HOUSTON URGES REORGANIZATION Makes His Annual Report to President Wilson FLANS FOR AGRICULTURE DEPT. Secretary Propose to Carry Out Work in Hit Department in Six Groups. Give Hi Idea on Good Road. Reorganization ot the department of agriculture is foreshadowed in Sec retary Houston's first annual report presented to President Wilson. A plan to be submitted to congress In the fiscal estimate for 1916 pro poses to carry out the work of the de partment in five or six main groups, such as tesearch, state relations, rural organization, forest service, weathet and regulation. Such a plan, Secre lary Houston believes, will promote co-ordination. Free distribution of seeds by con gressmen should be discontinued, the secretary recommends. He would conduct In Its stead a constructive work In securing and distributing new seeds and plants. Conditions vary widely in the Unit ed States, says the report, because farmers do not equally need better credit arrangements and all sections are not similarly circumstanced. It contends that, when all necessary al lowance has been made for funda mental factors. It. Is probably clear that the rural communities are not as efficiently served as they should be by existing financial arrangements. Plans for redisricting the country for the enforcement of the pure food law are announced and the secretary announces his Intention to ask for authority to prepare amendments" to the pure food law to Improve the food supply, protect the public health and promote uniformity In food legislation. The secretary, believes there does not appear to be need for unique or special legislation or for legislation which shall aim to give the farmer credit on easier terms than other members of society. What Is needed Is the creation of conditions and ma chinery which shall enable him on similar credit foundations to secure money at the same rates as those that prevail for other classes and for other sections. "Even though the problem of how the farmer can best sell Ills produce and can secure the necessary capital were solved there would still remain vital things to be accomplished be fore rural life can be made fully ef ficient, profitable, healthful, pleasur able and attractive, and before a larger disposition to remain on the farm develops. Good roads are pre requisite for better marketing, for bet ter schools and for more comfortable rural living. Better sanitation and hygiene In the home. In the school and In the community are just as vital for the rural community as for the urban," says the report. Further along the report reads: "To gain Information to enable the department better to serve rural wo men the secretary has addressed let ters of inquiry to the women of 55.000 selected farms covering every county. Other surveys and studies were also conducted. Analysis of the small pa-t of the letters as yet digested shows that farm women desire assistance In all phases of home management. "Others ak the department to prove to the man that their work Is worth something In dollars and cents. The overwork of women and children and difficulty of securing domestic help are mentioned by a number of the writers.' T''e department believes that Intelligent help to women In mattei3 of home management will contribute directly to the agricultural success of the farm." As to federal aid for good roads the secretary says the federal govern ment should deal with the state as the lowest unit through an expert hlch way commissioner as Its agency. The plan should provide for maintenance as well as construction. Preferenco should be given to the lmproveme.it of roads over which products from the fnrnis can be taken to the nearest railway station. A scheme of road construction and main tenance within a stats should be, da veloped and mutually agreed upon. Money appropriated by the federal government should be apportioned on the basis of such factors as total population, farm population, area, tax able valuation and mileage. "Fred Last Fight." When his little nephew and niece went to the home of Fred Greenwood, aged fifty-tl.ree, near Johnstown, Pa., to tell him that his wife hid died they found the man's body hang ing by a rcje.

As a result of the row Mr. Mann started a filibuster that caused the bill to go over. Mr.' Mann opposed nn amendment offered by Mr. Underwood Incorporat ing In the measure a $13,000 claim payable to persons In Mr. Under wood's district in settlement of dam ages to property in Alabama caused by United States troops after the close of the war. Mr. Mann pointed out that the Ala bama claim was not reported by the claims committee and he expressed doubt that It was a just claim. Mr Underwood replied that the claim wif just and should be p'lirt and he took exceptions to the criticisms of the Re publican leader. Representative Cnrlln of Virginia attempted to smooth the differences but dropped Into his seat with a thud as Mr. Mann shouted at him: "You're too small to get Into this." . Suffrage Hearing Ended. The committee on rules of thehmiss concluded Its hearlims nn woman suf frage. It became known the commit tee Is not disposed to grant the full request of the suffragists that a spe cial house committee be cheated to take up the consideration of the suf frage problem and to be known of ficially as "the house committee on equal suffrage." It is pointed out by several mem bers that the answer to the women's plea will be a specific recommenda tion by the rules committee that an other committee take under consider atlon the suggested suffrage, amend ment to the constitution. Attacks Cost of Living. A bill designed to reduce the cost Of living was Introduced in the house Candies 5 lbs. Orders must be in candy. sale price 59c . i sale price 43c regardless of cost. by Representative Buchanan of Texas It proposes to repeal the law that levies a tax of cents a pound oi uncolored oleomargarine and 10 cents a pound on oleomargarine colored In imitation of butter. Mr. Buchanan contends that oleo margarine Is "the poor man's butter.'' The dairy industry of New York and agricultural states have for years re sisted the passage of bills proposing the repeal of the 10 cents tax law. Currency Doesn't Need Speed. A speech by John Weeks of Mas sachusetts In the senate contained an Impressive answer to those who have been urging haste In passing the cur rency bill because of a fear of con traded credits and business depres slon. Senator Weeks read into the Congressional Record telegrams from bankers in different sections who supplied statistical Information to show that credit was not being con tracted by the larger banks or busi ness depressed by delay In passing fl currency bill. . Frown on Common Drinking Cup.

