The original house bill appropriated
the maximum sum of approximately
$3,5O0,000 for the establishment OF
extension departments in the State
agricultural colleges through which
instruction in agriculture and home
economics would be carried into the
homes Of the farmers. The Page
bill would establish courses OF IN

various public schools OF secondary

tors Page and Hoke Smith became In
yolved in a sharp controversy during
the debate, Senator Page intimating
that Senator Smith had given assur-
ances that he would support Senator
Pages bill in revised form. This Sen
ator Smith denied. Senator Page final
ly withdrew an amended form or mis-
bill, which included practically all OF
the house bill, and the senate then
adopted the original Page bill. 1t Is

Washington, January 29: With
the election Of Willard Salisbury as
United States senator from Delaware
the Democratic strength in the next
senate swung from the precarious t1g-
ure of 4S or eactly one-half the SEN
ate to the total of 49, a majority OF
two. Mr. Saulsbury's election, added
to the victory recently secured in Ten
nessee, assures the Democratic party
absolute control Of the senate after
March 4. The vote Of Vice President
Marshall would have been the de-
Gliding factor in any event, but the ad-
dition of another Democratic vote to
the column gives the party leaders
what they believe to be safe margin
for tariff and legislative action. Con-
tests still exist in the legislatures OF
New Hampshire, West Virginia and
Illinois, with a total of four senators
to be elected, about whose political
affiliations doubt now exists. A victory
in any one of these states would 81
materially strengthen the Democratic
party that the senate would be COM
pletely removed from the element OF
uncertainty. The attitude OF the Pro-
gressives and the Progressive Repuo-
licans upon tariff matters Is as yet
unknown, but the margin Of strength
promised to the Democrats makes II
unnecessary, 1t is believed, to count
upon any combinations with the Pro-
gressives. OF the entire membership
of Sc senators, So will hold over be-
yond March 4. OF these 80 are Re-
publicans and 81 Democrats. The
terms Of 32 senators expire in March
and there Is in addition, one vacancy
in Illinois. Thus far II Democratic
senators have been elected and the
election Of Senator Bacon in Georgia,
is certain, making Is Democrats to
take the oath of office March 4. The
opposition forces, including both the
Republicans and the Progressives,
have elected IL new senators. The
senate after March 4, will stand as
follows, If the deadlocks are not brok-
en- in Illinois, New Hampshire and
West Virginia: Democrats 40: Re-
publicans and Progressives 43; va

On February first the new system
of paying it's bills by checks instead
Of by subtreasury notes, will be put
into effect by the government. Also
according to the new rule, all the in
come of the government will be re-
ceived by the banks in the form OF
checks. The payments of the govern
ment will be made by checks drawn
by disbursing officers on the treasury
Of the United States, payable at any
national bank depository and charged
to the treasury. 1t Is calculated that
the new system will take away from
New York about one billion dollars
annually, and disburse 1t among the
