why he has no such summary ruling

cause there is no judge authorized to

Commission Opposes Stevenson Bill

Washington, Aug. 12.-The Federal
Trade Commission today addressed a
letter to Chairman Damson, of the
House Committee on Interstate Com
merce, adversely reporting on the
Steenerson bill, which gives to the
commission the power to fix the price
of gasoline and other products of pc
troleum The commission states that,
in its judgment, this measure in
wolves such a change in economic
conditions in the United States, that
it could not see its way to approving
such a radical departure from ex-
istng conditions without long and
careful consideration. The commits

COTTON FUTURES ACT.
Measure Reenacted With Few Changes
as Part Annual Appropriation Act.

Washington, ID. c., Aug. 14.-The
annual appropriation bill for the De-
partment of Agriculture just passed
by congress contains a reenactment,
effective September l, 1916, of the
United States cotton futures act, with
a few changes. Section IL of the
present law, which taxes orders sent
abroad for the making of future con-
tracts on foreign cotton exchanges
unless certain conditions were com
piled with, will be omitted.
A new section known as Ga is in
serted in the bill, which provides an
optional contract under which parties
may, by agreement without being sub
ject to tax, contract that under GER
tain specified conditions the buyer
may demand delivery of the basis
grade named in the contract.
Another modification which will be
of interest to the trade is the au-
thority conferred on the Secretary of
Agriculture, in case of disputes, to in
clude in his findings, even though
only one question be referred, a com
plete classification of the cotton for
the purpose of delivery on future con-
tracts. under the old law, the au-
thority of the secretary was confin-
ed to determination of the speci-
fic question of grade, quality, or
length of staple referred to him by
the parties. In other words, if the
dispute involved grade only, and cot
ton was found to be gin-cut, which is
question of quality, the secretary
had no authority to include state
ment as to gin-cut in his findings.
Government officials in charge o.
the matter call especial attention to
the facts that the new act will not
become effective until September l,
1916, and that the old act of August
Is. 1914. will remain IN full force un-
til the beginning of next month.
The rules and regulations of both
the treasury and the agricultural de
partments, with slight notifications
and additions necessitated by the
changes made in the law, will be re
issued shortly after approval Of the
bill by the president so that there
will be no disturbance whatsoever
10 the trade. The official cotton
standards Of the United States, here
tofore established. will be readopted
and promptly promulgated. so as to
be in force when the new act becomes
operative.

EXPRESS REFUND AND RATE
ISSUES NEAR SETTLEMENT

Oklahoma City, Ok, Aug. 13.-Prob-
ability of settlement of the express
refund and express rate issues in
Oklahoma seems to be recognized
in statehouse circles today. This eX-
press case is almost as old as state
hood. 1t is pending poth in the Fed
eral court and in the Corporation
commission. The commission has as
certained that about S465,000 is due
the state on account of the tariff
maintained by the express companies
in this state despite the commission
rates while the case was on appeal in
the Supreme Court. Supersedeas
bonds were filed by the express com
panies, but these bonds were inspf-
ficient in some instances.
The basis of settlement will be
about $425,000 cash to be paid to
the commission for the benefit of
shippers, most of which will ultimate
ly escheat to the state for want OF
claimants and the adjustment of rates
on a basis that will be more fair to
the express companies.
Such a settlement has been pro
posed by the express companies and
has been under consideration for
some time. That it will be made in
the next few weeks seems to be the
opinion of members OF the commits
sion and other state officials who
are in touch with the situation.
A settlement would have been
made several months ago, but for the
refusal of Chairman j. Z. Love of
the commission to enter into any con-
sideration of an increase in rates
pending settlement in full of the
claim for overcharges. Colonel Love
took the arbitrary position that the
cases were separate and must not be
mingled. He said the refunds must
be paid, and then the commission
would consider making new rate.
ne eApIeSS COLlpduleS ulu uOJ oct
any advantage to their position in
paying the refund claimed while the
issue is pending in the Federal court
as to the liability of the companies
to make such refund unless the pay
ment thereof should lead to modi-
fication of the admittedly too rigid
depression of rates by the commits
sion.
The situation a few weeks ago as
sumed a phase that promised longer
delay and trial in the Federal court.
That conferences have about changed
this position to one where there
seems likely to be a compromise that
will profit the state, give the express
companies justice in matter of rates
and settle amicably controversy
that is hoary with age and covered
with the dust of courts delays is the
present understanding in this city.

