Again the Free Seeds Grab


New York World.-If the house
stood honestly for economy it would
make short work of abol ishing free
seeds. Instead it has reported the
$36O,000 item to the agricultural ap-
preparation bill after the committee
had cut it out. This has been the
usual procedure in recent years-first
a pretense of doing what is right and
then shameless scramble for little
more political plumber. 1t is the sort
Of thing that helps the public to take
the measure of the average Congress-
man. #2 49,.
The distribution of free seeds is q
hoary farce prolonged from year to
year. They cost representatives and
senators nothing to obtain or to for
ward by mail to constituents, there
fore because of the pettiness of the
normal congressional mind they are
priced as bait for voters. 1t is
putting low estimate on the intelli-
gence of the men and women in their
districts to think that few packets
Of radish and beet seeds will make
any difference, but that is the way
Washington looks at many matters.
The government foots the bill on the
pretext that somehow agriculture is
being advanced, so nobody cares.
Regularly several hundred thousand
dollars every year are wasted in this
sordid POLITICAL scheme. 1t is a USE
less, frivolous expenditure of money,
and there is never enough courage in
congress to stop it. ....

LEAGUE MAY BACK 5
GRONNA FOR SENATE

Fargo, March 18.-The probability
that A. j. Gronna, former United
States senator, will be Endorsed in the
Nonpartisan league state convention
to be conducted here March %, ap-
pears as the outstanding feature Of
the results reported from the county
Nonpartisan league conventions.
In this connection political obser-
vers point to the fact that Gronna,
who was the candidate supported by
the coalition in opposition to the
league two years ago, made an an
nouncement of his candidacy this year
first, through the Nonpartisan league
press, and he has received at the
hands of the league papers very
favorable notice Of his candidacy.
With one county definitely instruct
ed to give him support in the conven.
ton and with the delegates from at
least four other counties coming to
the convention and with the know
ledge that the delegates to the county
meetings that named them favored
Gronna, it is regarded as apparent
that the action of several county
gatherings was not wholly spon-
taneous, but that some little preli-
minary work had been done for
Gronna.
AS the "balance of power" plan
that A. c.. Townley urged upon the
league and which has been rejected
by virtually every county, it has been
the view:of the leaguers who support
ed it that the plan was advanced as
a means of aiding the candidacy of
