THE BUBBLE BURSTED

The Minneapolis Star, an independ-
ent daily newspaper, in a short edi-
torial entitled up to Shipstead,'
brings out a point that is worthy OF
consideration. The editorial pub
lished last week reads as follows:
Hope for federal financial aid
for the states to the west of us in
their efforts to combat the grass
hopper plague now rests with
Senator Shipstead.
1T is amusing to watch each of
the measures of Importance to the
northwest gradually drift to the
office of the senior senator from
Minnesota, the strongest and most
influential member of congress
from the northwest.
I'VE wonder how it must feel
for people and institutions OPP
posed to Senator Shipstead at the
last election on the ostensible
ground that being without party
he would have no influence in
Washington, to run to him with
their troubles after their pets in
the Minnesota delegation have ut
terly failed to accomplish any
thing for them"
Note that the Minneapolis Star lists
Senator Shipstead as the strongest
and most Influential member of con-
gress from the northwest And voters
will remember how the spokesman for
the standpatters said in each of the
senator's campaigns for election to
the Senate that not being a member
OF dominant national party he would
not get on important committees and
would not get recognition at the ma
tional capitol. A good man cannot be
held down and either of the two old
parties would be more than happy to
enroll Senator Shipstead in their
membership. The Farmer-L I
party with its excellent platform has
other big men who only need the OPP
portunity of service, but the voters
will hear the same cry against those
candidates this fall-the cry about
not being able to get important com
mittee assignments. not being able
to exercise influence if not with the
dominant party, etc. etc. Senator
Shipstead has burst that bubble quite
completely.

st. Peter Herald: These are
times when political feelings are apt
to run high. Everyone who has deep
convictions of whatever hue or stripe
should bear in mind that in a com
munity such as this personal rancor
should not be permitted to enter. All
OF us will be living together as neigh
bOrs long after this smoke of battle
has cleared away, and there should
be no unbeatable wounds left. A knife
usually cuts two ways, and every man
has right to an opinion.

Mile Laos County Times: Just how
hard up the opponents of Gov. Olson
in Minnesota are for an issue was
illustrated by their complaint that the
governor failed to accept an invitation
to the banquet staged at Washington
during the governors conference
there. If President Hoover would is
sue his invitations to the unemployed
he would have no cause for camplain-
ing of any vacancies at the festal
board.

GAMBLING IN FARM PRODUCTS
(Earmer-LahOr IAaderl

1t seems rather strange that it is
not possible for farm products to be
marketed successfully without the as
sistance of the gamblers in the grain
exchange. If gambling is essential to
the marketing of grain, why is it not
applied to the marketing of automo-
biles or wagons, or picnic hams, or
public utility charges?
1t would be interesting to read in
the market pages of the evening daily

That should worry the rank and file
of voters! AS to influence in Con-
gress. Senator Shipstead is the answer
to that Many of the others can't hold
candle stick to him and yet he Is
not a member of either dominant
party. Less politics and more action
in behalf of the masses is the crying
need of the hour.

IN <EANWHILE until this cycle of buying
wi and producing is resumed our business
men should create for themselves some organ
of national economic unity which will help them
build their prosperity on their home market.
With 120 100000 persons In America, our for
eign trade should be very small
Possibly the first thing that can be estab-
hshed is national economic board represent
ing every industry and this in turn will be
supervised by the Department of Commerce. It
should also be the duty of this department to
educate to gather and to give information as
to resources and markets, labor and prices,
materials and costs, supply and demand. In
this way it will be able to prevent overproduc-
ton, eliminate waste and present united front
in foreign trade.
People will probably not give way easily to
such control. They will feel that it will hinder
individual action. But with other nations Or
gained Tor production and trade we will have
to reconcile ourselves to this regulation of
industry or we will not be able to compete
at all.
1T IS also important for the Government to
restore the confidence of the people in its
banking system. They must knew that there
are places where they can deposit their funds
and that come what may, they will be safe
Therefore, in every city there should be several
secure repositories. The member banks of the
Federal Reserve System should be so regulated
In their Investments and procedures that they
can together insure one another against IN
solvency. And the Treasury Department can
be Of greater value if it is empowered to check
initiating speculation. precarious banking and
the export Of capital.
When we turn to agriculture we also find
chaotic conditions. The reason is that we are
producing more crops than the public, at pres
ent wages and prices, consume And
further, the farmers are unable to protect
themselves against fluctuations In foreign
trade, rising transportation costs and the
manipulation of storage and market facilities
in towns and cities
Here again the Department of Agriculture.
like the Department Of Commerce must as
sumo control. 1t must do away with the tndi-
vidual tillage Of small fields and unite many
families in the cooperative farming of vast
areas. Not an acre should be planted until