of seed per acre, while other varieties
are shown in quantities of from 45
TO rs pounds per acre"
Miracle" wheat, also known as
"Stoner," Marvellous" Eden" For
ty-to- one" and perhaps by other
names, has had a brief but eventful
career.
Three great advantages have been
asserted for this wheat by various
promoters at different times; O that
it would outyield any other variety
anywhere; (2) that it sent up more
stems from one seed than any other
variety of wheat; and (3) that 20
pounds of seed per acre produced
the maximum yields, while other var
ieties required 12O pounds.
These assertions were investigated
by the U. S. Department of Agricul-
ture, and a number of tests have
shown that the Stoucr wheat is not
so good as some of the wheats now
grown in the eastern half of the Uni
ted States, but is somewhat better
than others. On the whole, it is of
average value. In comparative tests,
however, II has never outyielded all
other varieties, and many other var
ieties have surpassed it. Common
varieties have exceeded it in the mum
Der of stalks on a plant. As for the
rate of seeding, the tests show that
yields of this variety are increased
when shown at rates of seeding high
er than those advocated by its pro
moters.
1t is not advisable for the farmers
of the semiarid southwest, the cereal
specialists of the department say. to
take up the growing or this wheat in
preference TO Turkey wheat, on the
basis of any tests so far made. This
socalled Miracle wheat has not shown
itself to be really a drOught-resistant
sort 1t will probably prove disap-
pointing in comparison with Turkey
wheat in majority or the crop years.
In an unusually wet year it may give
good yields, and the present exploit
alton of the variety doubtless is due
largely to the unusual conditions Of
1914 and 1915. In milling value the
wheat is not in the same class with
hard red winter wheats of the Turkey
type. 1t belongs to the soft red or
semihard winter wheat class, which
wheats generally produce flour Of
less strength or lower gluten content
than the hard wheats. II is also re
ported by millers as giving a lower
yield of flour.
The Miracle wheat is practically
identical in appearance in the field
Red, and differs from Mediterranean
principally in color or chaff. These
are all good wheats, but have never
been considered as especially drought
resistant. and should not be allowed
TO encroach upon the area where Tur-
key wheat is most successful

PROTEST AGAINST
POLICY FOLLOWED
BY GREAT BRITAIN
Holding Up of Hospital Sup

British Lines Are stormed.

Washington, May 12.-The American
government is preparing to protest to
Great Britain against its policy of re-
fusing to allow the shipment of hos
pital supplies BY the American Red
Cross to Germany and her allies. Sec
retary Lansing received letter Thurs
day from former President Taft,
chairman of the central committee of
the Red Cross urging such action and
it was learned last night that the mat.
ter would be aiken up with the British
government in the near future.
Mr.. Taft's letter revealed for the
first time that Great Britain formally
had declined to issue permits for ship
ments of supplies to the central pow
ers except when intended for Ameri-
can hospital units. This exception,
Mr.. Taft wrote was worthless, be-
cause on account of lack of funds the
Red Cross had maintained no units
in the belligerent countries since last
october.
The Red Cross also considers the
attitude of the British government to-
ward the Geneva treaty to which the
United States and all of the belliger-
ents ar signatories and holds the
American government has the right to
insist on observance of the treaty. Mr..
Taft expressed the hope that the Brit
ish position was based on an erroneous
report that the belligerent powers had
refused to agree to a reciprocal course
for treatment of articles fo- the sick
and wounded.
