basis. and thus dispose of the bulk of
the wheat surplus of the United
States, with the result that the price
Of wheat in this country will advance
materially.
The Gould plan was embodied in
bills introduced in congress in the last
session which met defeat before oppo-
sition Of Eugene Meyer, Jr., managing
director of the War Finance corpora
tion, and others. 1t was Mr.. MEYERS
contention that foreign purchasers are
able to get ample credit through ordi-
nary banking channels and that those
who would take advantage of govern
ment credit would do so because of in
ability TO offer satisfactory security to
bankers.
The scheme for disposlng of the
wheat surplus proposes that the 10
100000 bushels should be taken from
different sections of the country, 3d.
100000 bushels to come from the
states east Of the Rockies. 10,UOO,0OO
bushels from the Pacific coast and 10,-
100000 bushels of durum wheat. One
third the wheat would be in flour. All
would be American grown and all the
flour would be ground in American
mills. 1t is proposed that percentage
would be shipped in shipping board
vessels and the remainder in German
vessels

Senator Hiram Johnson proposes in a bill to amend
the Esch-Cummins act that railroads will be forbid
den from declaring dividends until the interstate com
merce commission has certified that their railroad
equipment is sufficient to meet the roads needsn other
words until the railroad has rails engines and care suf
ficient to handle the business coming to it.
Senator Johnson ought to be commended from Wash
ington to Florida and from New England to California
wherever shippers whether orchardsts manufacturers
stock raisers or farmers are pleading for railroad relief
This plan Of Senator Johnsons is doubly worthy of q
hearing because it emanaes from the representative Of
state which for generations the princpaty of
great transcontnenta railroad system. California has
known what is to be under rail tyranny and if her
