GOVERNMENT CONTROL
BILL PASSED BY HOUSE
Measure Adopted With Only Six
Votes Cast In the Neg
ative.

Washington, March 4.-The bill
to govern federal operation of rail
roads has been passed by the house
by a vote OF 337 to six.
Two Democrats and four Republi-
cans voted against the measure
when the final test came. They were
Thomas, Kentucky, and Gordan,
Ohio, Democrats; and Chandler,
Oklahoma; Denison. Illinois, Hau-
gen, Iowa. and Ramseyer. Iowa, Re-
publicans.
The senate previously had passed
the bill. which now goes to confer
ence for settlement of differences be-
tween the two houses. The house
bill provides for the return OF the
roads to their owners two years af-
ter the war ends instead of in Is
months as the senate draft proposes.
and the house measure vests final
rate fixing authority in the Presi-
dent. while the senate would leave
this power in the Interstate Com
merce commission.
These two sections OF the bill
caused spirited fights in the house
today. Opponents OF these features
won momentary victories when the
bill was discussed in committee OF
the whole, but on final vote propon-
ents marshalled their forces, mostly
on the Democratic side. and sue
ceeded in putting through the bill
with these features intact-as franz
ed by the committee.
An amendment by Representative
Sweet. OF Iowa, giving the rate max
ing power to the Interstate Com
merce commission. was adopted in
committee of the whole, 164 to 157.
This showed almost the full strength
for the amendment as when the vote
was taken on final passage it was
defeated, 165 to 211.
In the committee Of the whole. an
amendment by Representative Esch
Of Wisconsin. to limit tenure after
the war to one year, was adopted

preferably pedigreed seed, from a re.
sponsible plant breeder
4. Make liberal use Of fertilizers
and use manure whenever obtainable
to supplement the fertilizers.
b. Give thorough and frequent cul.
tlVation to the titled crops, preferably
shallow and frequent cultivation.
8. Harvest savingly and protect the
stored crops from pests.
While II Is true that everything the
farmer has to buy is high IN price, IL
IL also true that whatever the farmer
has to sell Is also high In price. The
fertilizer people figure out that their
products have not advanced in price
as much as the price OF crops. and that
AS matter of fact, cotton, corn, pea.
nuts, tobacco and the like will buy
more fertilizer now than ever. Which
being true II follows that II will pay
better now to use ii than formerly,
for the increase for which they are re-
sponsible will be worth more.
Another thing that the farmer must
bear In mind IL he would be sure to
raise a bumper crop and that is, to
place his orders early for everything
that Is to be shipped by rail- The
railroads are hard put to II and do
not AFFORD assurance OF prompt ship
ments. Orders placed late are more
than likely to be too late to be deliv-
cred in time.
Even IL shipping were good, there
would be nothing gained by delay.
Prices are not likely to be lower. In
fertilizers, especially there is q scare
ity OF materials and advancing prices,
making IL improbable that the fertilis,
er will be cheaper.

Upon those whom the United States
has not called from the farm, rests
a great obligation OF feeding and

world The greater the crops the
harder the armies will be able to
strike.
What can hinder the farmer from

No, the market and price prospects
are good.
Will II be for lack Of money or cred
II with which to buy tools, seeds. fer
tilizers or other necessary supplies? :?
No. money is plentiful and credit In
good.
Will ii be for lack OF labor? Labor
Is scarce without doubt. In fact, the
shortage OF labor is practically the
only great obstacle the farmer has to
meet in producing maximum crops II
he could have abundance of labor he
could increase the cultivated acreage
and by proper fertilization he could
bring in very great crop. But in
view OF the lack OF labor what must
he do?
He can do two things to overcome
the labor shortage: First, Increase the
applications OF fertilizers, which will
Increase the yield without enIsraIna
tho cultivated acreage. Second, use
labor saving machinery.
But overcoming the labor shortage
In not all that is necessary to obtain
maximum crops. Here is a schedule
OF important things that must be done
by every farmer to get maximum

