SEES GRAIN TRADING
DRIVEN TO CANADA
Chicago Operator Says U. S. Rul-
ings Have Resulted in Huge
Business Losses.

BY the Associated Press
CHICAGO, February l5.-Arthur
w. Cutten. prominent grain operator
believes that Government inte.fer-
ence has demoraliZed the grain
markets" and is driving this coun.
try's business TO Winnipeg.
misunderstanding of the function
that speculation performs has led to
a series of rulings which instead OF
helping matters for the farmer makes
them worse" Mr.. Cutten said today.
Every one with a practical
knowledge OF speculation knows that
the outsider is always a buyer in
every speculative market. Strangely
enough. however. politicians in their
hunt for farmer votes continually at.
tack the markets. which are the very
places where the farmer must sell his
surplus when he has one. The re
suit Is that the portion of the public
which buys for higher prices iS
frightened out of the market and sup
port to take care of the hedging done
by elevator interests against actual
grain bought from farmers becomes
insufficient to sustain prices
The continued interference with
grain trading in this country Is driv-
ing the business out of the United
States altogether up to Winnipeg The
market there is rapidly becoming the
dominant grain market of North
America"

The confidential letters sent to
their wet prospects," he continued,
"show that the Association Against
the Prohibition Amendment has $780,
900 per year raised for this organized
effort, and is asking in addition for
81 500 in each of 200 congressional dis
tricts to supplant dry Representatives
with wet ones in the primaries this
year, making a total Of 100000. This
is only one of over 80 wet organiza-

THE record of the clerk of the
House shows that the organizations
fighting prohibition have not filed
their expense accounts in accordance
with the corrupt practices act. The
Anti-Saloon League of. America has
filed such accounts.

officials who put loyalty to outlawed
liquor before their support Of the Con-

facts on which to base a charge of
corrupt practices by the league let

HIGH PRICES SPUR
MADE-0VER RUBBER
Commerce Department Data
Indicate Vast Reclaim
ing Activity.

Enhanced prices for crude rubber
resulting from East Indian price con-
troll, is stimulating the industry of
reclaiming used rubber, the Commerce
Department indicated today in making
public figures recently gathered. Pro
expected to increase with continued
holding up Of the price level of the
raw material.
American rubber factories used
800, 1920. 900 pounds of reclaimed rub
Der during 1925. according to the fig
ures. while IN 1924 they used only
179.20O, 900
Furthermore" the department
said, 'the reclaimers reported they
had made still greater expansions in
their plants and equipment, SO that
they would be able to produce more
than 448, 5000, 900 pounds in 1926
Prices for reclaimed rubber are
shown by Commerce Department rec
ords to range well below the market
for the plantation crude, which is
now between co and 30 cents q pound
Many grades Of reclaimed rubber are
listed, and some of these are selling
well above 80 cents a, pound as an
indication of their utility.
Reclaimed rubber from old automo-
bile tire castings, the departments s
studies have shown, is valued at only
a fraction of the price normally paid
for that derived from worn-out tubes.
The departments research has not
extended far enough for it TO attempt
an estimate of the utility of reclaimed
rubber as compared with plantation
crude.

HOUSE ASKS DATA
ON MEMORIAL ROAD
Committee Wants Report on
Proposed Highway From
D. C. to Mt. Vernon.

With a view to early and final con-
sideration Of the bill fathered by Rep
resentative Moore OF Virginia for
construction of a memorial boulevard
from Washington City to the home of
Washington at Mount Vernon, with. a
view to completing this boulevard as
an official approach from the south to
the New Arlington Memorial Bridge
in time for the celebration of the hi
centennial of Washington's birth in
1882, the House committee on roads
today called for Il detailed report from
Thomas II. Macdonald, chief of the
bureau OF public roads.
Among the specific items on which
the committee desired detailed infor-
nation are: The most availa BILE route
Tor the proposed highway: what would
he its width and general character;
what. if any, portion of any existing
highway should be included; what will
be the probable cost of any land neces-
sary to he acquired for the construc-
ton of the road: what will he the prob
able cost of constructing the road,
and what time will lie required for its
construction: any other facts pertain
ing to the matter which will enable
the committee to give il full ana hnal
considera ton.
Mr.. Moore in making strong plea
TOT early action on tnlS measure EN-
pha SEED that the Daughters of Amer
lea other big patriotic orEanlZa- :
ton. ana the leading citizens of the
National Capital have been working
tirelesslv for this project for many
years. He referred the committee to
extensive hearings held last year at
which the chief of the Bureau o.
Public Roads stressed the Importance
of this highway as already badly need
ed in a rapidly growing section es
pecially as an incoming route to the
National Capital for the multiplying
number of tourists, practically all of
whom make a pilgrimage 10 Mount
Vernon.
Mr.. Moore said that preliminary
survey has already been made by Mr..
MacDonald'S office. The committee
showed very sympathetic interest in
the project.

