wide drive to reorganize the telephone

CHURCHILL SPEAks:oUT;;
ENGLAND TO own ROADS

LONDON, England, Jan. 31.-Win-
ston Churchill, minister of munitions,
has announced the governments pol
icy to nationalize Briton railroads and
gives reasons for the proposed step.
THE three great parents Of eoun-
try's welfare" he said, ARE land, COM
munications and power,kand the three
children are food, housing and manu-
sfacture.+*: So long az >th44srailwaya, are
in private hands, they may be used
for immediate profit. In the hands
of the state, however, it might be
wise or expedient to run them at q
loss, if they develop industry, placing
the trader in closer contact with his
market and stimulate development"

and from various labor agencies One
which to frame legislation. While the
Secretary of War has issued the state
ment that men may stay lin the army
pending the obtaining of work, Mr..
Morrison says that few will take ad-
vantage of that position, because not
only is the desire strong to get back
home, but men are anxious to get
pack into work, now that there is no
apparent future in military life.
Moreover some of the soldiers and
sailors who are already out Of the
service and who have been disappoint-
ed in finding employment promptly,
Ire placed in an unfortunate position,
which is being brought to the atten-
ion Of Congress. Senator Chamber
ain last week presented the case Of
thousands of men in the state of Ore
;on who had been engaged in the pro-
iuction of spruce under the direction
IF the War Department, or in the
building of ships under the Emerg-
,ncy Fleet Corporation, and who, by
he sudden cancellation of contracts,
lad been thrown out of work. Simi-
ar reports come from other states.
Rest OIL Their Oars.
Congress has been SLOW to take ac-
ton which will effectively meet the
situation of unemployment, partly be-
;ause it has had to gather facts from
widely scattered sources. 1t had been
expected that the individual states,
which had a more intimate acquaint-
.nce with the needs of their localities,
would be more prompt in doing some-
hing to meet the emergency, espe-
;ially as there existed in them the
machinery of the Council Of National
Defense, through which something
night be done, but the states also
lave waited.
Appropriations for public works
Lave not been large. Private enter
rise is marking time, waiting on the
,eace conference waiting on the pos
lble fall of prices in raYt~materials,
nd, while hardly spoken out loud,
Waiting on the possible lowering of
yages, the very things that organized
ss.Jbr is seeking to avert.
The United States Employment Ser
ice of the Department of Labor has
,een combing the country to find jobs
or men, and it has been successful
some extent. Its main function,
lowever, is one of assisting readjust-
aent, and it is of little use in Great
ng work.
One of the elements brought out in
he discussion over the appropriation
$1OO,O0O,000 for food relief in
Europe was the underlying feeling on
he part of senators that it was as
ecessary that something be done for
he relief Of America as for that OF
Europe. Senator Knox, who voted for
he appropriation in. spite of misgiv-
1gs said that his difficulty in arriv-
-1g at this decision had been increased
v grave anxiety in regard to unem-
loyment in our own country, which
is our first duty to prevent.
Many persons believe that similar
ort of appeal to that which brought
1e country into line for war will have
4, be taken to get it into line for peace
reduction.

People Can DO 1t. -.
It merely takes a legislative enact
ment and vote of the people on the
proposition to land the whole state, in
the fire insurance business. -."Self
preservation is the first law of nature"
II &priYate companies do not want to
assume the hazardous fire risks with
the risks OF minimum hazard, the
people are left no alternative but to
go into the business for themselves.
The state is primarily interested in
the development of its agricultural
lands. Settlers must be ENCOURAGED.
They run all sorts of risks, from frosts,
from forest fires, from drouths and
deluges. Business looks forward to
their success, for their prosperity is
reflected in the prosperity of the cities.
When they improve the land and
erect buildings thereon, all values ad-
vance and the income Of the state is
increased. These and more advan-
tages come to the people through the
settlement of our land.
Must Protect Settlers.
/ Now while the settlers are willing to
take the labor risks, they should not
be expected to assume the fire risks,
and if private companies do not care
to insure their property the state
should find a way to do it for them.
Settlement on lands in ~northern Min
nesota depends as much on insurance
protection as it does upon advan-,
tageQus opportunities afforded to the
settlers.
Then there is another phase of the
question. The cities are being taxed
heavily to maintain expensive fire de-
partments. We have M otor equipment
in place Of horse drawn fire vehicles
which reach the scene of fire in
exceedingly short time, so quickly that
a fire has little chance now. We have
reduced the risk to minimum, and
in spite of this the insurance COM
panies are exacting from city prop
erty owners the same old rates that
obtained in the days when we were
not so we'll equipped to extinquish
fire quickly.
Fire Risk Spread Over.
Few Of us complained about the
fact that the rates had not been re-
duced here because it was felt that
the fire risk was spread over a wide
territory, to communities that did not
enjoy the protection .cof the city; and
for this s'nreason our. reduced hazard
would be Offset by: the greater hazard
in non-protected rural communities.
The fire risk in the towns and cities
Of st. Louis county is less than in any
other county In the country. The
splendid equipment to- fight fires that
they have in all the range towns and
in Duluth is unexcelled anywhere. In
Hibbing alone last year: the loss from
fire was but $14 ,0O0.-.. ss=-ss: ~ =.
Such a confagration as we had in
northeastern Minnesota last fall can
never happen again, because The ma
terial that fed the fire has been for
ever destroyed When the :errit ory is
again built up there will be no dead
fall or other fire feeding material to
permit such q fire to take place. On
