as fact, and the eel was loaded with an
incubus of impossible attributes The
most extraordinary theories and beliefs
have been entertained regarding the

.REDfIELD IS HOPEFUL
OF BUSINESS OUTLOOK
Says Mr.. Wilson's Message Places
President in Line with Best
Commercial Thought.
SEES PERMANENT PROSPERITY

Secretary Redheld. Of the Department
of Commerce, took a hopeful view OF the
business outlook. and in an interview
given to The Washington Herald de-
clared that the Presidents message
proved that the President is in line with
the best business thought of the coun-
try and has outlined a policy which will
improve business conditions. restore pop
ular confidence in business, and lead to
q permanent prosperity.
The Secretary reviewed crop conditions
and other fundamental conditions
throughout the country, declaring that
all signs pointed to prosperous times One
Of the strongest indications Of business
expansion, he said. was the movement
among American manufacturers looking
to the enlargement of their export trade.
Secretary Redfield said:
Il am sure that the spirit OF the Presi-
dents message read to Congress today
will strike a responsive chord in busi-
ness circles all over the land. Already
such depression as had existed here and
there has begun to pass away. The
movement seems to be upward and for
ward generally. 1t is not rush or a
boom, and 1t is well that it is not, be-
cause rushes and booms are apt to last
but a little while
"The fundamental economic conditions
of the country are sound; there Ks no exces-

rency bill has removed the threatened
danger from an inflexibie financial con-
dition; the tarfn, even by those who

POLITICAL MACHINE
Seen IN ALASKA BILL

Step IN Dirsedon Of
Socialism.
KENYON URGES cIvIL SERVICE

Government ownership and control oi
railroads was discussed in the Senate
yesterday afternoon in connection with
the Alaska railroad bill. Senator Nc
Cumber insistsd that goverrment owner
snip was the first step in the direction
of a sociaiistic movement and that II
would end in building up great politi'
cal machine made up Of railway en-
ployes. whose salaries would be much
higher than are paid under present con-
ditions.
Senator Kenyon. replying to Mr.. Nc
Cumber's charge that railway ownership
and operation by the government would
result In q great political machine, In
sisted that II could be guarded AGAINST
by applying the merit system and the
civil service protection to the employees.
Senator Smith. Of Michigan, took ex-
ception to the suggestion that the civil
service system was carried out In good
faith and that political appointments are
made on merit He characterized sena-
tor Kenyon's idea trat railway employees
under government ownership would be
kept out of politics by the civil service
as another Utopian dream"
Referring to the estimate by Mr.. Thorne,
OF the Iowa commission, that govern
ment ownership would save S45o, ,ooo. 900 q
year, Mr.. Kenyon observed:
'Tf the efficiency of our TRANSPORTATION
was not diminished and II civil service
was kept strictly intact 10 that the en-
ployes would not be thrust into politics,
the people may well inquire whether such
an amount should not be saved. because
in the end. 1t comes out of them.
In the courRe of the diacussiou Of the
bill Senator Chamberlain, who IL In
charge of the bill. assured Senators that
II was the intention Of the committee
to limit the amount Of the total expendi-
ure on account Of railroads in Alaska
to $S.ooQ0o0 the total mileage to 1000 and
that possibly there might be limitation
as to what the average cost per mile
should be- Senator William Alden Smith
was Of the opinion that the road ought
to be built for $4,000 q mile on the aver
age. -
Secretary of the Interior Lane yester-
day forwarded 10 Representative Hous-

Washington, June 6.-The senate in
terstate commerce comrnittee voted to
report out only the trade commission
member Of the trust bills. The action
is construed by many as an indica-
ton Of limitation Of the administra-
tion's program at the present session
of congress.
There was no record of the vote.
In a general discussion some senator's
opposed the motion and others de-
clared themselves opposed even to
this bill at the present time. Chair
man NewlandS said the committee
might take UP supplemental legisla-
tion and issued this statement:
"The committee. determined today
to segregate the trade commission
from the supplemental legislation and
have authorized me to present an
amendment in the nature of a substi-
tute for my original bill for a trade
commission. The committee con-
cluded to name the trade commission
the federal trade commission instead
of the Interstate trade commission in
order clearly to distinguish from the

While live stock has by no means
been a neglected topic during the past
three years, the work Of the better
farming agencies, both those connected
with the State Experiment Station
and others, has to a large extent been
centered upon introducing corn and
alfalfa as staple crops in the state
AS a direct result Of this work the
corn crop has been more than dou
bled each year and conservative esu-
mkates place the 1914 acreage already
planted in North Dakota at $4,000
acres.
Alfalfa. too, has been making great
gains, the acreage increasing from
year to year in the ratio OF 300 to 500
per cent. Both corn and alfalfa are
being grown in every section of the
state and North Dakota farmers have
in the main become convinced the
both crops can be successfully grown.
