The citizen-Republican. (Scotland, Bon Homme County, S.D.) 1???-19??, 1918-10-03

Some of the political speakers are
urging the voters to support the a
mendments to the state constitution,
so that the state may engage in the
various industries. not that the state
could do things better than individu-
ais, but the cost to the consumer
would be less, and employment would
be furnished to the men of the state
and to thousands Of soldiers when they
return from oversee.
We apprehend that the average vot-
er would demand little evidence to
prove that the cost would be less if
articles were produced by state institu-
tions. The general rule is that state
production costs more than individual
production. The only exception might
be the production Of twine at the pen
itentiary, hut. this could hardly apply
to all industries, as we haven't con-
victs to supply labor FOE all of our
institutions. We are just now hav-
ing experience with government oper-
alton in our railroad and express SER
vice. Our service costs US more. and
yet the revenues are far short of be-
ing adequate to pay expenses. We
cheerfully submit to the disadvantages
because it is war measure. and the
government needs better control over
the railroads than it could exercise
under individual management, but
from an economic standpoint the ex-
pertinent has not so far been sue
cess. However, there are many ar
guments in favor of government own.
ership. Of railroads that wo1ld not
apply to the general run of industries,
as the railroads are in sense public
institutions and largely nom competi-
tive.
The chief objection to these social
istic plans is that the principle is
fundamentally wrong. The supremacy
of America over, most other nations
may largely be attributed to our de-
velopment Of individuality in our cit
liens. Our plan has been to make
opportunities equal to all as far as
possible, and encourage every citizen
to make the most Of these opportuni.
ties. with the sky the limit. Under
that policy we have developed a citi-
zenship that has no superiors for in
dustry. self reliance or individuality.
The state is the creature Of the indi-
viduals, but under socialism the indi-
vidual becomes the creature of the
state, and his individuality is merged
!; into the mass.
The war is giving us an opportunity
to compare the efficiency of soldiers
trained in the school of self reliance
with those who have been trained to
rely upon the state for protection and
support We frequently read of sim
gle American soldiers bringing in a
! dozen o. more German csptives. Have

WASHINGTON. June 20. - With
Only four legislative days remaining
before the opening OF the new fiscal
year. seven important appropriation
bills. carrying cve- S20.0OO.O0O.O 600
today awaited final action by con-
gress.
The 12.0O0. 100000 army appro-
priation bill. the fortiications bill
and the emergency food production
act are still before the senate and
have not vet been sent TO confer
ence. The naval appropriation bill,
the postoffice bill are all hung up
in conference
The failure Of congress TO place
any one OF these bills before the
president for his signature before
Saturday night would compel the
passage Of emergency resolutions TO
permit continued operation of the
department affected until the meas
ure could be enacted into law.
Many Questions Of Import.
Involved in the seven appropria-
ton bills still delayed are many
questions of national and local inn
port. not the least OF which is war
time prohibition During the re-
naming days the two houses must
strike an even Iivelier gait than that
OF yesterday when the senate passed
tho $4,000. 0O0. 900 sundrv civil bill
i'm an hour and n half and the house
approved the 5000. 900 fortifca-
lions bill at one sitting.
Both the senate and the house
seized the opportunity presented i'm
the army appropriation bill 10 tack
on tag ends OF minor military legis-
latiou that had been crowded out
all season. This fact presents no
special difficulties. but the FAN and
France amendments broadening the
draft ages. which now are before
the senate for action. have created
a situation that may make passage
OF the bill i'm the remaining four
DAYS impossible.
No Difficulties With some.
The only appropriation bills still
unenacted over which there are no
serious difficulties between the two
houses are the fortifcations bill and
the civil sundry bill. The first should
be pa ssed by the senate as soon as
50 is called up and approval of the
conference report on the second

These are the bills over which
controversy is expected: the asricul-
