Congress and the Courts

One OF the first OF the great nation

was Colonel Roosevelt. But II has

At any rate he deserted the issue that
he created in the Bull Moose cam
paiyn. Nevertheless there seems 20
be a strong revival in congress oil the
proposal to get a whack" at the SUI

Congressman James Frear are NOV

Rivers and Harbors

Congress has recently been having
lis annual verbal battle over appre-
priations for rivers and harbors. Sen
ator Ransdell OF Louisiana. expressed
the viewpoint OF the proponents OF
appropriations for river Improvements
when he said: The records show that
rivers have been stinted. while harbors
have already been generously provid-
ed for Harbors are sthe natural ter
minals OF railroads. rivers are their
competitors. Draw your own con-
clusions.' Against this argument Sem
ator Smoot observed that IT would
be possible to parallel the Mississippi
River with four lines OF railroads a,
n expense no greater than I, would re-
uuire to put the river i'll shape Tor
modern navigation requirements. Just
what. or how the Mississippi lost the
prestige OF the days described by Mark
Twain in "Old Times on the Mississi-
ppi'' is not clear. although autopsies
are held onthe matter every time Con-
gress is called upon to make apprepria-
lions for the great natural highway
Many people discuss the whole sub
ject by assuming that the railroads
have backed the rivers off the tran
spor;ation horizon. There is untortun-
ately a tendency to treat the Great
Lakes with similar slight considera-
ton. Senator Rensdell. it will be OBJ
served. lays il all to the railroads
Whether he is right or rot in assum-
ing that river transportation has been
ruined by the rail carriers will not
be settled by anybody in the near
future. Nevertheless. the situation has
resolved itself to poirt where the
navigation OF the inland rivers is con
sidered by large percentage OF the
Members OF Congress as means OF
ransportation too expensive and ex'
travagant to justify its unkeep b,
the Government.

shying at the offer. since the accep-

OF between ten and fifteen thousand
dollars a year for "upkeep." And the

port of the United States Department
of Labor, more than $1,000 aliens were
refused naturalization papers by the
courts during the last fiscal year. APP
proximatcly one-third of this number
were refused American citizenship be-
cause during the war they claimed ex-
emption from military service on the
ground that they we're not American
citizens. Inasmuch as they relied up
on their alien status to escape duties
falling upon American citizens, the
courts considering their applications
felt that they should not now be en-
titled to the benefits of American citi-
xenship.

Beef production In the United States
has undergone marked changes since
1880. and chief among them Is the dif-
ference In age TO which animals des-
tined for slaughter are kept on the
farms. This Is one OF the many phases
Of the industry discussed In the 1871
Yearbook article, Our Beef Supply.
prepared by live stock specialists and
economists In the Department OF Agri-
culture. This change Is discussed In
connection with variations In the de-
mands OF consumers and the per cap
ita consumption OF beef.
With a larger proportion of beer
cows kept, and with cattle slaugh-
tered at an earlier age. II Is now pos
sible 10 raise more beef each year
than when there were more cattle
In the country than at present. How
ever, the system OF using younger cat
tie for beef involves the use OF more
harvested feed per 100 pounds Of beef
produced. since u larger proportion or
the gains In weight are made In the
feed lot than was formerly the case
when steers were carried four or five
seasons on grass.
Situation Not Serious.
While the total number OF cattle In
the country has decreased In recent
wears. the situation Is not as serious
as might appear. since the number OF
cattle Is greater now than In any year
from 1896 to 1917. The census figures
for 1900 and 1920 show that there has
been an Increase in the percentages of
beef calves, heifers. cows and bulls,
and q decrease in the percentage OF
steers. especially aged steers. The
number OF cattle In the country In
creased l0.20O.00O from 1914 to 1919
During the last three years there has
been decrease of 2.00O.000 head. but
the greater proportion Of cows at pres
ent makes 1t possible to grow more
beef. especially II more OF the calves
instead Of being slaughtered, are fed
out as yearlIngs.
That the country can readily respond

was demonstrated during the wal
