FOLLOWS SUGGESTION
MADE BY THE PRESIDENT
House Adopts Resolution Providing
for an Investigation of Rail-
road Problems.

A suggestion made by President Will
son in his opening address to the pres
ent Congress last December was adopt
ed by the House yesterday in the form
of the Newlands resolution to investi-
gate various railroad problems. The
Senate also has adopted the resolution.
and the House action now paves the
way for the appointment of a joint
subcommittee of the Senate and House
interstate commerce committees NO
record vote was taken, but Representa-
tive Mann of Illinois. the republican
floor leader, said if it had been worth
trying he would have made vigorous
opposition to it.
This measure was proposed by rail-
road attorneys. he said, in order
to have hearings to demonstrate that
state control over railroads should be
abolished. The same people have sue
ceeded in getting a plank in the re-
publican platform. SO that both parties
are now pledged to it,
Subjects for Consideration.
The subjects to be studied by the
Joint subcommittee include government
control of interstate and foreign trans
portation: efficiency of the present sys-
tenn in protecting the rights of ship
pers and carriers and in promoting the
public interest; incorporation or con-
troi of the incorporation of carriers
ana all proposed changes in the in
terstaIe commerce law
1t includes consideration of govern
4 nent ownership of all public utilities,
| Including telegraph lines. wireless, ex-
/ press companies and railroads engaged
! in Interstate commerce. The commit
| tee is required TO report to Congress in
january next. and the report is ex-
pec.ed 10 show a finding on the feast
bility OF government ownership of rail-
/ roads
The repor; on the measure outlines :,
. co;:dition Of stagnation in railroad
traffic caused, presumably, by lack of
. railway facilities, such as cars, sidings.
freight and storehouses, etc.
Cost of Railway Equipment.
1T is announced BY experts who
claim to know" the report states. that
It will require expenditure of from
five billion 10 fifteen billion to supply
the railroads of the country with side
tracks. warehouses. terminal facilities
and the other equipments and improve
mentS necessary to handle the trans
portation business Of the country, pres
ent and prospective, in the near future"
The report predicts a rush of bust

war

then came back to Tampico.
1t seems like the Marietta is the only

we had to go to Vera Cruz again with
the machine gun company and turn them
over to the Kentucky, she being relieved
by the Nebraska and ordered home.
EVERY ship gets relieved but the Mari
eta: We have to stay and do all the
work. which we are hardly able to do.
we came back to Tampico and we are
mere ever since. and the crew are getting
very dissatisfied. There hasn't been any
thing said in the naval magazines to ex-
press our feelings about the way this crew
has been treated. but there is lot of
grumbling going on among them.
Men Dissatisfied, Many Desert.
1--WE are trying to hold our spirits up
on account of the trouble here in Mexico.
Most of the sailors on this ship and on
the Machias also think the Americans
are the cause of a lot of trouble here in
Mexico. and 1 don't think it will be well
for them If the sailors have to land with
arms. We have been ashore and seen
and heard a lot.
I'VE have had eight assertions here in
lble discharges, and 1 think the first
chance that is given there will be lot
more assertions if this ship doesn't get a
relief soon.
Every other ship in the tropics has
had repair period or else has been to
the states for a few weeks except the
Marietta in the last year or so. 1t seems
like we ought to get a relief We have
the ships to do it if the department wants
to send one down. This ship has travel
led about $4,000 miles since we left New
York and we think she has done
her bit considering the class she is in.
When this trouble with Mexico is over,
which we hope will be soon. we hope to
get a relief. if not sooner. The crew
is dissatisfied with the long cruise and
there is hard feeling against Americans
here as well as Mexicans, and some Of
these so-called Americans that are stay
ing here had better look out if we have
to go in"

"Growl" of Marietta's Crew.

.
The letter is as follows:
I'VE are sending you this 'growl,' and
We believe we are right in doing SO.
This gunboat and its crew seem to be
the goats of the navy. OF all the navy
has had to do the most of the work.
We left Key West last June G915),
about the 25th, for Progreso, Mexico,
and We have not seen United States
port since.
When the trouble started in Haiti
we were ordered there. When we got
there we relieved two gunboats, so
they could go back to their navy yards
in the United States for repairs, and
our own machinery was beginning to
loosen up badly. After that we were
on the go all the time. Until some
time in the latter part of October,
1915, we were ordered to Guantanamo
bay for coal and provisions and to
make trip to Central America, and it
certainly was no fun the way the wind
blew down there at that time of the
year. 1t was windy and raining all
the time, and when it rains at night
this crew is out of luck. There is no
sleep then.
''The crew have got to sleep up on
deck. as it is almost impossible to
sleep below on account of the heat
from the galleys. firerooms and the
engine room. If they all did come
down We would be packed in like
sardines. Even the officers sleep on
deck and they have fans and blowers
in their rooms There is no blower
system around the decks for the crew.
Bad Coal and Bad Machinery.
I'VE left Central America early in
December for Guantanamo bay. After
being on the go all the time We were
there. we made an eight-day trip out
of four-day trip on account Of bad
coal and bad machinery. Our engineer
force have been working hard to keep
this ship on two legs. We were ex-
pecting to get orders to go home then,
and We thought we would be home
for Christmas. but instead we were
sent back to Haiti and another gun
boat went home for repairs
Our schedule while in Haiti for two
months up to February called for five
days steaming and two days repairs,
Saturday and Sunday. We had to go
some to keep the ship moving. In
February, 1915. we were again order
ed to Guantanamo bay for coal and
provisions. We thought then we
would be ordered home. as we had done
our share and some Of the other gun
boats share as well, but no, we were
ordered to Vera Cruz
1T looked to us as IL all the other
naval ships had vanished. Any time
the Navy Department wanted a gun
Marietta. At fairly good going we
can make about seven knots and we
have got to work like the devil to do
that

