THE CHILDREN'S SUCCESS.

Hoover says that Europe needs every pound of pork
can send across That that farmers and stock
rases should keep up the good work commenced under
the stress of emergencies and raise more hogs.
Due credit should be given for the valuable work al
ready done along this line by boys and girls all the
country who the members of pig clubs have been in
creasng the pork supply In the state of Vermont alone
1921 boys and girls enrolled in such clubs. Regard
ing Oregon if official figures this point have been
given out do not have them at hand perhaps
showing was as good. From reports made to school
superntendents the Extension Service of the University
of Vermont has learned that those children raised and
marketed 1000 hogs The porkers averaged 200 pounds
live weight and valued at $1750 per hundred pounds
Four hundred thousand pounds may be small
amount compared with the millions of pounds talked Of
in the food reports In fact it is no inconsderable
amount When the work of these Vermont pig clubs is
added to the work of the clubs in all the other states the
value of the chidrens efforts astonishing mpor
tance Quite aside from last years total pork production
too there were learned agricultural economic and bust
lessons that will never be forgotten by the YOUTH
pig growers.

South Dakota To Test
Out State Ownership

Bismarck, N. d., Jan. 1S.-State own
ership faced its first great test in Am
erica here today.
Seven amendments to the state CON
stitution providing state-owned banks,
flour mills, elevators, mines and other
industries, awaited only uovernor Fra

Besides state-ownership, the amend
ments include initiative, referendum,

The amendments are:
Initiative and referendum.

State Lime Board Wants
Restrictions Removed

The state lime board will ask the leg
islature for two favors. One will be
that it be permitted TO handle its af-
fairs just as any business institutions
woud that had $4,000 invested and the
other that it be given working cspi-
tai of $4,000.
As the situation now stands, the state
lime board has a fine working plant and
an investment of 100000, but no money
on which to do business. 1t is restrict
ed 50 in its business affairs that az
the situation now stands, it is up
against it.
In the first place, the board is only
permitted to sell for cash in advance.
This might be done if the board could
sell large consumers or wholesale houses
But its selling is restricted by law to
selling in car lots only and then only
to farmers.
From past experience, the board has
found that farmers do not in general
buy in car lots and do not always have
the amount of money in advance for .
car shipment. Enough farmers who
could use in car lots are not available.
Hence to place itself On basis like
any big business, the board will ask OF
the legislators that it be given work
ing capital of $4,000 an lthat it be Civ
en- discretion to handle its affairs just
as would be done by any large business
This will include the granting Of the
privilege to sell to wholesalers, to seH
out of the state and to use ordinary bus
iness practice in its business affairs.
AT the meeting held Friday morning
there was present A. B. Cordley, B. G.
Lcedy, Benton Bowers and Warden Ste
vens. As warden Of the penitentiary

RETURN OF RAILROADS
TO PRIVATE OWNERSHIP
DOMINATING FINANCES

There is little capital available for the
many long deferred enterprises, that if
started would give abundant employ-
ment to all; and it is unfortunate that
the government does not make more
serious efforts in the direction of rigid
economy, instead of ship building and
other outlays that can reasonably De
postponed.
Very soon the peace congress in Eu-
rope will get down to actual work, and
all progress in this direction will be
encouraging The wretched state of an
archy in Russia and Germany is natur-
ally unsettling, and the end is by
no means in sight. Such disorder is
greatly intensified by scarcity of food;
and we must send liberal supplies of
food where most needed, thus serving
both humanity and the cause of peace
Congress should grant the president
the $100,000,000 he asks; this being one
of the most effective forms of relief.
The outlook for foreign trade under
such conditions is not entirely satisfac-
tory, and we may have to wait for the
expected development of our export
trade. Europeans are too impoverished
to buy, and have little to sell. Yet they
are sorely in need; and we can do no
better for them or for ourselves than
supplying their immediate needs.
The monetary situation is satisfac-
tory in some respects; that is bankers
have the situation well in hand and IRE
doing their best to prevent dangerous
initiation. The tendency, if any, is TO-
ward deflation, and commercial paper
rates are slightly easier in some see
tions of the country. The loan market
at this center is, however, still under
artificial regulation; and such restraint
often works unjustly, if not detriment-
ally. The new revenue law continues
to be source of much concern. Con-
gress shows no haste to pass the present
oppressive measure, which makes de-
structive inroads upon profits, whence
the nations new capital must be de-
rived. Many industrials are showing
the effect of such drastic taxation by
reduced dividends, and Others are re-
dueing dividends because of increasing
costs of production. How the govern
ment is going to raise the money with
this impairment of taxable resources is
puzzle for experts.
On the Stock Exchange business has
been much restricted by the many ul-
certainties referred to. Investors are
cautious and speculative operations are
also strictly limited. January disburse-
ments failed to have the usual stimu-
lating effect. There is the absence of
usual January offerings; the exception
an issue of $65,0oO,000 telephone bonds
on about per cent basis. The offer
is an attractive one and will prove a
good test of the investment situation.
Government bonds, both Liberty aad
foreign issues, ruled steadier, recover
ing some of the December decline.

Open DIPLOMACY is
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.
Members Of Committee On
Packers Hearing Believed
This Was Necessary.

Washington, Jon. lS.--~-Open dipio-
maey' in the government here as wen
as the peace conference was demanded
by senator's at the packers hearing
here today.
Members of the senate agricultural
committee and Francis J. Heney, APP

Administrator Hoover for holding se-
cret conferences with packers to fix
meat prices.
Members cf the senate committee be-
lieved the situation called for action
Kenyon, Norris and Gronna arc espec-
tally anxious that effective legislation
be put through at this session Confer
ences are being held daily over sug-
gestions for control of the packing in
dustry and stoekyards.
CIRCULATION by the food administ-a-
tion did not amount to anything so far
as regulating packers profits is con
cerned," Stuart Chase, federal trade
commission investigator, said at .the
hearing
Armour s profits before the war aver
aged 6.5 per cent, but from 1915 to
1917 they averaged Is per cent, fig

mission indicated.
Prewar Profits
Swift's pre-war profits were around
SO per cent, while during the war they
jumped to 245 per cent. Morris peace
profits of TO per cent doubled after
1914. MHNlW
Heney related how Hoover called
conferences with Swift and company
and other packers.
Senator France, Maryland, suggested
that packers "can come down to ex-
ecutive departments and shut them
selves behind closed doors.'
"And get what they want" inter
rupted Senator Gore, Oklahoma.
''It is not the way to conduct the
government" France added
"It would be perfectly permissible
for departments to hold open hearings
just as legislatives committees do, no
explained.
"That Hoover sent for the packers
in itself ought not carry condemnation
with it," Heney said. "My belief,
like the principle President Wilson 10
contending for, is that the conference
should be openly conducted. y
Senator France inquired if it was
consistent with public policy for exec !.
utive departments entrusted with price
fixing powers "to go into secret con-
ferences with producers of articles on
which prices are to be fixed"
"No it is not, in my opinion He

when he had answered some question

Now the mention of the girl who had
been the cause of Ruth's unhappiness
affected her perhaps more than was Ell

"We must not get into q discussion

fit they expected to make next year. The government

Nobody need jump onto the farmer for this, or onto
anybody else for that matter 1t is of the fortunes

will benefit considerably their profit will not be great

They may make $2000O0000 or $300000000 more than
they would make next year. without the government guar

not deserve this luck because of the zeal with which hey
plunged into their task of feeding the world?
Let surly critics remember too that If the war had
continued for another year. their wheat would easily have
been worth $226 bushel If they are profiting
from early peace their good fortune is only part Of our
