DISCUSSES FARM PROBLEMS

Remember that the good farmer
has large sense Of social service. The
conscientious farmer leaves his land
to his sons and to society just as pros
ductive as it was when he found it.
Farming must be made a good business
if the interests of society are to be
served"
These were among the succint state
ments made by DIR. Liberty H. Bailey,
educator, publicist and authority on
things agricultural, in an address de-
|livered Wednesday evening before a
large crowd of farmers and house
keepers in attendance at sessions be-
ing held by the University of Idaho
Taking as his subject, Farming as
Mode of Life,' DR.. Bailey explained in
detail those changes of the past 20
years which have raised the farmers
standard of living, increased his pride
in his occupation and vastly augment
ed his self-respect Scientific know
ledge, extension of credit and expan-
sion of markets, plus the fact that pop
ulation has overtaken production,
were the elements which he stressed
particularly.
"Do> not forget" he said, that eve
rything the farmer adds to his home
enhances the value of his farm. The
farm home, unquestionably one of the
strongest in society, must be preserv-
ed as cooperative enterprise in dem
ocracy."

PERNICIOUs PROFITEERING.

Associated Press dispatches recent
ly told of record sale of rice in CAL
ifornia at $40 per 100 pounds. An
enormous amount of rice had been
pooled and the amount sold was sew
eral hundred thousand sacks. The
price paid to the producer was the
highest on record. Yet we, less than
| 1000 miles from the place where this
rice was grown and sold, are paying
10 to 171a cents a pound for rice.
Is there any wonder that farmers
are threatening to reduce production
and that we are warned by the federal
government that crop production in
the United States this year promises
to be far below normal? When prof
iteers get as much for delivering the
products from the producer to the
tconsumer as the producer gets for a
years work and investment in land
and seed and machinery and other ex-
penses, something is radically wrong
Questionnaires were sent out to
100000 farmers in the United States
asking for suggestions in regard to
agricultural conditions. More than
10000 replies have been received and
95 per cent of these replies are pess-
imistic in the extreme. Complaint is
made that the farmer gets but small
per cent of the price paid by the con-
sumer for his products while the cost
OF production is steadily mounting.
High wages take not only the farm
help but the farmers sons and daugh-
ters to the cities where they earn
(and spend) more money and have a
"gayer time than on the farm
With no government guarantee of
prices and the farmers knowing they
will be at the mercy Of hungry specul-
ators who were shut off from specula-
tioon to- some extent during the war,
the outlook for the agricultural inter
ests is far from bright this year.

Here in Moscow highway district
!. where S375,000 bonds were voted for
, highway construction and the prelin1-
mary work is all done and ready for

ed with having the work held up while
endless discussions about minor mat
ters are INDUCED Moscow is too
small to play the role the United
States senate and President Wilson
are playing. We cannot afford it. We
will feel the direct results OF such
tactics if we permit them here.
The people voted for highway. They
authorized the issuance OF $375,0O0
bonds with which to build these high
ways They indicated their preference
for highway commissioners Although
Moscow pays two-thirds of the tax
every member of the highway board
was farm owner or farm operator.
The governor appointed the men who
were recommended and these men en-
ployed an engineer recommended by
the chief engineer of the state, who
said: you people are very fortunate
to secure the services of Mr.. Monahan.
/ know him well. He worked with me
in France and / regard him as one OF
the most competent men in the west.
This recommendation came from the
highest engineering authority in the
state, who knows engineering and
knows Mr.. Monahan. 1t should be
convincing.
What we need now, in Moscow high
way district is harmony and the sup
port of our citizens for the highway
commissioners and the men that they
have employed to do the work. We,
the common people of the district,
are not engineers. If we were we
would be working on some of the
many highway projects that are call
ing for engineers and offering high
salaries instead of warming chairs in
loafing resorts. Not being engineers
we must trust to men who are engl-
neers to do the work of building our
roads
If we were road builders we would
not have been content to use the mis-
cradle dirt and mud roads that have
been used in Latah county for 40
years. The county has been organized
that long and it failed to build roads.
Nowslet those who failed so significant |

have been trained in modern road

as the people want it done and as it
was agreed it should be done when
the bonds were voted, the preliminary |

the project statements prepared. We |
are all ready to build roads now. The |
plans have been adopted, the mach

not change now and go back to the I'M

EXPELLING SOCIALISTS.

The expulsion of five socialists
elected to the New York Legislative as
sembly, or rather the refusal to seat
them, has caused an immense amount
of comment and the legislature, which
is overwhelmingly republican, is be-
ing bitterly attacked. Many misrep-
reservations are made in the reports
of the case. Those defending the So
cialists are claiming that they are re-
fused a seat because they are neither
republicans or democrats. This is far
from the truth. They were refused
seats in the law making body because
they had signed a pledge to be gov
erned by the socialist party leaders
They are not free to vote, think and
