URGE ELIMINATION
 USELESS EMPLOYES
All Classes Must Join in Common Effort to Lower
 Prices, Says Meredith
sv A,,oe,,,,s pr,.,

Washington, February 2.-Elimination of useless employees in non-productive business, the speeding up of all lines of industry commensurate with the present activity of the farmers and determination of retailers and jobbeIs to exact only a reasonable profit were recommended as a solution of the high cost of living prob lem by Edwin T. Meredith on taking the oath of office today as secretary of agri- culture.
 The high cost of living problem. the new Secretary asserted, cannot be solved through the efforts of one class, but all business and all labor must recognize the solution as a common duty or Hess and less will there be of farm produce to divide among the whole people and higher and higher will go the price of that which is produced"
 'The farmers of America" said Secre- tary Meredith, ''are willing to assume their part of the responsibilities as American citizens in meeting any problem threatening the welfare and stability of our country, but this high cost of living problem is a mutual one, and they ask that it be approached by all the people as common problem
 They ask that those engaged in dis tribution eliminate the lost motion and not put so great burden upon produc- ton as there is upon it today. In other words, they ask that there be ade- quate number of producers of wealth. and this includes property and food of all kinds, and only such number of distribu- tors as is necessary to perform the serv- ices required. They ask that the banks, railroads, wholesale houses, retail estab- lishments, factories, all of which are vitaily necessary to the farmer and recognized by him as such be speeded up along with him, that the work now done by three men may be done, if possible, by two, and the burden of transportation and distribution be thereby frightened.
 Business men must look to the opera ton of their establishments, no matter in what line they may be engaged and see that no useless employe is retained to add to the cost of distributing what the farmer now producers"

TWO DAKOTA PICTURES.

Four hundred and sixteen dollars
fog every person in the state of South
Dakota are the bank deposits OF that
state. One automobile for every six
and one half persons. is the auto
census
II makes for "reminiscences. IL
doesn't require any old inhabitant to
remember how the squalid and
draggled prairie schooner used to
come trailing despondently back for
Dakota" with a half starved fam
lily beneath the canvas cover thru
which i'll clad children peeped out
That was a common sight not many
years ago. Perhaps you came upon
roadside camp where the CALLED and
skinny horses cropped grass by the
fences and a little group Of dis
couraged people sat about a camp
fire cooking what little they had been
able 10 scrape up. Quite often the
kindly Iowa and Illinois farmer in
vited the family to sleep in the barn
or in the house II he had the room
and to a meal. Then the story was
told OF a long and losing struggle
against drouth and disaster. How
the wheat burnt up in hot wind
Just as they thought they were get
ting a good start, what he sold his
starving pigs for and how little they
sc. FOR their mich cows because no
body had feed. etc, and the asser-
ton that il they ever got back to the
old mel ghborhood nothing would
drive them away. Yes, the wtfe's
father was going to rent them a
patch Of land and his" brother
would help them to seed and lend
them little money to go on. 1t was
practically the same story every
time it was told by different stray
slers. And so we saw them years ago
coming back from Dakota" a..
The other side Of the picture con-
sists Of enough automobiles to load
the entire population Of South Dako-
ia into and go Joy riding, OF S41s
apiece to so with it. OF farms that
run up into hundreds per acre. The
difference is that between an old
daguerrotype and tho deluxe art Of
the modern peace the de luxe.

FIR. HAVNER'S PLEDGE.

Mr.. Havner. candidate for the NOM
nation for governor. is quoted In the
Des MONIES Register thus: IF elect
ed governor of Iowa I pledge myself
to have a law enacted requiring that
all differences over wages shall be
submitted to an industrial court
which shall have power to enforce its
decision
Agreeing with Mr.. Havner as to
the justice and economies of such a
court it is not easy to see how Mr..
Havner isabIe to say that he, Mr..
Havner, can consistently pledge that
he will take charge of the legislature
of Iowa and "have" the legislature
enact such laws as he may command.
Mr.. Havner Is ''pledging" too much,
biting off as 1t were more than he
is supposed to chew If he were to be
elected governor"
Neither the governors Of states nor
the president of the United States Is
the whole government, tho we have
had high example Of egotistical and
stubborn desire to annex the legisla-
tive to the executive. The candidate
that makes such pre- convention
pledges assumes altogether too much.
A governor or a president may and
should be a leader. There Is and
always will be objection to his as
sumption of autocratic powers and
TO the issuance of ukases to legisla-
lures and congresses.
Incidentally the Des Moines Reg
lister whose favored candidate for
governor Is said to be Mr.. Havner
and which Is doing what it can for
Mr.. Brookhart and against Cummins
must find some difficulty in keeping
peace in the cage and retaining con-
sistencv- NJ. Hsvce- !csists CT ;s.:.-
ing agttators and demands the Sc
verest laws against strikes; Mr..
Brookhart's platform is radically in
favor Of striking as you please and
at viii, he stands as the candidate OF
the Plumb plan Of naturalization OF
railroads, for the naturalization OF
coal mines, q mixed socialistic, labor
and ssmi soviet program. Yet II
would drag Senator Cummins and his
mild anti-strike proposal to the
slaus hterhouse and Mr.. Havner with
his stern program Of tails and his
pledge to have" anti strike legisla-
ton enacted in Iowa to tho governor
ship.
The elder Lafayette Young seems
70 have been right when he called
politics a game-in Des Moines.

PARDoNs AND PARDoNa.

The governor has denied the appa-
cation for pardon Of . man named
Morse tho the application was back.
ed by . petition signed by 5000
names In Sioux CITY ana by aft.
davits and resolutions made and
passed by individuals and organiza-
tions OF that city 1t appears that
Morse was sent to the psnitentiary
for grand larcenty, escaped from Ft
Madison In 1914 and since then It Is
said has led an honorable life and
worked hard TO support his family
Of six persons, He was picked up
six weeks ago and returned to Ft
Madison.
There can DO little criticism Of q
governor who refuses to pardon an
escaped convict no matter how many
names were attached to . petition or
how many organizations passed
resolutions-if the mind would not at
once revert to that Rath' un pardon.
This Morse seems to have deserved
his sentence. He served part of 1t
and got away and according to tho
statements and the signatures OF a
multitude Of his townsmen has lived
decently and laboriously for years
since his escape. or course escaped
convicts should be returned to prison
when they are recaprurea--but there
again the Rathbun pardon comes to
mind and wonderment increases why
a brute like that could find such
SWEET sympathy in an executive
bosom which fails to thrill with
mercy for Morse. Morse Is probably
no Jean Vatican. There is no oc-
casion to make a fuss over the de-
NAL Of a pardon 10 hirn-but the in
slant that train of thought starts up
bobs the Rathbum pardon and some
body says He and his crime are
more deserving Of pardon than Rath-
bun and his crime"
Things are hard to account for
sometimes. Rathbun certainly had q
smooth attorney.
