At Last.

At Last.
Washington, June 2S-(Special cor
respondence) - Secretary of Wa
Weeks is to recommend to Congress
that no more money be spent on the
Muscle Shoals project in Alabama.
He thinks it would be better to aban-
don the project entirely than to throw
good money after bad. 1t is estimated
that $50, 900, 900 more would be re-
uuired to finish the work. Millions
upon millions were spent at that point
during the previous administration,
until Muscle Shoals came to be known
as the dumping ground for appropri-
ations. Secretary Weeks intends to
ascertain if private individuals can
be found willing to take over the plant
and operate it. If none can be found
it is likely that the project will be
abandoned. d.
An Ohio Idea.
Senator Frank B. Willis of Ohio
believes there should be an absolute
prohibition against the mourning of
deficiencies by the heads of Govern
ment departments. While he was Gov
ernor of Ohio there was a law of that
nature. An emergency fund was APP
propriated by the State legislature for
use in case of real emergencies, but it
could not be drawn against without
the approval of an emergency COM
mittee. 81 seen no reason, said Sem
ator Willis, "why such an arrange
ment could not be applied readily and
speedily to these organizations OF the
Federal Government" Mr.. Willis is
devoting himself to the question of
economy, and is cooperating with his
Republican colleagues in working out
a plan for effecting material reduc-
tions in the national expenditures.
Fernald Furnishes Peg
Senator Bert NJ. Fernald is an I'M
alterable opponent of government by
commissions. As an instance of how
: Federal commission may increase
\ its original size and scope, Mr..
I'D cites the Federal Trade Com
Ion. In 1914, it consisted of five
men, but now there are 41S employees,
and its work costs the Government a
million dollars a year. During the
last campaign Mr.. Fernald says he
confined his speeches to the league of
nations and Federal extravaganza.

Washington. "The farmers of this
country will be quite satisfied" de-
clares Senator Fernald, eff Congress
now drives in a peg to stop the crea-
ton Of any more commissions. They
understand this question well. They
are not to be fooled. The farmers of
this country are about as intelligent
as any particular class we have, and
they cannot be fooled by being told
that we can create a comission here
that will give them higher prices for
their products or their live stock" Mr..
Fernald directed his argument spe-
officially against the so-called packer
bill, and the additional cost of admin
istration that the provisions of that
measure would place upon the Govern
ment.

BIGGEST OIL STRIKE
TO DATE IN STATE

Hardin, Mont, June 3O.-What is
believed to be the biggest oil strike so
far made in Montana was made yes
terday in No. 2 we'll Of the Western
States Oil and Land Company, which
is an offset to No. l discovery and
nearer the axis of the Soap creek
structure than the first hole. Oil was
encountered Saturday and this morn
ing at a depth Of 1850 feet the drill
penetrated the Tensleep sand and the
oil Immediately gushed to the sur
face and shot into the air.
The officials of the company gave it
their opinion that when allowed to
go at full capacity the we'll will make
a 5000 barrel producer.
The reason for the increased flow
over No. l is that this we'll is nearer
the axis of the field.

The Payne Idea.

"The abandonment by the Ways and
Means committee of its time-honored
method of fixing the base rate in
Schedule X on wool in the grease,
and making the base rate to conform
10 the secured pound is considerable
of a tribute to the late Hon. Serene
f. Payne" says a member of the
Republican Publicity association.
"Mr. Payne for many years was chair
man of that Committee and labored
long and earnestly for the principle.
"When the Democratic tariff law
was introduced in 1913 Mr.. Payne,
then minority leader in Congress, Of
fered a substitute for schedule X (the
wool schedule), paragraph Z of which
read:-
"'The duty on all woods and hair
of class l, if imported in the grease,
shall be laid up the basis of it's clean
content. The clean content shall be
determined by securing tests which
shall be made according to regula-
lions which the Secretary of the
Treasury may prescribe
"In commenting upon this phase
of the wool tariff Mr.. Payne de-
clared: Now, l want to say, in con-
c~lusion, that in my judgment the
principles of this substitute will yet
be written into a tariff law. A SEN
sible, reasonable duty on wool, on
the wool content, will be a feature of
the next protective bill that is made
up and put on the statute books. 1t
is so reasonable and so sensible that
if you gentlemen on that side eve
again revise the tariff and come to
the rescue of the sheep as well as
the goats of the country you will
put it there =. and when you go
to bed and sleep over it you will pat
yourselves on the back because Of the
fact that, Notwithstanding the idea
originated on this side of the house,
you have solved the question Of a
wool tariff in this country and have
the proper basis, which, carried out,
gives no more duty on wool content
per pound in the wool in the manu-
featured article than it does Of wool
in the grease
"Mr. Payne at this time did not be-
lieve that the present Democratic tar
iff law would survive for long, nor
would it have done so had it not been
for the 'he kept us out of war fake.
He recognized the futility of con-
vincing the free traders, saying:
Confident that this will go into a
tariff bill in the near future, I am
reconciled to whatever you do in the
Underwood bill on any subject Of
down in favor Of free wool. Mr..
Payne died in 1914, but the fairness
and practicability of the method he
so long advocated made an appeal to
his Republican colleagues which has
endured since that time and which

STATE COLLEGE HONOR
SYSTEM IS SUSPENDED
Students Attitude Causes Ac-
tion of Faculty.

STATE COLLEGE. Pa, June ). - After
months of consideration, In which there
has been n steadily increasing sentiment
against retention Of the honor system
as it has been in effect at the Pennsyl-
vanla state College for six years. the
faculty tonight voted unanimously in
favor Of its temporary suspension.
A recent student vote failed to amend
the system so as TO place IL on more
efficient basis TO satisfy those students
and faculty members opposed to II, and
the faculty action has been accepted as
tho most logical step.
More cases of violation have been dealt
with by the student honor court since the
war period than In the four years pre-
