Governor Alexander has again rec
commended a reduction of the interest
on state loans, on the pretext that the
state can not get the money out at
the present rate. Acting through half
a dozen farmers in sthe county, the
Press will guarantee within ninety
days to loan every dollar the state
now has on hand TO Power county
farmers if the state land board will
make appraisements and act on loans
within thirty days after the applica-
tons are filed. The fault is not with
the interest rate. which is six per
cent, but because business methods
are not applied in the making of loans.
The system is wrong, and so are the
men who perpetuate it.

ORDERS WAR COUNCIL
Sec. Bakers Step May Be Due T,
Reve ve'ations.


Washington, Dec. 16-Washing
ton began today to see additiona
significance in the announcement by
Secretary Baker last night that he
had issued an order forming War
Council within the War Department
with himself at the head and Assist
ant Secretary of War and five gener-
al officers composing the additional
personnel
In some quarters the creation OF
the War Council is looked upon as
direct outgrowth of the revelations
made to the Senate Committee on
Military Affairs by the Chief of Or
dnance concerning lack of guns and
small arms, and the prospect that
there will BIZ additional revelations
in regard to other delinquencies in
military preparation as the inquiry
proceeds. But interest was centered
today in, the significance OF a. SEN
tence in Secretary Bakers statement
indicating that the general officers as
signed to the War Council, all of
whom are bureau chiefs of the War
Department would be freed from
administrative duties and RESPONSE
bilities
n addition to the Secretary and
the Assistant Secretary of War; the
members Of the War Council are Gen
eral Tasker II Bliss, chief of the gen
eral Staff; Major Gen. Henry G.
Sharpe. Quartermaster General Maj
or Gen Erasmus NJ. Weaver Chiefro
Artillery; Major Gen William Croz-
ier, Chief OF Ordnance. and Major Gen,
Enoch II. Crowder, Judge Advocate
General and Provost Marshall Gen
eral
1t is known that the secrtary Of war
has a high opinion of the ability and
capacity of several OF these officers
but the idea is prevalent in Washing
ton that the council was formed part
ly to permit the assignment of other
officers to corps of bureaus in order
to bring about new deal in the ad-
ministration o. the military establish
ment
Although Secretary Baker says in
his statement that the plans for ,he
creation of the war council have been
under consideration for some weeks,
this has not served to dissipate the
view that the announcement of It's
formation was directly the result OF
the Developments before the Senate
Military Committee. II is likely that
before the committee shearings have
proceeded yery far Senators will be-
gin to ask what measures were taken
to coordinate the work OF the war
department or to provide for confer
ences between the Secretary Of War
and those high ranking officers in
charge of war activities. The crea-
ton of the War Council would partly
meet criticism arising from inquiry
along that line.

Sanitary Fountains.

An investigation of drinking foun-
tains ,at the University of Minnesota
carried out by the state board of
health. led to the rather startling re-
suit that the II fountains in use at
the university, most of which belonged
TO various supposedly Sanitary types
were found to be improperly construct
ed to prevent contamination by the
consumer, according to the Scientific
American. The principal defect was
the vertical discharge of the water,
making it necessary for the consumer
TO place his mouth directly over the
point of discharge. 1t was found that
the majority of persons drank with the
lips touching the nozzle. The inyesti-
gators devised new type of fountain
in which the discharge is at such an
angle that there is no possibility of
water falling back from the mouth up
on or near the orifice.

Seattle Becomes Island.

They have been making Seattle look
something like New York, only in the
process Seattle gets water front of
more than 130 miles as against New
York's 43 (that is, Manhattan's), says

"bound" Seattle like this: Seattle
is bounded on the east by Lake Wash
ington, deep fresh water about %
miles long and three to five wide; on
the south and west by Puget Sound
(salt); and on the north by the new
deep water lock canal. completed at n
total cost of nearly $5,000000. to say
nothing of the cost of regarding the
streets, building new bridges and do
ing other things to adjust the city to
the change" The change includes the
dredging of the new waterway to Lake
Union in the very heart of Seattle. The
two lakes named are nine feet above
the waters of the sound at high tide.
The new canal will take the largest
r,crchant ships afloat, which is doing
enough, for it's only the ships afioat
that count.
