HIGH COST OF LIVING NOT TO BE BLAMED ON FARMER Beet Sugar Production, Water power Sites and Livestock Ranges Discussed. j TVASHrGTON, Dec. 7. The report of James Wilson, secretary of agricul ture, is distinctly a liarbiiiRcr of good times. Among other things it dis cusses the high cost of living, beet sugar production, livestock ranges, wa ter power, etc. The more important Darts of the report follow: Nothing short of omniscience can grasp the value of the farm products of this year, is tiie statement ot the secretary of agriculture In his annual report for 1910, published today. At no time in tho world's history has a country pro duced farm products within one year with a value reaching ?8.926,000,0O0. which Is the value of the agricultural products of this country for 1810. Tho value of farm products "from 1S90 to the present year has been progressive without interruption. If the value of the products of 18U!1 is pladfcd at 100, the value for this year is 1S9, or almost double the value for the census year eleven years aso. "During this period of unexampled agricultural production, a period of twelve years, during which the farmers of this country have steadily advanced in pros perity and wealth and In economic In dependence, in intelligence and a knowl edge of agriculture, the total value of farm products Is ?7i),000,0001000." Corn Crop Tremendous. The corn crop of 0,121,381,000 bushels exceeds that of the record year, 190G, and Is greater than the average crop of the preceding live years by 14 per cent. While the value of this corn crop is below that of 1909 und also of 190S. Its amount bolongs to stories of magic. It can hardly be reckoned as less than SI, 500. 000,000, 'a sum sufficient to can cel the interest-bearing debt of tho United States, buy all of tho gold and silver mined In all of the countries of the earth In 1909 and still leave lo the farmers a little pockcl money. All of the cereals except corn aro to gether worth only three-fourths as much as that crop. The great allied iron and steel industries had. In the last census year for which results have been pub lished, 190), a production worth only 60 per cent of the value of this year's corn crop. The growing Importance of the south in corn production Is becoming conspicu ous. In 1SSD It produced hardly mow than one-fifth of the national crop; now It produces one-third. The cotton crop of this year may be worth in lint and seed a round ?900.000. 000 at the farm. This value is 13 per cent above the (lvc-year average. The value of tho hay crop is about $70,000.1100. an amount which has been exceeded but once, and that in 1907; it Is 13, per cent above the average of the preceding live years. Winter and Spring Wheat. Fortunately the wheal crop is divided into two sowings, autumn and spring, so that Ihe. two crops are subject to dif ferent climatic accidents, as was the ease this year. The production of spring and winter wheal Is 691.767,000 bushola, or substantially the average of the pre-, ceding live years, whereas tho value Is about ?61!5,000,000. or 7.6 per cent above the live-year average. Easily the liflh crop In point of value Is oats, the value of which this year is ?3SO,000.000, or 12 per cent above tho average of the five preceding years. In quantity Ihe oats crop this year is mag nificent. For the second time In tho history of this country the crop exceeds Continued ou Tago Seven.

REVIEWS SECRETARY OF INTERIOR'S IMPORTANT ACTS Investigators Tell Why They Were Justified and Make Many Recommendations. WASHINGTON, Dec. 7. The Ballinger Plnchot Investigating committee, after eleven months' work, made Its final re port lo congress today. In tho opinion of seven Republican members, a majority of tho committee, Secretary Balllnger "honestly and faith fully performed the duties of his high office, with an eye single to the public interest." In the opinion of the four Democrats, Mr. Balllnger "has not been true to the trust reposed In him as secretary of the Interior, and should be requested by the proper authorities to resign." Both reports, with the independent re port of Representative Madison. Insur gent Republican, also adverse to Mr. Bal llnger. were offered in the senate by Senator Nelson and in the house by Rep-, rcsenlative MeCall. Their presentation followed ' a meeting of the full com mittee. An order for thirty thousand copies of tho reporl was made by the senate. Democrats Will Object. Senator Fletcher said later that steps will be taken by the Democrats to bring about action in accordance with their report, characterizing Secretary Baliln gen as "not deserving of the public con- i fidencc." The reports were accepted in both houses without comment. The plan of nctlon to be followed by the Democrats has not been determined, bul it is un derstood a resolution will be presented to carry out the recommendation for the secretary's removal. Such a resolution probably will call flatly upon the presi dent to discharge his cabinet' officer. The Democrats held a conference on j tho matter today. They characterize the majority reporl as "weak." while the Republican members of the committee say It has fully answered all charges against Ballinger. and has disposed of all testimony presented in the long hear ings. An effort undoubtedly will be made lo put' the house on record as to Its opinion of the majority report. Tho general feeling Is there would be no action on the report at. this session, which means not at all. for thev rcport loses its force with tho expiration of the present congress In March.

Douglas Scores Splendid Victory Over Fed- eral Bunch in Fifth. iH DESERVED REBUKE GIVEN H CLIQUE OF CONSPIRATORS ' Non-Partisan Candidates Are iH Elected in AH of Other Pre- cincts of City. iH A deserved rebuke was administered H lo the conspirators of the federal bunch in the Fifth precinct Wednesday, when Dr. Charles I. Douglas was elected a H member of the board of education by a plurality over Dr. Gilbert P. Pfoutr, the federal bunch candidate, of 148 votes. Thus did the people of the Fifth ward stamp with stern disapproval the tactics employed by the federal bunch plotters, jH and thus did the Americans of the pre cinct once more assert that retribution J awaits any clique or gang that tries any crooked work. The victory of Dr. Douglas is a warn iug to the conspirators that the day has passed when the people can be hood winked, and when they aro willing to become blind victims of a dirty scheme. such as was attempted in the ward la connection with this 3chool election cam- One week ago Wednesday night a num her of the residents of the Fifth ward in response to a call for a non-partisan IH meeting, gathered at the old city hall to nominate candidates for the long term aud the short term. It was the tacit understanding that the incumbents IH should be renominated, and that Micro IH was to be no opposition. The meeting was. in fact, more in tho nature of a ratification meeting than a nominating convention. The understanding was clear, and everyone who went to tho meeting with an honest purpose, thought of nothing else than living up to that understanding. The Incumbents were W. J. Barretts and L. M. Bailey. Mr. Barrettc waa nominated for the long term, according to the understanding, but when the fed- eral bunch packers saw thai they could control the meeting, they placed in nom ination Dr. Pfoutz. whose sympathies are with the federal bunch. The friends of Mr. Bailey could muster only 19 votes as against 2: for Dr. Pfoutz, and the latter was declared the nominee, Those who have stood guard for tho IH Interests of the public schools of this city were astonished that so despicable a. trick "should haVe'"irecn played upo.i them, and they determined to recti f? their error. Therefore, on Saturday night a mass convention of representative Americans was held, and Dr. Douglas was nominated. The result of Wednes day's balloting shows that, the people do not approve attempts to thwart their will, especially when the means employed ara of the sneaking, underhanded kind. Lesson Is Taught. A lesson is taught In the situation lr the Fifth Which came to a happy cIoeo last evening. That lesson Is that tho federal bunch can In no wise, or at any time, or in any place, le trusted. Tho federal bunch Is so constituted that there IH are always keenly alert unscrupulous henchmen who eagerly seize upon every opening (hat presents Itself. It Is clear, consequently, that the Americans must keep a halr-trlggcr watcii on these con scienceless conspirators, not for a day, or a month, but forever and eternally.
