SEES DISCRIMINATION
IN IT'S PROVISIONS
Committee Member Protests
Regulation of Great
Lakes Traffic.
lrrnm m Trihnne Rnrcan ]

Washington. Aug. 9.-Pointing out
that the shipyards Of the world were
swamped with contracts and that the
NcAdoo government ship purchase bill
therefore would not add one ton to the
carrying capacity of the world, Senator
Knute Nelson, Of Minnesota, Repubh-
can member Of the Senate Commerce
Committee, denounced the bill to-day
as "more Democratic paregoric to add
to the record of alleged constructive
legislation of this Administration"
This bill is to provide another talk
ing point for the Democratic ora
tors" said Senator Nelson, "but,
if they would only tell the truth
about it, the country would not
be pleased. But they won't tell
the truth. They will say they have
passed this great constructive measure
for the benefit of commerce. The truth
is that we can't get any more ships,
no matter what sort of bill we pass,
in less than two years. All the ship
yards are working as hard as they
can under contracts running way
ahead So the bill will not add any
thing to the bottoms which can carry
the worlds commerce.
Intended to Buy Intened Ships.
when this bill was proposed last
year it was thought that the Admins
tration intended to buy the German
merchantmen locked in our harbors at
the outbreak of the war. But there
is a provision in this bill which makes
that impossible
The measure would actually prove
harmful after the war. Mr. Nelson
added. At that time, he said, many
individuals and corporations IN this
country might embark IN the steam
ship business, but they would hesitate
to 60 into competition with the gov
eminent. Mr.. Nelson resumed:
AS originally drafted, the shipping
commission phase Of this bill contem-
plated government regulation not only
of ocean traffic and great lake trathc,
but of inland waterway traffic as well.
But Immediately there came an APP
peal from the lower Mississippi that
the steamboat men on that river should
not be 'hamstrung' in their efforts to
build up the river traffic.
Calls Measure Partisan.
I'VE Of the great lakes country also
protested, but our voices were not
heard. The committee struck out the
provision for all inland waterways ex-
cept the great lakes. There is no bet
ter reason for regulating the traffic on
the great lakes than there is for regu-
lating that on the Mississippi River.
1t is such determinations as this which
give the bill a partisan flavor.

SOUGHT RECORDS OF
POSTMASTER INQUIRY
Federal Commission Refused
Them and Chief Executive
Sustained II.

The National Civil Service Reform
League. Of 70 Wall Street. and Of
which George T. Reyes is secretary,
made public yesterday some recent
correspondence between the league,
the Federal Civil Service Commission
and President Wilson in regard to the
examination Of the fOurth-class post
masters under the executive order Of
May =. 1918. The commission has re
fused to allow the league access TO
the formal records of the results of
this examination, which involved
nearly $4,000 postmasters.
The league declared that, so far,
President Wilson has sustained the
commissions ruling In the leagues
statement it said;
"The league declares this is the
first time in its existence that in
formation as TO the public admins
tration work Of the Federal Commits
sion has been denied 10 il, except dur
ing q short period in the year 1899.
The league charges that, in refusing
its request, the present commission
has inaugurated' a policy of secrecy
full Of foreboding for the proper ad-
ministration of the civil service law
Many Complaints Registered.
Complaints have come to the league
during the past three years that the
practical effect Of the executive order
Of May 7, 1913. requiring fourth-class
postmasters 10 submit TO competitive
examination, was in many instances TO
secure the appointment of Democratic
rostmasters in place Of the former
;ncumbents. most of whom We're Re
pubhcans. Other complaints reached
the league that Postmaster General
Rurleson. in putting into effect his
policy of motorizatiOn Of the rural
free delivery service, turned out the
old rural carriers and filled the
vacancies in large part with Demo
Gratis who took new examinations.
The league started an investigation
Of these complaints 20 determine
whether the civil service law was being
administered impartially, but was
blocked by the refusal of the Commits
sion to give il access 10 its records.
A conference between the Commits
sion and members Of the leagues coun-
ell was held in Washington on March
81, 1916. At that conference, accord
ing 10 the league, John /. Mcllhenny,
president of the Commission, told
Richard VI. Dana, president Of the
league, that if access were given TO
these, records it might lead 10 such
criticism of the administration as
would seriously embarrass IL and Com
missioner McIlhenny persisted in his
refusal to grant the leagues request.

