GREAT BRITAIN
AND SHIPPING BILL

From the Kansas City Post.
The Mississippi Valley association
through President James E. Smith,
has issued a forceful statement, in
the form of a letter to United States
Senator Joseph e. Ransdell, expos
ing the British propaganda against
the ship subsidy bill championed by
President Harding.
Extracts from leading British pa
pers are hardly needed to prove
that a bill which will give to this
country an adequate merchant ma
rlne will seriously interfere with the
British monopoly. which is forcing
Americans to transport their products
to foreign markets in British in
stead of American vessels.
These extracts, however substanti-
ate the charges that England is
seeking to control legislation by the
American congress in behalf of an
American merchant marine. They
strengthen the argument that those
who are opposing the shipping bill
are merely playing into the hands
of foreign competitors of the United
States.
The Missouri Valley association
statement makes It clear that the
bill does not effect or propose any
governmental control of American
shipping, but on the contrary, seeks
only to extend judicious assistance
to private enterprise; to enable it to
hold its own in a competition which
is hopeless under existtsg conditions
without such assistance.
The American scale of living can
not compete by and of itself, with
that of foreign countries and no pa
triotic American wants it to do so.
American efficiency is superior to
that of foreign competitors, but #
cannot be expected TO offset the in
equities of differing standards of liv-
ing and other costs of operation.
The subsidy is inconsiderable when
compared with the enormous losses
now' being sustained. 1t is costing
the government $4,000, 900 annually
for the upkeep Of empty vessels now
idly swinging at their anchors. while
foreign competitors are reaping the
rewards of operation, which is ma
terially assisted by foreign subsidies. /
That is one of the ironies of the I
situation. Foreign countries are sue |
cessfully aiding their shipping, while
opposition to such a system here is (
delaying the enactment of a law
which the President declares to be
so vitality necessary that he will sum-
mon Congress in extraordinary ses-
sion. If necessary in order to secure
its passage.
English newspapers are loudly
calling on the so-called PRO British"
party in this country to defeat the
subsidy bill. Isn't it about time the
'pro-American" party was receiving
sufficient additions to its strength to
enact the ship subsidy bill? Which

FARMERS VIEW OF THE
RAILROAD STRIKE
From the Bache Review.

From the Bache Review.
In estimating public opinion on
the strike, David Friday, president
Of the Michigan Agricultural Col
lege, has taken pains to estimate the
farmers interest. He says that the
persons engaged in rendering the
service of railroad transportation
are less than Az per cent Of our
total working population. and
they received in 1921, as wages, al
most z per cent OF the nations pur-
chasing power-that is, of the ma
tion's total agricultural. mining and
manufacturing product. While the
railroad workers constituted less
than Az per cent of the population,
the farmers, he estimated, made up
somewhat over 26 per cent. but re-
ceived less than 20 per cent of the
nations product and purchasing
power.
He puts the situation briefly, as
follows: There were six times as
many workers in agriculture as in
railway transportation. and yet they
received only three times as much
OF the nations prouuShoh do u4e
the railway workers.
When labor leaders made their
first move after the war towards
achieving control of the political
situation, they made a strong bid
TO have the farmers included in
heir organization, but with only
moderate success, and since that
ime the farmers have been more
md more aware that their interests
lid not lie with those of labor. DR..
rriday concludes. from his analysis,
hat the farmer is opposed and wiz
continue to be opposed to any at
empt on the part of railway labor

.onomic law towards lower compen-
alton.

| ministration stu hopes for volun-
tary resumption of work on railroads
and in mines before such action be-
comes imperative. But this hope
does not blind 1t TO the need for
precautionary measures. If the
threatened fuel famine and trans
portation breakdown should become
realities. the government should be
prepared to deal with them. This
position of the administration can
not fail to win support of all who
realize the gravity of the situation.
So far the only objections to the
administrations program that have
been intimated are on the score of
unconstitutionality and untimeliness.
In the face of the present crisis
such objections can not be reason
ably maintained. For conditions
now obtaining are critical to a de-
gree that prohibits subjection Of leg
islation TO overrefined technlcali-
ties and urges resolution of doubts
as to constitutionality In favor of
the common good" And the pos
sibility that delay in vesting the
administration with adequate pow
ers might result in serious injury TO
the public makes the authorization
sought timely, and by the same
token makes obstructive tactics un-
timely.
That such enabling powers as may
be vested in the executive will not
be abused is assured by a record of
official conduct that registers abso-
lutte zero in unwarranted exercise Of
If any administration
has ever shown unfalling determina-
lion TO refrain from exceeding its
proper limitations, as prescribed by
aw and conditions. 1t is the Harding
Administration and this fact is an
against unjustified use of
power that Congress can not rea-
refuse TO accept. The exec
itive seeks authorization for as
of governmental control,
because he knows the gravity Of the
ituation and realizes that II holds
menace that may render the exer-
lse of such authority necessary TO
efense of the public interest. The
risis confronting the nation calls
or cooperation Of Congress with
he administration TO the extent of
he enabling legislation specified as
ecessary to safeguard against
threatened peril, and such co-opera-
on should be forthcoming.

