STAND FOR HOLD-UP
Independents Will Lose Their
Power in House if Too
Much Is Demanded.
FAIR PLAN WOULD WiN
Democrats and Republicans May Di
vide Committee Chairmanships
and Leave "Little Five" Out
to Escape Domination.
OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU, Wash
ington, Feb.' 10. The "five little In
dependents" of the next House of Rep
resentatives, who have! been .much ad
vertised by reason of the fact that they
hold the balance of power, and may
fee able, by lining up with either the
Democrats or the Republicans, to dic
tate how the next House shall be
organized, show signs of overplaying:
meir nana, and It is quite possible
that they may be denied the oower
to which some of them seem to aspire.
One of their number, Mr. Randall,
f California, the lone Prohibitionist
In the House, has let it be known that
he wants to band together the five
Independent members and throw their
combined strength to whichever party
will offer the most by way of re
ward.
Mr. Randall figures that he and his
four associates are in a position to
bold up the House and get whatever
they want and demand in the way- of
committee assignments and patronage.
Thus far It is not apparent that the
other four independents are ready to
play the Randall game.
Neither Party to Submit.
But among older members of the
House, regardless of party, there is
considerable quiet talk which indi
cates that neither the Democrats nor
the Republicans intend to submit to
any hold-up by five members. And
It is quite possible that an agreement
may be reached between the two old
parties which will have the inde
pendents out in the cold. Preferably,
either and both the big parties would
like to have the co-operation of the
Independent members, and if the inde
pendents, after reflection, decide to
abandon Mr. Randall's hold-up scheme,
they unquestionably can make terms
with one party or the other if they
themselves can act in accord. But not
even that is certain.
The part the Independents are to
play in the next House of Representa
tives will be gauged by the plan they
present. If they band together to work
In a sensible way for progressive leg
islation, they probably can get it; if,
on the other hand, they gro to ex
tremes and try to coerce the House
Into doing radical things and if they
attempt to build up themselves rather
than to work for progressive prin
clples,they will accomplish nothing.
Sane Plan VouId Be Accepted.
They can, with some hope of success,
propose a sensible plan of legislation
to both the old parties, and array them
selves with the party most in accord
with their views. But, on the other
hand, if they try to sandbag the old
parties into giving them all the big
committee chairmanships and all the
big patronage of the House as the
price of their support, they will force
tVm -Ronublieans and Democrats into
some sort of working compact which
will leave the independents out of con
sideration. It is quite possible, as a last resort,
for the Democrats and Republicans to
divide up the House honors for the
next two years: it would be possible
to have Republicans in control of some
committees and Democrats in control of
others, or it would be possible to 'or
ganize committees with an equal num
ber of Democrats and Republicans,
dividing the chairmanships, and some
such scheme Would be seriously pro
posed should the independent members,
under the leadership of Mr. Randall, un
dertake to grab control of the House.

WOMEN STUDENTS EXCEL
ETEX IX MATHEMATICS SLIGHT
LEAD IS MAINTAINED.
Girls In Academy Similarly Show
Higher Scholarship Percen
ages Than Boys.
NEWBERG, Or.. Feb. 10 (Special.)
According to the figures of the sem
ester Just closed, the women of Pacific
College and Academy are emphatically
better from a standpoint of scholar
ship than the men. President Pen
nington announced some figures in
chapel that were very much more
pleasant to the young women than the
young men.
The work was divided into three
groups, mathematics, languages and
other subjects, including history, sci
ence. English, etc. The men were sup
posed to win in the first, with no par
ticular advantage for either sex in the
last group, the women having the ad
vantage in the languages.
Such was not the result, however.
The women won in every comparison.
In the languages, the fair sex had aver
ages of 88.3 in the academy, and 89
In the college, as against 80 for the
boys in the academy and 84.2 for the
young men of the college. In the gen
eral subjects the women won again.
with averages of 87.7 in the academy
and 90.1 in the college, while the best
the sterner sex could do was 86.4 in
the academy and 87.1 in the college.
In mathematics, which is supposed to
be man's own field, the college men
were very close to the young women.
with an average of 87.5 to the women s
87.7. But in the academy the boys
suffered ignominious defeat, with an
average of but 75.3, while the academy
girls averaged 86.6 in this department.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 10. At direc
tion of President Wilson the Federal
Trade Commission and the Department
of Agriculture will begin an immedi
ate investigation Into the causes of ad
vancing food prices in the United
States with special reference to al
leged violations of the anti-trust acts.
An emergency appropriation will be
asked of Congress for the inquiry.