McKee of Wash ington, Pa., created a stir in the week ly meeting of the Washington County Pomona grange.

President Doe Not Include Suffrage Recommendation in His Message to Congress Because He Dare Not Co Beyond Baltimore Platform Declara tions Some Little Cheer For Dele gation in Hi Talk. Washington, Dec. 9. President Wil son refused the request of a delega tion from the National American Wo man's Suffrage association that he send a special message to congress in connection with the proposed woman suffrage amendment to the United States constitution. Marching by twos and fours, with banners afloat, the suffragists were ushered into the president's private office. Dr. Anna Howard Shaw sum marized their appeal. "I want you ladles," said the presi dent, "if I can make It clear to you, to realize just what my present situ ation in. "Whenever I walk abroad 1 am not a free man; I am under arrest. I am so carefully and admirably guarded that I have not even the privilege of walking the streets alone. Tint is typical of my present transference from a private Individual to being an official of a great government, and, incidentally, spokesman of a party. "I set myself this strict rule when I was governor of New Jersey and shall follow 't as president that I am not at liberty to urge upon congress in messages, polities which have not had the crgpnic consideration of those for whom I am spokesman. "In other words, I have not yet pre sented to any legislature my private views on any subject, and I never shall, because I conceive that to be part of the whole process of govern ment that I shall be spokesman for somehody, not for my"lf. It would he an Impertinence. When I spetik for myself I hid an in l I idual. when I am spokesman of an org.niir body I am a representative. "For that reason, you see, I am by my own principles shut out, in the language of the street, from 'starting anything.' I have to confine myself to those things whl-h have been em bodied as promises to the people at an election. That is the strict rule I set for myself. "I want to say that with regard to all other matters, I am not only glad to be consulted by my colleagues in the two houses, but I hope they will often pay me the compliment of con sulting me when they want to know my opinion on any subject. "One member of the rules commit tee did come to me and ask me what I thought about this suggestion of yours of appointing a special commit tee of the house as the sennte has al ready appointed a special committee for the consideration of woman's suf frage, and I told him that I thought It was a proper tiling to do. So, thnt so far as my personal advice lias been asked it has been given to that effect." Pr. Anna Shaw asked: "Since we are members of nn political party, who Is to speak for us if we do not speak for ourselves?" "You do that very admirably," re marked the president and the entire assemblage joined in a laugh. Pr. Shaw expressed the view later that the president's interview was satisfactory. "It was all that we could ask for," she said. "He Is in favor of a com mittee of the house: that was our chief purpose In coming to see him." EUROPE WAITS ON WILSON. Apparently Foreign Governments Are Weary of Mexican Policy. Washington advices indicate that rertain foreign governments have reached the conclusion that the Unit ed States Is again contemplating recognition of the Constitutionalists as a step toward a solution of the Mexican problem and eliminating IIu erta. There Is some reason to believe, however, that this Idea of other inter ested governments is In part due to their intense desire that the United States do something to bring relief to the situation. Their Impatience at the "watch and wait" policy is well known and It is understood there has been no hesita tion on their part In making this feeling known to the United States. The result has been a sort of Indirec t pressure on the administration to do something to solve the difficulty in Mexico. Recognition of the Constitutional ists lias appeared to some Kuropean diplomatists as the net likely mov.i of President Wilson as long as their government adheres to Its policy of acting only Indirectly upon lliierta. No confirmation of the reported in tention to recognize the Constitution alists could he obtained here. It is regarded as likely, however, that some steps will be taken to assist the revolutionists short of actual recog nition. Advices nt the state department re ported that the situation In Acii-iilca district Is growing worse. Tills lm been a center of antl-Ainerlcaiilf-m. 3 A f 1 Sit if , a DR. VON BKTHMANN HOIXWEG.
