Washington, Feb. 9. -- Chairman Smith of the senate interstate com­ merce committee in reporting favor- , *bly to the senate the administration railroad bill, estimated that under the measure's provisions the government irlll gurantee annually to the rail- roads $$*45,000,000, which will represent • return of 5.32 per cent. This, he •ays, "reflects neither poverty nor tiches," but the committee believes a majority of the railroads will accept ; "'^these terms as a just and fair meas­ ure of their constitutional rights."' ,'v. Minority reports are to be submitted Senators Cummins and La Follette. . Administration leaders plan to call up the bill for consideration next Mon­ day. „ "Tour committee Is of the opinion that this is the time for war emer- , j|ency legislation, and not the time to •ettle controversial questions concern- tog our future transportation policy," ^Chairman Smith said in prefacing his Heport. He then took up the compen- flbtlon section, and added: "About 75 great operating railroads .! 4o over 90 per cent of the railroad Husiness. The committee believes that post of these great railroad carriers Will accept these terms as a just and ffcrir measure of their constitutional tights. Section 1 further provides that Ordinary taxes, national and state, tfiall, as now, be paid out of operating Revenue; but way taxes accruing under Hie act of October 3, 1917, are to be paid by the companies out of their own fbnds, or charged against the stand­ ard return. In other words, the hold­ ers of railroad securities are to bear their own just portion of the war bur­ den." The committee recommends, the re- trt says, that improvements made by e government while the carriers are Bnder government control should go to Jjhe railroads when they are returned '•"jp the security holders. This should be arranged through an • '"fcgreoment between the carriers .and tihe president. , Discussing the provision inserted by < the committee, providing for the termination of government control 18 months after the war, the report says: i > "There is also a provision to the ef­ fect that the president may, prior to jluly 1 next, relinquish control of such ' /transportation systems as he may ' 4eem not needful or desirable, and Kaay, thereafter on agreement, relin­ quish all or any part of any system of transportation." The section also contains a general . provision that the president may re­ linquish all railroads at any time when be shall deem such action needful or ' desirable. >>. « I J / life W'"i i, -V*? ir eAINS MANY NEW MEMBERS h'.-. - Red Cross Adds Approximately 17,500,- kfv 000 in the Recent Big • Drive.

Harris, formerly of Ando- bon, Iowa, wrote the "Audubon Advo­ cate," expressing their satisfaction of things in Western Canada. They lo­ cated at Makepeace, Alberta. They say there are those who make. good, and those who fall. The former are those that land agents refer to when advertising their land. "But," contin­ ues the letter, "A great many of the farmers in this vicinity pay for their land with tUfelr first crop. A man near here bought a section of land In the year 1915 for $23 per acre. He broke 300 acres of the land during the summer of 1915. In the fall of 1916 he threshed 16,000 bushels of wheat, which paid for his land, all expenses and had a balance of $4,000. In the fall of 1917 he threshed nearly as much off the other half of the section. At the present time he would not take $50 per acre for his land. "We have had fiye crops In Alberta. The two dry years (1914-1917) our wheat made 20 and 30 bushels to the acre respectively. In 1916 we raised 50 bushels' of wheat to the acre on summer fallow. The best results are obtained by plowing or breaking In the summer, working it down in the fall so thaj it will retain the moisture. Thus farming one-half your ground each year. "Persons owning land here and still living in the States should, If they don't feel themselves able to come up here and finance themselves until they could get their first crop, get some of their land broken and worked down In the fall before they come. The next spring they could come and put In the crop, fence and put up their buildings. This way they have to wait only one summer for their first crop. "It is not advisable for a person to come here in the spring, break out land and put It in crop the first year, because the moisture is not In the ground and a failure is almost cer­ tain unless it Is an exceptionally wet year. "One of the boys from that locality, Mr. Peder M. Jensen came to Alberta last spring. He bought a 30-60 Rum- ely Oil-Pull engine on the 8th day of June, 1917. After that date he broke 1,100 acres of prairie sod for which he received an average of $5.00 per acre. "Mr. Hansen from your community, was up here last fall with several prospective land buyers from that neighborhood. At that time he in­ quired the value of the crop on the section we were farming. We told him that it would probably make in the neighborhood of $12,000. This aame crop when sold brought nearly $19,000. The most of it being sold when prjces were low for the year."-- Advertisement. MERE MATTCR OF INACTIVITY Convict Only Stated Truth When He 8ald He Was "Doing Time" for Not Building Church. • group of four convicts were heard the other day chatting about what they were "in for," and each one In turn told his experience. The first had killed a man, the sec­ ond had put another man's name to a check, while the third one had gone for a plurality of spouses. The fourth man, however, did not seem inclined to make any disclosures. He was a sanctimonious-looking man, who, al­ though a professional gambler, was called "parson." "Come, parson, what brought you here?" "I don't care to say," said he. "Out with it. Shoot anybody?" asked one. "No, I didn't shoot anyone but since you would like to know, I got time' because I didn't build a church!" Deep silence fell upon the group. No such excuse for penal servitude had ever been heard before, and the "parson" was asked to explain. "Well, you see, a congregation raised several thousand dollars to build a church, and handed It over to me to build, and I didn't build It.