The trade commission announced to
day that it had held a conference with
agricultural department official to
worK out preliminary plans for the in
vestigation and at the same time made
public President Wilson's request for
an inquiry. An adequate food supply,
a matter of concern to the Nation at
all times, is of peculiar Importance at
the present, the President declared
Despite much that has been done to
ward obtaining definite information
concerning the supply and demand of
foods, it is not yet clear, he said, what
measures are necessary to fundamental
Improvements.
Staple Prices Desirable.
It Is obvious." the letter asserts.
"that there will be no sufficient In
centive to enlarge production if there
does not exist an unobstructed and
economical system of distribution. Un
Justifiable fluctuations in prices are
not merely demoralizing; they Inevi
tably deter adequate production. It
has been alleged . . . that the
course of trade In Important food
products is not free, but Is restricted
and controlled by artificial and illegal
means. It is of the highest public con
cern to ascertain the truth or falsity
or tnese allegations."
No business can be transacted ef
fectively in an atmosphere of sus
plclon. When the allegations are well
grounded it is necessary that the na
ture and extent of the evils and abuses
be accurately determined so that proper
remedies, legislative or administrative,
may be applied. If they are not true
it is equally essential that the public
be informed, so that unrest and dis
satisfaction may be allayed.
Manipulation Is Suspected.
The commission is ordered "to ascer
tain the facts bearing on alleged vio
lations of the anti-trust acts, and par
ticularly upon the question whether
mere are manipulations, controls,
trusts, combinations, conspiracies or
restraints of trade out of harmony with
me law or the public Interest. Fresl
dent Wilson's letter directing the In
quiry is as follows:
"An adequate supply of food prod
ucts is a matter of concern to the Na
tion at all times. It Is of peculiar im
portance at present. Our domestic
food supply is normally very large, and
nas Decome Increasingly varied. In
some respects it has steadily expanded
and has kept pace with the increasing
population. Unfortunately, this is no
true, however, of a large number
important staple products, including
certain cereals and, particularly, meats.
Production (lain Too Low,
"While the population of the Nation
has increased 26,000,000 since 1900. the
production of the two leading cereals,
corn ana wheat, while tending to in
crease, has shown only a slight advance
and that of the meat products in the
same period has shown an Increase of
only 3,500,000,000 pounds, a decrease o
z'J pounds per capita.
"Much can be done and is being done
10 cnange inis situation through im
proved methods of production and
through the eradication of plant and
animal oisease.
"But, there are problems also of dls
tribution; and in some respects the
problems presented in this field are the
most difficult. Only recently have of
ficial agencies been created to deal
systematically with this side of the
difficulty. Much work has been done
and considering the limited nature of
the powers under which it has been
conducted, no little headway has been
raaae. particularly in obtaining and dif
fusing useful information.
Nevertheless, It Is not clear In many
directions Just what the nature of the
difficulty is or what measures should
be adopted to effect fundamental im
provements. Many nece: ;ary facts are
not available, and it is questionable
whether any single agency of the
Government at present possesses the
requisite power and equipment to se
cure the information needed to enable
both public and private instrumentali
ties to render their fullest service to
the people.
Fluctuation Deter Production.
It is obvious that there will be no
sufficient incentive to enlarge produc
tion If there does not exist an unob
structed and economical system of dis
tribution. Unjustifiable fluctuations in
prices are not merely demoralizing
they Inevitably deter adequate produc
tion.
"It has been alleged before com
mlttees of Congress and elsewhere that
the course of trade in important food
products is not free, but is restricted
and controlled by artificial and Illegal
means. It is of the highest publi
concern to ascertain the truth or
falsity of the allegations. No busl
ness can be transacted effectively in
an atmosphere of suspicion. If th
allegations are well grounded, it I
necessary that the nature and exten
of the evils and abuses be accuratel
determined, so that proper remedies
legislative or administrative, may b
applied. If they are not true. It Is
equally essential that the public b
informed bo that unrest and dissatls
faction may be allayed.
"In any event, because of the grav
public interest which the food suppl
affects, the efficient performance
the duties Imposed upon agencies o
the Government requires that an in
pertinent facts be ascertained. To thl
end. the powers of such agencies
should be made adequate, if in an
respect they are now deficient.
Full Investigation Ordered.
"Pursuant to the authority conferred
upon me by the act creating the Fed
eral Trade Commission, therefore,
direct the commission, within the scope
of Its powers, to investigate and re
port the facts relative to the produc
tion, ownership, manufacture, storage
and distribution of foodstuffs and th
products or by-products arising from
or In connection with their preparation
and manufacture; to ascertain th
facts bearing on alleged violations of
the anti-trust acts and particular!
upon the question whether there are
manipulations, controls, trusts, comb!
nations, conspiracies or restraints

the public Interest. .