STRIKES AND CRIME.
: Natlonal Farmer.

From the National Farmer.
Two unfortunate strikes are great
causes why farmers are not receiv-
ing better prices for their produc-
tions. There are other reasons, but
the two strikes are the most i'm
portant at present. We anticipate
that these strikes will be settled in
August.
In connection with these strikes
we notice that there is great differ
ence in the attitude of the federal
and state governments towards the
striking and employing elements.
There Is also considerable differ
ence in the attitude of the daily
newspapers and the minor law en-
forcement officials.
In many instances, in many years,
strikes have been brought about in

strike managers that If they could

tives and cars in a state of disrepair
is really charge against the Inter-
state Commerce Commission. 1t is
one, moreover, not supported by
single case of such operation in de-
fiance Of the commissions inspec-
tors. Mr.. Gompers and the chiefs of
the railroad brotherhoods are well
sware that the charge IS false. For
months before the railroads were
restored to their, owners conditions
were incalculably worse than they
could be today IL there had been a
single inspection of locomotives
since the Inauguration OF the shop
men strike on the first of July.
Did the unions utter a single word
OF protest then?
Air the facts are of record. Months
before government ownership term
mated, the tracks were in such a
condition that Director General
Hines made wholesale reductions in
the running time of express trains.
The time of President Rea, of the
Pennsylvania, was wasted. in Chi
cago and Washington, explaining
why il was desperately necessary
to supplement the railroad shops
with outside assistance in repairs
ana construction, entirely because
of the inefficiency brought about by
government ownership and super
vision. All these facts are perfectly
well known to Mr.. Gompers and his
friends; but not so we'll known to
the public.

the railroad brotherhoods are now

WAGE LOSSES FROM STRIKES.

From the New York Herald.
A report issued by the Pennsyl-
vania Bureau of Mediation and Arbi-
tration puts the wage loss. from
strikes in that State during the first
half of the present year at s117,-
/ 546, 466, of which the sum of $114,-
562,914 fell on striking miners.
I From January 1 TO the first of
July 1898 mining operations were
/ involved In strikes, of which fifteen
had been carried over from the
year before. OF these twenty-one
have been closed leaving 1.242 dis
putes pending on July 1. In the
combined bituminous and anthra-
cite fields 340.1OS miners were idle
and up TO July they had lost total
of 22,S69.6ss working days. To
bring this time loss to date, as Of
August 20. 17.345,5OS working days
must be added.
Apparently the Pennsylvania bu-
reau estimates miners wages at a
fraction more than SIS day. At an
even SO day the total wage loss to
the miners of Pennsylvania thus far
In the current year has been ap-
proximately 100000 900. To this
must be added the working days and
wages lost through the railroad
strikes. As yet no data have been
presented by which to compute
these losses with anything like ac-
curacy. Probably it would be with
in the mark to place the wage loss
from the railroad strike in Penn
sylvania to, date at s30,O00,00O
Thus strikes up to this time in 1922
have probably cost Keystone State
wage earners something like a
quarter of a billion dollars.
Add to this sum the wage losses
from strikes in all the other States
of the Union and figures loom which
are colossal. That the labor unions
can stand such drain and still
continue to pay their large forces
of professional labor politicians
ranging from $4,000 to S15,-
600 year. as we'll as their heavy
travelling and hotel expenses, is evil
dence of the remarkable financial
vitality of these orga anizations. The
other lines of business that could
stand up under such a burden are
few indeed.

A PALPABLE CONSPIRACY.

From the Wall Street Journal.
Whatever the presidential cleo

proved, 1t made the fact entirely
clear that the American people had
no use for government Of the rail-
roads. The Republican party de-
nounced it in its platform and the
voters did the rest. 1t is necessary
to recall this fact of history less
than two years old TO show how the
railroad unions. and particularly
the brotherhoods are trying to
cram government ownership down
the throats of those who rejected It.

docs A DAIRY
HERD PAY" is
STUDENT THEME
tBY VERNON GRIMAD
Agricultural Class High school

We have tried 10 certain wheth-
er or not dairy herd pays for its
keep.
There are a good many cows used
in daries today that do not pay for
their keep. aud some cost consider
able more than they make In returns.
In other words. they do not give emo
ugh milk in a sufficient percentage
OF butterfat to pay for the cost OF
their feed, care. housing. and other
expenses.
IL farmer or dairyman has two
or three such COWS in his herd il Is
very easy TO see how these cows will
very seriously decrease all profit
from the herd.
II has been our purpose TO find
whether or not there have been any
such cows in the herds tested We
have found how much the milk tested
the amount of milk produced the
amount OF butterfat. the value OF the
milk. the cost OF the feed, the labor
value, the loss or gain. II any. and
the entire value of the COW. In this
way we can determine whether or not
COW pays the most by selling the
butterfat or by selling the milk.
A COW can make a profit II milk
is sold. when the sale OF cream from
her milk would not be profit, b.
cause the percentage OF cream would
not be very large. and IL Il was sold
by the quart it would make a profit.
COW that fails TO pay for her
keep is a hindrance TO the entire
herd because it takes some of the
profit from the others to pay for her
keep.
