7 may come under the claSSlIlcaLloIl
of believe 1t or Not, but the peg
fectly serious fact Is that Gov. Al
i /falfa Bill Murray of Oklahoma is
expected by Democratic leaders and
other competent Judges to have an i'm
portant part in the Democratic presi-
Dental race next year. Gov. Murray
has had a conspicuous part but not an
important one, in past Democratic con-
ventions as far back as the one that
nominated Bryan in 1908.
The more important role that Muir
ray is expected to play next year arises
from the existence of the business de-
preston, from the proposals that Gov,
Murray has made and in some cases
carried out for curing 1t, and from
Murray's personality. which lends itself
to suggesting the mantleS of both Will

convention with a surprisingly large
number of delegates. that his personal

the times, and that he will be one OF

Most surprising Of all is the number
of persons ordinarily regarded as con-
servative who believe in much that Muir
ray is doing and will be glad to see him

out the country. The thing that Muir
raw is most identified with is limitation
and proration of the oil industry by
State law and thoroughgoing enforce
ment of that law to the extent of using
State troops, when and if necessary.
The fundamental and rather surprising
fact is that many conservative heads OF
other industries, now suffering acute
competition, are eager to be treated in
the same way that Gov. Murray has
treated oil. Much OF the demand 10

!. $. MANUFACTURERS ADVISED INSIST CASH
 IN RUSSIAN TRADING

Tn dealings between the Soviet government and private foreign firms, certain definite advantages accrue to the former. Russia well understands how to take advan- tage of an economic depression which is local or confined to a definite area, by playing a firm in one country against those in another in order to beat down prices and obtain larger credit for future orders, according to a report in the U. s. Daily.
 Should one country forbid it's nationals to accept orders from Russia, these orders would be given immediately to firms in an other country. The delay in denying the acceptance of Rus sian orders is one of economic necessity and not economic ad- vantage. Heretofore competition has been between firms in one country and firms in another, but now it is competition between

 Russia has made business a part of her government, in fact it is one and the same, therefore, when American manufacturers accept orders for goods to be shipped to Russia, they are deal- ing directly with the Soviet gov- ernment, even though the orders are received from firms ln this country.
 Firms however, cannot ignore the risk involved in accepting these orders, as the Soviets are practically adept, after making certain favorable concessions in giving an order, in attempting to compensate themselves by impos- ing adverse demands when the order is being executed by the firm.
 Tn addition to demands for larger rebates, Russia also at- tempts to obtain small deliveries There is also tardiness in deliv- ering bills of exchange, where goods are shipped and inspected in Russia before they are accept ed

 The various branches establish ed turnout the world by the Sov- jet government fosters the sale of Russian goods and when this can not be done, they attempt to ex- change their goods for merchan- disc or machinery to be manufac- tured for her. If this procedure fails, then the manufacturer is requested to accept commercial paper for goods delivered. As there is no assurance that these bills will ever be met at maturity, they are, however, disposed of to various banks with resource to the manufacturer.
 Tn other words the American manufacturer takes the commer- cial paper and guarantees pay ment by his firm, in order to dis pose of it on the market, thus backing Russian business with American capital. The firm is wise indeed who says cash with orders, no credit and no goods in exchange.

The I. G.. G.. Retreats

The interstate commerce commission went up the

This is not only our conclusion from the commits

railroad affairs is unsurpassed.
When the I. C. c. recently denied the railroads
plea for is per cent general freight rate increase it
was praised widely. 1t then specified certain in
creases on specified commodities, and suggested that
the proceeds be pooled for the benefit of the weaker
lines.
The railroads made counter proposal that the
fund be administered by Delaware corporation out
side / c. G. jurisdiction and the money be loaned to
poorer roads.
Now a majority of the commission has decided
neither to approve dsapprove the railroads plan
but to permit the rate increases estimated at $685.,
100000.
The l. C. G. is the victim of dangerous propa-
ganda now and the majority decision probably will be
welcomed by those who would detract from this body
which is outstanding in honesty and ability among
government regulatory agencies.

