President Coolidge's economy
policy has blocked a number OF
important valuation inquiries by
the Interstate Commerce Commits.
sion, 1t was charged today by
Senator Burton X. Wheeler DJ
of Montana.
The President by withholding
funds. Wheeler said. has prevented
investigations into the valuation
of railroads, telephone. telegraph
and pipe line companies. AS a
result of the Presidents so
called economy" he added, Amer
lean consumers were forced to pay
high rates when. IL the valuation
cases were concluded. rate reduc-
tions probably would follow.
Onus on Coolidge
Wheeler placed this responsibility
directly upon the President after
Clyde 3. Aitchison, member of the
Commission. testified before the
Senate Interstate Commerce Com
mittee that all delays in these
inquiries were due TO a lack of
funds.''
Wheeler consequently dropped a
contest against confirmation of
Aitchison, Claude r. Porter and
Patrick j. Farrell, all reappointed to
the commission. The trio probably
will be confirmed without further
delay.
Wheeler charged the President
with mainining a penny wise but
pound foolish" policy of economy,
costing the American people millions
of dollars annually in inflated rates
for public utility service.
Policy Disapproyed
"The Interstate Commerce Com
mittee has voted to confirm THE APP
pointments," saic Wheeler. This
should not be taken by the commits
sion or by the country as an APP
proval of the dilatory course pur-
sued by the commission in reference
to the valuation of pipe lines or the
valuation of the largest and most
powerful trust in the world--the tele-
phone trust.

Some of the thousands in the
Federal penitentiaries will receive a
pardon at this season of Christmas
spirit. and benevolence, but the JUS
tice Department has discarded the
system of permitting wardens to
recommend two or three of the best
behaved convicts for pardon, 1t was
learned today.
Each warden formerly submitted
to the Attorney General a few
names for the time -honored Christ
mas pardons. The Justice Depart.
ment would send its recommends
tions to the President and, on
Christmas Eve, a few men. pale
from prison life. would slip away
to their families.
This reward came to the unfortu-
nate, who. through ill-luck or in a
moment of temptation, committed a
crime against the United States.
System Abused
However, the system was abused.
according to officials, and so many
prisoners were recommended for
release that it was thought best to
handle par0ons in the usual way.
No pardons are pending at the
Justice Department this holiday sea
son. If any comes to the attention
OF the pardon attorney before the
eve of Christmas. in the slow course
OF the administration of justice they
cannot be investigated and SUBJ
mftted to the President before
Christmas.
One important parole case is
pending. Some weeks ago the
parole board at Atlanta prison rec
commended the release of Thomas
Miller. former Alien Property Gus
todian and World War veteran.
who was sentenced to Is months
lmprisonment for conspiracy TO de-
fraud the Government
May Free Miller
Miller's case is before Attorney
General Sargent. 1t was said at
the Justice Department that action
possibly might be taken before
Christmas, although no definite word
was forthcoming.
Sargent also has under considera-
lion a number of other parole
recommendation involving persons
convicted of violations of the liquor
laws and other offenses against
the Government. Some of them
may be acted on before Christmas.
The Wardens of all the Federal
prisons were authorized under the
custom prevailing for many years
to offer special Christmas dinners
to the prisoners. In some of the
prisons Christmas entertainment
Will be furnished and an effort
made to dissipate somewhat the
gloomy atmosphere behind the walls.

 Of Future of North

Toronto, Ont, Oct. 26.-lR- Vilhjalmur Stefansson. famous Arctic explorer. told the Empire club here that the old statement westward the course of empire takes its way" now should be changed to "northward."
 Starting with the birth of civili- zatton on the Tropic of Cancer each succeeding cycle of 1000 years has seen . northward trend. he said.
 Just because the Arctic is the traditional home of Santa Claus" he continued. people imagine the place is unreal and therefore impractic- able. Recording thermometers of Fort Yukon have shown an average temperature of 80 and 100 degrees in the shade. At Great Bear lake, trees grow 100 feet high. are close together. large in diameter and not stunted in any way"
 Commenting the north as a desir- able and practicable portion of the earth Mir. Stefansson said "the people who leave Chicago for Winnipeg be- cause of economic reasons are the kind who will leave Winnipeg for points north."
