gave opportunity for legislation of q
broad and constructive kind" The
purpose of Section Is was to give
opportunity for broad and construc-
tive legislation. AS understood by
railroad lawyers. what kind Is It?
Both Senate and House adjourned
after brief sessions, in respect for
the memory of the late Senator James
H. Brady of Idaho. While no one
around the Capitol seems to be un-
der high pressure, the strain of the
war is in fact deadly. These i'm
mediate adjournments are only too
likely to be continued.
Before the adjournment of the
House, Lenroot of Wisconsin outlined
what is likely to be the general
movement of the Republicans in
turning the Administrations flank,
when the decisive moment comes. 1t
is likely to be an omnibus denial in
the case of taking over railroads"
and everything of the kind. that it
is done by authority of law"
The probability is that the defense
will show that taking over" is
merely a popular phrase, for which
it is not responsible in its work of
"unifying and co-ordinating" while
taking possession and control under
general war powers, conferred and
implied.
Experts who expect to keep up
with politics after the war would
better begin supplying themselves
with larger dictionaries now. New
and old law and political terms are
going to sweep across the entangle-
T. nts in front of the trenches, mixed
together as if they came from ma
chine guns.
Secretary of the Interior Lane ap-
peared before the Senate Commit
tee on Manufactures and explained
the fixing of coal prices after the
panic or imaginative" or psyche
logical alarm" prices of last June.
AS he regulated prices, or under
took to do so, they were much lower
than the psychological alarm prices.
He was followed on the stand by
F. S. Peabody himself, putative au-
thor of the now famous Peabody
prices" AS he owns or controls
fourteen mines in the great Illinois
coal fields. he explained that the
fuel administration prices Of the
present were stimulating him to get
out and sell every bushel of coal he
possibly could. He did not say he
had ever been stimulated thus by
ordinary market prices. He ad-
mitted (or explained), in answer to
questions, that the fuel administra-
ton prices for slack coal used in
great public utility plants were cal
culated to cause bankruptcy. This
was supposed to be a result of not
knowing the situation, as it followed
the period of psychological alarm,
when, Mr.. Peabody admitted Tor ex-
plained), that operators with coal to
sell sold all they could at all they
could get for it, even if the psyche |
logical prices were beyond what had
been their utmost hopes. Psychol- |
ogy applied to coal keeps a dear
school, but perhaps consumers will
learn in no other.

Senator Cummins went on record
against the bill on this point. In
answer to his question of whether
Congress. in time of peace, would
give a single man absolute power
over transportation. Commissioner
Anderson said he thought it would
not. He defined the purposes of the
bill as operation for the railroads
and stabilization for the securities
market
The Washington times., 1918-01-15

Before the House committee. ]. +.
Wettling, of the Bureau OF Railway
Economics, touched incidentally on
what is one of the sorest points with
railway managers. In fifteen years
railroads in Chicago had been COM
pelled to spend $l9.00O.OOO in rails
ing their tracks. This is charged in
as "betterments" when. along with
many other similar forced expendi-
lures. the witness explained that II
did not bring In additional income.
The Washington times., 1918-01-15

Will the Anderson bill stop these
compulsory "betterments, as the
States and great cities now force
them? Mr.. Anderson is of the Opin-
ion that the powers exercised
by the State will continue. OF
course. But something indefinite
he did not put into the record
is likely to occur, if the powers ot
the States and municipalities are
shown to be unreasonable by their
results. In short. the question is
whether the powers Of the States
and their cities must be exercised
only under Federal license.
The Washington times., 1918-01-15

Take out Section 13 and the rail-
road control bill might be entitled
AN Act for the Relief and Co-ordlna-
ton OF the Railroads and for Other
Purposes" 1t would then remain
chiefly an act for compensating and
relieving railroads from the results
OF temporary possession and con-
troll as exercised now, before the
passage of the bill.
The Washington times., 1918-01-15

