TO PREVENT MANIPULATION

Perhaps the strongest argument
that was made against the food con-
troll bill was that it is unfair to sin
gle out the farmer and his product
for regulation and leave other pro-
ducers. some of whom have made
enormous profits out of the war, en-
tirely free to add still further to their
incomes. To meet that condition Con-
gresham C. William Ramseyer of
Iowa has introduced a bill, drawn
along lines similar to the food bill
that will apply to iron, steel, copper,
lumber, cotton, wool, hemp, leather
and petroleum. 1t has been charged
that the market of many of the prod
ucts mentioned has been so manipu-
lated as to bring in exorbitant pro-
fits to spectators, and it is Mr.. Ram
seyer's purpose to endeavor to rem
edy the situation in the same manner
as the food problem will be handled.

THE CORN

Some time ago President Wilson
established an information bureau at
the head of which he placed Mr.. Geo.
Creel, a magazine writer who had
been connected with the Democratic
press bureau during the last cam
paign. There was some criticism of
the appointment on two counts-that
it was a partisan political appoint
ment in a matter which should be free
from partisanship, and that Creel was
not the proper person to place in
charge, as his work had been chiefly
in magazine rather than in newspaper
writing. Those people who criticized
the appointment were condemned as
"carping." Now, however. the Secre-
tary of War has become dissatisfied
with some OF the information Creel
has given out and has appointed a
censor of his own. Two departments
now have their own censors. The
original criticisms were evidently not
so "carping" after all.

WOULD CATCH
ALLY SLACKERS

A measure that will appeal to the
of justice of all the people has
been presented to the House by Rep
resentative Fred A. Britten of Illinois.
1t makes all persons who are sub
jects of a country with which the
United States is also at war liable to
be drafted into the military service Of
their native land. The Secretary of
War is authorized to make regula-
tions for the operation of such a
draft. The passage of Congressman
Britten's measure would effectually
take care of the foreign residents IN
this country who have come to our
shores to escape their military duties
abroad. and compel them to assist in
the defense of our country. which has
offered its protection to them.

O
,PARTISANSHIP

Another Republican answer to the
Democratic plea that Democrats must
be sent to Congress in order to in
sure that that body will stand by the
President is given by Representative
c. Bascom Slemp of Virginia.
II voted for the declaration of war;
declares Mr.. Slemp, "and | favor the
adoption Of every measure that will
make for efficiency in the conduct of
the war"
He realizes that the al cannot be
conducted successfully without on
centration of authority. Congress
cannot wage the a They a only
clothe the President with ample pow
ers for that purpose, and Mr.. Slemp
makes it plain that he will consent
to no handicap being placed in the
way of the executive.

MORE ARTIFICIAL DEVICES

The proposal that the price of Lib
erty bonds on the stock exchange be
"pegged" at par has a basis of senti-
ment that does credit to its origina-
tors. But it also implies a certain
lack of confidence in the bonds which
is not warranted, and it is of a piece
with the attempts so constantly being
made in Congress to fix prices of al
most everything by fiat of legislation.
The price of government bonds has
little or nothing to do with any prac-
teal problem involved in winning the
war. Bonds in the Civil War period
sold at varying prices without dam
age to the nations credit. There is
an idea abroad in the land that artif-
cial devices may be employed to ad-
vantage in every activity. and the
consequence is that all sorts of re-
straints upon the free exercise Of
individual initiative and enterprise
r being advocated as war measures

WORK FOR TARTTF
COMMISSION
measures.

In the opinion of Representative
Nicholas Longworth of Ohio, the food
control bill offers a rare opportunity
for the tariff commission to get in
some good work. The measure con-
tains a provision that, in case the inn
portation of an article is found to
interfere with any price guaranteed
by the bill, the President may raise
the duty on that article so as TO
bring the imported price up to the
guaranteed price. Mr.. Longworth of
fered an amendment that it should be
the duty of the tariff commission to
ascertain in such cases what the
proper rate of duty should be.
IF the tariff commission as it ex-
lists today" declares Mr.. Longworth,
"is worth its salt, it ought to be able
to do just this precise thing that in
this law you commit to the Presi-
dent"
It was contended by the Democratic
leader, however, that the general
plan of the bill might be destroyed if
the amendment was agreed to, and he
secured its rejection.

WOULD INCREASE
GRAIN PRODUCTION

When the House had under consid-
Grafton the bill appropriating $780,
600. 900 to be expended by the Presi-
dent to purchase or provide for the
production of the n~ecessaries of life,
Representative Sinnott of Oregon Of
fered an amendment providing that
not to exceed 500, 600, 900 of the sum
might be expended, in the discretion
of the President, on reclamation prof
ects, under the terms of the general
reclamation act. Sinnott's argument
was that formers are now filling all
lands susceptible of cultivation, and
that increased production can be best
attained by providing for the irriga-
ton of lands now arid. He presented
figures showing that in his own dis
trict alone there are a million acres
of arid land susceptible of irrigation,
which, if watered, would produce 49,
900, 900 bushels of wheat per year, or
a quantity equal to one-fifteenth of
the total American crop last year.
But the presiding officer-a Demo-
crat, of course-thought the amend
ment not germane and it was ruled
out of order.
The silver state. [volume] (Winnemucca, Nev.) 1909-1925, 1917-07-14

said that at a time when the govern
ment is drafting engineers from civil
life, none of the government engi-
neers should be employed in making
new river and harbor surveys unless
the improvement contemplated is IN
questionably necessary as a war ef-
pedient. Representative Lenroot OF
Wisconsin offered an amendment EN-
bodying this idea and it was adopted.
This is one of many instances ! II
which Republicans have offered yalu-
able amendments TO administrative
measures.

Believe in Tomorrow.

The essence of optimism is a belief
in tomorrow. If you believe in to-
morrow, you will not hurry to get
things done, but will accommodate
your ardor to the pace of the deliber-
ate universe. And if you do not be-
lieve in tomorrow, why hasten to get
things done? For if there is to be no
tomorrow, what you do amounts to
nothing.

Blessed Smiles.

The good-natured mar is not only a

whom he comes In contact. He makes
life seem possible when the surround

cheer to enter into the dreary drudgery
of everyday trials and difficulties. If
he is the head of the firm he gets more
from his men with a smile than he
would with a crouch. He knows that
keeping good-natured keeps him on the
high pedestal.

de-lis, or flower-de-luce of the French
coat of arms, but really has nothing
to do with the design, this being of re-
cent application. The origin of the
design is not known, but it is gener-
ally believed to represent the head of

1t is often necessary to keep a hat
box on a high shelf. In that case the
following method is found convenient.
Slit the two upright edges of one side
of the box so that when the cover is
raised this side will drop down as if
on hinges. This, of course, allows the
hat to be removed without taking the
box from the shelf.
