Although the Department of Agri.

pfoprlAtiene beginning tyiY than
IN the presen. fiscal year, the ad-
ministratlve end of the department
in this city will suffer little as a re.

The great feree. Of the cut In ap:

Meredith Of the department. scores

abandoned or materially reduced

But activities In the department
IN this city Will be continued in the
next fiscal year r,rch as during the

The office Of farm management plane
to extend Its work somewhat during
the next fiscal year, although but a
slight increase In personnel will re-
suit. The office VIII increabe the num- =
Der of farms on which II Ia making
cost records.
Secretary Meredith believes that
there is q great deal more to the
question Of reduction Of field work
in his department than mere dollars
and cents.
Would Have Been Handicapped.
"A dollar. as we all know" he said,
buys much less Of everything than
1t formerly bought and also does con-
siderably less work. Even II all the
appropriations had been retained at
the old figures, therefore. the depart
ment would have been seriously han
dicapped in carrying on its work ef-
fectively."
1t Is not believed by officials at this
time that the administrative work In
any lines will have to be cut off. While
the work win be continued in the bu-
reaus, divisions and laboratories In
this city, the hurt will be felt through
lack of funds to carry on the work
throughout the country.

dled a statement estimating that IL
Pullman passengers had paid a sur
charge of one half cent d mile during

would have been added to the road 8
earnings.
IN It's petition the Pullman Com
pany held that application Of such a
surcharge would increase Pullman
rates I'd per cent over those In ef-
feet previous to May 4 1920. as the
surcharge would be added to the in
crease Of 30 per cent granted BY the
commission to the company at that
time.

right Of Victor Berger TO take his seat
Announcement Of the contest was made
Yesterday after notice had been served

The basis Of the contest is that Mr..
Berger is disqualified from holding the

void
"The first basis Of the proceeding is
D that person who is VIGOROUSLY dis
qualified and ineligible cannot be voted
for and that votes cast for such a per-
son are OF no effect and that 1t results
i'm effect IN a negatiOn rather than an
