Fascist and even less are they Conn
nunist," the Popolo d'Italia said.
when one reads his address of
May 4, 1888. to. the United States
Chamber of Commerce we must admit
its guiding spirit is Fascist.
Roosevelt set up for himself four
fundamental principles, reduction Of
armaments, lowering Of tariff bar
riers, stabilization of currencies and
development of friendly relations with
other nations.
None of these detectives has been
reached. On the contrary, there has
been q drastic departure from them.
Their opposites have been reached.
Instead of disarmament there is
an increase in armament. Second,
instead of q lowering Of tariff bar
riers there has been universal ele-
vation of them. Third, instead of
stabilization the wandering currencies
have continued to be more or less
voluble. Fourth, instead of reciprocal
trust and confidence among nations
there exist suspicion and alarm.
But one must not believe the
Roosevelt experiment has failed be-
cause 1t has not attained its four
great objectives, even though they be
SO fundamentally important. The
experimnt is still in the course of
being carried out. We must wait"
The editorial gives tribute to the
"ardor, tenacity and action with
which Roosevelt set about to extri-
cate the country from the depth to
which it had fallen"

Charges that Massachusetts, avenue,
from Nebraska avenue to the District

florists, were made at last nights

along Forty-sixth street. Vision from
a number of cross streets Is obscured
by high walls, 1t was pointed out, and
the speed of trafiic along Forty-sixth

improvement in paving. The group
was told the average speed along this
thoroughfare is between 35 and 40
miles an hour.

The American University Park citi-
Eens approved resolution passed last

plan which would deprive the COM
munity of its through bus service

posal which considered the American
University bus line, proposed to con-
meet this line with the Chevy Chase
loop bus, but the group is opposed
to the route and the numerous
transfers necessary under this plan.
Copies Of the resolution passed by the
committee were ordered sent to the
Federation of Citizens Associations,
the Public Utilities Commission and
Peoples Counsel William A. Roberts.
The group also opposed purchase
by the Capital Transit Co. of the
washington Rapid Transit Co. bus
lines, at the price the present owner
of the bus lines spaid plus interest.
The secretary Of the association
was ordered to send q letter to Capt.
A. G. Whitehurst. calling his atten-
ton to the fact q number Of alleys
in the neighborhood, built last VIM
ter by G. w. A. workers, are dete-
Tiorating because of numerous rain
storms.

communicate with Engineer Com
missioner Dan I. Sultan. pointing out
q piece of supposedly faulty sewer

IOWA READY TO SIGN
CORN.HOG CONTRACTS
Chairman of Group Handling Re-

Final Meetings.
Special Dispatch to The Star.

Special Dispatch to, The Star.
DES MONIES, Iowa, January l3-
Signing of corn-hog reduction con-
tracts for 1884 is expected to get under
way next week in Iowa. The campaign
for signatures has been slower than was
expected. Previous estimates had set
January l as the date ON which sign
ing up would be started.
r. M. Evans, chairman of the COM
mittee in charge Of the reduction pro-
gram in Iowa, this week is supervis-
educational meetings. which will be fol-
lowed by actual signing.
Meetings we're held in 20 counties
each on Wednesday, Thursday, Friday
and Saturday, and the final meetings
will be held the first of next week.
Signing of the corn-hog reduction
contracts binds the farmers to reduce
their corn land by Is per cent and
their hog production by 20 per cent
next year. Total benefits to be paid
estimated at SIS ,0Oo, 900. Of which one
half would be paid at the time the
contracts are made this Winter and
early next Spring.
Delay in the program has been Off
set, administration supporters believe,
by the unexpected enthusiasm with
which Iowa farmers have taken advan-
tage of the Federal Governments corn
loan offer.
The total. of corn loans approved in
Iowa passed $4,000 900 yesterday and
are now expected to reach a total near
$40, 100000 by Spring. The original
estimate by the administration was
S27,000,0 In corn loans for Iowa by
March /.
Loans have dropped below the more
than a million dollars a day high of
the holiday season, but an average day
still sees more than half a million dol
lars in loans approved in cribbed corn.
These loans are being made at As cents
a bushel and the corn is to be sealed
until August !, unless 1t can be sold for
enough to pay the note and interest of
4 per cent before that date.
The adjournment of Iowa's special
session of the Legislature by the first
Of February appeared plausible last
week when the House finally passed a
liquor-control bill on Wednesday, The
bill provides for sale Of wines and
spirits in State liquor stores.

WYOMING OPPOSES
PUBLIC LAND BILL
Stockmen Also Against Making
Cattle Basic Commodity
Under New Act.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
CASPER, Wyo., January 13-With
Winter relief measures functioning sat-
isfactorily and recovery efforts showing
consistent progress through Federal
stimulus, Wyoming turned toward
Washington this week with increasing
interest in legislative proposals affect
ing the West, and opposition to two
proposals in particular. Stockmen Sec
onded recent declarations by Senator
Robert D. Carey of wyoming against
the inclusion of cattle as basic COM
modify in the agricultural adjustment
act, and various interests voiced oppo-
sltion to the administration public land
bill providing for permanent Federal
control of remaining public domain
under leasing permit system for grazing.
"Cattlenen of wyoming are opposed
as a unit to the processing tax on cattle
and there is growing sentiment against
the plan in other States" said Vice
President j. E. Brock of Wyoming
Stockgrowers' Association. The plight
of cattlemen is considered serious on
account of low prices. and is recognized
in the proposal of the State Board OF
Equalization to reduce the assessed
valuation of cattle by 20 per cent.
Former Representative Charles E.
Winter sounded a call for action"
against the public land bill urged by
Secretary Ickes and Representative
Taylor of Colorado. The Casper Cham
her of Commerce among others adopted
resolutions protesting its enactment.
Wyoming interest is Centered other
wise in recovery efforts, still favored by
optimistic developments. Advantage Is
being taken of all Federal cooperation.
Report this week showed that the
State stands eleventh in airport i'm
provements under the c. w. A. pro-
gram. Wyoming banks were the first to
report 100 per cent compliance with
deposit guarantee provisions.
A serious employment situation,
raised by the shutdown of the Sunrise
Iron Mines in the Eastern area, was
met in part by civil works absorption
OF 30 out of $50 men thrown out OF
work The release of rail orders by the
Federal co-ordinator is expected to per-
NIT resumption of mine production for
Pueblo, Colo, and steel mills early in
