foredoomed to defeat. 1t may be that
the Democrats of Georgia and the
other States of the solid South will
not vote for Senator Harding, but it
is a certainty that they will not give
their ballots to Gov Cox.
Cox sees defeat staring him in the
face unless he can tear himself loose
from the encumbrance of the Wilson
league. The campaign contribution
talk is one of the pitfalls that Gov.
Cox has contrived to turn public
thought away from wisconsin and the
league. 1t will be followed by other
artful subterfuges, successful just in
proportion as Republican speakers and
writer's permit themselves to be guided
into the channels of discussion arrang-
ed for them. Stick to the issues of
wisconsin and internationalism, and
the Coxian diversions will die for the
lack of publicity, the food upon which
they thrive.

phernalia thought necessary to beguile

FARMERS NEED FACTS
CONCERNING RAILROADS
AND TRANSPORTATION
They Must Learn More About Eco
n0mic Problems and Their Solu-
tions to Make Progress at
Present Day.

The farmers of Colorado have been
able in past years to meet all diff
culties and come thru winners. They
are going to have real test in the
next few years when they ship their
produce 1000 to 1900 miles with freight
rates 35 per cent higher than before,
to compete with farm products grown
near the Eastern markets. Already
we note a tendency to drop our market
quotations and let the farmer absorb
the freight.
For the past ten years We have
joined hands with farmers everywhere
in blaming the railroads for all our
troubles. But the fact remains that
we must have the railroads if our agri-
culture is to continue.
We find now that there are many
sides to the transportation problem.
And we find thpt on the whole, we,
as farmers, understand very few of
the real difficulties in the way. We
need to know more about railroading.
1t is fine thing that the American
Farm Bureau Federation, at its Denver
meeting, voted to study railroad trans
portation.
We need the facts. We need TO know
how farm produce moves to market.
We need to know when the peak load
of this movement comes and how it
relates to the peak load in the carry
ing of other products.
Especially do we need to know how
farmers can help flatten out The peak
load of their demand for transporta-
ton. We will find here that we run
into tine problems of marketing and
banking.
We should stand behind our Ameri-
can Farm Bureau Federation till it
gets the facts in the case-then we
can build marketing policy that will
send Colorado farm products out in a
steady stream, flattening the peak
load for the railroads, and giving the
city its food when it needs it, and
not all in heap once a year.
1t is a fine thing to see the spirit
shown by the American Farm Bureau
Federation in going 'fter the facts in
the case. Let US get the facts-then
let US act.-R. T. Burdick, Colorado
Agri. College.

Harding Commands Respect

The reception given Senator Hard
ing when he spoke to the farmers at
the Minnesota State Fair leaves no
room for doubt as to the esteem in
which the Republican candidate is held
by the agricultural interests of the
country. The Senator's address was a
serious. dignified discussion of agri-
cultural conditions at the present time,
with suggested solutions of their prob
lens which he proposes to apply if
elected to the Presidency. 1t was an
appeal to the intellect and intelligence
of his auditors. who gave the Senator
their closest attention and enthusiastic
applause when he had finished.

The Non. Partisan League Organization

The Nom Partisan League Organization
The most radical element in the
West today which threatens various
forms of established industry and our
present form of government is the
Non-P Partisan League and affiliated Or
ganizaio such as the Triple Ali
ance, the Workers Non-Partisan
League, the radical labor party and
the Farmer-Labor organizations.
The managers of the Non-Partisan
League are smart enough to choose
candidates who can gain the support
of these various groups.
In the past the League has worked
in the open. 1t is now working quiet
ly in various states. Its trained solic-
itors circulate among farmers and
other citizens preach its doctrines and
secure members. No publicity is CIV
en- their Lotions. Thus the organiza-
ton gains headway and foothold in
communities wliich think they are safe
from this new form Of socialistic pro-
paganda.
The reason that the League exists
under the severe criticism to which it
has been subjected is that it is found
ed on a highly organized business
basis. 1t has the keenest solicitors to
gain memberships and draw together
all the elements Of discomfort under
one bannHr. 1t is amply financed by
the funds of its members and can hire
the best talent to keep its organiza-
ton intact. Herein lies the danger
from the League as an organized min
o=ity will often put to rout an un-
organized majority.

Army Plans Under New Law

Under the law pissed by the Repub-

Department is working on a plan for
providing vast army of defense when
the hour of need arrives. II is said
that a force, limited only by the num-
ber of men within draft ages, can be
mobilized and equipped within very
short time. The first line will be the
regular army of 100000 men. the
second line the national guard with its
ABS 900 officers and men, and the re-
serve force will be as large rs may be
required to meet the specific emerg-
ency. Already, under the provisions Of
the new law, a reserve force Of 10000
officers has been appointed. and 10000
more are being considered for appoint

The Colorado School of Mines ranks
first in growth with an increase Of ap-
proximately 100 per cent, and the Uni
versity of Colorado is next with gain
of more than SO per cent. The Colo
RADIO Agricultural College shows a
growth of 80 per cent. The Colorado
State Normal School and the Colorado
State Teachers College show increases
of 14.65 per cent and per cent, re-
spectively. The small growth of these
last two institutions is attributed to
the unattractive salaries offered in the
teaching profession. This condition,
it is said, is noted in reports from a
number Of other states.
Despite the decreasing value of the
dollar, now worth about 40 cents as
compared with 1916, these institutions
have been endcavoring to operate on
an income which has advanced in num-
Der of dollars only in ratio to the en-
rollment. This means, the report
points out, that the income received
from the state last year was worth no
more than the income received in 1916
when only half as many students were
enrolled.
Many students were turned away at
the opening of the University last year
on account of the lack of facilities TO
provide instruction for them. In
other schools the floor space and num-
Der Of instructors have not been in
creased to take care of the growing
enrollments. Glass rooms have been
over-crowded, equipment lacking and
the instruction of students otherwise
hampered. To provide these increas-
ing demands for more teachers, class
rooms and laboratory supplies costs
money.
In order to save the colleges from
financial disaster, educational authori-
ties and others interested citizens OF
the state have initiated an amendment
to the constitution enabling the legis-
lature to provide sufficient funds for
the maintenance of higher educational
institutions. This amendment will ap-
pear on the ballot at the general elec-
tion November 2.
