GRAINS SLUMP TO NEW LOWS Selling and Weak Undertone Drops Wheat. Hu Initrd Press CHICAGO. Sept. 23. —All deliveries of corn, oats and rye dropped into new record low territory for the season in today's sharp drop of grains on the Chicago Board of Trade. December wheat, too, established anew bottom record. Wheat's drop came in a wave of selling by northwestern hedgers and spreaders. The break was precipitated by the weak undertone. Persistency with which sellers poured selling orders into the pit overwhelmed feeble attempts of shorts to effect a rally. Late speciulative buying brought about a reactional recovery. Corn’s precipitous drop reflected a freer country movement and a bearish Government crop report. All holders of sizeable lines took profits. Oats shot downward for the heaviest loss in several weeks in sympathy with other grains. Provisions lost ground following an early gain, due to weakened grains.

Federal and Arbuckle listing at 6.35 c while western beets have been reduced to a basis of 6.30 c. The response however, has not been encouraging, the trade evidently being content to pursue the policy of entering the market only when stock* have reached the depletion point. The lack of forward buying ha* created an indifferent attitude on the part of refiners. Offerings at 2%0 are sufficiently large to satisfy refiners requirements for almost the entire month of Oct.

SCHOOL GOVERNMENT— Ho\v O the Government of the J-J LTj JP S United States is formed - "“Copyright, Compton's Pictured Encyclopedia Feature Service”"

SHE government devised by the makers of the Federal Constitution was unlike that of any other country of that time, though the founders built in part on English precedents and their own Colonial experience. According to this Constitution the central government controls only certain matters mentioned in that document. Things that are purely local in their nature they left in the main under the control of several States. Usually in speaking of the government of the United States we do not include these purely local matters, but refer only to the affairs of the Federal government centered at Washington. The makers of the Constitution went further than merely dividing powers between the States and the nation. As stated in the article on the Constitution, they divided the authority of the nation among three distinct departments equal in importance—the legislative, the executive, and the judicial; and to guard against one encroaching on another they devised an elaborate system of checks and balances. -The executive department, at the head of which stands the President, can check by its veto the hasty legislation of Congress. In return Congress can interfere with executive policies by refusing to vote the money to carry out the President's plans, by withholding the necessary approval of the Senate to the President's appointments, and finally by trying the President by impeachment in case he is guilty of usurpation or other ‘‘high crime or misdemeanor.” The dignified judiciary, which applies and interprets the laws passed by Congress, has ample means of protecting itself from undue interference by other departments. By inevitable growth and development, the United States Government today performs functions never dreamed of by Washington. Madison

and their associates in the Philadelphia convention. Uncle Sam is engaged now in great irrigation projects and other Government activities in areas that in 1789 were foreign soil. He appropriates money from the treasury to aid various branches of education in the States, discourages child labor in products which pass in commerce and interstate commerce, and watches over the welfare of hiqf younger citizens in factories. His Public Health Service guards the health of the whole Nation, his agents watch, over the purity of the food and drugs, and he withholds from his people by prohibition habit-forming drugs and alcoholic liquors. He aids the farmer, the manufacturer and the merchants by supplying useful printed information and by conducting the parcels post and postal savings banks. He even carries on an insurance business to si pply insurance at low cost to the soldiers and sailors who served during the World War. To keep the huge machine of Federal Government going, the services are required of more than half a million men and women, and the expenditure of several billion dollars each year. The largest section of this machinery is the executive branch, consisting of president, the heads of the War, State, Navy and other departments (whose heads form the Cabinet and are the President's advisers) and all their various assistants. Here is the place where the great growth of the government is most clearly seen. True. Congress numbers many times as many members today as it did in 1789, but this is an increase growing out of increases in population and in the number of States. In the judicial system there are more courts and judges, but that also is linked with the increase in population. The enormous growth In the numbers and duties of the executive branch.

The public is slow to commend—-it is quick to condemn—but when it has the facts it is fair. It has become a habit tbrtnany people to blame the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) when in their*judgment the price of gasoline is too high. To analyze this condition is to conclude that it is only the penalty we pay for being big, but as our size reflects only the scope of the service we render, we must accept such degree of responsibility as may be properly charged to our account. In the United States there are 590 refineries of oil, of which only 7 are operated by the Standard Oil Company (Indiana). In view of the sharp competition evidenced by this number of factors in the field, it must be obvious that the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) can neither throttle competition nor control prices. That all refiners are subject to the same economic laws, is supported by the downward movement of the price of gasoline, brought about by the recent heavy increase in crude oil production. This condition obtains not only in the ten states in which this Company operates but on the Atlantic and trie Pacific seaboards; also in the North and in the South. The acknowledged leadership and efficiency of the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) gives plausibility to an impression of unlimited power, rather more than is justified by the facts. But within the exceedingly limited margin of control exercised by this Company, price changes, either up or down, are made only after exhaustive study of every factor involved. It is the constant endeavor of the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) to maintain a balance in gasoline prices, which will give our customers the benefit of all savings effected by efficiency—to which we believe they are justly entitled —and yet insure an uninterrupted supply of fuel to run your car. It is submitted to the intelligent and fairminded public that this policy is far-reach-ing and constructive; that it makes for superior service; establishes a dependable supply of gasoline and maintains the high quality of the product.

to the present complicated scheme, is the result not merely of the growth in population, but still more of the ever widening scope of action of modern government. Today there are ten great executive departments, each under a member of tho Cabii tt. In Washington's time there were only sou secretary of State, secretary of treasury, postmaster-general and attor-ney-general. And the number of important bureaus, boards, commissions, services, and other offices under these departments, or under the president, independent of the organized departments, runs up onsiderably over a hunt - BIG LINER FLOATED Bu United Press LONDON, Sept. 23.—The big United States liner George Washington, grounded off Bremen today while bound to Southampton and New York, with a large American passenger list, \fas refloated at 2:49 o’clock this afternoon and proceeded on her journey, according to announcement from the United States lines offices here.
