Ten STATES JOIN IN SCHEME TO
PURCHASE FEED CO-OPERATIVELY

Farmers in ten states will purchase
their dairy feeds comparatively if plans
being worked out at present are carried
forward. Two meetings have been held
recently at which representatives Of
farmers from the New England States,
New York, Michigan, Indiana, Pennsyl-
yania and Ohio have discussed the sub
lect.
"Besides getting the feeds direct frcm
the manufacturer to the local CO. opera
tive elevator or farm bureau, thus saving
considerable of the usual distribution cost,
there are two features of the plan that
bid fair to change the completes system of
selling feeds" said Secretary NJ. ID. Lin
coin of the Ohio Farm Bureau Federation
in announcing the plans.
"The first of these is that in all feed
business handled by the CO operatives the
open formula will be the adopted policy.
For years the feed interests in the coun-
try have been putting out mixed feeds
but the formulate have always been kept
secret Three standard formulae for the
co operatives have been worked out by
agricultural college scientists in eleven
states and adopted"
The other point mentioned by Mr.. Lin
coin is that the feeds or their ingredients
may be purchased at the slack season on
the market and carried at small storage
charge until needed, making a large ad-
ditional saving.

The old cry, Take the tariff out of
politics." is again heard. The tariff can
not be taken out of politics until both of
our political parties agree on free trade,
tariff for revenue only, or for protection.
We have had, for several years, So
called, non-partissn tariff commission
of seven members Some of them favor
free trade, some are protectionists and
nome are about half way between the
two extremes, some are Republicans and
some are Democrats. This commission
has investigated, discussed and reported
hut has seldom reache a unanimous con-
elusion, and consequently Congress has
paid little attention to its findings. 1t is
now proposed to establish another COM
mission to supple ment the work of the
one we DOW have. We have too many
commissions, bureaus, etc. This one il
not needed and we doubt if the present
one is worth the cost of its maintenance

THE END IS NEAR.

The strike of the railroad shopmen
rent into a decline soon after it was de-
clared. 1t is now IN state of collapse
And it is nearing its end. The New York
Central railroad system and several
of hers of the socslled first class railroads
east of the Mississippi river have made
settlement with the shopmen employed
bv them. Many of the western and some
he eastern railroad executives AND
leaders of the shopmen are still Jock
ing, each hoping to get the better OF
ne other. In another month and per-
hans sooner all viii be over except the
-Arrets. Before the strike there were
q Sbout 400, 600 men employed in the main
tenapce of cars, locomotives, etc. To-
day there are about $50, COO thus employ
ed. The shopmen who quit their Jobs
hsve lost their wages for about three
months and many of them will not be re-
EMPLOYED, but these are individual losses
which are trifling when compared with
the loss of respect and sympathy for
uaionism BY reason Of the indefensible
acts following and incidental to the
strike. That sympathy and respect
which every fair minded and thoughtful
person has had for unionized labor will
be forever lost unless union labor hunts
out and expels, as far as possible, all the
wv. W, all the anarchists, all the boil
shevists and all the law breakers from its
membership, whether of high or low de-
gree. These people are miserable few
among a multitude Of real men, and
when one or many of this few perpetrates
an outrage union men should not allow
Gompers, Foster or any other OF their
officials to condone it and rant against
the law.

One of the leading criminologists OF
Chicago, in recent public address, said
that the United States is the most crime
ridden nation on the face of the earth,
and that the criminal population has at
least doubled since the, close ofhe watr.
We do not believe either statement, but
we are willing to admit that both may be
true of Chicago and New York City. We
noticed few weeks ago a statement that
more than 1000 men had been initiated
into the Klu klux Khan in the former city
at an open air meeting, and that $4,000
members of the order witnessed the cere-
mony. Judged by their acts elsewhere
the purpose ossthe X. X. X. is to enforce
the law by violating it. The increase of
crime cannot be lessened that way. Chi
cago needs incorruptibe courts and civil
officers who canuot be bribed either by
cash or political favor.

he loudly hammered on one of the tables

Dangerous Pategnalism.


The desire to shift the burden of taxa
ii n, the desire seemingly to get some
thing for nothing, causes individuals, or
carnations, communities and States to
appeal to their Federal representatives
for national appropriations for undertake
ings of more or less local Interest The
same sort of appeal that originates in one
locality originates in hundred or a thou
sand others, and the communications
from constituents which pour in upon
members Of Congress induce them to
support the appropriations which make
up the burden of which taxpayers COM
plain.
II is needless to recount the various
purposes for which these appropriations
are asked. There is the demand for Fed
eral funds to control almost every pest to
which agricultu al crops of every kind
are subject There is the ever growing
demand that the United States govern
ment shall supply not only supervision
but direct assistance in controlling almost
every form of human disease. The
United States government now controls
the enforcement of the liquor laws,
which was formerly left to the Stltes
and the municipalities. Through the
Federal Trade Commission the govern
ment is attempting to diminish fraud.
The government has Joined with the
States in CO operative system Of high
way improvement. II has also Joined
with the States in a CO. operative plan
for proper medical attention in maternity
cases. Ii is proposed that the govern
ment shall erect public building in every
city or town having first, second or
third class postoffice 1t is proposed that
the government shall extend its work in
the construction of internal canals; that
the government shall undertake the pro-
lection of the banks of the Mississippi:
that the government shall expend more
millions on Muscle Shoals.
These are only few of the projects
which call for new or larger sums from
the Federal treasury, and many of them
have.merit. But they indicate the reason
why government expenditures continue
to grow.
In the ultimate analysis, responsibility
for large appropriations rests not with
Congress but with the citizenship of the
country. 1t is useless to write to menu
bers of Congress in opposition to large
appropriations in general but at the same
time write to them in favor of particular
appropriations. The two positions are
Inconsistent and irreconcilsble. Federal
appropriations will become materially leas
or the increase will be checked only when
individual citizens In large numbers write
TO their Senators and Congressman pro-
testing against, instead of favoring, the
specific schemes advanced upon the mis-
taken theory that the public can get
from the United States gov
eminent without paying for it. Payment
must be made in some form or other and
Federal taxation is quite often the most
means of paying.

Col. House, who was apparently the
trusted admirer Of President Wilson for
about three years. has recently returned
to the United States after long stay IN
Europe. The press dispatches report
him as having said:-''trance has an ar
nv inferior to none the world has ever
seen and if she wished she could trampie
Europe under her feet. But France real
izes that her financial condition would
not allow her to maintain such IN army
indefinitely. She fears the possibility Of
an alliance against her of Germany
and Russia, two nations already in very
close relations" and then ne says:-"lf
the League of Nations had been rendered
q success by the participation of Ameri-
ca. there would have been none of these
most war troubles in Europe. Now
France has DO assurance of protection
from her neiahbors in the future. "
Col. House has evidently been looking
at European affairs through the same
lenses which ne wore when he went to
Paris with President Wilson. The great
idea then was a mandate in America
which would have involved the United
States in all the affairs of the Near East
and would have put American soldiers
between the Turks and Greeks at the
present time and we should now be mill
tant protectors of all Europe against the
bordes of Turkey and for many future
wears

"Buy it abroad" is the motto of free

Democratic testimony to that fact. MIR.
