Sizing Up Things.

In sizing up things, especially
those having a bearing on local con-
ditions, it is well to remember that
there is more than one angle from
which question may be viewed.
Far too many people err iniudg-
ment purely from haste and over
zealoLsness.
Impressions are aften formed at
first glance, and unless a person
is willing to examine beneath the
surface ana consider all available
facts, those first impressions will
remain and become fixed convic-
lions, irrespective of whether they
are right or wrong.
Injustice to a good cause is often
done by this method of sizing up
things and Unreasonable harm to an
individual, group of individuals or
a whole community may result.
Then there is a class of citizens
who, having formed a hasty con-
clusion, refuse to recede from their
position, even when confronted with
lndlsputable proof of their error of
judgment. That is pure and UNI
adulterated stubborness.
But here, as elsewhere, there are
many people who are quick to form
impressions, but are willing to, and
do, analyze the arguments of the
opposition, and are completely
changed as the result of the addi-
tional information thus acquired.
Sizing up local conditions is an
admirable trait, but undue haste in
forming lasting conclusions is much
to be regretted.
Best results are obtained by TAX
ing a calm survey of the situation
from every conceivable viewpoint
before taking definite stand.
Communities prosper and grow
when their citizens adopt this plan.

SENATOR PEPPERS "KEYNOTE''

Senator Pepper of Pennsylvania
in a keynote address before the
Republican State Convention in
Maine pointed to the policies to which
the Republican Administration is
profoundly committed as the argu-
ment for the retention of the party
in power
And that is 4 fair basis of judg-
ment. The address may we'll be
taken as a keynote for the coming
campaign.
With Congress organized as it is
with Republicans in the minority in
both houses and the opposition at
tempting to play partisan politics to
the limit, judgment cannot be based
upon leg islative accomplishment but
must be considered in the light of
forces.
The President has attempted to Sc
cure the passage of the Mellon tax
reduction program which would not
only reduce income taxes but would
help all business. 1t is purely a
ncnpartisan measure designed solely
for the benefit of all the people. The
vast majority of the people are de-
handing its passage. If it even
italy passes it will be because the
Administration has stood firm for it,
and if it fails, it will not be because
Of the lack of Republican support.
Senator PEPPER also points to the
fact that the Administrator stands
pledged to maintain the tariff, to
program for sound farm relief, to
the passage of child labor amend
ment, to adequate restriction of i'm
migration, to the unfolding of the
Supreme Court and the Constitution.
While these arc some of the issues,
they by no means include all Of the
issues. The Republican Party has
never appealed to the voters on
stronger economic program than the
one with which it will enter this
years national campaign. - Fargo

LABELLING HARD WHEAT FLOUR

Congressman Burtness is doing
good service by bringing TO attention
the subject Of labelling flour in &C
cordance with the sort Of wheat
from which 1T is made. The bill
which he has introduced proposes
that flour shall be considered mis-
branded unless there appears on the
container declaration whether it
is made of hard spring wheat, hard
w.naer wheat, soft wheat, or a mix
ture of two or more kinds.
The idea upon which the bill is
based IS that the customer is entitled
TO know what he is buying, and
that If he prefers n particular kind
o. wheat flour he ought to be
able to learn from the label
whether or not he is getting it.
The purpose of the bill is, very
frankly, to increase the demand for,
and consequently the price of the
hard spBing wheat grown in the
northwest. 1t is Il matter of
common knowledge that flour
made from such wheat is supc-
r.or in several respects than other
flour, and that some admixture Of
this wheat is necessary in order to
make the very best flour. Hence,
information given by means of
labels is expected to enhance the
price Of the northwestern wheat.
Mr.. Burtness invites discussion Of
his bill, to the end that an intclli-
gent decision on it's merits may be
made. There seems to be scarcely
room for doubt as to the con-
stitutionality of such law. Neither
does it appear that any legitimate
interest can suffer from it's passage
There may be objection to it on the
ground that it will tend to exaggcr-
ate the differences in flour made
from different kinds of wheat, and
that it will tend to create the i'm
preston that soft or mixed wheat
flours are scarcely fit for use. Pos
sibly objections Of this kind may
serve to defeat the bill.
Even if this should be the case,
there is no good reason why at least
some portion Of the benefit which
it is hoped to realize through the
passage of the bill should not be
achieved by the independent action
of the manufacturers of hard wheat
flour. The northwestern miller, for
instance, who uses only northwestern
wheat, could use in addition to his
regular some such description as
Made wholly from hard spring
wheat" No flour made from other
wheat could lawfully be so labeled.
The use Of such label ought to
give very material advantage
