ably, should large number of wheat
growers fail to sow crop, and the
result be considerable increase in
the bushel price, the farmers who
grow crops as usual would be the
ones to profit from that fact and not
those who caused the rise by not put
ting In wheat.
This fact has been the chief rock
on which combinations Of producers
have been wrecked in the past. HUI
man nature will have its way in
spite Of organizations and agree
ments. Holding back wheat already
produced is quite another matter.
That Is merely exercising business
judgment as to when to sell. II it
results in Il better price the producer
gets it. The producer who is not
in financial position to select his
market in that way is In the same
class with the small manufacturer
who must make quick turnover Of
his product in order to keep going.
The other action Is a call for a
convention Of delegates from all or
CARNATIONS of farmers to meet in
st. Louis December 10. for the pur-
pose Of creating national farm mar
keting board This Is constructive
and points toward better agricultur-
al conditions.

STOP IMMIGRATION

Ole Hansen, the fighting mayor OF
Seattle, is home from trip to Europe
and advocates the entire stopping of
immigration for at least both for our
good and for that of Europe. He
says:
at is true that most of Europe is
DESTROYS Of coming here. 1t Is true
that hundreds Of thousands are on
fheir way here new. 1t Is true that
as long as the European feels that
he can get here he will not settle
down to work in his own country and
rebuild. II you want to stabilize
conditions in Europe. let the people
understand they must go 20 work in
Europe and not come here to increase
unemployment. We cannot assimi-
hate any more folks at present. We
should pass this selective immigra-
fion law and select among the appll-
cants those folks we need. I have
spoken for over twelve months on
this subject, and the people are for

TWO FARM MOVEMENTS

Two actions have been recon-
mended by the National Farmers
Union in communication sent out
from Kansas City to local unions all
over the country, said to have a
membership Of 100000.
One Of them Is destructive and the
other constructive. The destructive
plan is strike Of producers Of grain,
cotton, wool and meat to reduce pro-
ductiOn, with the expectation that
such decrease In the United States
supply would raise the prices Of such
products. Undoubtedly the farmers
have the same legal right to let their
farms lie idle or change them from
one crop to another that ma nufac-
turers have to close down their plants
or stop making one thing and begin
making another. Properly speaking
the farmer Is manufacturer. He is
an intelligent and successful one to
the degree that he produces below
selling price and markets to the best
advantage.
If he is not making success with
one product 1t Is but common BUSINESS
sense to change to another II greater
success seems likely. Just how much
a considerable falling off in produc-
tion in the United States. say Of
wheat, would affect the market price
nobody is wise enough to estimate In
advance. Wheat Is world price
product. Conceivably there might be a
large decrease in the United States
crop next year without any marked
rise In price, depending upon gen.
eral world conditions. Also conceiv-

CUT DOWN THE BOARDS

Gov. Allen has started on the right
track in his proposition to cut out q
lot Of useless boards and consoli-
date the work of the state admins
tration. 1t Is unfortunate that Il
was not begun two years ago and
that It was not made an issue of the
campaign. The danger now IL that
the legislature will be too busy to
get intelligent results.
Kansas wastes hundreds of thou
sands Of dollars every year by its
multiplicity Of boards and in not re-
qulring that there be fewer depart
ments with every man on the job all
the time. Taxes increase enormous
~ but nothing is done about 1t. The
legislature pays itself $4,000 for
postage and thinks It all right; state
officers are allowed to live away from
the capital and run their own bust
ness when their time is due the
state; too many boards are giving
only half time on half pay when
they should do more work and receive
full pay.
Kansas has some fifty or sixty
boards all drawing pay and expenses
