GOVERNMENT CONTROL SUGAR
UNTIL DECEMBER 81, 1920

Washington, Dec. 12.-The Nc
Marry bill, under which government
control of sugar would be continued
another year, was passed today oy
the Senate and sent to the House..
There was no record vote on its
passage and the two Louisiana Sena-
tors, Ransdell and Gay, Democrats,
who have been virtually alone in op-
posing the measure, made no further
attempt at obstructing. Senator Gay
read brief address in oposition, end
ing the fight of several days against
the measure.
Purchase and sale by the sugar
board both of foreign and domestic
grown sugar is authorized by the
bill, which would authorize, but not
direct the President to continue the
board until December 81, 1920.
If found necessary for the public
good and to secure fair prices and
equal distribution the bill specifical-
ly provides that producers, refners
and distributors of sugar shall not
be licensed as has been the practice
under the Lever food control law.
Also the bill limits the boards pow
ers over domestic sugar to September
1920, before the beet and cane crops
come on the market.
The sugar situation was discussed
also in the House.
Representative Treadway, Republi-
can, Massachusetts,, presented res
olution of the Massachusetts, legisla-
ture urging congress to place an en-
barge on sugar exports but Chairman
Fordney of the House ways and
means committee, declared an en-
barge would violate an agreement
made by the sugar equalization board
with Great Britain and France.
"No sugar grown in this country,
is exported" Mr.. Forney said, ex-
planning that the Cuban crop was re-
exported after being refined here.
Urging action by congress direct
ing the sugar board to buy Cuban su-
gar now.
Mr.. Fordney predicted that with
out such legislation and government
price control, the price of sugar will
90 to 25 or 80 cents pound.
The House judiciary committee
recommended adoption of resolu-
ton by Representative Tinkham, Re-
publican, Massachusetts,, asking At
torney General Palmer for the author
ity of the Department of Justice in
fixing the price of Louisiana cane
sugar at II mad Is cents pound.
Mr.. Tinkham said he would call up
the measure in the House tomorrow.

CHARGES HURLED
in TREATY FIGHT
Lodge and Lenroot Declare Covenant
is Dead, Which Statements Are
Denied by Underwood.

Washington, Dec 1.-THE first
open discussion of the peace treaty
in the senate at this session of con-
gress came today during the. debate
on the railroad bill.
Senator Lodge, Republican leader,
and Senator Lenroot of Wisconsin,
leader of the mild reservationists"
Republicans, declared the treaty was
dead" until again submitted by the
president, and charged the Democrats
with responsibility for the failure to
ratify it at the special session.
Senator Underwood, De2,oc1ctt,
Alabama, said the treaty could be
called up at any time by majority
vote, and in turn charged the Repub-
Leans with responsibility for the
failure of the senate to act.
The treaty debate lasted about an
hour, but without result so far as
future plans for it's disposition are
concerned, and ended with state
ment by Senator Thomas, Democrat,
Colorado, that "both sides having
passed and repassed the buck' it was
time for the senate to turn to real
business.
The treaty was brought to the fore
when Senator Underwood, in de-
manding prompt passage of the rail-
road bill, charged the Republicans
with failure to enact any substant
legislation, and cited defeat of tht
treaty as a Republican dereliction.
Senators Lodge and Lenroot prompt
" challenged the Alabama senator,
asserting the Democrats are fespon-
sible for present inaction on the
treaty..
:.'The blame lies on the Democratic
side and on the president" said SEN
ator Lenroot, reviewing the senate's
procedure on November 10 and charg-
ng that propaganda" exists to hold
present status. Before the vote on
he Lodge resolution Senator Lenroot

;"sked Senator Hitchcock, who was not
resent during todays discussion, to

hat none came nor yet he's been pre-
~ented.

Drop THAT OLD CLOAK.

Judge SalingCr got just what was
coming to him when he statred n libel
suit against the Des Moines Register
Most every body had forgotten what
the Register had said about him.
Those fully advised as TO his course in
politics had probably sensed the same
censure before the Register printed it.
But Salinger is quick TO sue. He
went on the witness stand and ad-
mitted that he had asked a railroad
attorney to give a friend Job and he
judge OF the supreme court with
that railroad lawyer often before him
urging the judge to decide his way
He even admitted that he went all OF
the way to railroad offices in Chicago
TO get a Job for his friend Savage. "A
jury decided that he had no case fol
damage against the newspaper thai
had censured such conduct in mem
Der of the supreme court.
Incidentally It Is about time that
Harding and salinger and their ilk
dropped that old cloak Of alleged
prejudice on the part of Gardner
Cowies because his appointment was
not confirmed as member OF the
board of education. None of Cowles
friends ever heard him complain about
that, but when Harding was under al.
tack from the Register for the things
he had done, which were enough 20
convince a majority Of the judiciary
committee OF lawyers of the house
that he ought to be impeached, he pu,
on the cloak claiming that the Regis
ter was trying to get even with him
for Cowles' defeat.
Now that his political pal. Sal!nger,
is In trouble Harding tells on the wit
ness stand that he had long ago e1-
planned to Cowles that Saltnge- wa
the man who defeated the appoint
ment They are pretty pair to be
occupying the two most exalted pub
lie offices in this state.
II would make q fine feature for the
Sunday Register to print Web Byers'
plea to the jury which seemed to have
sized Salinger up about right, judging
from the jury's very prompt verdict.

