Large profits irregularly distribut-

The other day this commission had hearing on
the Plentywood light rates and entered an order
which purported to lower the rates, but which ac-
tually about doubled the rates
1t is a body whose only function is to rouge
the face Of robbery.
There is just one thing to do with the Railroad
and Public Service Commission and that is to abol-
ish it at the first possible opportunity. The
Farmer-Labor group came within a hair of put
ting a bill to abolish this Commission through the
House in the 18th Assembly, and had it not been
for the fine oriental hand of l. Parker Vesey state
counsel and general fixer for the Great Northern
railroad and the Dago fryers Gum, Rasch &
Hall, attorneys, babblers and fixers for the
Northern Pacific railroad, that useless and expen-
sive body would have been abolished at that time.
1t is likely that it will be impossible because of
the grip that these roads have upon the throats
of the public, to ever get rid of the incubus by
means Of the legislature, and so it seems mat
ter of wisdom to take the necessary steps to mi
tiate bill to abolish this body; to submit it to
the voters of the state at the next general cleo

Britain's S Exports Of Cotton
Shrink Rapidly

Signs of decay in the worlds most
far-flung capitalist empire come to
light in a U. S. department of COM
merce report on present and prewar
British cotton cloth exports. The de-
partment's figures indicate that grow
ing hostility to English exploitation,
coupled with expanding industriaIism
in the empires provinces, is sapping
the vitality of industry at home by
drying up its markets.
British cotton cloth exports, ac-
cording to the report, totaled 7,O75,-
252,O00 square yards in 1913. By
1925 they had fallen to 4,435,618, 900
yards while in 1926 they fell to g.
834 4,448,000 yards. The quantity ex-
ported in 1926 was 311a@6 less than
in 1925 and 41% 90 less than in 1913.
In contrast with the cotton indus
try in the United States, which finds
hcme market for more than 900
of its production, the British indus
try mLSr export 800 to 900 of its
production to avoid chronic depreg-
sion.
Prior to the war British cotton
manufacturers found their principal
markets in the so-called backward
countries on which England had fore
ed its economic yoke. India alone
took 3,057, 1851 900 yards in 1913. Chi
ma came second with 716,533,O 900
yards of English cotton. South Am
erico took 538,923,OOO yards and Tur-
key 36O,742,OOO.

THE IMMUTABILTTY OF MORALS

There IS unquestionably nothing to be found
IN the world which has undergone so little change
as those great 'dogmas of which moral systems
are composed. To do good to others; to sacrifice
for their benefit your own wishes; to love YOUR
neighbor as yourself; to forgive your enemies: to
restrain your passions; to honor your parents; to
respect those who set over you,-these and
few others are the sole essentials of morals: but
they have been known for thousands of wears. and
not one ot or title has been added to them bv all
the sermons, homilies, and textbooks which NOR
allsts and theologians have been able to produce
But II we contrast this stationary aspect of moral
truths with the progressive aspect of intellectual
TRUTHS the difference is indeed startling In refer
ence to our moral conduct there is not a sinola
prlnclple now known to the most cultivated Euro
peans which was not likewise known to the an
GENTS In reference to the conduct of our intel
lect, the moderns have not only made the most
important addition to every department of know
ledge that the ancients ever attempted to study.
ouC besides this they have upset and revoIutionzed
the old method of inquiry; and they have created
sciences, the faintest idea of which never entered
the mind OF the boldest thinker antiquity produc
ed-Henry Thomas Buckle, in Introduction to
History of Civilization in England"

low last year and from 1870 to 20%o

this tale of increasing unemployment.
Even building trades employment IS
failing to show the usual seasonal

Detroit reports industrial employ

U. S. Steel untitled orders fell off

Wall Street Journal says that on the
basis of capacity untitled tonnage is
actually smaller than at any time
since the organization of the big cor
poration.
Reports from the federal districts
indicates that May sales Of depart
ment and other retail stores were
smaller than last year in all sections
of the country except the Dallas anc
San Francisco districts. The decline
for the country as a whole compared
with May, 1926, was 3 per cent.
Such facts suggest the approach OF

Railroads Speed Up Profit
Schedule For 1927

The ability of the railroads to get
away with big profits, in spite of
wage increases and such adverse cir
cumstances as the Mississippi flood
and the coal strike, is revealed in re-
ports for the first four months of
1927. According to the bureau of
railway economies the net income of
Glass railroads for that period am
ounted to $299,964,211 compared with
$299,850,597 in 1926.
The railroads are thus keeping
right abreast of last year which
brought them the largest profits in
history with a return of more than
$3.50 on their huge valuation. So
far this year their profits are run
ming at the rate of $3.50 on a valua-
ton of $21,O5O,OOO,OOO.
The gross receipts of the railroads
from January to April amounted to
81, 1885, ,746,338, gain of O.696 over
1926. Operating expenses at 81, ,529,-
253,575 represented an increase of
O.O4%o. In spite of wage increases
the ratio of expenses to revenue de-
clined.
Railroads in the eastern district
made the best showing with profits
running at the annual rate of 5.71%6
on their valuation. Their net income
of $161, ,473,60 compared with $685.

LINDY'S "BOLSHEvIK'' FATHER

Congressman Charles A. Lndbergh, father of
the now famous flying captain, served his Mime
sofa district in congress for period of ten years
He a member of the Nonpartistan league
group, a pacifist, and opponent of the money
trust and an admirer of Robert NJ LaFollette (and
a pioneer member of the Farmer-Labor party of
MinnesOta). He was the author of two books that
have been widely read, "Why Is Your Country at
War;" and "The Economic Pinch" He was Bit
terly attacked during the war as a "pro- German" /"
These facts are brought vvidly to mind at
this time when his old home town. Little Falls,
which was unkind to the late congressman, is
widely celebrating the achievements of his cour-
ageous son, says the Williams County Farmers
Press, last week though the parenthetical nterpo-
latiOn is ours A letter written to the st. Paul
Daily News and appearing in a recent issue makes
interesting reading in this connection:
Since Lindbergh's home town, Little
Falls, is busy telling the world "I remem-
Der when-and and So" / wonder if thew
can remember when farmer couldn't drive
peaceably through Little Falls with the
banner "Lindbergh for Governor" on his
car without having it torn off? In my
opinion that was mighty narrow-minded
way OF fighting a cause. / am glad the
Lindberghs have at last proved to the world
that they are not a bunch of radicals, pro-
Germans and everything else that a sena-
tor or congressman is classed when he looks
out for the welfare of the farmer 1t was
rather unfortunate for the Nonpartisan
league that it was started in wartime and
also when the banks began going bankrupt.
suppose if we had war with China anyone
believing in the organization of the farm
ers would be classed as pro-China And
by the way, who is to blame now for the
many banks going bankrupt? Before they
blamed the NOnpartisan league. Also where
are those white-cOllared business men who
came out from the city kindly warning
the farmer not to invest SIG in the league?
AS If this would be the first time the farm
er got strung. They don't show up now
and advise the farmer where to deposit his
money for safekeeping and the Lord knows
farmers are losing plenty When the farm
er starves enough he will realize it is time
to organize and set his own price on his
products. Why, even the bootleggers are
organized! 1t must be o. k after all Since
the flood, sugar has gone up so cents and
eggs which the farmer has to sell came
down from 25 cents to 16 cents There is
only one thing to be regretted and that is
when the farmer fights for his rights again
he won't have the energetic and ambitious
A. c. Townley fighting for him.
