Just why Union Labor should turn
down Governor Len Small because of
what the Mccormick, Brundage, Chi
cago Tribune faction of the Repub-
lican party has said about him has
not been made clear.
Certainly Union Labor has no cause
to oppose the governor in his candi-
dacy for a second nomination. In
practically every instance where the
cause of Union Labor has been at
stake during the Small incumbency
Labor has been granted a square deal.
This fact should commend him to the
Republicans within the ranks of Union
Labor.
On the contrary Mr.. Essington, who
will be the governors opponent in the
Republican primaries, has been de-
cidedly unfriendly toward Labor as a
state senator
1t would seem to Union Laborers
in general that there can be but one
consistent course to take and that is
to support Governor Small's candi-
dacy. Workmen should know on which
side their bread is buttered and vote
consistently and intelligently.
Union Labor has received nothing
but opposition from The Chicago Trib-
une. Neither has Governor Small.
There should be ample opportunity
for the Governor and Union Labor to
get together in opposition to a COM
mon enemy.

Efforts to organize a farmers union
with the purpose in view of fixing
a minimum price for farm products
and thus insuring a just return for
the farmers labor are being widely
advertised through newspaper an
nouneements ard pamphlets designed
to kindle an interest in the proposed
organization.
Suggestions in news articles that
have come to The Reviews notice in
dictate that the promoters of this or
ganization have less meritorious aim
in a purpose to control production,
which may mean that they intend to
decrease the quantity of production
and thereby force the price of farm
products upward.
To the extent that this organiza-
ton proposes to solve the farmers
problem of marketing his products
to an advantage Union Labor will en-
dorse the movement; but it may be
questioned whether the farmer has an
inherent right, or even a legal right,
to do exactly what he has soundly
condemned the Spectator for doing,
namely, to hold his products in ware
houses until the price is automatically
advanced to whatever figure he may
arbitrarily consider "just and fair"
to himself, or to curtail production
in the hope that the scarcity of farm
products will force the price up
ward
Before the ultimate consumer en-
dorses this proposed organization it
will be well for him to consider how
far a farmers union may carry its
point beyond what is legitimate and
practical. The wisdom of any scheme
to curtail production may well be
questioned by the consumer whose
very life depends largely upon the
quantity of the nations food supply.
What may be source of wealth to
the farmer may prove disagreeable
annoyance, not to say serious detri-
ment, to the consumer who must pay
the highest market price for what he
eats and wears.
Union Labor cannot consistently op-
pose a sane and practical organiza-
ton of farmers on the principles of
union labor if such an organization is
possible. But when the promoters of
Twin city review. [volume] (Champaign, Ill.) 19??-1929, 1924-03-14

pense of public improvement. Mr..
Burrows insists that there should be a
stopping place.
1t is not difficult to agree with Mr..
Burrows premise, but when he insists
upon using his premise in an extended
misconstruction Of The Review editor
ial he shoots wide of his mark, and
succeeds only in creating a false i'm
preston in the minds of his readers,
many of whom it may be assumed, did
not read The Review editorial.
Mr.. Burrows charges The Review as
saying that taxes ought not to be re-
duced. The Review said There
should be equitable adjustment of city
and farm taxes. Some enterprises
may justly be assessed in larger
amounts than others. To make this
adjustment is the work of sane tax
boards. The burden of taxation may
be reduced in localities where taxa
ton is not equitably distributed, 1t is
obviously the business of tax boards to
make an adjustment that will insure
equity"
Mr. Burrows further charges The
Review as saying that taxes should be
increased becaues prosperity is certain
to follow. The Review said the re-
verse: Increased taxation is a logical
sequence of general community devel-
opment.'
From such distortions Mr.. Burrows
gathers inspiration for an editorial on
buying oneself rich. His construc-
ton reminds one of a pastor of the
old school who grew indignant because
the women of his congregation in
listed upon wearing a bonnet called
a top not"
Looking about for suitable text
to preach against the fad the pastor
came upon one in the Gath chapter of
Matthew where Christ prophesies the
fall of Jerusalem: "Let him which
is upon the house top not come down
to take anything out of his house."
Not all of the passage suited his pur-
pose so he proceeded to extract the
phrase "ton not come down." Around
this text he preached his sermon pre-
dieting the fall of the top-not. The
trouble with Mr.. Burrows criticism
is that it applies more nearly to the
destruction of Jerusalem than to The
Review editorial.

