Populist Theories
Revived By Banker

Washington, June 4.-Government
warehouses, urged by Populists 80
years ago, was favored by Presi-
dent Kent, of the Passaic On. JD
Merchants bank at a meeting of the
newly-formed stable money league.
The meeting was attended by
economists, bankers and lawmakers.
Instead of hooting the Passaic citi-
zen, as was the custom 80 years ago
when a so-called "bewhiskered pop
ulist" spoke, Mr.. Kent was elected
vice president of the organization.
His most sensational statement
was the proposal to take the money
value out of gold.
He favored plan to establish
government warehouses wherein
could be deposited iron, coal, cloth,
wheat, leather and similar commo-
dities that are susceptible to storage
without undue deterioration within
a limited period.
The speaker said there are strong
time to establish such warehouses
in order to take the control of vital
products out Of the hands of certain
classes of middlemen.
"The number of commodities Sc
lected should be small enough to
keep the scheme simple" said the
speaker. at should be large enough
to guard against any violent effect,
upon the value of the aggregate due
to a failure in the crop, such as cot
ton, or to crop failure in a geogra-
phical section, such as a readily
imaginable case in which the south
might have very bad year in cot
ton, tobacco and grain.
"A suitable composite unit should
be constructed, perhaps with ref
ence to the average consumption of
normal family for a year. A GER
tificate should be issued upon the
deposit of due proportions of the
chosen commodities. The dollar
should then be defined in terms of
the unit aggregate of these COM
modities and of fractions of the
unit"

Debts Owed America
Shifted to People?

Washington, June 25.-Plans are
being discussed to refund this ma
TONS war loans to the allies. Ike
fund.- is the term financial inter-
ests use when they want to post
pone the payment Of debt, by OK
tending the date when due
The nations allied with America
during the war owe this govern
ment $10,000,0OO,OO 900 and have signed
acknowledgements to this effect.
These acknowledgements bear inter
est, which has not been paid, and
now totals approximately Sl,OOO,-
100000, or one-tenth Of the loan.
1t is stated that the interest charges
are increasing at the rate Of S5OO,-
600, 900 a year.
1t is now proposed that the vari-
Gus allied nations issue bonds and
sell them to the American people at
rate of interest so high that they
will be quickly disposed Of. The
money secured from the sale of
these bonds will be used by the va
rious countries to pay their debt to
the American government.
Some people are asking If these
countries can motor will not-pay
their debts or interest to the Amer
lean government, will they pay
when the debt is transferred to
citizens?
Large American financial inter-
ests seem to favor the refunding
plan. Juicy commissions will be
paid for selling these bonds to the
people.

Government Costly

Washington, June 4.-Congres-
sional tax committees have unearthed
sensational figures on the cost of
government in this country. This
includes federal, state, city, town,
village and borough.
Figuring the government charge
in average, the committees find that
last year it cost every wage Garner
in the United States-and that term
includes the salaried men and wom-
en-about $210. Some officials be-
lieve that it costs more than that.
In other words, out of every dol
lar the wage Garner gets, the gov
eminent takes 1919 cents.
In an article written on this sub
iect by Harden Colfax, and pub
lished in the Washington Post, it
is declared that "peace time never
knew such monumental cost of gov
eminent before"
while the cost Of living has fall
en- far from the peak it occupied
IL months ago." says this writer,
cost of government still stands
perched upon its Hottest eminence,
barring the days when the country
was at war and maintaining a huge
army, building a navy and sup
porting the allied world with it's
loans.
"This cost is too much; and how
10 make it less is going to cause
many headaches and not a few hot
verbal encounters on the floor of
congress during the days near at
hand"