ccsFIscATIoN IN NcRrH DAKOTA

When We look toward North Dakota
We can realize that the trouble makers
and confiscaiors of private property
are not all among the reds of the
street, There today the ignite mines
Of the state have been seized by the
socialistic non partisan league COVER
nor who is attempting 20 operate Their
for the state when there was really no
occasion for 1t and when he was the
one who instigated the strike II the
truth has been told by the owners of
the largest mine up there. So out
rageous has been this governors ac-
ZION that the United States depart
inent Of Justice Is reported to have
promised to restrain his actions in
protection Of the owners Of the mine.
w. D. Washburn, one OF the owners
Of the washbwn Lisnite Coal Com
oany at Wilton, N. D., says that:
We had a contract with the men
Sept. TO run a year. 1t was entirely
satisfactory to them, When the min
ers in the east walked out they were
still satisfied and We understand there
was to be no strike. However, Cover
nor Frazier called in the leader of our
Inion and issued statement that I'M
ess we raised the wages of the men
81 per cent during the strike, he would
seize the mine and operate II IN behalf
of the state.
This ultimatum also included the
condition that the increase in wages
should not 60 to the men. but was
% be used to aid the strike In Montana.
He also added the proviso that no coal
was to be shipped outside North Da-
kota. OF course we could not comply
with any such conditions and the au-
:horities at Washington would not
permit us to make any such arrange
nents. if we SO desired"
If these charges are true the reds
ave been outdone by a. man elected
o public office as governor Of a state.
Ie melted a strike where there was
20 desire to strike. He ordered q la
Dor union to violate its contract. de-
handed that an increase OF 60 per cent
n wages be paid by the mine owners
o striking miners outside Of the state
who, Of course, were not employed by
he Washburn company and sought to
prevent people in other states obtain
ing any coal from North Dakota. Ii
governor can get by with any such
confiscation of other peoples property
in the name Of the non. partisan league
we have no more censufe fer the
things that tbs W. w. Or reds by
other names seek to do In this coun-
try. II the governor Of North Dakota
did what tho owners Of this coal mine
say he did then Il Is time that he
seized the farms Of North Dakota and
ordered their owners to plant them to

When Chief Perky heard that fell

he could not remember ever having

oh" said the king. "he Is young
fellow, about your size. with beau
tlful grayish-brown coat Of fur and
a shaggy tail. He has short legs and
digs rapidly in the earth"
Strange indeed that l can not re-
member seeing him some place.
"I1l bring him out SO you can see
him." said Tinker Bob as he stepped
inside where Mr., Ground Hog was
resting quietly. Il say, Mr.. Ground
Hog!, The chief Is here and wants
to see you. Will you come out7"

he slowly drew himself together and
started out -
Here's Mr.. Ground Hog, Chief

How the Railways Stand Today

/ abs salvage. An the .scunaan1D sn1,
efficisncies Of government uut0e6 I'd.

merit found In them. But an - toem
together do not offset the fact fhAf Y
has been found necessary 10 tncroase
wages more than the total paid tor the
standard return, leaving a deficit SUIT
ficient to embarrass the resources even
of the treasury.
That Ia particularly true when II II
considered that the mere statement OF
the accounts does not exhaust tho
subject. Many Of the items are In
dispute. some in litigation. with a
better prospect that the companies
will enlarge their credits than that
the government can enlarge their deb
its. Depreciation has always been a
bone of. contention between the COM
panies and their regulators. and II Is
now likely to take prominent place
in the settlement OF these accounts.
For example. one road has been mnk-
Ing a gratifying statement Of earn
ings. but 4 state commission has COM
planned 70 the director general that its
mileage In part "is unssfs for aovmA
operation. and In some districts q tho

these are fulflllmsnt OF President
Wilson's statement that 'ths prop
critics will be maintained during the
period Of federal control In ~ good
repair and as complete equipment
as when taken over BY the govern
ment."
, The president made similar state
ments regarding the safeSuardiaG Of
the interests Of Investors In railway
securities in his address to congress
last year: for instance: 1T 10 Alse an
obligation Of public conscience and
public honor that the privats iutsr-
ests we disturb should be kept from
unjust injury" II Il now seen that
the interests OF the roads and Of their
investors are not antagonists 10 the
interests OF the shippers. The roads
must be prosperous Il they are - b
efficient carriers. II congress meets
public expectations IN this respect, ono
cloud over the situation win be cleared

eral situation AZ On the railways them
