PEOPLE MAKING UP MINDS
THAT STRIKES MUST STOP

Events of the last 80 days have
created more sentiment for the prin-
ciple of the Kansas industrial court
law than could have been created by
many years of academic discussion.
Take, for instance, the fruit growers
OF the Pacific northwest. Threatened
with the loss of their years labor
and the expenditure of untold mil
lions of dollars that they have put
into the work of production, they
are in no mood to heed the argument
OF some of the railroad executives
about fright of capital" or Mr..
Gompers' farfetched, extravagant
utterances about the danger of SUBJ
jecting coal miners and railway work.
ers to industrial slavery" The
point comes clear to them, as it does
to millions of other producers, and
to hundreds of thousands of tourists
and other travellers, distressed by the
danger of blockade of the railroads,
that the general public has rights
which organized capital and organ
lied labor must. be compelled to re-
spect.
Thoughtful and unbiased citizens
are ready to agree with President
Harding that while the right to or
ganize and the right to quit work
are conceded, the right to abuse
these privileges is not conceded.
In the end, as the president clearly
sees, it is the public that must pay
for this warfare and large part of
the public must pay doubly. If per-
ishable food products are destroyed,
the producers pay heavy price, and
In many instances are ruined, and
later the general public must pay the
price of higher cost of living. The
coal strike is settled, but the public
will have to pay the price in higher
charges for fuel for many months to
come, and it is the general public
that in the end must pay for the
losses resulting from the general de-
rangement of the country's industries.
1t the interests that own the coal
mines, and the miners who work in |
them, and the interests that own and |
manage the railroads, and the en-
ployes who struck or who have threat
ened to strike, had designedly gone
about the rousing of public interest
and deepening of public opinion for
the principle of government prohibi-
ton on conspiracy strikes and lock-
outs in the country's vital industries,
they could not have accomplished
more in the last 90 days.-Spokane

tariff bill of 1922 if they were able
to prove that it is the highest tariff
ever proposed-which they cannot
do. There never before was anything
like the present necessity for high
tariff rates.
The people of this country must do
one of two things: they must put into
effect thoroughly effective protec-
tive tariff or we must go out of busi-
ness as great wealth producing ma
ton. Time will show that the prin-
cipal weaknesses of the new tariff
law will be more on the side of fail
ing to give adequate protection than
on the side of excessive rates.-Na-

PROTECTION NEEDED
NOW MORE THAN EVER

The free traders and importers
agents are emitting a vast amount of
piffle to the effect that this is no
time to revise the tariff, with world
economic conditions in so disturbed
q state and with such uncertainty as
to industrial conditions throughout
the world in the immediate future.
Existing disturbed and uncertain
conditions in world finance and trade
are such as to make more necessary
than ever before in American history
good, stiff protective tariff. In order
to meet the competition Of pauper-
lied Europe and Asia we must either
lower our scale of wages and living
to that of these continents or be sat
isfied to see our American home mar
ket, the most valuable in the world,
surrendered to the foreign producers
and importers.
This is so clear a proposition that
no one not financially interested in
playing the game of the importers
and foreign producers, so infatuated
with the academic doctrine of free
JIauc 40 W oc OcNoiO VI COfufnOn
sense, could fail to see it.
The American producer cannot
compete on equal terms with the Ger
man, Austrian, French, English, Ital-
ian, Japanese or Chinese producers
so long as the wages paid in these
Industrial nations are from one-half
TO one-tenth those in effect in the
United States.
This competition is vastly more
dangerous than ever before because,
on account of currency depreciation,
the alien employing producer has an
advantage over the American employ
ing producer far beyond that possi-
bic under normal exchange condi-
tions.
This situation makes necessary a
higher tariff than ever before, if it is
to be genuinely protective. The yawp-
ers about "extortionate and uncon-
scionable rates." most of whom could
not name rate in the pending tariff
bill IL they tried, would not be maxi

eIs on the occasion of the annual
Farmers Day roundup and confer
ence.
Blue ribbon winners from the best
blood of the various breeds will be
dressed up for the day in the college
barns; extensive test plots on all
sorts of crops and soils questions will
be ready for inspection; specialists in
different phases Of the agricultural
industry will be Eat home" for visit
ors, ready to give information and TO
consult on problems of the moment;
and speakers of standing in the farm
world will discuss vital questions be-
fore the assembled guests of the day.
The feature of the program will be

