COTTON AND GRAIN IN
US. INSPECTION BILL
House Committee Will Also Re-
port an Anti-Gambling
Measure.

WASHINGTON, April "A bill providing
for Federal grading and inspection of
cotton and grain soon will be reported
to the House by the Committee on Agri-
culture.
After action OF this measure IT is
understood that the committee will re-
port another bill prohibiting gambling
on exchanges In cotton, grain and other
products of the farm.
Announcement was made to-day by
Chairman Lever Of the House committee
that hearings on the cotton bill will be
begun before the committee on April 90
and will continue four days. ON April
~ the committee will begin hearings on
the grain grading bin
1t Is understood that an agreement
has been reached by the Northern and
Southern members to combine the grain
and cotton bills. They believe that an
inspection bill covering both products
would insure action at this session.
A cotton bill was passed by the Senate
last week a bill providing for Federal
grading and inspection of grain is pend
ing In the Senate. II is believed that
this measure will be passed within the
next week or two.
In a statement made public to-day.
Chairman Lever said the action OF the
New York Cotton Exchange In agreeing
to change its contract so that in the
future such trades would be based on
Government types Of grades and settled
through commercial rather than fixed
differences would not deter the committee
from recommending legislation.

any action being taken in protest against
the location of the regional reserve banks

While he does not by any means APP
prove the selections, he declared to-day

that every banker and business man

so many that one can hardly escape the
conclusion that the committee was guided

than the single one of making the very
best choice for the general benefit OF
the banking and business interests Of
the country.

WILSON WOULD STOP ATTACKS
IN CONGRESS ON RAILROADS
His Insistencp in Daniels Case
Regarded as Favorable
to Carriers.

WAsHiNGToN, April 4.---Federal officials
awoke today to realiza ton OF the
fact that the confirmation by the Senate
Of the nomination of Prof. winthrop VI.
Daniels for Interstate Commerce Com
missioner is highly significant for the
railroads OF the country
The forcing by the President OF this
nomination through the Senate indicates
more clearly than anything that has yet
happened President Wilson's attitude
toward the carriers.
1t Is interpreted as rejecting his, frm
conviction that the time has come when
there should be a let up In Congress on
the attacks upon the railroads of the
country.
The Presidents insistence also indicates
very liberal tendency on his part toward
the gigantic task which the Interstate
Commerce Commission has undertaken In
making physical valuation of all the
railroads in the country
Mr.. WILSON, In insisting upon the con-
nrmatlon OF the Daniels nomination told
the Senators that he was perfectly familiar
with the official acts Of Prof. Daniels as a
member OF the New Jersey Public Utilities
Commission and was convinced Of his
fairness and competency.
II was this willingness on the Presi-
billy for Prof Daniels that led many
Democratic Senators who were opposed to
his confirmation to reverse themselves and
finally vote In favor OF the Princeton man.
The Presidents acceptance Of Prof.
Daniels and the latter's acts as a member
OF the New Jersey Public Utilities Com
mission makes the professors record
doubly interesting az suggesting the views
toward which President Wilson himself
apparently is leaning on the big question
of the physical valuation of the inter-
state carriers.
The case, on which the opposition In
the Senate to Prof. Daniels was based.
related to an order Issued by him more
than year ago relating to tho Passaic
Gas Company.
In this case Il became necessary to
make a valuation of the property Of the
gas company az basis for passing on
the onableness OF the charge made
TO the public for service.
Prof. Daniels added to the actual value
of the physical properties OF the COM
pany 47.6 per cent for intangible values

This included good will, going business
and other so-caled Intangible assets.
These are the things which Senator La
Toilette and men of his school insist
never should he included In n physical

Almost the entire opposition to Prof.
Daniels was based on the charge that
he would he inclined to apply such a
method of valuation to the railroads of
the country in the proceedings now under
way by the Interstate Commerce Com
mission.
The Presidents strong stand in sup
port OF Prof. Daniels. even after Demo-
cratic leaders had asked him to withdraw
the name. has been accepted here also as
further ENCOURAGEMENT to the railroads In
their application for a per cent. ncreas So
in freight rates.
The Presidents deep concern over the
railroad situation has been apparent re-
peatedly ana the belief in Washington In
that one of MS purposes in insisting upon
the Daniels nomination was to emphasize
the disposition of the Administration to
be liberal toward the carriers and to dis
courage indisCrininate attacks.
