ply to the Socialistic party. 1t has

growth has been constant. 1t did not

1t is this steady growth for more

consideration. Last year there were
over 1000 Socialists in elected Offices
throughout the country. This result
was accomplished without the re-

ship the names of Senator Pen"ose and Senator
Bradley. Both respectfully have asked to have
their names removed Neither is conscious at present
of any such desire In all probability the names of
others have been used without authority. The list
might be considerably shortened S..
As the Star stated the other day, the subject of
Mr.. Roosevelt and leadership again is premature at
this time Nineteen hundred and fourteen comes be-
fore nineteen hundred and sixteen. The question
is what will be done next year to whest control
of the house from the democrats?
The elections of 1910 and last year were lost
through republican divisions. Had the party compos-
ed the differences growing out of the Payne law by
deciding to make second attempt at the schedules
which had provoked the angry controversy it would
probably have carried the Sixy.second house. and
that would have insured success again last year. Mr.
Cannon would have received another term as speaker
and Mr.. Taft second term as president.
But the republican mad up" Instead Of an
adjustment within the party, and adjustment without
took place, and control of the house surrendered
to the democrats and the way paved for the election
Of democratic president.
It is useless to talk about 1916. If the repuD-
leans and the progressves fight each other next year
as they did in 1870 with similar result at the polls,
they will play into the hands of the democrats for
1916 as they did in 1910 for 1912 That is to say, if
through the continued division Of the republicans
the democrats carry the next house, the latter will
be so greatly strengthened for 1916 that something
approaching a miracle will be necessary to dslodge
them.
So far as the tariff is concerned the issue will be
sharply drawn While the Underwood revision is not
a free trade measure in all Of it's provisions, it IS
antiprotecton in principle and its authors are hoping
for a complete and early elimination OF protection
from the national scheme Of taxation Protectioniss'
therefore, who by any means assist in continuing
democratic control will be assisting in the destruction

A good deal of important history must be made
before the next national conventions for nominating
presidential candidates meet, and the nature OF that
history will 20 far in determining the candidates that
will be then named.

VAST Herds SET

NATIONAL Range
Over l55 Million Pounds Of
Beef and 3l2 Million Of
Mutton Raised

Washington, u. c., Sep ga mark
ed increase in the quantity of livestock
graZcd on national forest ranges during
the past fiscal year is reported by the
forest service Nine and a half million
domestic animals have been occupied
during the summer in converting one of
the by-products Of the forests into meat t,
hides. and wool In addition, there We're
in round numbers three hundred thou
sand calves and colts and five million
lambs and kids exempt from permit and
therefore not enumerated.
According to the figures gathered the
amount Of stock grazed under permit dur
ing the year Is over four per cent. great
er than for the previous year, while the
number of permittees using the forests
for pasturage purposes was increased
from 26, sol to O. 1876. The total receipts
by the government from grazing fees for
the twelve months ending June 80, 1919,
were 81, OO7.7aG. and the portion Of this
applied to schools and roads in the states
in which the ma tiOnal forests are situat-
ed is about 1872. 7oS
Grazing is second only to numbering as
principal use of the national forests.
Practically all of the national forests used
extensively for grazing purposes rae
within the eleven states extending east
from the Pacific Coast, known as the
far western group" These states con-
tain, according to latest reports, s. $4,000
cattle. 2,S10,O0O horses and mules, and
27.5 per cent of sheep
1t is estimated that the annual product
of these animals is 800. 900 head OF beef
cattle Of various ages and grades and
5, 900, 900 head of lambs and mutton sheeD
Since the average net meat weight f
Il beef animal is 5l5 pounds. of lamb 81
pounds, and of a sheep So pounds, the
stock grazed on national forests in the
eleven far-western states produce annual
ly about 1855 million pounds of beef and
%l2 million pounds of mutton. In addition.
it is said the. wool growth totals $4,000
600 pounds. hides approximate 800. 900 in
number, and pelts 5000, 900.
This output; according to the forest
service, does not involve any material
sacrifice of forest or watershed protection
or permanent forage productivity on the
national forests. The system of range
management applied by the government
has proved, it is claimed effective and
simple, and the quality and quantity of
the national forage crop is said to be
improving each year.

