•ASHINGTON.—SoIution of the wheat problem Iles along two lines—the adjustment of production to
w
j American needs If the world market is i oversupplied from other producing ! countries at lower prices than are satisfactory to the American producer under prevailing conditions, and the development of an Improved marketing •ystem. These suggestions were made in a report to the President, made public by Eugene Meyer, Jr., managing director, I and Frank W. Mondell, director, of the War Finance comporation, who have completed an under Instructions of the President of conditions in certain wheat-growing areas. The development of an Improved ; marketing system, in the opinion of •Sir. Meyer and Mr. Mondell, can be brought about by the organixation of I the producers of the country for the ! purpose of marketing their wheat j tinder the co-operative marketing plan, making it unnecessary to rely so completely upon the uncertain functioning of the speculative public contract market. | The report expresses strong opposli tlon to the various proposals looking to an increase in the tariff on wheat, government price fixing and govern-
Would Sell Germany Wheat on Credit
RESIDENT COOLIDGE and Secretary of Agriculture Wallace were urged by a delegation of Middle-West grain men
p
and bankers to support the so-called Gould plan for furnishing a government credit of $30,00(1,000 to aid Germany In purchasing 50,000,000 bushels of American wheat. Those in the delegation were George E. Marcy of Chicago, president,of the Armour Grain company; W. E. Gould, bunker of Kewanee, 111., and the author of the Gould plan; Charles E. Lewis of Minneapolis and George A. Roberts of Omaha. Under the Gould plan the War Finance corporation would be authorized to make advances to American exporters to finance purchases of wheat and flour by Germany or other foreign govGerman obligations would be accepted by the War Finance corporation as security for a long-term loan. According to sponsors of the plan, Germany will purchase 50,000,<MN>

Attack on Budget System in Congress

W!
I ing to prevent the overthrow of the present method of handling federal ' appropriations. <’er?aln members of congress, it has been learned, are planning to demand that the present powerful appropria- ; ti<>ns committee of the bouse restore I to the several committee* their previous jurisdiction over appropriations. The success of this plan, it Is feared, would practically nullify all that ha* ; been accomplished during the last two years in efficient handling of govern- . ment finances on a business basis.

