Administration leaders and republican
senators favoring the enactment of the
food control bill today were working
hard to evolve q measure which will be
satisfactory to majority of the Senate
and enable that body to pass it next
Saturday, the day fixed for a vote.
The President came to their aid yes

Of Virginia, the democratic floor leader,
in which he urged speedy enactment Of
the bill, opposed the Gore substitute,
and made it plain that he would be
satisfied at this time with bill dealing
with food, feeds and fuel.
While he did not oppose having con-
troll granted over steel, cotton, WOOL,
been inserted in the bill in the Senate,
the President did not ask for such con-
troll at this time.

Proportional Representa-

Walter ]. Willard. the field secre-
tary of the American Proportional
Representation league OF Phila-
delphia, has been calling on a num-
Der of Fargo citizens during the last
three days to interest them in the
principles of his organization.
Proportional representation is a
system OF voting and election which
has made great strides in Europe
and the British colonies. Denmark,
Sweden, Finland, Belgium and
Switzerland use 1t in Europe for the
election Of parliaments and councils,
as do New Zealand, Tasmania and
South Africa
Instead of one member being elect
ed from one district, as many as ten
are elected from a large district and
each political party or group gets
the share of the ten members that
its vote holds to the total vote cast.
Leading men of the countries using
il claim it increases interest in citi-
zenship for a member of a majority
party is interested in seeing that
his party gets its full share Of men,
bers and at the same time the mem
Der of a minority party also knows
that he will not be throwing his
vote away" but can help elect a man
If his party is one-tenth Of the total
vote.
The league, seeks to have 1t intro
duced in this country and on its
council are men like EXPIRES. Chas
Eliot of Harvard and Judge Ben
Lindsey OF Colorado.
Mr.. Willard has arranged to adj
dress several organizations in the
next week or so and anyone interest
ed in the proposal can make an ap-
pointment with him at the Powers

(By Associated Press.)

Washington, Sept. IA. - The
administration's soldiers and sailors

pendents Of enlisted men and Officers

The vote was 319 to o, Representa-
tives Plat Of New York and Hersey
Of Maine changing negative votes to
aye before the result was announced
amid thunderous applause.
AS the bill went to the senate,
privates and officers and their de-
pendents stand on exactly the same
basis. Benefits and allowances now
provided for are slightly higher than
those proposed at the minimum for
prtvates by the committee and con-
siderably lower than the maximum
amounts which officers and their de-
pendents would have received.
President Wilson scored a personal
victory in the adoption by 141 to II
OF an amendment raising from S.
QUO to $4,000 the maximum amount
OF optional insurance policies that
the government would issue to all
the men in the service. The original

The main purposes of the bill are
to provide a substitute for the pres
ent pension law as 1t would apply to
men engaged in this war, a new sys-
tenn Of allotments and compensations
which will provide for dependents of
the soldier and rehabilitate men up
on their return from the war.
Upon enlistment under the
provisions of the bill, a soldier or
sailor would be entitled to take out
from $1,000 to $4,000 worth of
optional insurance at approximately
SO per $1,000. His dependents
would be entitled to allotment from
the government from S. to $50 per
month and an equal amount up to
SIS per month from his pay.

military or naval service, including
women members of the nurse corps,
would be entitled to compensation
ranging from $50 to $40 per month.
and the insurance.
In case of total disability the in
jured persons would be paid from
$40 to 800 per month.

expectedly. No serious opposition to
them was promised until Representa-

camp at Columbus, N. NJ, where
they had been since their deporta-

July ~ last, got off a passenger
train at Osborn Junction Point for
met by Sheriff Wheeler and a party
of deputies. All were taken before
police judge here to face charges
of vagrancy. Warrants against some
of them for disturbing the peace and
for intimidation Of peaceful citizens
were served by the sheriff.
OF the thirty-five, five were mar
ried men. They were permitted to
see their families. One of the men
owns property here; six were sub

remainder were unclassified. The
married men denied affiliation with

Sheriff Wheeler took personal
charge of the drafted men. Most Of
the unclassified men said they did
not want to remain in Bisbee but
came only to get personal belong
lngs. Many OF Lnem are not CltlSSEs
of the United States.
Asked whether he was a citizen,
one OF the men said:

officers are advised, and will be
brought here to face the local police

A number of citizens from Bisbee
went to Osborn to see the men ar
rive but did not participate in their
arrest. One of the returning exiles
cursed the American government.
Sheriff Wheeler admonished all the
men against this.
Il deported you men myself, in the
name of Cochise county" he said,
"and for the good of the country. It
is me you want to talk to and about:
not this government. II you say an
other word / Will arrest you on a
treason charge instead Of for vag-
rancy. This is not a time when any
man can speak of the United States
government except in terms Of re-

lies from Columbus will return here.
They will be handled by the sheriff
in the same way that yesterdays

UP TO PUBLIC TO SAY
What THEY WILL EAT
HoteImen Cannot Dictate 60 Them
Says Leimbaeher Who Returns
From Chicago Meeting.

The elimination of waste in the
cafes and the dining rooms Of hotels
rests more with the patrons of such
places than with the hotel men, in
the opinion of A. III. Leimbacher,
manager Of the Gardner hotel, who
returned Thursday evening from
Chicago, having attended a special
meeting of the American Hotel Pro-
tective association.
The elimination of waste was the
big issue before the hotel men gath
cred, representing "a states in the
Union. According to Mr.. Leimbacher,
there were several addresses in
which the members OF the associa-
ton were told what they should do
but no official action was taken.
It was pointed out that IL a
cafe would have meatless day in
the week or one meatless meal a day
patron of the cafe wanting
meat, would go where he could get Il
and the owner Of the cafe would be
the loser.
The American hotel man is cater
ing to the wants Of the people and
IL is not for them to say what the
public shall eat and not eat. They
are paying their money, and accord
ing to Mr.. Leimbacher must be edu-
Gated through some other chan
mel than the hotels and cafes. Ac-
cording to a statement made at the
convention, there seems to be no
straitened condition for food and
the man with the price for a steak
is going to get it some way or other.
The members of the association
voted to drop the word protective"
from the name of their association,
Ii having no significance and often
brings forth the question, "Why
protective association Hereafter
the association will be known simply
as the American Hotelmen's associa-
ton. The special meeting lasted but
one day, Wednesday.
