guaranteed wheat price to $500 was
passed late today bN the senate. 1t

two houses. where there Will be an
other tight over The wheat price.
The wheat price amendment was
adopted 40 to iS after five days dus-
cussion in which its advocates urged
the necessity of stimulating produc~
tion and criticised the governments :
price fixing. The bill. carrying ap-
preparations of s2s,o00,000, was pas
sed without a roll-call, the principal
fight being centerrd on the wheat
price.
Besides meaning the federal guar

NideS that the guaranteed price for
the 1913 crops shall be based upon
No. 2 northern wheat or its equNa-
lent. instead of the No. variety. as
under the existing law. and shall .,e
payable at the local elevators or rail

These provisions are designed to in

Another provision is that the guar

PATERNALISTIC PERIL

New York Journal Of Commerce:
The political dangers of too great
expansion Of government functions
have frequently been described, and
there is no reason for feeling that
this point of view has been exagger.
ated in the past. In war, it has al
ways been felt that there might prop
erly be relaxation of the objection
to extreme government enterprise
that would otherwise be entertained.
This feeling that, in time Of war, 1t
is well to abandon dogmatic preju-
dice and place expediency and eff
cheney above other considerations, is
believed to account for the remark
able readiness with which the public
has SO generally assented to the
changes that have come in conse-
quence Of the expansion of the indus
try since the reorganization of the
country on a war basis. The imme-
date cause of anxiety is seen in the
fact that, as now generally recog-
nized. 1t is probable that the present
paternalistic situation will be con-
tinued in modified form long after the
war. during the time of transition
and reorganization which is expected
to ensue upon the conclusion of the
contest. How long this transition
period will last Is of course purely
conjectural, although there is an evil
dent disposition to believe that 1t may
be continued for good while. That

some persons desire that 1t should

that during it's continuance there
should be changes which will be diff
cult to cancel is likewise becoming
evident. There has been DISPOSE
ton ever since the United States en-
tered the war to urge reforms and In
novations simply because they were
believed by their advocates to be de-
sirable. the war being seized upon as
presenting an opportunity for adyo-
eating and securing them.
There Is, as already suggested,
some Indication of reaction Of feel
ing with respect to government own
ership and operation, and some dis
position to attempt to put the brakes
upon further legislation looking in
the same direction.
The present tendency Of public
sentiment would appear likely to
bring about discussion OF the ques-
ton of public ownership and thresh-
ing out of the issues connected with
It as soon as the war situation will
permit such discussion to be under
taken without entailing the charge Of
lack of patriotism upon those who
participate In the consideration OF the
subject. The actual decision OF the
issue clearly is still long way of
