Omaha. May 2S. 1913.
Crop kilters are abroad In the land.
HTie principal headquarters ot the ln
neots' which are to be Been every year
at. this time and which kill the wheat
crop during several successive weeks. Is,
ns usual, located In' the state of Kan
sas. There were many reports received
from Kansas yesterday and while some
ot them were from men who are well
Cted on crop conditions and who are
iwn to be honest m their convictions.
There wore hundreds of other messages
telling of losses. Many of the latter
(mora from people who are Interested In
wheat on the bull side, and. who are
not allowing even one stone to remain
unturned In tho southwest In order to
further their own Interests. Instead of
the wheat market becoming a world
wide affair, It Is largely confined to the
professionals In the trade, with a bet
ter sprinkling of outside business from
various sections of the country.
Those who have denied horctoforo that
the Kansas crop was not holding Its own
Ere slowly falling Into line and saying
that deterioration Is to bo seen In many
sections, but that the losses are llRlUer
than ever known before In the history ot
that great wheat raising state.
The most conservative men In the trade
lit Chicago and Kansas City estimate that
the Sunflower state will have 100,000,000
bushels of wheat this year unless there
is something not counted upon at the
Vresent that may cause further losses.
Thero are a few who Bay that Oklahoma
"will have at least 35,000,000 bushels of
wheat and there are some who, predict
that 30.000,000 bushels wilt be raised.
From the spring wheat country advices
were received ot abnormally high temper
ntureB with S3 degrees reported at Fargo,
N. D.
There were scattered advices from the
Red River valley of claims that rain is
needed.
Cash wheat was Ho higher.
Better weather In both tho corn and
oats belts were reported and prices were
lower In consequence. Thero Is a great
Ceal ot corn still to be planted, especially
In the northern section of the groat belt.
'A. message was received yesterday from
Charles Lasher, a Chicago traveling man,
Who said that in the vicinity of Fort
Dodge, la. the ground is either too soft
lor the farmers to got into the field or
water is standing on It.
Cosh corn was unchanged.

CHICAGO GRAIN AND PROVISIONS
Features of the Trading nnd Closing;
Prices on Board of Trade.
CHICAGO, May 28. Although there
were many reports of damage today
from the. southwest, market, was not
backed up with buying orders and the
wheat showed weakness. The. latest
trading was steady.
Corn finished off to a like
amount up; oats with a gain of V&'Sio
to lc and provisions varying from lOo
loss to 12 ',4c advance.
Wheat bears argued that If the Kansas
and Oklahoma crop had been injured
ob much as declared In the last three
weeks fcll central markets would be
flooded with public buying orders. A
good deal of Interest was also taken In
a well known expert's opinion that rain
within a week would make a marvelous
difference in the yield in the dry sec
tions of Kansas.
-Rallies In wheat developed chiefly
about the middle ot the session and
wero based on adverse field reports
from Illinois points.
Export clearances of wheat and flour
today equalled 823,000 bushels. Primary
receipts ot wheat. 319,000; a year ago,
833.000.
Heavy arrivals and excellent weather
carried corn lower; May gained a little
of the radical setoacK ot tne previous
cession.
Btrencth in oats grew out of oxDert
opinions that recent damages could not
ce overcome, even wun me oest con
ditions. Packers were credited with hoisting
pork and ribs. Lard succumbed to
pressure due to liberal receipts of hogs.

They wero talking about Improving an
opportunity the other afternoon, when
Secretary of the Interior Lane contrib

"Makes me think," ho smilingly said,
"of a youngster who lives In our town.
One afternoon he was Invited to a party
where, of course, refreshments were
Dountiruuy served.
" 'Won't you have eomothinir mora
Wlllle7' asked the pretty hostess toward
the close of the feast.
" 'No .thank; you,' replied Willi, with
an expression of great satisfaction, 'I'm
full.'
'Well, then.' smiled tha hmitu
some fruit and cakes In your pockets to
eat on the way home.'
" 'No, thank you.' came the rather
BiuriuiiK response 01 Willie, 'they re full.

"Tha doctor has ordered my wife to
"Why should she need rest? You have
no children: you hava servants tn An oil
the work around the house: your wife
has an electric, so that it never is
necessary for her to walk anywhere: I
suppose she never finds It necessary to
do any sewing or darning, or anything
like that, and I have no doubt that she
even hires other people to polish her
coils and arrango her hair. How can
a lady so fortunately situated possibly
be In need of rest?"
"She's got all tired out trying to think

CATT LB There was another very mod
erate run of cattle today, about 3,000 head.
mm mo quuiiiy ot ine ottering! was
somowhnt better than on either Monday
or Tuesday. Owing to the very Unfavor
able reports from eastern beet nnd cattlo
markets the local trade opened very slow.
All the dressed beef men wero out after
cattle, but evidently wanted them lower
and bid that way. Salesmen, however,
were not In a mood to mako concessions
and trading did not becoma very brisk
until buyers began Daylnir urettv closo to
steady figures. In some cases heavy cat-
wb ui were noi wen nnisnca may nave
sold a little lower than on Tuesday, but
tor desirable htavv rnttln It wax nrttv
close to a steady market and attar trading
was onco unacr way tne movement Be
came lively nnd a good clearance was
made some time before noon. Steadv tn
a shade lower than yesterday would about
cover tne situation.
Demand for cows and heifers was
healthy, and, as offerings of this kind
wora 'comparatively limited, it did not
take dealers long to get down to business
and clean un the aunnlv on the ousts of
steady to strong prices all around. Range
ot prices is practically from 34.00 to 37.70
with the bulk ot the trading around 33.25
(37.00. Veal calves were in active demand
and firm and there was a steady market
for bulls, stags, etc.
Some little improvement was noticeable
In the market fur stockers and feeders
and prices wero Just a Uttlo stronger for
anything that had quality and was not
too heavy. Feeder buyers are again tak
ing some of the warmed up steers nt
better prices than tho killers uro willing
to pay, but volume, ot business Is small.

