After a conference with. the Secre-
tary of Commerce, Representative How
ard, of Georgia, yesterday introduced in
the House a resolution authorizing the

Mr.. Howard said that he had been

government, which paid II cents a gallon
last year, was confronted with a price
of 40 cents gallon. Contractors will
not consider a lower price and 1t is pos

A Few Notes on the Present
Season.
The head coach of the Louisiana
state college football team is named
Bible, and his assistant is named
Pray.
Not since Ted Coy scored two touch
downs in 1907 has Yale crossed the
Harvard goal line. Not since 1906 has
Yale scored victory over the Chin
son eleven.
The defeat of Rutgers, or rather the
victory of Brown. was a decidedly
welcome morsel to more than one
New England football fan. The Sat
urday before Brown met Rutgers the
Bears played in Williamstown. Then
Sanford and 10 players. with two moy-
ing picture operators. watched, the
Brown team against Williams. 1t was
the general concensus that Sanford
and Rutgers was carrying the sport OF
college football mite too far. Hence
the satisfaction that this elaborate
pre- aration for the Brown game was
futile for Sanfords men.
Dave Tibbott's 46-yard drop kick in
the Princeton-1ufts game promises to
stand as one OF the longest II not the
longest field goal OF the 1916 season.
Tibbott's boot was the only score in
the long battle. 1t was perfect in d.

AFTER AND BEFORE

f, AFTER AND~BEFORE.-There is
some point to Mr.. Hughes condem-
nation of Legislation in advance Of
investigation, although it is not the
point which he intends to present in
his knocking" of the administration.
All the legislation in this country is
in advance of investigation. We elect
congresses and legislatures to make
laws. These bodies get together,
fight like cats over proposed laws for
months, often bringing serious dis
turbance or positive calamity upon
popular interests, and finally what
they've enacted goes to the supreme
court for investigation This latter
body, after investigation, often says
that all the labor and fuss expended
on the enactments have been sheer
waste and folly, since the enactments
are unconstitutional
The cure for this condition is eth
er adjustment of the supreme court
or investigation of proposed legisla-
ton by that court before the legisla-
ting body takes definite action. L

other parts of the country. "
Whatever the railroad employees
get in the form of increased wages
DOES flow back all over the country
and helps increase local prosperity.
If the railroads should have to re-
duce dividends S1OO,OOO,OOO to pay
for the S-hour law for all classes of
employees, it would be a fine thing
for the country as a~whole,
This $1O0,OO0,OO0 would simply be
transferred through the hands of the
railroad employees from New York,
where it pours into the Golfers of the
Vanderbilts, Goulds and Morgans, to
every city and village in the land to
be spent with the butcher, the baker
and others.
The foregoing facts were dug out
of the statistics by Basil Manly.

at their physical valuation, and no
more.

SOME MORE WAR

TlON.-The emergency revenue bill,

edness for war, if not, in certain
events, declaration of war-cQm-

Under its provisions the president
can prohibit importation of goods
from nations which bar importation
into their own country or their de-
Tendencies, or into any other coun-
try, of any legal article produced in
the United States, and back his

Suppose, for instance, that the en-
