Meeting Executive
nc 0mmitteeOfLocal
American R. Cross

The executive committee OF the
lical chapter OF the American Red
Cross met Monday afternoon OF this
week. The main feature of the
meeting was report from Miss Ra-
dermacher, the Red Cross public
health nurse in regard to the work
being done by her. Reports of the
public health work will hereafter BIZ
made to the people of the county be-
cause at this meeting Miss RAIDER
macher was authorized to appoint
a publicity committee to assist her
in regard to her work as she has
planned it for the future.
While no definite action was TAX
en- at this meeting, the committee
feels that the local Red Cross has
the services Of wide-awake pro-
gressive worker in the interest Of
public health. The people should
know this, and be able to give her
intelligent cooperation. If there
are things about the work that you
do not understand. or If you have
any suggestion to make. Miss Rader-
macher will be willing to discuss
matters with you whenever oppor-
tunity offers.
To those who have cooperated
with the Red Cross by renewing
their memberships each year, the
executive committee wants to ad-
dress a few words. Is the chapter
still active? Is 1t doing anything?
Well, look at the above paragraph
again. and remember that the Red
Gross is financing the public health
work. You will understand that 1t
is not an inexpensive undertaking.
And it is the main activity of your
chapter at the present time. The
executive committee voted to spend
the money donated by the people Of
the county during the war and after
the war in this way becuse it be-
lieves in the work. considers it the
most directly beneficial way of spend
ing the money entrusted to it By
the Red Cross membership of the
county. The chapter has a nursing
committee on which there is mem
Der from each branch to assist Miss
Radermacher in the work. The ex.
ecutive committee is enthusiastical.
ly in favor Of this work, and wants
the people Of the county to assume
the same attitude, so that some
thing may be accomplished for the
good Of all.
In addition to what has beer
done in the public health line, the
chapter has had numerous items Of
expense in 1921, as for instance
$500 sent to assist in equipping the
dormitory for disabled soldiers a
Brookings, soldier boy at SUNNI,
was sent to hospital and $95 paii
out for him. Two families near New
Ellington were assisted with $5o.s;
and $54. These have been the MAR
items Of expense so far in 1921, ant
are mentioned SO that the people o.
the county may know that the loca

the necessary things as they pre-
sent themselves in accordance Will

eoads to private management and for
:he Esch-C ummins law.
The plan submitted by the associa-
ion Of security owners, known as the
Warfield plan, has for its object the
awnings found to be possible under the
operation of the roads as unit dur
ng the war.
The interstate commerce commits
sion would select five Of it's members
% constitute an active service division
and have almost complete power over
he railroads Of the country. This
service division Of government officers
would function through q board of 40
members.
Subordinate to this group of 10
would be four group railway boards,
sne for each Of the four rate terrific
aes-Eastern, Southern, Western and
Mountain Pacific. Each Of these group
boards would be made up of seven
uen, five appointed by the railroads in
he territory and two by shipping in
.erests.
"Unless intensive economical meth
sds in railway operation are adopted, ;"
nys Warfield, there 10 no alternative
sut government operation, followed by
government ownership"
PRESENT SYSTEM OUTWORN
Again he says that American trans
sortation has outgrown the system
snder which It now operates, and thus
odds his testimony to the other evil
hence Of the vicious folly Of the Esch-
sSummins law which returned the
soads to the outworn system.
The banking syndicates which con-
rol most Of the railroad officials have
zen fobbing not only the public and
The government but those who own
stock in the roads. After the specula-
i've squirt occasioned by the passing

most Of the stock may not like gov

worse to see their property being con-
seated for the profit Of others.
Favoritism to big shippers in which
he Morgan banking syndicate is in
crested, congestion Of export trade in

Congressman Esch of Wisconsin to
the interstate commerce commission
under what is known rs . recess ap-
pointment.
Senator La Toilette succeeded IN
preventing the confirmation Of the ap-
pointment Of Esch in the recent ses-
sion and he is expected to make
another fight when the new session
opens.
Esch undoubtedly had assurances
from the Republican machine that he
would be taken care Of or he would
not have misrepresented his progress
sive constituency by helping to frame
the notorious Esch- Cummins act.
EXTRA SESSION ON APRIL II
April IL is the date on which the ex-
pected extra session Of congress is to
start.
There is much debating evidently
among Republican leaders as to
whether higher tariffs OF more taxes
should be the first thing to be consid-
cred by the new congress. And this
issue is good indication of about how
seriously the new congress will con-
slider the great problems confronting
our plain people.
1t will act on the avowed theory
that nothing new should be done, and
we can hardly expect it to act con-
trary to its belief and inclinations.
The great majority Of congress rep
resents the class which is well pleased
with the world just as it is, except that
farmers are becoming too radical and
labor is getting too high wages. The
world is far better, in fact, than it was
before the war because their profits
are larger.
THE SILESIAN PLEBISCITE
The province of Silesia has Just
been through the devastating expert
ence Of deciding by popular vote
whether il would be Polish or German.
II one could imagine our New England
states made up about equally Of Cana
dams and citizens of the United States
and the excitement that would take
place in the event that they were to
vote as to whether they should belong
to Canada or the United States, he can
get some idea Of what Silesia has lust
been through.
And now after it has endured these
things and has heritage of awakened
race feeling for years to come, we
learn that the popular vote will not
amount to much. We learn that the
allies have decided to divide up the
province and give the Poles such parts
Of it Is contain the great iron ore and
coal deposits. It would appear that
Silesia could have been spared "arm-
ede peace for the last year if this
policy had been announced from the
beginning.
OILY DIPLOMACY
A new angle to the settlement of
our dispute with Colombia has APP
peared. Two or three oil exploration
companies, in 1T least one Of which
Secretary Of the Treasury Mellon is
heavily interested, are trying to get
concessions on oil territory in Colom-
bia.
It seems that they already have the
concessions, provided that Colombia
gets the $25. 900 900 she has been ask.
ing for to compensate for the loss Of
Panama. Many Americans have felt
that this payment ought to be made
to ease our conscience on the methods
