ASKS 306,O00,OOO MAIL
FUND FROM CONGRESS
Big Estimate for Military Forces Mada
to Law Makers by the War
Department.

Washington, Nov. 29.-An approprl
alton of 1906. 900 for the postal
service for the next fiscal year has
been submitted to congress by Post
master General Burleson. This sum, il
granted viii be the greatest allowed
for this service in a single appropri
alton measure.
The estimates contemplate a sub
stantial extension of the parcel post
service, which is credited with a large
part of the surplus Of $4,500,0O0
earned by the postal service for the
fiscal year just closed.
Representative Madden of Illinois
introduced a bill providing that the
salaries of assistant postmasters and
employees above the clerical grades in
first and second class post offices
shall be based on the gross receipts of
their offices. Assistant postmasters
in offices where the gross receipts are
less than $4,000 a year would get
so per cent. of the postmaster's sal
airy. Where the receipts are over
$4,000 the salaries would vary in &C.
cordance with a schedule prepared by
Mr.. Madden.
One-cent postage promises to be one
of the live issues to be fought out
in the regular session of congress. No
fewer than a dozen bills on the sub
ject already have been introduced,
and it is said about half of these pro-
vide for penny postage outright.
Record-breaking estimates for army
appropriations were laid before con-
gress by the war department. Secre-
tary Garrison transmitted to the house
his estimates for the military estab-
lishment during the next fiscal year,
aggregating $1O6,OO0,O0O, which is
roundly $l0,0O0,000 more than the fig
ures submitted a year ago for the
army bill.
Secretary Houston wants $4,000
600 appropriated for the agricultural
work of the government. His esti-
mates will be submitted to congress
this week.

MONROE DOCTRINE

HOLDS IDEALS IN COMMON
Lord High Chancellor of Great Britain
Says His Nation Expects America
to Maintain Traditions With
out Seeking Conquest.

London. Nov. 29-Ihe IhankSgIV-
ing dinner of the American society
here Thursday was noteworthy be
cause Of the announcement Of the
British governments Endorsement OF
tie Monroe doctrine by Viscount Hal
dane, lord high chancellor.
Three hundred and fifty American
men and women, with a large number
of British guests, were present, and
they repeatedly cheered Lord Hal
danes words.
Robert n. Fairbanks, president of
the society, proposed the king" and
Lord Haldane proposed the president
of the United States"
4 recently made visit to the Uni
ted States" Lord Haldane said, and
came back not only with vivid rec
objection of the cordial welcome l re-
ceiyed, but with a deep sense of the
high ideals the British and American
nations held in common-the high
ideals of citizenship of the two coun-
tries.
Before he became president, Wood
row Wilson was thinking man and a
moralist. In studying his career ]
cannot fail to be impressed by his de.
tached character. and find that he has
not ceased to be a thinker and a NOR.
alist because he has become the hold
er of a great office.
Speaking CT the Monroe doctrine, he
said that The United States considered
nj
the small nations of that hemisphere,
He could see what was in the mind of
the president of that time, that the re,
sponsibility rested with the United
States to secure good government and
fair treatment for those countries.
Lord Haldane interpreted President
Wilson's policy to mean that the Uni
ted States was ready to accept the re-
sponsibility of !nsuring good terms it
self in those countries and to those
who went there, and that the United
States should set up high ideals of
policy, of justice and of righteous
ness.
I am not sure that anyone should
speculate upon the Interpretation of
that policy" continued the high chan
cellor, but I have thought myself at
liberty to say what l have. 1t is true,
indeed, that high spirit and high
aim have been brought into the policy
of the United States in its dealings
with the adjacent countries, and it is
because the president has taken the
attitude he has-a step which none can
but admire, whatever it's consequences
may be-that I propose good health to
Mr.. Woodrow Wilson, the president,
and Mr.. Woodrow Wilson, the man"

M'REYNOLDS BEGINS BIG
WAR ON THE FOOD TRUST
Seeks to Learn Cause of Hiqh Prices
of Eggs-Prosecutions May
Follow

Washington, Nov. 25.-The admin
istration's first attack on the food
trust was taken when Attorney Gen
era1 McReynolds issued orders for a
countrywide investigation of the cold
storage combine which is believed to
be responsible for the present high
price of eggs.
In addition, several bills are before
congress, and early action regulating
the cold-storage combine is expected.
The investigation ordered by Attor-
ney General McReynolds will extend
into every judicial district where
there are federal officials. They are
to get complete figures ard all the
other evidence obtainable bearing on
the charge that cold-storage men are
Withholding eggs and other food prod
ucts from the market in an effort to
raise and sustain prices.
The Investigators will report on the
number Of eggs in storage, the price
at which they went in storage, the
length of time stored, and the price
at which they were sold when taken
out. They will ascertain also approx
mately the number of eggs produced
in their respective districts.
If the investigation of the depart
ment sustains the evidence already
brought to the attention of the attor-
ney general he will bring prosecutions
both under the pure-food law and the
antitrust act. Dealers selling eggs
out of storage for fresh eggs can be
reached under the pure-food act for al
legged misbranding

COOPERATION IN
DAIRY MARKETING
DEVELOPMENT OF PLAN CONSID,
Erred BY STATE BOARD OF
PUBLIC AFFAIRS.
WOULD FIX HIGH STANDARD
Successful Methods of Farmers in
Holland ard Denmark to Be
Urged as an Object
Lesson.

Madison. of q plan
for cooperative marketing OF dairy
products was considered by the state
board of public affairs at a meeting
in the office Of Gov. McGovern. The
meeting was attended by prominent
dairymen from all over the state.
The aim is to devise a plan for the
marketing of butter and cheese that
will be an Improvement upon the
present system and the branding of
products with a view to establishing
a standard of excellence is main
idea
During the summer Dr. Charles Nc
earthly and NJ. S. Dudgeon, represent
ing the state board of public affairs,
went to Europe and made study of
cooperative marketing, particularly
in Denmark, Sweden, Holland and Ire
land. They report that in Holland,
While the producers are constantly
striving to reduce the cost of produc-
ton their greatest effort lies in provid-
ing the market with the finest grade
OF goods, a system of inspection re-
sultlng IN perfect standard In Den
mark practically all the butter is made
under the "lur' brand, which is care
fully guarded by the government. A
consumer in England knows that he
can get 1000 firkins of "Iur" brand
butter from Denmark at any time and
that 1t is absolutely guaranteed to be
what 1t pretends to be.
A cooperative plan, such as is in
operation in Denmark and Holland
and Ireland, modified to meet condi-
tons in this country, may be estab-
llshed here at once The dairy and
food commission has its standards of
purity and butter scoring contests are
held under the supervision of the uni
Versity. 1t would be an easy matter
to establish a standard both for
cheese and for butter and by the adop-
ton of a brand for the various pro-
ducts demand could be created for
them that would result in the elm
1nation of all profits arising between
the farmer and the home where the
product is to be consumed. 1t is held
that inspection is the essential thing.
The Sheboygan county cheese manu-
tacturers already have an organiza-
ton and system of inspection that
Is said to be very successful and ad-
Vocates of the plan hold that the She
boygan county idea should be enlarg-
ed and made to cover the whole state.
