The suggestion that an Ameri-
can naval mission should be sent
to England to study the British
plan of sea campaign is put for
ward in forgetfulness of the fac,
that Admiral Sims. one of the
Keenest of our naval officers, is
already in British waters with ar
American mosquito fleet, where
he has unexampled opportunities
for seeing what the British ships
are doing, of hearing from Brit
ish officers of the Admir.Itv's
plans, and of making those de-
ductions for which acute-minded
Americans are famous. No doubt
it would be d pleasing jaunt for
some admirals to go abroad to
study British naval tactils-but
would it be worth the money?

1t is surprising with what pa
tient endurance the Republican S
of the country observe the per-
sistent efforts of the Democratic
press to convey the impression
that Republicans are hampering
the administration. AS matter
of fact, Republican states were
most prompt in supplying men
for the army and navy, in sub
scribing fer liberty konds and in
making Red Cross contributions.
The chief obstruction to war
measures in Congress has come
from Democrats. Republicans
should let the real facts be
known.

That the new systems Of tax
alton which are being rcsorted to
by the govt rnmeLt are beginning
to encroach heavily on the sour
ces heretofore relied upon by the
states to produce their revenue
is the opinion of Senator William
P. Dillingham; of Vermont. E.
pecialIy is this tue in regard t."
the Inheritance tax, which the
states long have looked upon a.
their special field of taXatior. =.
Mr.. Dillingham; believes it wa
the understanding among tn,
people of Vermont, and with the
legislature when the income tax
amendment to the constitution
was adopted by that state, that
inheritance taxes would not be
levied by the federal government
except in cases of emergency.
Resolutions adopted by the Yer
mont legislature as long ago as
last March, before the huge taxes
now in contemplation were even
thought of, have been presented
to the Senate by Mr.. Dillingham;,
in which a special congress Of the
states is proposed with the object
of urging upon the Congress the
adoption OF a definite policy in the
segregation of state and federal
revenue.

Political Gossip.
The Columbus papers state that
bread makers say that the high
bread prices are to remain for
two months. Then they will pro-
badly stop ringing the cash reg
listers long enough to say that
the big price and the small loaf
will last another couple of months
longer.
1t is merely a coincidence, Cf
course, but a reasonable number
of Washington appointees seem
to be fortunate in making money,
The consumer asked for cheap
bread and he got a stun.
Many people who are joy rid
ing now in the hectic prosperity
of war, not knowing or caring
how the money is being spent,
will take some interest later on
when the bill has to be paid.
Now that the government has
fixed the price of wheat to the
satisfaction of the farmer, it is
reasonable to ask that it fix the
plice of bread to the satisfaction
of the consumer.
If the government is going to
tax luxuries it ought to get after
the Democratic party in Ohio.
The hole in the state treasury
shows that a Democratic admin
lstration in Ohio is again, as al
ways, a luxury.
The one thousand dollars that
was to have Eeen wasted on a
so-called state song seems to have
been conserved.
A Democratic administration
always winds up in a deficit.
Isn't it the truth?
From the trend of the political
fortunes of Governor Cox it looks
ike Harvey CARRIER capitulated
ust one year too soon. The third
,ime would have got him sure.
Here is a thought or two from
he Saturday Evening Post: But
IN immense number of persons
Who pay the increased Irice are
lnable to hand it on TO the next |
n line. Salaries do not increase
n proportion to The rise in COM
nodity prices: nor, in many cas-
IS do wages" 1t seems to US |
hat we have noticed something |

The amendment is directed to the
Senate bill, but it is likely that
the House bill will be considered
in the Senate before the Senate
bill can be taken up, as action by
the House is expected at an early
date. In that evept Mr.. Watson
will endeavor to incorporate his
proposition in the House bill.
To provide a means for closer

during the prevalence of high pri-
ces, Representative George H.
Tinkham of Massachusetts pro

which the Director of the Mint is
given wide latitude in the seloc-
tion of the design, diameter,
weight and composition of the
new coin. All of the federal laws
applicable to the minor coins Of
the United States are made by
Mr.. Tinkham to apply to the 6
cent pieces. The measure has
been referred to the committee
on Coinage, Weights, and Meas
uress which is expected to give it
atteetion as soon as the House re-
sumes the consideration of gen.

