CAPPER MEASURE TO HELP FARMERS PASSED BY SENATE
Bill Enacted With No Opposi- ton After Successfully Re- sisting Amendments.
 New Ship Proposal
Bs Associated Press

WASHINGTON, Jan. 19.-Passa ge by the Senate toGay of the Capper agricultural credits bill was followed by arrangements for immediate con- sideration of the supplementary farm credits measure. the Lenroot-Ander- son bill. Intervention of an apprc : priation bill and other measures, howevee. threatened to defer open ing of 4eebate onsthe tsenroo l. .sn5sr- son measure rntil Monday.
 The Capper bill was passed without opposition or a roll call but after several futile attempts had been made to amend it. Considerable crit icism fevolved about it's alleged in- sufficiency to aid the farmer and ad- vocates of the Lenroot-Anderson bill contend that it will go much further.
 Administration leaders are agreed on a policy Of holding the Lenroot- Anderson bill before the Senate until disposed of before proceeding with the administration shipping bill. It Is hoped to reach a vote on the last farm credit bill next week and there by break the legislative jam which has held up the shipping measure.
 A substitute shipping bill, intro duced today by Senator Mcclellan, democrat of Tennessee, would strike out the cash government aid provis ion of the administration bill, abro- gate commercial treaties which Con gress sought to annul fer some time, abolish discriminating rates from Atlantic ports and declare a l0-year policy of government ship operation.
 Promised Support
 The Mcclellan bill was sad to be promised considerable support, es- pecially from democratic opponents of the administration measure. His substitute would prove in lieu of the cash aid of the administration bill, five Der cent rebate to importers Cf gools in government vessels. It would retain provisions of the ad ministrat tion bill relating to mail and immigration contracts, tonnage duties and for cooperation of rail- roads with American shipping lines which would be ordered established by the shipping board by direct gov ernment operation or lease.
 Prompt consideration by the House of the Senate's farm credits pro- gram Is said to be assured. a com mittee already being at work on the matter. In bo tn the Senate and House the principal contest over the legis- lation ,s predicted for the Lenroot- Anderson bill because of it's govern ment aid features through plans for federal subscription of s60.000, 900 stock for 12 new credit departments fer the farm loan board, one in each reserve district.
 The Capper bills principal prov sions is for the organization of CO., operative credit associations with S250,000 capital and amendments to the federal reserve act designed to extend farmers credits.

NEW ERA IN ELECTRICITY
GRAPHICALLY PICTURED
Geological Survey Official Ex-
plains Water Power

A saving Of 158,OOO,O0O tons Of coal
annually is possible by utilization of
the power now going to waste in the
Niagara and St. Lawrence rivers,
William S. Murphy, c-2a-rman Of the
Super-Powcr Survey Commission Of
the United States Geological Survey
declared one day last week in an adj
dress at the ffty-ffth commencement
Of Lehigh University at Bethlehem,
Pa. He pictured a new electrical era
in which power will be distributed
TO public utilities through great cen
tral companies.
God protect the prosperity of our
country if we do not fight to the last
I@op Of our blood these political prop
agaEdists who, under the guise of
that misleading terms public owner
ship or power at cost advocate that
we turn over the electric utilities of
the nation to the government" Mr.
Murray said Government was never
meant to own or operate, but to con-
troll business.
Let us accelerate the distribution
Of certificates Of ownership Of oul
utilities among our own people and
when the vote comes to a test as it
did in California last November, ther
viii the people not only own these
utilities themselves, but preserve this
efficiency within the ranks of THEN

"The fourth stage Of electric utility
expansion is ahead. The electric util

leaving the function of the electric
utilities only to distribute the energy
( so received, to the consumers within

ON The OLD NATIONAL
HIGHWAY EAST 70 WEST
Ideal Tourist Route from Wash
ingtOn to St, Louis and It's
Historical Interest

