WAsHINuToN. March 1.-THE Senate
passed to-day without roll call the urgent
deficiency bill carrying appropriations
and authorizations OF more than $1,000
100000. The total actually appropri-
ated for expenditure within this fiscal
year was $761 ,000. 900. In addition the
authorizations for expenditures under
future contracts amounted to $419, 9,000.-

vision In the shape Of legislative riders
for the sale Of enemy property in the
United States and for the purchase by
the Government OF the great terminals
Of the Hamburg g-American and North
German Lloyd steamship companies at
y.oboken.
The debate throughout the concluding
day Of consideration OF this money bill
was enlivened only by an outburst by
Senator Reed tM!ssourl). who moved to
strike from the bill s1.750.000 for con-
tinuance Of work Of the Food Adminstra-
ton. Senator Reed objected to the
entire item. He was at great pains to
dissect the proposed appropriation and
was vitrioiic in his criticism OF an ex-
penditure Of $4,000 for Mr.. Hoover's
personal expenses
Senator Underwood told the Senate
that II expenditures Of the Food Admins
tration were unsatisfactory to the Senate
the remedy was to be found, not in in
terfering with the urgent deficiency ap-
preparation bill. but in repeal Of the
Food Administration law.
Only a scapt half dozen Senators voted
to eliminate the Food Administration
item. No roll call was asked. although
Senator Reed had declaimed for nearly
two hours.

THRER-POUND SUGAR RULE
RESTORED BY ADMINISTRATION

Beginning November first through
out the United States the sugar allow
ance for homes and also for public
eating places will be at the old rate
OF three pounds per person, or per
ninety meals. served, per month, says
n telegraphic ruling received from the
United States food administration.
The change does not affect manufac-
turers. however. and sugar certificates
will be required from these as hereto
fore. Bakeries. retail merchants. sa-
looms. soda fountains. etc. will be ra-
toned as announced some time ago.
1t is believed by the food admins
tration that the increase in sugar will
compensate for the saving in other
necessary commodities which must be
patriotically observed If we are to feed
our army and the twenty million peo-
pie among the allies.

this result is with the working men,
who openly state that they are going
4 to stand with the man who took up
their small fights and put them
through.
Since the first day that E. E. Roberts
left Carson City on his way to Wash
ington thousands of small favors have
been asked. Every one has been met,
and as senator he will be even in a
better position to continue, not patron
age, but just favors, such as the Ne
vada people expect from the man they
send TO represent them.
The people of Nevada have not been
reared to high and mighty problems,
high brow orations and fireworks.
They live for the moSs part on the
desert edge. They need much assist
ance in small ways. When the day is
ripe for big things Roberts with his
experience is in a far better position
than any other man in this state to
handle it, His position on committees
will of necessity take him to higher
rank in the upper house Much must
be done for this state within the next
few years; a man of acquaintance
with our general needs, the needs of
the workers, the farmers, and those
who meet Roberts on the same social
level is the one to send forward to
meet the conditions.
The people have habit of picking
the man who is part of them. one
whom they can rely upon to undertake
the village necessities, one who is the
same old shoe campaign after can't
paign. This is the fact that the Demo-
cratic press and leaders would break
down if possible. There has probably
been more PLANS to break a man s
popularity this campaign than ever
attempted before in any campaign in
this state.
The Democratic party realizes that
in order to defect the peoples atten-
tion that they must work. on the SYM
pathies of the franchised men and
women. To date the efforts have not
been of material benefit and they so
realize. If they care to put their can
didate before the public just as a fight
between the parties and the men they
will admit that he would have been
out of the running from the beginning.
They have sounded the laborer, the
farmer and citizen and have found
that the Roberts sentiment has not
been beaten down. on the other hand
il is evident to the conservative Demo-
crat that the reuse of the primary
stage properties has caused more ad-
verse criticism than il did during the
summer campaign.
Congressman Roberts as citizen of
Nevada has taken an active part in its
advancement As a resident of Orms-
by county for twenty years he was be-
fore the public in each instance where
political ambitions were to be salts
fled the people responded without
party lines. In his home county il
was a case of elect Roberts. The SEN
timent has not changed in any par
ticular.

and Paul, aged years. He was the
son of Mrs. Mary ]. Rutherford, now
