OF a foreign country which is engaged
in war, which is not adapted, or read
lily made adaptable, to the purpose
mentioned in the Act, or which has
deteriorated by more than twenty-five
per cent from it's original efficiency
Another amendment prohibits the
sale of an American ship to any one
not citizen of the United States, or its
transfer to foreign flag, until the
Board has been given an opportunity
to buy it, and still another prohibits
he operation by corporation in which
the Government is a stockholder of

less it has been found impossible to
secure its operation by a citizen OF a
private corporation.
But the amendment which has stir
red up the strongest opposition is the
one which provides THAT foreign
built vessels admitted to American
registry or enrolment and license
under this Act, and vessels owned,
chartered, or leased by any corporation
in which the United States is stock
holder, and vessels sold, leased, or
chartered to any person citizen of the

may engage in the coastwise trade of
the United States" 1t is charged by
the oponents of this legislation that it
is the entering wedge which will fin
ally result in throwing open all our
coastwise trade to foreign ships.
There are several things which those
who are interested in this bill, whether
for or against, should bear in mind:
First; The Senate can do anything
it pleases with the bill. So if there is
anything you want put into it, or taken
out of it, or kept in it, or kept out of it,
you should make your wishes known
to the senators from your state
Second; 1t is practically certain to
come up soon. No one can tell how
long it will be debated, but it may be
disposed of promptly. 1t will be well,
therefore, to take the matter up with
your senators at once, preferably by
wire.
Third; Any amendment made by
the senate must be accepted by the
house before they can become part

Senate Considers Ship BMAs
House Marks Time In Heat

WASHINGTON, D. c., Aug. IA
While the house marks time, the zen
ate slowly, but steadily in spite of the
sitting heat, is disposing of pending
legislation and very soon, possibly even
before these words are in print, will
begin consideration of H. r. 1886
better known as the Shipping Bill
While the Commerce Committee of the
senate has made number of import
ant amendments to the bill as it pass
ed the House, the fundamental features
o. the measure are still unchanged
and it SENS practically certain that
they will be retained when it becomes
a law.
The bill creates a United States
Shipping Board, which is to control
and regulate common carriers by
water and "other persons subject to
the Act" quite as completely as com
mon carriers by rail" are controlled
and regulated by the Interstate Com
merce Commission. The House bill
provided for five appointive commits
sioners, with a salary of $4,000 each,
with the Secretary of the Navy and
the Secretary of Commerce as mem
bers ex oficio; the amended bill leaves
the two Secretaries out.
The provision of the house bill ap-
piled to craft of every sort and size
from an ocean steamer to a motor boat
from lake freighter to a canal boat,
from square rugged ship to a cat
boat, and, under certain conditions, to
draymen and stevedores. The amend
ed bill applies only to common car
riers by water ION the high seas or the
Great Lakes" which leaves out all
boats on rivers and canals and in
coastal waters within the three mile
limit, and tow boats, ferry boats
lighters and transfer men-which in
cludes draymen and stevedores-are
specifically exempted.
This amendment is in the right d.
rection, but it ought to go farther and
exempt boats of every kind up to 200
tons, certainly up to 100 tons capacity
The big fellows can stand regulation
if they have to, while it would drive
the little ones out of business.
Another amendment prohibits the
Board, or any corporation n which the
United States is tsockholder, from
buying, leasing or chartering any yes.

therefore, that you should present

your state as to your senators.

MARKETING
Field Men Leave Washington to Start
News Service; viii Collect and Re-
port Information in Regard to
Perishable Crops

Washington, D. c., March 3l.-Field
men of the office of Markets and Ru-
raj Organization have left Washing
ton to inaug lrate the department of
aglicultures market news service for
perishable crops this year. Branch Of
fices have been established in New
York, Boston, Philadelphia, Buffalo,
Pittsburgh, Chicago, st. Louis, Min
neapolis and Kansas City, to collect
and distribute information in regard
to marketing conditions. Other men
are stationed in the producing sec
tons in Florida. Louisiana and Texas,
where onions, tomatoes and strawber-
ries are already being shipped in car
load lots to the big markets.
By collecting in this way informa-
ton concerning conditions in produc-
ing districts and marketing centers,
the Market News Service of the de-
partment of agriculture is designed to
aid both shippers of and dealers IN
perishahle crops. The information
collected is sent out free by telegraph
to all those who are sufficiently inter-
estod to pay the telegraph charges and
by mail to those who do not care to in
cur this expense, but have a good rea-
son for Wishing the reports. Each of
the field men in the marketing and
producing centers acts as distribu-
tor of this information and, in addi-
ton. it is sent of direct from Wash
infton.
These reports will deal with carload
shipments, receipts and general con-
ditions for the onion, tomato and
strawberry crops. Other crops will
follow as the season advances, the
service being designed to include a
total of IL crops altogether. In the
opinion Of marketing specialists this
work, which was begun last year, has
already demonstrated its value in pre-
venting the gluttjng of markets, in Sc
curing more profitable distribution for
rerishable crops. and in avoiding de
lay and waste through unnecessary di-
versions o. carload shipments en-
route.

WILL VOTE
ON MOTOR
EQUIPMENT
Chief Cattis COnecis Impression thai Bond
Issue for Improving Fire Department
is Contemplated; Amount Sought
is $4,000

At the election on Tuesday of next
week, the voters will be called upon
in addition to eleeting aldermen, TO
say whether or not the city of Chicka-
sha shall contract debt in the sum
of $40, 900 for the purpose OF motoriz-
ing and adding to the equipment OF
the fire department.
Chief Gattis. of the fire department,
stated this morning that many OF the
voters had through some means gain
ed an erroneous idea of this matter,
thinking that the election was for the
purpose OF voting bonds with which
to raise the money to add to the
equipment and to purchase the motor
trucks. Such, the chief stated, was
not the case. The voters of the city
will be called upon to say whether or
not the city shall buy the supplies, to
the amount of $4,000 and pay for
them out Of the proper funds.
city Clerk Reynolds stated that,
should the vote authorize the incurr-
ing of the debt. there would be approx
iraately $4,000 or $1,000. almost if not
half the entire amount, available by
the time the equipment arrives to pay
down upon it,
In speaking further upon the matter.
Clief Gattis said that, should the
equipment of the fire department re-
main as It is. it will become necessary
at once to purchase at least one and
possibly two teams of horses to sup
plant those which have outlived their
usefulness as fire horses. On the
other hand, the chief stated, with the
motoriziug OF the department two
teams of those now in use may be dis
pensed with, thereby materially reduc-
ing the initial cost of the new equip
ricnt
