BY his issuance of the Treasury Saw
/ Iings Certificates, a new form of gov
Iernment securities which have an ir-
reSiStible appeal to the man of small
means.
Due to the influences of the ad-
miniStration freight rates have been
lowered. Agricultural sections of
the country have been tided over
their crisis. The tax laws of the ma
tion have been rewritten, lifting
from the shoulders of the average
citizen a burden of $S00,000, 900 for
the current year.
These are some Of the more tangi-
BILE things which have conspired to
bring about greatly improved condi-
tions in the past ten months. But in
themselves they would have fallen
far short of accomplishing what has
been accomplished had it not been
known throughout the country that
the influence dominating the ad-
ministration now in power and the
policies of the Republican party
which will direct the affairs of the
nation for the next few years are
conservative influences, constructive
influences that assist legitimate ac-
tivities without coddling them, in
huences that stand for and work for
the amelioration of the conditions
and environments of the common
citizen without yielding to the falla-
cious theories of communism and
socialism, influences that stand four
squared for the protection of both
capital and labor, in the realization
that without one the other is help
less, and without harmony between
the two progress is impossible and
distress inevitable.
In short, the optimism with which
people of all classes in the United
States face the new year may be
largely attributed to the fact that the
administration now in control of all
branches of the United States gov
ernment and whose policies are d.
recting the destinies Of this people
is an administration whose ideas Of
popular government are the antithe-
sis of those held by the administra-
tion which preceded it.

save not only the farmer, but the in
dustries of the nation. They recog-
nized the key to the situation lay
largely in assisting the agriculture to
come back" They sensed also the
changed conditions. They realized
new era had come and with it a
turn in the tide of basic production.
This resulted in the formation OF
that much discussed group in Con-
gress, the agricultural bloc, which
has to its credit more agricultural
legislation in the extraordinary ses-
sion than ever before was passed in
a single sitting of Congress. Let me
mention among them the aid to the
Federal Land Banks, the War FL
nance Relief measure, the Packer
control bill, the Grain Exchange con-
troll bill, and the Farm-to- Market law.

EVER, ALTHOUGH CLASSED AS
HAS GREAT
VALUE TO THE NATION AS A
WHOLE.

Stopping Waste of Natural
Resources.

The world is beginning to wake up
to the reckless waste practiced for a
half a century and more in the pro-
duction and use of its natural re-
sources. Two-thirds Of every ton Of
coal has gone up into the air or into
the dump. Enormous volumes OF
natural gas have been allowed to es-
cape to the limits of an earth atmos-
rhere. Hundreds Of millions Of bar
rels of petroleum have flowed over
the ground to utter uselessness. And
SC all along the line.
Everywhere you hear of steps be-
ing taken to correct this wasteful-
ness. Thus, if conservation becomes
the rule hereafter with new discover
les below the surface, there will be
less and less need o. fear that the
world will go short Of coal and gas
cline in the not very distant future.
Canada doesn't propose to be a
squeezed-out orange like some sec
tons of the United States. During
the last five years enormous coal
fields and petroleum deposits have
been discovered in Alberta, her
northwest province, and already she
is passing laws against wasteful
handling Of these resources.
One of Canada's scientific investi-
gators reports that "if the coal meas
ures Of Alberta be carefully conserv-
ed and scientifically utilized, and all
the gas, oil and other by-products be
recovered to the best advantage, the
whole world can be supplied with
fuel and oil for a thousand years
from the Alberta fields alone"
The future Of the coal mining in
dustry in America contains some-
thing like this: great plants at the
mines when the coal at its arrival at
the surface will be turned into elec-
tricity Ito be carried by wire to cities
and towns and into gas, coke and its
other valuable parts, all Of which can
be shipped in small containers and
cheaper than coal in the bulk.

