Saskatchewan Decides

The power commission of the province of Sas-
katchewan, Canada named by the Government to
recommend policies for power development has re-
ported in favor of public ownership and distribution Of
electricity throughout the province
The report recommends immediate purchase of
three plants the first step in the development OF
provincial system It suggests capital investment of
SIS 900 by the government Power would be sold in
bulk to the municipalities from the central plants plus
a small margin for contingencies
The propagandists of the power companies in the
United States assiduously have spread the claim that
public operation always is costlier and less efficient
than private Apparently investigation by the Cana
dian commission has convinced it that the contrary
is true.

in the right way and the people
will own it.
This action, following closely
upon the agreement reached be-
tween the Illinois and Indiana
commission to build State-owned
bridges at Mt. Carmel and Vim
cennes, reflects a spirit of CO.
operation between the govern
ments of three States which
augurs well for the future Of the
Tri-State territory.
Each of these developments
means much to the entire Tri-
State section, composed of south
western Indiana, southeastern
Illinois and western Kentucky.
The interests of this rich territory
have been brought before these
three State governments.

Power of New Ideas

The present campaign promises
to be unique in one respect. BUSH
ness not~only has failed to go bad,
but promises to be as good, or bet
ter than ever. One writer suggests
that this marks the disappearance
of an old superstition, but that is
not quite true. The idea Of poor
business during a national election
was based on something more sub
stantial than mere belief. AS a
matter Of record, business used to
be poor, one reason being that the
American people were inclined to
quit business for the sake of politics.
In the old days it was not uncom-
mon for storekeepers and tradesmen
to shut up shop when candidates
came to town. More important than
that, it was not uncommon for
bankers and business men to regard
a change Of administration as prom
ising disaster. Our grandfathers
took their politics much more seri-
ously than we do. They had been
trained to the notion that every
thing hinged on politics.

Business Stands Alone

Business, as we call it, has liber-
ated itself from the shackles of par
tisanship. Men think of industry
and enterprise not only as distinct
from politics, but as capable of
functioning no matter what party is
in power. That is nothing less than
a triumph for common sense.
The idea Of connecting politics
with business to such an extent that
people feared the result of an cleo
ton and looked upon a change as
promising hard times was tragic in
its effect. 1t led to wholesale intim-
idation not only Of workmen, but of
small merchants and manufacturers.

YVES, you can" answers DR..
Il James K. Pollock, University
of Michigan, who just has returned
from years study in England.
Patronage does not keep alive the
British parties. But it is not the
two party system that is the fault
in the United States.
"The similarity of our two parties
and the lack of platform issues
merely reflects the RECOMMENDATION
and indifference of the American
people"
1T cannot agree that there is no
real difference in the two party
platforms this year, because the
Democrats pledge stricter enforce
ment of the antitrust laws" says
Professor E. w. Crecraft, University
of Akron.

HOLD MEETING
Association Preparing
For Busy Market

A vigorous campaign to line W all
potato in the Valley who ere
not members of the Rio Grande Val
ley Potato Growers Association Will
be launched by that organization M
m~ediately, was the decision of the
board of directors at their regular
meeting Saturday afternoon.
Paul Dye, secretary OF n asso-
citation, was instructed by the direc-
tors to start work February /, on a
check-up OF all potato acreage In the
Valley, and also TO make arrange
ments with those shippers who will
be licensed to handle the production
Of the association members. Under
a resolution passed at the annual
meeting Of the association, dealers
.y.Ii hereafter handle the potatoe
of members upon a basis of 3 cents
for loading. ) per cent commission
and outside brokerage.
The principal matter taken up by
the directors was the car minimum of
$4,000 pounds established by the or
der Of the Interstate Commerce COM
mission, which will go into effect
April 8. The growers pointed out
that unless the minimum vas re-
duced to $4,000 pounds, the potato
industry in the Valley would sustain
serious losses. Few loadings Of po-
tatoes from the Valley exceed $1,000
pounds. and to load $4,000 pounds
would be impracticable-
II. Caldwell. a member of the
Valley Vegetable Growers Exchange,
was called into conference with the
directors Of the Potato Growers As
ISOLATION and gave the assurance the
Valley organization would extend
full cooperation in the fight TO Sc
cure a lower minimum. J. F. Blan-
ton was appointed BY both organiza-
tions to prepare a telegram setting
forth all details OF the case and TO
forward il to the Interstate Com
MERGE Commission Monday night.
The TELEGRAM will bc signed by all
interested organizations and in
d~iyiduals.
