parison of the three states, there
fore, ought to show some results
favorable to the La Toilette idea If
there are any such, and this has
been done by the Independent in its
current issue.
The cost of government in Wis
consin, the Independent finds, has
grown from $2,997, ,155 in the year
1900 to $32, 2,191 ,049 in 1922. Rough
ly, the government of Wisconsin is
eleven times more expensive now
than it was % years ago. During
the came period the population of the
state has grown from 2,069,042 to
2,632,067 or about 27 per cent. In
times what it used to cost in Wis
consin to govern a population which
has increased less than 80 per cent.
Now for the comparisons. Mich
igan makes the best showing with
per capita cost of government of
$5.57. Minnesota comes next with
5000. Wisconsin ranks third with
$12.23!
The Independent finds that the rea-
son for this is the fact that, during
the 22-year period sixty-fve new
boards and commissions were Great
ed in Wisconsin. All of them are
charged with the expenditure of state
funds. Ten Of them spend more than
$2,0O0,000 year in the regulation
of business carried on within that
state.
If the La Toilette idea, as it is ex-
emplified in Wisconsin, should be ex-
tended to the national government,
the government budget which now
deals with hundreds of millions and
billions of dollars, would be written
in terms of trillions and quadrillions.
Eighteen billion dollars for the ac-
QUESTION of the railways would be the
merest drop in the bucket.
Mr.. La Toilette is the leading ex-
pOnent of the idea of making a new
law, and appointing a new board in
order to correct every i'll Of the body
polite and the body economic. Mr..
Coolidge, on the other hand, is the
leading exponent of the theory of
simplifcation and the application of
strict economy to the administration
Of public affairs. In his address of
acceptance the President put the thing
in nutshell when he said that he
wanted the American people to work
less for the government and more for
themselves. In advocating public
owership, Mr.. La Toilette is taking
the converse of the proposition. He
wants the people to work more for
the gvernment and less for them
selves.
This issue, at least, is fairly drawn.
Everybody can understand it. The
Independent has assisted greatly in
this task of education by calling at
tention to the results of La Toilette
ism as shown by the cost of govern
ment in our sister state.-St. Paul

N. W. Farm Gross
Cash Income Gains
N. ID. WITH S215,O00,0O0 SHOWS
IS PER CENT INCREASE-MIN-
NESOTA HAS Z PER CENT.

Gross cash income of farmers of
to $215, 100000, or rs per cent more
than in 1928, according to bulletin
made public by Chicago agricultur-
al economic service. Minnesota far
mers will have a gross cash income
per cent greater that than last
year, South Dakota 13 per cent, and
Montana Is per cent. Wisconsin's
gross cash income will be l per cent
less than last year.
The total gross cash income of Min
nesota farmers for 1924 is estimated
at $405 100000 In 1923, it was fgur-
ed at $3.50, 100000. The total cash
income for South Dakota this year
is estimated at $4,000, 900, and in
1923, $188,00O,OO0.
The total 1924 cash income for Mon
tana is estimated at $115, ,00O, 900, and
in 1928, at $101, 100000.
The gain in Minnesota is explained
as derived from the increasing value
of livestock, the small grain crop
with its advanced prices, the large
potato crop, and the expanded dairy
industry, registering gain in gross
return despite slightly lowered pric-
es. These gains are offset by the
lateness of the corn crop.
"Dairying seems to have reached
the limit of its profitable expansion"
the bulletin issued by Howard Moor
house, Inc, said. Sudden disasters
do not overtake an industry that
moves as slowly as the dairy indus
try, and no disaster has overtaken it;
but both prices and gross cash sales
appear to have passed the peak and
the trend is downward"

LODGE AND WILSON IN
 HALF A CENTURY

Senator Henry Cabot Lodge was the author of innumerable books upon historical subjects and bio- graphy. Woodrow Wilson likewise was an author, devoted to history, economics, and government.
 Yet each failed to write the book that would have been of in- estimable value to the nation and other historians. Each was inti- mately connected with the political backwash of the war; Wilson sought to engrave his ideals into American participation with the League of Nations as the climax Of American participation in the war; Lodge sought, and succeeded. in stemming the tide toward national cooperation with other nations and kept America isolated" along with Germany, Russia, Mexico and a few minor nations.
 Either the partisans of Wilson were right or the partisans Of Lodge were right: either all the nations comprising the League of Nations today are right, or the United States, one of the handful outside the league. is rigbt

