IS FARM TRUST COMING?
Farmers must put business
into farming, or business men will
put farming into business"
This epigrammatic chunk of
philosophy is uttered by Burt
Hall of Chicago, secretary of the
Council of Grain Exchanges.
Here is just what he means:
The ratio of production to con-
sumption is steadily decreasing.
More and more, the farmer is
failing to meet the demand we
make upon him for the raw ma
terials of our food supply.
He can only meet the demand
by putting business into farm
ing" by which is meant the adop-
ton of the highest methods of
efficiency in every department.

up to the converting of the regular session

LEGATION of conditions in the various eN-
ecutive departments OF the government
is undertaken at this special session with
n view 10 reducing the number of sala-
rcd positions under the government, and
the total expenditures for administrative
purposes. the task would prove difficult
and almost endless.
No scientific study OF departmental con-
ditiOns has been made in the last quarter
of a century. except by the Keep COM

of which were carried out.
Can Make Reduction.
Besides. that was n Republican COM
mission, and the Democrats say it did
not seek unduly for opportunities to
abolish positions or reduce salaries found
to- be unduly high. Democratic leaders
are convinced that the expenditures for
departmental purposes can be reduced
rroportionately, just as the patronage
expenditures of the House have been cut
down. They anticipate that the Holman
amendment to the rules of the new
House, which will permit the Appropria-
tons Committee and the House itself to
legislate almost at will on appropria-
ton bills. where the object is retrench-
ment, will result in the abolition Of
many jobs and the reduction of more
salaries.
One significant feature of the general
legislative programme is the omission of
all reference to the Mexican situation
1t has been confidently predicted ever
since the last session adjourned that
this would be one of the subjects tackled

HARMONY SLOGAN
STIRS REPUBLICANS
Will Follow in Footsteps of
Successful Rivals.

All signs point to harmonious action
to-day by the Republicans of the House
of Representatives Spurred on by the
Democratic love feast of Saturday night,
the leaders of the two Republican fac
tons are anxious TO close up their diff
ferences, at least temporarily This
morning the so-called insurgents will
meet in conference" Tonight the reg
ular party caucus will be held. All the
regulars will be in attendance. The in
dications now are that most of the insur-
gents will be present.
Representative James r. Mann. of lilo
nois, will be chosen as the Republican
minority leader. There will be no real
opposition to him. Representative John
w. Weeks, Of Massachusetts, who had
something to do with the Eastern move
ment' started some time ago, will not
be candidate He made an announce
ment to this effeft last night.
The Eastern movement" so called,
was set in motion by members from
New England and the Middle Atlantic
States. Its object was to capture the
minority leadership for an Eastern men,
Der. IT soon became apparent that Ger
tain Western delegations, which had
gwen assurances that they would support
an Eastern candidate. were about to
swing to Representative Mann, so the
East gave up the ghost.
The chances are that Mr. Mann's name
will be the only one put in nomination
tonight for the Office of minority leader.
or all the regulars, he is the one most
acceptable to the insurgents. Although
Mr.. Mann has been a Cannon leader for
Jears. he is not Objectionable to the in
surgents.
Upon the selection of a minority leader
the Republicans will turn to the consid-
Grafton of a question that may stir up
trouble 1t is the matter of committee
assignments. The regulars have always
opposed the Committee on Committees
plan, and 1t does not look any better to
them since its adoption by the Demo-
Gratis For that reason they are disposed
TO intrust to the minority leader the duty
Of making the Republican committee as
signments. The insurgents will insist
Upon a recognition of the Committee on
Committees principle. Whatever the de-
cision of the insurgents, the regulars will
name Mr.. Mann as minority leader
Whether they will defeat the Committee
on Committees plan depends upon devel-
opments to-day.

SOCIALIST IN FAVOR
OF CITY OWNERSHIP

The. plan of action of Representative
Victor Berger of Wis, which it is ex-
pected will be announced to-day. is
watched with interest by politicians. Mr..
Berger is the only Socialist ever elected
to Congress.
In his political life in Milwaukee, Mr..
Berger opposed all of the prevailing
methods of governmental affairs. He be-
lieves in municipal ownership Of gas,
railroads and electric lights. He opposes
the contract method of making school re-
pairs and paving improvements, believes
in better lights in the streets, and ia
vors a government crematory for the
disposal of garbage.
Upon his arrival in Washington, with
his wife on Saturday, Mr.. Berger took
apartments at the Farragut for the ses-
sion. A conference with Louis Kopen-
lin, Washington correspondent for the
National Socialist press, was held yes
terday morning.

