than the White House as 1t will
SO rooms, halls, and loggias.
The palace will have total of 18
with a seating capacity
of approximately 43, which would
indicate that the High Commission
er does not propose to be caught
in the event of an epidemic
of summer complaint.
The Palace IL to be built on made
ground on Manila Bay, that will
the construction Of a
sea wall in a 48 foot depth Of wat
er, and II acres Of new land are
to be created. The expense to the
taxpayer will be consider
able before the project is complet-
ed. Uncle Sam is also building a
summer home for the High Com
up in the mountains that
will be 1874 feet long and "a feet
wide. This cottage is to have AZ
rooms and ten bathrooms.
It Is estimated that 1t will re-
quire three years to construct these
two palaces and when we stop to
think that the Philippines will be
set free in six years we are not go
ing to get very much use out of
these buildings unless we should
decide in 1916 to be represented by
an Ambassador at Manila which, of
course, the size of the Islands does
not warrant.
All Watch Washington
Mot within the memory Of living
man have our people taken so much
interest in governmental affairs as
they do today and Congress is not
escaping its share of the limelight
Here is a little thing which recent
ly happened that illustrates what ]
mean. Minnesota newspapers car
ried a press story on the outcome
Of the fight over the reorganization
bill and listed the vote of the Min
nesota members. Through an omis-
sion my name was not given and
this resulted In a considerable mum.
Der writing me asking why I had
not voted on that important meas
ure. This meant additional work
for an already over-worked office
force as we have had to reply to
each one personally. I am glad to
be able to assure my readers that
I was present and am recorded as
having voted to send the reorgani
zation bill back to the committee
where it died a natural death.
Would Use Oleomargarine
When the Independent Offices
Appropriation bill came back to the
House we found that the Senate
had inserted an amendment which
would have permitted the use oil
oleomargarine to be served in vet
Grams hospitals. The House prompt
ly voted to instruct its conferees
to insist on the amendment beine
eliminated. AS this is being writ
ten the bill is in conference and the
matter has not yet been decided but
I can assure my dairy friends thai
it is not likely the House will evel
stand for the Senate provision. i
Is reported that an attempt will b,
made to insert a similar provision
in the army appropriation bill ant
If that happens it will meet tn,
same fate in the House as did tn
Senate oleo amendment.

an Illinois paper, dated April q
which states that the farmers o
the corn belt have organized tn

control law and the membership
are sworn to fight any attempt o.
the part Of the government to com

1t looks as though our agricultur
al structure is being threatened. A
a result of government control owe

siderable portion of our foreigl
