern.
ment, there has grown up in this coun-
try conviction that the expenses Of
government are too great. The fun.
damental reason for the existence un.
detected of waste, duplication, and bad
curate information.
Il have requested the head of each
department to appoint committees on
economy and efficiency in order to Sc.
cure full cooperation in the movement
by the employees of the government
themselves.
Il urge the continuance of the ap-
preparation of 100000 requested for
the fiscal year 1912.
MY experience leads me to believe
that while government methods are
much criticized, the bad results-if we
do have bad results-are not due to a
lack of zeal or willingness on the part
of the civil servants"

interstate Commerce.

There has not been time to test the
benefit and utility of the amendments
to the interstate commerce law con-
tanned in the act approved June IS,
1910. The law as enacted did not con.
tain all the features which | recon-
mended. 1t did not specifically de-
nounce as unlawful the purchase by
one of two parallel and competing
roads of the stock of the other. Nor
did it subject to the restraining infiu-
ence of the Interstate Commerce COM
mission the power of corporations en-
gagged in operating interstate railroads
to issue new stock and bonds; nor did
ii authorize the making of temporary
agreements between railroads limited
to 80 days, fixing the same rates for
traffic between the same places.
II do not press the consideration of
any of these objects upon congress at
this session.
"The interstate commerce commits
sion has recommended appropriations
for the purpose of enabling it to enter
upon a valuation of all railroads. This
has always been within the jurisdic-
ton of the commission, but the requi-
site funds have been wanting. Stalls
tics to the value of each railroad would
be valuable for many purposes, espe-
cially IL we ultimately enact any linn
itations upon the power of the inter
state railroads to issue stocks and
bonds, as | hope we may.
For the protection of our own
people and the preservation of our
credit in foreign trade, | urge upon
congress the immediate enactment of
a law under which one who, in good
faith. advances money or credit upon
a bill of lading issued by a common
carrier upon an interstate or foreign
shipment can hold the carrier liable
for the value of The goods described
In the bill at the valuation specified
I'm the bill, at least to the extent of the
advances made in reliance upon Il.
Il further recommend that a punish
ment of fine and imprisonment be inn
posed upon railroad agents and ship
pers for fraud or misrepresentation In
connection with the issue Of bills of
lading issued upon interstate and for
eign shipments.
Except as above, L do not recon-
mend any amendment to the interstate
commerce law as 1t stands. | do not
now recommend any amendment to
the antitrust law. In other words. it
seeras to me that the existing legisla-
ton with reference to the regulation
of corporations and the restraint OF
their business has reached a point
where we can stop for a while and wit.

ATLANTA, Cav. H. Burwell
of Sparta, who is opposing John
Holder for the speakership of the
next house, was in Atlanta recently,
but didn't have much to say about
politics.
Mr.. Burwe1l was asked concern
ing his race for the speakership, but
was cautious in his utterances. He
did state that many of the new mem
bers refused to commit themselves
directly on the speakership now,
prefering to wait until they come to
Atlanta next June, indicating that
the fight for the plum would be
rather hot one. Mr.. Burwell
seemed hopeful that on the final
roundup he would have votes
enough to win him the place. Mr..
Holder on the other hand is work
ing hard to retain the leadership,
and is said has many promises of
support. 1t is expected that the Sc

lection of the speaker will bring on
pretty contest at the beginning of
the next session.
The race will serve largely to de-
termine the alignment Of the new
house. Mr.. Burwell has always
been warm supporter of Governor
Elect Smith, and the Smith follow
ing is expected to lineup behind
him to a considerable extent. Mr..
Holder on the other hand has not
been Smith advocate, and his
strength will come from the anti
Smith element in the house to a
great extent. At present this is the
alignment, although the senatorial
contest may change affairs consider
able by the time the legislature
meets.
II is conceded that Jno. M. Slaton,
who is strongly anti-Smith and op-
posed the governor-elect in all
three Of his campaigns, will be
elected president Of the senate.

NOW A WORLDS BEEF TRUST
AMERICAN PACKERS ARE IN
CONTROL OF ARGENTINA.
New Zealand the Only Competitor

WASHINGTON.-A world trust
in meats appears to be imminent,
according to reports received here
at the department of commerce and
labor. 1t had been supposed that
South America was a competition
against the United States in the
meat trade with Europe, but it now
seems that United States packers
have been investing their profits in
big ranches and packing houses in
Argentina, which is the largest ex-
porter of beef in the world, and,
next to New Zealand, the chief eX-
porter of mutton.
North American investments have
absorbed two of the leading pack
ing companies in Argentian, and
since the absorption one of these
concerns-the La Plata Cold Stor-
age Company-has' become the larg-
est of it's kind in the world. Ameri-
can managers. have been sent to Ar

1t seems that over in Randolph
county, where more than one Daw-
son automobilist has either been
shot at or made to stop while con-
fronting the business end of a pis-
toll, they are keeping up their old
habit of regulating the driving of
automobiles according to their own
notion. The Shellman Sun, in it's
current issue, says:
Mr.. Truett and DR.. Francis Mar
tin were driving along in an auto
mobile at a moderate speed Friday
evening about six o'clock when they
were met by two unknown men in
a buggy and fired upon once be-
cause of their failure to stop. The
former was driving and informs US
that he stopped within twelve
inches of the shot--or, rather, with
in twelve inches of where he was
when he heard the shot. This was
pardOnable, according to DR.. Martin.
At once the two gentlemen I'M
dertook to find out who the angered
parties were, but, although they
made a thorough investigation, no
suspicious could be substantiated.

REAL BED ROOMS IN CARS
Travel on Western Railroad at Night
to Be Made as Comfortable as
Staying at Home.

OMAHA, Neb.-Soon if you ride
on the trains of the Union Pacific
at night you will have an opportu-
nifty of tucking yourself in a real
bed instead of doubling yourself
ND like a jackknife and trying to get
some rest in the berth Of q sleep
ms car.
The railroad boudoirs are for the
Overland Limited and the Los An
geIeg Limited, both OF which run
from Chicago to the Pacific Coast.
The sleeping cars on these trains
will be equipped with real brass
beds. dressers, chairs, mirrors and
all of the COnveniences OF home,
and the cost is not to be much more
than now charged for a section III
q first class sleeper.
Discussing the innovation, UE-
ion Pacific officials said:
while everything is done to
make the berths as comfortable as
possible everyone knows that 1t
cannot be made to compare with a
real bed when it comes to comfort.
No person knows just when man
first acquired the sleeping hablt,
but the railroad will have to plead
guilty to the fact that they hrst
made him sleep in cupboard.
The new sleeping cars, the plans
for which are being worked out at
the shops in this city, will be dlVld-
ed into rooms, separated by lght
but substantial partitions. Each
room will be almost as private as
an apartment at home and will be
eqipped and furnished in an up-to-
date manner.
The furnishings will be construct
ed so that if desired during the
day or when not in use, they can be
folded into the wall Of the car. This
will give the sleeping room the ap-
pearance of a parlor during the
day.
1t is said that the demand for
the proposed style of sleeping car is
so great that the Union Pacific will
make money out Of the cars from
the start.

Uruguay Invaded.

One American company which is
a part Of the beef trust has es-
tablished large plants in Uruguay,
where it owns $4,000 acres and
leases Psi. 900 acres in addition for
raising cattle. The American beef
trust now has seven large compa-

frozen quarters of beef for the year
was 1,480,000 pounds and of NUT
ton 2,611,000 pounds Most of this
meat went to Great Britain.
Notwithstanding the recent an

was coming down it is the belief of
the experts employed by the depart

the price will increase rather than
decrease.
