the adjutant generals office. The

The public utilities commission has
made an appeal to the director gen
eraI Of the railroads to remove the
alleged inequalities in the freight
tariffs proposed under the new rate
schedule. The first step in this d.
rection, in the view of the commits
sion, is the removal of the Missouri
river basing line in fixing freight
rates. It is pointed out that this base
line has always worked to the disad-
vantage of the interior jobbers Of
Kansas and when the new rate SEIZED
ule goes into effect it is asserted that
the business Of these jobbers will be
seriously injured il not entirely ruin
ed, as the carload rates to the Mis-
souri, river and the ess-than-carload
rates to Kansas points will be pro-
portionately lower than the carload
rates to interior jobbing centers and
the less than carload rates to the
same points.

WIDE FOOD POWER

| Sweeping powers to compel food
/ conservation in every American
kitchen are given the President in a
measure introduced by Senator Pom
creme today
The bill is aimed primarily at pro
i, prietOrs Of hotels, restaurants, and
public eating houses. but it also is
broad enough to include domestic
consumers.
Specifically the measure provides
that the President may limit or dis
continue entirely the use, also man
ufacture or distribution of food
stuffs to the extent he deems neces-
| sary from time to time.
Heavy Penalties.
That persons conducting public eat
ing places, manufacturers. carriers,
producers. distributors or other per-
sons who fail to obey the Presidents
orders shall be fined up to $1,000 and
imprisoned up to six years.
That the filing as a part of the
records of the Department of State Of
any regulation issued pursuant to this
act shall be deemed necessary notice
to the public.
That the act shall cease to be in
effect when the war between United
States and Germany is terminated.
Bills To BE Pushed.
Administration bills empowering
Herbert Hoover to enforce wheatless
and meatIess day and stipulate war
bread, il necessary. for the country
have been completed and will be
pushed in both houses.
As drawn by Senator Pomerene
and Congressman Lever, at the sug
gestion and with the aid of Food
Administration Hoover, the measures
provide:
Authority to compel observation of
meatless and wheatless days; license
hotels and restaurants; control mill
ing concerns to increase the flour out
put; power to enforce substitution Of
greater quantities of rye flour and
corn meal for wheat -four; authority
to compel use OF locally manufac.
tured products with a view to elimi-
Mating cross hsuling-another meas
IRE necessary for greater food regu-
alton.

While the AdministI -tIOn declares
he new steps are vital to success

ng the war, there will be a violent,
hough probably not prolonged, fight
