UNIFORM HOURS.

Washington-An amendment to the
constitution which would give congress
the mower to make uniform the hours OF
labor throughout the United States has
been proposed in a resolution introduced
in the house by Representative Curley
of Massachusetts. 1t is contended by
the introducer that the difference in the
hours of labor in many states, varying
from ffty-four a week in Massachusetts
to sixty-six hours in the Southern states,
creates an unwarranted discrimination
in favor OF manufacturers in states
where long hours prevail

A little while after the ordeal

Once ease was the estate which

has by labor contributed to the

BILL AN AID TO FARMERS

VINO is now Senator from Cre-
gon, was making his campaign
through the orchard and farming
districts of that sta last fall he
kept his eyes open. AS result Of
his observations he has introduced
in the Senate bill which ought to
win the instant support nf every
farmer and every consumer in the
United States. The bill repeals
that hollow mockery On the statute
books known as the denatured al
cohol law and substitutes simple,
unhampered procedure by which
every farmer will be able to turn
his waste farm products into de-
natured alcohol, and thus show a
profit for what is now a total loss.
In one part Of Oregon, DR. Lane
saw an ovrrpIoductinn of potatoes.
Thousands of bushels of them were
left undu9 in the ground. In an
other part of the state there was
an over abundance Of apples. Not
oLlV the culls were going TO waste,
but great quantities of perfect ap-
Piles were rotting. Same time lat r
Or Lane was in California, and
there he saw the ground yellow
with aaSte oranges which had
been touched by the frost.
Dr. Lane RENE mhered that some
years ago there we're great predic-
tions of the prospe rity that was tu
follow the law which removed the
internal revenue tax from denatur-
ID alcohol. The exemption was to
give every farmer the opportunity
~ turn waste products into that
valuable commodity. 1t was to
make cheap fuel. light and power,
t[Sthus rebound to the benefit of
GTAsy consumer in the country
The doctor-statesman naturally
wondered why, when this bene-
cient law had been enacted for the
tanners the beneti Charles are max
ing no use of it. When he got into
Washington he began to investi-
gate, and he soon learned the rea-
son why.
He learned that two great inter-
ests are opposed to the cheap and
widespread manufacture of COM
mercial alcohol. Standard Oil
Co., which maintains the price of
gasoline and the great distilling in
erests, which manufacture all the
alcohol. He also learned that the
Aldrich dominated Senate had fill
Ell the law so full of jokers that
the whole act is a joker. a gigantic
hoax.
Theoretically, Senator Lane
learned, it costs a farmer not less
than 5000 for a denatured alcohol
plant which will comply with the
law and regulationr-theoreticslly,
that is. Practically a farmer cam
not buy a plant at any price, for
the very good reason that the man.
ufacturers of distilling machinery
will not sell to him for fear of Of
Tending the great distillinR inter-
ests.
Not only is the price prohibitive,
but the law makers saw to it that
the farmer must put up bond of
$4,000 before starting a plant, a
provision which makes the general
manufacture Of this product i'm
possible. Other provisions require
the use of expensive denaturing
materials: and otherwise the manu-
facture is hedged about by restric-
tions impossible for the farmer to
comply with
81 lator Lanes bill wipes out all
these restrictions with a sentence
and substitutes law which per-
mits q farmer without bond to
operate any sort of a dis'illing ap.
paratus, providing ooly that the
distillant must go through a met
or into sealed tank in which the
densturing liquid has first been