The first meeting of the Senate ag
riCultural "bloc" was held in the of.
Rce of the American Farm Bureau
Federation in Washington, D. C. The
Senators, known to be interested in
the agricultural situation, were call.
ed by Senaor William S. Kenyon Of
Iowa and Gray Silver, Washington
Representative of the American
Farm Bureau Federation. Senator
Kenyon told his colleagues that il
was his idea that by bringing to-
gether Senators from the Middle
West and South, the principal agri-
cultural sections, it would be posi-
lble to bring to bear sufficient COOP
erative action in the Senate to en-
act legislative measures which would
relieve agriculture. He also told the
futility Of his and other Senators en-
deavorS to pass any kind of remedial
or constructive agricultural legisla-
ton during the previous short session
Of Congress.
Thus the agricultural "bloc" had
its origin. 1t transcends party lines.
1t has its own caucus and is not
amenable to the party whip or party
discipline, Heretofore many bills
have been sidetracked simply be-
cause of policy and the domination
Of leaders who would hold up the
bills rathter than risk division split
in the party ranks. The "bloc" has
thus not only kept new and construc-
tive measures from the cold storage
warehouses of specially appointed
congressional committees; it has al
so taken measures out of cold stor-
age and passed them.
The agricultural "bloc" in the SEN
ate is not sufficiently strong numer-
lcally to pass legislation. Its strength
lies in voting as a block and adding
that strength to one party or the 9TH
er according to the way these parties
favor or oppose a measure. 1t is the
principle of independent voting ap-
| piled to national legislation.
The more than twenty members
are divided about equally between
Democrats and Republicans, so it is
truly bipartisan organization. Most
of the Westerners are Republicans
and most of the Southerners Demo-
Gratis. In the Senate "bloc" the west
ern members all come from states
west of Ohio. These men are en-
titled to commendation, not only
from the farmers but from the gen.
eral public.
The House "bloc" contains men,
bers from as far east as Pennsyl-
vania and is also bipartisan in make

Prohibition Tyranny

In the course Of long and fevent
editorial entitled The New Fight for
Liberty, the Chicago Tribune, advo-
eating a wine-and-beer amendment TO
the prohibition law, says:
We believe that great as the curse
Of liquor may be- and terrible as it
is to have a sodden people, it is not
less terrible to put a free people
under the dominion Of bureaucracy.
This republic rests upon the deci-
sions of its people and the new
tyranny rests upon a denial of in
telligenee Of decision. of choice,
1t is amazing what illogic liquor
trathe propaganda can bring out of
the human brain. Was it not the de-
cision of the people of America that
made America dry? Was it not an
exercise of intelligence and choice ?
The Chicago Tribune must have shut
its eyes TO the fact that long before
the final overwhelming vote that
carried the Eighteenth Amendment,
far more than half the territory of
the United States had voluntarily
gone dry and that the rest of the area
was rapidly going that way. Ameri-
ca is dry because the American peo-
pie choose to have il so. We do not
call this kind of rule tyranny.
Is our condition now terrible" =?
Are We groaning under the oppres-
sion of bureaucracy? Who is op-
pressed because officers of the law
are arresting bootleggers? Certainly
no citizens of good intent.
Who says a sodden people is to be
preferred to a sober people, few
of whose citizens are sober by force
of law? Surely not the wives and
children of the people who were for
merly sodden.
Under the licensed traffic there
was a veritable flood of bootlegging.
In many large cities the blind pigs"
outnumbered the licensed places.
The law commonly winked at these
because the brewers and distillers
fcStered them as an outlet for their
product, Was the police power that
tried to suppress that evil tyrannous? q?
No one suffers all from prohi-
bition except few people who have
acquired under the reign of the sa-
loon a morbid appetite for intoxi-
cants that could never be cured with
cut suffering. Prohibition is primar-
lily for the coming generation. We
are not now making it socially in
cumbent on boys to drink in groups
and treat and be treated. 1t is re-
spectacle now to let liquor wholly
alone. That is real freedom.-Port-
and Telegram.

To say that the year 1922 opens

Studyin' More Fun Than Fishin' Under New
Grammar School Plan

Los ANGELES, Sept 2.-(By
NEA )-Shades of all hookey-play-
ing rebels against painful education
can this be true?
School as much fun as swimmin'
and fshin'. Kids eager for examina-
tons. No nervousness, heartbreak
or fear of failure. Joyous progress
at twice the old speed.
DIR. A. II. Sutherland has achieved
this marvel on a wholesale scale in
Los Angeles grammar schools.
His dictatorship of psychology and
educational research here. and Is
years connection with the Univers-
ity of Illinois. Yale and other big
institutions have given him nation
al repute as scientist and educator.
With the reopening of grammar
schools in few days. he'll put bis
principles at work on a still broader
scale.
How He Does 1t.
His system. practised in expert.

grading, adjusts the curriculum TO
