Senator o. e. Wheeler, of Maryland,
has dandy state organization. He has
to have, to be elected to the senate as
la republican, from that state.
When Hill challenged his leadership
for Hills a republican, too-Weller
turned his organizations guns on HILL
a political casualty.
Hill was badly wounded but he
wasn't killed. He made run that win
entitle him to subsequent consideration
Weller's shot and she'll got him, but it
took a lot of shot and shell. And for
a short time, while they were count
ing the returns, it looked like any
body's fight.
1t remains yet to be seen whether
Weller wins at the polls in November.
Maryland is n peculiar state. Why
should it have a democratic governor,
who wins in a walk, and a democratic
senator, who sweeps the boards every
time, and yet have a republican SEN
ator, too, and two republican repre-
sentatives, out Of total of six?

Editorial Comment

(St. Paul DAILY News)


What little thing, s. net.mes, makes millions OF
dollars difference to the farmers of this northwest
country.
Take the recent announcement, for instance, of
the decision of w. A. Jardinc, secretary Of agricu
ture, that the order banning the Of the Perkins
cleaner in cleaning wheat samples is to be rescind
ed. It is estimated BY the crap experts that this
single governmental order will save the wheat grow
crs from $l6,0Ooooo to $2O,oOoO 900 profit their
1926 crop.
The use Of the cleaner makes 1t possible to grade
wheat higher and adds from eight to 10 cents
more bnshsl to the price paid the farmer. It had
been used for almost two years BY the state grain
inspection department Then suddenly an order
came from Washington banning it.
o. p. B. Jacobson, member Of the Minnesota rail-
road and warehouse commission, got the other state
grain officials together and they proceeded to Wash
ington to ask that the order be rescinded. They
were soon able TO convince the secretary that it
was mistake.
This incident serves as proof, il further proof be
needed, that price of wheat to the farmer does not
depend upon the workings of the usual economic
law Of supply and demand.
II simple order by federal department can
take away $500 600 from the wheat growers, Row
much Is taken away by other practices which decree
what the farmer In to be paid for his crop?

The Crime Wave

While police officials Throughout the nation are
busy giving out that here are no features Of the
present crime situation to be alarmed at and while
they are denying that any "crime wave" exists,
or could exist under their wellnigh perfect systems
Of protection, those same officials are asking big
increases in their department personnel. In New
York City the present police commissioner has
asked for 1864 additional patrolmen.
II there is no crime wave II there is nothing to
Be- alarmed at, why all the additional patrolmen !!
Of 6SO9Sa the police budget II there is need
Tor it?
The answer is that there is a need for more eff
cient methods Of afforne adequate protection from,
the underworld than exists in most police depart
mcnts tosay. II the commissioners Of police were
t. openly declare that state Of siege obtained with
the underworld on one side and the organized police
force On the other, then that would reflect upon
their efficiency, they reason.
But apparently they do not realize that they give
themselves away when they ask Tor more men in
their departments. II no crime wave exists, then

The Road Lesson of Minnesota
/ Cedar Rapids, Iowa, Republican,
- ~~.l .~~A~ -

Iowa doesn't know what good roads are.
To be sure, in some practically isolated cases it
has few miles Of highways that compare favorably
with anything one may find any place. but they are
only jumping off places-intervals at which one
jumps off into the mud again.
Taken by Ind large, this state has no compre-
hensive system Of all-weather roads over which
can travel any distance with any comparative assur
ance Of arriving ct his destination.
One does not need to 60 far to find this out. A
short trip into the neisbbofins 3ttel3f MipAesota
Is enough T. convince almost any Iowan that his
home state has done little more than make . hare
beginning in the matter Of all-ysar.round highways.
In Minnesota there are just two kinds Of roads
gravel and concrete. II one is within so miles Of
the big cities he is paving. he is 100 or more
miles away from Minneapolis or Duluth he Is on
gravel. Finding dirt roads in Minnesota is like
finding paving in Iowa-one has to hunt for it.
Whether one chooses to 60 from the southern end,
say at Lyle where the Iowa. Minnesota state line be-
gins, on up 10 international Falls where the Cana
dian boundary lies, or whether he prefers to shoot
across country from Duluth to Bemid he has either
gravel or paving I'll the way.
Signs are plentiful and conspicuous. giving one
information the distance turns curves, hills rail-
rcads-even bumps that in Iowa would never be mo-
tice4-because there are so many Of them.
For miles and miles and miles, from great half
million cities up into dense mpenetrable forests and
busy lumber camps they stretch. these roads that
are revelation to any outsider.
The>wonder Of Minnesota's roads hes not 50 much
IN the fact that the state has them . Il does IN the
additional fact that they are supreely Maintained.
