SURCHARCE IS
BEFORE BODY
Whether House Will Follow
Majority Report Awaited

Washington. Feb 24.-Whether
the House will follow the majority
recommendation of it's commerce
committee against the Senate bill to
eliminate the fifty percent surcharge
for travel IN Pullman coaches will
be decided when it votes on the
question in taking up the pending
conference reports on the independ-
ent officers appropriation bill. The
report carried Senate rider to ac-
romplish the same purpose.
All but three of the q members of
the house committee joined in an
adverse report yesterday on the bill,
approved by the Senate at the last
session, declaring it would initiate
direct rate-making by Congress, a
serious and unwise departure from
long established policies" A minor
ity report urging enactment OF the
bill will be submitted to two Dem
ocratic members. Berkeley of Ken
lucky and Parks of Arkansas.
Other grounds on which the ma
jority based their opposition were
that the removal of the surcharge
not only would induce service rates
"for those best able to pay" but
would result either in raising other
passenger and freight rates or post
poning reduction in passenger. rates
and agricultural freight rates.

WILLISTON
PROJECT is
UNDISTURBED
Rep. Sinclair Says $4,000
Appropriation Available
July l

Washington, d. c., Feb. 23-With
the 5000 for the Williston project
in North Dakota undisturbed in the
Interior Department appropriation
bill, Representative Sinclair, Repub-
lican of that state anticipates that
the sum, which would be made avail
able July l, until December 81, this
year, would carry the farmers in
that district through the coming
growing season. What becomes of it
after that remains for the residents
on the project to determine, he said,
adding that he was willing to assist
in any possible way.
1.-THE Reclamation Service owes it
to the State Of North Oak ota to give
the Williston project fair chance"
Mr.. Sinclair said. "Only 100000 of
the $l2,O00,000 paid by my state from
the sale Of public lands, has been
used there. The interest on that
fund, which has been running for
almost % years, is great"
Mr. Sinclair's information is that
the farmers on the Williston project
expect to grow 100000 worth of su-
gar beets this year, having grown
$4,000 worth last year.
The Importance Of the factory,
built recently at Sidney, Montana,
just across the state line from the
Williston undertaking, where the
beets can be delivered without
srhk oh ~Loc
project manager, Mr.. Sinclair said,
estimated that the establishing of
the factory is worth at least SIS an
acre, to every acre seeded to sugar
beets..
Heret ofore, the project produced
only small grains and hay, and the
sugar beet growing is new ven
ture, which its boosters say is al
ready showing promise. The project
furnishes light to the city of Will
liston, community slightly over
5000, Mr.. Sinclair explained, but
owing to recent favorable financial
conditions, the city is unable to ham
die bonding proposition, being now
bonded for new school to the legal
limit.
Writing to Chairman Madden of
the House appropriations committee
recently urging favorable consider
alton of the project, Mr.. Sinclair
said: "While $4,000 for the next
fiscal year is inadequate to oper-
ate the plant for year, it will at
least enable the farmers to be sup
piled with sufficient water during
the crop growing season Of 1925.
IF they are fortunate, and get a
good crop, they will then be in a
position to finance the purchase of
the plant, if that is deemed advis-
able" the North Dakota representa-
tive wrote. @g
The Williston project itself was
i started in 1908, but not until 1923
were experiments. in sugar beet grow
ing started. In 1924 500 acres pro-
duced 4,5OO tons Of sugar beets. Now
l 900 acres are assured for this year,
Mr.. Sinclair pointed out.
The Interior Department measure
was one of the first introduced at
this session Of Congress, and at
tempts by Mr.. Sinclair to have the
| Williston item inserted proved un-
availing. He went before the SEN
ate appropriations subcommittee,
considering the bill after it had re-
ceived House approval, and success
fully presented his case. The Sem
ate wrote in the proposal, which was
later agreed to by House conferees.

DEMAND FOR NORTHWEST
SEED POTATOES AT PEA

Minot, N. d., Feb. 24.-Demand for

CONGRESS HAS
LEGISLATION
JAM TO MOVE
With Six and One Half
Working Days, Many Bills
Not Touched
WHAT PL A Ms A K +

Washington, Feb. 24Farm ,e-
lief, Muscle Shoals, postal pay and
rate increases and legislation Of
lesser importance are hanging in the
balance as congress finds itself with
just six and one-half working days
left in this session.
Demands that unanimous consent
calendars be cleared, coupled With
more or less widespread opposition
10 night sessions, serve to compli-
cate the Legislative situation in both
the house and senate.
Aside from the national appropr-
alton bills which will all be nearly
out Of the way, leaders are dubious
as to Just what else is going to get
through by noon March !. They have
their course charted bat they realize
there can be so many upsets that
predictions are scarcely good for even
Il day.
Farm Bill Considered
After single days consideration
in the house, the Haugen co-opera-
tive marketing bill has been laid
aside until Wednesday, companion
measure has been favorably reported
to the senate but no time has been
fixed for taking it up. Meanwhile
proponents will seek to have it
placed at the top of the program
mapped out By the steering commit
tee.
The senate voted yesterday on the
appeal from the ruling Of the chair
that the conferees exceeded their au-
thority by inserting new matter in
the Muscle Shoals leasing bill. Ii
the chair is sustained as some lead
ers on both sides expect it will be,
this measure must go back to con-
ference.
fore the senate by vote, it prob
ably would be some days before u
final vote was had. Then favorable
house action would be necessary be-
fore the new bill could be made
ready for the presidents consider
alton.
Fight on Custer Expected
Having failed to accomplish any
thing at their first meeting last week
conferees on the postal pay and rate
raise bill will try to get together
again early this week. Second class
and parcel post rates are the chief
items in dispute.
The house tomorrow will devote it
self 70 District Of Columbia legisla-
lion; Tuesday it will take up, with a
view to action during the day, the
final deficiency bill and Wednesday
farm relief will get further consid-
Grafton. House leaders also hope ia
get the Wadsworth- Garrett constitu
tional amendment resolution out OF
the way hsfcre the end of the week
and to clear the unanimous consent
and private calendars of i mass OF
bills. Several night sessions prob
ably will be held, but the legisla-
tive grind must be halted Friday and
Saturday nights to permit Republi-
cans and Democrats to hold organi.
Zation conferences.
Republicans of the senate also
plan to hold organization meetings
some time this week to perfect their
slate of officers for the senate to be
presented after the special session
begins March 4. Efforts on theil
part to remove Senator LaFollette OF
Wisconsin and his three insurgen,
followers from their present commit
tee rank is expected to precipitate &
