FEDERAL VERSUS

Defenders Of the Federal grain stan
dards in seeking arguments against Ibis
eralizing the present arbitrary rules,
prate a great deal about the spread
in prices and contend that the changes.
urged by the farmers will still further
lower the grades and thereby increase:
the spreads. A brief glance sOyer the
market prices Of wheat in the years be-
fore the Federal standards went into
effect will show at once that no such
wide price spreads as now prevail We're
known in-the old days. Now grain men
tell the Secretary of Agriculture that
choice wheat has been selling at 42c.
a bushel. above No. l dark northern, the
highest grade and that a '.furt Their low
ering of this standard would be dis
astrous.'' Federal grain supervisors
sing the same song in protesting against
towering the grades and call atten-
ton to the fact that there often is a
spread Of 20 cents in single grade.
Thatesuch is the case is not surprising
when it is understood that the present
Federal grades are mainly artificial and
are not based upon the value Of the
grain. The former Minnesota grades
were natural standards, based mainly
upon the milling qualities or values Of
the grain, in consequence, no such ire
mendous spreads were known when
the state grades prevailed.
Just an Illustration !: On July 80,
1917, No. i hard was quoted at SIS ;;
No. / northern, from $2.9 to So 95 No:
p northern, from $2.87 to s.. So; No 3
northern, from $3.50 to $2.87. In other
words, there was then spread Of only
10 cents in four grades under state
standards as compared with the spread
of from 20 to 40 cents in only one grade
of the present Federal standards.
This comparis on speaks for itself and
disposes of the bugaboo Of lower grades.

100000 MORE
FOR DRY FUND
Kramer Assailed by Good
For Seeking Additional
Appropriation
VIOLATION OF
ACT is CHARGED

WASHINGTON. May 24-To
= continue enforcement OF prohibition
until July 1. the House has granted
: 100000 to John F. Kramer. Fed
erai Prohibition Commissioner, by
adopting an amendment TO the De-
: 1iciency Appropriation Bill offered by
Representative Volstead. The vote
was n to 3s. showing barely more
: than a quorum present.
Representative Byrns, OF Tennes-
see, attacked the Administration for
. failure TO submit to the House APP
preparations Committee an estimate
OF the deficiency appropriation re-
quired.
There was no estimate to the
Committee on Appropriations" Mr..
Good, chairman, declared. 'The
gentleman knows full well that Mr..
Kramer had this year $4,000. 900 for
= the enforcement of prohibition, and
the law provides that he shall so
allot It by months and quarters that
: there will be no deficiency at the
end Of the year, and that he could
waive the deficiency II he thought
necessary.
Mr.. Kramer did not waive It. He.
therefore, would be liable to the
penal provisions OF the law provid-
ing that he may be removed and tina.
he may be sent to Jail. And so,
having put himself in that position,
he was hardly in a place where he
could come to Congress and ask for
additional funds"
Pointing out that 100 Federal pro-
hibition enforcement agents are go-
ing to be laid of unless relief Is
given. Mr.. Bryns said a change in
prohibition enforcement officer, as
predicted by Mr.. Longley, Of Ken
lucky. would not improve the SIT
uation.
There was an estimate made for
S2.0OO,O 900 for the first Deficiency
Bill" Mr.. Volstead declared. THAI
was intended to cover the expense;
Up TO the first Of next July. That was
submitted to the Appropriation,

Statements that electric light, eleva-

lack of appropriation by the regular

maintenance were "unwarranted pro-

The committee was appointed under

yesterday. The resolution asked an IN.
vestigation of why the service had
been cut off although the regular ses-
sion had appropriated $4,000 for capi-
tol maintenance.
The report declared the appropria-
ton had been passed by the legisia'

matter was due to an error in the esti-

was acknowledged by Joe +. clark
