SHOW HUGE GARDEN INCREASE.

Incomplete reports received at
Iowa State college, Ames, indicate
that there is at least 300 per cent
increase in garden acreage in Iowa
this year.
Reports from the volunteer food
producers army, from the boys and
girls clubs and from high schools
show that 10000 persons in these
groups alone have gardens. This, of
course, represents minute fraction
of the gardens in the state. OF the
total, II, 200 are enrolled in the boys
and girls clubs, 1900 as volunteer
food producers and $4,000 represent
gardeners from about half the high
schools of the state. Enrolment
from the other half would undoubt-
eddy, show another $4,000.
Indications of at least 800 per
cent. increase lie in the fact that, of
the boys and girls club members
alone, 5000 of the 1900 are planting
a garden for the first time, practical
ly every one of the 1000 volunteers
are garden beginners and at least 49,
600 of the $4,000 high school students
have never had a garden before.
Garden enrolment in the club work
is larger this year than the enroll
ment in all IS club divisions last
year. Is .&A4 80 s''''
! Estimating that each of the 10000
persons are cultivating garden OF
10 square rods, which is conserva-
tive, their gardens would cover $500
acres or LA of the total truck gar
den acreage of the state On this acre
age could be raised 100000 pounds
of tomatoes of really first-class gar
dens. .- .e.#

Three or One?

In connection with the proposed food
control commission, substituted by the
Senate for a one-man administration, it
is to be noted that the shipping board
troubles indicate the difficulties of null
tiple management. The troubles in the
shipping matter may not have been due
strictly to the fact that more than one
man was charged with responsibility. It
may have been solely matter of con-
f1ieting personalities. Yet the fact re-
mains that divided responsibility has
frequently before caused delay and
made for conflict. In this present crisis
what is needed is promptness of action.

Washington has rarely seen, even in

markable part of it was that there was

giving Washington a strictly local

there is consolation in the fact that such

House, Senate and Revenue.

The ranking republican member OF
the ways and means committee-Mr. Hill
Of Connecticut-made this announce
ment in the House yesterday:
II learn from the press that the Sec
rotary of the Treasury appeared before
the Senate finance committee and pro-
posed $1,000. 600 900 additional funds.
The House is absolutely ignored under
the plea that it is an emergency.
When such a bill comes to US for CON
sideration. if nobody else does it. |
shall move to send it back. the House
refusing to consider it. | think we
ought to stand by our rights and have
this business attended to more promptly
than it has been attended to-
The pith of this contention IS that
Secretary McAdoo's latest recommended
ton makes new revenue measure nee
e..ary, and that under the Constitution
such measure must originate in the
House
The right of amendment has often
been exercised by the Senate, and some
times in a pronounced degree. In 1894
the House revenue bill was so materially
changed by the Senate that bitter
wrangle in conference followed, with the
Senate the victor. In 1897 the House
revenue bill-the Dingley biH-received
important touches in the Senate, which
prevailed in conference; and the same
was true of the Payne bill in 1909, 1t is
fresh in everybody's memory that four
years ago the Senate. in committee and
in open debate, held the House bill
the Underwood bilf-fve months, and
reshaped it in many particulars.
As a matter of fact, too, the Senate
finance committee, before Secretary Nc
Adoo's latest deliverance. had made
many changes in the Kitchin bill, and
the Senate was on the eve of taking up
the bin as prepared by its committee.
Mr.. Hills point is somewhat academic,
and Congress faces a condition which
must be met in practical way. The
government needs money in large sums,
and should have it. The Senate com
mittee has been engaged on the prob
lem, and is ready to go right along with
it in the spirit of still further amend
ing the Houses action. Later, when the
Senate shall have acted on the commit
tees action. the House can address it
self to what in the shape of an amended
bill the Senate may have sent over.
Mr.. Hill speaks of attending to this
business "more promptly than it has
| been attended to-" Criticism of the
| House has been that when IT had the
matter in hand it attended to it too
promptly. That is to say, it denied
hearings to business interests, and
| whipped the bill to the final vote at
! lightning speed. Business everywhere
protested, and turned in such terms to
the Senate for relief, delay there be-
came a pressing duty. Had the House
! taken more time the Senate committee
need not have taken so much. The com
| mittee has been correcting the fruits of
/ the Houses haste

Our Airplane Work.

Fortunately it was possible in adj
vance of actual legislation to press plans
for airplane construction on large
scale, so that now that the law is ac
tually passed there will be no delay in
starting work. During the past weeks
the aircraft production board of the
council of national defense has been
hard at work under the inspiring direc-
ton of Chairman Coffin. 1t has secured
a basis for the settlement of the air
plane patent situation, has in co-opera-
ton with the chief signal officer-him-
self member of the board-evolved a
training plan for aviators and selected
large sites for training fields, has as
sembled the presidents of six military
universities and started as many schools
for the preliminary training of aviator
cadets, has developed standard type of
aviation school buildings, has arranged
for the standardization of type of
training machine, and has developed
type of machine But this is not all.
This board has secured the country in
an inquiry as to the capacities of the
machine shops for the making of air
plane bodies, wings and engines and the
assembling of parts. It is not possible
to speak in detail of what has been ac-
complished but it will doubtless reas-
sure the country to know that while the
legislation has been in process of franz
ing and passage the most effective work
has been accomplished to make the coun-
try ready for the largest airplane pro-
duction and aviator training program
ever undertaken in the world. 1t is re-
ported that the commanding general of
the German aerial forces in a recently
issued interview discounts the prospec-
tive participation of American aviators
in the war, declaring that Americas
present supply of airplanes is negligible
and that the United States must begin
from the beginning There is reason to
believe that even though this may be
true, with the means provided by the
law just enacted the work that will be
done in the next few months will be a
most effective start from a very practi-
cal beginning, and that the results will
show on the west front in France be-
fore the SHOWS have melted from the bat
tlefeids.
