The Cons titution

Previous to 1913, attempts had been
made to form constitution, but not
until that year did the national assem-
bly, appoint a committee to draft per-
manent instrument. A number of ele-
ments entered into the task and the
new one was approved May l, 1914. 1t
is now in effect and clothes the presi
dent with extensive powers. The pres
ent president is Yuan Shi-Kai and in
his time he has won supreme power.
He is substantially an autocrat.

Foreign Relations

During the past three years China 3
hold upon Mongolia and Thibet has
weakened. Russia and Great Britain
have claims upon those countries and
this has greatly increased China's in

by discussing outside influences, the
new educational system, the financial
condition; the currency question, the
suppression of the use of opium, the
racial vitality, the natural resources,
the growth of patriotism and other
phases of that interesting land. He
said it behooves US, in America, both as
a moral duty and as point of self-in-
terest to give them every assistance
that lies within our power.

for the consideration of general
legislation than those from other
sections of the country.
The record for punctual attend
ance to their duties in Washington,
on the part of some of the delega-
tions from the older states is far
from creditable. Many of the rep
resentatives have been in attendance
less than a month during the last
session of congress extending over
period of seven months. Their
correspondence is attended to by
their clerical force, as only matters
of minor Importance require atten.
ton while the member is absent.

gress, who is not inclined to exert
himself and who does not take ar
active interest in public questions

bers from the western states arr
required to give their constant at
tention to business because of tn
immense correspondence which they
receive and the need of personal at

CONGRESSMEN WHO
HAVE EASY TIMES

Washington, D. c., Dec. 30.-Im-
mediately on the adjournment of
congress on Tuesdsy, the 23rd until
Jan. 18th, nearly all of the repre-
sentatives and senator's in congress
east of the Rocky Mountain states
left fot their homes, to remain until
congress reconvenes.
The Idaho delegation will remain
at their post of duty, and will, be-
cause of the many important mat
ters pending in the departments,
be practically as busy as when con-
gress is in session.
1t is interesting to note that the
duties of the representatives in con-
gress vary according TO location.
In the newer states, the majority of
letters received by the members
pertain to public lands, homesteads,
and matters pertaining to irrigation,
Indian affairs, forest reserves. rights
of way, etc. The senator's and rep
resentatives from the older states
receive no letters on these subjects,
as these questions have long since
been disposed Of As a result, the
delegations from the public land
states are required to do great

POTATO PRODUCTS
ARE GREAT ASSET
tCopyriKhLl

Washington, Dec. 26. The nee
essity from time to time of protect
ing the American potato industry
against the introduction of diseases
from foreign countries by quaran-
tine regulations places upon the ma
ton the responsibility of producing
its own future supply. This means
that the country must continually
produce more potatoes than it
needs for home consumption. The
profitable utilization of the surplus
so produced is of vital Importance
to the success of the industry, as is
pointed out in department Of agri-
culture bulletin No. AZ just issued.
This bulletin calls the attention of
the American growers to the fact
that thief may obtain valuable les
sons from Germany, whose potato
acreage is more than double that of
this country and the crop harvested
more than four times our total.
The great problem in this country
is how surplus of potatoes might
best be disposed of once the pro-
duction has been increased and on
looking to Germany it is found that
their surplus potato crop is used as
stock food, for making starch, for
the manufacture of alcohol and for
drying. In Germany the potato
drying industry is the last develop
ment in the utilization of surplus
potatoes, and in one year recently
over $4,000, 900 bushels were dried
in factories. This industry should
particularly merit the consideration
of the American people. Dried po-
tatoes have been fed with complete
success as a substitute for corn, not
only to cattle, but to horses as we'll.
To make potato drying a profit
able industry one of the problems
to be met would be the expense of
picking up and delivering to the
factory of culls and other potatoes
not marketable for table purposes.
This is because of the present cost
of labor. In many cases, however,
labor is already used to remove
these culis from the field to prevent
the spread of potato diseases.
In Germany the industry has
proved such satisfactory solution
for taking care of the entire surplus
crop that German farmers now
seek to plant maximum acreage
without fear that their various
markets will be over-supplied.
The feeding Of potatoes to swine
makes one of the important uses in
Germany, and nearly 40 per cent of
the entire production is now used in
in that way. 1t is quite probable
that eventually the United States
will find similar use for the Amer
lean surplus crop. It should be
mentioned, however, that the potato
is merely one component with a
carefully planned ration with the
German farmers. The potatoes are
cooked and mixed with various farm
by-nroducts such az skim milk. bar
ley waste, linseed meal, peanut
meal. etc. The quantity Of potatoes