Why Not Mark
TOlpn is QuerU

A common difficulty experienced by
tourists in Michigan is that of know
NIX the name of the town to which
they are coming. Unless it is a
large city, the motorist is apt to en-
ter the place and experience consid-
cradle trouble in finding out just
what town he is in. The fault lies
in the fact that few of these towns
are marked. No signboard greets
the eye as one drives into the place,
except the one, perhaps, that says
Speed Limit Ten Miles," and which
has no meaning, being relic of the
old speed law days, and which does
not convey information that is de-
sired. ~
Many states have definite systems
by which it is possible 10 know the
name and main points Of interest
about even the smallest town on the
main lines of travel, and this should
be the case in Michigan as well. 1t
is enlightening to travel through
New York state and see that for
every town, however small, a certain
company has erected huge sign
board in the shape of an open book,
on which is printed plainly the name
Of the town, its population, and its
main point of interest.
This could be initiated with profit
in this section. Each city should erect
large signboard on each of the
main approaches to the town, indi-
eating to the tourest the name of the
place, its Importance to chance
strangers, its population, and the
distance to the nearest large city
either direction.
Chambers Of Commerce or city adj
ministration could do this with pro-
fit to the town. 1t should not be left
to some enterprising commercial
establishment to do this when and
how it chooses, but should be done by
those who should be most interested
IN boosting the town, and putting it
on the map in literal sense. The
main function of various civic or
CARNATIONS is just that, to increase
the Importance of the place where
they are organized, and to make it
known to other places as a widea-
wake, enterprising community. Moth
ing contributes more to this end in
the mind Of the traveller than signs
to tell him plainly what town he is
coming TO, and how far he is on the
way TO his destination.
Many towns in this vicinity have
been recognizable by the atrocious
roads encountered as soon as the
motorist entered the town limits, but
with improved roads that distin-
gushing feature is being more and
smore eliminated, and some real in
dicator is needed to put Alma and
other nearby places on the map.

PEOPLE AND THE PRIMARY

Considerable fault is being found
in certain quarters with the primar-
les. but it seems to the thinking vot-
er that the trouble with the working
of the primaries is entirely due to
the carelessness and listlessness upon
the part of the people themselves and
not with the primaries.
IL the voters would manifest even
a reasonable amount of interest IN
the primaries they could have the
whole say as to who should fill the
Offices and administer the laws. The
thing TO do is not to abolish the
primaries, but 10 arouse the voters
TO a sense of their obligations 10
themselves and TO the country.
No voter has a right to complain
of conditions to which he gives alb
solutely no attention or makes nc
effort to improve. The remedy FOL
nearly all the evils that exist today
is in the hands of the voters If they
will use il to correct those evils by
attending the primaries and noml'
mating the right kind Of candidates
in place Of sitting on the fence anc
letting out their line of talk.-Fow'

Lime AVAILABLE
/. FOR THE FARME RS
SUGAR COMPANIES OFFERING
LIME TO THE FARMERS WHO
DESIRE TO GET 1T.

That sugar beet factory refuse lime
is a valuable source of lime for agri-
cultural purposes was very signifi-
cantly demonstrated TO a gathering
of farmers, sugar men and county
agents ut Saginaw recently. The
meeting and trip to fields and plots
was instigated by Mr.. Wallace of the
Michigan Sugar Company due to the
fact that some trials they have con-
Quoted at various places showed such
marked benefit from the use of lime
and his belief that the thousands Of
tons of this material which has ac-
cumulated at the factories could be
used to advantage by the farmers
within hauling distance.
A farmer some eight miles from
the Saginaw factory had covered a
part of his oat field with this product
last winter 1t was heavy soil sim
liar to much of the soil in Gratiot
county and on which grows fine
crop of oats. Where the lime had
been applied the oats We're well
grown out being taller and thriftier
than the rest of the field, and even
tho heavier were not lodged as bad
as the lighter oats. The maturity
and yield could not be noticed at the
time but will be interesting to OBJ
serve.
The Saginaw plant also had several
plots planted to potatoes, corn, cab
bage, onions, tomatoes, roots and
other crops on the lime pile which
was some to 10 feet deep. All of
these plants were doing exceptionally
well. This would indicate there is no
danger from the lime injuring the
seed or plants in applying it at most
any time or in any manner.
1t is not the intention OF the sugar
companies to commercialiZe this by
product at present at least unless
their Investigations lead to method
Of drying and sacking which will en-
able them to compete with other lime
products. They feel that the farmers
are neglecting a valuable source of
lime which will lead to better soil con-
dtions and are willing to cooperate in
providing conditions around the lime
piles which will make it easier for the
farmers to haul from at any time of
the year.
Not only does this lime have the
neutralizing powers but it also con-
tains considerable potash, phosphates
and nitrogen for which we pay good
money. 1t can be hauled and applied
at n time when teams are not busy, APP
piled at any rate desired and the only
cost is the actual cost Of hauling.
This looks like a proposition those
living near Alma or st. Louis cannot
afford to miss. Some of the soil may
not show an acid reaction but there
are numerous plans where tests indi-
cate an acid condition Of the soil.
Lime will correct this and even tho
it is not used extensively this year n
few loads applied on various fields
and crops would be the most accurate
way of finding out what it is worth
on any particular farm.