Saving Babies
In New Zealand

Over one-fourth of the babies
born in New Zealand, the children
Of well-to-do as we'll as of poor par
ents. are reached by the infant well
fare measures in force in that
country. How effective these meas
ures have been in saving the lives
of babies is shown in a striking
manner in a summary of a forth
coming report, Infant Mortality
and Preventive Work in New Zea-
land" just made available by the
U. S. Department of Labor through
the Children's Bureau.
In a period of as years, accord
ing to this report, the infant NOR
tally rate in New Zealand has been
more than cut in half until now it
is the lowest rate of any country
in the world. Dunring the last ten
years the rate of decrease has been
almost double what it was for the
preceding decade. Within Is years
the mortality from gastric and
intestinal diseases, the most deadly
of all diseases to babies, has been
reduced four fifths. The rate of
decrease in respiratory diseases dur
ing the past Is years has been over
three times the rate of decrease
during the preceding twenty. There
has been slight decrease during
the past few years even in deaths
from diseases of early infancy.
While a mild climate, and favor
able housing and economic condi-
tons, the report points out, may ex-
plain the low rate in New Zealand,
these factors alone cannot explain
the decrease which has taken place.
Beginning in holland covering the
period in which there was the great
est decline, the government has
given special attention to the prob

Police Power of the
State MiscOnStrued
american Federation of Labor
News Letter.

N-NlICi III al ItttldllOil VI l<dbOl
News Letter.
"a. +. of l.. News letter.
The Kansas supreme court has
upheld Governor Aliens cant
strike law on the theory that the
act "is a valid exercise of the po-
lice power of the state and that
it does not violate the federal con-
stitution, which prohibits involun-
tary servitude.
This use of a states police pow
er indicates the length some courts
will go if special interests were I'M
challenged in it's manufacture of
an artificial public opinion.
Health laws, the destruction of
diseased food, protection of public
morality and all forms of social
legislation and regulation are func-
tions of police power of the state.
This power has never been rig
idly defined. Courts decline to set
its limitations, for the very good
reason that it rests on education,
experience and the peoples well
fare.
1t is a common-sense fiction thaU
must be supported by strong,
solid, enlightened public opinion be.
fore courts apply it.
In short, the police power of
state legalizes what the public as
a whole accept.
The Kansas supreme court now
declares that the "can't-strike" law
can stand this test. The court
necessarily gets into deeper water
when it takes this position, and
rules that it is not involuntary
servitude when workers are jailed if
they quit their employment.
1t seems incredible that a su.
preme court would say this law is
sustained by public opinion, as I'M
derstood and defined.
This view might be expected from
police magistrate or village
justice of the peace, whose view
points are limited to their iuris-
dictions and to the views of secret
political hackers.
A state supreme court, however,
is not supposed to ignore facts.
This court is blind to the unani-
nous rejection of "can't-strike"
laws by every other legislature
that has been asked to approve
same.
1t overlooks opposition to the law
in its own state, where organized
labor, organized farmers and an in
creasing number of business men
refuse to accept the act.
1t takes no notice of hostility of
many Kansas legislators and the
growing conviction of thinking
Kansas citizens that the act was
inspired by big business, and that
the numerous increases in rates
charged by public utility corpora
lions sustain their suspicion.
The court failed to balance these
facts against the tom tom beating
of Allen cohorts, the sophistry of
! special interests and the shrieks of
its venal press.
The Kansas state supreme court
has failed to interpret sound pub
lie opinion of that state and when
the "can't-strike" law is repealed
this estimate will be verified.
Labor can hasten this day by
greater agitation for human liberty
and social justice.
The police power of the state is
an educational process that wage
earners must assist in developing.
This power must never be used
against human liberty.
1t must not be defense for
slavery
If this educational process is sur
rendered to special privilege and
its political agents, decisions like
the present one will result.
Agitate. Educate! Organize!

PROGRESS OF THE PRINTS

The prints" of old,
Like warriors bold,
Worked many hours each day;
And for their pains,
2 And trifling gains,
Were early laid in clay.
Then the l. T. U.

And planned for shorter hours;
Which it has gained,
While battles reigned,
Tho it mere abused it's powers.
We built a home,
For those who roam,
In health and spirit broken;
And in this world
Was ne'er unfurled
Tho it ne'er abused it's powers.
Lives of our men,
Tween now and then,
Have been so much extended,
That not one print
Gives sigh or CLINT,
For the money thus expended.
Once. virtual slaves
Unto our graves,
We now have better sailing;
At forty-eight,
We struck a gait,
That proved we were not failing
Now for forty-four-
None should work more
Well battle till we win it;
And then on earth,
Mix work with mirth,
Naught else has life within it.
