TO INSURE JOBLESS

The Wisconsin legislature will be asked
to pass bill providing compensation for
the idle workmen. It provides that any
workingman who has worked for six
months and who is unemployed through no
fault of his own will be paid $1.00 per day
during period not exceeding thirteen
weeks.
Y Public employment offices will be main
tanned and at any time the workman who
is receiving compensation can be COM
PEELED to accept POSITION secured for him
by the board or forfeit his compensation.
The state industrial commission will
have the administration of the bill in
charge and the money will come from in
surance policies, which each employer will
be compelled to carry for the unemploy
ment of his force the same way that ac-
cident insurance is being carried.
Wisconsin was the first state to adopt
the workingman's compensation law and
it is probable that it will be the first to
adopt an unemployment law.
The Badger state has habit of trying
out new things first and other states will
no doubt be willing to let them give this
new one fair trial.

Openly Soliciting Alliance;
Demand is Now Coming
+: From All Glasses
GOVERNMENT ATTITUDE
ON SUBJECT LACKING
Italy =: is Very Distrustful
of France and Racial
Antipathy Exists
(By Henry Wood)


Omitted Press Staff Correspondent
Rome, Nov. 25-Italy is frankly
and openly soliciting an alliance with
England.
From leading statesmen like Nitti,
who desire such a lineup merely. as
a general matter, of European policy,
to militarists, like General Benciven-
ga, frankly want an English alliance
for the strength it would give. Italy
in another war this demand IS now
coming from nearly all classes J
What the precise attitude of the
Italian government may be on the
question IS not yet clear.
No secret is made by the support
ers of this idea Of the degree or is
ISOLATION which such an alliance would
impose on France. But according to
the Italian viewpoint, that is ques-
tion which regards France and not
Italy. -.
This general solicitation and de-
mand for an alliance with England
reverses completely the general pub
lie attitude of Italy towards England
of before the war. Then England
was always Italy's potential menace.
1t was because of this menace that
Italy felt largely the need of an al
lance with Germany.
. Italy's pre-war attitude relative to
England was this: Italy is essential
ly a maratime state, a state with very
few natural resources and raw ma
terial and complete absence of ma
tive deposits of coal. Hence Italy:s
existence depends upon her mara
time commerce and contact with the
rest Of the world. But with England
controlling both entrances and out
lets of the Mediterranean, namely
Gibralter and Suez he could on a
moments notice, bottle up Italy in
the Mediterranean, cut her off from
ali foreign sources of supplies, and
thus reduce her to starvation and
submission within a few weeks.
Hence Italy's pre-war distrust Of
England.
Since the war Italy sees things
from different viewpoint. She feels
her strength as nation. She feels
that other nations-no matter how
great they behave need of her just
as she has need of them and so she is
frankly looking around for the best
place to make an alliance. p.
As Europe stands today, with Ger
many and Russia out Of the running
for long time to come, Italy's field
of action is pretty much limited to
France and England. Between the
two she has unhesitatingly chosen
the latter. Italy is very distrustful
of France and a latent racial, ,politi-
cal, psychological antipathy exists
which can never be overcome e,

shipping trust $125,0OO,0O0 of the
above $2O0,OOO,0O0 for Is years at
2 per cent interest. The bill further
provides that the government shall
pay a subsidy to the shipping trust
of s75,OOO,O0O a year for period
of 10 years or $750,000,0O0 during
the ten years.
"The bill haa also a provision that
when the shipping trust earns over
10 per cent on their investment, half
of the figure above that amount
should be paid back to the govern
ment."
Isn't this bill framed somewhat af-
ter the now famous Esch-Cummins
law?
Is the American public to benefit
from the Ship Subsidy bill in the
same way that they benefitter from
the Esch- -Cummins law-higher prices
to the ultimate consumer, in short,
tribute to the great private inter-
ests? ." =.

DELAY TRAFFIC BY LAW
By Condo.

Paris, Nov. 25-As protest
against the decree modifying the
eight-hour law French railway work
ers have decided upon unique form
OF strike which the railway compan-
les are powerless to combat. The
scheme is simply to obey all existing
regulations to the letter. The lead
ers expect this to effectively cripple
traffic withiut mourning legal re-
sponsibility. For instance, the re-
gulations forbid men going between
cars to couple while in motion. But
it has never been enforced. Enforce
ment will mean great delay in the
yards throughout the country. Other
regulations which have always been
tactically ignored are those forbid
ding "flying switches" in sorting
cars.

A PROGRESSIVE LEADER

Every time the clock ticks off 40 hours
Wisconsin COWS produce $1,000,000 worth
of dairy products.
Wisconsin's annual milk production
would fill row of quart bottles extend
ing from the earth to the moon.
Wisconsin produces on every working
day 100000 pounds of cheese.
Wisconsin produces 70 per cent OF the
the creamery butter.
This great heighbor state believes in
leading the Union in the dairying busisnes
as we'll as progressive politics and leglsla-
tion.
You cannot blame labor for the high
cost of production any more than you can
blame it for the low prices the farmers
are getting for their crops.
The government is printing about 3OO,-

the cost by paying your bills more prompt
ly.
Peace pacts are absolutely useless, as

READY FOR ACTION

County Agent, Daniel DVoracek, has
submitted a most interesting program for
the Farm Bureau Of Beltrami county and
recommends that they select few of the
major projects and drive them over the
top in successful operation.
New communities like ours cannot under
take too many problems for solution at

important ones first and putting them

The spirit of action is ripe. Farmers are

is assured and big things are in store for
this section of the state, with definite
program to follow.

BUSINESS CONDITIONS

During the last thirty days, commercial
and industrial activity has reflected the
usual stimulation of fall and winter de-
mand. Retail trade in larger cities is more
active than at the corresponding period
of last year, and seanonal acceleration is
evident throughout the country. Uncef-
tainty as to the volume of purchases by
the farmers of the grain and livestock
states has not been dispelled, however.
Wholesale trade has been good through
out the current period. Stocks of many
kinds of goods in the hands of both whole
salers and retail dealers are light, but
neither this fact nor threats of higher
prices have been sufficient to induce buy
ers to make substantial forward purchases.
The conservatism shown justifies the be-
lief that the catastrophe of 1920 has not
been forgotten.
Total car loadings and loading of mer-
chandise and of less than carload lots are
practically at the record levels establish
ed in 1920. Despite car shortage, especially
for coal and for the movement Of farm
products, the railroads are handling
freight remarkably we'll. Coal has been
rapidly moved to the lake ports for ship
ping to the Northwest before the close of
navigation. Receipts of wheat at primary
markets to date, while somewhat less than
for the corresponding period of 1921, are
we'll above receipts for 1920. The livestock
movement is satisfactory. Cotton is NOV
ing more rapidly than in 1921. Some in
dustrial consumers are beginning to &C
cumulate coal reserves, and the disappear
ance of premiums for Immediate delivery
is evidence of improved transportation
for steel.
The manufacturing industries as whole
are operating at not far below normal.
Steel output is at Is per cent of capacity
There has been notable expansion of pig
iron production which for October ex-
ceedee any month since December 1920.
Railroad orders continue heavy. Demand
from the automobile and building indust-
ries is good, due account being taken OF
seasonal declines. Buying by agricultural
implement makers is still light. The indi-
cations seem to be that the demand for
steel may slacken somewhat during the re-
mainder of the year, but that recovery
will be made early in 1928. Demand for
machine tools is fair.
The woolen and worsted industry IS at
between 80 and IS per cent of capacity
Boot and shoe manufactures range from ~
per cent in New England to capacity at
