Congress Y sste IT RiS
The War Finance Bill Passed in the Senate in Debate
as Establishing Central Bank Of the United States Virtual
Control Of National Bank Systen-Ihe Railroad Bill as Agreed
on in Conference President as Common Carrier" Un
der the Interstate Commerce Law Controlling Rates.
By W. V. BYARS.

The Senate spent the day yester-
day in developing the danger
points" Of the "war finance bill" 1t
has been doing this continuously
since the bill was first reported. 1t
did it with emphasis. The sum total
of its argument is that the bill has
possibilities of the worst in 1t, and
that, at best, it is one OF the mosI
dangerous measures for controlling
money and business ever proposed.
In the Senate yesterday this was
further summed, when the bill was
said to create money trust" with
unlimited power. The supporters OF
the bill did not really attempt to de-
fend it on any economic ground.
They retreated from every attack
made on economic grounds. They
did not argue against any one who
charged that the bill was radically
unsound from every standpoint of
economy. They offered only one plea
NECESSITY. And they made no
real attempt to demonstrate that.
In conclusion, they voted for the
passage of the bill, SEVENTY
FOUR to THREE. The three Sena-
tors who represented in vHting the
profound convictions which had been
expressed by others IN eloquence
only were WARREN G. HARDING,
of Ohio. Republican; THOMAS W.
HARDWICK, of Georgia, Democrat,
and LAWRENCE Y. SHERMAN, of
Illinois, Republican. If the Senate
wishes to show its respect for the
principles which it has said are more
respectable than anything except
NECESSITY, it may find some way
OF honoring these three Americans
whom Necessity itself could not COM
pei to surrender.
The bill Will certainly pass the
House. It has been held under con-
siGeration in the House Ways and
Means Committee, pending action in
the Senate. The House bill, as re-
ported out for passage, may be eX-
pected to differ from the Senate
bill as passed. Points of essential
difference may be expected to re-
main in the House bill as passed.
Then, as in the case of the railroad
bill, on which agreement was
reached yesterday in conference, the
compromise reached will leave See
retaray McAdoo's main points I'M
touched, with compromises on mat
tiers of method.
The most important change made
by the Senate in the war finance bill
was radical in itself, but purely in
a matter of method. The original
method, to be applied in the con-

troll Of securities for "non-essential
industries" was coercive in the ex-
IRENE. 1t treated as felons all who
disregarded the orders of a licens-
ing board of tissue" This coercive
power and the licensing power were
stricken out of the bill as passed.
1t had been called "the big stick in
the background" The power Of the
board to disapprove any business of
Importance as non-essential, and so
to prevent it from obtaining bank
credits in marketing its securities,
had been called "the blacklist. {"
This blacklist" remains a feature
of the purely voluntary method" of
regulating "non-essential indus
tries" left in the bill.
1t was interpreted to apply TO
State and municipal bonds. An
amendment specially excepting the
bonds of a Sovereign State" was
proposed by Senator Sterling. Sem
ator Norris and others supported It,
while inheritors of the tradition of
Estate rights" sat silent. It was
voted down. The bill as passed Gre
ates a central war bank, owned nv
the United States, with a capital Of
half a billion dollars in cash and
power to issue four billions in bonds
to be used at discretion in "reliev-
ing" corporations and firms which
are decided to be worthy of this re-
lief from the taxpayers. The bill
amends the Federal reserve act" in
directly, but radically. Final debate
on it was really a contest between
the Finance and Banking and Cur
rency committees Of the Senate, the
latter representing the Federal re-
serve act and the system which is
now to be put virtually under control
Of the new Central War Bank.
The Senate adopted a series IF val
liable operating amendments, includ-
ing reservation Of its own powers of
confirming or rejecting board men,

She Cooked the Cabbage.

An amusing little incident was
told on one of the Waukon ladies,
one who has always been enthusiast
tic and patriotic. She went to the
grocery for dinner supplies the day
the peace news was received, and in
her excitement she not only procured
what she went after but picked up a
paper sack containing a nice large
head of cabbage and took it home
also. She did not discover what she
had done until the odor of cabbage
began to prevail in the kitchen.
which reminded her that she had
not ordered any cabbage. And then
it dawned on her patriotic. soul that
she had dressed the cabbage, sliced
it and put it on to cook, while her
naind was being confused with the
matters of peace and war and war
and peace. She has son in the navy
and her actions as regards the cab
bage will readily be excused, for we
are betting big odds that her mind
was rightly on the blessed boy more
than on the cabbage or any other
part of the characterization Demo-
erat.

CRIPPLEs' JOBS.
,4S1 Different Kinds Are Open, Ac.
cording to Red Cross Survey i'm
the United States.

Recent surveys by the Red Cross
Institute for Croppled and Disabled
Men have brought out THAT the field
open for reestablishment of such men
in industrial life is much wider than
probably is generally supposed.
Investigations of 542 factories since
Jan. l last have received 1908
kinds of jobs open to leg cripples
and 27S open to arm cripples
Careful attention was given sanitar7
conditions and precautions for safety.
The report describes in detail the
processes involved in each casualty
investigated; the advantages and dis
advantages of each for an arm and
lleg cripples, respectively; the wages
paid; the organization of the trade,
and general provisions for the safety
of workers.
The following industries are In
cluded: The piano industry, the
leather industry, the paper goods in
dustry, the shoe industry, sheet
metal goods, the silk industry, cigar
manufacture, drugs and chemicals,
the candy industry, the celluloid in
Idustry, optical goods, and the motion
picture industry.

length of 400 feet. At Monitor
near st. Nazaire, eight berths are
under construction with a total
length of more than 5000 feet.
These, however, do not indicate the
magnitude of the effort of the en-
gineer corps. In this phase of i'm
provement to French ports great
labor has been expended in dredg-
ing operations, repairing French
docks and increasing railway ter
minal facilities. Warehouses having
an aggregate floor area of almost
20, 100000 square feet have been
CONSTRUCTED. This development of
French ports increased facilities to
such an extent that even if the Ger
mans had captured Calais and other
channel ports as they had planned
the allies loss would have been
strategically unimportant.
So largely were facilities in
creased that the English armies
could have had their bases at the
lower French ports if necessary.
In other words, American work in
port construction lessened to a ma
terial degree the value to the Ger
mans of their proposed capture of
the channel ports.

all the allies, the neutrals and the
population of the central empires to
prevent starving resulting in sn-

Japanese Substitute for Milk Salts
factory.

IdctOry.
In Japan there is said to be a sat-
isfactory substitute for milk, just as
for butter. Cows are scarce in Japan
and the people are using an artificial
milk derived from the soy bean.
The bean is first soaked and then
boiled until the liquid turns white,
when they add sugar and phosphate
of potash. The boiling is resumed un-
til the liquid has the appearance of
ordinary condensed milk. When
water is added soy milk is hardly to
be distinguished from fresh cows
milk.
