hours and wages, as shall enable the
farmer to run his business exactly as
does the manufacturer of every other
commodity-selling prices to be based
upon the cost of production, plus such
reasonable margin as shall provide
for depreciation of equipment, for in
terest on investment and for a fair
profit over all.
IF all the money spent in the last
25 years in the United States for pro-
paganda work, in the name of agricul-
ture, had been devoted to building
good roads between the farm and its
market town, to extending rural mail
services to thousands of more farm
homes, to thousands of more reliable
crop reports for the present worthless
and misleading guesswork, we might
have gotten somewhere on the "high
cost of living" problem, so called.
One of the imperative necessities
of today is an emphasis upon the sa-
cred rights of property, as opposed to
the wild orgy of radicalism, national
ization and anarchy, which is sweep
ing the land and threatening to de-
stroy every industry, every farm and
and every home That there can be
no other end to present tendencies, if
they remain unchecked, might as well
be faced first as last, and there
should be no further trifing in the
matter.
The right to individual property
ownership, honestly accumulated and
legitimately conserved, has always
been a fundamental American prin-
ciple. That principle is now being
savagely attacked from a variety of
angles, and it seems incredible tn t
the American people as a whole have
NOT vet awakened to this supreme
danger. which underlies all the u
Eeavals we are now witnessing in
this country.

"BE AMERICANS TOGETHER"
FARMERS MESSAGE TO LABOR

The National grange, the great far
mers' organization of the United
States, in session at Grand Rapids,
Mich, last week, declined an invita-
ton from President Samuel Gompers
of the American Federation of Labor
to join in a conference to be held I'M
der the auspices of the federation at
Washington, Dec. IS, with a view to
furthering the program of enforcing a
program of shorter hours for labor in
all essential industries. The grange
took the stand that the present need
of the nation was NOT EASIER
HOURS but MORE WORK and pro-
duction, with the matter of wages a
secondary issue.
The worthy master of the National
grange of the United States presid-
ing over the convention which took
this action was Oliver Wilson. His
views as the head of the most import
ant organization in this country rep
resenting farm production are of time
~ interest.

BY OLIVER WILSON.

Past Worthy Master, Natl. Grange
The greatest need of American ag-
1iculture from now on is neither fur
ther subsidies, patronizing nor cup
lifting; not further campaigns of in
vestigation, literature or other super
fetal or useless camoufaging, all
costing great sums of money, employ
ing an army of nonproducers at the
expense of the public treasury, and
all getting us nowhere.
The time has come to simply elias
sify agriculture as one of the vital
industries that make up our economic
structure, and so to treat it. This
means such an adjustment of prices
for farm products, such recognition
of production costs, such scale of

San Francisco. Feb. 19.-There

careful attention by the slogan edi-

FILM HOUNDS

The Edith Cavell case is now hav-
ing a great run in moving pictures
How would you feel about it if Edith
Cavell was your sister? Wouldn't
you feel that the film hounds had
gone a little beyond the limit in
capitalizing the death of this girl
who was so brutally murdered by
the Huns? The war is now over and
depicting the bloody scenes of Miss
Cavell's murder is no longer needed
to fire the blood of soldiers-it can
accomplish no good, even though 1t
satisfy morbid curiosity. Is it pos
sible that film managers will yet
reach that point where the camera
man will take death-bed scenes
while your parents pass away and
flash them on the screen, to draw a
crowd, or show the contortions OF
the man who is hanged as he writhes
in agony while the breath wheezes
from his body? The film makers
had best stick to fiction, for the rea-
son that they do not seem to know
where to draw the line.

THE PEACE LEAGUE

The PEACE LEaGtE
Former President Taft in his short
speech in Grants Pass yesterday left
no doubt in the minds of his hearers
that, should the league of nations be
formed, the nation that broke faith
with the others and insisted upon
declaring war would at once become
somewhat helpless-an outcast that
had no one to turn to for assistance,
Mr.. Taft is heart and soul in IA
vor OF the peace league for, in fact,
he was the first man to propose such
an organization few years ago. He
stated that while he will no doubt
always remain republican and Mr..
Wilson always remain a democrat,
that fact will not in the least keep
him from supporting the presidents
plan for attempting to preserve
world peace. To him it is not a ques-
tion of politics and he asks people
Of all political parties to seriously
think the matter over and see if they
do not come to the conclusion he
himself has reached. He asserted
that the covenant for peace was the
biggest political move that has ever
been attempted and told his hearers
that the peace league was far from
being pink tea affair, for the rea-
son that the league would be COM
posed Of the most powerful nations
on earth, and 1t could bite, and
swat the offending enemy in the eye,
II they got chesty.
Offending nations, said Mr.. Taft,
would be outlayed- and any monies
due the outlaw would be retained by
the league, who would sort of hold
It in trust for the recalcitrant until
1t came to its senses. Each country
a member OF the league would be
called upon to- furnish certain num-
Der Of troops ready for service and
in case of conflict all the other mem
bers would make immediate war up
on the nation that broke faith. It
is stated that one OF the terms is
that no nation shall commence war
without giving three months notice.
Perhaps it is though that by the end
Of three months any nation that had
grudge at another nation would
have time to cool off and quit seeing
red.
Mr.. Taft did not touch upon the
possibility that two or more OF the
most powerful nations might break
away from the agreement at the
same time, in which. case there might
result an equal division of power
but that risk will have to be CHANGED
The league of nations, apparently
is the biggest thing to strive for
providing the United States is NOT
entangled in too much red tape and
called upon to police the whole
world, or is pledged to lower the
bars for free importation Of goods
and materials from all nations. Blu,
the people are not yet in position tc
form a positive opinion to the cove
nant for the reason that they are IL
the dark SO far as the full terms o.
the agreement are concerned, ant
must await until the president come,
home and explains the matter ant
invites the daily press to carry, un

Rehabilitation No Longer
Waits on Compensation

Washington, Aug. 19.-since the
amendment to the Vocational Re-
habilitation Act was passed in July,
compensability as a prerequisite to
vocational retraining has been elimi-
mated in the case of disabled men
unable to follow their old trade, and
the Federal Board for Vocational
Education has the power and the
responsibility to determine the dis
charged soldiers right to the ben
efits of this law. This relieves the
delay which formerly was unavoid-
able, in placing disabled men in
courses of training.
Under the law second class of
men, those whose disabilities are not
such as to prevent their return to
their former occupation, or to take
up new one, but who desire a
course for improvement in the old
trade or for some better trade, to
such men the board is permitted bv
the law to give free instruction. but
no subsistence is allowed. In such
cases the Bureau of War Risk must
declare the men compensate be-
fore training is granted.

put 1t cannot be expected to move
very swiftly since the newcomers
must take some time to become ac-

Already one new minister, an un-
der secretary, a political director
and a personal reporter have under
taken their new duties at the For
eign office.
The system will be altered so that
one individual will control all re-
whereas now political. commercial
and new relations were handled
separately.
There are about fifty diplomatic
posts to be filled besides countless
legation and consular positions.
The rank which diplomats abroad
Will take is still uncertain and il
is considered probable that many
countries will appoint charges d.
aHalres, an example which Ger
many must follow.
