LABOR URGED
TO SUPPORT
UNION STORES
Arkansas Federation Told
of Results Attained by
Farmers; Important Meet
ing at Pine Bluff.

Pine Bluff, May 4.-Farmers and
industrial laborers should invest
their earnings in cooperative enter
prisea which are needed to drive out
the old order of exploitation which
has existed heretofore because there
WAC no organized opposition and by
this means a division Of the profits
of trade may be secured, declared
DR.. George l.. Sands, president OF
the Arkansas State Farmers Union,
in an address before the Arkansas
State Federation Of Labor here yes
terday morning. DR.. Sands explain
ed the plans adopted by the farm
crs' union for establishing. cooper
alive stores and banks in Arkansas
and told the labor delegates that if
they win join the farmers in this
movement the time viii soon come
when the cooperative system will
destroy the existing exploitation sy6-
tenn.
The address by DR.. Sands which
came at the close of the morning
session, was the principal feature
of that session. Next in interest
was discussion which ensued when
a resolution was introduced which
declared in favor of the soldier
bonus and urged that the govern
ment issue for this purpose special
currency to be retired by tax on
land values, No opposition to the
soldier bonus was voiced, several
Of the speakers strongly urging
that the former sailors and soldiers
be rewarded for their service, but
there was a difference in opinion
as TO the best means of raising the
revenue needed.
This brought up a discussion Of
the proposed tax on land values or
the well known single tax idea.
After considerable argument the res
olution was referred back to the
resolution committee to be rewrit-
ten into two resolutions, one in
regard to the soldier bonus and one
as to plan of raising the needed
revenue.

has been made by the farmers union

THE AMERICAN RACE,

Dr. Ales Hrdlicla, of the Smith
sonian Institution, addressing a
body Of scientists recently, called
the American race the infant of the
human family. Physically there is
yet no specifically defined Ameri-
can type. There are many types,
each representing the European ra-
cial group from which it came.
Mentally, there is an American
race, as clearly marked to the lpsy-
biologist as the scandinavian or
Greek or Chinese would be to the
ethnologist.
The American possesses an I'M
mistakable alertness, nervous en-
ergy, an atmosphere of intelligence
and independence which are pecu-
liarly his own.
If there, is any one inclined to
feel badly because there are no
physical race characteristics, he
should cheer up. There is more
cause for pride in these mental and
spiritual qualities which speak SO
plainly of the nations achievements,
ideals and opportunities.

BONUS PROSPECTS.

The American Legion is now en-
gagged in a national inquiry as to
the preferences of war veterans
with regard to compensation. What
ever the decision of the majority
may be, it will carry weight with
Congress and with the public.
Results so far are somewhat reas-
surfing as regards the state of mind
of the veterans themselves and the
probable effect of bonus legislation
on the country. In Kansas, for eX

ample, it is found that hardly any
of the men want the cash bonus.
Almost everywhere the men are said
to prefer the paid-up insurance and
home-aid provisions. Accordingly, it
is predicted that the measure will
probably limit cash payments to
$50, making no great drain on the
treasury Immediately.
The public objections to proposed
bonus measures have been based
mainly on the prospect of big
bonus paid in cash or credit. There
is naturally far less objection to
giving the men insurance policies
and aid in obtaining homes for
themselves, or special privileges of
land settlement such as may be pro-
yided in a separate land reclama-
ton bill

in establishing cooperative stores

law was secured, at the last SEES
sion of the legislature which legal
ICES cooperative enterprises and
since then SO of these stores have
been organized, and it is hoped to
have 900 by the time the next con-
vention is held.
when that is done we will have
the largest chain of cooperative
stores Of any organization in the

If they do, within 10 years the CO.
operative stores VIII be transacting
the mercantile business of the
state" he declared.
Dr. Sands also told of the plan
for establishing cooperative banks
which will "contol our money and
our credit"
He said that at present credit
is not extended to the farmer and
the labOrer as it should be. He also
told Of the selling agencies that are
being organized by the farmers of
the state, and urged the laboring
men to form consumers associations
in order that they may purchase
farm products direct from the pro-
ducers and prevent the middlemen
from absorbing the profit.