German Liability in Lusitania Claims r.._ !
OUR decisions determining Ger‘ruan liability for American claims resulting from the war. Including thase growing out of
F
i the Lusitania's torpedotxig. have been | announced by the mixed claims commission. While upholding, broadly, the Lusij tania’s claims, numbering 278 and agI gregating approximately >22.000.000, i the commission dismissed 30.190 claims, totaling about $345,000,000, for the recovery of insurance premiums paid by Americans for protection. Genera! principles governing the assessment of the American claims were laid down by the commission. Three of the decisions, including that on the Lusitania claims were unanimous, but In the other interpreting treaty obligations, Edwin B. Parker, umpire, concurred with Chandler P. Anderson, American commissioner, over the dissent of the German commissioner. Dr. Wilhelm Klesselbnch. An important feature of the Lusitania decision was the refusal of the gomiv :*>>«% to assess exemplary, or
ment purchase of "surplus” wheat. Il comments on but does not go on record regarding proposed distributing of $58,000,000 said to have been made aa profit by the United States Grain cor- : poratlon, and modification of the present Immigration laws so as to provide for selective admission of a larger supply of labor. On the matter of returning the socalled profit of the «raiu Corporation | the report says it has no accurate information on the subject, and with respect to modification of the immlgra- i tlon laws the report says that sent!- < ment in this direction Is almost universal among the agricultural communities visited. The report reflects the fact that the ‘ condition of the wheat farmers is Improving under present conditions be- ’ cause of the readjustment taking place. Conferences on the wheat situation with farmers and farm organizations, state departments of agriculture and agricultural colleges, city and country bankers and leading business men developed many points of view. They were held at Chicago, Minneapolis, St. Paul, Sioux Falls. S. D.; Fargo, N. D.; Billings and Helena. Mont.; Spokane, Wasli.; Portland, Or*.; Pocatello, Idaho. and Denver.
bushels of wheat on a long-term credit basis, and thus dispose of the bulk of the wheat surplus of the United States, with the result that the price 'of wheat in this country will advance materially. The Gould plan was embodied in bills Introduced in congress in the last session which met defeat before opposition of Eugene Meyer, Jr., managing director of the War Finance corpora- j tlon, and others. The scheme for disposing of the wheat surplus proposes that the 50,000,0U0 bushels should be taken from different sections of the country, 30.000,000 bushels to come from the states east of the Rockies, 10.000,000 bushels from the Pacific coast and 10.000,000 bushels of durum wheat. Onethird the wheat would be in flour. All would be American grown and all the flour would be ground in American mills. It is proposed that a percentage would be shipped in shipping board vessels and the remainder in German vessels.
vlded Into infantry, artillery, engineer,, aviation and signal corps branches of that arm of the naval establishment New scouting cruisers, fastest naval vessels afloat, and the 16-iucii gun dreadnaughts will participate among the 150 naval craft that will make up the units in these war games. The Pacific fleet, under Admiral S. S. Robinson, known as the United ■ States battle fleet, will leave about January 4. This embraces the battleship divisions, the destroyer squadrons, submarine divisions, aircraft divisions and fleet base force. The Atlantic forces, known as the scouting fleet, will leave the east coast at the same time the Pacific units leave Los Angeles, and upon reaching Panama will engage in a combined war game with the Pacific units. The scouting fleet consists of battleship divisions, destroyer squadrons, air squadrons, train forces and a control 1 force, and Is under command of Vice Admiral N. A. McCully. Admiral Robert E. Coontz will be in active command'of the winter maneuvers.
financial control in congress, it is felt, | would destroy its efficiency. Four hundred million dollars was cut from the department*! estimates by the late President Harding during the first two years following the adoption of the budget method. Each federal department §nd separate office prepared Its own estimates. These estimates were handled by eight different committees in the house and then by nine more in the senate. The I result was chaos. When the budget law was passed leaders in congress realized the absurdity of asking the President’s consolidated estimates “to run the gant- ! let of seventeen unrelated committees, each vying with the other ia the Interest of a particular service which fell to it* solicitous sponsorship." Both the house and senate, therefore, amended their rules so that a single appropriations measure, corre- j spending In general to the consolidated estimates submitted by the President, would be considered by only one committee in each branch.
punitive. damages. It held that sucb damages were penal in their nature, not compensation, and, therefore, un- | uuthorixed.»by the Treaty of Berlin. “There la no place in the treaty for i any vindictive or punitive provisions,” the decision said. “Germany must ! make compensation and reparation i for all losses failing within its terms sustained by American nationals. That compensation must be full, adequate and complete. To this extent Germany will be held accountable. But this commission is without power to impose penalties for the use and benefit of private claimants when the United States has exacted none." No specific awards in the Lusitania cases were made by the commission, its decision merely announcing the principles to be applied in determining each claim. In this connection It held that actual damages for mental anguish and suffering of relatives of Americans lost on the Lusitania would be compensated for, but that “sentimental and vague** mental sufferings would not be considered.
7"l T ’Buildma SEPTIC TANK FOR HEALTH Most Satisfactory Method for Disposal of Wastes Where Sewerage System is Not Accessible. Adequate sanitation is essential for | the maintenance of general health and efficiency. Federal and state health-- | reports indicate that annually In this country more than. 250,000 deaths and : over 4.500,000 cases of serious illness can be ascribed to unsanitary condi- | tions of one kind or another, which I | tend to encourage the transmission o 2 such diseases as typhoid fever, tuberI culosis, enteritis, dysentery, diarrhea, cholera infantum and hookworm. The | germs of these diseases live In decaying garbage, filth and other waste matter. thus giving them the common name of “filth diseases.” The complete solution of the prob- | lem of filth disease elimination lies in the proper disposal of all body and household wastes, in adequate protection of water supplies, and in the extermination of rats, mice and vermin. i Septic Tank. The farmer and the small town dweller can effect all this by constructing septic, tanks, privy vaults, well platforms and curbs of concrete, and fidlowing a consistent pplicy of rat and vermin proofing. Tht* septic tank method is the most i satisfactory for disposal of household and human wastes where a municipal sewerage system is not accessible. It is not new. for it has been thoroughly tried in this, country during the last forty years under the supervision of competent engineers and health authorities. and has proved effective in praci tlcally complete disposal of sewage. With ’ a property constructed septic tank and absorption system the dis- , posal of the sewage can be directed ( and controlled so that all the unde- | ( sirable and unsanitary features of the i cesspool are eliminated. The principle on which the septic ‘ , tank operates Is that of rotting, or ( bacterial decomposition. Household waste consisting mostly of liquids, i but containing a certain amount of * solids, is carried from the house sewer into the tank, and theye the sol’d portions are broken up and converted Into liquids and gases. TOWNS NOTED FOR NEATNESS . Cleanliness Results In Property Own- ! er* Getting Fabulous Rents for Their Home*. Could every houseowner but sweep bls own walks before his door, care -for his own premises to a point of tidi- I ness, what a great improvement. . When in Williamstown we heard a criticism of a Maine college “if It j would only sweep the leaves off its campus and make its loveliness more apparent” was the comment. “I would • not like to send a boy. to a school that did not care for its lawns.” Riding through the countryside we estimate the thrift of towns by their ; neatness. The town advertises Itself by Its own housekeeping. It pays in business, homeseeking, desirability as place of residence. There are in Vermont certain country places' that have no other commendation to the summer visitor except their specklessness. Their homes are desired and rented.

Manchester, VU the residents are able to take summer vacations away from home; renting their own homes at fabulous prices to summer visitors, sole ly because these cities and towns regard cleanliness, beauty and good care I as paramount/-Lewlston Journal.
