expediencieS of practical poli- tics. It should have a dignity and Importance in the public mind that will lift it above the strife for partisan advantage. Regulation is correct in prin- ciple and can be made right in practice if commissions are eff ficient in personnel. Commits sions must be capable, indepen- dent in order to be efficient, fair and just. There must be knowledge and experience The term of office should not be governed by the vicissi- tudes of politics. It is unduly burdensome and unfair to the public and public utility alike to be contantly educating a new commissioner in the prob lems of the public utility in dustry in order that political obligations may be discharged or partsian advantage bear fruit. One of the problems of today is to take regulation out of politics and to make com missioners responsible to their judgement on what is fair, just and reasonable, uninfluenced by the rant and can't of the demagogue and the cupidity of the politician.

and responsible undertaking. The public utility Is the vendor of an essential service. It is an
 important factor in the indus trial development of the com munity it serves. The invest ment in the public utilities in each state amounts to millions of dollars. It is generally the
 largest single investment in
 any community. The kind of service a public utility renders is dependent upon the efficien- Cy and economy of its opera tion and development of its service iS determined by the na- ture and protection of its cred it. Public utility statutes vest in commissions of regulation almost unlimited powers of SUI pervision and control. Com missions determine standards of service, classification of aC- counts, values, rates and re- turn. The service and develop ment of our public utilities are measured by the character and intelligence of the personnel of commissions. The technique of engineering and accounting, operating practices and the economy of production, distri- button and finance are the problems of regulation. Their solution requires judgement and learning that are the res ut of study and experience. The public good of regulation will depend for its success upon those who regulate. It is a question of men and not of laws. The state with the best utility laws and the least cap- able commission will not have as good regulation as the state with the worst laws and most capable commission. The pub lie does not properly appreciate the importance of a public utility commissionership; and 1t should come te know the duties and responsibilities of such an office in order that it may be less influenced by the

THE CHANGE COMING

Financial papers state that crude rubber is lowest on rec ord, wool is below pre-war figure and silk is selling at new low prices.
 Also labor Is becoming more plentiful and some sections re- port that men are again actual ly looking for and willing to work.
 This does not indicate the coming of hard times or any thing like that but it does in- dicate change for the better in the life of the nation.
 Prices are going to begin to strike more conservative level due to the fact that ef- flciency in production is going to increase.
 We have had a period of high wages, short hours and de creased production which has doubled up prices on the con- sumer.
 We are now going to have a period of good wages, fair hours and increased production which will give the consumer value received for his money.
 Workmen will find they must do an efficient days work for a days pay or another man will be put in their place, the manufacturer will find that he will have to furnish good product for the price charged or his goods will not sell.
 In other words the day of demanding the highest wage or price for inefficient labor or manufactured goods-the day when anything went and the conumers paid the bill is about over. The handwriting IS clear upon the wall for those who will read.

THE FARMERS AND
 POLITICS

The Farmers Bank of FL lensburg, Washington, gives the following sound advise which is applicable to any state where Non Partisan league is active "The farmer should take greater interest in politics. This fall it will be up to the voters to decide whether this state shall continue to prosper and grow under its present form of government, or whether it shall be delivered into the hands of the spoilers to be used as a subject for ex- periments by socialistic dream CTS.
 we regret to note that some of the best farmers of this community, who have recelvd more for their crops during the last three years than ever before, and as a result of high crop prices have more of this worlds goods than ever before, have allowed a smooth-talking stranger to induce them to part with eighteen dollars in order to become a member of an or

NON PARTISAN LEAGUE
 PROGRAM.

The Non-Partison League is going to be force to be reck- oned with at coming elections in several middle west and northwestern states.
 In Idaho it has adopted a postal card platform which is shortest of any political party. This platform advocates the following seven purely social 1stlc propositions: state own ed public utilities to stop prof. lteering; A repeal of the cab inet form of government; La Dor laws to meet the needs of organized labor; A state-own- ed bank to enable farmers and toilers to borrow building and farm loans at cost; State ownership and development of waterpower; A workable init
 
 lative, referendum and recall; State guarantees to cover bank deposits; government owner ship of railroads.
 This program may appeal to some voters who like some thing new and do not take the trouble to look into the plans of the organization The great est danger from the League lies in the fact that too many persons minimize its power and for that reason many fail to work or vote against it. If this IS the case, the states in which the League IS working will have no one but themselves to blame if League candidates are placed in power and program of socialism launched such as has swamped the state of North Dakota with tax bur dens due to cost of bond issues for raising money for state owned enterprises of one kind and another.
 Ridiculing the League and its leaders and calling them names IS child's play The League has proposed a definite program. If you are in favor of a socialistic form of govern ment you will adopt this pro- gram. If not you will leave no stone unturned to defeat the League activities.

ganization which, they were told, has for its object the bet tering of their condition through the carrying out of the socialistic doctrine of state ownership and control of ev- erything, eventually farm lands if the theory is carried to its logical conclusion.
 In the interest of good gov ernment vote for men who do not stand for radical change in our present form of state government, but who will con duct its affairs along safe and sane lines.

