REACT1ONARIES

A lot of progressives having gone
reactionary, the reactionaries now
take up progressive policy. l..
1t was the progressives who pro
posed the plan of having constitu-
tional amendments ratified by the
people,. rather than by the leglsla-
lures of the various states.
The purpose was to assure action,
not later than the next election, and
to have that action directly by the
people.
Now come the reactionaries, who
do not believe in constitutional
amendments at all, and make the
same proposal, with the hope that
it would make ratifications less like.
! ly.
For the present, they are doubt
less right. The people, just now are

But they do not stay so, and wher
they are aroused, they will some
times venture bolder steps than thei1
representatives.

If they get their amendmen
adopted, they may find it the cause
some day, of the very amendmen
they most fear.

SOLVING THE
RAISlN PROBLEM
Students of agricultural co-operaa-
ton will do we'll to note the latest
step of the California raisin growers,
who have had, probably, longer
experience in cooperation than any
other farmers in America. ,-
So many vineyards have been
planted in the rasin district that in
! good year they can produce more
raisins than the country will eat.
Even a small surplus may depress
the market ruinously to the growers,
while cheapening raisins to the con
sumers scarcely at all.
So the organized growers, now
highly capitalized company, with
huge packing plants and distribution
systems, put experts to work to f'nd
an >outlet for the surplus.
They have devised way of MAX
ing high-class sirup from the excess
raisins, and now the growers will
erect a factory and 60 into the sirup
business.
There will be raisins for sale to
whoever wants to buy raisins, IN
whatever quantity the market Will
take-and no more.
All the rest will go on The mar
ket in the form or another, non
competing food.
Thus a problem is solved by CO.
4 operation which could never have
been solved by separate effort
whether by growers or packers.

an explosion Of terrific force
blew open the sidewalk at Four

and threw q manhole 100 feet in

The workmen, in charge Of g.
wv. Edwards and w. j. Grenfell,

called to locate a. burning cable
midway between / and K streets.
The point of contact was found
and the men went along opening

and they were walking toward
the last one when the explosion
occurred.
Several of them were thrown to
the sidewalk and the others ran 10

A space of sidewalk about ten
feet square was entirely torn up,
but since it happened at an early
hour, few pedestrians were on the
street. The explosion was heard
for distance of several blocks.
The trouble was caused by a
short circuit in the cable that con-
trolls the electric current in the sec

residents OF that section were with
out lights until repair could be
made. The gas was the result OF
burning oil and rosin.

A revival of the Mall project
involving confirmation Of the or

all property south of Pennsylvania
avenue from the Capitol to Four
teenth street, for park purposes
will come in the next Congress.
Congressman Charles l.. Under
hill, of Massachusetts, member OF
the House District Committee. today
acquainted President Coolidge with
the plan of pressing the legislation
and asked his support. The Presi.
dent was noncommittal, being appre.
hensive that the plan will cost too
much.
Not more than $4,000, 900 will be
required to purchase the property
by condemnation, Congressman Tn
derhill thinks. He pointed out to-
day that If the project is allowed
to drift for few more years, i'm
provement of Is street in connection
with the Arlington memorial bridge
approaches will make a part OF rhe
property much more valuable and
more difficult to purchase.
Fifteen squares, four reservations,
and sixteen lots are included in the
bill which Congressman Underhill
has prepared. The property lying
between Fourteenth and Fifteenth
streets already has been acquired by
the Federal Government and awaits
improvements. The two blocks at
the eastern apex of the project are
to be purchased under the appro-
priation already provided for in the
