WOULD LESSEN WORK
OF |. {. {. MEMBERS
Objection Found to Proposal for
Increasing Number, But No
Substitute Is Suggested.

The hardest worked body in Washing
ton is the Interstate Commerce Com
mission.
Legislators are racking their brains to
discover a feasible way to relieve mem-
bers of the commission of some of their
burdensome duties. Various plans for
enlarging the commission have been
proposed. Recently. bill was put in
to enlarge the commission to sixteen
members. to divide the country into five
districts. and to have three commission-
ers sit In hearings in each of these dis
tricts. But the Supreme Court always
has objected to enlargement, and lnem-
bers of it have said that, IL II were
troublesome for nine justices TO agree,
II was more troublesome for a larger
number to agree. Also it is extremely
hard now to find the right sort of men
for the commission. men whose prime
object Is to subserve the public interest,
while giving the railroads fair consid-
Grafton.
In the end, Congress must do one Of
two things: 1t must either enlarge the
commission or IL must increase the ap-
preparations for help.
All indications are that Congress is
going to proceed on the line of strength
ening the powers of the commisS op.
Inevitably. II it does this, it will in
crease the burden of hard work. AL
ready this independent bureau, respon-
sible not to the Executive but rather
to Congress- has duties on its hands
far more important than an executive
department These duties include such
things as physical valuation Of rail-
roads. investigations of great railroad
systems: consideration of the question
Of whether the railroads in eastern ter
ritory ought to have an increase Of
frelghtS, and many others.

HOUSE TALK FAV0RS
BIGGER NAVY POLICY
Congress Evidently viii Back
Up Wilson in Demand for
Two Warships.

In view of the action of the House
Committee on Naval Affairs in deciding
on d liberal program of naval construc-
ton for the coming fiscal year, practi-
cally no question now is entertained
that Congress will back up 4 plan which
will be substantially similar. At one
time, it looked as if the naval bill might
be held down to one battleship, and
some even thought there was prospect
that none would be appropriated for.
But the House Naval Committee has
decided on two dreadnaughts, which
will be equal to the most powerful the
navy is constructing; six destroyers.
and eight submarines. 1t is doubtful
whether advocates of a small navy can
cut this program down materially, and
il NAV even be increased to some eN-
tent, especially as regards auXiilarles,
for which there is serious need.
Ever since it became known that
President Wilson wanted two big bat
tleships authorized, the opponents or
such a program in the House have
found their work was uphill. The
naval holiday idea is getting a lot OF
Endorsement. as matter of theory, but
the majority of Congress is not yet
ready for it. especially with Mexico
seething and the nations foreign reia-
tons in a rather unhappy condition
So 1t looks as II the tNO-DdttleSihp
program will be approved by Congress
Moreover, it would not be surprising
if this proves to be for some years
to come the fixed policy of Congress.
The Democrats in the last Congress
departed from it and went to one bat
tleship. but found that it gained them
nothing politically.
Cne of the factors which is getting
more and more important in respect OF
naval building programs is the Pacific
coast That part of the country insists
it has been left without adequate pro-
eCtion and that the deficiency must be
made up.
This is illustrated in what occurred
with reference to the House committee
action en- submarines. The Navy De-
partment recommended Your. But the
Pacific coast insisted oD having more
submarines for the defense of its har-
bcrs and the result was the committee
not only voted for eight. but decided
that patr of them should be stationed on
the Pacific coast and at least three of
them built there. providing the cost
was no greater than the cost on the
Atlantic plus the cost Of transporta-
ton. The Pacific coast cities are in
sistirg that they be defended by lib
era! fleet of submarines If they cannot
have battleShipS.

By HARVEY w. WILEY.

The Supreme Court gave a body
blow to the drug section of the law
when it announced in the johnson
cancer case that the clause forbid
ding false and misleading statements
applied only to the constituents Of
the medicine and not to it's drug
properties. Congress at once pro-
ceeded to correct the fault pointed
out by enacting clause as an
amendment, bringing curative claims
into the scope Of the law.
1 sincerely hope that a similar ac-
ton will be taken in the case Of the
present decision. To permit the un-
restricted addition Of poisons TO
foods unless such can be proved
specifically injurious. paraiyzes that
section OF the law relating to harm
full adulterations. as completely as
the former decision paralyzed the
drug section.
Says Law Is Killed By Court.
In these two decisions the Supreme
Court has killed the food and drugs
law. Under the present decision a
man may add traces Of arsenic to
food with impunity. Strychnine and
other drugs of poisonous charac-
ter can also be thus added. The
fault, according to the Supreme
Court decision, consists In the phrase
(which may prove harmful TO
health" Tho people should call on
Congress Immediately to strike out
that phrase.
The Supreme Court is the highest
judicial body in the land. No appeal
except to Congress itself can be
taken from its decisions. II Congress
will repeal the above phrase. the
food law will be immensely stronger
than ever before.

Permanent School Fund.

Nermont's permanent school fund
now amounts to Si,l75,27l and. the
payment to towns OF the interest
upon it amounted to s99,l33 for the
biennial period, according to the an
nual report of the trustees, just pub
lished.
In view Of current discussions
about the common schools of Yer.
mont the trustees quote as follows
from former reports I'VE submit to
the wisdom of the Legislature the
great question of changing the ap.
plication OF tho annual income from
this sacred school fund to those
schools and in such towns OF the
State where il is most needed and
where it will best promote the edu.
cational opportunity of our youth
and reform our greatest educational
needs" They also quote while
university. academical and high
school education is to be fostered
and advanced, ii yet remains true
that the great majority of our youth
are limited in opportunity TO the
teachings of the common schools. The
purpose of our state government
should continue to be to make the
schools of the people as good as tho.
can be made"
The trustees urge the wisdom on
the part Of the towns OF paying
their unpaid obligation to the United
States Deposit Fund and on the pagi
of the State the wise policy of dis
charging its obligation to the Hunt
ington Fund as soon as practicable
They also urge serious consideration
Of the recommendation in the Report
of the Auditor of Accounts. 1913 Il
