CENTRALIZE POWER
New Official Would Assume

troll of all war supplies in the United
States was advocated today before the
senate military committee by Daniel f.
Willard. chairman of the war Industries
board. ana Bernard NJ. Baruch. head
of the boards raw material division.
Both favored creating what virtually

cabinet. to control procurement and
distribution Of war supplies. including
those for the army. tho navy. ship
building and the allies.
Don't Favor Nav Cabinet Member.
Neither Mr.. Willard nor Mr.. Baruch
favored separate department of mu-
nitions with a cabinet officer at it's
head. the plan proposed by Senator
Chamberlain. chairman or the commit
tee and opposed by both President
Wilson and Secretary Baker. Mr..
willard endorsed the war department
and government supply purchasing re-
organization plan submitted last week
by Secretary Baker, though he said 1t
does not 10 far enough In centralixipg
authority and IL weak In reliance on
voluntary cooperation.
Mr.. Baruch favored even more highly
centralized authority over munitions In
an individual advocating n Plan broad
or than that employed In England. He
frankly disagreed with Secretary
Baker regarding the reorganization
proposed by tho latter and insisted that

Of Their Support.
PATRIOTISM DOMINATE
Adopt Resolution Protesting
Against Proposed Advance
in Grazing Fees.

Salt Lake. Jan. 1.-THE American
National Livestock association and the
livestock producers of the United
States represented by it, are patriot
icaily back of the government and its
military forces, to the eud that the
great world war may be won for lib
erty and justice.
This Ing brief Is the message sent to-
day FROM The twenty first annual con-
vention of the National Livestock as
John ]. Pershing, commander OF the
France.
I Patriotism Key Note.
i Patriotism was the predominant
chord in the proceedings of the CON
.Sention and was the keynote of every
address delivered before the opening
President l.. +. Pryor In his
annual address declared that the live
stock men ask nothing from the gov
eminent but a fair profit upon their
product and that they be not expect
ed To produce II at a loss. The presi-
ready and willing to do all In their
dent declared the livestock men are
power to meet the demand of the gov
eminent for increased production and
only ask that the government in return
give the consideration necessary to en-
courage them in accomplishing this.
Protest Grazing Fees.
AT q joint session of the national ad-
visory board the committee on federal
reserve and grazing lands and the
committee ON predatory wild animals
resolutions We're adopted protesting
against any proposed advances In graz
ing fees, asking for certain alterations
in the grazing regulations pertaining
to forest reserves and calling upon con-
gress for an appropriation of 100000
for immediate use by the biological
survey in the determination OF de-
structive animals.
The executive committee Of the ma
tional organization through President
Prior telegraphed to Secretary Houston
of the department of agriculture ask
ing him to prevent the opening OF the
Juarez packing plant at Juarez, Mex.
The telegram to Mr.. Houston says:
Protest to Houston.
I'VE have reliable information that
the Juarez, Mex, packing plant is about
to resume operation. We believe the
prime object OF this move Is To furnish
"a market for confscated cattle that IL
would not be saie to import on hoof
because the OWNER could identify the
animal which Is impossible II dressed
as beef The opening of the plant
means the confiscation of American
cattle located in Mexico. Hope you
can find way TO stop it,"
A similar telegram was sent to the
collector of customs at III Paso. Texas.

other towns and townships in the
county Were about right. 1t was
finally agreed that settlement would
be made on a basis of $1,000 for this
district. Of this amount the local
branch is entitled to retain 25 per cent,
and the $3.50 has been placed in the
bank to the credit of the national war
fund subject to demand by the county
chairman. 1t will be disbursed in
four payments starting July first.
When the sale is viewed from every

SEVERAL HOUSES DEMOLISHED
NO INJURIES TO PERSONS RE-
PORTED-KANDOTA TOWN
SHIP SUFFERS MOST.

A tornado, which swept the entire
middle west left it's calling card in the
Sank Centre territory Saturday night
but received no invitation to come
again. For some reason, the city
itself was sighted, but the country
northwest and southeast of town was
victimized. Insurance men have h
busy times of it since, adjusting losses
and selling safety to those who have
profted by warning. In some places
the wind was freakish, but for the
most part it was just plain ugly tor
nado wind and did severe harm.
! The worst damage in the West
Union country and towards Sank
Centre was to the property of the In
vestors Security Association farm,
managed by Mr.. Royon, to the F. B.
Rowe farm, to James Jardine and
John Blair.
All the buildings of the Security
company's farm excepting the house
were destroyed. There is no insurance.
The barn, silo, chicken house and
granary on the Rowe farm were blown
down, but the loss is almost entirely
covered by insurance. There was also
no insurance on the John Blair barn
which was blown down. The barn on
the farm managed by James Jardine
was tipped on its foundation. All
through the. country great trees were
twisted and torn from their trunks Z
The storm struck the Kandota dis
/ trict about 10 o'clock. It came sud-
denly and Unexpectedly and swept a
Tegioniof about 80 rods in width and
several miles long. The buildings on
the m. YGPerinson farm, with the
exceptiomof the house, were entirely
wrecked. No one is living there at
/ the present time. The force Of the
gale evidently did not strike the
Charles Erickson farm as hard, but
did damages at about $500. Several
large trees were completely uprooted
fences were wrecked, grain and hay
stacks destroyed and a. sheep shed was
smashed although none Of the sheer
were killed.
