Kansas house of representatives. pre-
sided at the meeting which voted ap-
proval of plan to support General
Wood as an aid to Governor Aliens
cause. Just what effect this action
will have on the delegation may not
be known until just before the first
roll call today. Several members of
the delegation are said to have told
friends they will not vote for Wood so
long they are in the meeting. Wood
managers have claimed fourteen votes
altho several anti-Wood men have
consented to an even more generous
proportion, provided they might be
withdrawn later.

Willis j. Bailey, former governor.
is listed to make the speech which
will put Governor Aliens name before
the convention. Under the plan which
is now being perfected Kansas will
then leave Wood and the other can
didates and throw her entire twenty
votes to the governor.
New evidences of support of Gov
ernor Allen were reported during the
hours preceding the nominating
speeches. None of this support. tho,
seems available until after preliminary
balloting. 1t is probable the boom to
make the governor the dark horse
choice of the convention may be
launChed dIter the SSCOnQ OF lHlI u

Labor Plank Is Weak.
There was a little new joy in the
heart of William Allen White after
the Republican resolutions committee
had given some new concessions on
the industrial expression. The plank
as adopted, tho. is far from the strong
expression demanded by friends of the
labor court law 1t recognizes the
right of collective bargaining. discour-
ages strikes among persons engaged N
government work and pledges suppor;
of a Republican administration Ito the
cause of arbitration where both sides
favor such a move.
There was an outburst of enthusiasm
when Senator Watson read the first
expression on the strike question, but
this demonstration died and the gal
leries were quiet as the measure pro-
ceeded to the "mush and milk" stage.

MAXIM SILENCER" FOR SHIPS


Eight ships now sailing the Pacific

siiencers, weighing 5000 pounds each.
the Invention OF Hiram Percy Maxim,
famous as the inventor OF the gun
silencer bearing his name. II success
full. this newest Maxim silencer" may
stimulate the tendency toward general
substitution Of the speedier, more
economical, oil-burnlng vessels driven
by the super-powerful engines OF the
Diesel type. for the present-day
steamers.
"The motor-driven ship Is the ship
OF the future" Mr.. Maxim said recent
ly. However, In the past
there has been one great disadvant-
age. the terrific noise OF the motors.
The new silencer we expect will solve
that problem"
Mr. Maxim said that, inasmuch as
his patents have not been issued. he
cannot disclose the construction Of his
new Invention. However, In general
principle II is not unlike other Maxim
silencers, depending on accomplishing
Its work by absorbing the recoil and
hence silencing the terrific exhaust.
Mr.. Maxim says II is not dissimilar in
design TO the smaller Maxim silencers
on the market for several years for
use on motor and power boats.

THE TRUTH AT LAST

The candor Of Chairman Bedford of
Standard Oil on the Mexican question
y pleasant deviation from the usual.
We are accustomed to being told that
America must take charge of Mexico
IN order To protect American lives
there. We must maintain order for
Aexico's good. Mr.. Bedford tells us
SnAt we must have new policy with
Mexico in order to get Mexican oil for
ourselves.
This desire and need for Mexican oil
10 the real reason for much of the
American feeling about Mexico. II is
Q real reason too. We do need Mexi-
cen oil. America has developed vast
machinery depending on oil for fuel.
Mexico has great oil deposits. We
would like to have our share of the
Mexican oil lands. The Carranza gov
ernment obstructed the profitable use
Of these oil properties. That is one of
the reasons for the steady opposition
70 the Cairanza government in the
United States.
1t has been n deficit of American
foreign policy that it has not been
openly enough realistic. We cover
over our economic aims with fine
phrases. Instead of admitting TO our
seies that we were headed for Mexican
cdl. We talked of Mexican order and
American lives. We shall get along
much better with Mexico il we follow
Chairman Bedford's example and cali

NON-PARTISAN
LEAGUE DREAM

The rising interest rates are giving
the Non-Partisan league oranizcrs new
campaign material. The arguments
are advanced that in North Dakota the
farmers only pay 6 per cent and that
state owned banks operated with tax
payers money would lower rates to all.
They say that IL the government bor-
rows at less than per cent, the in
dividual should get it at the same rate.
Here is where their argument falls
down. Due to changed world condi-
tiops the government cannot get mon
ey at per cent, let alone for less.
It's treasury certificates to meet cur
rent expenses are selling at 5 IA to
5 1-2 per cent and Liberty bonds are
ut discount to net around 6 per cent
or better. The strongest industrial
corporations are paying from to s
per cent.
All the Non-Partisan league state
owned banks cannot change the world
interest rates though their arguments
to the uninformed may collect $1,000
dues.

dustries in North Dakota will find
they have TO pay going interest rates

The President failed to ask Congress

Of 1919-1920 when II could be had for

Tho Food Control bill known as the
Lever act, under which the Cuban crop

The McNary bill passed Congress
last December and extended the life Of

GOVERNMENT OWNERSHIP

By our little experiment in overtime
government shipbuilding our country
stands to lose two billions of dollars.
Yet, there are millions of careless and
academic Americans who uphold the
idea.
By our little experiment in govern
ment operation of railroads congress
mulcts the taxpayers of two millions
for a deficit. Yet Gompers and the
whole railroad brotherhood say its al
right and want more of il.
Senator Smoot of Utah has evidence
that many millions of dollars have
been overpaid on war insurance under
government operation by the bureau
that has charge of insurance for SOL
diers and their beneficiaries and yet
we have extensive clamors for state
and federal government taking over
insurance.
Gompers is going to the national
convention and advocate more govern
ment ownership for purposes of opera
ton, as he calls it. Investors and peo-
pie who plan expenditures might as
well take notice.
