Thanksgiving turkeys will be found
in plenty at from 22 to 20 cents a
pound at the open markets, Borough
President Marks promised last night
This will he cheaper than at Washing
ton market.
The Borough President said he had
received assurances from poultry men
at the open markets that they will have
a big supply of fresh killed turkeys to-
day and tomorrow which they will sell
at an advance of cents pound over
the Wholesale price
Albert F.. McMulkins. a Washington
st. poultry dealer, who has stands at
all the open markets. wrote to the Bor-
ough President that ne has ordered TO-
600 fresh killed turkeys which he will
offer at cents pound over the whole
sale price.
Mr. McMulkins states that because Of
warm, rainy weather no turkeys have
been packed from Texas, and owing 10
the foot and mouth disease shipments
of poultry from northern states have
been held uD. But merchants in New
York notified the Department of Agri-
culture, and the officials were prompt
in ordering shipments forwarded.
IL am of the opinion that our express
receipts Tuesday will be very heavy"
SAYS Mr.. McMulkins. "and that the mar
ket will be a little lower, as the large
beef concerns and the chain store butch
ers who operate along the avenues have
bought an enormous quantity of cold
storage turkeys, most of them having
been in the freozcrs more than ten
months, the time limit prescribed by
law This fact takes them out of the
market for fresh killed turkeys"
For the guidance of the buying pub
lie the poultry man offers suggestions
on how to tell q cold storage turkey.

SENATORS OPPOSE
VISITS OF CABINET
Do Not Object, However,
to Presidents Presence
at Executive Sessions.
From TIE Tribune Bureau.l

Washington, Nov. 23.-Suggestions
that the President might decide 70 at
tend executive sessions of the Senate
and the members Of his Cabinet take
part in the deliberations Of the House
we're met with a mixed chorus of APP
proval and disapproyal by legislators
to-day.
Most Of the Senator'S who are in
Washington admitted they could see
no grave objection 70 the Presidents
presence in executive session, but they
intimated that they believed the Sen
ate might be inclined TO discuss mat
ters before il with greater freedom If
he was not there. The suggestion that
members of the Cabinet attend ses-
sions of the House was received with
less approval. Representatives declared
il smacked Of the methods Of minis
terial government, and that members
Of the Cabinet, not being elected, had
no constitutional right to sit in leg
islative body.
Senator Stone, chairman of the For
eign Relations Committee, said that he
did not think any ole would object to
meeting the President If he desired
70 attend executive sessions, special
provision having been made TO that end
i'm the rules OF the senate.
"There might" he said, "be occasions
when the President desired to impart
in person 20 the Senate his view OF I'M
portant international matters, when 1t
would be highly commendable for him
to meet the Senate IN executive ses-
sion. | do not suppose for a minute
that the President would be present,
however, when any vote was taken on
a treaty. or that he would appear IN
the Senate when that body was consld-
ering nominations made by MN.
Senator Borah took a similar view.
go far as the Constitution is con-
cerned." he said. 81 see no reason why
me President should not sit in ses-
sions relative to treaties and nomina-
tions. but as matter OF practice |
prophesy il would not be long contln-
ued." =,
Members of the Cabinet, he held, had
no ripht TO sit in the House. To solve
the problem he suggested that they De
elected by the people, saying:
or il is deemed expedient or practi-
cob1e IA elect heads of the depart
ments. with the knowledge upon the
mart of the people that they are TO be
lawmakers in q cerein sense, well and
GOOD We'll try il, and adjust our Con-
stitution so that we may do 1t,

Feeding tho Railroad Cow on Saw
dust.
Leslie's Weekly, Dec. II, 1914: The
annual report of President H q.
Nudge to the stockholders OF the
Rock Island railroad contains chap
ter entitled "A Twelve Year Re
view" This will interest not only
the stockholders Of the Rock Island
system. but of all other railway Sc
curities for it shows that the day is
coming II we keep on as We are
now. when only wealthy govern
ment can afford to operate big rail-
road. It shows that railroad In
these times is like a COW that every
body wants to milk and nobody Is
willing to feed.
1t has been estimated that the en-
forced reductions in rates and the
steady increases in wages and taxes
would reduce the Rock Islands net
revenue last year On the basis OF the
business of 1915 by about 10000
OC0 President Mudge's analysis
shows that the operation OF these
factors on the basis OF the 1914 bust
ness, cut the Rock Islands net reve-
nue. over s16,O00,000. This tfemend-
GUS shrinkage is mainly due to SIX
factors, none OF which, let 1t be OBJ
served by critics of our railroads. Is
subject to the control of the rail
read management. These factors
are:
! 1.-Arbitrary reductions OF rates
by State Federal Commissions.
! 2.-Wage increases demanded and
enforced by labor unions.
3.-Higher costs of all forms OF
material and supplies.
4.-1ncreaged operating expenses
made necessary by State laws. Three
hundred Of these laws affecting the
Rock Island system have been en-
acted in the last five years, most of
which are political creations, devils
ed to make popularity" for poIiti-
clans.
5.-lncreased taxes.
Increased cost OF capital.
The figures on which the conclus.
ions are based are taken out of the
reports required and accepted by the
Interstate Commerce Commission
and are therefore, incontrovertible
Ihey furnish abundant food for re.
Election.

A DEMOCRATIC REVOLT.

Inc WllSOn ADMINISTRATOR Is likely
20 face less favorable political condi-
lions during the second half Of the
presidential term. The party organi-
zation shows signs Of disintegration.
Heretofore the prestige of Mr.. Wilson
as a new leader; the immense patron
age at his disposal; the thorough grip
he obtained as sequence upon the
democratic caucuses OF both house
and senate and the cooperation given
him by the Underworld Simmons ry-
an-Clark factions-all these combined
to pull the president through some
pretty tight places in crowding his
administration measures to final pas
sage, says the Burlington Hawk-Eya
But now there Is a change in politi.
cal conditions The November cleo
lions gave the democratic party a ma
I terial setback. It will control the
next house by greatly reduced ma
iority and Is facing threatened revolts
in the party. The people are beginning
to kick about increased expenditures.
Increased taxation and the failure of
the promise to reduce the cost of Iiv-
ing. The democratic tariff fails to
produce the promised revenue and it
has closed Or crippled many indus
tries. The inQuisitorial revenue tax is
annoying and there is general dissat-
1sfaction with the whole democratic
fiscal and economic policy.
Although Mr. Wilson is a southern
man by birth. and the southern demo-
Gratis dominate the committees of
Roth the house and senate, and con-
sequently practically shape all legis-
iation. nevertheless the evidences Of
revolt against the administration are
more numerous and significant among
the southern members Of the party.
The senate is rejecting some Of the
presidents nominations. A Washing.
ton staff correspondent of the Chicag
Tribune telegTaphs Dec. 9th:
There was a good deal Of dis
cussion Of this question among
politicians here today It was oc-
casioned by the publication of a
comprehensive condemnation OF
the Wilson administration put
forth by Gov. Colquitt Of Texas.
Members OIL the IeXaS delegation,
all damocrats, said today that the
governors opinions represent
z pretty accurately the sentiment
prevailing in that state.
Gov Colquitt declared that ''un-
less conditions change the Will
son administration will go down
in history as the greatest failure
this country has ever known"
The governor sharply criticised
the president for his failure ito
aid the cotton growers OF the
south" and also condemned his
Mexican policy declaring against
the manner in which the situa-
ton at Naco. ATiz, was handled.
Gov. CoIquitt predicted the de-
feat of the democratic party at
the polls two years hence. unless
remarkable change in the meth
oCs of the administration takes
place.
