profitably at the present price, but it
is not true in other sections of the.

I'm Utopia the public industries and

private directors. The one gives force
and power, the other, assurance and
efficiency. Banking, insurance, rail-

OTHERS VOTE A BIG NO: PROVE
ALL THINGS AND HOLD FAST TO
THAT WHICH is GOOD At the cleo
ton in 1920, when amendments will
be submitted in a state pamphlet, with
reasons for and against each amend

the voters to act wisely There will
be plenty of time to consider and to

cxorbitant profit for the valley farm
ers. the excess profits tax will take
care of that, and it, is right that they
should turn over their excess profits
TO- the government. In fixing basis
of profit for the milling industry, the
government did not consider the earn
ing power of the great Pillsbury or
Washburn-Crosby plants, but it en-
deavored to fix price which will give
the smaller mills a reasonable profit.
We are told that the 1919 wheat
acreage must be large. How are we
gong to get it? An increased price is
the one practical method. If the 1918
price as fixed by the president was
falr, what. would be a fair and rea-
sohable price for 1919? If we. are to
nave higher price for 1919 we must
sno what it is warranted by increas-

'es in the cost OF production. II the
price Is to remain the same, then the
price-fiXing authority must prove that
the cost Of production has not in
creased. In 1917 the committee fixed
the price at $3.50. If that was fair in
1917, it is not reasonable for 1919.
We ask for the farmer the same de-
gree Of justice which has been shown
other war industries. Our showing OF
increased costs OF production won

too vague and indefnite its meaning
is not obvious: its limitations are open
to dispute. 1t seems to contemplate
the mOrtgaging of state property and
public utilities when there is no Oc-
casion for state. county or city to
mortgage any OF its property. 1t does
neither describe the bonds to be issued
nor make them a legal tender in pay
ment OF taxes nor exempt them from
taxation. A bonding amendment
should be in words few and precise,
and not subject to any dispute, and so
that its Imprint on bond would make
it as current. as gold or legal tender.
"And, as the purpose OF bonding

great industry and to make it a grand
success, the voters should know the
nature Of the industry and the as
t>BE NO VOTING BLlNDLY OR IN
DARKNESS. . TO MAKE BONDING
PAY A GOOD DIVIDEND, IT MUST
BE DONE WISELY; THERE MUST
BE GOOD MANAGEMENT, A GOOD
ENTERPRISE AND GOOD PUBLIC
SERVICE. Without good service. it
is vain to hope for success in either
a public or private business; and, as
we all know. thus far the state public
service has been very inefficient. Such
service would quickly lead to the
wreck and ruin of any business enter
prise. Hence, before the issuing Of
bonds, it seems that something should
be done to better the public service
so that it may equal in efficiency the
service or any bank of business cor
poration. This point ALL OUR POL
ITICIANS AND STATE OFFICERS
DO IGNORE BECAUSE THEY HAVE
ALL BEEN EQUALLY GUILTY. With
few exceptions, everyone has been
willing to steal his time and to leave
his work undone. The policy Of each
party is to denounce the other to
pound the devil on the back without
attempting to,show how TO better con-
ditiOIls.
Bonds Not Necessary.
Besides. it does not seem at all
necessary for a state, a county or a
city to vote or issue bonds before en-
gaging in any industry. The state
keeps a good deposit account in nearly
every bank in the state; each county,
in every bank Of the county, and each
city, in every bank of the city.
