Profit by Others Experience

AS a start, complete control of the
state government of Washington in
1920 is proposed in plan outlined by
the triple alliance" A convention is
to be held in Seattle in January, 1920
to bring together the radicals of all
types into one compact political or
ganization.
The l. w. W, the Non-Partisan
league and the labor Bolskevists will
be in control and the legislative pro-
gram adopted will undoubtedly be in
favor of destruction of private proper
ty and individual property rights for
state socialism is the goal of the
triple alliance"
This movement is merely an extern
sion of the North Dakota socialistic
experiment with the latest radical pro-
gram added to it.
The danger lies in the organization
of the radicals more than in tkcir num-
bers.
Sane laboring men and conservative
farmers will not join the movement
but they are unorganized, herce the
danger.
North Dakota received a sad lesson
by allowing radicalism to secure con-
troll of the state. Other western states
can profit by her experience.

Cold Storage and High Prices

Congressman Edwin ID. Ricketts,, of
Ohio, has compiled some startling
statistics regarding the food situation
in the United States that should be
brought to the attention Of every citi-
zen who is concerned over the high
cost Of living. Figures showing the
quantities of various kinds Of food
now held in storage, as compared with
similar data for "a corresponding date
last year are included in Mr.. Ricketts,
tabulationS. He also shows the pro
fits made by the big packing firms in
recent years. The Congressman has
utilized his figures in support of an
argument for legislation that will pre-
vent the utilization Of cold storage
warehouses for purposes of price in
fation. II you want to read some
authoritative facts regarding our pre-
sent food supply send to Mr.. Ricketts,
for a copy of his speech.

Failure of Government Operation

Advocates Of government operation
and ownership Of utilities and indust-
ries no longer point to the mail serv-
ice.
The fact is, postal inefficiency from
highest authority down has been a sill
ent advertising force against public
ownership.
Deliveries local and national have
slowed up. services and coll ,ctions have
been reduced in many cities, and work
doubled
A member Of the national associa-
tion Of letter carriers says: 1--WE blame
TO one" said Mr. st. John. mo one
is to blame for conditions. But Con-
gress must act soon to increase wages
or the postal service will go to pieces
entirely"
Lack OF living wage to hold the ex-
perienced men, or even a wage suffic-
lent to tempt new men TO learn the
business, is given as the reason for
poor mail service.
Whatever the cause the Socialists nc
longer argue for the "postalization'
Of any industry or branch of public
service.

NEWS FROM WASHINGTON
Light Turned on Shipping Board

Messrs. Walsh of Massachusetts,
Kelley Of Michigan, Hadley of Wash
ington, and Foster of Ohio, have been
selected by the Speaker as the four
Republican members of a special COM
mittee of six Congressman who will
conduct an investigation of the Ship
ping Board. None of the men is chair
man of one of the standing committees
hence each will be able to devote his
full attention to the work of inquiring
into the administration of The Ship
ping Board. There are few factors
that will work u greater influence on
the future prosperity of this country
than its merchant marine, and all pos
sibile information must be at hand to
aid in the framing of the legislation
that will best accomplish thu; end. The
mistakes of the past must be brought
to the light in order that they may not
be repeated in the future. The activi-
ties Of the committee will not be mark
ed by carping criticism of tkoge who
have managed the construction of our
huge merchant fleet, but they must
not hesitate 10 expose the false poll
cies, undue extravagances, or individu-
al incompetence that may be found to
have hindered US in the past.

The Call to Service.
(By R. H. Balland, Los Angeles

(By X. II. Balland, Los Angeles).
There is much talk going on in the
country now by seers and others who
are preaching radical changes in gov
ernment. What is the matter with
our government Our constitution
gives US inalienable, inviolable rights
OF personal security, personal liberty
and private property. 10 change it, as
advocated by some, would be to disre-
gard these splendid privileges, no mat
ter how pure a theory some ferns of
government, such as Socialism, may
be based upon. History has taught US
that the administration Of these is not
American in the fact that the prlnci-
Piles of our constitution are Disregard
ed. The Bolsheviks of Russia and the
/. W. WIS of America are one ana
the same thing, all disregarding rights
OF property, personal security and per-
sonal liberty. To what lengths they
have gone in Russia in the disregard
of personal security and liberty is well
known. There is nothing American in
this. The American people do not need
a new form of government, but rather
they do need to awake to the true
signs of the times-namely, the call to
service in the highest sense of the
word.

Time for the Farmer to Think.

Does the average farmer really want
government operation of packing
houses, stock yards, refrigerator cars
and marketing of his farm products,
as proposed by the Federal Trade Com
mission and legislation now before
Congress?
Has any class of property increased
in value as much as farms in the past
ten years, and has any occupation been
more profitable than farming in the
past five years?
An item from Chilicothe, Missouri,
states that farms in that section that
sold for SIPS an acre two months ago
are selling for Sl6O to Sl75 per acre.
This state of affairs in practically
true of the entire agricultural area
of the west.
We had government operation of
railroads for year and half. Have

PIG RISKS NECK DAILY
TO GET AT SILAGE
Latest Exponent of the Silo, is Porker
on Ray Brothers Farm-Jumps
20 Feet into Pit Silo.

This may sound 'fishy" but it is
true just the same. The Ray Brothers
near Rye. Colorado. built a pi: silo and
filled it with corn. A small pig run
ming at large frequented the silo, much
to its satisfaction. As the silage was
fed out and the distance to it increased,
the pig learned to jump. Doirg this
every day and not noticing that the
distance was gradually increasing, the
pig jumped from the top Of the silo
to the silage, distance of 20 feet. The
pig was carried up the ladder every
day but became so heavy that it had
to be shut up.
Ray Brothers are successful dairy
men and they would not do without
silage under any condition. The silo
has put them on their feet and they
are advocates of the pit silo if nothing
better can be had.-R. w. Clark, Colo.

sented to the Senate, from a citizen of
California praying that the great
speech by Daniel Webster On Ameri-
can independence. delivered in the
house Of Representatives in 1924, be

suggestion, as the appeals Of that