To those who know Germany from
nersonal experience, the question
arises as to whether the German peo-
ME. aside from the ruling caste, have
ANYTHING to gain from a final victory
in this war. If there is truth in the
philosophy of Democracy, the answer
must be NO. The German masses
can gain nothing by victory of Ger
man autocracy they have much to
gain from its defeat
Germany is only an expanded Prus-
| sia. and it's curse is militarism. A
German victory would only help this
military autocracy to strengthen IT'S
own position. Seldom has a triumph
ant despot extended the civic rights of
his people. Victory makes an auto
cratic government arrogant and over
bearing. 1t is in defeat that it yields
10 the demands of those who bear the
/ burden.
1t was thus with Prussia in 1906 and
1907; Austria made many reforms
after her crushing defeat in 1866;
France became a real Republic after
the disaster of 1870; Russia awoke
after her humiliation by Japan in
Il 1904. And so it will inevitably be
with Germany.
First, Prussianism the system which
1 declares that citizens exist only for
4 the purposes of the State; which un-
ader apparently democratic forms
makes the Kaiser nearly an absolute
ruler and makes his Army and his
higher officials responsible only to him.
4 The autocratic rule of Prussia is only
possible on account of the steady on
ward march of the military machine
IA defeat of Prussia in 1866 would
! have swept away the whole Prussian
tyranny. Only a defeat will do so
now.
With the Prussian system must stand
land fall-the militaristic system,
\ for the two are one. The essence of it
is military class. with powers dis
tinct from and at many points supe-
griOr to those of the civic authorities,
4 by which it is In no way controlled.
Il 1t is hard TO see how the political
power and personal rights of the or0i-
nary citizen can flourish la eny ma
#tion burdened with such a system.
And it is harder to see how any active
movement for greater political and
personal rights can progress in the
3face of such system triumphant.
q Only defeat can undermine its power.
n Another part of this Prussian sys-
sstern is the caste of civic officials. It's
fgreat curse is that its training tends
to make each man in it a tyrant on a
slsmall scale. And the more important
Imembers of this caste have been
8born into it, or have been drawn in
$50 early, that they know no other life,
land think no other thoughts, than
sthose of this officialdom. There is no
3real contact with the crowd, who are
Hooked upon as only pawns in the
sgreat game played by the State. Ar
.rogant and overbearing as this caste
fis. even in its humblest members, a
Iron County news. [volume] (Hurley, Wis.) 1913-1950, 1918-05-04

German victory would only make 1t
more so. Defeated, it is not too much
to hope that some even of this caste
will realize that they are also made
of common clay.
The Hohenzollern, the Army the
civic officials, the landed nobility
these rule Germany, with little refer
ence to the wishes of the people By
connections of society, marriage, and
business, they form one group, con
sidering itself chosen by God to rule
| Germany-and the world.
Is it wonder the so-called German
Parliament is farce? Practically all
legislation comes to it from the ruling
caste, represented by the Bundesrat.
And it comes usually with clear state
| ment as to what changes in it will be
tolerated. Opposition to Government
proposals, any new proposals inconve-
nient to the Government are usually
met by sneering retort from the Chan.
cellor or one of his Ministers, that
makes one wonder how any man OF
real character can consent to give his
time as a member under such condi-
tions.
tainly not fail to make the Reichstag
even more helpless than 1t is. Based
on the claim that the Prussian system
was the cause of its triumph, it would
greatly increase its efforts to make the
election of democratically minded
members an impossibility. 1t would
more frequently and more resolutely
dictate what the Reichstag could do o;
could not do.
1t will be only after a defeat that
the people themselves will develop
the courage to call for new deal. The
democratic forces are abundant
enough and able enough now, but
those who have come in contact with
them know how hopeless they feel
about achieving any material reforms
in a country that bristles with bayO-
nets.
And finally the tax burden. Mill
tary autocracy and crushing tax go
together; for no state activity costs
so much and produces so little as do
the activities of great standing arm
les. And triumphant Prussia will
surely wish to increase the army, will
claim it necessary to defend the new
territory 1t has seized. And under
the circumstances poor Michel will,
as ever, have no choice but to pay.
If by our efforts we can show that
the Prussian system can be conquered
then may we expect the people OF
Germany to arise in their might and
wipe it out. And then will the way be
clear for that Alliance for Peace, in
the path of which Prussia has for
long been the stumbling block.
But with victorious military au-
tocracy, no such step toward Democ-
racy can be expected. This can be
brought about only by defeat of the
pernicious system that has SO long
dominated Germany, and now has dis
closed its ambition to dominate the
world.
