BILLION AND A HALF SAVED.


Washington, May.-The saving by
the present congress of billion and
a half Of dollars is reported by Repre-
sentative Frank w. Mondell, of Mon
tana, majority leader in the house. He
says:
"With the reporting Of the sundry
civil appropriation bill to the house,
the last Of the thirteen great annual
appropriation bills, providing for all
of the government services for the
fiscal year beginning July lst next, is
on its way 10 enactment, and we are
able to report that the total savings
represented by these bills, below the
original estimates submitted by the
administration for these services in
the book Of estimates, is 81 1893, ,085,-
112.f3, while the total savings below
the original and supplemental esti-
mates is 81, 1,52s, 1894, ,402.13.
"At the beginning of the present
session Of congress | expressed the
hope that we would reduce our appro-
priations, carried in the regular ap-
preparation bills, billion and a quar-
ter below the estimates submitted by
the administration for these services.
| think we are justified in pointing
with pride to the fact that not only
has the hope then expressed been
fully realized, but the saving has been
n quarter Of billion more than was
promised and aggregates total saw
ing Of more than billion and half.
In other words, we have kept our ap-
preparations below the administra-
tons request and estimate by a sum
one and one-half times as great as the
total annual expenditures.

BLAME FOR SUGAR PRICES


Washington, May.-Blame for pres
ent high prices for sugar is laid at
the door of the Wilson administration
by Representative Louis W. Fairfield,
of Indiana.
at is not the fault Of congress-" he
SAYS "for every power that Congress
can grant by way Of law for the con-
troll of profteering is now upon the
statute books" Then. he went on 10
explain:
'The outrageous profteering in
sugar grew out Of the failure Of the
president to permit the sugar equali-
ration board TO buy the Cuban crop
ut s 3-4 cents. ! am reliably informed
that in August of last year this board
requested the permission of the pres
ident TO purchase the crop of 1919
from Cuba. This request was re-
ne~ed in November Of O,e same year.
The president acknowledged the re-
ceipt of the letters, but did not dele
gste to the sugar board the author
ity to make purchase. There was but
one man on the board who opposed
the purchase Of this crop. For tho
failure to secure that crop the Ameri-
can people are paying to the profiteers
q sum variously estimated at from
S800000, 900 to $1,000, 100000. Even
that failure does not warrant the ex-
cessive prices that are now being ex-
acted. In 1918 the Louisiana sugar
producers received cents per pound
for sugar. In 1919 they had half a
crop end the Encouragement of the
United State permitted them to charge
is cents per pound. The price per-
mitted by the department of justice
began the phenomenal rise in the
price of sugar.
''Thus the government undertook TO
compensate the sugar dealers of Lou
isiana for their crop failure by per-
mitting them to fix the price at 1S
cents when at the same time the gov
ernment knew perfectly well that Lou
isiana produces but tithe of the
sugar used in the country. On the
same reasoning, il any state had
raised but half its usual crop OF
wheat the government might have jus.
titled itself in permitting the farmer
to charge $4 per bushel for wheat anc
thus have raised the necessity OF
life by 100 per cent. The govern
ment has no excuse for the bunglinl
manner in which this sugar situation
has been handled. The American peo
pie are paying the bill. Even now, il
the department of justice would act
the upward movement of sugar could
be arrested. The unfortunate long
continued absence of the chief execu.
tive in Europe, coupled with his un.
fortunate and most lamentable sick.
ness, has deprived the American peo
pie of the service of their chief execu
tive in full power and strength fol
II months of the time since Decem
Der of 1918. In other words, for Il
months out of II the chief executiv,
of the nation has been unable becaus,
of absence or illness to properly at
tend to the domestic affairs of a ma
tion of 1l0,000,000 people.

THE ONE GREAT UNION.

The Seattle local of the longshore-
mems international union has threat
ened to tie up all shipping unless Wa
terfront Employers Union agrees to
hire men only from the list posted by
the unions.
Why should an American longshore-
man be denied the right to work il
he does not see fit to join the long
shoreman's union and on what author.
ity has any union the right to tell
an employer he cannot hire compe-
tent help unless authorized by the
union?
This is still a free country which
guarantees a man the right to life,
liberty and pursuit of happiness. This
includes the right to work in a law
full manner.
The longshoreman's union and like
organizations, including railroad
unions and others, must be brought to
realization of the fact that the one
great Union comes before all local
unions and that all Americans are
members of the one great Union and
under its protection and do not have
to belong to any local union, unless
they wish, as a condition precedent
TO getting a job or hiring a man.
The public has arrived at this con-
clusion and il would be well for radical
agitators to take heed.

From the published reports of con-
ditions in North Dakota, it appears
that taxes have increased in the
neighborhood Of 800 per cent in the
past two years of Non-Partisan
League rule.
The League program of socialism
and state ownership is now costing
the people heavily. A farmer gets no
more for his produce than farmers in
adjoining stats and loaf of bread
or meal costs Just as much in
North Dakota rs elsewhere.
A costly political machine has been
built up at the expense of taxpayers
and investors stear clear of North
Dakota, where an autocratic class rule
in the interest of privileged few
endangers the safety of all kinds of
investments. The league is making a
determined fight To extend its influence
to other states at coming elections.