The call of the open road makes a
varied appeal to motorists, says the
Concrete Highway Magazine.To many
it speaks only Of the joy Of movement
over the long stretches Of paved high
way. Others it entices with promises
of enhancing views Of mountain,
stream and meadows, gloriiied in a
flood of summer sunshine. The antic-
ipation of visiting old taverns, famous
landmarks and scenes Of historic in
terest, is the strongest lure to some.
To others it calls with the irresistible
urge of combination Of all these
experiences.
No matter what the appeal, tour
of the National Pike from Washing
ton to St Louis will meet in fullest
meausre every desire Of the motorist.
There are miles Of superb pavement;
scenes Of quiet beauty and ragged
grandeur; and historic associations
unsurpassed along any highway in the
nation.
Mile after mile Of perfect motoring
pleasure is assured. The entire high
way is improved with surfaces rang
ing from gravel ana macadam to con-
crete-a ,clItable boulevard. All
along the route are sections Of paved
road, reaching their climax in the al

Of the Mississippi.
There is no more fascinating chap
ter in the history Of Americas
growth and expansion than the story
of the National Pike. II 1906 the an
dent plea Of Henry Clay, then United
States senator from Kentucky, did
much to secure tire passage Of an act
authorizing the construction Of a ma
tional toll free pike from the Poto-
mac to the Ohio. Later this act was
extended to provide for the continual
ton Of the road to the Mississippi.
Soon after President Thomas Jetfer-
son had appointed three discreet and
disinterested citizens of the United
States" to examine the territory. sur
veyors were laying out route close
ly followed the trails traversed by
Christopher Cist, the famous cout
guide and pathfinder Of the Ohio Com
pany, and by George Washington on
his journey to Fort LeBoeuf in 1888.
The pike, as it was then called, al
once became the restless young ma
tons principal outlet to that vast ter
ritory known as the west. Over il
moved the colorful procession of the
pioneer. In places the road was eigh-
ty feet wide, for not only coaches and
wagons were accommodated, but huge
drovcs of cattle wendell their way to
new grazing grounds.
Substantial taverns We're erected at
convenient intervals along the pike
Here travellers spent the night and
horses were changed for the next lar
Of the journey. The stage drivers
would dash proudly into town, blow
ing their horns to prepare grooms
for the business ike change of horses
which must take place in three min
utes, for from Frostburg, Wheeling
must be reached in thirty hours, Co.
| lumbus in forty-hve and indianapolis
in siXty-Gve and a half. Distinguished
1 personages, such as Jackson, Harri
son, Sam Houston, Taylor, Dayy
/ Crockett, Henry Clay and others were
we'll known to the jovial tavern keep
ers along the way.
Motorists, speeding over the wei
paved pike today, miss some Of the
Joys which older travellers experience,
during idle evenings around the biz
stoves or open hearths Of the taverns
But there is much to stir the mag;
nation. Relies Of the old pike apeal

tons of coal annually.

tons of coal annually.
Fifty million tons of coal could be
saved each year in the so-called su-
per-power zone, comprising the ter
ritory between Boston and Washing
ton and inland from the coast $50
miles" Mr. Murray declared. IF
electric utilities within the zone met
future load requirements by extend
ing their power facilities Jointly by
constructing large hydro-electric and
steam-electric plants, this also would
save the electric utilities over $780,
100000, including an annual eXpendi-
ture Of S40,000,0O0 for amortization.
How is it that the utilities Of the
North, the South and the West, with
far less opportunity to conserve the
national resources of this country, are
in closer association than We" he
asked. The answer is very simple.
Their spirit Of cooperation has been
better than ours, not so much be-
cause our eastern companies do not
desire to cooperate, but because of
the ridiculous laws now eXtant which
inhibit that cooperation. Maine does
not allow the export of power. Con-
necticut does not allow its importa-
lion. Many Of the states do not grant
rights to eminent domain. One state
is not willing to exchange energy
derived from water for energy de-
rived from coal"
