JOBS FOR ALL THE FAITHFUL.

If there is an able-bodied Democrat
without a string on the public's purse
by the time the Wilson administr a
ton is ready to close it's career, it
won't be because the president and his
advisers didn't do their very hes. to
provide the ways and means for all
the faithful to tap the federal till.
They are now planning another COM
mission, this one to be known as the
national marketing commission, which
is to devise a better system for the
distribution of agricultural products
There is tremendous room for inn
provement in this field of endeavor
to be sure. But it is questionable
whether or not the meddling of
government commission will point the
way to the desired end. A solution
of the marketing problem of farm
products probably rests on the extent
to which the producers are willing
to cooperate for the distribution OF
their wares, and the intelligence with
which they effect their cooperative
organizations for this purpose. Not a
few groups of producers in this conn
try are doing mighty well along this
line already.

mLUsoRY WAR INDENrN1rrEs.

The proposed demands for immense
war indemnities are not likely to bear
fruit, thinks The New Republic.
There is no possibility it argues, "of
exacting from a conquered nation an
indemnity in excess of the amount
that can be raised at once through
taxation or through. a domestic loan,
unless the conqueror is prepared at
any time to fight the war over again,

ward reputation. The only way to
collect ten billions from Germany and
Austria would be to maintain a mill
tary occupation OF those countries
through ten years at least, and under
a military occupation it is doubtful

Co-opERATIvE ELEVATORS.

| Up in the province of Alberta, can
ada, the farmers are cooperating on
scale of large dimensions and with
proportionate profits to themselves
According to a report from Mr.. Reat'
the United States consul at Calgary
| the Alberta Farmers Cooperative
Elevator company, incorporated by a
special act of the Alberta Legislature
in March, 1913, has just completed
it's second years business. Since its
organization it has purchased or erect
ed IS elevators in different parts of
Alberta and has engaged in other com
mercial undertakings. The approx
mate value of the property of this CO.
operative company is $745, 900, being
represented by elevator buildings, ma
chinery, and material on hand for
1915 construction. This is covered by
subscriptions of stock in the company
by nearly 10000 farmers residing
within the province. The company
received a loan from the provincial
government of Alberta of $685. 900,
secured by first mortgage upon ele-
vators and machinery, repayable in
20 equal annual installments of prin-
ciple and interest The first year the
company handled 3,774,396 bushels of
grain, with a profit of $17,216, and
the amount OF grain handled Since
June, 1914, up to the present time is
nearly 100000 bushels, with profits
approximately $4,000. Besides the
grain business, such commodities as
flour, feed, coal. hay, fruit. lumber,
wire, binder Irvine, and posts now
comprise a part of the business of the
expanding cooperative system. The
supplies to the farmers are furnished
on a basis of cost with 10 per cent
added. The new stock department
opened in April, 1914, furnished
market for $4,000 head of hogs in the
Calgary and Edmonton districts. Ow-
ing to financial conditions generally
and the poor crop in Alberta last year,
the company has not planned very
large construction program for 1915,
but it is stated that from 6 to 10 ele-
vators will be constructed this year.

BUSINESS is MOVING AHEAD.

LAS the business world adjusted
itself to new conditions" writes Henry
Clews, the New York banker, concern
ling the renewed and rather unusual
activity the stock exchange, "as the
final outcome of the colossal struggle
in Europe became more apparent, as
fear disappeared and calm judgment
realized this side of the Atlantic
the worst of the storm was over, con-
fidence began to assert itself more and
moro freely until at last it developed
into a surprising outburst of specula-
ton. This characteristic rebound
from extreme depression to extraor-
binary buoyancy may seem remark
able, but is only in accordance with
precedent, since one extreme invaria-
bly, follows another in due course of
time. Recent developments connected
with the war really started the present
rise. The frightful waste of life and
wealth which is still going on must of
course have permanently injurious
effect upon the social and economic
welfare of the world at large. Never
theless. there is a sense of relief that
the end is now foreshadowed; and the
dawn of peace naturally imparts new
life, new hope and fresh confidence.

DERIVING improvement at home is the
changed political attitude toward big
business. Radicalism has received a
severe check in the United States. At
one time it conspicuously discouraged
enterprise and interfered with legiti-
mate business, thus proving one of the
most prolific sources of empty dinner
pals. President Wilson wisely called
a halt on these tendencies, and the re-
suit is already beneficial. Had it not
been for the war, there is no doubt
that this country would TODAY have
been enjoying a period of marked re-
cuperation and prosperity. The next
important source of improvement,
also comparatively silent one, is the