animal and plant quarantine and
public health.
Estimates vary as to how many men
would be needed on such a Federal
patrol, or as to how much the main
tenance of such a group would cost.
Mr.. Hudson said he was of the
opinion that it could be authorized at
first without any additional appropria-
tionS from the Treasury. The immi-
grafton patrol OF the Department of
Labor he thought. could be used as a
nucleus of the Federal police, and the
new plan could be started without
spending more money.
Legislation will be necessary. it is
believed, to effect any systematic and
far reaching change, but it was report
ed from some sources today that al
ready the Department of Labor pa
troll has been so successful in some of
its work that it has proceeded to help
the Trea sury Department in the ap-
prehenSion of alleged violators of the
customs and prohibition laws.
johnson Backs Change.
Representative Johnson of Wash
ington, chairman of the House COM
mittee on immigration, was represent
ed today as being in favor of additional
appropriations for enlarging the ex-
listing mounted patrol, and carrying
out the plan in comprehensive fashion
One of the bills introduced by Mr..
Hudson would authorize a new border
patrol to coordinate the activities of
all departments and bureaus interest
ed. The other measure would enlarge
the scope Of the border patrol of the
Department of Labor.
Gen. Andrews, although charged
with responsibility over both customs
and prohibition, which are largely in
terested at the border, said he would
disclaim any departmental pride in
such a new Federal police force, and
would not propose that its administra.
ton be lodged in the Treasury Depart
ment. So impressed with the immigra-
ton patrol is Gen. Andrews that he
has a picture of one group of it
framed and hanging on the walls of
his private office.

PROBE MAY SETTLE
VALUES QUESTION
Relative Worth of House and
Senate Members as Speak,
erS to Fore.
BY ROBERT T.. SMALL.

An investigation of the Anti-Saloon
League, such as is proposed by Rep
resentative Fred Britten of Illinois,
might and would bring to public at
tention the relative commercial values
of United States Senators as opposed
to members of the House of Repre-
SentatiVeS.
In their own estimations and in
the eyes of the public paymaster Il
n Member is equal in every way to
Senator. They both draw $4,000
n year. they both draw the same
travelling expenses and very much
IT, same in the matter of clerk hire
and other perogatives. OF course,
there remains the fact that there are
435 members of the House and only
Sc members of the Senate AS n
mass proposition the Senators would
seem to have n little the better of
the argument as to class, for. after
all, the presidency of the United
States is exceptional in that there
is only one President. If there were
AS Presidents nobody would pay
much attention to them.
Appraisal of Dry League.
But it is rumored about Washing
ton that the Anti-Saloon League has
studied the situation thoroughly ana
carefully and after many years Of
experience has evaluated Senators
and Representatives in their true
relative worth-that is TO say, their
worth so far as the purposes and
aims of the Anti.Saloon Leagu, are
concerned.
1t is said that an investigation
rhn SpOl-
tors and Representatives who put in
their spare time lecturing and work
ing for the league, as, Of course, they
have every right to do, just As so
many Senators and worthy Repre-
sentatives in the olden days used 70
sally forth upon the chautauqua cir
cults, gathering in the shekelS in
every section of the rural United
States.
1t is furthermore alleged and
averred. charged and contended that
the Anti Saloon League pays Sena-
tors at the rate of 5000 day for
every day spent in active work.
which means speechmaking and as
sisting in the gathering in of sub
scriptions and contributions to the
cause.
There is added to this the invidious
allegation that plain American Rep
resentatives from South. West or
East are paid only at the rate OF
500 to S150 a day for precisely the
same work.
Therefore it is easy to be seen that
in certain lines of remunerative pur-
suit a Senator is worth anywhere
from 33 1-3 to 100 per cent more
than a Representative. These fig
ures may easily lend themselves 10
dispute in other fields of earnest or
public endeavor. but when it comes
to the value of talk. loud and long. 1t
will be seen that the Senate has 1t all
over the House.
1t is not without reason that the
Senators refuse to gag themselves,
Members of the House permit them
selves to be steam-rolled into sub
mission at the slightest sign Of an
outburst Senators talk forever and
a day-and not a few of them have
put reverse English on the old adase
that silence is golden" LoQuacious-
ness is at least worth 5000 day
when one is really on the job.

CON NSTANTINOPLE, February 10.
Turkish society women by their
own example are helping to destroy
the doctrine of the old Turkey that
toll is undiGniied. Under the empire
work was considered degrading for
men OF good family and unthinkable
for women. Therefore business was
left to the Greeks, Jews and Ar
Inenians. With the abolition of gov
ernment sinecures under the republic
and the loss of fortunes after the re
cent chain Of wars, many Turks OF
good family have been forced to set
