The citizen. (Frederick City, Md.) 1895-1923, 1910-07-08
Public Plucked for Party's Good.

The record in detail of the bills and
resolutions introduced and acted upon at
the late session of Congress is surpris-
ing one. 1t has just been figured out by
Tally Clerk Winthrop Jones, ofthe House.
Perhaps the most surprising and signifi-
cant feature of it is the fact that no less
than 6I4o private pension bills were
passed, the largest number ever put
through at any session. If the annual
value of each of these pensions is placed
at the low figure of $Ioo, this means an
addition of 1914, 600 to the annual pension
burden. of the country.
The explanation of the phenomenon is
the approach Of general election and
the desperate straits of the Republican
party. Every pension bill that had even
half leg OF apparent merit to stand upon
was hustled through in the hope of max
ing a Republican vote or two.
The total number of bills and resolu-
tons introduced and ran up to the unpre-
cedented total of 28, Cog, Of which 27, 267
were public and private bills, and the
remainder joint, concurrent and simple
resolutions. Reports from committees
were made on 6T4 public bills and on 68S
private bills and resolutions other than
pension bills. The number Of public laws
enacted was 324, which included the ON
nibus bridge bill, the omnibus dam bill,
the omnibus lighthouse bill, the omnibus
Indian bill and the omnibus claims bill.
The private pension bills were Jumped
into 81 omnibus House bills, containing
452A items, and zz omnibus Senate bills,
contain ng 1916 items. The total number
of bills passed by the House was oos.
Under the new rule, there were 36
motions filed with the clerk of the House
TO discharge committees from further con-
sideration Of various bills which had been
referred to committees and not reported
by them. These notices will take effect
Immediately on the reassembling of Con-
gress in December and thus the short
session is likely TO start with several lively
scraps.

To Increase Production.

There has been introduced into Con-
gress by the Hon. John G.. McHenry, of
Pennsylvania, bill which, if enacted into
law, should do very great deal to rem
der our Department Of Agriculture a
much more useful and practical part Of
the government.
The bill proposes that the Department
of Agriculture, which employs large
number Of agricultural experts and can
succeed in securing as many more as il
needs, shall appoint an expert on agricul-
ture in every Congressional district Of the
country where 80 per cent OF more Of the
population is engaged in agricultural pury
suits. 1t is proposed that these govern
mental experts shall pay particular atten-
ton to the needs of agriculture in the
district TO which they are assigned; shall
make expert examination of the soil, find
out what are the best crops suitable to
that particular locality, and in every way
advise the farmer, SO that he shall be able
to bring his land to its fullest productive
capacity.
In view of the fact that the Reclama-
ton Service Of the government, although
but a few years old, has been able to turn
thousands of acres of sandy desert into
productive land, and that 1t is largely
through governmental enterprise that the
vast irrigation projects have been estab-
lished there is little doubt that such a
provision as that proposed by Congress
man McHenry would be of immense
benefit to the nation. II is estimated that
the proposed plan of furnishing experts
will probably cost about 500, 900 year,
but this is small sum compared with the
enormous benefits that will certainly
accrue.
There is hardly State in the Union
particularly is this true of the New Eng
land States-where there are not thou
sands oil acres of abandoned farms; aban-
doned simply because those who owned
them farmed them so wastefully that they
can no longer be worked at profit. All
that is needed for these abandoned farms
Is modern and up todste knowledge of
agricultural methods. There is no doubt
that Under the advice and inspiration of
agricultural experts many of these aban-
doned farms can be brought back into
use. And anything that will increase the
productiveness of our country is sure to
prove more or less check to the era Of
high prices under which, at present, we
suffer The Amehcan farmer who has
been blessed with fertile soil and favor
able conditions, and who finds that the
old system of farming will no longer pay,
must be taught that since the days of his
farmer-father new methods have come
into vogue; that science has come to his
aid; that farming is an intellectual quite
as much as physical science, and if once
he were shown the best methods, so that
each farm could be brought up to its
fullest capacity, we should hear mighty
little talk Of hard times. WASHINGTON

Turkey Supper Before Dspreda-

Saturday evening the Delta Phi Beta
Sororiety of the Agricultural college
entertained the Alpha Mu fraternity
with four course turkey dinner and
at cards in the dining room Of the old
dormitory.
The room was very prettily decor
ated in the sororiety colors, and the
thirty or more that enjoyed the party
did not start for their home until near
midnight. Both fraternities, of course,
had their pledges present and they
furnished good portion of the even
ing's amusement.
At this time OF the year the old DOR
mitory happens to be well populated
with boys, and as usual when the un.
invited boy happens to be near a par

Nothing disappeared until after the
dinner, however but when the window

ers did not stop with the extra turkey.

CLOSING UP SWINDLERS|
One Of the Big Things Of the Taft
Administration is Protection
Of the Public.

One great service which is being
| rendered to the country during the ad-
ministration Of President Taft lis in
the warfare which the postal authors
ties have been waging for many
months past on the "get-rich- quick"
concerns which have been fattening on
the savings of hundreds of thousands
OF thrifty people all over the country.
Postmaster General Hitchcock esti-
mates that during the past FIVE years
the public has been fleeced out of the
enormous sum of 100000 by
swindling promoters OF fake corpora
tions, which is certainly sufficient war
rant for the present activity Of his de-
partment in endeavoring to put such
concerns out of business. He believes
that the work already accomplished
has resulted in putting a crimp in
the industry, and il 1t is carried on
consistently in the future they will
be forced out of existence.
There can be little question that the
care with which the government of
France protects its people against
fraudulent corporations is one OF the
minor contributing causes of the uni
versal thrift among the French people

lost their first savings through being
inveigled by glittering advertisements
to invest in corporations promoted by
swindlers have been discouraged
thereby and given up all attempts to
save money
The only manner in which the fed
eral government can reach the swind-
les is through the operation of the
postal laws, which forbid the use of
the mails for purposes of fraud. Even
with this inadequate weapon, and
without much aid or cooperation
from local authorities, the government
IS putting out of business some Of the |
worst swindlers. A great aid to the
protection OF the public from such
concerns will come through the |
amendment of the loose corporation |
laws of many of the states, Washing |
ton among the number, which lend
every facility to swindlers and are en-
Lrely without pretense of protection
TO investors or others doing business
with corporations.

Probably no problem of Child Gull
