ONE PLANK IN THE PROGRAM.

There is one plank IN the forthcoming legisla-
tive program on which there ought not to be much
both houses, with the possible exception Of a very
small group of extremists at either end, ought to be
able to stand without crowding. That is that dur
ing the next two years the state mill and elevator,
shall be conducted vigorously and in a bvsiness-like
manner, as an asset Of. the state, with the state fully
in charge OF its operation and responsible therefor.
Some Of the league members insist that the in
auguratiof1 of this enterprise is a part OF the league
program" and that their organization must have
credit for it, Some of the Independents point to
certain facts as evidence that the demand for the
enterprise antedates the league, and that had there
been no league the plant would have been built and
operated. That is an interesting subjectfor debate,
but it isn't necessary to decide it now. Why not for
get it for a time. The institution is here. IT is going
to- be owned and operated by the state until it has
been in operation long enough to demonstrate the,
wisdom of some other disposition of it.. In the
meantime it is not going to be sold or leased to any
private concern, nor is any private person or or
|ganization going to share in the responsibility for
its management. Neither is it going to be operated
|gratuitous1y, for the purpose of handing out dona-
tons to farmers or anybody else from a mysterious
and inexhaustible store OF funds. 81
Men of extreme views and scrappy DISPOSE
lions may have different views on the subject, and
it they occupy the floor long enough it is quite pos
slDie tor them to have a long drawn out controversy
i'll which speeches will be made on every conceivable
subject under the sun. A t the end qf,it> All we shall
wind up by recognizing the fact above stated, that
the enterprise will continue to be operated, as at
present, by the state. d. .
We shall save a lot of time if those who are
firmly convinced of the correctness and inevitable
plain at the beginning, and then address themselves
to the perfection of plans which give the best prom
Use of making the administration Of the business of
the Institution one of thorough efficiency.

Washington, d. c., Dec, 24.-A ray

-of. light has Just been shed on some
widely discussed questions about the
woman worker. II. Is often asserted
that a large proportion of married
women now work. in stores and of.
fices and that many Of them do so
merely in order to buy Injuries. The
criticism ia made that these women
whose husbands could SUPPORT them
are holding positions needed by men
and single girls.
The person making a statement of
this sort always Elibly quotes al. least

she can spend her vacation at an ex-

N A

Two items which account for a large proper
ton of the increased taxation in recent years are
those of schools and roads. Everyone who has to
pay taxes feels the burden of them, and there is a
very general desire that they be reduced. Among
other things, it is proposed that the expenditure for
schools be ~curtailed, and that the building Of roads
be suspended for one or two years or longer.
In these items. as in all others, nd rigid rule
can be, applied. We may be able to determine with
reference to a particular item whether or not a pro-
posed expenditure is wise, but we cannot safely Law
down a general rule to apply to all items, even Of,
any particular class.
Take the matter of school construction In a
given case it may be a matter of wise economy to
defer the erection of a new school building for a
time, and to carry on the work of the district tenn
|porarily under somewhat disadvantageous condi-.
tons. Or the conditions may BE such that. new con-
struction at this time is imperative.
There has been a noticeable Improvement in
recent years in the character of rural school build
|ings.~ The original barn-like structures have been
Replaced by buildings, usually not expensive, but
This has increased the taxes in the districts affected,
and it has increased the aggregate indebtedness and
taxes Of the people of the state. But the
thing is not how much has been added to
either Indebtedness or taxation, but whether or not
value has been received for the money, and whether
tons are financially able to bear the burden. There
arc still districts in the Red River valley, inhabited
for nearly half a century, where fields are productive
and farm buildings large, modern and abrasive,
where, the schoolhouse is a mere shack. In such
districts a false economy has been practiced. The
people ought to have taxed themselves yeats ago
for better physical school facilities. Having neglect
cd to do SO, they should begin now It is indecent
that where all the evidences of prosperity ate pres
ent, the school system alone should present the ear
marks of restitution.
Something of the sort is true with reference
to roads. We are not in, condition now, and it is
not likely that we shall be for yesars,to stand the ex-
1pense Of paved highways. Bit the travelled trunk
road, with its well built feeders is one Of the neces-
sites of the times, not for the accommodation Of
tourists, although that feature is not to be neglected
but for the regular use Of the inhabitants OF the
state. As,%
The financial stringency which esmbaarrryasses Us
makes it imperative that every dollar that IS; expend-
ed in road building shall be wisely used. It does not
warrant a program Of suspension and abandonment
If We were SO minded we could dispense with
most of our taxation. We might lock the doors Of
all our public places, discharge most Of our public
servants, and just III things run themselves. !. In
that way we could avoid the payment Of a lot 81
money which we now pay III taxes. Rdt after !
brief experience of.this kind We should hot have
much left to tax. &,

