its needs and problems.
Twenty men realizing and studying
a common problem, will reach a solu-

men working alone.
II. TO conserve the experience of the
community.
The conservation Of human exper-
ence is the enc most necessary ana
important of conservations. Every
person learns a few things, al least in
the course Of a lifetime that are worth
society's conserving.
III. To serve as a clearing house for
the experience, wants and ideas of

That which can best be done by the
individual should be left to the indiv-

the community should be done by the
community.
V. To serve as a receiving and dis
tributing agency for the knowledge
and inspiration of the outside world.
The lack Of such agency has been
one Of the great weaknesses Of the ex-

agriculture.
VI To Crystallize and register the
opinion of the community concern

The community voice on community
needs and action should be heard,

Inspiration Is usually more needed

fellows in his address before the In
dianapolis convention:
Our banking has just grown follow
ing lines of least resistance and great

We have developed a system which
says to the farmer, We will loan you
money to produce your crop; we will
support you for the productive season
and WREN the season is over you will
sell that which you produce
THE productive season is one OF
hazard; always, to farmer and banker,
but when chat season is over, Mr..
Banker says to the farmer, You mar
ket all that you have produced o

And the farmer has done it and
because more products have been
thrown upon the market at one time
than the stomach of the American
people can digest at that n time, the
load depressa IS the market. The banks
take that money which we have gotten
on the depressed market and loans to
the speculator who buys the stuff at
the low price and markets it turnout
the cOnsumptive year, always at a pro-
fit. The least which we can demand
in asserting our rights is that we have
a credit as farmers which will extend
not owe the productive year alone but
turnout the consumptive year in order
that we may market our crops orderly.
I'VE must go to our banks and de-
mand that, not as a privilege, but as
our right, and not until we get that
right are We ready to proceed definite,
iy and c~onciusively with any market

There are several ways in which
this may be brought about. We have

TRANSPORTATION SITUATION
REMEDY WANTED FOR ALARMING

just as it had been written by rail-
road officials. 1t is so generous in
it's provisions that "the moral sense
of mankind" has been shocked. 1t
is the last word in corporate greed
and arrogance. And yet the remedy
for the railroad malady has not been
found. The languish in spite of the
stimulation of government subsidies
and eXorbitant transportation charges.
The remedy is government owner
ship. That saved the situation when
the national welfare was in peril. 1t
can again save the situation. 1t
must come as the inevitable next
step.
The transportation problem is fun
damental. 1t cannot be reached with
palliatives. Congress must go to the
seat of the trouble, and there it
will find cancer that has poisoned
the entire system and forecast the
end of private control.
Congress will act when the people
demand it. And the people are 60
ing to demand it, long and mistakenly,
when they realize that they have
been buncoed by the propagandists of
the banker-speculator owners of rail-
road property.

Main Labor Wants
Health Insurance

Augusta, Maine, August %. - A
campaign for the passage of work
mems health insurance bill has been
launched by the Maine State Fedora
ton of Labor, following two resolu-
tions unanimously adopted at its re-
cent annual convention at Waterville,
calling for the universal health in
surance plan and instructing the leg
islative committee to work for its
adoption.
sickness, which each year affects
one-fifth of the adult workers, is the
most prolific source of poverty" de-
clares the Federation's resolution.
even the fear of sickness and its
disastrous effects undermines the
well-being of the workers. The
workers, through the trade unions
and fraternal organizations, have
made heroic efforts to meet this
crying need of the wage earners.
In these sick benefit plans, the
workers bear the entire expense, al
though industry is in part response
bic for the sickness among workers. {"
The universal plan is endorsed by
the Federation because compulsory
health insurance will "bring sickness
protection to all workers" and will
place upon industry its just share
of the cost of such insurance"
The Federation insists that the
workmen's health insurance law fur
nish sickness protection at actual
cost, with all private profits by stock
insurance companies absolutely pro-
hibited.
"Such a measure" the resolution
says, SHOULD embrace medical care
and cash benefits during illness, and
funeral benefit; should provide for
active participation, of the workers
in the management and for demo-
cratic administration; and should ex-
clude all interference by the com
mercial insurance interests"
A second resolution refers to the
benefits of the State Workmen's
Compensa ton law ''to safeguard the
wage learners from the results of in
dustrial accidents" and urges the
adoption of "health insurance laws
which have been proven by expert
ence to be an efficient means of pro-
tecting wage-earners from Sickness"
With this advanced action a total
of more than q state declarations of
labor and 80 national labor organiza-
lions are now on record in favor of
workmen's health insurance legisla-
ton.
