IF there Is large accretion Of dead

possible to keep the jail in
shape that the health officers
demand. There is only one
bath tub in the building, this is
in the front cell, which has to
be used for white prisoners.
The cell capacity is much too
small, there being only q cells
that can be used for male pIiS-
oners, and as we have had as
many as thirty-five confined at
one time, it is at least crowd
ed. The hunks or berthS in the
cells have either rOtted away
or have been removed, and the
bedding, when not in use, Is
rolled up and placed to one
side to be used as seats. The
life of a jail house mattress is
about two weeks, making 1t
very expensive for the county.

your Honorable Body give due
consideration to the matter of
a appropriation for either a

CENTRAL |ZATION
Declares Central Government
Under Society of Nations
May Prove as Dangerous as
BoISheviki Scheme.

Portland, Me-, Feb. Senator
PoindcXter Of Washington, speaking
tonight at a dinner given by the Lin
coin club of Portland. to the members
of the Maine les stature. warned the
American people against surrendering
their liberties to international rule by
a common world power set up by all
the natiope, or to international class
rule by the Bolsheviki The result in
either case, he said. would be imperial
despotism and the end of national in
dependence and liberty
The passing of what he character
izcd as the old world in which the
American people enjoyed liberty
combined with security and the set
ting IN of a new principal of control
OF intermt tionalsm, was deplored by
Mr.. PoindeXter who said:
I'VE find, strange to say, the gov
ernment of the United States itself
taking the lead in taking up in the
world this new principle Of control of
internationalism, as opposed 70 the
ola nationalism"
At the same time, Senator Pon-
dexter asserted, there is spreading
throughout the land another manifes-
tation of the same principle of inter
nationalism, This. he said has been
shown most strikingly in the recent
strike on the Pacific coast, brought
on 'by advocates OF what is called
world wide solidarity of labor for the
purpose OF confiscating and taking
over by the lahorcrs all the Industries
and property of the land
Both of these roads he said,
which may seem to start IN different
directions, lead to the same destina-
ton. That destination IS imperial
dcspotism the centralized tyranny of
the world and the end of national in
dependence and of individual liberty.
There is an easy and open way out
of all these difficulties for the Amer
lean people and that is the plain and
direct way back to our ancient ideals
and traditions, to the American con
stitution, to the principles OF Wash

Washington, Feb. IA program
embodying inclusion in the league of
nations of n special body to deal with
international agricultural questions
was adopted at the closing sessions
of the semi-annual conference here
of the National Board Of Farm or
ganizations.
Questions which this special body
would consider under the plan of the
national board would include uni
form crop reporting, equality of pay
and other conditions for the farmer
as compared with workers in other
occupations, collective bargaining
through organizations, gradual abo-
lition of farm tenancy on the theory
that no land Should be held perma-
nently for renting, preservation of
natural resources and the right of ma
tions to withhold from export essen
tial agricultural supplies where the
amount held by a country is limited.
Charles Barrett of Georgia, presi-
dent of the National Farmers Union
was directed to sail for France Sat
urday to present the program at
Paris.
The conference also adopted reso-
lutons favoring the formation of a
league of nations.
Subjects discussed by speakers at
the three sessions today included the
high cost of living, the railroad prob
lem, the effect of food control on ag-
ricultural cooperation and national
cooperative legislation. Senator Len
root of Wisconsin. speaking on the
railroad problem said he favored a
system of unified operation and con-
soldiation. but opposed both govern
ment operation and ownership. He
pointed out the danger of a railroad
pork barrel compared with which
he said, the rivers and harbors pork
barrel would be insignificant.

Washington, Feb. 12.--Final action
on the conference report on the SIX
billion dollar war revenue bill was
deferred today by an early adjourn
ment bv the senate in observance of
the birthday anniversary of Abraham
Lincoln. This unexpected move came
after Senator Penrose of Pennsyl-
vania, had precipitated a general de-
bate with three hours attack on
what he termed extravaganza and
waste in appropriations since the war
began.
While promising the revenue mea-
sure his support the Pennsylvania
senator said it taxed the country
about tn the breaking point and as
serted that the American people were
alarmed if not disgusted" bv con-
gressioral appropriations. He said
money had been poured out in a kind
of debauchery, and he sharply ar
raigned the use of appropriations for
the shipping board, railroad admin
istration and other government agen-
cies The Russian Bolsheviki he as
serted. could have operated the rail-
roads better than they have been OPP
Grated by the government.
Senators Lewis of Illinois. and

Settle Peace Terms First.

London, Feb. 12.-The view that
the terms of peace with Germany
should be settled before the organiza
tion of society of nations is dealt
with was expressed in the house OF
commons this afternoon by Horatio
w. Rottomley.
The speaker declared that the gov
ernment would lose a large part OF
its majority if it brought to the house
The draft of a peace treaty which had
to be accepted or rejected without
alteration. The plenary treaty. he
said, should be initiated and then SUBJ
mitted to the peoples of each coun-
try.
Mr.. Bottomley said he was not sure
that If that was done Mr.. Wilson
would find that he spoke with such
absolute authority fer the United
States. He said he supposed that in
any case, President Wilson on his re-
turn to America would find American
idealism taking a very practical form
in securing food contracts throughout
the world and ''scooping the pool
while we are talking about league of
nations"

