Farmers Will Learn
Grain Doesn't Pay

Some of these days the farmers OF
South Dakota will discover their mis-
take in trying to make anything like
a principal crop out of small grain.
When that day comes South Dakota
will be a country of corn and alfalfa
There are some spots in South Dako-
ia today that have not shared in the
rainfall that has extended over most
of the state. In every one OF these
places it is the small grain alone that
is causing worry. 1t is impossible to
cultivate the soil in which it grows,
and this is why it dries out 80 quickly.
Further its roots do not extend far
enough down to give it ccess to the
moisture in the sub-soil.
But no one is alarmed anywhere by
any bad effects upon corn or alfalfa,
In the case of corn, the ground can
be cultivated frequently and this IN
itself multipiies the value Of all the
rain that is received. The roots OF
alfalfa will extend as much as rs feet
into the ground, in quest Of moisture
and therefore it Is comparatively free
from the effects Of dry weather for
a few weeks duration.
If small grain were proportfonateiy
more profitable than the other crops
there might be some excuse for this
gambling on the weather Of g week q
two in June every year. But even 9
good crop Of small grain brings little
more than i living to the farmer And

So, Mr.. Farmer, II you deal with
a mail order house in a distant city
you are taking a course that takes
from the value Of your farm, that
renders 1t less desirable as q place Of
residence and less productive Of
profit. You cant follow a system that
injuries your neighbors without being
compelled to shoulder some of the
expense yourself. Take the safer
course and spend YOU money where
you make it.-By Holland.

Uniting the Forces Of Colorado
That Stand For Protection and
Economical State Administration
(By Alva A. swaIn.)

lby AVA A. SWAMI
Five years ago the Republican party
controlled every state Office but QUE In
Colorado and controlled approximately
IS per cent OF all other public posi-
lions in the state. Today the party
controls bare 30 per cent Of the city
and county positions and has but two
men In the capitol building. The des-
cent from authority and power to al
most a nonenity in state politics was
rapid and practically unprecedented.
II is useless to discuss the reasons for
shis fall other than to say the party
was caught between the milestone OF
dissatisfaction among its younger
members called reform" that swept
the country during the last three
years.
The question TO be discussed In this
article is: The reviying OF the RE-
publican party and its future installa-
ton into power and authority in state
county and city government matters
IN Colorado.
There are two fundamental reasons
Why the Republican party should
again be placed in power. Rather the
statement might be made differently.
as follows: There are two fundamea-
tai reasons why democracy should be
Shorn OF its power. Those reasons
are, first, The ruina'lon thai will come
20 Colorado's mining. sugar beet, wool
and other interests by reason OF the
proposed Democratic tariff. Second;
10 our educational and other state in
stitutions by reason OF the fact that
democracy has increased political pay
rolls to such an extent that there are
no funds for the maintenance Of state
institutions.
There should be some plan devised
that will unite in one fighting force.
every man and woman within our bor-
ders who believe In the protection Of
cur Industries, and who believe that
taxes are paid for the maintenance OF
public institutions rather than for the
maintenance OF Democratic political
workers. The organization or party
that can unite the men and women
who thus believe into one body will be
.he successful party at the next cleo
zion True 1t is that II was third ~
a part OF the race last year and sec
ond in the rest, but that came as much
from the two reasons noted above as
from anything else. 1t was not be-
cause the mass OF the voters do not
believe in Republican principles.
The progressive party has served its
purpose in that 1t was used as n pro-
test against the past actions of the Re-
publican leaders. and In that 1t sprung

the air and It was used as a waste

DENVER LETTER

Denver. July 2s.-Four years ago
this summer Governor shafroth con-
vened the legislature In extra session
and forced the members to submit a
constitutional amendment providing
for the initiative and referendum The
extra session and the attendant cos,
! OF adopting that amendment tota..d
approximately siso.ooo. Today Gov
ernor Ammons Is trying to ind n VA.
to convene his assembly In extra ses-
sion in order to thwart the operation
of the referendum part OF that constl-
tutionai amendment. In other words.
Governor Ammons Is trying to undo
with an extra session what Governor
Shafroth did with an extra session.
, Those who supported the initiative
and referendum as II was submitted
by that extra session seemed TO forget
that the very interests they we're ..y-
ing to put out OF business with that
amendment could use II TO their oxa
advantage just the came as the peo-
pie could use H.
Governor Ammons ls beginning TO
feel that he cannot recall the public
utility bill from the ofice OF the Sec
retary OF State where II has been rp-
ferred for Judgment OF the people.
Hence he is considering tho propos.-
tion OF consening his legislature n
extra session in an attempt to re-
enact the bill. word for word. with =
time limit az TO It's operation. and II,
clude In II the emergency clause and
the safety clutch 50 as TO put II In

