LODGE ONCE MORE

Chosen Republican Leader OF

SMALLER COMMITTEES
Democrats Will Suffer From New
Rule-No Changes in Senate
Chairmanships.

Senator Henry Cabot Lodge of Mas
sachusetts was again chosen republic
can leader of the Senate at a confer
ence of the republican senators at the
Capitol yesterday.
The republicans completed their
plans for reorganization of the new
Senate by the selection of other Off
GERS of the conference and the nomi-
nation of officials of the Senate.
Senator Charles Curtis of Kansas
was reelected vice chairman of the
conference, and Senator Wadsworth
of New York. secretary.
Senator Albert b. Cummins of Iowa
was nominated for President Pro Tenn
pore of the Senate-an Office he held
during the last Congress. His nomi-
nation is -tantamount to an election
in view of the republican majority in
the Senate, as are the nominations
for the other officers of the Senate.
George A. SanderSon was nominal
ed to be secretary of the Senate. and
David S. Barry to be sergeant-at-
arms; both are serving now in those
offices. Rev. J. J. Muir was nomi-
mated to be chaplain of the Senate.
The nominations for officers or the
Senate will be presented to the Sen
ate for action when that body meets
tomorrow.
Committee assignments were left to
the usual committee on committees.
which Senator Lodge was authorized
to appoint, together with the steering
committee.
In number and personnel all Senate
committees are to be reduced. under
new Senate rules ordered for this ses-
sion. Preponderance of republicans
in the Senate may cause the loss of
few places, but democrats. with re-
duced representation. will suffer the
most No changes in Senate chair
manships are planned.
There is considerable rivalry for
the position on the coveted foreign
relations committee. to fill the va
cancy caused by selection of former
Senator Fall as Secretary of Interior.
Senators Kellogg OF Minnesota, Nc
Cormick of Illinois and Poindexter of
Washington were said to be active
candidates for the position. with the
chances reported to favor the latter.

GRAFTON pointed out the farmers vital
interest in the railroads. since the
farmer pays half the freight bills of
the nation. Thorne was successful
last spring in reducing railroad vaiu-
alton for rate making purposes nearly
two billion dollars, thus reducing
freight 100000 year. "The magni-
tude of the farmers interest in trans
portation justifes the Federation in
maintaining transportation depart
ment second to none in the United
States" he said. "The preset rail-
road law must be amended. It is fun
damentally unsound, for it gives the
railroads guaranteed return NO mat
ter what conditions may be. In times
of industrial depression when business
falls off, the freight burden must be
made greater so that the diminished
volume of freight will net the same
amount of money for the railroads."

State Legislature were mighty pleased
with the high degree of efficiency
which the University of Missouri has
reached and the service it is rendering
to the state,
They also were in full sympathy
with the needs of the various divi-
sions of the University. One of the
chief recommendation which the COM
mittee said they would make to the
Legislature when, it convenes in jan
uary would be for an appropriation to
build another building for the College
of Agriculture.
That the College Of Agriculture has
outgrown the capacity of the present
buildings only requires walk around
the Agricultural Campus to see. Ev-
cry available conservation of space is
now being made with the present
structures and the College is working
as ever in the effort to place at the
disposal of Missouri farmers the val
liable information which it gathers
from its various activities in better
farming.
The College of Agriculture has
made its phenomenal growth upon the
basis of its service to Missouri farm
ers and another building will increase
