THE CONSUMERS NECK.
rOcheyedon Press

The consumer, 1t seems. Is bound to
get 1t in the neck no matter which way
ne turns. Just because there happens
to be an abundant fruit crop this year
and the housewife smiles at the pros
poets Of laying In big supply Of home
canned goods the sugar trust at once
becomes active and boosts the price on
granulated. The consumer might as
wei TRY to extinguish hell with a
chemical engine as attempt to buck the
trusts. And vet there are reactionary
republicans everlastingly bowling for
further protection for these bloatcd
corporations. When a decent repre-
sentative OF the common people gets
up to champion their cause he i'm
mediately dubbed q crank, a dema-
gougue and an insurgent who unless
he ceases his plea for progressive leg
islation in favor Of all the people. is
going to hurt big business. The repub-
lican reacnoaarfes who have sold
once progressive. representative party
to the big interests and betrayed the
people for the proverbial thirty pieces
of silver. are deserving of nothing but
Reputation at the hands Of these same
people in the coming campaign.

INSPIRING FARM lARoRERs.

The problem OF insurance against
farming accidents is still on the board
in France. Italy, Russia, Switzerland,
and many other countries. It has al
ready been definitely solved in Den

BY a vote Of 265 to 80 the Canadian

amendments were allowed to the bill,
which was very similar to the one
passed last session, except that it car
ried an added section which author

obtain further reciprocal trade rela-
tions with Canada. Ten of the OPP
posing votes were cast by the Demo
Gratis and the other 70 by Republicans.
Formal demands made by insurgent
Republican senators that they be rec
ognized as an organization distinct
from the Republican majority in the
United States senate and that they be
given one-fourth Of all the majority

importations for the last fiscal year.
Representative Berger, Socialist, OF
Wisconsin, wants congress to have
power to call a constr utional conven-
ton. He introduced a resolution pro-
posing an amendment to the Consti-

characterized the Constitution as

certain to result in depreciation of
American farm lands.
