To Be NOnpartisan
Fearing the accusation OF parti-
sanship, the women. after spirited
debate, voted to strike out of the
tentative constitution section
(which provided that members OF
the board of directors and the chair
manships shall be equally divided
between the two political parties"
The constitution adopted states that
members of the league may be mem- |
bers of any political party, and it is
stated that the league shall be non
partisan. No other references are
made to the political parties.
Amendment of the constitution at
some future meeting was made
easier by an amendment adopted to
the tentative document providing
that the constitution may be chang
ed at annual meetings by a two
thirds vote. providing notice of the
proposed change is sent to congress
sional district organizations two
months before the meeting, or with
out notice at the annual meeting by
q four-ffths vote. The original
provision was for years notice be-
fore change or a unanimous vote |

MAY POLL VETERANS

members Of the Senate finance com

various soldier orglujza ticus at 4

las. j. was stated, very little chance
exists OF bill being passed at the
present session.
tnis decision was announced by
the majority members Of the COM
mittee. after the hearing had dis
closed that considerable difference
Of opinion exists among former sol
diers as to the kind of legislation
desired. Gilbert Bettman Of Gin
cInnati, chairman of the american
Legion's executive committee, ex-
pressed the opinion that not more
than so per cent oe the veterans are
in favor of cash bonus. ...,..-..-..-..
In the ueighborhood of 600. 900
former service men have written
about obtaining farms. Payment
of S1.25 for each day spent in the
service would, lie pointed out, he
40 per cent less than the veterans
could obtain by any other plan Of
relief from the government.
Mr. BettEan's statement was I'M

Smoot of Utah. who asserted that
postal cards and letters which clog
the nail OF senator's indicate that
fully GS per cent express a prefer
enoe for c9eh. and that only two per
cent ask for one Of the three other
options which are vocational train
ing, home aid and insurance.
Other senators Joining in the dis
cussion declared that if only one
half the men ask for a cash bonus
it wiz require $L5OO,00O, and that
there is strong opposition to appro-
priating such an amuont at this
time.
Doubt was expressed that it will
be possible to pass a cash bonus
plan at the extra session, which will
be called soon after March 4.
n the hearing room there were
two stacks Of cards, each more than

2carose, asking for relief on behalf
Of the service men. Thirteen cards

Mr.. Bettmar expressed the opin-
on that n poll might be taken by

include only 100000, less than

MAN AND THE MACHINE.

The most expensive item in Ameri-
can production is human labor. This
may not be true the world over For
example, in China a man will give n
hard days labor for four or five cents,
measured in gold, and his board, while
five dollars and board is not an UNI
common wage in America.
The American farmer produces
more per capita than any other agri-
culturalist: but the Chinese produce
more per acre than any other farmers.
This is because in America labor is
dear and land is comparatively cheap
while in China land is dear and labor
is cheap.
The old belief that labor-saving ma
chinery would steal from the poor
man his occupation has been proved
wholly false by every chapter in the
development of modern industry
Never has machinery done so much
of the producing as now, and never
has labor been so well employed and
SO well paid. China is the land OF
hand labor; America is the land OF
machinery.
A curious example of how machin-
cry takes low-paid labor away from
the human hand, leaving that hand
free for better employment, is seen IN
the straws now being used for imbib'
ing soft drinks. Not long ago THESE
straws were real ones from the fieldss;
now they are cylinders of parafflneo
paper. 1t is found cheaper to make
these-as a government bulletin eX'
plains-in three industrial institutions
the oil refinery, the pulp mil ano
the factory devoted exclusively to then
manufacture-than to send chlldrer
into the fields to g"ther free straw.

is $40 of a cent per acre, or just one
half the average paid by all lessees
j. l.. Stewart, who mas about las 900
acres leased, paid a little over cents
per acre for his land. That does not
seem an extortionatf rate for the
state to charge. They got it from Mr..
Stewart Is it not reasonable to
think the state could have gotten II
from many of the other lessees? is
it reasonable to think that bona fide
leSSees who are not mere specula-
tors, will not pay 2, 3, 4, or even
more cents per acre for oil leases if
they really mean business? | don't
think that there is any doubt at all
but that these preliminary first pay
ments for leases that have already
been granted could have been made
to bring in for the state institutions
four or five hundred thousand dollars
instead of the $125, 900, they have so
far brought in and without any handi-
cap whatever to the possibilities of
oil development under them.
Our local company here, the Ros-
well Oil Development company, which
is a good company, IS one of the
largest holders of state leases. These
they paid for at about cent per
acre, They were turned over to the
New York syndicate, or nearly all of
them, for about 10 cents per acre, and
we are glad they were. But is it not
possible, it is not probable. that, if
the state had gotten say 2 or cents
more out OF them that the promo
tiers and stockholders would have been
just about as we'll off?
| have myself invested a little in a
company that had 10000 acres of state
leases and 10000 acres of private
leases, making 10000 acres of leases
inBall. These state leases were taken
over from a lessee of the state who
got them from tile state for about | "a
cents per acre. got In on the
ground floor" of this company on
a basis that values these leases at
exactly 81 per acre. | thought it a
pretty good gamble at that.
There is altogether too great a gap
between the states and the promo
tors end of it in my humble opinion.
1t does not look as II the states
interests were being adequately pro-
tected.
1t does look as if the state and its
institutions were getting decidedly
the short end of the deal.

ing machinery is illustrated in the
one-man Gin albuquerque one-wom-
am trollery cars now being intro
duced in many of the western cities,
These cars, as has been demonstrated
for more than two years in this city
equipped with automatic devices for
safety and speed, save the wages of
conductors without detracting from
the quality of the service.
During the war farm tractors fairly
overran the agricultural areas of the
northwest with their gang ploWs and
wide harrows. This was necessary be-
cause of the scarcity of farm help to
drive the one team implements
Even when help is plentiful such
labor saving machinery will not DIS
appear. 1t will not make work less
for hand workers, The machinery Will
merely enable the farmer to enXtend
his area of cultivation.
Relieved by machines of poorly
maid drudgery, man always finds new
and Better employment He goes to
the making of things which, under the
old order, were Injuries, but which,
Under the new order, soon become
near necessities. Broadly speaking,
the labor-saving machine is the friend
Of the laborer. As a rule, in the land
of machinery, the worker eats more
and better food, wears more and pet
ter clothes. lives in bigger and better
houses. rests more and plays more
than the toiler in the land of hand
labor.
