Y CONGRESS WANTS TO AID FARMER Appropriations For Benefit of Planter Greatly Increased. UNION WOULD BE STRONG. | Organization That Pulled Together Would Have Great Influence and | Would Control Many Thousand Votes. Committee Hearings on Trust Ques- | tion Not Likely at This Time. | By ARTHUR W. DUNN. | Washington, Feb. 3.—[{Special.]—Ev- ry year congress does more and more for the farmer. The appropriations for the agricultural department have in- creased in the past twenty years from | $2,000,000 to $20,000,000, all in the in- terest of farmers, although a large | tifie bureaus, weather service, travel- | ing expenses, inspection service and a lot more side issues which only inci- | dentally affect the farmer. | But more and more interest is paid to the farmer. Legislation in the in- eives more con- bers of gress ta about doing something for the agriculturalist and mean it than ever before. Legisla- tion for the farmer in the future, as | in the past, will benefit a lot of indi- vidual workers who know how to get the most out of appropriations, but at the same time the legislation will be for the benefit of the agricultural class. If They Would Organize. If the farmers could organize as the labor unions they would have congress “kotowing” to them. It is true that in spite of the fact that only about 2,000,000 labor men are organized, they get just about what they want in the way of legislation. At least, they get a great deal more than congress wants to grant ‘them, and all because they have.the organized voters in various congressional districts. Farmers once undertook to organize as an alliance. Grange organizations have often tried to speak for the farm- ers to congress, but it will take an or- ganization which stands firm, pulls to- gether and votes to have effect. Dr. Larson Ghe ... Optometrist IS AT THE POKEGAMA HOTEL THE 15TH AND 16TH EVERY MONTH Have the information. It was just after the president’s mes-! sage had been delivered on the trust question, and Murdock of Kansas was questioning Chairman Adamson of the interstate commerce committee. . “Will you asked Murdock. “I can't say yet.” replied Adamson. “With all the messages, bills, reports. letters, documents, ete.. which we have not yet read and digested. it may be that we will have information enough to proceed without giving hearings.” And the house seemed to acquiesce, for the members know that if the com- mittees ever begin hearings on the trust question there will be no possible adjournment until late in the fall. Doing the Impossible. “It always amuses me.” said Con- gressman Butler of Pennsylvania, “to hear a man get up in the house. when five or ten minutes have been given him, and begin by saying, ‘It will be impossible for me in the limited time at my disposal to discuss this momen- tous question,’ and then go right along and discuss it. The chances are that he will be given leave to extend his re- marks in the Record, with the result that we will see several pages of elab- orate discussion of the subject which he could not discuss in the limited time at his disposal! We play many bunce games in congress.” “Senatorial Courtesy?” A senator was talking about the Alaska bill last week. He was a man who was supposed to have knowledge of the subject. He spoke from the Re- publican side; there was a group of half a dozen Republicans in the back part of the hall talking among them- selves. Not a single seat on the Dem- ocratic side was occupied. And yet there is talk of “senatorial courtesy.” It does not always apply in the senate.

Speaker Clark took the | floor and pointed ont the different | methods by which a bill could be brought before the house. Telling what he thought the speaker should do, he said: “If 1 believe there is a pronounced sentiment in the house in favor of any bill, amounting to a ma- jority or anywhere near two-thirds of the house, I will recognize a member to call up that bill under suspension of the rules.” If any man has a two-thirds majority for his bill the suspension of the rules: method is the surest way of getting action in the house. It is quick, and no chance to amend the bill is given. Is It Socialism? Democrats and Republicans denounc- ed the Alaska railroad bill as socialism. Owning and operating railreads, is that socialism? Congressman Switzer, an Ohio Republican, criticising the | president, said: “From where comes this sudden demand for adopting the socialistic stunt? We know that our president is | running a neck and neck race with the | great leader of the Bull Moose party! | to put over certain so called Progres- sive measures, regardless of the fact | that the Democratic platform does not call for government ownership of rail- ways.” | HUMAN CHAIN OF NO AVAIL Young Couple Drowned While Skating Near St. Paul. August Peterson, twenty-five years of age, and Martha Schroeder, sixteen years of age, were drowned while skating on McCarron’s lake near St. Paul.
