ONCE the destruction of private

function. Chairman Legge has virtual

July settlements. He discloses that
the board not only holds huge contracts

900 bushels of cash wheat, and about
55,000,000 bushels of futures contract
wheat which must be delivered be-

He admitted that on July /, when
the new crop begins coming in, he ex-
poets the board to be holding "vir-

able Indignation CURLY refused, de-
claring that he cannot admit the pow
er of the senate to encroach upon the
executive functions by removal Of a
duly appointed executive officer under
the guise of reconsideration Of his
nomination"
The President was fortified in his
action by an opinion Of Attorney Cen
eral Mitchell, and he gave out pub
lie statement explaining his course
and fntimated that the action of the
senate was actuated by "a hope of
symbolizing ME as the defender of the

three outstanding public servants" He
said there was no issue for or against
the power companies involved.
Senators who are in opposition to
the administration thereupon crosse in
their wrath and seathingly denounced
Mr.. Hoover. and the body. by vote
of SO to %. ordered the clerk to re-
store the names of the three power
commissioners to the executive calen-
daE which placed the senate on record
as holding that no power commission
exists. Senator Burton K. Wheeler of
Montana served notice that he would
seek to- tie up the salaries Of the com
missioners in the annual Independent
Offices appropriation bill. intimating
that if necessary a filibuster would be
conducted against the measure.
While the action of the senate was
in order under its rules, it was I'M
precedented and does not seem to have
met with general public approval.
Since the commissioners had been duly
sworn in and the attorney general has
ruled that the appointments were con-
stitutionally made, President Hoover
was on solid legal ground in rejecting
the senate's demand and indeed that
was the least he could do under the
Z circumstances. In this case the rules
of the senate are in conflict with the
law and the Constitution. Whether
or not Mr.. Hoover was wise in i'm

However, 1t is reliably re- ported that the 1892 rate will be 34 mills, representing decrease of mill under the current years levy.
 The controllers office yesterday afternoon formally presented the tentative 1882 budget figures to the finance board. The commission CTS took no action on the figures. though, but turned them over to Executive Secreatry Thomas P. Kelly who will slash everywhere possible in order to keep within the reduced tax rate ordered by Mayor Hayes. If he finds 1t im- possible to slash sufficiently to meet the new tax rate, he will leave the final cutting up to the board of finance.
 In adjourning yesterday after a brief meeting. the board voted to await the call of the mayor for it's next session. It is expected that the commissioners will be called to a meeting on Monday to begin actual study of the 1882 budget so that the coming years financial program will be com- prete within the period prescribed by law.

 A report from the park depart ment showed that there is now $14,7S9 in the Hamilton Park pavilion sinking fund. This money is used to pay the interest and redemption on the bonds which were sold to finance the building of the structure.
 A lengthy discussion took place concerning the advisability of sell ing $1,00O,000 worth of funding bonds to retire the city's floating indebtedness. Of course. at the present time the city owes only $600,000 in temporary loans but this figure will be increased to $1.- 000,000 in January 1t is expected.

FARMERS LIKE
 RISE IN WHEAT BUT ARE ANGRY
Editor Describes How the Farm Board of Hoover Regime Left Them Help- less Last July

'
 Dighton. Kan, Nov 6-(UP)- Lane county farmers, with more than half their 1891 crop in stor- age. smiled as wheat prices made net gain of 23 cents over lows of recent months.
 On the basis of estimated hold ings of the grain, the rise meant nearly $500.000 to wheat producers of the county-and it meant bus mess prospects for every man in western Kansas.
 To-day every farmer teels he has chance to break even on his crop, perhaps even make a little money provided the price contin- ues to rise-as he believes 1t will.
 The harvest season saw Kansas wheat farmers disgusted and angry. They had raised their larg- est crop in history and had found 1t worthless. Creditors had begun to crowd them for payments on machinery, and on other farm necessities.
 At that time the farm board came In for criticism. That has not subsided, despite the advancing prices.
 A farmer tOlO 1ne lO-udy. II wheat is worth 45 cents a bushel now it was worth that much in July. If we had not been saddled with an impractical farm relief proposition, I would have just twice as big a bank account to-day as I have"

 II don't know just what to do with my wheat" Hineman told me. II have an increase of 23 cents a bushel. l might get more if the Russian situation gets worse-and then again 1 might get the same old 22 cents that was offered me in July. Guess I'll just gamble on it and sit tight. If 1t hadn't been for the gambling spirit of the west ern farmer all of them would long ago have folded their tents like the Arabs and silently stole away