J'aris. k'nl 1.-The tranoh row
crnment formally presented 10 the
league of nations commission last
night an article creating an interna-
tional military force. The introduction
of this article fer inclusion in the
society of nations plan closely follows
the disclosure by Premier Clemenceau
in his recent interview with the Asso-
ciated Press of his conviction that the
league of nations must be supported
"by the determination of each nation
entering into the agreement to he
willing to renounce its traditional
aloofness from other peoples and
willing to employ the national
strength outside its own country both
in time of peace as well as under the
pressure of war"
The contention of Leon Bourgeois,
who presented the article in question,
is that the International force pro-
posed must be of sufficient proper
tions to prevent Germany or any other
country from breaking the peace, or,
if the peace were broken, to retsore it
promptly again by the collective
power.
Still Fears Germany.
M. Bourgeois, alluding to the appre
henSion existing in France as regards
Germany, insisted that there was
grave danger confronting France is an
International force was not constantly
in being and organized for instant ac-
ton. The French view, he indicated,
was that society of nations which
did not include a permanent collective
force might be beautiful experiment,
perhaps, but an experiment too great
for a nation to risk unless it had in
addition defensive frontiers sufficient
to meet sudden shock.
1t was easy for the British, on the
other side of the channel, and with an
enormous navy or for the Americans,
with the ocean as their defensive
frontier, he argued, to regard clamly
the working of league which did not
provide for an international force.
France, however, being separated
from Germany only by a geographical
line must receive the first shock If
Germany should decide to pass beyond
her frontiers.
Opposing Views.
The contention of those who do not
believe in a permanently organized
international army, these including the
American delegates, is that to create
such an army would require changes
in the constitutions of several coun-
tries which may become members of
the society, and that the difficulties in
the way are not of character to be
solved quickly. They argue that the
society could be maintained effect
lively by its members being absolutely
bound, the moment hostile move
ment was made by any nation to CO.
operate with their forces against the
aggressor.
The idea is advanced by some of
the delegates on the society CT ma
tions commission that should Ger
. many, for example, send single mill
tary unit across the French frontier
that act should automatically be
declaration of war against all the
other members OF the society, who
would thus be bound automatically to

Washington, Feb. 12.-Francis j.
Heney. former counsel for the federal
trade commission testifying today be-
fore the house interstate commerce
committee, declared that within ten
years and probably within five, the
five leading meat packers would con-
troll the entire food supply of the
country and would be able to charge
whatever prices they desired.
Mr., Heney said the packers had
extended their activities into so many
fields that they had become a men
ace to the country. They now con-
troll the cheese, oleomargarine and
butter markets, he said, and rapidly
are obtaining a monopoly of a large
number of other food prducts.
Through their large capital and their
special privileges the witness de-
clared they are able to smother
competition"
Albuquerque morning journal. [volume] (Albuquerque, N.M.) 1903-1926, 1919-02-13

Mr.. Heney said the packers re-
Ceived their first start towards dom
ination of the food markets through
rebates granted by the railroads. This
gave them such an advantage over
their competitors. he stated that they
soon obtained control of meats and
meat products The second step taxi
en- by the packers, he asserted. was
the obtaining of special privileges
from the railroads for their refriger-
ator cars, intended originally for per-
ishable meat products alone.
The packers, Mr.. Heney said now
use refrigerator ears for pcrishable
and imperishable goods alike and at
such a great saving in money and in
time of deliveries as to destroy com
petition. AS a result, he said, whole
sale grocers are being driven out of
business.
Government ownership of refriger-
ator cars and stockyards was advo-
Gated by Mr.. Heney as the only means
OF placing the packers on an even
footing with possible competitors. and
he said that even this could not cure
entirely the packer evil" Cold stor-
age plants should be built by the gov
ernment in all large cities, he said
so that small packers would Nave a

REMINDS WILSON
FRANCE DEMANDS
SOME GUARANT TEE
President Informed by Arthur
Meyer That French Wish
Defensive Frontier as Well
as World Agreement,


Paris, Feb. 12.-The Paris newspa-
pers today in their discussion of the
society of nations question make fre-
quent reference to President Wilson.
MIR. Wilson IS decidedly lucky
man" writes Arthur Meyer, editor of
the Gaulois He had in his brain of
philosopher and apostle conceived a
certain plan. 1t was in 1915. He was
of the opinion that the war, into which
his conscience had not yet drawn him
would produce no complete victor and
no wholly vanquisheu In conse-
quence of this he has brought a whole
series of propositions which he now
dislikeS to abandon.
But there has been vanquished
and there have been victors, among
whom is the United States. Germany
had to ask an armistice. 1t is re-
grettable for the a priori conceptions
of Mr. Wilson, but it is very fortunate
for us. Had there been no victor or
no vanquished the solution of the ac-
tual difficulties would have been
much easier. Nothing would have
prevented the formation of the league
of nations of which Mr.. Wilson
dreams, as all the belligerents could
have been included.
Put if Mr.. Wilson persists in his
original plan, of which no thinking
being can deny the generosity, we de-
sire that he should remember the
necessity of certain guarantees which
were not excluded from his origina!
plan, and we doubt if the creation of
an international police force would be
sufficient to guarantee us the secur-
ity to which we are entitled
M. Meyers contention is that France
should have defensive frontier as
well as a membership in the league of
nations.
