League of Nations

The greatest political and moral question of the hour is how to use for democracy the victory so glori- ously won at such terrible cost OF the battlefelds of France.
 There is a growing conviction among the people of the whole world that devastating war must bs got rid of as a method for settling disputes between nations.
 For one thing, the old balance of power system has resulted in the devastation of Europe; surely 1t Is we'll to try some other way to pre- vent nations from destroying ench other. Ought we to join in the League or abide by the warning Of Washington and avoid entanglo- ments of that kind?
 The world has changed since Washington's day and we can not g@ it alone. On May 2, 1915, Germany. with deliberation ordered to be sunk. without warning, the Lusitani&v wherein seven hundred eighty three lives were lost, more than one hun dred of them being Americans. ,
 Our entry into the European Waw was unavoidable. We had to go ints it, not only to defend the nations which were in a death struggle against the military authocracy oR Germany, but also to earn security for ourselves.
 Unless we get an efficient League of Nations, capable of preventing future wars, our sacrifice in this war will have been in vain.
 The proposed constitution of tho League may not be perfect. The first constitution adopted by our own thirteen original states was so inn perfect that every one soon saw IA must be modified and strengthened But let us improve it as experiences shows the need of it. @

This paper is publishing som,
articles on the subject of irrigation
IN the upper Snake river valley. a.
1t is proposed to conduct it by devel.
oping the great natural reservoir
sites to store the waters that arc
now running to waste. It is proposed
to secure a number of great govern.
ment loans to finance the project OF
putting the wasting foods on the
rich arid lands and bring the landless
man to the manless land.
Twenty-one newspapers in the up-
per Snake river valley are co-operat-
ing in q campaign of education to
show congress and the public the
possibilities thru development of the
Snake river plains and II each
reader of all these newspapers will
remail their papers to their friends
after reading and otherwise try as
hard as the editors do to spread the
light and the truth and to unfold
the mysteries Of the great natural
resources and how to combine them.
1t will do more good than all the

BRIGHT DAYS
AHEAD FOR =
THE FARMER
Congress Asked to Guarantees
Wheat Price--Bean Crop
Sure to Be Sold

OF all the producers the farmer ID
going to find himself in the best DO
sition financially during the period OF
readjustment, according to reports
coming out of Washington from day
to day. The United States Food Ad.
ministration the OTHER day asked Con-
gress to appropriate $1,250, 100000 to
maintain the price Of wheat at 1920,
figure guaranteed by the Government
for the 1919 wheat crop prior to the
ending Of hostilities. 1t seems like.
ly that the Food Administration will
father other legislation and decrees
which will protect the farmer against
lowering prices.
Following hard upon that announce.
ment the California Food Administra.
ton made public the fact that the Gov
ernment is going to purchase virtually
the entire bean crop Of the state for
the army and navy. The Government
has been purchasing about 5000 tons
of beans a month at higher figure
than beans ever brought before the
war.
The average price of wheat to the
farmer on July 1, 1914, was 76.9 cents
per bushel. In other words the Gov.
ernment guaranteed to the wheat rails
er for a period Of two years an ad-
vance Of 194 per cent over what his
product brought in normal times.
Competent authorities estimate that
should the Government withdraw its
guarantee now that the fighting is
over, wheat would drop to at least |
S1.35 per bushel and probably lower. |
In the light Of all this the Govern.
ment expects the farmer to participate
more than eyer In the coming Victory
Liberty Loan.

WST WHAT BILLION MEANS
Probably Few People Have Right Con-
ceptIon Of What an Enormous
Amount It Represents.

We hear Of billions these days, but
1t Is probable that very few persons
have any notion Of what an enormous
amount Of money billion represents.
We do know, however, how rapidly
an expert counter Of coins manipulates
them. You can scarcely follow the
motion Of his fingers as he shifts the
coins from one pile to another and
counts them. The experts in the
treasury department will count 1000
silver dollars an hour and keep this
up all day long, but that is their
limit.
Working eight hours day, then, an
expert counter of coin will count &c.
700 silver dollars In day, but how
long will 1t take him at that rate to
count million dollars? Thirty one
daysl
But that is only the beginning of
the measurements Of great figures,
Tor II the same man were to continue
to count silver dollars at the same
rate Of speed for ten years he would
ind that he had counted only 1OO,-
100000 Of them, and that to count
1,OOO.OOO,O00 Of them would require
lO2 years Of steady work at the rate
OF eight hours day during every
working day Of every one of the 1O2
years.

REPRESENTATIVES, FROM GREAT

Every Difference Between Countries
VIII Have to Be Submitted to
Governing Body, Decision inside
Three Months.

Paris.-The plan for a league Of ma.
lions which may now be considered as
virtually approved by all the members
OF the special commission, provides for
q small body Of representatives Of the
great and small countries which will
govern the society Of nations, meeting
every two or three months In a place
that will be internationalized. The
meeting place was not indicated In the
plan, but during the discussion men,
bers OF the commission spoke of Con-
stantinople or some island.
Each country will provide a list Of
experts in International law, from
which body will be chosen arbitrators
when disputes between nations are SUBJ
mitted for settlement.
Every difference between countries
will have to be submitted to the gov
erning body Of the society Of nations
which will make decision within
three months, during which time the
contending parties must refrain from
any act Of hostility. Once a decision
Is given, If 1t is not accepted by one
or more of the parties to the conflict,
the case will be referred to commit
tee of arbitration, the members of
which will be chosen from lists of ex-
perts on international law provided by
countries which are members of the
society of nations.
II the country which the decision Of
the arbitrators places in the wrong
does not accept the ruling of the arbi-
traitors and has recourse in arms, not |
only the forces Of the other contending |
party in the dispute, but the forces Of
all other members of the society Of
nations in position to help, will take
up arms against it.
The covenant establishing the rules
of the society of nations does not make
1t compulsory for all the contracting
parties to 60 to war to help one of
their associates.

SECRETARY OF

FOR LAND PROCLAMATION

Secretary Lane is before con-
gress after $100.000,0O0 for land de-
/ velopment for returning soldiers.
President approved in his message to
congress. Roosevelt, approved before
death In big magazine article.
Lane wants to create farms by re-
claiming arid lands In west, drain

cut-over lands in north. Every state
affected. Present bill equals only
two-day cost of war. 1t really should
be increased. On Australian basis
Tor same work a proportional cost
to America would be four billion.
Canada offers soldiers a possible
total of $40 acres land and $4,000
cash. Lane wants to employ soldiers
on the reclamation work at full
wages, have them build the homes.
STOCK the farms and sell them to
them on f0rty-year basis at 4 per

Lane appeared before, a caucus of
the house and made remarkable
speech quoting from 1000 letters the
soldiers have written him. Women
