PERKINS SON AND MINE.

ceorza W, Perkins has contributed
somewhat more than money and per-
sonal influence to the campaign. HIS
reason for being progressive Is dis
,inct contribution Of itself. Mr.. Per-
kins says he is a progressive because
nrnx7.ss.ve;s.:. offers q better chance
for his son.
OF course it Is only another way OF
saying the same thing. Progressive
ism means the retention Of opportunity
for all men and the denial of special
powers and privileges to a few men.
But Perkins, thinking Of his own son,
is doing what every other father does
first The beginning Of the charity Of
government is at home. We think Of
the future Of our own sons, and thus
in general way include the sons of
other men.
Which is best for your son, progress
siveism or standpatism? Under which
chance? Which is better in Iowa. the
old regime OF the corporations and
railroads when the double dictatorship
censored candidates and controlled leg
islation or the new deal under the
state wide primary? Under which sys-
TEN, government by bosses or govern
ment by the majority is your son most
likely to succeed? Which Is best for
our sons?

longer period some of the largest and
most expensive federal buildings now
in existence were erected. These IN
cluded custom houses, subtreasuries
and postoffices in the larger cities.
In 1908 the custom of bringing into
the house an omnibus public building
bill was inaugurated. Extravaganza
in this respect had been running hish
before, but now it began &c r3c riot.
Every congressman and every senator
DESTROYS of showing what he could do
in the matter Of bringing public money
into his district or stae sought rep
resentat.on in the omnibus measure.
The consequence was rush Of bills.
AS against ,721 buildings authorized IN
the last ten years, bills now before
congress provide for the erection OF
$50 buildings. the cost Of which is
estimated at s72 200. 900. II only these
buildings should be erected IN the
next decade, the country in twenty
years would have expended In this
wav s44.ooO.Ooo more than It had ex-
pended in the previous l23 years. but
it must be remembered that the w.
0oG, coo provided for by pending p'iis
represents only a part Of the amount
that will be asked for before 1922.
Many things connected with the
erection of public buildings call Tor
investigation and reform. The ap-
propriations are going. in numerous
cases, to places that have no real
need Of federal structures; While the
government maintains a supervising
architects department, extravaganza
sums in fees are being paid 70 special
ly engaged architects. and TO cap 1t all.
it frequently occurs that the federal
building costing all the way from
100000 to 100000 is found TO De
Inadequate to meet the purposes re-
outred Of It before 1t is completed. Inc
Cline comrpittee's accommodation that
the business OF erecting public build
ings be placed IN charge OF bureau
provided by congress Is an excellent
one, for congress is not exhibiting an
ability to handle 1t directly with re-
gard for the best interests OF the coun-
try.

the other hand. the Barnes Psnrosef
Crane machine demanded as the price
for permitting an honest CONVENTIONS
that Colonel Roosevelt absolutely elm
mate himself from its consideration.
This he refused to do as any self-re-
specting man must have done. He was
the unquestioned. choicel1of majority
Of the republican voters and as such
was entitled to the nomination. New
ertheless ne was willing to take his
chances with the majority Of the con-
vention against him II the bosses
would permit the honestly elected del
egates to be seated. This they refused
to do. They would take no chance.
They were out to beat Theodore Roose-
welt, regardless Of the party's wishes
or its welfare. They were there to re-
assert their power in the party and
bolster up waning system Of political
control. They did not care particularly
who received the nomination SO long as
it was not Colonel Roosevelt. With any
other candidate they would have saved
their faces and continued their grip
in the party machinery. This was true
because Roosevelt was the man who
had made the campaign against them.
His nomination meant loss Of place and
power for them, meant the Rule Of
the people" as practical fact and not
as a Pigment of the imagination.
Therefore the old guard made its last

itics. A big vote for the head Of the
ticket means future strength for the
third party in this state. The main
furore that is being raised for third
party state ticket arises from those who
desire to be candidates and those who
have knives to flesh. In fact the big
noise does not come from the third
party at all. 1t is being created IN the
standpat camp in the effort to make
war between progressives. Its loudest
heralds are the standpat newspapers
and its beneficiary would be Taft.

THAT BIG GRUMPY FARM.

In Grundy county the other day
big farm was cut up into smaller
farms and sold. The section brought
$4,000. Sold in entirety it would
have brought considerably less. There
are few buyers for an entire section OF
Iowa land at top prices. Few buyers
have the money to handle 1t and those
who have propose to buy low and sell
high. If it had been bought by a heavy
specularor the first thing he would
have done would have been to divide 1t
into farms Of size to sell quickly and
for the most money.
This suggests that the big farm
question Is likely to settle itself and
work out the problem of its own dlVl-
sion into smaller holdings. There
seems to be no prospect OF a great
landlord class in Iowa, holding large
tracts to be cultivated by an American
peasartry. The system in this country
seems to have died with the PATRONS
of New York On the other hand the
demand for smaller farms grows as
the price Of land rises. The holders OF
large tracts in the corn belt do not

The administration and protection or

view to the utilization of their
economic resources. but also to make
them serve the public in every possible

The forest service works in cooper

There is an Old tradition on the

brighten his face and make merry his
spirit. Even in stormy spells, when the
shocks dripped and the stacks steamed,
Or we're soggy and moldy, the thresher
was expected to be Of good cheer. But
the thresher of the older days had his
trials. Often he slept In the strawpile

Public Building Legislation.


A great deal has been said in the
last few years in condemnation OF the
methods pursued by congress with re-
gard to rivers and harbors legislation.
This has not been wholly futile. Pub
lie sentiment is running counter to
continuance Of a practise which means
in effect a division Of treasury receipts
among the congressional districts with
little care as to how the appropria-
tons for real or fictitious waterway
improvements shall be used. There Is
going to be less disposition at Wash
ington hereafter to help representa-
tives and senators who are looking for
rivers and harbors appropriations
merely as sops for their districts and
states. The growth Of intelligent I'M
Outstanding of the needs Of the coun-
try in water transportation and mar
Dor facilities Is helping wonderfully
to prevent the squandering OF money
upon projects brought forward solely
for the purpose Of putting money IN
circulation "at home" ..
But the public building abuse also
demands the serious attention OF all
riEi1t-minded citizens. The drain upon
the treasury to provide public build
ings for every congressional o1strlc.
is becoming greater annually; should
1t be permitted to grow at the present
ratio it will not be long before the ap-
preparations for new federal struc-
lures yearly will be able to make a
very respectable appearance along
side those for the army. navy ana
pensions.
A few figures will give. IN !oea OF
the trend of things in this particular.
