GRAIN EMBARGO URGED.
Commerce Commission Considers
Ban on Canadian Product.

The Interstate Commerce Commits
sion has taken under consideration
demands from western grain shipping
interests, supported by the American
Farm Bureau Federation, for an en-
barge on shipment of Canadian grain
through the United States during the
present congestion of traffic. 1t is
likely that a decision. or at least a
response to the protesting groups,
will be given by the commission soon,
but II is considered doubtful whether
the steps requested will be taken by
the commission.
The difficulty of which the Ameri-
can grain producers and shippers have
complained has arisen from the fact
that immense quantities of Canadian
grain have been put afioat on the
great lakes. increasing congestion at
Buffalo, where the water route termi-
mates, and limiting the amount of
grain that can be moved through At
lantic ports. Inability of western
grain growers to get grain moved
through the great lakes and upon the
Atlantic seaboard Is said to have re-
suited in price discrimination
against the interior grain. The COM
plainants declared that II Canadian
grain could be kept off American rail-
roads and away from lake terminals
on the American side. American pro-
ducers might be able to get all the
advantage of the higher price.

Bruce's majority will be as much, II
not more. The indications are. how
ever, that a very much smaller vote
will be polled, which will mean a
smaller majority for Bruce than that

how Mr.. Bruce can fail to carry the
county by less than 500 or 1000.
While he will lose some democratic
votes, republican support will. 1t is
thought, more than make 1t up.

Public Ownership Only Remedy
: That is the result of our present
system of the. private ownership of
public utilities The fruits of that
system are before the public: Ora
duated income taxes and graduated
inheritance taxes have been no pro-
lection against the evils of enormous
accumulation created by the private
ownership Of public utilities.

public or to free institutions; no guar
antee of reasonable rates to the pub
lie; nor of fair and reasonable hours
and wages to the laboring element

the tree by adoption of public owner
ship for all public utilities.
All the wages Of employees in all
public utilities are paid by the public.
There can be no reason why there
should be added further payments by
the public which shall give to those
who received their franchises as a gift
from the public the enormous profits
which enable them to pluck from the
public in few years more than they
could earn in thousands of years.
