WORD FROM WASHINGTON
Father of All Houses

Washington, Jan. l1.-(Special cor
respondence) .-"Uncle Joe" Cannon,
Congressman from Illinois, now holds
the record for length of service in the
House of Representatives. The late
Senator Morrill, of Vermont served in
he House and Senate for total of
43 years, months, and "a days. On
December 2S Mr.. Cannon completed a
like period of service, and, as he has
been reelected for the term ending
March 4, 1929. there is no reason why
he should not exceed by several years
the Morrill, record; in fact, his age and
health alone appear to interfere with
his ambition to exceed the Gladstone
record of 53 years in the British House
of Commons. Mr. Cannon will be S5
years old next May, and his hope is
to reach the ripe old age of 100.

What an Awful Record

Secretary Baker tells Congress that
he has incurred deficit in his depart
ment during the current year OF $780,
100000. That means that he has spent
that sum in excess of the amount al
lotted TO the War Department in the
appropriations for the fiscal year 1921.
The chief item in that deficit is for
pay of the army. The current ap-
propriation bill limited the size of the
army to 175,OOO men, but Mr.. Baker
has recruited it up to about 22O,OOO
men and is still advertising for more.

Congressman Moses P. Kinkaid of
Nebraska was vigorous supporter of
the tariff bill recently passed by the
House for the protection of agricul-
tural products. He contended that
farmers are not prepared to protect
their interests, and have not the or
ganizations possessed by manufactur-
ers and other industries for that pur-
pose. "All of the products listed in
this BILL" declared Mr.. Kinkaid. "have

ing into the United States from for
eign countries and sold in our markets
in competition with our own products.
Is it fair to give the foreign produc-
cr financial advantage over the
American market? The pending bill is
intended to right this manifest wrong

for America and American producers"

pass on to the purchaser the informa-

The label should contain the follow

its adaptability for the locality in
which it is to be planted may be known.
2. The variety.

COMMON WEED PROVES
BAD PEST IN MANY
SECTIONS OF STATE
Perennial Peppererass Invades Alfalfa
Fields in Some Places and Wipes
Out Every Plant in, Very Short
Time.-Heavy Root System
Aids it Greatly in
Spreading.

The weed commonly known as Per-
ennial Peppergrass is causing the
farmers of various parts of the state
considerable trouble if their appeals
can be taken as an indication Of the
actual conditions. 1t seems to be
spreading rapidly over the agricultur-
al areas of the state and is proving
one of the worst of noxious weeds.
Patches in alfalfa fields have been
invaded by this pest and the alfalfa
plants completely wiped out in short
time Its great system of roots which
live from year to year and spread
with great rapidity enables it to cover
an immense amount of ground within
very short period of time.
A. X. Petersen and K. T. Burdick,
members of the Colorado Experiment
Station staff at Fort Collins, to whom
many of the appeals were addressed.
have issued preliminary report OH
this weed which is now available for
free distribution. 1t is bulletin 264,
In the meantime these men are investi-
eating the proposition of eradicating
it with the least expense and most eff
ficient results. This report will be
out at later date.
With the almost simultaneous. ap-
pearance of this weed in Colorado.
Wyoming and New Mexico comes the
suggestion that it was carried into this
country in foreign grown seed. prob
ably alfalfa seed. If such is the case,
it appears more logical to prevent its
distribution rather than attempt to
eradicate it after it has infested the
state.
As the safest method of preventing
its distribution these men suggest that
every farmer have his alfalfa seed
tested at the Colorado Seed Labora-
tory and if found to contain any seed
of this pest, that the entire shipment
of seed be refused.

Democrats Have an Excuse

In consistency with their platform
pledges, the democrats in the Senate
can heartily support the agricultural
tariff bill which is now pending in that
body. 1t is true that they are oppos-
ed to = protective tariff and could not
consistently support the measure be-
cause of its protective features, but
the Democratic platform of 1920 con-
tanned this declaration on the subject
of the tariff:
I'VE affirm the traditional policy
OF the Democratic party in favor of a
tariff for revenue only"
The present Democratic tariff is
yielding an average ad valorem rev.
nue. of o little more than 6 per cent.
The ordinary Republican tariff law
yielded an average of IS per cent. of
course, the Republican law provided a
considerable measure of protection,
but if we look at it entirely from the
viewpoint of the Democratic principle
of revenue il was q law superior to
that which the Democrats enacted in
its stead. The Democratic tariff law
is producing IN annual revenue from
customs OF about $360,0O0,000. If the
rates of import duty were increased
to the Republican standard there
could quite likely be derived through
the Customs Houses national revenue
of nearly a billion dollars. The meas
ure now pending in the Senate is not
q complete tariff law and was hastily
drawn, so that it should be considered
emergency legislation, 1t applies al
most entirely to agricultural products,
but it is a step in the direction of in
creased revenue through the Customs
Houses and, because of that feature of
it. the Democrats can properly give it
their support. The fact that the law
will afford some protection for the pro-
ducers of agricultural products in his
State ought not be given as an excuse
by any Democrat for his failure to
support the bill.

lated part Of his garden to grow seed
for next year. He remarked 10 a
neighbor woman about the time that
"the blackbirds and sparrows had moi
succeeded In finding his seed corn this
year" The second morning after
making this remark he found about
forty blsckbirds, near sunup, busily
devouring his corn. He 'shooed"
them away aid that evening pulled
all the ears and put them away for
safe keeping. The next morning he
looked out to See whether any black
birds were on hand. Sure enough an

Better Times Close BY

Comments from an article in "The
New York Journal of Commerce" by
Mr.. A. Barton Hepburn, Chairman of
the Advisory Board of The Chase Ma
tional Bank. New York City.
What we now most need is to re-
cover from the spirit of pessimism and
realize the great strength in the re-
sources of our country"
There is danger that curtailment of
business may be carried to an extreme,
as unwise expansion was in the months
following the armistice"
"We have more than hundred mil
lion people who must be fed, clothed,
housed, and who have other imperative
needs. Manufacturers should continue
to make goods from raw materials at
the reduced cost in volume sufficient
to meet public requirements. Whole
salers should buy, these goods and pass
them on to retailers, as the public
surely will require them in large vol
ume."
"The credit fabric of he country
find to be fundamentally sound. The
commercial banks and Federal Reserve
Bank are quite able to care for public
needs. This has been amply proven
in the past two years"
"A recent practice in our business
activities is very wrong. People order
goods freely to meet their needs and
then refuse to accept and pay for the
same if convenient; and if prices fall
off it is usually inconvenient. The
wholesale welshing of contracts to
purchase goods is mainly responsible
for the embarrassment in commercial
business today"
There may be trouble in spots, but
nothing. | believe, that cannot be sue
eessfully overcome. l believe the banks
of the country are prepared to and
fully able to protect our credit fabric.
Let us preside with manly confidence"