Is to have the bill expire on election
day of next year when the people VIII
vote on the one referred. Under tue
decision of the supreme court >,
would not be necessary to place tha
time limit In the bill. for n legisie-
tive act supercedes an act OF the peg
pie under the referendum. and the
legislative enactment would be the

nor Ammons stated Wednesday that
he did not believe there were suri-
Client funds to pay single member
OF the commission, hence he wonli
appoint all three members from
among the state officers and let them
serve without salaries. Under Demo-
cratic rule the State Land Board Com
mission has been failure and the

equipped state institutions Is there
fore against democracy. The fight
must be carried into the Democratic
camps on this line.
How can It be done?
Last fall the regular Republicans
were controlled and managed by what
is known as the standpat leaders or
the old guard. The Progressives were
controlled and managed by what was
known as the reformers. In the ranks
Of the regular Republicans and In the
ranks Of the Progressives were thou
sands OF men and women who knew
that defeat was inevitable. men and
women who wanted the two organiza-
tions to get together, who were not N
harmony with etther the policy OF the
. stand-pat leaders OF the regular Re-
publican party or the reform leaders
OF the Progressive party. These men
and women knew that both leaders
were extremists according to the
times Of the day. Yet they knew that
TO unite them last year was a hope
less task. It is probably a hopeless
task TO unite them at the coming cleo
tion. 1t will probably be found next
year that these same leaders Will In
sist on the management Of two cam
paIgns. But 1t Will not be hopeless
task to unite the rank and file of both
wings OF anti-Democracy. II the rank
and file be united. then the leaders
will necessarily have to Join the or
ganlzation. The hopes OF the Repub-
lican party does not lie in the man
agement OF the party by its so-called
old line leaders. Neither does II lie
in the hope that the Progressive lead
ers will take hold OF II and make II
an adjunct to Democratic reforms
Rather does It lie In the hope that the
rank and file can realize that the two
issues are the revival OF commercial
activity In the state and the harboring
of state finances to the educational
benefit OF our children. Those who
class themselves among the rank and
file must assume charge OF this ques-
tion and do their part towards solving
It in his or her respective community
When the organization shall have
been affected with new blood in every
department; and when II shall have
started an active campaign on these
two issues, then viii the future of the
party in this state be solved.
The claim OF the leaders OF the Re-
publican party and OF the Progress
sive party that there are fundamental
differences OF principle that connot BE
adjusted is unjust. unfounded and
made largely for the purpose OF main
tanning their leadership.
The differences as view by the
masses are extremely few and unim-
portant when compared with the grea.
demand for removed commercial ac-
tivity and renewed state institutional
efficiency.

Must Forget Past.

Must Forget Past.
II the Republican party can be so
OBLIGATED In each county and precinct
in the state that its leaders will for
get that there was ever a stand-pat
Republican In the community or that
there was ever a Progressive in the
community, and who can keep the in
dividual members OF those two past
" 'ngs Of anti Democratic sentiment in
line on the two propositions Of protec-
ton OF Colorado industries and pro-
lection for Colorado institutions, then
those leaders will win for the party.
AT the time the Republican party
began to lose as a factor in national
and state politics five years ago, a re-
form wave which demanded the ini-
tiative and referendum, the recall and
a dozen other similar principles was
beginning to sweep the country. As
this reform wave gained in force II
was soon seen that II was not in fIar-
mony with the views OF the old lead
ers OF the Republican party. The re-
suit was inevitable and happened At
this time many Of those reforms have
been written into the constitution and
statutes OF the various states OF the
union. They are losing their strength
as shown by the fight now being wag-
ed by the Democratic party in this
state against the use OF the referen-
dunn on the public utility bill. With
the losing OF this reform wave
strength the people are naturally
turning to some other principle Of
government for discussion and pro-
motion into law. The two most dis
cussed subjects in Colorado today are
its commercial future by reason OF the
Democratic tariff and its financial fu-
ture by reason OF the Democratic mis-
management OF states finances. The
fact that the state institutions are
facing a deficiency warrant issue, or
closing their doors is far more dis
cussed In Colorado today than the
Initiative OF referendum. The sugar
beet industry and its future is on the
tongue OF everyone. nearly every hour
in the day while the recall is a word
that is seldom used in conversation.
The exigcncies OF the times has
changed the political discussion.
Democracy practically stands for
free trade which means ruined COM

institutions for Coolrado.