To Stop Withdrawal Of OfW1iskeyFrOInBOnd
In the City of New York and Parts of New Jersey and Pennsylvania Claim Plain Fraud"

' Washington, Oct 7.-Withdrawal of whiskey from bonded warehouses in the city of New York and parts of New Jer- sey and Pennsylvania has been stopped temporarily, Prohibition Commissioner Kramer announced today. The action was taken, he said, in an effort to check il- licit sale of liquor in the sections which had been most troublesome" to enforce nent officers.
 Secrecy has surrounded the orders, is sued several weeks ago, and they were made public today only when results of the locked doors" had been noted. The commissioner said they had brought about a great reduction in the outstanding stocks of whiskey in the hands of whole salers, druggists and others. Much oi this quantity had been obtained under subterfuge and plain fraud, he said and it was planned to cut off the supply as means of checking selling.
 MT Kramer said the ban would bt maintained flor while" longer ht said A. L. Dalrymple. district prohibi tion commissioner at Chicago, had re quested that similar order be issued fol the Chicago district but the prohibition bureau had not yet determined on 8 course in that city
 While reduction in illicit traffic, in com munities where the ban has been on had been undeniably great, the commis sioner said, it had not controlled thu employment of fraudulent methods of ob taining whiskey from bonded warehous es He added that restrictions on tn withdrawals could not be apploed to al cohol because of it's use for industria | purposes and that this source of distille' | spirits had continued on the bootlei market"

road matters were in the experimental stage and that the people should have the right to determine their policies through congress.
 On this question the governor said:
 During the temporary lull in active campaigning I have been giving inten- sive study to the railroad situation. Through the great grain fields of the we stwe found universal disquietude, car shortage and transportation difficulties in general Upon my return to Ohio found that because of the same condi- tions that state, great producer of coal. faces a potentially serious coal short age.
 "In my study of the railroad problem have conferred w&h representatives of the former railroad administration, with members of the inter state com merce commission, with managing heads and traffic managers of railroads and with spokesmen for the organized rail- way employees. I am disposed to total 1y disagree with the expression of Sena- tor Harding. who in his speech of Sep tember B seems to lend entire approval to the existing status quo. My opinion is that the matter is entirely in an ex- perimental state. I believe that the people of a democracy have the right to determine their own policies and when these policies are expressed through theil representatives in congress. I shall do al l in my power to render them effectual 1 Until this expression is had, however nothing of a definitely permanent na ture can be accomplished"

 Referring to list of questions on the league of nations, submitted by the Iowa Democratic State committee Senator Harding said he did not want to be in the attitude of a nominee answering ques- tions when the party platform had stated the party's principles.
 "But want to say to my democratic friends" he said. that before they ques- lion me, let them consecrate themselves to the welfare of the United States and "ot that of the old world" Taking up one of the questions about separate peace with Germany, Senator Harding reiterated that he had no i,laa such step would be necessary. To mother question asking whether he be- lieved the league could call us into wa, without congressional action he rep.ced: Certainly not. But if we entered tie league and assumed the obligations Of the | covenant of Paris, and the courcil of the league would decide We shouli contrib. 1 Iite our sons to carry on war under the covenant, then congress would be oblig. Vd to send them or we would be guilty If the grossest dishonesty" The crowd greeted the reply with q | burst of cheering and then some one ir the audience asked:

Washington. Oct 7.-The 1920 popus-- ton of continental United States was an- nounced today by the census bureau as 1O5.6S3.1os This was an increase of l3,- 1lO'Si2 or 14.9 per centssince 1910.
 Today's total does not include the pop ulations of outlying possessions which will be announced as soon as the figures of Alaska and the military and naval ser- vices abroad are tabulated. IL is esti- mated however, that those possessions have l2.250,000 inhabitants. so the total number people living under the Ameri- can flag is in round numbers l1s.000. .000.
 The figures for continental United States compare with 9l.972,2ss ten years ago and 75,994,575 twenty years ago. The increase for the last decade. however. fell ! 2,266,S49 or 6.i per cent. below that of the preceding decade.
 Director Rogers of the census bureau in formal statements attributed this re. | duction to the almost couiplete stoppaEs of immigration during the world war, ar increase in emigration during the same period, deaths in the influenza epidemic o | 1917-1S, and was casualties
 The statement noted that the trend o population from the country to the cit, had been greatly accentuated since 1910 For the first time in the country's his tory. he said. more than half the entir' population was now living in urban ter