FIRE UNKNOWN

Hundred Thousand Dollars
Damage - Washington's
Fifth Strange Fire of Re-

(BY The United Preskl

Washington, May 3.--The United
States Treasury building was at
tackled by fire CT unknown origin
early this morning. A portion of
the roof was destroyed and the
damage is estimated at one hundred
thousand dollars. The fire of this
morning was the fifth mysterious

from an explosion in some chemicals
in the treasury blue print room.

in office, in order to give the or
ganization greater efficiency in gov
eminent. They too regard the num-
Der of representatives serving them
in the legislatures and in Congress
and on party committees as the
measure of their political efficien-
'cy."
This is hardly fair. Women
now half the voters, have been
promised a square deal in politics,
and square deal certainly ought
to give them a good deal larger rep
resentation than they have yet OBJ
tanned in our political machinery
efforts, either, by the charge of
practical politics." That term can
mean whatever anybody wants it to
|mean. 1t is generally recognized
THAT women have pretty high politi-
zeal Ideals, and if they can realize
those ideals in our public life by
practical means, more power to
them!
There are plenty of able women.
For the present, at least, the wom-
en- active in public life are probably
Iof better caliber, on the average,
than are the men in public life.
Where they have gone into office,
legislative or executive, they have
usually improved things. Few dis
believe that they would do any
worse than the men have done.
They may do better. The combina-
Ition, too, of men and women in
public affairs may raise the stand
ards and efficiency of both.

PARAGoULD soLIPHoNE. FRIDAY, MAY S, 1922.

some source or other. The diplo-
matte turmoil at Genoa, the differ
ences between England and France,
1.-THE fears of Poland and Roumania,
| the insolent marshalling Of troops by
the Soviet government, all have in
ltensified the worlds anxiety in re-
cent days.
1t is all disquieting enough and
lamentable enough, but it is not to
be taken too seriously. A moderate
degree Of preparedness is wise, no
doubt, in every country that can
afford it, but there is no need OF
panic The nations are disconnected
and resentful and quarrelsome, but
not bellicose. The psychology of
Europe today is not a war psychol-
ogy. Statesmen may buster, but
it is evident to any careful OBJ
server that the nations do not want
to fight.
now, and they know well enough
who do the fighting in warfare and
what it means to them. The people
of every belligerent country have
had enough fighting, and the people
of every neutral country have seen
enough Of it. They are not eager
any more to kill and be killed.
They know the hollowness of the
old catehwords with which states
men charmed millions to war fury.
They know the hollowness and flu
tility of war itself.
The statesmen know, too. They
understand now how little can be
gained from victory and how much
can be lost in defeat. They know
that there are literally no victors
of the last war, and that another
war would leave even less possibility
of gain, in indemnities or extension
of empire.
If the nations fight, therefore,
they will fight in sheer malice, to
destroy each other; and they are
hardly so insane yet as to attempt
that.
The real stl rggle is for economic
advantage by peaceful means. 1t
may be easily seen, therefore, where
in real preparedness lies. The big
game today is the laying of eco
nomic lines for reconstruction and
future development, and it is this
work with which craftsmanship
ought to be primarily concerned
rather than questions of armies and
navies and balances of military
power and punishment for past Of
lenses.

LOUD-sPEAKING TELEPHONERs.

The loud-speaklng telephone is
said to be giving the radiophone
a hard race for popularity. That's
perfectly satisfactory to most of us
as long as it doesn't mean an in

ing telephone-users, whose unpopu-
larity now stands in a class by it

There are people who appear
never to grasp any of the scientific
principles of the miracle of the
telephone They retain to the end
the idea that they must shout loud
enough to project their voices, as
through n long tube, to the distant
listener. The fact that the other
party rarely understands them with
out numerous repetitions never gets
to them. Neither does the fact that
it is a painful thing to be close
to receiver from which the harsh
and scratchy shouts emerge.
Here is a matter to which the ma
ton might we'll devote a special
week, putting on a big drive against
speaking into telephone transmitters
