French nation. At last it arrived and
at the tomb of the famous French

Wheat Most Vial Problem

three needs can be met by the pass

plus needed for Europe be sold at
such a price as will be set by an
International Grain 's.Commission.
Then after setting aside carry
over" supply for our needs, let
further imports or exports be. pro-
hibited and let the grain have a free
market and thus acquire a real
value This would tend in some
way to reduce the price of -four and
wheat products to the consumer
and thus to the extent that it is a
vital factor in the cost of living.
the cost of living would be reduced
and consequently wages
The difference between the guar
anteed price paid by the Govern
ment and the real value of the
wheat in the open would result in
a loss. but this loss could be made
up out of the Natianal Treasury
through taxation on the public
where it belongs rather than upon
the farmer or the consumer. This
would also not involve taking our
total grain supply at the expense of
the people of Europe where no
wheat crop is available. and where
people are starving. In other words
by the taxation method. the loss
would be more equally distributed
and the greatest good would come
to the greatest number not only
here but in Europe

M'ALLISTER UPHELD BY SPL. COM. M'BANE
Judge Slate According to the Findings of Special Commits
soner McBane, Should Not be Permitted to
Preside in Capitol Graft Cases

That Circuit Judge John G. Slate
was biased and prejudiced against
the State in the coal and cement
graft cases. and should be prohibit
ed from trying the cases. was the
finding of Special Supreme Court
Commissioner j P. McBaine of Co.
lumbia, in a report filed with the
court.
McBaine recommended that the
writ of prohibition against Slate.
which was applied for by Attorney
General Frank W. McAllister, should
be made permanent.
He held that Judge States de.
meanor during the trial of the first
graft cases against John W. Scott
ousted Commissioners of the Perma
nent Seat of Government, showed
that he was prejudiced against AS
sistant Attorney General Shrader
P. Howell and Lee B. Ewing of
Nevada. special prosecutors in the
graft cases.
MCBaine's report knocked out
every line of defense raised by at
torneys in behalf of Judge Slate
The finding is a great victory for
Attorney General McAllister and
his assistants. The graft cases were
exposed by a Grand Jury in Sep
TENDER, 1917
In his finding on the law Com
missioner McBaine declared that
the State was clearly entitled to a
change of venue and that the Su-
preme Court has authority to order
Slate to call in another Judge to try
the case against Scott.
While McAlliSter's application
against Slate set out one of the
cases against Scott, who was charg-
ed with the theft and sale of State
coal from the Capitol. it will apply
to other pending cases involving
the cement and coal scandals. The
writ of prohibition was applied for
a year ago and the testimony was
heard last summer.
McBaine held that the State was
as much entitled to a change of
venue when a trial Judge is preju-
diced as is defendant.
After reviewing Judge States ties
timony. in which he denied he was
prejudiced against the State, Com
missioner McBaine's report said:
1T is to be borne in mind that
we have above detailed Judge
States views on these matters with
out passing upon whether his views
as to many of them are correct or
not. 1t seems to us immaterial as
to whether he was right or wrong
10 some of his views. The import
ant matter is that they we're his
views. The evidence shows, for
example. that Mr. Bybee did tell
Judge Slate that he heard that Mr.
Ewing intended to say something
that would get him in contempt of
court. and that he told Judge Slate
that he had heard this from Mr..

ton of wheat up to August |, 1919

of Russia and Germany's Allies.
will need 575,000000 bushels The
estimated surplus stocks of wheat
in Argentine. Canada, Australia and
the United States, which are the
principal wheat producing countries
will be approximately 100000
of bushels. However, this seeming
world surplus would be consumed
in sixty days by the other peoples
of Europe and Asia, who. as a re.
suit of the war, are underfed, and
in many places today starving. I'm
dOubtedly, if the United States Gov
eminent were to put ban on the
exporting and importing of wheat,
and if our own surplus of $4,000,
0G0 were allowed a free market
within our own boundries. the price
of wheat and of wheat would drop
to or below its pre-war level, but
this is economically unfair because
the farmers would be bankrupt,
who. on representation of the Gov
eminent. have invested large
amounts at high prices in seeds,
labor and machinery for the pur.
pose of stimulating and increasing
production as far as possible. Also
wheat production would fall off, and
the anticipated surplus would not
become real surplus.
On the other hand, in order to
provide jobs for everyone. the war
being over. it is necessary to have
cheaper raw materials, greater pro
duction, and some people believe a
cost of living very much lower with
the resultant decrease in the wage
scales. Cheaper wheat would help
to bring about this condition.
1t is very hard to reconcile the
two points of view, but in one case
the war worried people of Europe
would be called upon to undergo
a great privatiOn and perhaps star
walton because of our selfish in
terest.
In the second case, our farmers
as a class would become bankrupt
ed at the expense of the industry o
the country. 1t is very eviden
that the people of Europe must b.
fed at any cost; that the farmer
guarantee OF So 26 per bushel 70
wheat must be fulfilled, and tina
the cost of our basic food produc
must, through freedom of move
ment, reach a price as determined