and Commissioners McManamy, Porter and Ma

States department of labor
The cotton harvester is being sent to several Sec
tons for final tests. BY its use one man can strip
"A of cotton in tweve-hour day. an equivalent
to what two pickers now gather in eight to fifteen
days.
For every 100 men, women, and children who now
make their living at cotton picking, 1873 must find
jobs elsewhere when the machine is introduced.
This Frankenstein like other labor isplacing
machines that have revolutionized modern industry
will be both a curse and blessing Millions will be
thrown out of jobs. The colored migration to the
north, now 100000 strong, will increase. City
workers will feel new pressure from the black and
white workers reared with low wages and frugal
habits.
On the other hand the eleven cotton states may
be able better to compete with China, Russia Egypt
and India, Just as our larger wheat men have been
able t. compete through production. The new
machine may revoutionize the south more thoroughly
than did the cotton GIN

Editor Times-Called by Governor
La Toilette, the politicians, big and
small. met in Madison at the special
session of the legislature, to fool the
unemployed, by dropping them
few measly sops that they call re-
lief.
Governor Bob, clever politician
that he is, proposed more than the
interim committee which has been
holding public hearings throughout
the state for the last few months.
What are the proposals of La
Toilette? According to the papers,
he proposed to spend $17,000,000 ito
help the unemployed" How is this
help to be given?
Six million dollars will help re-
duce property taxes throughout the
state. In other words, this help will
go to the property owners, who
ought to be taxed even higher to
feed the unemployed. This move,
fully approved by the Socialists" is
to hold the small capitalists, land
lords, etc., on whom both the pro-
gressives and Socialists, are trying
to base themselves.
The rest Of the appropriations
will be to finance public works,
which is the forced labor scheme of
Hoover, Wall, Hoan e. Co. Six mil
lions will be divided among the
cities and counties to give work"
to the nearly 300, 900 unemployed for
a little relief; 100000 for emer-
gency fund where it is needed
mostly" (?), and 100000 to be
used in forestry work in northern
Wisconsin, where, besides the con-
victs of Waupun, unemployed young
men are to be given work.
This is the great relief program
of La Toilette. Will it work?
The legislature has been organ
lied in such a way the majority in
the senate belong to the Hoover
Republicans, who will reject most
of these sham recommendations.
This will save La Follette's face.
They also are talking about "com-
pulsory unemployment insurance"
which, even if it passed, will go into
effect July 1, 1888.
In the meantime, the unemployed
can wait. Even the Groves bill will
not become effective if it is passed,
until private industries have estab-
lished satisfactory voluntary sys-

Economy All Talk

TINE only way we could maintain
L the standard of living under
such circumstances is by reducing
the cost of everything, government
included, and it is time that we
gave that idea a passing thought.
There has been a great deal of
talk about economy not only at
Washington, but in the various
state capitals and city halls, but very
little has been done.
Though business has fallen off at
least 20 per cent, and taxable in
comes by 25, the good old budget
keeps right on.
Wages have been cut in thou
sands of plants and millions of men
and women have been thrown out
OF work. There is hardly a great
private enterprise in the entire
country but has found it necessary
to make drastic retrenchment.
When you get into public affairs,
however, you find a different phil

Further Cuts Likely

IF the general cost level of COM
4 modities should continue to de-
cline on worldwide basis, it fol-
lows, as matter of course, that we
must fall in line, or lose still more
foreign trade.
Such a prospect is not inviting,
but neither was the war, nor the de-
preston, into both of which we
were drawn against our will.
1t is quite possible that we are
in for a, season of severe COMPETE
ton and that We shall be compelled
to make certain sacrifices to hold
the position we occupy
1t is possible we shall have to cut
prices and wages even to a greater
extent than we have, not only to
make work for our people, but to
keep the business we already have.