MUST SECURE SIGNERs

According to Secretary of State A.
M. Anderson, every aspirant for a
nomination on the democratic state
ticket must secure 742 signers.
Republican aspirants must have
523 signers, Socialists 245 signers
and Progressives 1874 signers.
The law provides that nominating
petitions must be signed by two per-
cent of the party vote cast for the
the highest vote at the last general
election. This 2 per cent must be
distributed over at least seven coun-
ties and must repsent per cent of
the party vote in one tenth of the
precincts.

MORE LAND FOR THE FARMERS

Secretary Lane announces that
during April more than 100000
acres were designated under the en-
laregd homestead act, through
which the entryman may acquire
homesteads Of $50 acres. If the set
tier has already filed on 160 acres
under the old homestead law, he
may. under this act, acquire an adj
ditional $50 ;4cres. The lands made
available during the month for these
larger homesteads have all been
passed on by the geological survey as
non-irrigable, but some of them
have already been patented or en-
tered Or at least filed on. The in
terror department in handling appli-
cations or petitions for the opening
up of specific tracts of land under
the enlarged homestead act, gives
the petitioner the first right to live
on the land. To determine what par
tlcular section, township or range
in any land district is open to entry,
necessitates an examination of the
records at the local land office
In Montana, 100000 acres were
designated in q counties, the bulk
of the land being already filed upon.
General classifications were made
however, in the following counties,
part of the land being free from
claims: Gallatin county, 14,700
acres; Yellowstone county, $4,000
county; Custer county, II 500 acres;
Rosebud county, 1000 acres and
Cascade county, $500 acres.
In New Mexico $4,000 acees were
designated, considerable of which is
open to entry. The lands are in
Union county, $4,000 acres, and in
Quay county, 5000 acres.
In South Dakota, 351 900 acres
were designated, part of which is
open to entry. The land is located
in Harding county, 146,OO0 acres; ;
Butte coutny, 40, OO0acres, and
Lawrence county, $4,000 acres.

CULTIVATION MUST DATE
FROM ENTRY OF LAND

A decision in which homesteaders
are interested was made in the gen.
eral land office not long since. and
concerns the provision requiring
cultivation. The case was entitled
Bryant VS.. Hammer, and the sylla-
bus of the general land office is as
follows:
'"Three-year homestead entry
civilizations: The provision in the
act Of June 6, 1912, requiring home
stead entrymen to cultivate not less
than one-sixteenth Of the area of
their entries beginning with the sec
ond year of the entry, contemplates
that the two-year period mentioned
shall date from the time the entry
is made and not from the time resi-
dence is established

Naturalists say that long ago the

with species of enormous shark
which finally became extinct by
reason of the workings of its vor.

MORE RUSSIANS

Understood That Quarter Of
a Million Men Will Fight
Beside French and Brit
ish Troops.

Marseilies. France. April 21.-rhs
coming of Russian troops to the west
ern front has been talked of by mill
tary people for two months. The rea-
son. as now explained. is that It In
easier for Russia to arm and supply
fighting material to Russian troops
on the western front than on the
eastern.
Russia still has many hundred thou
sand more men under training than sha
can use on her own fighting lines be-
cause the Russian problem continues
to be not how to get men. but muni-
tions. The allies can provide complete
equipment for the Russians more easily
in France than by shipping to Russia
Possibly quarter OF a million men
will be sent into France this spring.
The Russians. In camp here. are re-
ceiving much attention. The authori-
ties refuse 30 permit the number OF

them aside and are putting them aside
because we feel that they have no place
in crisis like this. We come out for
Colonel Roosevelt as a Republican
newspaper, intending to remain Repub-
lican, and we feel that In doing so we
are doing the best thing not only for
the nation but for the Republican
party.
We might have preferred another
leader, but there Is no other leader
Justice Hughes might have spoken II
he had been free to speak. Indeed, we
feel sure he would have spoken, and
for Americanism, had silence not been
imposed upon him and then we should
have preferred him. But the plain fact
is that he did rot, could not, speak.
If the justice should be chosen leader
in the fight for a worthier nationalism,
he would have to take the torch that
Colonel Roosevelt has thus far borne.
He would have to accept an issue that
meant its most only in another mans
hands. Surely In the transfer we
should lose our stride. AS people we
should feel that we had hung back,
that we hadn't gone the limit" In the
true American way. The governments
of Europe would feel this. too. They
would conclude that we meant toAtem-
porize. Something would be lost of
the moral effect of moving straight on
under the leadership of the man who
represents the purpose of this country
as no one else does or can.
The colonel stands for the things
the Tribune stands for. These things
will be advanced more by his nominal
tion than by any other nomination that
can be made. The Tribune must sup
port him.
We are doing more this year than,
choosing a new president We are
choosing which way the country shall
go in the era that is now opening, just
as our fathers chose the nations path
in the days OF 1850.
