WHY DID WHEAT
PRICES DROP

That Is tho question that each
farmer is proreunding to every 9TH
er
Can II be bacause the suppl. Is
unusually large and the demand he
low normal. That Is not the reason
The world crol Is short. and the
world demand is large. The croo ID
considerably short of what was pre-
dicted back in Iu!y and still wheat
sr5lH 49, %
i is admitted that exchange rates
operate against our receiving the
PRICE that we should have, but cyan
at that exchange would not explain
the drop below the price ew weeks
ago.
There is a feeling that the drop Is
due to manipulation. but some sinis-
ter influence Is at work to beat the
price down below the cost OF pro-
duction, and that when the farmer
has parted with the grain 1t will
suddenly be discovered that The prize
s too low and 1t will 60 back to -
II perhaps more and that the man
who eats bread will pay the same old
price. The farmer is generally slow
to wrath, and will suffer consider
able wrong. rather than be a party
to wrong doing. but he is watching
present tendenc.a3 with an eagle eye.
He has felt that the law Of supply
and demand and cost Of production
for this crop would both entitle him
to receive close Il So per bushel He
would not have complained at $2.60,
would have accepted 50 with some
grumbling. but $3.50 is arousing in
him something that is going to de-
mand to know why It Is that a gov
ernment that welld fix a low price
for wheat and make him sell 1t at
that price three years ago, wcIld
not fix anything else, and is now 50
powerless that 1t will see him ruin
ed because the price Of bis product
is forced down below cost by vicious
price manipulation.
The wheat raiser, OF all producers
was made the victim Of govern
ment price. fixing law Where did
the benefits go'
The farmer Is turning these things
over in his mind. He knows that
be has been mist, eated, robbed and
that the robbery is being continued.
He is going to kick. He is kicking.
The only question for him to deter
mine is what shall he kick, who shall
he kick, and how shall he kick to
better things f
Don't kick blindly, don't start to
run just because the present situa-
tion Is painful. You may be on the
edge OF hornet activities. when you
start to run, don't run into the hor-
net nest.
In other words, be sure that yol
are on the right track and then 70
ahead.

FORTUNATE ACCIDENT

Accidents can have fortunate
side to them, and we think the VIC
Tins Of one that happened week
ago last evening will agree that they
were in one at the time.
Rev W c Melendy was riding q
motorcycle with q side car, and on
the road met Claude White In Ford
It was after dusk and both were
without lights, 30 did not discover
the danger until very close together.
The preacher was the first to zee the
danger and by quick move and rare
presence Of mind managed to gel
nearly out Of the road, but the point
Of the side car met one. wheel Of the
car.
The result was q sudden stop, con.
siderable damage to the side car, q
few painful but not really serious
scratches. for the minister, and Z
resolution on the part Of all ron.
cerned not to run without Light

TEN MEASURES
TO THE People

At the coming election ten meg
sures will be submitted to-the peo-
pie direct There IL danger. yes we
may safely say certainty that very
few Of the people will give any con-
sideration to these measures until
they find the heading on their ballots
1t the polls i
Probably not one voter In a hun
'dred will read the complete mea.
sures themselves. and probably not
ten per cent Of the people will ever
have an opportunity to do 90.
The first measures initiated re-
quires that firemen In municipalities
must not be required to labor more
than an average Of ~ hours per day.
The measure seems reasonable on
its face, but Ia such a law needed !?
Are hremsn required to work more
than IL hours per day'
The above act will appear upon
the ballot under the caption, "Fixins
hours Of employment Of employees OF
Municipal Fire Departments"
The second is also an initiated
measure and deals with the appoint.
ment OF q board Of examiners for the
Chiropractic school Of treatment Of
disease
II appears to us that this method
Of treatment Of disease has become
20 well established that the law
would be q good thing. and tha: 1t
will relieve the legislature Of a good
deal Of lobbying. II II becmoes n law
We see nothing In II that need to
hAsm the public. In fact 1t should
tend to protect the public from the
incompetent.
The third and fourth measures are
bills to oata',i;sn the counties o! Ii.
mon and F1agtsr. The bill, are reg
ular, and woali establish two coun-
ties. Limon cN.L.v would take par.
from Ebert with valuation OF a.
teen million. and from Lincoln with
a valuation OF nineteen million We
hive no way Of knowing what the
valuation Of the new county may be.
II would appear that II could not be
over six or seven million, without
crippling the older counties. The
eastern boundary Of the new county
would 80 very close to Hugo. II
would seem that the creation Of the
two counties would cut seriously In
to the taxable valuation of Lincoln
county. and also leave their county
seat 1t Hugo away In one corner Of
the old county
II 10 easier to guess at the proper
tion Of Kit Carson county that would
b. included IN the county Of Flagler.
Kit Carson has a valuation Of twen-
ty-one million. II Il sixty miles long
and its county seat is Burlington

fifths Of IT. area. Probably about

new county and leave about twelve
or thirteen million to the original
county Of Kit Carson
Where there are now three soun.
ties ranging In value from fifteen to
twenty-one million with total Of
hfty-hve millions, we would have five
counties with an average Of eleven
million each in valuation. and proba-
bly, OF about equal valuations.
The above valuations are based on
the assessments Of 1918. At the pre-
sent time. we may assume that val
uations would be some higher.
The above things are the vital
things to be taken into considera-
tion In deciding what the voter
should do in registering the vote up
on the bill Demonstrates to u one
Of the weaknesses Of initiated bills
In such kind OF matters. So tar We
have seen no attempts a. much ~
We have given above to show the
merits Of the measure, or the reverse.
Most Of the people Of Weld county
will be likely to vote upon the above
measure In way which they think
will have the best effect upon our
own county division problem,
For instance. II these measures are
voted against very largely IN this
section. the vote 10 likely to BE- inter-

Our situation Is 30 much different
In every way, that legislatur~ or
a thoughtful man could very con-
sistently say that neither Of the pro-
posals for the counties on he inltist-
ed ballot had merit sufiicient to gst
by. and still nnd that Pawnes had
every Justification.
Or any voter could well say that
the measure had not been sufliclsntly
explained to furnish the information
on which to pass an intelligent opin-
lon. We have tried above to sive
an intelligent guess on reasons for
and against We are left entirely In
the dark as to loca, conditions that
might change entirely our arguments
and cause US to form an entirely
different opinion.

New York, Aug. 25.-Wanted In
connection with the murder of his
wife, whose mutilated body was
found in a trunk in New York sew
eral weeks ago, Eugene lie Roy has
been placed under arrest on board
the British freight steamer Dryden
on It's arrival at Rio de Janeiro, ac-
cording TO cable dispatches received
here today.
He was arrested on request of the
New York police. who sent his de-
scription broadcast throughout the
world. lie Roy was working as one
of the crew of the steamer.
For many weeks detectives all over
the country searched in vain for lie
Roy. A week after the steamer Dry
den left New York for Brazil the
New York detectives learned that a
man answering, the description of
LIE Roy had shipped as an oiler. The
captain of the freighter was notified
by wireless to place the suspect un-
der arrest at the first port
lie Roy, according to cable ad-
vices, will be brought back to New
