Soldier And Senator

Men who would rip the cove nant of the League of Nations wide open and incidentally wreck the treaty of peace are exceed. ingly boastful of their American ism and their patriotism.
 It happens that soldiers of, the United States who have seen service in France and Belgium are in most cases>Nnable to com. prehend Americanism of this description, which explains the adoption by veterans at Birming- ham, Ala. of a resolution advis- ing everybody to keep away from a meeting to be addressed by Senator Reed of Missouri ip opposition to the treaty. Like Mr. Johnson Of California. MT. Reed : patriotism is so pro. nounced that he would have the war which was to pend war termi- nate in international chaos.
 The irreconcilables of the Sen ate are deceiyiDg some timld par tisans on this issue, but the men who have worn khaki are not to be fooled. They know what they fought for and what they won, and they are going to have it.

nate it. Resentment of this rank and gross injustice to the New Orleans milling and dlstri- outing interests was appreciated by the railroad administration under Government control and order has issued so that New Or leans now can have some value to her freight bills, all to the bet torment of price and competitive conditions in the buying and selling of rice, that she has beer deprived of heretofore.
 As have been asked to write only a review of the rice market. 1 shall make no prognoStic of the future beyond stating that the acreage is decreased proba- bly, per cent, but that the pros poets at this writing are excel lent for a large crop, and yield beyond the average as to acreage planted. It is important, as 1 see it, for the rice interests to bestir themselves in order tha. increased attention be given the growing ot rice. It will not be very many months now before actual tonnage will offer for the movement of freight, and the at. tractiyenesS of the United States as a dumping ground for the cheap rices of the Orient is known to all, and what we want to do really to get prosperity as it should be for rice, is to use our surplus in big crop years by shipping it to the Continent. The way has been shown. the path blazed,. the peoples of Flu rope are made aware of how much better rices we make, as to style and character and ap- pearance. and the basis upon which we want to supply that trade is not how much cheaper we can offer it to them in compe tition with the Orient and Asi- atic rices. but how good we can furnish it to them so as to war rant better price from the bet ter class of consumers.

 Insofar>as the intermediates or the interior merchant who had served the farmer in this re gard, the commission merchant on the New Orleans Board of Trade, and other elements. the Rice Committee notified by cir cutar and by individual emiSsa ries, the farmer of the fact that the government would be very pleased to handle their rice and that there would be absolutely no charge for it. so that another bunch were gracefully ehminat ed in the trade and barter of rice. All of these eliminations were accepted III good part by the parties concerned. because we realized that every man owed his share to the Government in the prosecution of the war, so that now that the curtain is rung down, the play ended and the stage set for a new one, every body is going to 1t Tn good hum or and with the idea fixed in mind to get his piece of pie as occasion presents.
 That means that the New Or leans Market will now be able to present again to the growers of rice the advantages incident to the use of the largest primary price making market of the country.

Rice Letter

| IIe SedSOn Ol 1910 IS, JeFml< hating officially on the 31st day Of July, sets new precedentS and establishes new records. The crop, up to declaration of peace, was handled, so far as the agri- culturist is concerned, under the contract entered into be- tween the Department of Agri- culture, MT. Hoover/and the diff
 ferent rice mills throughout the rice country. which provided in effect that they would only buy through an intermediary estab- iished by the Government which provided a grading and classif- cation committee, the organiza- tion of which was taken care of by tax placed on every barrel of rice mllled. by any mill any where, of 6 c a barrel, which provided more than sufficient funds to take care of all ex
 penses and overhead.
 The prices fixed. that the mills agreed to pay. provided hand some profit for the agriculturist predicted upon the cost of rais. ing and harvesting that particu- lar crop, through this last fall. because of continued rains and increased expense that profit was in measure decreased. In some instances actual loss show. ed, because of the had luck" of the farmer due to continued rains in his particular locality where he got an overdose, due further to disturbed labor condi
 tions in others, and due further to the fact that that particular farmer did not have the get up and get" and forethought to an. ticipate the trou bles that might accrue, and was willing to drift along as so many others are, making explanations in lieu of profit. But all in all, the agree ment worked out satisfactorily to the man who was alert and who got his crop saved in time.
 Insofar as the miller was .on
 cerned, a price was fixed al which he could sell his clean rice which meant that the govern
 mental buying power accepted that price as the reasonable one and that forced the balance of the trade to buy on the same ba- sis, and the mills in the early part of the season. when the rice was of good quality did fine un
 der that contract. Later on there were some temporary losses until the price fixing Com
 mittee and the mills themselves got adjuste to the value of rices that had been damaged by excessive rainfall and cor se- quent moisture. The lesson that experience taught is, hereafter, however, rice will have to be bought and sold on a moisture content basis: when more than a certain percentage of moisture develops in the grain as it goes to the mill, it means that even | after the process of manufacture there is danger of the rice turn ing, becoming either musty or burnt, and in that way affecting it's commercial value. In a small way the New Orleans miller had had some experience in this re- gard, with our early rices, off the Mississippi river. due how ever to the fact that the rices

 Since the declaration of peace, when, automatically, the con tract under which rice has been handled expired, famine has de- veloped as to supply with the consequence of highest conner cial prices for clean and rough" rice that the history of the industry has ever known. We are going into the new crop absolutely bare and with the cgnntry at large attuned to high prices on every ything, it looks like the price for rice should be the highest average ever known in the selling of commercial crop.

