HOUSTON IN FAVOR
OF E UNIONS

There should be provided a
system of personal-credit unions,
especially for the benefit of In
.dividualS whose financial cir
cumstances and scale of opera
tons make it difficult for them
to secure accommodations
through the ordinary channels.
Organized commercial banks

aggregate volume to the farmers
Of the nation possessing the
requisite individual credit, but
there are many farmers who, be-
cause of their circumstances,
are prevented from securing the
accommodations they need.
The men l have especial
ly In mind are those whose Oper-
atoms are on a small scale and
who are not in most cases init
mately in touch with banking
machinery, who know too little
about financial operations, and
whose cases usually do not re-
ceive the affirmative attention
and sympathy Of the banker.
Such farmers would be much

fact that before the president came

ant Secretary of State Polk a special

head of the peace commission to make

.ansing did not return with the pres
ident, but was recalled a few days
after Wilson reached home. The
ethics of officeholding under a CHIEF
and the desire to be loyal party man
and not betray official condolences
might keep the secretary from seek
ing publicity. He might even con.
tinue in office rather than emoaiIass
the president at this stage of the cove

But if the secretary is believed as

very many Americans who will less

VOTES AGAINST THIS WISE.

No recent defense of the proposed
amendment for central control Oh the
educational and penal institutions ana
for the care of insane has been noted
in public print, other than an inter-
view with Senator Bryant of Portaies,
one of the democratic legislators VINO
favored the measure when the election
was authorized.
The question of economic merits OF
centralized control may be deoataple'
but the people of the state eVldenuy
approve of the present system OF man
agement of institutions by citizens VINO
serve without pay and are chosen ne-
cause of their interest in public well
fare.
The features which assure dereat
of the plan are lack of provision TOT
Appointments to be confirmed by ana
with the consent of the senate, ana
the stipulation for an entire new
hoard every two years. The educators
of New Mexico have sounded an
alarm, because, while the present
governor might appoint a non-paru-
san board, at every subsequent change
of administration political place-hunt-
ers would use influence to secure ap-
pointment, and no member famlilar
with duties might remain in service
The further objection is made that
the salary proposed would not secure
men of recognized ability comparable
with those who serve through pupfc
spirit, at personal sacrifice and with
out political or personal advantage.
If the people of the towns where the
institutions are located. and who know
most about them, go to the polls and
vote, this measure will hardly go into
effect. But others should also vote
against it, for safety.

expense of $4,000 of public funds
would not be made to report to the
people" The report would be made
through the press of the country if
he stayed in Washington, just as it
will be when delivered en- route. The
president, of course, wishes to secure
the additional effect of oratory. But
If he did not feel the need of securing
home pressure on senators to win in
his contest, he would scarcely enter
upon the exhausting task set by him.

BALLOTS THAT DECIDE.

ficers say that 80 per cent of the
people of New Mexico disapprove of
the proposed amendment for highway
bonds, because no clear limitation is
provided to guard against legislative
extravaganza as to amount of debt
that could be authorized by legisla-
ture. But the authors of the state
ment call attention to the wisdom of
casting ballots and not taking it for
granted that actual voting is not need
ed to defeat the amendment. If ten
per cent favorable minority voted and
81 per cent of opponents stayed away

would be adopted by a two to one

ABOUT LANsING'S VIEWS.

When Secretary Lansing was a wit
ness before the senate committee on
foreign relations he was very reticent.
The committee did not press him for
any opinions, accepting his statements
of lack of knowledge about many
things that occurred. of which, as a
member of the peace commission he
might have known and the reasons
therefor. 1t was known that he had
opposed taking from Germany the
peninsular of Shantung to give to
peninsula of Shantung to give to
Japan instead Of restoring it to China.
1t remained for an employe of the
commission to let the senate COM
mittee know of the oral condemna-
tion given by the member OF the
presidents cabinet who was quoted
as declaring that the American peo-
pie should and would defeat the cove
nant if they understood 1t, and that
it was a bad arrangement all the way
through.
Since the secretary has declined to
comment upon the statement Of the
witness and prefers to so fishing, 1t
would seem that he is willing for the
people to know his thought, though
he was not disposed to do so officially
before a committee, to the embarrass-
ment of the president
