Public Land Office Is a
Very Busy Institution
Is Nations Largest Real Estate
Sales Agency-Perfnr2cs Vari-
Gus Functions

A department of the government
which really does land office bus
mess" in every sense of the word
is the General Land Office of the
United States which, it is stated,
embraces the worlds largest organ
ization engaged in the surveying of
real estate. In writing of the pub.
lie land office and the duties of
those in the department, G. G.
Moore, Commissioner of the Land
Office, says in the current issue
Of the National Republic:
1.-THE first duty of the General
Land Office is to survey the public
lands The official surveys of the
public lands of the United States
are controlling. After the public
lands have been surveyed, the sur
veys accepted, and the approved
plans officially filed, the lands may
be opened to disposal under any
of the public land laws applicable
thereto.
1.-THE primary conception of Con-
gress in dealing with the public
lands was the realization of the
largest possible cash return for
their sale to meet the immediate
necessities of national enterprise.
The General Land Office was or
ganized in accordance with this
conception; practically a real estate
agency acting for the United States
in the sale of the public domain.
I'm compliance with this policy
contracts were let for the survey
of the public lands at established
rates per mile. The fair value of
public lands was considered to be
$125 to $1.75 per acre, and the de-
putty surveyors we're allowed rang
ing from $500 per mile for section
lines in prairie country to $500
per mile as maximum for stand
ard, base and meander lines in
rough, mountainous heavily tim
bered country.
1.-The early surveyor was beset
with many difficulties that ordinar-
lily are considered foreign to engi-
neering and surveying problems.
The country to be surveyed may
have been infested with hostile saw

the South Dakota elevator group,
presided, and p. A. Lee, Grand
Forks, and F. H. Solan, Sioux Falls,
who represent the northwest ele-
vator men on the committee of 16,
reported on the program.
There were 40 men at the meet
ing, including A. j. Olson, presi-
dent of the Minnesota Farm Blu
reau Federation, it is understood.
No formal resolutions were adopt
ed. but general agreement reached
as to how their representatives on
the committee of 16 should pro-
coed.
Broadly speaking, the attitude of
the elevator leaders was: Unless
fundamental changes are made in
the setup, we cannot recommend to
our member elevators that they
participate in the corporation
Each elevator group acts for itself,
and some will join regardless OF
recommendations Of their leaders
but their opposition is expected to
influence many.
First, their representatives are
instructed to ask that farmers be
properly represented" The repre-
sentation on the board of directors
should be in proportion to the
amount of grain handled, it is pro-
posed The elevator men claim
membership Of 100000, and say 9TH
er grain co-operatives have only
70, 900 members. On that basis, they
would have II out of 16 members
on the board
Then, according to the elevator
men, individual organizations
should relinquish their rights and
positions, merging in the big cor
poration for all purposes. They
contend duplication of effort can
be eliminated only by this method.
This gets at the heart of the en-
tire plan.
There are some $500 farmer
owned elevators in the four states.
with about $3.50 members, accord
ing to A. F. Nelson, secretary of
the Minnesota Farmer Elevator As
ISOLATION, who attended the meet
ing. He said the men were unani-
nous, but the position announced
represents the general view of the
men attending the session.
1.-THE attitude was that the elevat
or groups are willing to cooperate
with the farm board, but they feel
that no immediate service to them
will result unless changes like those
proposed are made" Mr. Nelson
said today. These suggestions are
not to be regarded as ultimatums,
in which we say we will have moth
ing to do with the corporation un-
less they are carried out, but they
represent the view of our men and
are to be presented when the COM
mittee of 16 meets"

ORGANIZED LABOR

Of all the commercial, fraternal
and social organizations in existence,
none stands so close and firm to the
true fundamentals of human needs the
whole world over as do the principles
of organized labor, and yet labor in
fgurative sense is continually get
ting poke in the eye" from one or
another organization in their struggle
for supremacy, which in turn concen-
trates this power into few individ-
uals who indirectly and automatically
rob every citizen of his birthright and
freedom.
More and more each year this class
of debating giants gains in number
with ever-increasing power, and with
very few exceptions their influence
is becoming more arbitrary, and in
their activities they are becoming
more arbitrary, and in their activities
they are becoming totally blind to the
essential needs of humanity. With
this never-ending process, who has
the vision to preduict the outcome
You can be. sure of one thing, how
ever-that no matter what the future
holds in store for US, organized labor
will be in the front ranks doing the
work and advancing some remedy for
the new order.
Nothing is more to blame in the
industrial field for most of our social
ills than labor itself in it's neglect to
stand by its class, by making and
supporting livable demands that bene-
fit everybody, for all other classes Of
industry organize to protect them
selves, and labor should be educated
by advanced ideas and more publicity
to do the same.
The great majority affiliated with
labor organizations will conduct both
their home and business affairs with
some kind of budget system, and
yet will neglect to place their organ
ization on the list with a reasonable
amount of their time and efforts to
conduct its business properly, and
reap better rewards simply by attend

In Freedom S Name

pressed sympathy with striking rail
way shopmen.
"TO An Anxious Friend"
"You tell me that law is above

folly will dies of it's own poison and

of mans kinship with God.

the reverse is true also.
"Only when free utterance is sup
pressed is it needed, and when it is

Peace is good. But if you are inter-
ested in peace through force and

A public exhibition of the work will
be shown at the station at Cold Spring

The work Of the department. 1t Is
pointed out In the announcement of
the anniversary, has been devoted
largely to solving the riddle Of evolu-
ton with its two paradoxical tendencies
that of like to beget like and that Of
life to appear In ever new forms IN
lines-the difference due TO heredity
through the chromosomes, differences
due to environment, to age and to
glandular structure.
Recent experiments are cited to
demonstrate all Of these changes. Thus
environment Is illustrated by producing
mice twice as large as normal the sec
