Tbe danger In the plan is that it
win place eoormous power In the
hands of the Innpectors. Through
control or corruption of such Inspec
tors it would be possible for the bay
ing Interests to work great injustice
on the farmers. It is complained
that this very thing is done in Canada
where tbe inspection plan Is in vogue.
It Is asserted the inspectors will grade
wheat low when it Is being sold by
farmers and that wheat purchased at
second grade prices will be sold
abroad as first grade.
Whether those charges are true or
rot it is clear that such abuses could
arise very easily. Through "handling"
the Inspection bureau the brokers
could work a systematic swindle up
on the growers and there would be
no recourse. Under the present plan
of testing grain the farmer has the
advantage of competition between dif
ferent buyers. If one company grades
his wheat too low the fiirmer can
turn to a different buyer and obtain
Juftlce. Thus competition serves as
a lever for the protection of the far
mer. Abolish this system and set up
a plan of state inspection and the
farmer will have to accept the grad-
Jaf of the bureau Whether that work
Is honestly done or cot.
The inspection plan has ali the
earmarks of a game wherein the
grower has much to lone but nothing
to' gain.

ocean. That battle off the coast of
Chile was a noteworthy triumph for
the kaiser, though later offset by the
German defeat off the Falkland is
lands. The sinking of the Audacious
by a German submarine and tbe de
struction of the Bulwark ia tbe
Thames added further glory to the
Germany navy.
Despite all this however, the Eng
lish naval strength is so prepoader
cus that .hn Bull can afford to feel
easy as far as ocean warfare is con
cerned. The British now have al
moHt absolute control of the sea and
nothing short of a miracle can chance
the situation. But this control and
surplus of sea power is not serving to
keep the Germuns from doing spec
tacular work when they get the op
portunity. There is an unusual shortage of
rain here for this time of the year.

forty millions a year.
