Deceutralize Industry

Experts who are considering the
subject say that the restoration of de-
centralized industry offers the best
solution for the problems that con-
front the nations today. They assert
that the influences which caused the
crowding of industrial plants into
relatively small areas was not COM
munity Of interest or other resistless
economic trend. 1t was rather SO ar
bitrary a business as the making of
freight rates and the marking of rate
zones.
The hard experiences of times like
the present are prompting serious In

Townships Must Spread,
Says Federal Observer

Rural communities. that is. areas
with sufficient territory and popula-
ton to give them considerable unity in
their affairs, are being shaped by new
forces. Communication and transpor-
tatlon have advanced to point where
quick contacts over longer distances
feature daily transactions. Social
equipment. formerly regarded as be-
yond the attainment of most of the
localities, is now widely desired.
The township of SO square miles,
organized in many agrarian regions

narily suffice in the Central West, DR..
{. J. Galpin of the United States De-
partment of Agriculture. holds. A sur
vey has shown the number Of families
resident therein to vary between 100
and 200. They and their property
holdings once were adequate to Gre
ate village trading center and fash
ion other requisites of solidarity. Doc
tor Galpin is emphatic in asserting
that the old conception of a COMMUNE
ty, from the STANDPOINT OF size, is 0D-
solete. His conclusion is that "a COM
munity of at least 1000 rural families
is needed in order to maintain and
support schools, libraries, hospitals,
parks. Fairgrounds. churches, fire
companies and the like. The total
population OF this community should
he at least 5000 persons and the min
imum area about 100 square miles,
the outer boundary of the community
being five to eight miles distant by
highway from the center of the town.
On some such pattern, Doctor Galpin
indicates, will the advancing country
localities of tomorrow be built. Lay
observation of rural trends tends to
support the view expressed by the
federal observer.

"Fixing Up" School Lot

The schoolhouse lot in the country,

NEWS REVIEW OF
CURRENT EVENTS
What the Great Democratic
Landslide Means and
What Caused 1t.
BY EDWARD W. PIckARD

ID USINESS depression, hard times,
- unemployment, dissatisfaction of
the farmers with farm relief, local
political conditions, and last, but not
least, the wet and dry issue, all con-
tributed to the Democratic landslide
on election day. The Democrats de-
clared the people Of the nation had
thus registered their emphatic disap-
proval of the administration of Presi-
dent Hoover. This the Republicans
denied. Take your choice.
In the new congress, 1t appears,
neither party will have constitutional
majority in the senate, and the same
condition may prevail in the lower
house. The Republicans will have 4S
senators, the Democrats Al, and the
Farmer-Laborites l. If the last men
toned, Shipstead of Minnesota, votes
with the Republicans, they can organ
ize the senate. Otherwise it would
take the deciding vote Of Vice Presi-
dent Curtis.
Unless a recount gives the Eighth
" NCoNaA NAeCPsJp ~
stead of to Ball (Dem.), the member
ship of the house will stand: Repub-
licans, PIT; Democrats, 217; Farmer
Labor, /. A constitutional majority
Is 21S.
In both houses the progressive or
radical Republicans will hold the bal
ance of power in matters of legislation
and by coalition with the Democrats
can continue successfully their habit
ual course of hampering the national
policies of their party.
MINE gains of senate seats which
= the Democrats are sure Of at
this writing were made in Massachu-
sets, West Virginia, Ohio, Illinois,
Kentucky, Kansas, Oklahoma. South
Dakota and Colorado. They lost one
seat, in Iowa, where Representative
Dickinson defeated Senator Steck.
Three administration senators who
were beaten were Allen of Kansas,
Robson of Kentucky and McCulloch
of Ohio. However, two anti-adminis-
tration senators lost out-Pine Of Ok
lahoma and McMaster of South Da-
kota. Two administration senators
who were victorious in hard fights
were Metcalf of Rhode Island and
Hastings of Delaware Hastings ran
as a dry in a VIGOROUSLY wet state,
and against him was all the influence
tho Observation-Disclosures could muStar
but he decisively beat Thomas F. Bay
ard, former senator, wet and a Dem
ocrat.
There was much rejoicing among
the vets. They elected four new wet
senators: Lewis of Illinois, Buckley of
Ohio, Coolidge Of Massachusetts and
Gore Of Oklahoma, and they claim
Metcalf Of Rhode Island will vote wet.
However, three drys replace as many
vets: Dickinson of Iowa, Huey Long
Of Louisiana and White of Maine. AS
for the lower house, the vets claimed a
gain of about 70 members. OF course
the drys will continue to control both
houses by heavy majorities, but the
leaders of the vets assert the cleo
ton presages the eventual repeal of
the Eighteenth amendment.
Heavy wet majorities were shown
in each of the three states, Illinois,
Rhode Island and Massachusetts,
where there were referendum votes
on various phases of the prohibition
question.

WHILE the representatives of 80
nations were gathering at
Geneva for the conference Of the
League of Nations preparatory dis
armament commission, efforts were
being made to bring about an agree
ment between France and Italy with
out which the parley would admitted
ly be futile. American Ambassador
Hugh S. Gibson took the lead in this
attempt to get the two nations to-
gether and after conversations In
Rome and Paris he announced that
France had formally agreed to re-
sumption of its naval negotiations
with Italy. These were to be strictly
secret and held during the sessions Of
the commission. 1t was understood in
Paris the Italians had consented to
bring forward the actual figures Of
their proposed building program for
comparison of those Of France, and
that there was chance of an agree
ment based on strategic needs and
building capacity in 1886, with such
questions as parity being excluded.
Dispatches from Rome, on the other
hand. said Italy had made no fresh
offers for settlement Of the matter and
that France must take the initiative.
The Italians still insist on parity with
France, and the French still reject
that proposition.

ministration had ever gone into con-
gressional election under such adverse
conditions. The results, he added,
were convincing evidence of the
abiding faith of the thinking people
of the country in the leadership of
Herbert Hoover"
The view of Jouett Shouse, chair
man of the Democratic national exec
utive committee, was:
THE Democratic campaign was
conducted on the issue of the failure
of the administration to meet its re-
sponsibility and carry out the prom
Uses on which it obtained election two
years ago. Embraced in a subsidiary
to this main theme were such items
as the enactment of an indefensible
tariff and the breakdown of the farm
relief plan of the administration,
which had pledged itself to rehabili-
tate the agricultural industry"