8MKIGP rhoujth early advices from
most other points indicated an easier
feeling In tha general trade tho local
market started off in a fairly sntlsfac.
tory way and largely under the Influence
of a moderate supply tho big bulk ot
the sheep and lamb offerings changed
hands nt prices Identically tho tame q.i
on Tuesday. On tho wholo, however,
the market was rather slow and tho de
mand Uld not seem as broad as on yes
terday nnd tho day before. An llsnoj
of lato most Inquiry Is tor good to cholco
stuff of llKlit welsht and Invariably such
grades sell at a premium ns compared,
with tho heavier offerings.
As was tho case on Tuesday, the re
ceipts were mostly all shorn lambs but
If anything tho aoneral quality showed
a little Improvement. Shorn lambs sold
anywhere from W.50O7.S5.
A couple of cars of shorn owes, similar
to those at 35.25 yesterday, brought tho
some price this morning. They weighed
around BS pounds. Thero la still a very
limited demand for this class ot sheep,
thoro being about enough on hand ovory
day to meet trade requirements.
Fourteen cars, or some 3,500 hau, mndo
up tho entire supply, being 100 head Ies4
than last Wednesday nnd 800 less than
two weeks ago. For the first halt of tha
weak receipts have been moderate,
amounting to something like 15,000 head,
as against 13,000 head during the same
time Jast week and 15,000, head two weeks
ado. On the corresponding days a year
ago about 15,500 head wore yarded.

STIMSON FOR BUDGET SYSTEM
Former Secretary Advocates Change
in Legislative Methods,
COMMITTEE SYSTEM IS BAD
lln Sn President Mhntalil llnro
Power to Inltlntp I.cglslntlon nnd
Cnhlnct Member lllght to
I) den it. tt In Consrrc.
I'Hl LA D15LPH I A, May 2S.-Oovernmcnt
by congreeslonnl committee was con
demned tonight by Henry L. Stimson,
secretary of war In President Tnfts
cabinet ns a wretched nnd Impossible
system, handicapping efficiency and
patriotism and promoting selfishness and
corruption. First aid corrective methods,
Mr. Stimson asserted In nn address bf
fort? tho Law Academy of Philadelphia
may bo divided Into two classes, fiscal
nnd general legislation, somewhat ns
follows:
ljiecnl Legislation A law should b.
enacted giving the president the rlRht
to -Introduce Into, congress a budget if
expenses'-for tho pomtng year ns well us
proposals of now legislation, If any.
through which exjra revenue might be
obtained. Cabinet officers should be
glvoii a statutory right to defend from
tho floor of tho house and tha senate
tho portions . of such n budget coming
within their respective departments; both
houses should be forbidden by law to
ndd Items to such n budget except with
tho president's roncurrencc, or the presi
dent should bo. permitted to write fnj
dtvldual Items Ih the appropriation bill,
Itlfiltt to liilmducp Illlls.
General Legislation Tho president
should bo permitted to introduce bills In
consrasni theso bills should be given
preference 1n tha calendnr over all other
bills, oxcepl appropriation bills and
amendments to' them should lie allowed
only on tho f toot of either house; rablnet
officers should be Klvon tho right to ap
pear on tho floor of either house and dis
cuss bills ot Retiarnl legislation so far ns
they affect their respective departments.
At the outset of his speech Mr. Stim
son , ald ho wtiht6d to dissent from
two methods commonly suggested for
remedying the present legislative fcystem.
One wna that "wo don't gc good enough
men to go to congress," Tho other was
ithe referendum as a normal and every-
day matnod.or legislation, un tho first
method Sir. Stimson declared his belief
that members of congress nnd tho state
legislatures, were on the average fairly
representatlvo of tho American business
Ufa about thorn ! tho moral standards
which thy maintain nro rather higher.
than tho moral- standards of tho worth
nbout them.
As to the referendum, Mr. Stlmso
begged lenVo to remind his audience tha'
icprcscntntlvo government as a whole ii
an evolution to meet the problems of nf
more complex age than the times when
tho people governed themselves. "Wijf
shall not cure this difficulty by going
hack ' to the obsolete machinery of t
simpler age." 1
Contrrra Without Lrnilernliln.
Tho principal natural tonic of lawmak'
mg nnu ucvii uiscnruca ny icq unite
States, he said, in barring thn executive
from participation. In the introductlo
and discussion ot proposed legislation
Continuing he said In part:
"Dy depriving congress of leadershl
In Itgislntlon wo leave It without an:
natural or normal leadership whatever;
n such a body leadership is Imperative
We havo produced, o, system of commit'
tea government under which a part oi
tha selective! process is ostensibly don
by certain standing committees of th
housa and senate,
"The first characteristic of this devei
opment that wo notice Is that the tre3
;mendous powers nro exercised In secroC
rna ny men who neither as, Dommltte
men or nn congressmen arts responsible!
to the country nt large. Those legls!.!
tlve metnods probably Invito demands
for Improper favors. Tho secrecy ot tho
commltteo room plnys directly Into tho
hands of the lobbyist and the corpor
is e seektr for favor, while the lack ot
personal responsibility makes it Impost
slblo for the people to punish nnyona"
politically Tor the results of the system;
"I bolleve that by far the greatest part,
of tho Inefficiency and attendant corrupt
tion from which we are suffering In oui
federal and our state governments 104
day can b directly traced to that VenJ
eroble heresy which keeps the Influence
of our executives out of our halls of
congress nnd assemblies."
