The New Senate "Soviet" Hopeful Sign

to discuss progressive legislation and legislation for
farmers. AS high as 26 senators have participated
in some of the meetings, and they always bring out
from 18 to % senator's The caucus or "soviet,"
the reactonaries contemptuousy call it, was form
ed primarily to work out agreements as to progress
sive and agricultural legislation which the sena-
tors interested will stand back of as unit, with
every chance of being the balance of power in the
upper house.
1t is remarkable that these southern and western
senators have been able to break down party lines
and wipe out the line dividing the North and the
South. In the first place they agreed not to take up
any legislation proposed legislation, which like
the tariff, was direct party issue. Secondly they
agreed to lay off all propositions which the
North and the South could noR agree upon, which
does not include much in the way of agricultural
legislation, since the problem of the southern
farmer is practically the that of his north
ern brother.
Senator E. F. Ladd of North Dakota, Nonparti-
san Lacquer, is a prominent member of this new
senate group. Capper of Kansas and La Toilette
of Wisconsin two other leaders, Senator Ken
yon of Iowa presided over recent typical meeting
of the "soviet," at which the following senators
were present:
The Republicans were w. S. Kenyon of Iowa.
Frank Gooding of Idaho, R. N Stanield of Oregon,
J. w. Harreld of Oklahoma, E. F. Ladd of North
Dakota, Bursum of New Mexico, C. L. McNary of
Oregon, G. w. Norris of Nebraska, Arthur Capper
of Kansas, R. M. La Toilette of Wisconsin, S. P.
Spencer of Missouri, Peter Norbeck of South Da-
kota and w. L. Jones of Washington.

J. B. Kendrick of Wyoming, Pat Harrison of Mis-

pard of Texas.
According to informed observers this group is
g.
bringing about open break in the old parties and
a new alignment in which old party lines will van
ish and senators will line up progressives
against conservatives. The group lost of it's

ALLURE of leading farmer organiza-

retary of Agriculture Wallace and
Secretary of Commerce Hoover to pro-
vide a plan whereby farmers could
have more extensive storage facilities
The nonpartisan leader., 1921-07-11
PUBLIC WAREHOUSES;
ARE NECESSARY

Where the warehouse receipt
plan has been most successful
and Of the greatest possible
benefit to the farmers, as in
Louisiana and at Seattle, WASH,
the storage facilities are public
ly owned and storage rates thus
fixed at actual cost, with no
profit to any one. This is the
North Dakota plan and is the
plan that will be worked out in
the state of New York, which is
building state-owned elevators.
Publicly owned elevators do not
play favorites and the storage
capacity is open on like terms
to all. Despite laws to the con-
trary, middlemen usually get
better rates and better treatment
from private warehouses, eleva-
tors and cold storage plants than
producers, because of their busi-
ness connections with the banks,
etc.
Many states now have laws
providing for the issuance of
warehouse receipts to farmers
on stored products. These legal
ly safeguarded certificates have
helped the farmer to get credit
on his crop while he is holding it
for an opportune marketing
time, but the difficulty is always
to find a ready credit-a place
where the farmer can borrow
the money on his warehouse re-

JOHN (JoHANNEs) REMsEN,
1793-1868, spent his entire life
in Flatlands where he married
Catherine Schenck, daughter of
Tunis Schenck, a member of
the General Assembly of New
York. Remsen, throughout a
long and active life, took a great
interest and an active part in
local affairs, serving for many
years as a magistrate. He was
a man well fitted for leadership
and his court rulings were mod
els of honesty and impartiality.
Remsen was particularly promi-
nent in religious matters, serving
on the Official Board of the
Reformed Dutch Church of
Flatlands.

newspaper from the time it was found
ed by Jay and recalled the contemporary
history as he followed the story OF the
Commercial.
Alexander Hamilton was then Sec
retary of the Treasury he said, laying
down those foundations of the economic
life of America which still endure, TO
which we still adhere, or should adhere
Hamilton was the one man in the Gov
ernment OF that day who yisualized the
Importance OF commerce, the Importance
of the service Government could do for
commerce. He had proposed that the
Cabinet should be composed OF five
members-that is, Foreign Affairs. War,
Trea sury. Interior and Trade. And de-
spite the cogent reasons that Hamilton
enunciated for the creation of the last
department 1t was nearly 100 years be-
fore the con>lercial men OF the United
States realized that necessity into actual
legislation.
Mr. Hoover then said: THE risks of
business and therefore the volume Of
business depend in a large degree on
the accuracy and the completeness of
commercial intelligence. In fact our
commercial and our Industrial system
can march only on a knowledge OF con-
cluded bargains, upon accurate informa-
tion as to the forces that influence
price, as TO the supply. the demand
and the movement OF commodities
The preparation and the determination
the dissemination of this intelligence is
to-day almost as complex and as intri-
cate as commerce itself, and these SER
vices are as yet by no means perfect

bargains in the market, the new devel-
opments in industry. II gives wealth OF
other commercial information, but with
the complexity OF our commercial and
Industrial life the great fund of neces-
sary information on production, on CON-
sumption, on stocks, on prices, on the
ebb and flow of economic currents. both
from home and abroad, cannot be effec-
lively collected by one individual or one
institution.