GRADING ACT
REPEAL Seen
Dissatisfaction With Fed
eral Act Brings Move
McCumber Has Plan

Washington, Oct. 2.-Dissatisfac-
ton over the department Of agricul-
lures wheat grading regulations and
standards probably will result in an
attempt to repeal the law enacted at
at SiXty-fourth session.
The farmers of North Dakota are
responsible for the federal grading
law. They objected to the Minnesota
laws and the rules OF the Minneapo-
lis Chamber OF Commerce and ap-
pealed to congress. They got what
they wanted enacted into law, but
administered the law as they ex-
pected.
The report is being circulated that
the food administration wheat corr
poration officials at once realized the
inequalities of the standards and
would have complied entirely with
Governor Burnquist's request for
suspension during the war but for
fear that a delicate situation be-
tween government departments
might be created.
While the lower grades have been
taken care Of under the ruling of a
week ago no provision is made for
the better grades. Senator Porter ].
MCCumber has taken the subject up
with the bureau Of markets. He has
asked that the farmer be paid for his
wheat on the grade it makes after
dockage has been deducted. Under
the present system the grade is low
cred as dockage increases and he OBJ
tains no better grade on the reduced
amount of wheat.

MADOO SPEAKS
AT INDIANAPOLIS
When War Comes To Ma
ton First Essential Is
Money Says Secretary
CBy Associated Press.l

Indianapolis, Ind, Oct. William
g. McAdoo, secretary Of the treas
ury, arrived here today on his speech
making tour for the second Liberty
Loan. He will address a mass meet
ing to be held Immediately after a
parade at noon.
when war comes to a nation, the
first essential is money, said Secre-
tary McAdoo in his talk to the Liber-
ty Loan workers. I'VE must keep
our soldiers and sailors armed and
equipped with the best that money
can buy and American skill devise.
We destroy their instability and
conscript almost the whole Of their
earning power when we draft them
and send them to the front. We can
do no less than restitute their de-
stroyed instability and their
diminished earning power.
we must increase, strengthen and
maintain our navy; provide a PREF
dominant fleet of aeroplanes aid air
fighters; build a great merchant
fleet, succor our noble Compatriots
in arms-by sending them money
with which they can buy arms and
food and other supplies in our mar
kets. All the things must be done
and done quickly.
United States that every demand in
time Of war focuses, because every
thing goes back to the gold pile. The
problem of the American treasury is
the problem of the American banker
and the problem Of the American
people"
Should a single loan offered by the
United States government fail 1t
would have worse effect than the
loss Of a great battle: Mr. McAdoo
said.
In opening his address, Mr.. McAdoo
dwelt at length upon the murder Of
Americans by the Germans, and the
order of the kaiser to the United
States to keep out of certain parts Of
the ocean, which, he said, if obeyed,
might have been followed with an
other order to stay within the three
mile limit" of the American coast.
Such an order, Mr.. McAdoo declared,
would have brought disaster to the
American people because of the stag
nation of business. The two objects
Of entering the war, he said, were to
vindicate American rights and while
doing that achieve the altruistic
ideals for which we contend.
He declared that he wanted the
fighting forces to know that every
American dollar is back Of them and
that we are just as willing to sacri-
flee all our money as they are willing
to sacrifice their lives for u.s..

Oats FIRMER;
CORN Is WEAK
Assurance That Bulk Of
Crop Escaped the Frost
Brings Lower Prices
(Bv Associated Press.l

Chicago, Oct. 2. - Unfavorable
weather gave comparative firmness to
oats Fluctuations were narrow End
trade light.
Big reductions in western stocks
of meats rallied the provision market
from an early break. The initial
heaviness was due to lower quotations
on hogs.
Increasing assurance that the bulk
of the corn crop has escaped all seri-
Gus danger from frost tended today to
bring about a sag in prices, but the
scantiness of present supplies acted
as a check on weakness. Opening
quotations, which ranged from the
same as yesterdays finish to nc lower
at 11SA to 11Sh December and 115B
to 115A May, were followed by
moderate setback all around.
Reports that Texas was absorbing
all the Mississippi offerings of new
corn and that the effects OF the Texas
drought were being felt led afterward
to a decided hardening of values. The
close was firm, V to &c net higher
at 119B December and 1853 May.
