FINE BUSINESS PROSPECTS

Ordinary business suffered during the war; It was
In the country was necessarily devoted as far as possible
to the production OF war material or tho furtherance OF
war activities in some form or other. When meteorolo-
gists discuss the weather they often use the term 'ac-
cumulated deficiency to note the degree in which the
precipitation for a given period falls below the normal
for that period, using the average over a long series OF
the business deficiency which has been piing up during
these past four or five years.
People have been going without a great many things
to which they, were accustomed, and which they had ex-
pected to continue to obtain. They did not stop buying
and building. but there was a general slowing down. The
purchase Of new things was deferred. Instead Of build
ing a new house the owner patched the old one to make
it serve a little longer, and repairs were often postponed
and buildings were permitted to stand as they were. In
scores of ways a shortage has been piing up, and it is
certain that with the pressure Of war conditions removed
the people of this country will start out on an era OF
building, and of expenditure in every imaginable con-
structive way which will keep the wheels Of every indus
try turning at full speed.
Naturally this will not occur all at once. There must
be a period Of readjustment. and it is in that period that
we now are. But there is every indication that this
period will be brief, for everywhere there are signs that
this is to be a great year in American industry Of every
kind.

TRACTORS FAVORED IN ITALY.

Milan, March 1.-The Corriere
della Sera publishes an article on
AGRICULTURAL conditions by Giovanni
Marchese the authority and student
who makes important suggestions for
the revival Of agriculture in the. king
dom since it has suffered great de-
preston as a result of the war. He
suggests measures to put the industry
back on a normal footing. the Guilt
walton Of the ground to the limit in
order to obtain the largest possible
yield. He would push the crops al
ready sown and SOW a larger area
this spring.
He also would have the government
assist the agriculturists by putting at
their service all the tractors at Its
disposal, and the others 1t will acquire
subsequently in the quickest time
possible in order to eliminate h e-ob-
stacies and delays incident to official
red tape as a result Of which thou
sands of motor tractors and trucks
were not utilized.
Signor Marchese also favors a. dis
tribution of fertilizer which has been
neglected for the war period in order
to restore the productivity of the soil
which has been drained by the war.

OPPOSING THE REFERENDUM

4ne SoClal1S 4edoeIS III NoTtn OdhoLd nave SCo' ~
out on a vigorous campaign, the object of which is tt"
prevent the referendum to the people Of many Of the
acts passed in the session of the legislature just closed.
They feel that in the passage of these bills they have got
substantially what they want. They do not intend if they
can avoid it to run the risk of having any part of their
program impaired by the action Of the people. The plea
is made among other things that these matters have all
been formerly considered by the people during the past
two or three years, and that these new laws are in ac-
cordance with the wishes of the people.
Conditions are possible under which something of
this sort would be true. If the people had during these
years actually considered the policy to which the legis-
lature has now committed the state and if after such
consideration a substantial majority of the people should
have approved these measures in substance or in prin-
ciple at the polls, and an attempt to submit them afresh
to the referendum vote could scarcely be interpreted as
anything more than a policy Of delay and obstruction!
1t happens however that this is not the situation. The
people of North Dakota have never had an opportunity
to vote on even the principle involved in some of the most
important legislation Of this winter. They were given to
at the outset that the Socialist managers de-
sired to be given large powers in order that there might
be no interference with their carrying out to their wish
IS specific policies which had been quite widely discussed.
The program has been entirely changed. The demands
have been extended and the policy expanded, and the
legislation with which the state is now confronted goes
far beyond anything to which serious consideration has
been given by the people of North Dakota. ... .
The constitutional amendments which were voted on
last fall we're exceedingly varied in character. Some Of
them were definitely approved at the polls. Those under
which the legislature has just acted in its economic leg
islation did not receive the approval Of a majority of the
voters of the state. The supreme court decided that this
was not necessary, but the fact remains that we are oper-
Iating under new constitutional provisions which were
placed upon the books by a minority Of the voters of the
l. H. -:i-A. .-,.
passed upon by the voters in any regular form. The sub
mission of some of the more important and more revolu-
tionary bills which were adopted is under the circum-
stances wise and reasonable. If upon such referendum
the legislation is approved it will be carried into effect
and the people will have an opportunity upon payment of
the price to test the wisdom Of these innovations in the
government. 1t is unreasonable and tyrannical upon the
part Of many of the self constituted bosses to attempt to
block the reference Of this vitality important legislation.

THOSE CONSUM ERS' STORES

tn. The discussion of the taxation status Of the Consum-
fevs stores which has just been begun may cause a good
IIeelany people to wonder what has become of those stores
%oncerning which such rosy announcements were made
list q few months ago. Things move rapidly in these
Hays, and that which is not constantly kept before us is
zoon forgotten. This one enterprise appears to have been
1narsretty we'll forgotten by the general public. 1t is to be
feiondered if the farmers who have paid their 500 each
thato the treasury Of the store corporation are equally
unorgetful.
tn, Mr.. Townley is not an apostle of voluntary co-opera-
ssuaton. He believes in state Socialism or nothing. He and
aris Meutenants have rejected with scorn suggestions that
e sh way was open for cooperation among the farmers
Sea all the enterprises in which he has sought to have the
tate engage. But the cooperative method, which has
GGoeen successful in Great Britain, and in many parts OF
Monumental Europe. and which has also had its measure
dit al success in this country when kept free from entangle-
es1ents with other issues, was not in line with the views
edf the Socialist boss.
N! The Consumers stores plan, however, was an
ounced as a real cooperative enterprise. In a limited
3o5tay this description was correct. for, on paper, there
t6Yas to be real cooperation among the members in each
oftore group to the extent of the investment Of the first
fe1o, 900 subscribed in the business of operating the store.
4n:ut the real meat of the stores scheme lay in the fact
1fhat it provided an immense fund for educational pur-
oses, and this fund has been under the exclusive control
Rssf Mr.. Townley or whoever he might select. And, with
cononey being spent at the rate at which it was spent at