to answer Mr. Hughes's attack on the

the extravaganza of pork barrel"
legislation. Chairman Mccormick still
maintained that Mr.. Hughes had not
raised "a single issue or put forward
any strong constructive policy in his
speeches.
"Mr Hughes apparently is touring
the country telling the people small,
petty things which amount to nothing"
said Mr.. Mccormick. "On the other

"If the men under President Wilson

perhaps Mr.. Hughes can mention a
Cabinet which has more efficient men

Mr.. Hapgood declared that the diplo-
matte service had never been in as
good working order. and that there had
never been as many of the opposing
party retained in the service as under
Wilson. He said the only prevailing
weakness of the present Administration
was "a lack of ability to advertise its

Archie and Spieker=
man Given Sentence
BOY BANDIT SENTENCED TO FOURTEEN
YEARS in REFORMATORY---SPI
MAN TO YEARS IN PENITENTIARY

Judge Burke came down from
Sterling between trains last Sat-
urday afternoon and held a short
term Of district court. Two Grim
inal cases were disposed of, that
Of David Archie, the young man
who robbed the Gateway cafe in
this city recently, and the Henry
Spiekelman case which has at
tracted more or less attention the
past year or two.
In the Archie case the defend
ant entered a plea of guilty
to two counts and the court
sentenced the young man to
a maximum term of fourteen
years in the reform school at
Beuna Vista. Judge Burke, in
sentencing the defendant, gave
the convicted young man some
good advice and expressed the
opinion that in the event of good
behavior the term would not ex-
tend over year at the reform
atory. The judge also stated
that lienency had been recon-
mended in this case and that it
was the duty Of the count to pass
a maximum sentence, and it was
now up to the young man to
make good. The editor of this
paper wishes to commend Judge
Burke in the action he took in
this case, as we believe that the
young man Archie has and will
have learned most profitable
lesson when he is given his lib.
erty, and we think the court has
done its share in starting him on
the right track David Archie is
young and has the making of q
good law-abiding citizen and we
hope to see him come out of the
kinks and profit by this expert.

to serve three years in the state
penitentiary. A stay of execu.
ton of sixty days was asked for
by the defendant, in order that a
bill of exception could be filed
and an appeal taken to the
supreme court. This was granted
by the judge, but the defendant
was ordered to be placed in the
custody Of the sheriff without
bond. The defendant was re-
manded to the county Jail await
ing further activities in the case.
This case has been in court for
over year and has been hotly
contested by the attorneys on both
sides. Unless an appeal is taken
to the higher court the defendant
is doomed to soon commence a
term in the penitentiary.

BEETS WILL BRING $l.OO
MORE A TON NEXT YEAR

The Great Western Sugar Com
pany announced this week that it
will contract for the 1877 sugar
beet crop on the basis of an aver
age price Of $6.76 per ton to the
farmer, an advance Of Si.OO per
ton over the contract price for the
1916 crop and so cents per ton
over the price actually paid the
farmers this year.
The company decided upon this
action at 4 conference Of directors
and factory managers held last
week. The company contracted
for the 1915 crop last year on the
basis Of S5.75 per ton to the
farmer. Last summer it decided
to pay a war bonus Of SOC per ton
over and above the contract price.
In this way the company arranged
for the farmers to share in the
profitS which had resulted from the
increased price of sugar following
the war in Europe.
The price paid by the company
for beets varies according to the
sugar content of the crop and the
amounts named are tho average
prices paid. The actual raise on
all grades is 81 90 per ton over tho
contract price for 1916.
The payment for SLIDING Of bsets
By tho farmers was also increased
for 1917 from 76c per ton. the
price paid this year. to SI.OO per
ton.