"The Gear of the House"

There have been several. Mr. Underwood is sin.
ply the latest
The first was Thomas B. Reed-that strong and
resollrceful man, who, upon reaching the speakers
chair and finding that the rules OF the house left
the majority good deal at the mercy of the minor
ity changed the procedure and put the majority in
charge. He held od-fashioned views about legislative
responsibility. So he was dubbed "rhe car of the
house" by the democratic members. He wore the
title confidently and uncomplaningly, and performed
great public service.
The second Charles F. Crsp--a very fair and
excellent man, who, succeeding Car Reed, admins
tered to the republicans the concoction their
leader had devised. He smilingly applied the Reed
rules and gave the majority it's rights or course,
the republicans squirned. Who likes to take his
medicine? Who likes to his goredo Mr..
Crisp, who had come of theatrical stock enjoyed the
comedy hugely.
The third Joseph G. Cannon. He, too,
upon reaching the chair that the path kept
clear for majority rule. He had the ideas about
legislative responsibility that Mr. Reed and Mr.. Crisp
had entertained, and guided by them. Not sarcas-
tic as Mr.. Reed, nor as suave Mr.. Crisp, he yet
was the equal of either in expedting business and
obtaining results
The fourth would have been Champ Clark--who
would have played the part well and successfully
except that the democrats of the Sixtsecond house,
in executing little hugger-mugger the subject,
transferred power from the chair to the floor The
speaker stripped and the toys were added to the
wardrobe of the house leader.
How we'll Mr.. Underwood has worn them all
know He is the ndest hammered that ever
steered the ship throttled minority He makes
progress without hesitation and hears without heed
ing all protests from the helpless. He believes in
majority rule, and knows how to enforce it. He
wants results, and knows how to obtain them A
thoroughly competent leader greatly appreciated by
his followers and much admired by his opponents.
While the storm raging around Car Reed,
two democratic members of the house-one intensely
partisan, the other philosophca-fell to discussing
him. "A tyrant, and should be dragged from the chair
by force!" exclaimed the partisan. "a terrible fell
low" assented the philosopher and then added, dryy

ty Of the attorney general, on COM
plant, to investigate such discrimina-
ton AMI If he finds that its provl-
sions, as above set forth, have been
! violated, he Is empowered TO annul
the charter or revoke the permit or
license of the person, firn or cOrpor-
alton violating its provisions. At tae
request of President Stutsman of the
board of railroad commissioners,
Attorney General Miller furnished an
elaborate and carefully considered
opinion, in which he declares this act
to be constitutional. He holds that
the intent of the party discrimlnat-
ing in prices must govern. That is,
il the independent buyer is the ag-
gressor and bids above the market
price for the purpose OF destroying
, his competitor then the line elevator
| is justifiable in meeting this competl-
ton. If, on the other hand, the line
elevator is the aggressor and bids
more for grain at competitive point,
where there is an independent buyer
tan at competitive point, where
there are only line elevators, then
the provisions Of the act are violat.
ed. d. a, .-
He further holds that it is illegal
for an independent elevator company
to pay to its own stockholders more
per bushel for their grain than to
tOher patrons. 1t is complained tlat
in some cases they pay more to their
stockholders than to their other Gus
toners.
He further holds that the marke'
reports sent out by The so-called
grain trust are advisory only, and
not binding on the subscribing ele
vators. ~ar '.r. - q.
This is an important statute and
the ruling Of the attorney general is
important and far-reaching. AS soon
as formal complaint is made to him
he will proceed under the provisions
of the chapter to investigate some OF
the line companies, whom it is chars-
ed, are seeking to throttle independ-
ent competition, and if he finds that
they have violated the provisions OF
this chapter he will not hesitate to
annul their charters in North DakO-
ia. a..
This means, of course, that if the
courts view this statute in the same
light that it is viewed by Attorney
General Miller, the end has come to
the discrimination of the line elevat-
ors as between competitive and non
points, and that they will
be stopped by the strong arm Of the
law from sitting Independent compe-
tition in order that they may exact
an unreasonable margin of profit |
the entire state. 1t seems
probable, if the law proves to be con-
as Attorney General Mil
Ter holds, that the grip Of the grain
trust in this state may be broken.

The Lincoln Memorial

1t is to be hoped that serious consideration will
be given to the efforts now being shade to undo the
work already done toward the erection here of
memorial to Abraham Lincoln That subject was
before the house and senate for years. 1t was dis.
cussed up and down and all around, from every pos
si5le angle, with all manner Of suggestions for the
form of the memorial and it's location. At last con.
gress decided upon form and a situation and gave
the work of its erectioninto the hands of commits
sion composed of men who have at heart the evolve
;nent of the most suitable and expressive form OF
national tribute to the president. No better
commission could have been named none more COM

Others is to assail the intelligence of congress- If
This subject is reopened by favorable consideration

encountered previously to securing the enactment Of
law to bring the project to it's present stage it is
almost certain that if this matter is reopened by the
canceng of the present legislation another genera
ton will have passed before the physical work OF
creating national expression of esteem for Lincoln
will be undertaken This alone is reason for doing
nothing now to interfere with the project is new