THE FACTS" OF HISTORY.

Is it possible to teach history without distort-
ing it? There is a good deal of discussion in these
days about rewriting American history in such a
way as to correct the errors which have found their
way into thes,current texts. In one quarter it is
asserted that the school texts on history have been
given a religious bias, and in others that the Bias
has been national or political. Therefore other
texts are being prepared for the purpose, as stated,
OF correcting these errors, and presenting the plain
facts of American history, without leanings Of any
kind. Is such a thing possible? 1t is not.
1t is easy enough to present facts Of history
quite a lot of them. But when we undertake to pre-
sent THE facts, we have a different task. 1t. is
quite evident that we cannot present all the facts
concerning even a very brief period. The best that
we can do is to make a selection. The decision as
to what particular facts are essential and which are
of little importance must be made by individuals,
and individuals look at the world through spectacles
the color. of which varies with the wearer, no two
being alike. The thing that appeals to one writer
as of Importance will strike another. as trivial,
though both are equally conscientious.
There is no such thing as an unbiased history,
and there never will be. The texts will all be COL
ored by the sentiments Of the writer. The advanced
student can read the production ofthe author whom
he knows to be biased in a particular direction and
make due allowance for the bias. The beginner
cannot do this. For the beginner perhaps we can
do no better than provide texts which have fairly
well met the tests of time and Of wide examination.

The question Of land armament is a difficult

force, Because naval uhits are more OF. less in plain

which cllaracterizes the conditions surrounding
land forces. But while it may notbe possible to be

"The Human Side" of immigration.

Mrs. Alexander P. Moore-Miss Lii
Ian Russell-sailed for Europe yester.
day at the instance of Secretary of
Labor Davis on mission which she
explained thus:
Mr.. Davis wants me to look into
the human side of the immigration
problem. He has known for long
time of my interest in those poor peo-
back because of scme defect. One
thing I want to find out is why the
passports Of delinquents are vlsed at
all. why they are ever allowed to en-
bark on a journey that ends in disap-
pointment. The fault lies in the other
side, not here"
This is an excellent way to express
the matter. There is a human side''
to the immigration question. and 1t
has been too long neglected. Many
people bound for the United States
have been accepted on shipboard at
foreign ports when every considera-
ton of fair dealing by them and by
this country called for halting them.
They themselves were probably not
so much to blame as those who should
have advised them. They were obey.
ing a natural feeling. Seeking bet.
terment Of condition. they were push.
ing toward the country recommended
to them as the garden spot Of the
earth. They knew nothing, or very lit.
tie, about the, terms of admission to
the garden.
Mrs. Moore will be absent several
months-time enough for taking a
wide look around and. digesting the
difficulty. Let US hope that every
facility may be afforded her for investi
eating the situation, and that her re.
port may throw light on a subject both
painful and difficult, and which the
world war has rendered Of more mo.
ment to America than ever before.
Our melting pot proposition Is now
under close examination.

readily handled. Fresh air is known
to be essential. There are certain pre-
ventives Of infection. Cases should be
very promptly isolated. It would not
be amiss for the federal public health
service and for all state health serv-
ices to give warnings against the
known causes Of spread as soon as the
first indication appears, if it should
come, that the disease has reached
America.
OF course, the hope is that there will
be no recurrence Of this dreadful all
ment over here. Its toll in 191S-19 was
a shocking one. The aftermath Of the
disease is most serious in it's effects.
So grave are the possibilities Of such
an outbreak that the most thorough
methods Of protection should be adopt
ed now against possible importation.