ADVERTISING TALKS.
WRITTEN BY WILLIAM {. FREEMAN

On April l, many years ago,
when | was a boy on the farm,
an uncle, who always liked to
tease me because l had a hot
temper, asked me to crawl under
a pile of lumber to hunt for
hens nests.
The lumber pile was near the
barn. 1t seemed a likely place
for hens nests. There were
hundreds of hens on the farm
and they had a habit of laying
eggs wherever they pleased.
l was fond of hunting hens
nests, so l crawled under the
lumber pile. l did not find any.
When l came out, nv uncle
laughed and said: APRIL
FOOLr | was angry instantly
and called him another kind of
a fool. Then he laughed harder
than ever.
That little incident in my life
made a great impression on me.
| don't like to be FOOLED.
I don't know of anybody else,
either, that likes to be fooled
do YOU?
This April day is a good time
to again call the attention of ad-

vertisers to the fact that nothing
makes people angrier than to
respond to an ADVERTISE
MENT THAT FOOLS THEM.
Don't put a few articles on
sale at reduced prices Just to at
tract attention and then when
YOU get customers in the store
say to them:
I'VE just sold the last article,
but we have something here just
as good
Reduction sales are all right
enough when they are honest
and when the quantities to be
sold are specified, but DON'T
TRY TO FOOL THE PEG
PIE They won't stand for it.
1t is not a question of morals
any more than it is a question
of good business-to put out

FACTS and then back up the
facts in the store.

them the truth than will buy al

O'GORMAN REACHES CITY.
Democratic Senator from New York
Center of Attraction.

James A. O'Gorman, Senator elect from
New York. arrived last night. He will
present himself in the Senate on Tues
day to take the oath of Office. Mr..
O'Gornan had no sooner reached his
apartments in the New Willard than he
was besieged by Democratic representa-
tives. among them Messrs. Littleton,
Sulzer. and Fitzgerald, of New York.
Shortly after Mr.. O'Gorman's arrival he
was informed that Gov. Harmon was in
the hotel The New Yorker expressed
desire to meet Gov. Harmon. The in
PRODUCTION was made by Representative
Sulzer. Immediately Messrs. Harmon.
OGorman, and Sulzer had little con-
ference in a corner of the palm room
of the willard. They were soon Joined
by Representatives Littleton and Fitz-
gerald: Ansberry, of Ohio, and Sherley,
of Kentucky.
The Democratic members of the New
York delegation will give a dinner in
honor of Senator OGorman Thursday
night. The invitation was extended to
Mr.. O'Gorman tonight by Representa-
tive Sulzer, who acted in behalf of his
colleagues.

perhaps not competent at present to fur
nish the details of better system, nor
to question the laying down of the laws
of the District by Congress: but he said
he was satisfied that government closer
tc the people could be worked out salts
fectorily.
Il have no bills in connection with
the District to introduce at present" said
Mr.. George. Il intend Is become ac-
quainted with my felIow-niembers first.
and then to look, listen, and learn. If
park extensions and general improve
mentS are to be made, I am in favor
of them, but I intend to raise my voice
against any proceeding in this line that
will play into the hands of private in
terestS and boom the real estate schemes
OF individuals unnecessarily. 1 have been
in Washington of late years only for
short periods, and 1 have seen nothing
of what is being done toward beautify-
ing the city. l believe that the develop
ment of the city should be taken up
with vigor. and 1 am in favor of con-
slant effort toward closing up the bare
spots and removing the eyesores."
Praises the Recall Idea.
Mr.. George twenty years ago sat in the
press galleries of the House and Senate
as a correspondent for his fathers week
ly paper, the Standard, and as an edi-
torial writer on the old Washington News.
He saw the influx of Democrats at the
beginning of Cleveland's second term, and
he also. witnessed the installation Of
Speaker Reed and the establishment of
the famous Reed rules. He has Travelled
throughout the country in recent years,
and has also served as a correspondent
abroad. In several of the Western COM
munities, which have been installing the
initiative, referendum. and recall as fea-
lures of State and city governments, he
has spent some time recently in lectur-
ing and gathering material for newspaper
articles. He told yesterday OF his ex-
perience at Seattle, where the mayor was
recalled by the people on the municipal
purity issue. and man installed in his
place who would. do the peoples bidding.
He spoke enthusiastically OF what he
as the success Of the system.
The Washington herald. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1906-1939, 1911-04-03

he continued. Il am inclined to believe
the form of government which is now in
force in Des Moines, Iowa, would suit the
needs of the National Capital, although
it might need some sort of a modification
to meet the fact that the large buildings
of the government are located here, and
Washington is the residence city of a
large number of national officials
Il am not prepared right now to say
just what these notifications should be.
but 1 am satisfied that the installation
of the Des Moines plan, with its full
privilege of initiative, referendum, and
recall. would meet the popular needs and
result in the eventual debut of Wash
ington as the greatest ard most beautiful
city in the world, which it is bound to
Lecome.''

George.

81 would not favor appointing any
body replied the Representative. THE
people should be given full elective power
in choosing the men who are to control
their government. 1t has been demon
ssrated elsewhere that the people can be
intrusted in controlling their own gov
ernment. Why not let the people of the
Capital Of the nation have voice in
their affairs also?''
Mr.. George went on to say that owing
to his limited observation of the govern
ment Of the District Of Columbia he was
