EDITORIAL OPINION OF
IDAHO EDITORS
AMERICANS THE BEST FARMERS
Irwin Falls Chronicle)

| Some people have been surprised by
the request of a district In Armenia,
that representative American farmers
be sent there to teach the natives
American methods of agriculture by
operating a 1000-acre tract offered for
that purpose. There is an impression
among people who have not followed
rural developments in this country
that America herself needs instruction
in farming.
Americans can still learn something
about intensive farming from some
other countries. But in the sort of
farming that has hitherto been the
natural, logical thing In the United
States. the cultivation Of large areas
by few workers. Americans have beat
en- the world.
Secretary Houston recently gave
some convincing figures along this
line. He showed that. contrary to
general belief, the production per acre
has been steadily increasing in recent
years. Thus for the 10-year period
ending n 1918. there was an increase
of % per cent in the production of
wheat per acre over the 10-year period
ending In 1890. A comparison OF the
same periods for corn shows an In
crease Of 10 per cent, Of oats "a per
cent, OF potatoes SO per cent. Even
weevil. has increased. The average
yield Of all crops per acre was 10 Per
cent greater for the last decade than
for the first.
Thus 1t In evident that the farmers
have not been robbing the soil Of its |
fertility. and that they have improv- |
ed their working methods.
II anyone imagines that the average |
European farmer would have got more |
out Of the average American farm. let |
him consider the additional facts sub
mitted by Secretary Houston. The
intensive European farmer. OF course.
produces more per acre on his little |
farm than the American on his big |
farm. But taking Into consideration
the thing that counts most, the pro-
duction per man. the secretary finds
that the average American farmer
produces two and one half times A
much a. the average Belgian farmer. /
20 AZ much az the English farmer. ex-
actly ~ much Is the German and over
six times q much as the italian. That
ought to settle the question

HIGHER CRITICISM.

something about dramatic criticism,
but how about this in a Dubuque pa

"A regrettable occurrence during the
play last evening, which came as a
complete surprise to the audience as
We'll as the cast, was the action of a
practical joker who threw four eggs at
Dan Haas. Although 1t was done in
the spirit of humor 1t marred slightly
an otherwise enjoyable evening. Mr..
Haas, however, has taken the incident
as it was intended, but regrets that it
came SO near to spelling the evening""

JOINT CONTROL OF THE
RAILROADS

I'm IRECTOR General Hines of the
HUI railroad administration makes a
new and somewhat startling proposal
In his suggestion there be compulsory
consolidation of the railroads into q
few great corporations before they re-
turn to private control, with the pub
lie, labor and capital represented in the
management of the systems. In his
opinion the adoption of such a plan
will block outright government owner
ship which he seems to think is not
desired by majority of the people.
Certainly Director General Hines
remarks, as made before the New York
city bar association Wednesday will
give not only the public but capital and
labor something to think about. Having
the Plumb plan in mind and the Cum
minis bill which has passed the senate,
the director general throws a monkey
wrench into the machinery. as it were,
with his new proposal.
Return of the railroads to their own
ers efter government emergency sup
ervision during the period of the war
and a year following the signing of the
armistice, is one of the big knotty
problems before the United States.
Railroad employees are restless under
the present unsettled condition witt. re-
gard to their demands 1t is generally
admitted that government management
has not been the success that was hop
ed. The owners of the roads are pre-
pared to again take up their manage
naent but during the period of reorgan-
ization they want to be given every
opportunity through favorable legis-
lation to let them get start again.
The people of the United States are
not particularly interested in who man
ages the railroads as long as fairness
is shown in rate making and the cost of
travel is not allowed to jump skyward.
They do object to unfair and unjust
rate discrimination. There Is cause
LOT complaint from the fntermountain |
country on this subject. 1t has been
grossly Disseminated against in the
past. The subject was thoroughly
threshed over in the senate during the |
debate on the Cummins bill in Decem-
Der. One Of the most vital questions
the fntermountain country must solve |
is the long and short haul discrimina-
ton which Senator Poindexter has been |
attempting to eradicate.
High and unfair freight rates and un-
reasonable and unjust passenger rates
will do more to bring about government
ownership Of railroads in the United
States than any one thing else. There
may be merit in the suggestion of d.
rector General Hines and 1t should be
given weighty consideration. What
ever the future management of these
highways of travel and transportation
there must be more fairness shown the
public. This Is a big problem and one
the proper solution of which is of vital
Importance to the people as a whole

GOVERNMENTAL EXPENDITURES

The estimates have necessarily been
thrown into congress in the old dis
order compelled by the acts and
neglects of congress itself. But it is
not too late for congress to coordinate
and consolidate the appropriating end
OF the job for the next fiscal year. An
overwhelmed taxpaying public is in no
mood to accept further excuses along
this line. 1t will insist that what can
be done shall be done.

soRAH AND LowDEN.


Senator Borah in urging all Re-
kuOlican candidates for the presidential
nomination to go on record ~ to their
attitude on the peace treaty and league
covenant. has brought results. Cover
nor Lowden Of Illinois was among the
first to reply. He makes 1t clear tina,
he thinks 1t IS the part Of wisdom to
ratify both with such reservations az
are adopted by the senate.
THE league of nations" said
Governor Lowden, 'as submitted to
the senate seems to me to be sub
ject to grave objections. These OBJ
1ections in the main, think, have
been removed by the reservations
adopted by the senate. dv not be-
lieve the time has come when we
should abandon the policy Of no en-
tangling alliances. 1t may be that
America will again deem it her
duty to participate in some foreign
war as she participated in the last,
but / think she can be depended
upon, when the time does come, to
decide for herself. through consti-
tutional means. where her duty
lies just as she did before"
Governor Lowden can now be placed
in the peace reservation column. Later
developments will show where other
presidential aspirants wish to stand in
taking their candidacy before the next
national convention.
The New York World, which has been
an ardent and persistent champion of
President Wilson and probably the
leading newspaper in the country in
attacking those opposed to the treaty
and covenant as presented to the senate
for ratification. including Senator
Borah. holds that the challenge Of Ida
hos senior senator. Is honest and sin
cere and that unlike Senator Lodge,
he is not bluffing but proposes to make
the treaty ratification presidential
campaign issue in reality. This stand,
the World holds. is logical and consist
ant and should win the admiration of
the electors in the United States.
I'm making this challenge" says
the World, Senator Borah is per-
forming a highly meritorious pub
lie service. Republicans who pro-
fess to favor the treaty with the
Lodge reservations have been ac- j
cusing the president of selling out
the United States to Great Britain
ar France. Either they believe
their own charges or they do not.
II they believe them, they are moral
towards If they vote for the ratifi-
cation of such treaty of peace
regardless Of reservations. II they
do not believe them, they are en-
gagged in a plot to deceive the
American people.
Senator Borah's position is logi-
cal and consistent. He is not out
to fight the president of thu United
States but to fight a treaty in
which he thinks this country should
refuse to participate, and he de-
mands that Republican candidates
20 on record. This is wholesome
proceeding. aud although the World
disagrees with practically every
thing that Senator Borah has said
about the treaty. it respects the
conscience and courage that he /
displays when he declares that Re-
publican candidates must stand up
and be counted on this question of
principle"
