agreed upon and It appears success
full even before it is fully tried out,
the President expects to apply sim
liar projects to other river valleys
of the nation. "
To carry out the Presidents
scheme Senator Norris of Nebraska
introduced in the senate a bill for
government operation Of the huge
wartime power and nitrate plant
at Muscle Shoals, which to date has
cost the American taxpayers some
$15O,OO0,OOO. In the house a bill
similar to the Norris bill was intro
duced by Representative McSwain,
Democrat, of South Carolina.
FEDERAL legislation for 30
l. hour working week in industry
was assured when the administra-
tion placed itself squarely behind
the measure. The bill has already
passed the senate. and it is ex-
pected to be quickly approved by
the house and signed by the Presi-
dent.
The bill, regarded as one of the
most radical labor measures to win
the administration support, provides
in its present form that for an
emergency period of two years no
articles may be received in inter-
state shipment which have been
manufactured or produced by labor
working more than six hours in any
day, or more than five days in any
week.
The bill covers output of any
"mine, quarry, mill, cannery, work
shop. factory, or manufacturing es-
Establishment" but it exempts the
producers of milk and other perish
able foods. and newspapers.
Violators of the law would be
punishable by fine of not less than
5000, or Imprisonment for not more
than three months, or both. The
bill would take effect thirty days
after its enactment.

voar. q reduction of $19,0OO,O00, or
AZ per cent.
If the report is approved, and
Secretary Roper is successful In OPP
Grating his department at such a
saving, IL is believed he will pro-
portionately far outdistance In econ
omy promotion any of the other de-
partments.
The secretary plans to consolidate
many activities of the department
and TO abandon 6thers. The figure
of s26,OOO,OOO, which he proposes
spending in the 1884 fiscal year, be
ginning next July 1, is not only AZ
Der cent under the 1888 figure, but
It Is nearly S11,OOO00O under the
actual appropriations made for 1884
BY the last congress. The appro-
priation bills carry an expenditure
of s36, sos, 465 for the Commerce de-
partment in 1884.
This Is the first time in the his
tory of the government, according
to Secretary Roper, that an admin
istration has suggested it is not
wise or safe to use money which
congress itself has appropriated,
but he declares that the admins
tration intended to carry out faith
fully its campaign pledges of
economy.
Mr.. Roper plans to establish six
bureaus to take over the work
heretofore done by ten. The six
bureaus will be the transportation,
patents, census, standards, fisheries
and foreign and domestic commerce.
The bureau of transportation will
embody supervision of the govern
ment over all forms of transporta-
. ton, land, air and water. The
Roper plan contemplates merging
under one subordinate to become
the new assistant secretary of COM
merce for transportation, supervi-
sion over the Interstate Commerce
commission. and the activities of
the United States shipping board;

a CTION on the farm relief bill
IA was delayed by controversy
aroused over the Simpson price-fix-
ing plan which has been written
into the administration bill. This
developed at time when the
Roosevelt program for increasing
the farmers income and lifting the
burden of mortgages was humping
along on a rough road sprinkled
with demands for currency expan-
sion as a means of restoring agri-
culture.
The mortgage section of the adj
ministration bill is almost certain
to have the approval Of the house.
In anticipation of the passage of
the bill, Henry Morgenthau, chair
man Of the federal farm board, is
getting his department fully pre-
pared to speed the actual applica-
ton of the relief.
Some delays in putting into eff
feet all the credit relief facilities
planned by President Roosevelt and
Mr.. Morgenthau will be occasioned by
reason of the fact that the CONSOLE
dalton order under which the Presf-,
dent Joined all farm credit activ-
tiles doesn't become effective for
some six weeks yet.
But Mr.. Morgenthau has reached
out into the other agencies which
soon will come under his hand, and
as soon as the credit bill becomes
law he expects to bring about a
prompt organization of the work Of
issuing AZ per cent bonds to be ex-
changed for the present farm mort
cages averaging higher than 61a
per cent.
President Roosevelt is reported
to be firmly of the opinion that the
biggest help that can be given to
the farmers at this time is loos-
ening Of their credit. Once the
farmers debts are erased, debts
contracted when land values were
high and crop prices up, it may not
be necessary, in the opinion Of
many of the administration advisers
outside the group controlled by Sec
rotary Of Agriculture Wallace, to
resort to price fixing and allotment
schemes, to help the farmer.

to balance the budget, which at the
present rate is running into an an
nual deficit Of $132. 100000.
The postmaster general said he
had received opinions that if the
postal rate is cut the volume of
business will be so restored as to
yield greatly increased revenues.
and he added that some advisers
felt that a fiat 2-cent letter postal
rate over the country would bring
in enough revenue to balance the
postal budget.
The postmaster general also dis
closed study is being made on
whether the department shall con-
tinue the heretofore somewhat far
cical practice of giving examina-
tons to first and second-class post
masters.

Winter Driving Rules

Skidding on icy or slippery high.
ways already has taken its toll Of
deaths and injuries in Minnesota this
fall. Below are five rules to prevent
skidding which have been given to all
employees of the state highway de-
partment. They are good rules for ev-
cry driver to remember:
% Keep in gear. Rear wheels are less
likely to skid if they are kept tur-
ming by the motor.
(2) Apply brakes gently. Don't apply
the brakes to the rear wheels har-
der than they will take them, or
they will slip. A little slip is a
young skid.
(3) Don't shift gears unless you must.
Trouble may follow if you have to
shift gears on hill and the road
is icy.
"a Put on chains, all around, if it is
icy. A pair of chains costs less
than a damaged vehicle.
(5) Pay full attention to the business
of driving. Handle everything in
an easy manner gas, steering,
brakes no sudden moves if skids
are to be avoided.

FIGHTING FOREST
FIRES PRINCIPAL
JOB OF CCC BOYS

Summarizing the work Of three
months by the rs state forest emer-
gency conservation work camps indie
ties wide variety of work with fire
fighting the most important single
phase, report shows. The camps are
operated by the U. S. Forest Service
under the supervision Of the MINES
ota Department of Conservation.
A total of 31,T14 man-days were
devoted to fighting several hundred
fires, it is reported. Telephone lines
to the extent Of 165 miles were built
or repaired during the three months
period. Forty-eight frebreaks were
cleared and grubbed. The hazard from
lumber slash and other debris was re-
moved in 1914 acres. Dead and down
timber and brush along 211 miles of
forest roads and trails was cleaned.
Better fire fighting will result from
the construction Of 141 miles of truck
and foot trails in forest areas. Nurs-
cry work required 1923 man-days
with millions of seeding forest trees
made available for the near future.
Current and gooseberry bushes,
which harbor the white pine blister
rust disease, were removed on 1879
acres. Twenty dams and 25 bridges
were built, forest inventory was
completed on 12,708 acres and 1,058
acres of forest stands were improved
by wedding, releasing and trimming.
Camp picnic sites and shore lines
