RUSSIA HAS WRONG VIEW
Wilson Has Not Declined to
Enter Into New Treaty
of Commerce.

LONDON, June pa st Petersburg
dispatch TO the Standard says that Presi-
dent Woodrow Wilson has declined Rus
sia's request for a renewal of the treaty
of commerce except on the absolute con-
dition that American Hebrews are al
lowed TO enter Russia freely.
State Department officials declared to-
day that any impression in ST Petersburg
that President Wilson had declined TO ne
gotiate new commercial treaty with
Russia unless il contained a passport pro-
vision for American Hebrews must have
been gained from diplomatic exchanges
in the closing days of the Taft admins
1ration.
1t was pointed out that the present ad-
miniStrauon has not lad any negotia-
tions with Russia. Diplomatists here un-
derstand the attitude of the Russian gov
ernment I, be that inasmuch as the
United States terminated the treaty of
1892. any Overtures for a new convention
must come from Washington
Officials here appear content to let rela
tions continue on their present basis
pointing out that the United States is do
ing business without embarrassment with
no less than twenty-three nations with
which there are treaties of trade and
commerce or at least no favored nation
clause.

Reads Proposed Rules.

Mr. Fitzgerald read several proposed
changes to House rules. all affecting ap-
preparation bills. ard explained them as
follows:
The effect of these amendments would
be TO concentrate in one committee all
questions of appropria tons and leave the
authorizations with legislative commit
tees to which such authority properly be-
longs. 1t would be the logical. scientific
and proper arrangement. The only thing
to be determined by the committee on ap-
propriations would be the respective sums
TO be appropriated for various services
and purposes within the limits of the au-
thoriZation fixed by law.
IF this method We're adopted the con-
SIderdtion of appropriation bills would
be considerably shortened in the House.
The various legislative committees of
the House have ample important 1egis-
1ation to occupy their abilities and their
time. and it would not lessen their i'm
portance nor minimize their influence
IF the appropriations We're not COM
nitted to them. Two of the most i'm
portant committees of the House-the
judiciary committee and the interstate
and foreign commerce committee-do
not have jurisdiction over the appro-
priations for the various important
services and departments with which
they are most closely identified vet the
duties of those committees have not
been insignificant nor the legislation en-
acted on their recommendation been un-
important IN TACT, those cOmm1t tteeS
have recommended most of the i'm
rortant legislation enacted for many
years.
Relief Held Necessary.
To insure. however. better oppor-
tunity for the consideration of leeis-
1ation and bills other than revenue and
appropriation bills the amendments
proposed by me would enable the COM
mittee of the whole House on the state
of the Union to close general debate
upon any bill after two hours have
been consumed therein and would re-
vitaliZe the morning hour. so that
every day except Mondays. Wednes-
days and Fridays, which are now set
apart for special business, there should
he at least one hour given to business
under the call of committees. Relief
of some character is necessary, and I
believe that with the elimination of
legislation from the appropriation bills
the changes here proposed would be
sufficient
Referring to the Sherley budget scheme,
Representative Fitzgerald dashed it to
the ground with a passing mention.
The only alternative he said, Ito
the plan here suggested that has been
proposed is contained in the resolution
offered in the last Congress by the gen.
tleman from Kentucky, Mr.. Sherley, to
create a committee on estimates and ex-
penditures, to consist of certain men,
bers of the WAYS and means and appro-
priationS and the chairman and one other
member of the committees having juris-
diction of the annual appropriation bills
This proposed committee Is to report the
available revenue for the next ensuing
year and to apportion to the respective
committees that part of the revenue that
may be distributed by it in the respec-
tive supply bills.
II do not favor such a committee, be-
cause I do not believe 1t either practical,
or that it can be effective In it's opera
tons"

How to Cut Down
Living Expenses

Any Grand Forks family can make
a big saving and also be much
healthier by eating the %deliciously ap.
petizing Minnesota" Spaghetti at
least twice each week in place Of
meat.
Minnesota" Spaghetti is four times
MS nutritious as beef-steak and yet
costs only about one cent a dish.
It contains more proteids than most
foods and is therefore o strength
giving and less %fattening.
1t is fine for children-makine their
bodies strong and healthy. And they
are very fond of its rich. nut.like
flavor.
Insist on getting the genuine Min
nesota" Spaghetti. made from the
VERY BEST DURUM wheat with

There will be no appropriation for

This action is taken on the ground
that there now are other forces at

not felt that the state has to spend
any more money on that proposition at
this time.
