WHY NOT A. lsoYcoTTa
iFort Dodge Messenger.j


The mayor OF Des Moines has Issued
a proclamation urging boycott of one
week on potatoes. The mayor believes
tEat concerted action on the part Of
the housewives win force spectators
to reduce the price Of the tubers.
Why not a boycott in Fort Dodge
II there are large quantities OF p9ta-
toes being held in storage in this vicin-
ity'a boycott would be the most effect
i've means TO force these potatoes on
the market and lower the price, And
If Fort Dodge is free from potato spec
ulators a boycott would be certain to
lower the price anyway by reducing
the demand
1t would do no harm for everyone t.
go without potatoes for at least a week.
They are not a necessity. Experts say
that in respect to food Galleries, pro-
teids and such--one bushel Of Indian
corn is worth four bushels OF potatoes.
AZ the present market quotations one
bushel Of potatoes costs pretty nearly
as much as four bushels of corn.
There Is much reason upon which to
base the contention that corn is the
most valuable of food grains, the most
valua BILE of all the vegetarian foods.
Potatoes do not possess high food
vslue-they are mostly starch and a
far more nutritious starch is obtained
from corn. More than a score OF pre-
pared food products sold in the grocery
stores are made from corn and they are
all good and. relatively. iow priced.
Boycott the potato. 1t is selling for
many times its relative value as food

AFTER The FlLlBUSTER7

A filibuster is rarely to be approved.
The recent successful operation of
that character in the senate Will meet
general dispproval not only by those
who favor the administration bill Blu;
by those who do not but who object to
a monkeywrench In the cylinder meth.
Cd OF preventing ACTON. Doubtless
there were many congressman and sem
ators who are not wholly displeased
that the session ended as it did and
that they did not have to stand up and
be counted as for or against the de-
mands of the president for added pow
ers than those granted by the house
bill. However the country VIII be dis
satisfied with procedure which
blocks o vote by the f-Ebustering of
few and while there are many who
desire refusal Of the presidents ulti-
mate demands for power those who
approve OF a fiiibuster spoke in the
wheels will be very much in a minor
ity.
The president, however, has his rem
coy at hand. He can call a session of
congress at once il he sees fit to do so
and pass his bill II congress sees Al
TO accede TO his demands. II would
be much better plan than the pro-
posed assumption of the powers and
whether 1t won or lost would leave the
administration in a better position
with congress and the people. Indeed
the country would feel safer with con-
Sress IN session for it IS not anxious

hands for a cast that may mean so
much. The president should also feel
safer sharing the responsibility with
congress. Each needs the other and
the country needs the combined wis
dom of both.

George washington. OF whom we
have been recently reminded, served
two terms as president of the United
States and then quit with pleased
look. Other presidents have served
two terms and would have held on
for two more II precedent and the
cold, heartless Australian ballot had
not interfered.
George Washington was tall. blunt
man who was not afraid OF anything
except postoffice petition. and II 1t
had not been for the tinwearied office
seeker his life in the presidency would
have been without a care. In early life
he contracted positive dislike for the
utrwa shed red man who at that time
was running around loose In violent
state OF alcoholism and negligee, and
for several years he devoted his entire
time to removing as many as possible
from the surrounding scenery.
When the Thirteen Colonies decided
TO crawl out from under the British
yoke which had become harder to
wear In comfort than fraZzled wing
collar, there was unanimous request
that George Washington be put at the
head Of the militia, which were sadly
in need OF military training and under
clothes. 1t was largely owing to his
energy and picturesque vocabulary
that the Continental army was able to
stand UP against the British regulars.

satisfied look. People living in Eng

ton at the time, but they ceased do
ing so when the militia clamped the
scissors hold on Lord Cornwallis.

600 of them might raise SIS worth Of
vegetables worth Il total of s75e,000,0 600.
He would hire 10000 teachers and d.
rectors at cost of 100000 600 and get

The doctor hasn't found anything
particularly new except the specfica-
tons of his plan inclusive of the 10000
teachers. There wouldn't be much
trouble finding 10000 persons ready to
| take chance on teaching the children
to garden at $500 a throw. The trouble
would be to get the children and keep
them Or. Claxton isn't dealing with
the children in the final show down
but with the parents. Plans OF this
nature fail. not thru the idle boys and
girls but because of the indifference
of their parents and guardians. The
parents who refuse or neglect to find
such employment for their children for
their own sakes and the welfare of the
children are not likely to form solid
phalanx of industrial propulsion behind
his scheme. None the less the doctors
figures are probably very close to what
might be done.
Bringing the scheme down to the in
dvidual family il would have been ex-
remely feasible for healthy hoy to
have raised SIS worth OF vegetables last
summer after school and at odd times.

IOWA SENATORS AND THE MANIFESTO.

two Iowa senators who refused to sign

newspapers favoring war Senator's
Kenyon and Cummins viii be fercely
attacked for their refusal TO assist IN
putting on administration pressure. No
doubt their critics will attempt to
convey the impression that the Iowa
senators were fillbusters. How they
would have voted Is not Of record but
1t is indicated that they would vote
as they talk against comforting con
gressjonal powers, but that "a a very
different thing from a filibuster. There
were many other senator's who hold
opinions In line with those of the Iowa
senator's.
Moreover, we in Iowa and the mid
die west should not be carried off our
feet by the clamor that will be raised
against the Iowa senators. It is well
to remind ourselves that these are
men whom We have gladly intrusted

A.nNE MAN ROAD Pill.


The most talked-up feature OF the
reactionary road bill now before the
general assembly, and the one upon
which its supporters seem TO rely as
possessing much virtue. Is the fact that
the membership OF the state highway
commission Is to be reduced from three
persons to one person. This seems TO
us ridiculous. In order to make tho
argument stick at all, you must assume
that the one commissioner proposed
will be a man superior in ability or in
honesty or In diligence to any and all
OF the thhTTee commissioners now serV-
ing, and nobody can guarantee any
such thing, and nobody pretenas to
guarantee It. SO far as cost is con-
cerned the one man is to receive sal
airy Of $4,000 per year, whereas the
three now serving receive a combined
salary for all OF only $4,000. 1t would
be Just as sensible to propose to the
people Of Greene county to do away
with the system of a county board OF
FIVE supervisors, and have just one su-
pervisor. for no other reason than to
have a change from the present plan.

even that he will be renominated by

bill into law in its present form would
be a public calamity an irrepara Bile
injury to the cause Of good roads in

splendid progress has been made in
road construction under the direction
Of the highway commission, and it de-
clares that not one good reason for

the question could be separated from

the Johnston bill would not get many
votes.
"Carranza may have been foolish
enough to give a little thought to the

quickly to reject II. There is nothing
to indicate that Toxic did more than
laugh at 1t. There were several rea-
sons why one would like TO absolve
