MIR. Silvers' entire application
seems framed with the welfare OF
the Canadian. and not the American

matter of no small wonder that the
American Farm Bureau Federation
is SO ardent in its championship of
the Canadian cattle man and so en-.

II cattle for instance are import

the increased supply will. OF course
reduce still further the value of our
stockers and feeders. 1t will also
have a seriously detrimental effect
on the whole industry. The increas-
ed supply of feeder cattle will in
crease the supply OF finished beef and
will thus reduce the price of the fin
ished product. To increase the sup
ply of finished cattle will allow the
big packers an opportunity to fur

ut seems apparent that when
these conditions exist it is not too
much to say that a reduction of the
tariff as asked for by Mr.. Silver and
the American Farm Bureau Fedora

to the people of the range country.
The producer of the foundation of
beef in this country is entitled to

I'VE believe that the cattle tariff
should be both a protective and a
revenue tariff. That the present
tariff does operate as a restriction on
the Importation OF Canadian cattle
is demonstrated by the filing of the
Farm Bureaus application. The
producer Of cattle in this country is
entitled to protection from his gov.

as a manufactured. as Mr.. Silver
calls the cattle feeder.
The American producer Of live.
stock pays taxes upon his land, upon
his cattle, and upon his income for
the support of his state and national
governments. His competitor in
Canada pays no taxes for the sup

reason why the American producer
should be given an advantage over
his foreign competitor. We can sec

With these improvements the

to finance, for in this business there
are two sales a year. wool and NUT
ton, while in cattle, grazing for
beef production there is but one.
The greatest changes in the entire
livestock industry have been caused
by homesteaders and the constant
passing of the open range into pri.
vate ownership. Keeping cattle on
the open range was a great industry
before sheep raising got started in
Wyoming. This state was the very
last to welcome sheep and one early
government report on the sheep in.
dustry of the state says that there
were owe two million cattle in
Wyoming before there was a single
sheep.
When I settled in this particular
part OF Wyoming in 1881, there
were no sheep. nor settlers. 1t was
just a big wide open COW range.
For 60 miles up and down this
wonderful Platte valley. there were
only four important COW ranches,

Then in the later eighties came

months in the year, but the sheen

Plot
Senator Sutherland Charges
Fraud in Sales Of War
Surplus.

A thorough investigation Of
charges Of waste and mismanage-

the United States Veterans Blu
reau will be recommended 10 the
Senate in q report being drafted
today BY = special committee on
disqualification.
Evidence Of Conspiracy.
Senator Howard Sutherland Of
West Virginia. chairman Of the
committee. declared evidence that
former officials Of the Bureau were
involved in a conspiracy to de-
fraud the Government has been
presented.
Under the recommendations q
joint committee Of the Senate and
House, would sit during the spring
and simmer TO bel ready to make
It's report to the Sixty-eighth Con-
gress in December. IS
t Conspiracy to defraud the Gov
eminent in disposal Of surplus war
supplies stored at Perryville, Nd.
should be looked into at once SEN
ator Sutherland said.
More than $30.0OO.000 surplus
supplies OF blankets, sheets, cheese
cloth and similar nnateriale was
turned over to the Bureau by, the
War Department and stored at
Ilepots in North Chicago, Long
Island City, Perryville, Nd, and
Chiliicothe, Ohio, according TO the
evidence.
Sale Stopped by Sawyer.
A firm having offices In New
York and Boston was alleged to
have made q contract to buy the
supplies at Perryville, to be de-
clared surplus by the Veterans Blu
reau. Supplies at other stations
were to have been shipped to Per-
ryville until all was disposed OF un-
der the contract with the Veterans
Bureau. Re
Evidence submitted to the COM
mittee said $3,00O,000 worth Of sup
plies were sold for $3.50, 900 before
the matter was brought to the at
tention of Brig. Gen. c. T.. Sawyer,
who stopped further sale. Cost Of
shipping the goods to the depots
was about 100000.
Senator Sutherland said inforIna-
ton obtained was to the effect the
contract was illegal, bidding having
been fixed with "joker" clauses
leaving the Government no recourse
to collect damages. While the bu-
reau was thus selling sheeting on
the basis of 20A cents on the dol
lar, the Government was buying
the same material at five times that
cost, according to the disclosures.
Reported to Senators.
Col. George e. Ijams, acting di.
rector Of the Veterans Bureau, re-
ported the Irregularities of the
Perryville sale to the Senate COM
mittee. Several ex-service repre-
sentatives were heard concerning
lax methods in the bureau.
Col. Charles r. Forbes, whose
resignation as director Of the bu-
reau was recently accepted by
President Harding, was scheduled to
arrive here Friday. He will be
examined by the committee.
Senator Sutherland expressed the
opinion Colonel Forbes was not in
volved in the conspiracy.

Senate Meeting Called.

- m0SllQS OF the OSndlS Z uuhC
Buildings and Grounds Committee
has been called for tomorrow morn
ing by Senator Fernald, its chair
man. Senator Fernald is strongly
4 IN favor of keeping the hotels in
operation and is now seeking a way
by which he can prevent the evic-
tons by the demand OF the Balti-
more and Ohio railroad for return
Of Its property.
It is believed, however, that the
Senate Public Buildings and
Grounds Committee will be unable
to take effective action under the
circumstances, and that 1t will rest
with the Senate Appropriations
Committee to recommend the pay
ment to the Baltimore and Ohio Of
the rental to which it is entitled. 8
Should the Public Buildings and
Grounds Committee make an eTner-
-gency recommendation to the SEN
ate Appropriation Committee for a
deficiency appropriation to cover
the rental involved, it is probable
that the latter win take favorable
action.
Must Wait ON House.
Senator Warren. chairman of the
Appropriations Committee, today
said he. had given the matter no
attention, but indicated any request
from Senator Fernald would not be
neglected.
Inasmuch, however, as the issue
involved is a matter OF appropria-
tons, it is probable that the initial
step viii have to be taken In the
House. Confidence is expressed in
the Senate that ways and means
win be found for saving the situa-
