Congressman
HOIDALE
Writes Home
Writes Home

The public utilities have received
the inevitable penalty for the manipu-
lations of insult and his allies in the
final passage of the Muscle Shoals act
by this congress. Not content with
grasping the white cOal''-by which
is meant the water power of the
country-and being led on by greed
to eXtOrt excessive rates for electrici-
ty from the consumer, they must ven
ture into the realm of dizzy finance
only to cause the ruin of thousands.
For many years Senator George W.
Norris of Nebraska, has made his bat
tie for government operation and con-
troll of the Muscle Shoals plant in
Tennessee. 1t would be an industry
putting men to work, but more than
that, it would be a measuring rod
whereby comparison could be gained
as to the difference between the rates
and costs of privately-owned corpora
tions selling electricity and those of
a plant owned by the government
When the measure passed the last
Congress, it was met by veto. Had
the public then known what it now
knows of the insult promotion, it
would have taken bold man to use
the veto.

A similar situation may be found
in the banking system. The arraign-
ment of Chas. F. Mitchell, millionaire
head of the National City Bank, for
Justification of his income tax rec
Ords; the arrest of Joseph w. Harri-
man head of the Hartman National
Bank, on another charge; the investi-
cation now going on into the methods
of Andrew Mellon, j. P. Morgan, and
other of the great banking heads, all
serve to form public opinion adverse
to the existing banking system. Thus
they have over-reached themselves in
pursuit of gain and have lost not
merely money but something more
valuable-faith, credit and good
name. Yet at the moment bills are
being pressed before this Congress to
reduce the amount permitted to be- de-
posted in any Postal Savings bank

Interesting Book
for Worlds Fair

Twenty-Five years ago this summer
the Danish National Committee of
Chicago, comprising some forty Dan
ish organizations of that city, Was
formed, and to commemorate the
event has just published a Worlds
Fair Year Book" edited by Anton
Kvist, who will be remembered by
many AskOv citizens for his speeches
here.
This stately work, containing 12O
profusely illustrated pages, makes its
bow in cover respondent with the
colors of the American and the Dan
ish flags.
Contributors are too numerous to
mention here, so it may suffice to say
that most of them are widely known
among the Danes of this country.
The entire work is published in the
English language and offers very
fine contribution to Danish-American
history, covering, as it does, many
chapters of the doings of Danes in
America.
In spite of the elaborate design of
the Worlds Fair Year Book" the
price is very reasonable, for it is only
80 cents per copy with 10 cents adj
ded for POSTAGE, and the book may
be had from Mr.. Anton Kvist, Hotel
Majestic, 20 Quincy Street, Chicago,
Ill.

Problems to be discussed have to
do with monetary and credit policy;
future organization of production and

From North China come numerous
reports to the effect that the never
declared war between Japan and
China is just about over, Japan hav-

about an armistice having been

In India, Mahatma Gandhi ended
his three-week fast as a protest
against alleged British injustice in
dealing with the "untouchable" Par
iah castles. This time Gandhi did
not succeed in eXacting even one
feeble promise from the British India
government. So far, his sacrifice
that of hero or fanatic, depend
ing on the viewpoint-appears to have
been literally in vain.

REAL DOG FISH

The Isle Messenger tells of a novel
way of catching fish i'm Mile Laos
lake. A dog, accompanying a party
of fisherman, had his tail dragging
over the end of a boat, said tail being
noticed by 30-pound pickerel which
proceeded to try to make meal of
tail, dog and all. The dog fell in,
and when rescued and hauled back
into the boat still had the hungry
fish attached, the whole incident re-
sulting in considerable excitement
and the ultimate capture of the fish.

Hardly had the measure become
law until Senator Norris laid before
President Roosevelt charges that the
private companies who had been ben
efitting by use of electricity made by
the gOvernment-owned plant at Mus
Gle Shoals, had been guilty of sabOt-
age, apparently with intent to cripple
or injure it. The president needed the
senator's warning and has ordered an
investigation of the plant to discover
the amount of damage done. Yet the
same corporations, through their Of
ticials and in the press, will raise
the cry against government in bust
ness" and assert that the private citi-
zens' rights are being invaded by the
intrusion of the government.

