The preliminary estimate Of crop
production this year indicate that the
aggregate per acre yields Of all crops
will be about 9.4 per cent: larger
than last years yield, about 2.3 per
cent. larger than their l0-year aver
age, but nearly ) per cent smaller
than in 1912, which year stands as
the record for large crop yields. The
early part Of the present season was
rather unfavorablc to crop growth,
the early summer being severely hot
and dry in many state. AS the sea-

improved and the final outturn OF
crops is better than had been fore
cast at any time during the growing
season. The improving tendency Of
the season may be seen from the

action for,the abolition Of poverty be
undertaken at once.
He could force upon the attention
Of the House every day some new
argument, protest or demand bearing
directly upon this one point.
He could, in afew weeks of such
agitation, brighten the party leaders
into holding conferences on the "pov-
erty problem"
He could drive. them, in their fear
of the resentment Of the aroused farm
ers' Organizations, labor unions, social
workers and forWard-looking ciizens
generally, to make platform pledges
on this issue before the campaign
of this year is half through.
He could, in brief, set at work for
humanity such moral forces as have
never been loosed in America, and
marshall them in one splendid fight
ing machine to compel obedience to
the masses at the national capitol.
One brave man in Congress could
today put a new soul into the strug-
gle of the dispossessed.
He could fairly be called a states
man, and a great man.

Want U. S. To Own n
Al! water PoWe!

The following, resolution has been
passed by the National Conservation
Congress:
I. WHEREAS, concentrated monopol-
istic control of water power in pri-
vate hands is swiftly increasing in
the United States, and far more rapi-
dly than public tontrol thereof; and
WHEREAS, This concentrating, if
it is fostered, as in the past, by out
right grants of public. powers in per-
,petuity, will inevitably result in a
highly monopolistic control of mechan
ical power, one. Of the bases of modern
civilization, and q prime factor in
the cost of living; therefore,
Be 1T RESOLVED, That. we recog-
nize the -firmhanda effective control Of
water power corporations In the pub
lie interest;
That we recognize that there Is no
restraint SO. complete, effective, and
permanent as that which comes from

In the course of the campaign the
mayor Of Cleveland was appealed to
for information concerning Cleveland's

wrote.

Our reduced electric rate of cents
per kilowatt hour maximum and 1
cent minimum becomes effective May

cent minimum for power. Two small
municipality owned plants are now in
operation, and large city plant goes
into operation July /. Private COM
panies have appealed to state utilities

One LOne Congressman
Could Abolish Poverty

Washington, June 18.-(Special.) -
Wanted: Socialist Congressman to
make a national issue out of the abol-
Iition of poverty.
IL there were at least one Specialist
Congressman in Washington, he could
do more to make the country and the
powers that be. sit up and take ac-
tive notice than any number of Bull
Moosers, Progressives Of the Demo
cratic or Republican stripe, Or any
Hother kind.
But what could Socialist Congress
maR do? Gould he be of any earthly
vMNe? Would it be worth the time
and energy necessary to get one elect
ed? Here. is the way a Washington
Socialist has doped out what brave
Congressman, at best playing a lone
hand, could do.
What could one brave man in the
House of Representatives do, to make
the Abolition of Poverty an immediate
issue in Congress? II
This is what he could do:
He could introduce resolution call
| ing for the creation of standing COM
mittee on the Abolition Of Poverty.
He could insist upon hearing up
on this proposal before the Rules
Committee.
He could get publicity for his argu-
ment before that committee from thou
sands of newspapers and magazines,
Through the press associations and
special correspondents at the capitol
He could answer the ridicule of the
E44S other members of the House by
presenting the great petitions in be-
nalf Of his ------? which
would come in from all sections of
the country when this plea was pub
Ilished.
| He could force a definite acceptance
or rejection of his measure from the
party spokesman on the Rules Com
mittee.
He could interrupt every speech by
a prominent member of the House with
Questions, the answers to which would
record their willingness to destroy
poverty or their belief that poverty
could not he abolished.
He could publish in the press every
where the nmes and excuses of these
party leaders, with his own views as
Ito the social fleets of poverty.
He could introduce bills providing
flor special commissions of economists
land scientists to report on the best
means Of doing away wit poverty as
Ia social nuisance; he could make his
argument for these bills before House
COMMITTEES so humanity interesting,
land could so -strikngly illustrate it by
presenting living proofs of the eff
fleet of poverty upon children, that
Ievery newspaper in America and Eu-
rope would print the story.
4 He could address an open letter to
1.-THE President of the United States. to
1.-THE chairman of the National Commit
Itee OF. each political party, and to the
Headers of each party In Congress
+ challenging them to declare (a]
whether they believe the abolition Of
poverty within generation to be pos
lsible, fb) whether they desire such
abolition, and (e) what definite legis
Ilative and administrative steps to thai
lend they will initiate and support.
He could then call the attention o.
the people to their replies or their si

the power site;. 90
That is, therefore, the solemn judg-
ment Of the Fifth National Conserva-
ton Congress that hereafter no. wat
er power now owned or controlled
by the public should be sold, granted,
or given away in perpetuity, or in any
manner removed from the public
ownership, which alone can give
sound basis of assured and perma-
nent control in the interest of the
