SENATOR CAPPER
OUTLINES PROGRAM


Senator Capper, of Kansas, makes
the peculiar statement that the Re-
publican party has alineated and lost
the labor vote and that if the party
can not satisfy the farmers in the next
two years it must prepare to meet
with further and more serious rever-
ses. Senator Capper, who is chair
man of the Senate form bloc, says
that if the Republican party is to
continue in power it must do the fol-
lowing things:
"Put through a complete rural cred.
its plan to give farmers and stock
raisers adequate financing facilities.
! Increase the federal farm loan
limit from $4,000 to $4,000.
/ Reduce freight charges and repeal
the guarantee clause and other OBJ
jectionable features of the Esch- Cunt
minis law.
Provide for better system of
marketing.
" Tie utVelOpmeHL Oh the NluhCIH
Shoals project in the hands of Henry
| Ford.
pass the truth -in-f fabrics bill and
the filled milk bill.
adopt constitutional amendmer4
prohibiting issue of tax exempt se
curities.
Reduce taxes further and effect
more government economies.
do something to help Europe fe-
cover and restore our foreign market"
Capper said the recent election
showed more clearly than ever before
that the American voter will no long
er be satisfied with a string of beads
or tin whistle, but insists on get-
ting things done.
He forecasts strenuous farm bloc
opposition to the ship subsidy bill.
and to any efforts to amend the Vol
stead act
When Senator Capper has the
above things done by the Republican
party, we would like to know who ii
going to foot the bill for the next
Presidential election campaign

OREGEON's SCHOOL BILL PASS,
ED.

The success in Oregon of the initi-
ative measure to abolish parochial
and private schools comes after a Wig
orous campaign in which the merits
of the case were thoroughly ad-
vertised. The extraordinary result
without parallel elsewhere in the
United States, seems to be explain
able by the strength Of the Ku Klux
Klan, reinforced by other organiza-
tions accepting its specious plea Of
patriotic necessity. No evidence has
has been forthcoming that the public
school in Oregon is in danger.
Opponents Of this measure were not
opponents of the public school. They
included leading public-spirited citi-
zens of every denomination, including
many who had no interest in the non-
public, or semi-public schools which
are now to be suppressed; except such
interest as was based on desire for
justice, fairness and the public inter-
est. z I, -. =.
The issue involved is closely relat-
ed to the right of free speech. 1t is
also true that the private school,
specially equipped to perform a spec
ial service, not only supplants the
public school but aids it by sugges-
tion. The public school is not static.
1t changes for better or for worse. 1t
is not in the best position for improve
ment when it has monopoly.
Oregon is still in the front rank as
political experimenter, and as such
has helped other states to avoid cost
ly ventures that were better not
made. This particular experiment,
however, is in class by itself. 1t
would not be pleasant to believe that
the sentiment and prejudice which are
back of it are generally prevalent out
side.-Springfield tMass.) Republi-