What is needful to prevent this APP
parent encroachment of government
upon private enterprise? What but
to do justly and to love kindness and
to walk humbly?" This insensate race
for gain, without regard to law, human
or Divine defeats itself. The sceptre
always passes from the hands of those
who use it ruthlessly. Unless and
until there is a complete reversal of
existing attitudes on the part of those
who have exploited humanity, we shall
continue to see an enraged people
demanding more government in bust
ness. | am not sure that this is the
cure. Indeed / am inclined to think
it is more in the nature of punish
ment which will fall alike upon inno-
cent and guilty.

SUSSEX AGENT ADVISES
FARMERS ON WHEAT
tContinurd from First Page]


are to be published in the local
press.
Wilson emphasizes that the allot-
ment to each county is compiled
from official records at Washing
ton, D. c., and is all the county can
get. It is up to the farmers, thru
their county association, to divide
it fairly among themselves.
The old game of making out the
papers" has been revived in the
wheat belt. Unauthorized promoters
are offering to help farmers apply
for benefits under the Govern
ment's wheat adjustment program
and as asking 10 per cent commits
sion for the work. No farmer has
to pay anybody for help in making
his application, M. l.. Wilson, chief
of the wheat production section of
the Agricultural Adjustment Admin
istration in Washington says. The
organization of farmers in each
county will be in charge of the
county agent. or an agent appointed
for each county. There
will be plenty of time for farmers
to get full information from these
men. They will be given plenty of
no tice when the time comes to ap-
ply and also will be given all the
help they need. without charge.
In Kansas. where the racket has
been discovered, persons have been
reported as inducing farmers to
sign an agreement promising to pay
a commission of 10 per cent of their
payment in return for
in making the applica-
ton for the benefit when they are
ready.
The Government warns farmers
against paying anybody for help in
making their applications and sug-
gests reporting persons with such
to the County Agent.
Farmers can get all information
necessary for the wheat plan from
their County Agent or the Agent
appointed for the wheat
program.

LINKED WITH 6 STATES
In RECOVERY ACT
[CoHfinued from First Pagel

Under the latest plan, there will
be a three-man advisory board for
each state. and a general advisory
board, made up of the boards for the
administrative district composed OF
the seven states. 1t is expected that
Mr.. Gassaway will be Delaware's adj
visory board chairman. The State
board of three will have charge Of
administering the public work in the
State, and will work with the state
advisory boards from the six other
states on plans for division of funds
and work among the states.
There will be 10 administrative
districts in the country, made for
the purpose of facilitating the gem
eral administration in Washington.
Mr.. Gassaway expressed the belief
that if the administrator to be Sc
lected for the six state area is called
on to actively administer the entire
section without reference to the
State advisory boards, Delaware
may be placed in an unfavorable po-
sition in relation to other state
boards.
Mr.. Gassaway expressed pleasure
that Delaware was not included with
Pennsylvania. 1t is the opinion Of
many Wilmington business men that
the commercial antagonism between
Delaware and Pennsylvania coupled
with Pennsylvania larger infiu-
ence in Washington. would have
worked to the disadvantage of Della
ware.

IMPORTANT CONFERENCE =
FOR AGRICULTURISTS

The Wilmington Chamber of COM
merce, which always has considered
as its legitimate function being of
whatever service was possible for
the benefit of the States as a whole,
has arranged a meeting to be held
in that city at 1918 noon, daylight
saving time, on Friday, July 2l,
which should be of outstanding in
terest and value to every agricul-
turist or fruit grower on the PENN
sula.
Invitations have been issued by
the Wilmington Chamber to officers
and members of Oranges, Mayors OF
cities in Delaware, the State Board
of Agriculture, and other interested
parties. The meeting will be open
to all who are interested in the sub
ject to be explained, whether or not
personal invitations have been re-
ceived. The only thing requested
is that the Chamber be sent post
card, Immediately, announcing in
tention to attend.
Probably the most competent au-
thority in the country to discuss the
recent national legislation pertain
ing to agriculture and agricultural
interests, Delos L. James, acting
manager of the Agricultural Serv-
ice Department of the Chamber Of
Commerce of the United States, will
be the guest speaker. He will ex-
plain the provisions and operations
of the Agricultural Adjustment Act,
and the national set-up to handle
its provisions. After his talk, he
will answer questions from the floor,
as far as time will permit.
This is considered to be one of the
most important gatherings of its
kind evere scheduled in Delaware,
and the Chamber of Commerce has
made it very clear that the more ag-
and others interested
who can attend, the better it will be
satisfied with its effort to be of con-
stTuctive service to that important
branch of the States people. Many
are being received
daily.
