SENATE PASSES
FARM MEASURE
AMENDED HOUSE BILL CARRIED
WITHOUT DISSENTING VOTE
FOR AGRICULTURAL AID.
STATE TO GET $4,000
REFUSES TO REQUIRE THAT COL
LEGES FOR NEGROES BE
GIVEN EQUAL BENEFITS.

Western Newspaper Union News Service.
Washington.-The House agricultu
raj extension bill passed the Senate
with amendments without dissenting
vote.
The bill provides for demonstrations
on the farm of approved methods and
scientific discoveries as to farming
and home economics made in the
state agricultural colleges, expert
mental stations and in the federal de-
partment of agriculture.
The secretary of agriculture and
land grant agricultural colleges are 10
outline plans for carrying out the dem
onstrations.
AS agreed to in the Senate the bill
will appropriate Internationally $l0,-
900 annually to each state. In addi-
tion a sum of 100000 for the coming
year, with yearly increase of S6OO'-
900 for the next seven years Will be
provided for distribution among the
states on a basis of rural population,
conditioned on each state appropriat-
ing a sum equal to its portion OF the
federal funds.
After seven years the bill will pro-
vide permanent appropriation OF S4'-
100000 annually.
An amendment requiring that negro
colleges be permitted to share in the
fund was defeated by vote of S2 to
28. The bill was amended, however, as
a result of fight on the race ques-
ton by placing the distribution of the
funds in the hands of the secretary OF
agriculture and respective state gov
ernors in states having more than one
agricultural college and also specifying
against race discrimination in the
demonstration work on the farms.
The bill probably will be considered
shortly in conference between the two
houses.

Express Companies Announce Reduc.
tions of From 20 to 27 Per Cent

Denver. - To offset the inroads
which the parcel post has made into
the privately owned express service,
the American, Wells Fargo. Globe.
Adams and subsidiary concerns in the
same business of package transporta-
ton have put into effect new sched-
ule of rates with which they hope
to compete with the government.
Reduction all along the line of from
20 to 27 per cent on long hauls" to
lesser amounts on the short hauls"
are announced, and in pamphlet ad-
dressed to patrons general informa-
ton on the subject is given. The
pamphlet issued from the Denver Of
flee of the American Express Company
gives list of representative cities in
every section in the United States
showing the present or old rates on
merchandise matter per 100 pounds
between Denver and the cities named.
and the new first-class express rates
effective Feb. 1. In addition ma
terial reduction is also made In the
graduated charge on packages weigh
ing from one to 100 pounds.
Under the new order Of things the
United States is divided into five
zones which are as follows:
Zone No. ALI of the eastern sec
tion of the United States north OF the
Ohio river.
Zone No. 2-Southwestern part OF
the United States south of the Ohio
and east of the Mississippi river.
Zone No. 3-Central states west of
the Mississippito the eastern boundary
of Colorado.
Zone No. 4-Intermountain section
which includes New Mexico, Arizona,
Utah, Colorado, Wyoming, Idaho, Mon
tana and Nevada.
ZoneNo. 5-Pacific coast states. Ore
gon, California and Washington.
The United States is then divided
into blocks beginning at the extreme
northwestern corner, which will be
known as block No. 101, and running
to the extreme northeastern corner.
The next set of blocks begins at the
47th parallel and the 125th meridian
and extends east.
In some sections it was decided that
the rates should be regulated on ac-
feasibility to the region, population,
etc. For instance: Zone is the high
est because of the mountainous sec
tion, railroad facilities and long hauls.
Under the old system rates We're
fixed on the class of merchandise and
there were many classes. Under the
new rule there are but three classes
first, second and third.
Glass No. takes in merchandise OF
the higher quality. including luxuries.
Glass No. 2 is for food and drink
(save candy and liquor, these being
considered luxuries). These are in
most instances rs per cent of the new
first-class rates.
Glass No. is for printed matter.
seeds, bulbs, etc, and these go at
ounce rates ranging from one-half cent
minimum to Is cents maximum.
Following are few of the rates
from Denver for comparison with the
old rates and the new. per 100 pounds:
