SENATE URGED
TO SPEED UP
ON RAILROADS
McAdoo Declares His Fl.
nancial Plans Retarded
By Long Deliberation.

Speed in passing the administra-
tion's government-railway-operation
bin was begged for yesterday in the
Senate
Senator Martin. the Democratic
leader; Senator Smith. chairman Of
the committee. and Senator'S cummins
and Robinson. two other members,
all Joined In this plea.
Despite McAdoo's earnest plea for
speed. It seemed likely last night that
another month must elapse before
final action on the measure This
will mean two and O. half months
debate on q bill which President Will
son asked be pressed with ell pos
sible expedition"
Chairman Sims, OF the House COM
mittee, said last night he did not
think It would be possible to- get
the bill on the floor before the end
Of next week. possibly Thursday.
Plans Are Halted.
II developed that while the legis-
lation is pending, Director General
McAdoo Il holding UP his financial
plans.
'He telephoned to me-" said Sem
ator Martin, ''and declared that ev-
erythlng was being delayed. I hope
full opportunity will be given for
debate and the bill will be kept in
front as much as possible"
The requests were provoked because
during the speeches of the last few
days there have not been more than
five to fifteen Senators listening. Sem
ator Smith became very much vexed
by this condition and said II It en-
dured, the Senate might as well ad-
journ until the committee meeting
and investigations were concluded.
When Senator Smith said that next
Monday he would try to get consent
for a voting date. Senator Cummins
said he would not give his consent un-
til full debate had been INDUCED in.
Cummins Raps Roads.
Senator Cummins concluded the
speech he began Friday on the bill.
The roads will be paid under the
bill s175. 100000 more than a Just COM
pensation," he asserted. IT will Of
fer an amendment that will not inter-
leEo Win olNluehu payments nor IN
terest on securities, but will cut on
the extra amount.
Il wonder that the railways do not
have vision enough to look forward
to the period after the war. We will
win the war, no matter how long the
struggle. But surely they can see now
what transpires in Russia, what
moves beneath the surface in Ger
many, what causes unrest In Great
| Britain"
The bill will be presented next
week. and 1t is likely a vote will be
reached before Saturday, February

WEEKLY NEWS NOTES

The Executive Committee of the
Farm Bureau met Tuesday night of
this week and passed resolution
recommending that the price for the
1919 crop of wheat be set at $3.50 per
bushel. Copies of this resolution will
be sent To our representatives in
Congress and to our United States
Senators
This action was taken because there
will likely be less wheat sown this
year than last unless there is an in
crease In price.
The scarcity of labor is causing a
number Of farmers to hesitate put
ting in large crop. 1t is well known
that it seldom pays to sow wheat in
this county without fertilizers. Fer
tilizers zre exceedingly high and hard
to get 1t requires high priced ma
chinery to sow, harvest and thresh
wheat Then, when wheat ripens,
there is only limited time to harvest
it. Skilled labor must be had to
shock it or rains will cause it to
sprout and seriously damage it.
There lis just as much profit in rails
ing corn at present prices as in rails
ing wheai, and corn may be produced
with cheaper machinery than wheat
and with less skilled labor. The time
of harvest IL spread over much long
er period and there is much less dam
ger of damage to the crop.
But we must have wheat and lot
of it. If we don't produce more wheat
next year than we did this year we
will be forced to eat twice as much
corn bread as we have this year.
If the risks are too great for farm
ers ITO increase their wheat acreage
at the present price, then let's raise
the price.
