AT NATIONAL CAPITAL
Paragraphs on Important Cov-

A NEW ELECTIVE SCHEME
Armor Plate, the Navy, Lobbies
and Free Sugar.

Washington, d. c., May 31.-
When George Washington wa.
president, and it didn't m natter yer,
much just or when things were
done, all went we'll with the date
OF inauguration, the time for the
meeting of Congress, and the hold
ing of elections on the first Tues.
day after the first Monday of Nov
ember. But now nearly hundred
million people have a finger in
some part OF the scheme of things,
and there is crying need for
many changes; nevertheless our
young government is so welded to
Its own customs that it is almost
impossible to break away from the
old-time order. Senator Works of
California, evidently feeling en-
couraged by the fact that the
constitution has been amended
twice within the past few weeks,
has tackled the problem of "terms
and elections" Through two bills
he has introduced he would change
election day from November to
August, and provide for annual
sessions of Congress from the first
Monday in October to the first
Monday in June. Congressman
would assume Office in October,
Immediately after election, and the
president and vice president would
take office in November.
Senator Ashurst of Arizona is
determinedly pushing his plan for
the government to establish its
own plant for the manufacture of
armor plate for our battleships.
and is backing up his bill appro-
prlating ST, 100000 for that pur-
pose, with all the data and argu-
ments he can find. 4
In an interview Congressman
Hayes of California, the ranking |
Republican member of the COM
nittee on banking and currency,
gives it as his opinion that "the
currency question should be treated
IS scientific and not a partisan
question. He likewise asserts
hat cit is to be hoped that the
Democrats will endeavor to bring
n a non.partisan bill, for it would
'e both unwise and dangerous to
leal with currency from a political
tandpoint."
President Wilson can not get
lsed to the way the lobbies work
n the national capital, and de-
lares that legislation is being
nterfered with. The answer of
ne accused is that they are not
obbyists, but representatives OF

The provinces OF Manitoba. Sas-

Even with a two hundred million

was only seventy-one million bushels.
1t IS a simple calculation to estimate
that IL four per cent. OF the available

what will forty-four per cent produce?
And then look at the immigration that
