STATEMENT BY DEPARTMENT
OF AGRICULTURE ON HAND.
LING THE WHEAT GUARANTY

Several statement have recently ap-
peared in daily and grain trade papers
indicating that the Department of
Agriculture is anxious to take charge
Of the work of carrying out the guar
anteed price on the 1919 wheat crop.
These statements misrepresent the at
titude of the Department of Agricul-
-ture.
The Department of Agriculture, af-
ter this country entered the war, took
the position that emergency food &C.
tivities of commercial nature should
be directed by an emergency agency,
and therefore participated in framing
the Food Control Act giving the Presi-
dent power to create such an agency.
The food Administration and its Grain
Corporation were set up under the act
and they have handled the wheat
guarantees from the beginning. The
Secretary Of Agriculture has assumed
until recently that these agencies
would, without question, continue to
handle the wheat guarantees until the
emergency passed and the law ceased
to be in operation. He still believes
that it would be desirable for the
Grain Corporation to continue to func-
ton and close out the matter. The
corporation has gained much valuable

And during the remainder of the
day Molly did not speak to him ex.

her voice was curt and cold; and
Corwin looked twice at her after she

She made the day miserable for

home that night there was scowl on
his face and wrath in his heart.
He was glad the next morning
when he found that Falltown had not
gone over the top" He found him
self wishing that other districts had
failed also; for a general failure
would have meant that the war was
not popular, and Congress and the
President had been rebuked.
Molly did not speak to him that
morning.

CARRY FIGHT TO BALLOT
BOX, SAYS SPEAKER
Chairman Scott Don't Seem 10 Bother
About Criticism Poured on State
Tax Commission.

In his Kentucky political column In
the Cincinnati Enquirer Sunday, Tom
Cromwell says:
Weekly newspapers In several coun-
ties are making a campaign for the
repeal Of the present state tax law and
the abolition OF the State Tax Commits
sion To all outward appearances they
are not disturbing the tranquility Of
James Scott, Republican Chairman Of
the commission.
THAT cannonadlng Is aimed at the
two Democratic members of the COM
mission" he said, laughingly. "They
are In the majority, you know. Nobody
would dare say lone Republican
from the mountains could outvote two
such sterling Democrats as Bob Green
and Ben Ringo."
At meeting In Paris called to pro-
test against an increase of $6,000,000
in the valuation Of Bourbon county
property for assessment James
Thompson urged his fellow farmers
to carry the fight to the ballot box"
A Mt. Sterling paper says: THAT is
what Montgomery county proposes to
do, and every legislative district in
Kentucky can and ought to do the
same thing. 1t is useless, however, to
kick and quit there. Kicking is all
right but 1t accomplishes nothing with
our State Tax Commission Send men
to the Legislature who will unhorse
these cars" The Tax Commission
has the power to make the increases
1t orders, and II the orders are not
complied with, 1t will remain for the
commission to increase the assessment
and take the criticism, or not increase
it and be in the attitude of the fighter
who throws up the sponge.

MANY OF THE HOSPITALS
ARE Being RETAINED
Disabled Soldiers Given Every Atten.
ton by Government After Dis
Charge-Fund Of $9,OOO,0O0.

Washington.-An extensive pro-
gram of caring for disabled soldiers
after their discharge from military
service was announced by the War
Risk Insurance bureau, which is
charged by congress with this work.
Twent-one hospitals with a capaci-
ty of $50 beds already are in use,
and the department has turned over
to the treasury seven camp hospi-
tails for care Of disability cases.
These are to be enlarged and i'm
proved out of the 100000 fund ap-
proprlated for hospitals to be controll-
ed by the War Risk Insurance bureau
and conducted by the public health
service, another treasury agency.
When treatment in the hospitals
of the war department fails to re-
store men to such condition that they
are fit for active service and they are
discharged the work of the bureau
of war risk insurance begins.
Under the provisions of the war
risk insurance act all soldiers, who
are ten per cent. disabled from
causes suffered in the line of duty,
are entitled to compensation and to
treatment by the bureau of war rask
insurance. Any man disabled in the
service and discharged from the SER
vice may make application for treat
ment to the public health service sta
ton in his home town or at the near
est station. If immediate treatment
is necessary it will be administered
by the public health service. II the