 nous controversy known only to the two chiet contenders. Before they died each had in mind the writing of their memoirs upon the subject. which were to be a com plete barring of every cross.current of subterranean contention which never came to light. When the war president died he had made a be- ginning, but left only scattered memoranda of the great human document he was to compile, When illness struck down Lodge he had made a beginning upon his own memoirs. conhding to friends that it would be his last and greatest effort; but he never got further than a sketchy start. The work was left undone.
 These two men. who in later years developed the quintesscnce of animosity toward each other, were known to one another for half a century. Wilson always remembered their first dealings, but Lodges memory had to be rekindled at meeting of the two at Q function in Washington incident to the inau- guration of Wilson in 1913, when the twain met. The story is that Lodge remarked to the president that the latter may have forgotten, but the two had met at a college commencement at Princeton a few years previously. But the president smiled that he remembered the senator Hong before that--a man never forgets the editor who pub fishes his first article"
 And 50 Lodge, on returning to Nahant, delved into his old files and there discovered q letter from Wilson written when Lodge was editor of the International Review, in the late 70's. Wilson was then student at Princeton and had written an article on governments.
 In the 70's Lodge thought 50 much of Wilson's political treatise that he published it in the maga- zine he was editing; in 1919, and 1920 Lodge thought 50 little of the maturer Judgments of Wilson that he led a senatorial revolt against placing them into practical use. Half century, with partisan poli- tics as mentor of one mind and idealism as the guiding star of the other. led to the most bitter per- sonal controversy in modern Amer ican statesmanship, a. controversy that affected the status of the coun- try in that concert of nations which it's president had been the chief means of creating.

IN WHICH WE DEFEND CHURCH SUFFERS

The election being safely to the rear, and the necessity having passed for producing from three to four columns of editorials a day on politics, more politics and still more politics, some energetic and imaginative editorial writer on the Hartford Times the other day took to a more popular and engrossing theme. He "penned philippic," as the sophomores say, about church suppers.
 According to this critical-minded gentleman, church suppers in New England have been steadily de- creasing in edible value. Time was, he opined. when 1t was possible to "fill up" for 25 cents at any church supper in these fair tier of states; but those days, he intimated, are no more. Not only do the church suppers cost more, but, by heck, they produce less in available chow.
 When the church supper cynic includes all New England in h!s sweeping generalization he neces- sarily includes New Britain. And just here is where there sprouts an acute and prickly disagreement. And our main thesis, contention. platform plank and basis of argu- ment is that we have partaken of some church suppers in New Brit ain, while the Hartford generalissimo of gastronomic pasquinade evident ly hasn't.
 True. church suppers in this up- and-coming town as a rule are no longer so low down in the financial scale as to cost only 25 cents--a figure that even before the war had gained a verdict of unpopularity among the energetic women who provide "sumptuous" church sup pers for the hungry multitudes. The New Britain suppers set back the participants as high as 76 cents -- which usually provides some entertainment as well as sat- ing material.
 The Hartford critiqus concludes that canned ham and potatoes are the rule in modern New England church suppers, We pity Hartford. No wonder there is a hungry look about the denizens of the burg. We in New Britain get much better fodder than that at any church supper, even the most unpreten- tious. There are church suppers in this epicurean citadel of a city which will compare favorably with the French chefs masterpieces at the Bond hotel: in fact, that pom- pous functionary can do no better than come here occasionally and watch our bands of greasa-conoucr' ing culinary marvels perform lr producing New England's finest tongue-tickling delights - and all for a nominal fee without cover charges.
 Some enterprising New Britain church can do no better than to tn' pite the entire galaxy of Times edi' tors to the next supper, admitting them as dead heads, and gorg!nf them in such a manner that they will never again venture to critl

NEW HAVEN AWAKENS
 TO LOCAL NEEDS

TO LOCAL NEEDS
 The first net result of the agita- tion for the improved passenger railroad facilities in New Britain Is a promise from c. L. Bardo, general manager of the New Haven ,, rail- road, that the "dinky" service be- tween the Berlin and New Britain stations will be gasolinized--not with automobiles, but with a gaso- line coach operating upon the pres ent rails between the two stations.
 This will be no doubt thankfully received. The present onery-looking contraption palpitating between the two stations appears to date from the early 7O's. Newcomers to the city, who enter the peariy gates via Berlin, as most of them do, no longer will need to ask whether the dinky is going to New Britain or is a branch line for milk trains to Podunk.
 The general manager of the rail- road is to be congratulated upon realizing that progress is an essen- tial to good railroad management, and that improved facilities are a concomitant of progress that im- presses itself upon the minds of the public quicker than statistics about ton miles" and freights.
 The proposal to construct a new passenger station at or near the site of the old brewery contiguous to the Newington line is being agitated by various civic forward-lookers and the general manager has at least promised careful consideration by the engineering department of the railroad. How quick things of this nature move is indicated by the managers reported statement that 1t will take from three to six months to make a decision.
 The claim was made in the city that the ever increased use of auto mobile busses is hurting the pas senger business of the railroads and that it is regarded as poor business to expend heavy sum- upon new stations. On the surface, there ap- pears logic in the argument; bu, when the stations get down to such 6 low level of looks. efficiency and general dissatisfaction as the pas senger terminal arrangements 1T New Britain. something will have to be done regardless. The same condition existed in Springfield where a large new station is under construction; several years ago new station had to be constructed 1T Worcester: about ten years ago new large one had to be constructed in Rochester, N. Y.--all for similar reasons as those existing in New Britain, that the old stations wer' woefully inadequate. New Britain Is not a little village that need bt satisfied with village facilities It passenger facilities are perhaps thu worst in New England. The NeV Haven is doing very well in this cit! as regards its total business, mor' so than in any city of it's size in thu state, if not in New England; ant the city is entitled to a passenge station iu conformity with its i'm nnrtaOre
