or other agricultural products would
purchase the scrip from the post
office and the amount paid for the
scrip would be forwarded to the
treasury to the credit of the corpo-
ration, to make up the scrip or equal
ization fund. The purchaser who
purchased the scrip for face value
and thus paid the increased price
would, in turn, in selling his product
receive this much more for the pro-
duct.
To illustrate, for example, take
wheat. The total production in the
United States this year vas 1872

after deducting the carry over, of
which the home or domestic con-
sumption is about 600, OOO, 900 bush
els, leaving 100000 bushels, the
exportable surplus which must be
sold on the world market at world
price.
Ratio Price $1.59
"The world price of wheat being
low, the price this year was held
down in the United States to prac-
tically the December price or about
$1.O9 a bushel. This average pre-
war price of wheat, that is for the
10-year period 19O5-1904, was 81.
Now the current index number of
all commodities has increased over
the pre-war index number from 100
to 159, an increase of SO per cent.
Hence, if the price of wheat is to
be increased proportionately to the
increase in call commodities ac-
cording to the table, it should be
$1.59, an increase of so cents a

The spirit of Cancellation does not
hover around the legislative halls
at this time. Neither branch of the
government, legislative or executive
can effectively coerce the other. The
Presidential veto was intended bv
the trainers of the Constitution to

Constitution gave the President con-
current authority in law-makinp.

it would be impossible to marshal
sufficient votes to override the veto

Giving the Telephone
Life

NOU can talk across the continent as If
l. face to face. Your telephone is the
latch to open for you any door in the land.
There is the web of wires. The many
switchboards. The maze of apparatus. The
millions of telephones. All are parts of a
countrywide mechanism for far-speaking.
The equipment has cost over two billion dol
lars, but more than equipment is needed.
There must be the guardians of the wires
to keep them vital with speech-carrying cleo
trical currents. There must be those who
watch the myriads of tiny switchboard lights
and answer your commands. There must be
technicians of every sort to construct, repair
and operate.
A quarter of a million men and women are
united to give nationwide telephone service.
With their brains and hands they make the
Bell System live.

CITIZENS TO OPPOSE
14TH STREET CHANGE
Resent Modification of Extension
Bill to Avoid Entering Hos
pital Grounds.

The Sixteenth Street Heights Cit
liens Association at its regular
monthly meeting at the home of
Louis Allen, 1908 Floral street, last
night. voted to oppose the passage
of the 14th street extension bill as
modified by the House.
Among other subjects discussed was
the imperative need for a junior high
school in the Takoma Park district,
and a committee was appointed to
meet with committees from other as
sociations in the vicinity of Sixteenth
Street Heights to discuss ways and
means of furthering the educational
facilities in this section of the city.
Another move in the direction of
better education was the appointment
of a committee to consider the pos
sibility of having a site set aside for
the erection of schoolhouse in the
subdivision.
A committee of three, consisting of
A. c. Dickson, president of the as
sociation, and Messrs Holmes and
kinghorn, was appointed to present
a protest at the Capitol in connection
with the 14th street extension modi-
fication. The proposed detection of
14th street along the line to 10th
street and Alaska avenue was de-
nounced is absurd" and was held to
be merely an attempt by certain
members of the House to defeat the
improvement in the belief that the
Senate would under no circumstances
approve the change.
1t was emphatically denied that the
extension of 14th street was in the
interest of a real estate ring and the
Capital Traction Company. Regret
was expressed that such arguments
were used a means of blocking a
public improvement guaranteed to
home owners in the plan drawn years
ago for the development of the ma
tionS Capital. 1t also was declared
that the building of the Capital Trac-
tion street car line would be posi-
tive benefit to the invalid soldiers
passing to and from the center of the
city.
1t was pointed out that beginning
at Sth street northwest and extend
ing to 10th street northwest numer-
Gus exits from the city are barred to
the public, and that the House
amendment to the 14th street extern
sion bill closes 18th. 18th. 14th and
18th streets, and diverts the railway
if built as outlined, to 18th street
and Alaska avenue, making the only
driving boulevard, already greatly
crowded much more dangerous to
travel by the additional congestion.

Retention of the present 60-40 fiscal
plan of appropriation for the District

JOHN R. fowler IS
CALLED BY DEATH

A telegram was received this morn
ing by Thomas J. Fowler, of this city,
advising him of the sudden death, last
evening in Hampton, Iowa, of his eld-
er brother, John R. Fowler, a Civil
war veteran, member of the G. A. R.,
a staunch Iowa Republican in politics,
and a former prominent distributor
for the Standard Oil company in his
district. The Bozeman man was
shocked at the news of his brothers
demise, for he had not been advised
of his illness. At the time he last
saw him, about one year ago, he was
in good health. 1t is thought that his
death was the result of ailments in
cidental to advanced age. He was
79 years of age.
The deceased Iowan is survived by
thre brothers, Thomas j. Fowler, aged
rs years, of this city; Leonard Fowler,
of Cardwell, Ohio, near Marietta, aged
II years, and Inner Fowler, aged 80
yers; four sons, two of whom re-
side in Hampton, Iowa, one in Min
neapolis and one in Neblla ka, and
four sisters, all residing in the middle
west. He was one of family of fif-
teen boys and girls.
