ed States have more than doubled
since 1902 and have increased 43 TO

comparisons are warranted by the
results of recent investigation made

NEW PRIMARY LAW

We ere indebted to Senator Heiss
Cor a copy of Senate Bill No. So, by
Nelson and Nash. relating to the
domination and election of candi-
dates for public and political Offices.
The bill. if it becomes a law, will
not disturb the fundamental princi-
pie of popular action but will sim
rlify the procedure and, it is believ-
ed. result in more satisfactory selec-
tion of candidates and in less ex-
Dense
The new measure has general ap-
proval of republicans and democrats
alike. it being recognized. they de-
clare, that there is a popular feeling
that the present primary is unweildy
md totally unsatisfactory and that
the public demands a change.
The proposed law provides for
county primaries at which county
tickets will be named by the various
parties. AT the same time delegates
! will be named by the various par
ties. At the same time delegates will
be named to county conventions Of
the parties that will name delegates
to the state conventions.
Each party acts Independently and

1910 WHEAT PRICE TO STAND

While the farmer would be paid
the $226 government guarantee for
the 1919 wheat crop. the wheat
would be sold to the consumer at
price to be dictated by the law of
supply and demand under legislation
approved last Thursday night by the
house agriculture committee. The
government would lose the differ
ence between the purchase and sale
prices.
With the government given abso-
lutte control of the wheat market in
the United States, members of the
committee said it would be difficult
10 determine what would be the
price if the usual law of supply and
demand were in operation, but they
thought il would be based largely
on the world market price. Some wit
nesses who have testified at hearings
before the committee have predicted
world price of 81 % bushel.
MAY Lose ST a Bushel
On the basis of such price tht
government would stand a loss o.
about 81 bushel. but committed
members would not venture a pre-
diction as to what the total los
might be as forecasts of the lsl'
crop depend upon many factors Th'
crop is estimated now a, about l.

AND TRADE POLICIES
Ex-Head Of Commerce Bureau
Indicts Government at the
Credit Mems Dinner.

1.-THE statements, even the promises Of
the Government officials are not worth
the paper they are written on or the
breath that propels Them
This Indictment of the United States
Shipping Board was spoken before the
New York Association OF Credit Men at
the Hotel Aston last night by Edward
Ewing Pratt, .vlce-president OF the Over
seas Products Corporation and formerly
chief of the bureau of foreign and do
nestle commerce of the Department OF
Commerce.
II was part OF a general Indictment
OF what the speaker called the Govern
ment's utter Indifference to the CONNER
cial interests OF the country; OF bu-
reaucratic methods which have not only
ruined great markets open to American
manufacturers but which have failed to
provide any policy for the future. Up
ward of thousand credit men heard the
address with the keenest attention.
He began by asserting that the SO
called rate control by the Shipping Board
is n farce, since lowered rates, still from
so per cent. to 100 per cent higher than
the British rates, are not enforced and
shippers must still pay from $50 to $50
ton between New York and France.
Mr.. Pratt compared the British policy
Of defending British property wherever
1t is in jeopardy to the Indifferent atti-
tude shown by the United States, and
predicted that capital would decline tC
seek Investments outside of this country
as long as the Government maintains
| the doctrine, Let capital invested in
| foreign countries beware"
