THE MARKETING SYSTEM IS ALL
OUT OF LINE WHICH CAUSES
UNJUST PRICES TO THE FARMERS

throughout the whole country, as u
is every Spring, eggs were forced
down IN many places 10 10 cents per
dozen. No wonder there are many
city women who will pay s per doz-
en- for eggs 20 bake their Christmas
cakes What does this meant II
simply means that there n no order,
no system, no sense 90 the egg mar
ket. The people, and most Of the
people who send eggs 10 market, are
women and childen, who do all the
work 10 make the Christmas cakes
possible for the Nation, received 10
cents per dozen for the products OF
their labor, and the women and chill
dren who make the Christmas cakes
must pay 81 per dozen for the same
eggs q few months later. Have the
eggs improved by age 1000 per
cent? As a rule, eggs do not improve
with age The question we would
like 10 have answered and we believe
there are millions II other women
who would like 10 know the answer,
il this. Who gets the 90 cents per
dozen difference from the first SELL
ing price 10 the last buying price?
Does Il cos, 90 cents 20 keep a dozen

1. Her promises are valueless; she
has no thought Of keeping them.
Reparations should be forced By the
methods Germany used against France
IN 1870.
2. AZ no reliance can be placed on
Germany's word and As she did her ut
most, in a savage and ruthless manner,
70 devastate and ruin France. France is
entirely justified In demanding ample
security for full reparstion.
8. This security should have been ex-
acted four years ago In Berlin, In the
same manner In which Germany ex-
acted separation in Paris In 1870 and
when Alsace and Lorraine we're kept In
part payment

Emergency Relief

In planning TO relieve traffic con-
sestion the Trans't Commission very
sensibly purposes 70 build the first
new subway where Il IL most vitally
needed. This Is on an eleven-mile
north and south line, partly under
Eighth Avenue, between Chambers
Street and the Billings estate, at
West 192d Street.
Such n subway would Immediately
relieve congestion on the West Side
Of town. Il would insure comfort
able travel, even In the rush hours
on the Seventh Avenue subway be-
low Forty-second Street and on its
extension under Broadway from
Forty-second Street through Wash
ington Heights.
The fact that the commission in
picking new routes selects first those
which will most quickly remedy con-
ditions that are becoming intoleraole
proves how wise Governor Miller
was in appointing the present COM
missioners. Routes TO the Bronx
and to Brooklyn and to Staten Isl
and must be built soon, Of course,
but the important thing is to keep
the stream freely flowing under
Manhattan Island.
II the Board Of Estimate has the
public spirit and intelligence to ap-
prove this plan, work will begin
within nine months and construction
be pushed rapidlyto completion. II II
insists on blocking the plan merely
because It was drawn up BY the
Transit Commission a delay Of per-
haps a year in beginning operations

On Rejecting New Constitutions

When New York in 1915 re scted
By a 2 to vote the new state con-
stitution proposed By its constitu-
tional convention the defeat was
unpreeedentedly overwhelming. Hi
nois on Tuesday last rejected a new
constitution by a vote Of almost 5
10 l. Cook County, containing the
City Of Chicago, went II to / against
IT, In some wards the ratio was
81 70 /.
Rarely has there been so COM
pletely one-sided a verdict in any
general voting test In the United
States.
The main reasons were two. Chi
cago's great vote in the negative was
due to 4 clause proposing TO restrict
the city's representation in the Cen
eral Assembly. Down state" was
counted on TO rally enough strength
10 outweigh Chicago's protest; but
the second Of the main objections de-
veloped when "down state" revolted
against the state income tax propo-
sal. The farming districts went 2
and 3 to / egainst the whole con-
stitution. Added to these large in
fuences were the usual minority
groups protesting against isolated
clauses for reasons ranging from ex-
treme reaction to extreme radical
ism.
The Illinois defeat gives new point
to the question How can a state
best get for itself needed eonstitu-
tional reform? Illinois in the proc
ess Of rejecting what 1t did not want
also rejected much that II did want.
The practical lesson must include
the evident instinct Of American
foters against sweeping constitu-
tional changes. That instinct may
work blindly and wrongly, as it did
in New York, but it must be recog-
nized. Change, II It is to come at
all, must clearly come step by step.
The "piecemeal" method, so much
discussed in this state in 1915, must
be the road 10 amendment. The
salvage from the Illinois defeat
should be a general realization that,
however possible in earlier days,
whole hog" constitutional reform
simply will not work to-day.
