Madison-The gross income of Wis
consin farms fell to S259,000,000 this
last year, from the peak of s415,000,-
600 in 1919, the crop service reports.
This represents a decrease of $780,
00000 in value in 1920, and is said
to be lower than the pre-war value
of 1914. although official figures are
not available for that time. The pOr-
tion of the farm income attributable
to livestock has increased constantly
since 1917, and in 1921 was the high
est ever, or SIT per cent of the total.
Livestock values are reported to have
held UP much better than crop values.

trade demands Of the British, which
latter are thus expressed by Lord
Chancellor Birkenhead: "England's

make imperative the resumption of po-
Iitical ana commercial relations with
soviet Observation-Disclosures the charac-

threatened failure of the conference:
and he is volubly supported In that by
the English financial expert" John

is rather inclined TO accept the view
Of the New York Tribune, which says

HoLONEL DAVID J. DAVIS will be the
~ candidate for Lieutenant Governor
whether Pinchot or Alter is nominated for
Governor.
II he should declare for one of them and
euess wrong, the relations between him and
the next Governor would not be very cordial,
Consequently he has refused to have any.
thing to do with Alter in spite of the efforts
of Alters friends to induce him to introduce
tho Organization candidate to his own
friends in Scranton. He will not tie him
self MP in any way with Alter, and he knows
that Alters friends have no way to get
hack ut him.
He can maintain his isolation with i'm
punity and smile at the anguish of the Alter
people. who were counting on using his
influence with the soldier vote to strengthen
their candidate.
Davis is acting with considerable political
wtsdom, and is making 1t evident to the
Organization that the Pinchot candidacy is
winning 30 much support that 1t is becoming
extremely dangerous to its candidate.

The New Price Level
1T is my opinion that the present cost Of
labor and materials. which Is considerably
lower than the peak Of 1920, represents
ABOUT the new price level and that no further
drastic liquidation in these lines may be
looked for. There is no Disgusting the fact
that there has come new level of living in

more money available now for building con.

RECOGNIZING THE MEN

THAT Is an interesting suggestion made
i by Mrs. Edward II. Biddle, the retiring
president Of the Civic Club, that the doors
be opened to men until the membership is
evenly divided between men and women.
The club is an association of women in
terested in civic betterment. When it was
organized the women had no direct political
influence. They had to content themselves
with discussion and the creation Of public
sentiment. Now that women may vote, Mrs.
Biddle seems to think that they should
cooperate actively with men in the accom-.
piishment Of the ends sought by the club.
Much can be said in support of this view.
The club has had eight men as associate
members who have advised it when advice
was desired. The election of these men
to active membership and the addition TO
the number Of other men In sympathy with
the purposes Of the organization ought TO
make the club much more influential than
1t has been in the past, because, il for no
other reason, 1t will double the member.

the Leagues side Every intelligent dry and
every intelligent wet admits that the aboli-
ton of the saloon was n good and neces-
sary thing. The Anti Saloon League abol.
ished the saloon, in theory at least, and, in
the course Of time, the saloon will be abol.
ished in fact, largely because OF what the
anti -salooners did. And it is worth remem-
bering that until the Anti Saloon League
came along no one else had ever tried to do
the work it finally undertook. The saloon
was an unchallenged power fo- moral and
political devastation until the dry laws went
through, and none of the people who now
cry for liberty and rage at the Anti Saloon

about 1t.

BeveRIooE COMES BACK

A LBERT ]. BEvERIDGE has proved
"A that man cnn win political cam.

Of Senator New In the primary contest for
the nomination in Indiana has been accom-.
plished by the use Of most unusual tactics.
For the last two or three months Bever-

lawyers on the career Of Chief Justice
Marshall, about whom he has written an
able and informing book. He has addressed
nisn school pupils on the art Of public speak.
ing. He has talked to churches on ethical
questions. And he has thus obtained access
to audiences made up OF people who do not
usually attend political meetings. He has
lrritated no one. for he has refrained from
taking about anything on which there IA
VIDE difference of opinion among the
voters. N
Senator New thought he would serve his
own interests best by remaining in Washing.
ton until near the close of the canvass. He
allowed Beveridge to have his own way,
assuming that the voters would rally to the
support of the organization candidate and
decide that he should be returned to Wash.
ington. But New guessed wrong. The
voters have preferred Bcveridge.
How much Of this preference Is due to a
survival of the, spirit OF the Progressive
Party it would be difficult to say. Bever.
idge was the Progressive candidate for the
Senate in 1914, and polled only los, 900
votes, while Miller, the Republican candi.
date, polled 226, 900, and Shiveley, Demo.
crat, was elected by a vote of 1000.
Wilson carried the State in 1912, but the
combined Roosevelt and Taft vote was
greater than the Wilson vote, and Roose-
welt ran ahead no Teft hv I 4 nnn va,l..
New was elected in 1915, there was a
straight contest between the Republicans and
democrats, and New won by 1000.
Whatever else the Indiana primaries may
indicate, they certainly show that the plea
to support the regular organization has lost
its force. and that the voters are acting on
their own initiative. If any organisation
man inquired, "Who the hell asked him TO
rum" as Councilman Weglein asked the
other day about Pinchot in this State. the
voters seem to have answered the question.