Commissioner Anderson deposed
at length on this section before the
Senate Interstate Commerce Com
mittee yesterday. There was moth
ing put on record to weaken the
opinion that if the bill passes with
this section in it, it will remain a
law, binding as any other act of
Congress you'd be. until repealed
or amended.
The Washington times., 1918-01-15

Senator Cummins of Iowa and
G. W. Anderson, of the Interstate
Commerce Commission. exchanged
opinions to some purpose yester-
day. They were opinions on the
future of the United States as in
volved in actual OWNERSHIP of
railroads as ownership differs from
possession and control"

Whatever other blessings peace may
bring. 1t will not bring instant relief
to the masses who are now distressed
by food shortage and its natural con-
sequence. high prices. There will be
as many mouths to feed when the ar
niles are demobilized as there are now.
says New Republic. II is true that the
fare Of the soldiers In most European
countries Is more liberal than that Of
the civil population. but no statesman
will take comfort In the prospect of
masses of disbanded soldiers reduced
to the level Of civil undernourishment.
And besides. the civil populations that
are now enduring semi-starvation I'M
complainingly, recognizing that no re-
lief can be expected while the energies
Of their government are engrossed by
war. will be far less patient when
peace returns. More food, not less,
will be required In peace.

This new law Is modelled somewhat af
ter those in force In New Jersey and
Maryland, applying to all able-bodIed
men between the ages Of eighteen and
fifty. The purpose Of the law is to
put the non-milltary man power of the
country to work, and 1t should be en-
forced In every state In the Union. says
Washington Star. Loafing. idllng, re-
fusal to take q hand In some useful

Of occupation. There is work for ev-

FUTURE OF WOOL INDUSTRY

The sheep and wool Industry are
vital to the life of the nation from
the standpoint OF food and clothing
After-war conditions are going to
place hard strain on this Joint in.
dustry and stability OF prices is very
important.
The normal clip of wool in orr
country is from 100000, 900 to 300
100000 pounds year, and we i'm
port as much more.
There has been some accumulation
OF foreign woods on account of sus-
pended trade with the Central DOW
ers and lack of shipping.
The great duty before the people
OF our country is to hold and enlarge
hooks and supply more wool and
mutton for market.
We should produce 100000. O0O
pounds year and the Industry sbopId
De on the up grade instead OF do
Ginning in production.
The government should stebi,,za
prices for at least two years and
continue the present warehousine and
system of handling.

Native hay packs more closely. the
usual figure being 422 cubic feet for
one ton in a well-settled stack.
There are three general methods
of arriving at the number of cubic
feet in the stack. All three methods
require the width, length and over
measurement. The latter is the dis
lance from the ground on one side.
straight over the top to the ground
on the other side. Where stacks are
irregular it is best to secure a num-
Der of measurements for the width
and length and over-measuremen
and use the average.
Rule 1-One-fourth of the lover"
multiplied by the width, then null
tiplied by the length and divided by
the required nullber of cubic feet to
make one ton. This rule gives accur-
ate figures on small, squat stacks
when the width is from one-third to
one-half of the over"
Last fall an experiment station
bought 1856 tons by the use Of this
rule and when weighed out 1t weigh
ed 1918 tons.
Rule 2-Substract the width from
the over. Multiply one-half the re-
suit by the width; multiply the pro-
duct by the length; divide by the
number Of cubic feet required to
make one ton. This rule Is most ac-
curate when the width exceeds one
half the over
Rule 3 Government rule)-Width
plus over divided by four ana
squared; then multiplied by length
and divided by the number of cubic
feet required to make one ton. This
rule is satisfactory for large, tall
stacks from 25 to As tons, and favors
the seller with ordinary. small squat
stacks.

RULES FOR MEASURING HAY.

In the measurement of hay there
are two points to be considered.
These are the number of cubic feet
required to make one ton and the
method of determining the number
of cubic feet required to make one
ton and the method of determining
the number of cubic feet In the
stack.
The following table gives the num-
Der of cubic feet required to make
one ton of alfalfa at various seasons
of settling, these figures being ac-
cepted as fair amounts to allow for
a ton:
