THE NEW RIG IDEA

It is within the memory of middle-aged men that our great financial and industrial develop ments depended upon foreign capital, and English syndi- cates," and German syndi- cates" were common enough throughout the United States. But all that is changed. and this country has loaned the govern ments with which it has been as sociated in the war somewhere around eight billion dollars. Mr. Frank A. Vanderlip, the New York tinancier, estimates that these loans, with the increase of foreign bank credits, makes g. total change in the international credit situation measured by about SIP, ,500,0O0,000. MT. Van derlip declares that the ques- tions confronting the country at the present time, calls for we'll considered opinions, for we can not expect to have the Govern ment have sounder judgement than the sum total ct public opinion. " He offers this healthy advice: Let us continue to be altruistic. If we render to the world a great service we can rest easy about our reward. We have great opportunity. Let us see what we can make of this op portunity, not what we can make out of it."

condition radically worse. There is, therefore, strong leaning towards the natural condition in affairs which suggests Govern. ment control and private owner ship, particularly as applied to public-service enterprise.
 The American Federation of Labor has filed a program with the Government, which provides for law making it a criminal of fence for any employer to ham per the organization of his em plOyeS in trade unions. It also provides that there shall be no reduction in wages in any case.

THE NATIONAL CAPITAL
(By J. E Jones'

THE RAILROADS AND POLITICS .. During the railroad hearings that have been held in Washing ton recently the opinion has been frequently expressed that feder al administration cannot be di- vorced from politics. One of the attorneys before the Senate Committee voiced tine situation when he said; Whoever may be appointed, and whatever office l he would hold, he would still be 1 surrounded by political atmo- sphere"
 In this connection it is very apparent in Washington that tn Q organized labor groups have talk en frequent advantage of the con ditions that have enabled them to crack political whips at pleasure. The situation with reference to the telegraphers $ and the Postoffice Department is quite acute, and the telegraphers threaten the Postmaster Gener al-even though 2 official chief-with all sorts of consequences. Nobody appears to be afraid of Mr. Burleson any more.
 Meantime the power of the railroad interests and the wire concerns is not to be miDimized.
 While the Unite1 States has
 been putting on it's New Free. dom," there have been stronger
 ties formed between Govern 1 ment and politics than have ever existed before. If there is any solace in the situation It is to be found in the condition which permits organized capital and or. ganized labor to participate at | Washington as open competitors for the spells of politics Thoughtful citizens are agreed that Government ownership

Watch The Roads

February is a hard month on country roads. Two thirds of the bad places could often be re paired by few minutes work at the right time. Do not wait for the officials to do these little jobs. Ten minutes work will stop a wash that it may cost $50 to fix later on. Drainage is the first law of road making; drag ging is the next. Write to the Extension Division, Fayetteville, for plans on road making.

checking immigration; and the further suggestion is popular that the Government should pro- vide vast amount of public con. struction. The carrying out of Secretary Lanes land develop ment plans are regarded as i'm portant in that they suggest a way by which soldiers can SC cure real home and piece of land, if they will apply them selves to the task.

MIR. GOMPERS AND HIS PULL
 Mr. Gompers is welcomed to occupy the softest arm chairs in every place where politics has power, aud has it's weather eye out for votes. There is no mini mixing his great influence in Washington. The fact that he stands back of the plan to union. lze Government employees is proof that the movement will be pressed.
 This issue was brought up un der the administration of MT. Roosevelt, and the latter, in his most vigorous manner, denounc- ed any such attempts. An effort was made to inaugurate union ized federal employees in the Gov ernment Printing Office, and Mr. Roosevelt clubbed the thing to death with his biggest stick.

VESTED PREJUDICES

President Wilson appears to nave located an affinity of ideas ia the person of Lloyd George, Prime Minister of England. The latter, in recent statement, de- clared that it is not to the vest ed interests Pm afraid of, it is the vested predjudices." He add ed the comment, Sweep these away and the State can easily deal with the interests: you must not take away any man S proper ty; you cannot build a great State on dishonesty; you are
 bound to come to grief if you at Etempt it."
 England is facing the same
 conditions that have grown up in
 the United States, and Lloyd George recognizes the fact that organized movements exists in the countries that have been busy with the war, seeking to control the opportunities which have heretofore been the birth right of citizenship. What is known as Bolsheviki in some of the European countries has been manifesting itself in a modified form in the United States through attempts to honeycomb our political and economic affairs with a taint of socialism. The American soldier has had an op portunity to see this system in operation in foreign lands, and the probabilities are that he will prefer the good old U. s. A. un- der the conditions as he knew it before the war. America is not old enough to have any great stores of progenitors, but the Sons Of Liberty" are deter mined to uphold their heritages.

SHOULD IMMIGRATION BE CHECK
 ED2

ED?
 The Committee on Immigra tion in the House of Representa- tives, is considering radical changes in the immigration laws. Nobody appears to be at all sure that Europeans. or Asiatics, will wish to burden the affairs of the United States by adding their presence to our population in large numbers. Nevertheless, 1t is certain that the country has about all it can undertake to do if it provides the right kind of employment for the returning soldiers. and keeps the rust of the wheels ot industry. It is es- timated that 3.000.000 men were idle in the United States before the selective draft was put into operation. If thls estimate is even approximately correct then the return of the soldiers to civil life will mean a great deal of un employment unless measures are devised to put the speed belt on industry.
 The argument seems to favor
