SO many Of our people 20 south or
southwest in the winter n 10 the
northern lakes in the summer that We
cannot count upon our normal popula-
ton being up to it's highest limit ex
cept during a few months in the spring
and in the fall. TO offset these semi
annual temporary losses by reason OF
migrations to other climes why not adj
vertise Brookings as an admirable win
ter resort for people who live in the
Hudson Bay attitude and a summer re-
sort for Texas and Florida people. In
this way We might get back some
equivalent for the money that We con
tribute annually to the keeping up of
other resorts.
We often hear Australia and New
Zealand quoted as being examples of
what is best in new governmental
ideas. A late number Of a prominent
magazine has an illuminative article
on the subject lonely Australia"
With a population less than New York
City, scattered over an area about the
size of the United States, the public
debt amounted to 1854 per capita, be-
fore the beginning OF the European
war. The total indebtedness of the
six Australian states is disproportion-
ate to the population and demand in
terest charges not easily met. Some
five million people are s~houldering a
debt a half billion larger than our own
national debt. They have paternal
government over there with vengeance.
To an Australian, the Federal, State
and City governments are not %organiza-
tons designed primarily to preserve
order and protect property and main
tain civic rights; they exist in order to
do the peoples business and have no
apparent limitations. The author OF
the article says that Action by Parlia-
ment is the cure-all for public and pri-
vate ills. The State operates railroads,
street cars, ferry-boats, water works,
electric light plants; fixes prices and
hours of labor and wages; makes
clothes and machinery; run ware
houses; exports wines; supplies seed
wheat; builds fences and roads; dies
wells; provides insurance; pays hos
pital bills; loans money to individuals;
plants" Perhaps some Of our am
bilious lawmakers have been studying
Australia and want to pattern after
istic ideas. We shall watch results in
our sister state on the north.

The democrats who were politically
pie-counter hungry during forty odd
years ought to be able to suggest a
way out during these times OF high
priced living. And they should be
ably seconded by the crowd who lost
out when Wilson was elected in 1912.
Therefore. it should be unanimous.

The allies are sore because Wilson
refuses to act as their cheer leader and
the Central Powers hold a grudge
against him for not stopping the ship
ment OF war supplies. It Is hard TO
please a bunch of fellows who are
throwing bricks at one another. The
outsider is hated because he refuses
to come in and get hit.

 WASHINGTON, D. C.-The contin- ued scarcity of merchant bottoms in which to transport coal to the Orient for use of the navy and the conse- quent high offers of ship owners to undertake this service has caused the navy department to maintain the policy adopted last year in utilizing naval colliers h keeping the Asiatic fleet supplied and in replenishing the coaling stations on the Philippine and Hawaiian Islands and on the Pacific coast of the United States. Although tho latter service was interrupted 10 some extent by slides in the Panama canal which resulted in the necessity iii shipping by rail across the contin- ent 5o.O00 tons of coal for the stations at Tiburon and San Diego.
