Sept. complaints are coming: to G. W. Wattles, federal food administrator for Nebraska, that there have been in the past, and still are. unduo activities in speculation in foodstuffs.

These complaints allege that when periMiable foodstuffs are ready for market influences are brought toi bear that force the selling price down to the pioducer; and that when these products bought from the producer are to be sold to the distributor the same influences are exeited to raise prices to an unreasonable demand. It is also alleged in these complaints that sreat quantities of perishable foodstuffs, potatoes and apples, especially, have been in the post, and still are, allowed to spoil. Mr. Wattles does not know whether or no these complaints are true but he proposes to investigate and If he finds sible man. 1 The newly completed cabinet Is again a melting; pot.

The newspapers report that representatives of the social democrats and the social revolutionists visited Premier Korensky-and announced their parties would withdraw if the constitutional democrats were taken back into the ministry. The story of the visit Is not true, but M. Soskioe, secretary to Premier Kerensky who is a member of the council of the social revolution party informed the Associated Press that tho difficulty actually has arisen. Yes- tcrday committees of both parties drew up identical resolutions declaring; It would be impossible to collaborate with Premier Kerensky If constitutional democrats were made ministers, but voting on tho resolutions has been postponed until this evening and there is every hope of an agreement. Both parties accept the principle of a coalition cabinet and have no objection to constitutional democrats becoming; ministers on condition that them true there is but one action to they immediate leave that party.

The T'llTO T'htt IdtTtf fnfirl i i i take law governing food istration is specific, and the a f'ne of $10.000 or imprisonment. Mr. Wattles hopes that the complaint? will prove unfounded. But the effect of a pODular belief thnt there is something in these complaints is bad. both as to increasing production of foodstuffs and as to saving waste.

So he proposes to set at the bottom of the complaints. If Crops From Other Part of Company Under World Come to Country, Halhgan, Leaves May Drop to 75 Cents. (Speial to The Star) OMAHA.

Judging from the tone of press comments, party and individual expressions of opinions which are raining in.

Common Stock Dividends. Mr. Adams submitted a series of tabulations taken from the Traction company's books and reports to the railway commission, showing 1 that it earned enough during- the last fiscal year, ending Juhe 30, to. meet all op- irating expenses, salaries, maintenance and depreciation, bond and dividends on preferred stock, and tiave a surplus of $4,000 left.

The reason the books show a deficit Instead of a surplus, according to the expert's calculation, was that the company paid out during the year as dividends on its common stock. During past two years $99,000 has been paid otit as such dividends. President W. Sharp of the Trac- lon company, who testified in Friday afternoon, was again on the stand for nn hour Saturday morning-. -Ie claimed 7 'per cent a year was necessary as an allowance for main- enance and depreciation, hut Chairman Hall took issue with him on this, minting- out that last year the com- mny had $23,000 surplus In its maln- enance and depreciation account on a per cent basis.

Mr. Sharp declared company had to use this surplus for other pur- oses because Its financial condition reventcd Its gotting new capital for additions and betterments.