experience during the war and should
be able to deal with the problem as
effectively as any other establishment.
The recent Wheat Guaranty Act seems
to contemplate that this agency would
continue to act. Among other things,
it authorizes the President to use any
existing agency or agencies and to
utilize any department of the Govern
ment, including, of course, the Food
Administration Grain Corporation. 1t
would be difficult for any other exist
ing agency now to set up the requisite
machinery, especially in view of the
short time intervening before the 1919
crop movement begins; and even If 1t
were to undertake to do so, some en-
barassment would undoubtedly result,
because two agencies, over part of
the period, would be dealing with
wheat.
The task is one of great magnitude
and the time is short. The Secretary
Of Agriculture recently cabled to the
President, pointing out the necessity
for immediate action and urging that
the present machinery, that is, the
Food Administration Grain Corpor-
alton, be maintained and utilized. AS
matter of course, if the President
should designate the Department Of
Agriculture as the agency to handle
the 1919 kuaranty, it would assume
the task and discharge it to the best of
its ability.

This, Miller said, was an assurance
that another loan was soon to be
floated.

of their teeth" declared Miller;
they won't find 1t so easy to float a
second loan. The country can't
stand it-business will crack under
the strain-it's too big drain on
the country's resources"
Miller's prediction, however. was a
rather inaccurate one, for the Second
Loan was floated with greater facility
than the first. But again Falltown
failed to subscribe its quota.

innuendo. But for that matter Cor.
win thought he detected those things
in the voices Of all his friends; their
casual glances at him seemed to be
full of speculation and contempt
Mollys manner toward him was
slowly changing; and when the clos.
ing day of the Second Loan campaign
passed and Corwin refused to sub.
scribe, Molly's attitude toward Corwin
became one of cold restraint.
By this time, however, Corwin had

some Of his friends-he was in a

Morley Roberts attitude was similar
to Corwin's, the only difference being
that Roberts was chagrined over what
he was pleased to call the Govern
ment's autocratic methods" For a
government agent had made a survey

the work, though, he admitted-and
he had bought some bonds. But he
had bought the bonds merely because
everybody was expected to buy them,
he said, and not because he was in

Roberts and Corwin funched to-
gether many times during the summer
and fall. And they criticized the
Government without stint, and with q
fervor that left them with a feeling
that there was foundation for the
criticism. It was remarkable how
easy II was To find fault with what

Murslock Fears
Z. 5. Il I 90 Weak
To Fight Packers
Federal Trade Commissioner
Says Facts Against big
Five" Are in Hands of
Department of Justice

WASHINGTON, Feb. 14.-Victor Mur
dock, member Of the Federal Trad,
Commission. told the House Interstate
commerce Committee to-day that he
feared the five big packers had ac
qu1red so much power than even the
united States government might not be
strong enough to combat it.
Even Food Administrator Hoover
MIR. Murdock said, could rot reach
INTO Chicago and take the license OF
a great malefactor, although he cculc
rescind the license of one of the little
fellows"
The testimony of the trade commits
sioner followed his statements that
facts gathered during the commission's
investigation Of the meat packing in
dustry had been turned over to the
Dep&rtment of Justice, and that he had
re doubt that proceedings under the
ANTITRUST law would result.
Mr: NJ Murdock expressed fear that the
legls lative branch of the government
would deal weakly instead of vigor-
ously with the packers. His statement
that the packers were well aware who
would consider tfrei4 case and that
my my would try to sec 10 it that
their friends" got on these commit
tees as vacancies occurred brourbt
sharp questioning from members Of the
committee. Mr.. Murdock said he did
not mean that any improper means
would be used and that he did not in
any way mean to infer that there had
been "stuffing or padding" Of commit
tees.
Mr.. Murdock devoted considerable
time to discussion of the so-called in
ternatlonal meat pool, which was
sharply criticised in the commission's s
report 10 the President last summer.
.Ihe packers,' he said, "havc come
before this committee TO testify. but
where they did not evade entirelv the
subject of the international meat pool
they answered enormously. This is
combination of American packers
which has for one Of its purposes.
among other things, the allotment OF
space for meat shipments from South
America to the United States as we'll
as to Europe.
"They say that the restriction and
apportlonment of space were sanctioned
by the British government in whose
SHIPS the meats from South America
was carried. They have said that the
British government, as 4 war measure
TO insure the feeding of civilian popu-
latlons abroad and the armies Of the
Allies, arranged the percentage these
packers were to have of cargo space.
However, it is q fact that meeting
was held in Chicago at which these
very percentages were agreed upon
by the representatives Of the packers.
and that meeting took place two years
before the outbreak of the war in
Europe.
"Al this in itself offers proof or
the charge made by the Federal Trade
Commiss on
