Recent reports brought in by farm

AUSTRALIAN STATE
MARKET SUCCESS
Practically Entire Nonpartisan
League Program Is Being
Put Into Effect.

That the ownership planks of the
Nonpartisan League platform are not
impractical and visionary" is very
strikingly shown in a recent letter
to American newspapers from the
pen 'of an Australian newspaper cor.
respondent, w. Francis Ahern.
A workers and farmers. admins.
tration went into power at Queens
land. Australia, in 1915. 1t immedi-
ately adopted, according to Mr.. Ahern
policy of state ownership covering
practically the same field covered by
the Nonpartisan League platform
that is state ownership of the facili-
ties for finishing raw farm products
for the market and of facilities con-
cerned with wholesale marketing.
Mr.. Ahern does not pretend to
name all the things operated by the
state but the list he mentions looks
like a paragraph out of the Nonpar-
tisan League platform. 1t includes
terminal elevators, stock yards,
slaughter houses. packing plants, and
even butcher shops. State banks and
state insurance also are in operation.
Concerning the success Of state
marketing in Australia Mr.. Ahern
writes: "The Queensland state in.
dustries show profit of s25O,OO0 on
all undertakings, although the state
had no intention of making profit at
all, but Of running the industries in
the interest Of the public"
In establishing these industries the
government moved with great eau
tion, building them up slowly, step
by step. according to Mr.. Ahern. He
says, Exhaustive inquiry has preced.
ed each enterprise, and wherever
practically each initial operation has
been based on small scale in or

mfnistration to be shaped according
to the governments own experiences"

So it was that Sir John A. Macdonald,
the founder of the Canadian Confedera-
ton, established the Northwest Mounted
Police. That life and property were safe
in the pioneer days of the Canadian West,
that serious crime was of infrequent oe-
eurrence, that Canadian Indians made lit
tie trouble for the settlers, that law was
respected in those early days of the coun-
try, was due to the work of the little band
of redcoats.
At first they were were only $50 strong;
for a short period they had slightly more
than 1000 men; but for the greater part
of their history they numbered less than
600 men. The State of Montana is i'm

about the same number of Indians, be-
