GOVERNMENT BY THE
PEOPLE OR BY A HANDFUL
OF UNION OFFICERS

Taking as text the notice by Pres
ident John l.. Lewis of the United
Mine Workers to Governor Groesbecl
that if the state of Michigan wants
to mine coal it "first has to make sat
isfactory arrangements with the min
ers' union, like every other employee
The Boston Transcript in a recent
editorial asked as many others are
asking, who is the sovereign in this
country, and concluded discussion
of the point with the remark that il
is perhaps we'll to bring the matter
to the test, and the sooner the better
Said the Transcript, "There may be
no better time than this to determine
whether the power of the people as
expressed through their constitutional
agencies of state and nation is su-
preme in this country or some other
organization or corporation"
The reply which Governor Groes-
beck has received from t. Leo Jones,
head of the Saginaw Valley Miners
association in answer to his request
that the men of his organization return
to work under state control in order
to furnish fuel for state and munich
pal institutions, indicates that the
Transcript did not exaggerate the
meaning of Mr.. Lewis statement Of
his unions position. Mr.. Jones' reply
is uncompromising and insulting. 1t
is utterly lacking in any consideration
for the people of Michigan. 1t is,
in its essence an ultimatum which
contains no vestige of public spirited
ness or loyalty to the country. The
only allegiance Mr.. Jones acknowl-
edges is an allegiance to his union
and its president.
Under the circumstances there is
one thing left for the governor of
Michigan to do if he performs his full
duty and that is to make it clear to
everybody that the state is sovereign
within its own borders and is able and
is prepared to defend itself. There
is prevalent condition of necessity
before which the private interests of
the coal miners must give way. The
people of the state stand behind Mr..
Groesbeck in any measure he may
consider necessary in order to meet
that necessity.
And what is true of the situation in
this state is true of the situation gen.
orally throughout the nation. 1t is up
to the federal government to assert
itself and the rights of the people by
any steps that are needful, and to do
SO Immediately. America has a right
to expect its government to protect
it from enemies at home as well as
from abroad, and to do so energetic
ally and aggressively.-Detroit Free

YES, AND THINK 1T OVER.

We might recommend to some of
the publicity gentlemen Of the rail
road and mine strikers reading of
the following quotation from Presi-
dent Harding's message. 1t contains
the essence Of right in regard to pick
citing, closed shops and in some re-
spects, the whole union labor situa-
tion.
Liberty is gone in America when
any man is denied by anybody the
right to work and live by that work.
1t does not matter who denies. A
free American has the right to labor
without any others leave"

HARDING FIGHTS
PORK BARREL
SYSTEM
United Press Leased Wire

WASHINGTON, March. 29.-Presi-
dent Harding is preparing to fight
strongly against the return to the
y"pork barrel system of approPria-
tion which = threatened by house com
mittees that have disregarded the
figures of the budget bureau in/ fran
ing pending supply measures, it was
learned today.
He feels that the old wasteful
methods will grow up again unless he
demands rigid adherence to the ex-
penditures of the budget.
Announcement sof the president S in
tention of fighting for the spirit as
weH as the letter Of the more business
like budget method was prompted by
the action of the house appropriations
sub committee in slipping a $l5.0O0,0OO
item into the army appropriation bill
for rivers and harbors-the favorite
methods of passing the "porki' around
among various congressional districts.
This action particularly disturbed
Harding because the house committee
had just previously slashed the appro-
priation for the army proper and the
navy far below what budget officials
named as the rock bottom figure.
Likewise the committee struck out
81 100000 from the department Of
Justice figures and more than 81 ,000,,
100 from those of the state department.

Co m m i s siOner Waite
Amazes Hearers at C. of
C.. Luncheon
TELLS OF BIG FOUR
Grapes, Asparagus, Lettuce
Grapefruit, Real
a.,4 Crops Claim

f. W. Waite, horticultural commits
sioner, sIfaking before the Chamber of
Commerce luncheon ut the Barbara
Worth hotel here today told the Imper-
ial Valley wherein, agriculturaly, its
greatest future lies and amazed his
auditors by his prediction.
Grapes asparagus, grapefruit and
dates. There lies the agriculture
growth and prosperity of this great In
land Empire Mr.. Waite declared.
''Those four crops-the Big Four | call
them-will place the value of Imperial
Valley lands into four figures instead
Of it's common average Of three figures.
And the sooner our farmers quit grow
ing barley, alfalfa and like crops, the
sooner will the land values reach their
true worth.
Mr.. Waite, an expert in horticulture,
reviewed that situation in the Imperial
Valley today. He refused to counten-
ance any pessimism in the familiar
agricultural bugaboo of overprOduction
in any Of the valleys present pri!ci-
pal commodities as lettuce and
cantaioupes.
Il I" There. VIII be between; $4,000 and
20 900. acres, in cahtaloupes. grown in
the valley this year, he forecasted.
Anhough some will SAY that is an
eveFpr6duetion; that 800 cars of canta-
loupes a, day, will feed every city in
the United States with all the canta
loupes II. can use; the proper care in
standardization Of the melons, such as
its ripenins, etc, will create increased
markets and find growing demand for
growing supply.
He referred in the same tenor to the
lettuce situation, explaining that next
years lettuce production would show
increases over this years supply ''be-
cause the people want more lettuce as
we produce more.
In his prophecy concerning the Big
-Four crops, Mr.. Waite particularly
stressed date growing as "the greatest
moneymaking commodity available to
the Imperial Valley.
Zone acre of dates, properly culti-
,ated, will produce Il net income of
So 1000 Il YEAR, he declared.
He cautioned against going into
any farming venture, whether it be
grapes, dates or any other agricultural
product on too great u scale.
'!rhat, is the tendency here he
said, ,..'to 90: into ventures on too big
:. scale.
In urging the ''Big Four as the
,greatest, profit paving crops for the
Imperial Valley, Mr.. Waite was not
nnmindful of lettuce and melons.
''Just Yesterday he said, "lettuce
sold here at $3.50 a crate, FOB. FL
Centre. That is an average of $3.50
;,-car. There is big money in that, he
asserted.