Jobholder. The only way to rebuild the
structure in Washington is to follow,
without fear or favor, the policy adopted
in some of the states recently, of pro-
viding legislation which will. at one
swoop, consolidate and combine numer-
GUS boards and commissions into a CEN
tralized authority, which centralized
authority must be responsible to the
head Of the government. And in this
regard may I impersonally direct at

Cooperation, Not
Competition

The President of the United States,
in association with the other executive
departments and constitutional branches
of the government, should be the execu-
tive directing head Of the great business
of the government, which has such won
derful opportunity to cooperate rather
than to compete, with individual initia-
tive and enterprise. The Congress
should be the board of directors, elected
to represent every section of the coun-
try and to legislate both necessary
types of regulation and helpful policies
of cooperation. The various boards and
commissions should be co0rdinated and
commissions with cognnte responslbilr-
ties combined, the purely superfluous ones
being eliminated entirely. The billions
of dollars appropriated for these activi-
ties should be appropriated through tho
common sense method of u budget; which,
in few words, means II budget COM

investigators and fnanciers, continuous

ing the only opportunity to prevent such
overlapping by beneficial comparisons.
A business system Of financing gov
ernment means Baving--no waste. ABB
sence Of waste Is economy. Economy in
government Is q minimum Of expense
New-York tribune., 1919-05-18

with maximum Of service, which, OF
course, is the equivalent of reasonable
taxation. And lower taxation means q
better wage and improved living con-
ditions. 1t is difficult for people to share
profits with those who are working for
them when they have to give all their
earnings to the government in the form
of excess taxes and income taxes. With
government properly run the burden of
taxation would be reduced, leaving more
to be distributed among the workers.
1t is absurd to assume that any Con-
Eress, whatever its political complexion,
can pass upon appropriation bills run
ming into the billions of dollars with
any direct knowledge Of whether they
are economical or wasteful, whether
they are justified or not The inability
fully during war times as we'll as times
of peace should be the final note which
will definitely assure the adoption of
this business system.
The time has come for reorganization.
The possibilities of such system could
he elaborated on without limit. 1t gives
absolutely no improper concentration of
power, as Congress, under the Consti-
tuition, is the final arbiter. 1t permits
the President to be the executive in
spiration and, where important matters
Of policy and consolidation are under
contemplation, to sit as the head of the
budget board and himself become ac-
quainted, as he should be, with the
activities of the government he is sworn
to administer
1t will readily be seen, by investiga-
ton of what has been accomplished in
adopting this policy without fear or
favor, eliminating and consolidating
boards and commissions, the actual say
ing in expenses, not to speak Of the
great advantage in proper functioning
and administration, will reduce, right
from the start, the expense of the gov
ernment so materially that the public
will ask why it has been 80 long neg
lected. And the answer will be easily
forthcoming Simply because no one
with positive force and determination
insisted upon this organization. Tho
actual money that can be saved will
pay interest on every war debt that tho
nation haD negotiated.

actual saving of money, but Just az

portant pastime of shooting the bottle
The game is as old as the hills in
Canadian waters, but ! had never be-
fore seen it played
Larry was the case-keeper. His
paraphernalia consisted of quart wine
bottle, around which he had laced q
coarse net of light clothes-lihe. On
the base of the nes ne had woven a
four pound lead weight, upon which
the bottle rested firmly and upright.
Seventy-ive feet OF free rope ran away
from the neck. Four feet up Larry
had tied wooden plug which fitted the
bottle quite loosely. 1t was so adjusted
that when the bottle sank to the ex-
tremlty of the rope the plug could be
yanked out with a quick icrk, thus per-
mitting the bottle to fill

lutely pure.
AS a betting proposition, bottle

come up. The displacement Of the plug
permits the air to escape while the
fresh water rushes in. Presently a
thousand liquid pearls burst upon the
surface. If sperm whale had come

after which we bet him bubbles against

related in nowise to the treaty of peace
but rather to the problems OF recon
struction.
proper non-partisan expose of war
blunders, in order to clarity and prepare
for solid building for the future, is
justified. This, however, should not be
in the spirit Of captous criticism, be-
cause blunders were unavoidable in as
suming the tremendous responsibilities
Of the last few years, buc wnere such
blunders are interfering with a proper
peacetime development and where they
are indicative Of the incapacity of de-
partmental administration they, of
course, must be exposed and Immediately
corrected But where the Republican
party is expected to function, and can
function, is not alone in calling atten-
ton to the blunders Of others but in
putting into effcct-immediate effect
the remedy for domestic problems and
in constructing solid business govern
ment.
Again, accepting the mandate Of the
American people, reorganization of
the great Federal machine is demanded,
in order that it be responsive to the
demands of the times, and that obvious
waste and extravaganza, burdening all
classes of our citizenship, be eliminated.
The Republican party should adopt as
it's slogan "Constructive domestic re-
adjustm ent," which means, in effect that
the Federal government shall be organ
lied as business organization, with a
budget and complete supervision Of ex-
penditures, with revision Of the meth
cd Of securing income and n complete
turning Of the light" on depart
mental extravagances. In modelling
government along these lines of sue
ccssful private business confidence will
be restored, stabilization Of industrial
conditions will follow and the country
will the more quickly return to pre-
war basis.
Washington to-day is burdened with
boards, commissions and departments
II has been said that there are more
than five hundred separate organizations
and many sub-organizations OF the five
hundred, and that the relation between
them ia 30 vague and indefinite that
there is virtually no cooperation. Bus,-

to turn, before the uncertainty Of their

Perhaps platforms of the past deal

through an adjustment of personal

prejudice or pride of opinion, but on
humane consideration for the health,

American people have no desire to be
dependents, nor is it their wish that q

ther than to look after the afflicted and
unfortunate. Because of the solldity of
our institutions and governmental rela-
