CALDER BILL HAS
 BUT LITTLE CHANCE

Washington, February 22. (---Special.) Senator Edward J. Gay of Louisiana democratic member of the committee on reconstruction and production, in rendering his minority report on the Calder bill, providing for government supervision of the coal industry de- clared that the advocacy by Congress of such a measure would ultimately lead to government supervision, then control, then ownership of all other enterprises producing necessities of life
 Some weeks ago when it became ap- parent that Senator Calder, who evil dently regards as one the anthracite and bituminous industries, was serious in his desire to put the government in charge of the coal supply, it was stated in this correspondence that his bill would never be enacted into law There is now no evidence to the con- trary. But the bill is on better foot ing than it was thought in the begin ming that it would ever be able to ob- tain. The American Fedora tion of La bor, though frightened lest certain of the provisions of the bill would initiate against it. ardently supports the main principle involved. The various ag- gressive farmers organizations have likewise exerted pressure But the

bill at the same time is apparently hopeless of enactment.
 Senator Gay makes the point that while there was profiteering, opera tors in the main. were consderate, equally as considerate as dealers in other necessities confronted by a high ly stimulated market. For much of the shortage, with elevated prices, he holds inadequate car service. increased demand and industrial te-ups respon- sible. The bituminous situation. he declares, is good, and he makes the point that on account of limited anthracite that variety of coal must more and more each year be regarded as luxury fuel"
 While favoring "the procurement of full statistics as to the production and 'consumption of coal" Senator Gay op- poses the Calder bill as federal inter- ference with the ordinary process of business"
 T do not believe that anything in the present or prospective condition of the coal industry warrants any such measures and doubt seriously whether Congress has any such author ity to control and regulate business as is here attempted says the senator.
 T certainly am not aware of any peace-time authority which Congress Hds to uetermlne prices or comm OdltieS or to authorize the executive depart ment to fix and regulate prices of commodities or margins of profit whenever an emergency shall be de- clared to exist
 There is no telling what interpreta ton will be placed upon the term. emergency. There would be a great temptation for consumers-particu ly large consumers-to interpret the term very liberally. perhaps, at any tune that the price did not suit them.
 IT adopted, believe it would prove the entering wedge for wide spread system of attempted federal regula- tion of the lumber. wheat cotton oil metal mining. iron and steel manufac- turing and other industries. which is repugnant to every principle of Amer 1can institutions since the foundation of our government"

cffice appropriation bill. Senator Moses declared that under the law New Hampshire would contribute just as Alabama would contribute, but would not be benefited, whereas Alabama would be benefited. He referred to the fact that New Hampshire already pos sesses good roads.
 Senator Heflin immediately called attention to and rebrked the fact that certain opposition to the bill was based on sectionalism, and reminded 1he Senate that the Civil war came tC an end in 1865. Rather testify, Senator Moses rejoined with declaratiop that New Hampshire last year paid S30,- 000.G00 for southern cotton Senator Iieflin, not at all convinced that such fact indicated devotion to the south on the part of New Hampshire, re- torted with the statement that in all probability, New Hampshire had re- turned the cotton as finished product at an enormous profit.
 WEST IS CHANGED
 Senator Moses had entered into the Muscle Shoals appropriations as am other indication of the love of New England for the south, when Senator Simmons of North Carolina, took the floor and indu ed the discussion back into fundamental channels.
 There was just one feature of the debate which augured some danger for the cooperative gy4tem of road con- struction. Senator Townsend of Michl- gan, chairman of the postoffice and postroads committee, declared it as fact that extravaganza had been prac- ticed in spending the government s money for road wrk, and that as re- suit of "prodigal waste changes in the system should be wrought.
 Senator Hef,in challenged this as sertion, and then conferred with the chief of the bureau of roads in the department of agriculture, who de- clared that no complaint of money wasted had reached him.
 ''In all the work that has been done" said Senator Heflin, T have never heard of graft connected. with it, nor the theft of single dollar And want to say for those in charge of the construction of highways that they are entitled to be complimented. They have handled hundreds of millions of dollars. and their splendid work is en- titled to praise and commendation at the hands of the Senate"

CATARRHAL DEAFNESS
 MAY BE OVERCOME

If you have Catarrhal Deafness or are even just a little hard of hearing or have head noises go to your druggist and get 1 ounce of Parmint (double strength), and add to it A pint of hot water and a little granulated sugar. Take tablespoonful four times a day
 This will often bring quick relief from the distressing head noises. Clogged nostrils should open, breathing become easy and the mucus stop dropping into the throat. It is easy to prepare, costs little and is pleasant to take. Anyone losing hearing or who has Catarrhal Deafness or head noises should give this prescription a trial,--Ady.

Opposition In Senate Largely Confined to Senator Moses, Who Can't Remember
 Civil Wars Ended
By HUGH w. ROBERTS Washington Bureau The Age-Herald 800 Davidson Rnilding


 Washington, February 22.-(Special) In the extraordinary session, it is gen orally admitted that Congress will provide for continuation of road construction throughout the United States on the cooperative or recip- rocal basis.
 The fact that the Senate has already declined to act, and in all probability will not act this session, is not due to opposition on the part of a majority of senator's to the extension of old for highway building. The Senate, like the House, has a special desire to hold down the expenses of this session of Congress.
 It is very true. however that every body in the Senate does not favor the existing scheme of road building. Senator Thomas of Colorado for in- stance, thinks that each state should do it's, own constructions Senator Moses of New Hampshire fears that the south will receive a greater bene- fit than the North Atlantic coast be- cause the states of that region have already built fine roads There are others who would amend the law un2 der the gu.se of improving it, and thus eliminate some. of it's features which have proved of great value.
 Senator Towncend of Michigan hesitates to proceed because of his be- lief that great sums of money have been wasted. And there are others who will prove themselves obstruc- tionists. But the appropriation, even- xxrfI1 No
