SECRET SOCIETY QUESTION
Comes Up Before United Church,

Historical Church Building.
While discussing a model constitution
for congregations yesterday, the United
church raised the question of admitting
members of secret orders. The section
was left undetermined after warm dis
cussion. IT was, however, required that
combination would be insisted upon as
one of the requisites of admission to the
church. =
Rev. L. M Bjorn of Zumbrota made an
eloquent appeal for the preservation OF
the oldest Norwegian Lutheran church
at Muskego, Wis. 1t was the Oldest
Norwegian church in existence and one
of the very first erected by Norwegians In
America The structure will be removed
to a site near the seminary at St. An

has been framed with the utmost caution
and care to carry out the policy declared
for in President Rooseyelts message to
congress and in the last annual repor. of
the secretary Of the interior of making
the remaining public lands available for
home makers and creating opportunities
for millions of our citizens to become in.
dependent home owners.
The administration. Of the measure is
in the hands of it's friends: There is not
shadow of doubt that the measure will
be so enforced as to carry out this CEN
trail idea and guard against every attempt
at speculation or land grabbing OF land
or water monopoly under it. The presi-
dent is known to have his whole heart in
this great national home making plan and
he may be depended ON not to permit it
to niscarry.-
During the debate on the bill much was
said by those opposed to 1t about the in
EQUITY of taxing the eastern farmer to
create competition with him. The fact
is that not dollar of taxes will be laid
on any eastern farmer under this law and
no competition with him will be created
The building of these great government
irrigation works must necessarily proceed
so slowly that the new areas brought I'M
der cultivation will not keep pace with
our rapidly increasing population, and the
eastern farmer, instead of being injured
will be benefited by the greatly increased
demand for the manufactured products of
the eastern factories, whose operatives
the eastern farmer feeds.
This was well expressed by the presi-
dent in his message to congress, where he
said:
The increased demand for manufactured
articles will stimulate industrial production,
while wider home markets and the trade of
Asia will consume the larger food supplies
and effectually prevent western competition
with eastern agriculture. Indeed the prod
ucts of irrigation will be consumed chiefly in
upbuiIding local centers of mining and other
Industries, which would otherwise not come
into existence at all. Our people as a whole
will profit, fer successful home making is but
another name for the upbuilding of the ma
ton.