Few readers probably take note of
what the church papers think of
Woodrow Wilson. He, more than any
modern statesman, has expressed in
a national way what the church has
expressed in large measure during the
course of its history.
For concentrated faith in the late
president no editorial better expressed
the churches view of Mr.. Wilson than
the following paragraph from the
War Cry, chief organ of the Saliva
ton Army:
In the passing of Woodrow Wilson
America loses one of its most striking
personalities and the world its great
est advocate of internationalism and
universal peace. No matter how the
balance of time may weigh his work
and the benefcence Of his influence
upon mankind, none will ever doubt
the burning sincerity and the courage
Gus rectitude of the man. Upon his
shoulders weighed burdens heavier
than any president since Lincoln has
been called upon to sustain. He, like
Harding, is a victim of his unstinted
unselfish service to the nation, and as
such he is entitled to the deepest love
and the highest honor Americans
know how to bestow. He sought that
which was intelligent, humane and
necessary to the continuance of civil
cation. If i transpires that he failed
in part, if war again sweeps the world,
he at least has had the honor of for
mulating the first notable world peace
policy, on which any subsequent struc-
ture for universal peace must stand.
He was a Christian gentleman, a
notable citizen and a true friend of
humanity.

this organization insist that their plan
is similar to that of Union Labor
they commit a serious error. Labor
does not seek to control the output Of
mill and factory. 1t does not attempt
to restrict building to a minimum. 1t
endorses every plan suggested for in
creased output and increased indus
try.
The two situations are scarcely
parallel in any particular. The farm
er's union, as indicated by what a
few of its votaries say of it, is more
nearly on a par with the SPECTATOR
who forces the price of his wares up
ward by creating a scarcity.
Obviously the bankers are asked TO
extend credit for the promotion of a
plan which will in no sense relieve
the pressure on the consumers pocket
book, but on the contrary is more
likely to increase his burden.
Recent legislation has served to
control in a large measure the evils
arising through speculation in farm
products. No longer is it probable
that Spectator will buy up all the
produce on the market and let it
mould in warehouses while the price
advances. Having curtailed this evil
it would be folly for the consumer to
endorse a similar plan whereby the
farmer may organize under a board
of control with power to be as arbi
trary and conscieneeless in fixing price
schedules as a Spectator.
The farmers union may not intend
to do all this, but that it may achieve
such ends, if farmers prove as self
centered as food spectators is fore
gone conclusion.
The farmer is entitled to shorter
hours and higher prices for his labor.
Modern invention has reduced his day
materially. A sane organization with
the end in view of minimizing the
burden of the consumer while the
farmer benefits himself, will increase
his profits without the necessity of
curtailing production.

The farmer has a lot to learn be-
fore he will be able to form an effec-
tive union. He will learn first that
his organization will soon disinte-
CRATE if membership is placed upon a
free basis.
The average man appreciates what
he pays for more than what is given
him outright; yet the farmers union
proposes to keep township, county and
state boards at work in an advisory
capacity and field agents employed
without any fund to pay for their
services. Such plan will last one
season-perhaps. 1t will be surpris-
ing if it continues longer.
He will learn eventually that a
pledge from a bankers organization
to finance him while he holds his crop
for fixed price will be easily broken,
unless the interest more than offsets
the profit he expects to gain through
waiting until the price automatically
advances.
He will learn that banks cannot en-
dure the strain, and that some farm
ers will not keep faith with the banks,
and he will learn that membership in
the farmers union will be forfeited
by many others when the squeeze be-
comes too tight.
He will learn that a contract with
out a rigid enforcement clause and
with no penalty in the law to enforce
its terms will be broken promiscuous-
ly with the utmost indifference; and
he will learn that farmers will not
join a speculative project if tied too
tightly by contracts and penalties
should they eventually be found neces-
sary in maintaing the organization.

creating a fund that serves as a bank

Judging from the outward appear
ance the enthusiasm of farmers over
the proposed farmers union is no
more than a temporary enthusiasm,

the general discomfort due to prevail

ALEXANDRIA. Va, Nov. 21.--
Leaning across his bench, with her
finger shaking in rage, Mrs. Mable
German. 1892 South Patrick street,
today In the Alexandria police
court, hurled epithets at Judge Al.
B. Nicol until court officials put
her in the detention room for con-
tempt.
When Policeman z. D. Hines took
q hold of her. she fought him,
screaming at the top OF her voice.
Director Of Public Safety Paul B.

her companion, giving his nance as
William Taylor, and saying he was
her brother-in.law started forward.
Captain Of Police H. j. Durrer
grabbed him.
Taylor was allowed to try and get
her from the room. AS the couple
reached the steps she flung an
other epithet at the court. Judge
Nicol then ordered Hines and Nor
ton to put her in the detention
room.
Mrs. German had appeared in
court as prosecuting witness against
Henry Cropsey, alias Thompson,
carpenter, charging him with using
abusive language and assaulting
her.
She told the Judge that Cropsey
was fixing house adjoining her
property and in doing so he dam.
aged the property. When she
demonstrated with him, she said, he
used profane language to her and
then caused a blind to fall against
her scratching her neck.
The judge ordered that Cropsey
should continue work, and that an
officer should watch him and at the
first sign of disturbance he was to
be brought to court. He dismissed
the charges against Cropsey.
1t was at this juncture that Mrs.
German began her. TRADE
