ont an opposing vote. With such q
unanimity of sentiment it is strange
that it took 81 years to discover that
the children of Iowa were being finn
flammed. The House Schools and Text
books committee have commended for
passage q bill by Weaver, Of Polk,
making federal aid for vocation school
work available in Iowa. For the first
year the state appropriation would be
so, 900.
SENATOR WILSON HAS A NEW IDEA.
Under our state constitution it
becomes necessary to hold referendum
vote every ten years to determine
whether or not the people of the state
desire the holding Of convention to
revise the constitution. In 1920 this
matter must be submitted and along
with it Senator Wilson from the
Appanoose- Davis district proposes that
. constitutional amendment be sub.
mitted providing that the law making
body consist cf only one branch instead
of the house and senate % at present.
The senator figures that . smaller mem.
bership more centralized will perform
more wholesome legislation than the
way matters are now conducted.
MORE ROOM NEEDED IN
STATE HOUSE.
Representative Moore, of Guthrie,
has introduced q bill in the house sppro-
priating over a term of years fund of
q million and half dollars for the erec-
tion of memorial building which will
serve as an abiding place for the
supreme court, the railway commits
sioners and the commerce council. Sem
stor Kimball has introduced q similar
bill in the senate.

APPLY THE BRAKES.

1t is up to everybody to give thought
and endeavor to slowing up the ad-
vancing cost of living. Aid can be
given by other ways than denunciation
Of profiteers. The kettle is calling
the pot black. but many persons are
to be blamed who are not profiteers.
Not all dealers, manufacturers or
labor unions are unjust. Some are but
bricks in row, which when pushed
press back upon the next.
There are, of course, many who
raise prices simply on the theory that
as labor is paid more dollars for a
less number of hours and for less
production, therefore, labor can give
up more money. And there be labor
elements that hold that as employers
or dealers get more for commodities
or are making more profit, greater
compensation must be paid. And so
the game goes on. with each player
raising the other again and again to
an uncertain finish
There was much practical counsel
published curing the war, for economy
in business and in living, which seems
to have been forgotten as soon as
the conflict ended and Washington
boards began urging the people to buy
lavishly to make business good. that
labor might be employed.

TURKISH PROFITEERS.


In Constantinople last February
the price of flour had jumped from
the governments buying price of 3 u
piastres (about Is cents) per 2B
pounds to selling price Of 800 piastres
(about $1.32). Bread was being sold
on the streets at as many as six
booths to a single block. Not only
was the Ottoman government specu-
lating, but also every street urchin
who had money and enterprise enough
to buy half a dozen loaVes and hawk
them on the pavement was speculat-
ing in bread.
Then the American relief admin
istratons flour ship anchored in the
Bosporus.
The effect was instantaneous. The
wholesalers took fright. Local flour
dropped so per cent. Presently the
, street stalls went out of the bread
business and instead entered the more
reputable line of selling to British
Tommies Turkish antiquities made in
Germany. And the Turkish hamal,
or street porter. could dine off his
white loaf of American bread at a
moderate cost and without wonder
ing whether its ingredients would kill
him before morning.

AIRPLANES CARRY FOOD.


Over the same air routes where
once allied planes went to battle witt
the Germans airplanes are now carry
ing food and clothing to the de-
vastated villages of northern France.
No other means of transportation TO
many of these villages is open. for
not only are the railroad destroyed,
but for miles the roads have been so
cut to pieces that motors cannot pass
over them. Hf.
The aerialerelief service began Jan.
%, 1919. when seven planes. loaded
with condensed milk for the children
flew from Bourget to Valenciennes.
The next day more than two tens of
food and clothing were carried
through the air to devastated villages.
More planes, including two boches
escadrilles, have been added. which
every day carry tons of provisions 70
villages in need.

One thing that brings Leonard
Wood conspicuously before the coun-

that he was the closest personal friend

the same time, it is known that Wood
never ceased to be a regular re-
publican, of the New Hampshire type.
But General Wood never has an.
nounced himself as candidate for the
presidency. He never has authorized
anyone else to make such announce

GENERAL LEONARD WOOD.

The state of New Mexico has be-

General Leonard Wood. Two other

Pershing and Barnett to- receive them.
There is talk that General Wood
will be a candidate for the presidency.
That may or may not be true, but
the honors conferred upon him by
the war department and by the state
of New Mexico have nothing to do
with such candidacy.