he had no recollection of making
such a statement. while Mr.. Ewing
stated that he did not make any
such statement to Mr. Holliway.
"rhe evidence shows that Judge
Slate did not believe that any
pressure was brought to bear upon
the Grand Jury. The fact was
clearly shown to the contrary, that
pressure was brought to bear to ad-
journ the Grand Jury. Two mem
bers of the Grand Jury testified
that the Presiding Judge of the

Return of the President

Return of the President
When President Wilson went to
Europe there was an awful racket
in Washington. Washington loves
presidents, and apparently Mr.. VIII
son never allows then to interfere
with his purposes. And so he went
to Europe-a thing none of his pre-
decessOrs had ever done A very
unfriendly lot of epithets were
hurled at him as he departed. But
the President returns. and it is no
ticeable that the Wilson smile
hasn't worn off. He is acclaimed
everywhere as a leader who has
done great things. He has succeed
ed-and nothing succeeds like sue
cess, especially among politicians.
Ii does not need a partisan to an
alyze the situation; for though tons
of words and speeches may be spill
led upon the subject, the fact re-
mains that Mr.. Wilson has tighter
grip on Congress and the official
affairs of the country. than he ever
had before. And Mr.. Wilson re-
turns with definite and determin-
ed purpose to carry his points at
home. A few are attempting to
make politics" but most of Wash
ington is Obedient to the demand
of the Nation. which unquestion-
ably is standing back of the Presi-
dent. as vigorously today as at any
time since the beginning of the war.
The League of Nations stands in
no danger of getting tripped up in
the Monroe Doctrine. In fact it is
being clearly pointed out that the
TWO can work together in entire
harmony

CUTLER CASE DECISION.
Order of Supreme Court Concerning
Land in Rear of Judge Lot.

The text of the decision of the Yer
mont supreme court in the Windham
county case of the Cutler Co. against
Herbert q. Barber is as follows:
The decree is altered SO as to read
as follows: 1t is adiudged and decreed
that the division line between the land
of the plaintiff and that of the defend
ant S land known as the Judge lot is
two feet east of the easterly face of
the foundation wall of the plaintiff s
building Bill dismissed with costs to
the defendant and being so altered,
the decree is affirmed and cause re-
manded. The alteration eliminates the
element of easement from the decree
and substantially changes the location
of the division line from the location
fixed by the decree of the lower court
all in the plaintiff s favor Therefore
let it recover its costs in this court -
BY the decree is meant the decree of
Chancellor F. NJ. Butler, who heard the
case before it went to the supreme
leourt. The Cutler Co. claimed all the
land, a strip II feet wide between its
building and the Judge lot. Mr. Barber
also claimed it. The chancellor decreed
the land to Mr.. Barber, and the Cutler
co. appealed. The supreme court holds
| that the Cutler Co. owns two feet of
land instead of the IL feet originally
| claimed. With this alteration the
chancery court S decree is affirmed.
| The supreme court s. opinion has not
| been received yet by the attorneys in
the case, but from reading of the or
der it is apparent that Mr. Barber is
allowed to recover his costs in the
! chaneery court, while the Cutler Co.
being granted two feet whereas the
chaneery court gave it nothing, is al
/ lowed to recover its costs Sin this
/ court, meaning the supreme court.

BOSTON CONCERN.
Continued from Page IL


Phillips concern has so increased the
sales of milk as to be prepared to use
an increased quantity. The sales of the
Phillips concern increased so per cent
during the first week of the shipment
and sale. of Vermont milk in Spring
field is gaining from day to day.
Whether the milk will be sent by
rail, as it was shipped to Boston, is
problematical as the railroad company
cannot accept less than 800 quarts at
the car rate even though the shippers
are willing to pay for "a car in which
to ship the smaller quantity.
County Agent w. p. Frost and Coun-
ty President F. l.. Parmelee of the
N. E. NJ P. A., were in Springfield,
Mass, yesterday to go over the situa-
tion with the Phillips concern. 1t was
arranged that the over-Sunday surplus
in the Springfield market should be
made into butter and that the butter
should be placed in the same chain of
stores as the milk If such plan works
out satisfactorily it doubtless will be
a matter of but short time when all
producers in this section will be able to
send their milk to Springfield without
surplus loss which was the case
many times when the product was be-
ing shipped to the Boston market. The
advantage of the Springfield market
over that in Boston will result in many
thousands of dollars saved to the farm
ers in this section in the course of q
year.