Of enabling the people to buy them The re-
suit is that the gap between purchasing power
and productive capacity began rapidly to widen
until our system broke down.
This would have been enough if the
situation had concerned only ourselves But
because we had surplus Of goods and of
capital that We didn't know what to do with,
We began to export them to every corner of
the world. We thought that with all the money
we had 1t was our duty to ease Europe Of The
cost Of her war, and we went on lending her
money until her debts were inflated
THE result was that we were caught in an
international mesh. There was hardly nation
on earth whose welfare didn't in some way
affect us. The political confusion of China
and India, the depreciation of silver through
out ASIA the agricultural revolution In Russia,
the troubles of England Germany and even of
South America, have all made the blow a
heavier one and the task of solving It a COM
pHcated one.
This analysis, which is necessarily a brief
one indicates that we must direct our efforts
to both foreign and a domestic policy First
we must do all we can to continue to main
tain peaceful relations with all countries Sec
ond, we must restore the purchasing power
OF Asia by re-eStablishing silver, and of Europe
by reducing debts and reparations
A S for our domestic policy, we must see
ing power OF our people to keep pace with the
power OF production. This iS of course a bad
time to suggest to employers that they raise
wages. They aren't getting much for their
money. People will not do anything until thew
believe that prices have reached the bottom.
When that happens they will come out of their
hiding places and again buy
But once recovery is on its Way and normal
industrial life is restored, then every employer
must realize that unless he pays his labor
generously he is destroying the goose that spends
the golden eggs. He makes it impossible for his
workers to buy goods. He must understand that
the only way to prevent depressions is to keeo
wages as high and prices as low as the costs of
capital. equipment and ability will allow. That.
in other words, the benefit of the falling cost
of production must be passed on TO aas con-
sumner.

this department has been consulted on the
condition and trend of the market for the crop
TO be Sown. Once agriculture is made Scien-
tifc industry and more acreage is planted
than there is demand for, we will find that
a small number of acres and men will be
enough to feed America
i'RUT this, you will think, will make for ad-
- ditional unemployment. If there Is
centralized control Of industry, it can be pre-
vented.
There is, of course, absolute cure for this
disease Of unemployment. But with the system
l have outlined, with the worker sharing in
the proceeds of invention by enjoying shorter
day and with unemployment insurance avail
able only to those who are willing to accept
work through the post Office bureaus, we will
be able to reduce the disease
Municipal government is very much IN need
OF reform If we are to be q healthy nation
We take corruption and dishonesty for granted
We permit men Of such inferior caliber to
take of1ce that persons Of intelligence and
character turn away from municipal politics
The first thing that we should do Is to make
eoucatlon a qualification for Office. Our uni
versities should include rigorous course in
government administration, and at washington
there should be United States civil academy
to train men and women for municipal and
the Federal Government Salaries should be
high, so that men of ability will not be drawn
away from administrative work by the lure
OF better rewards in industry In this way
politics VIII graduate from racket to an hon.
ored profession.
I think it Is also obvious that before WE
can do away with corruption and clear ss
the crime situation we will have to repeal pro-
hibition. We will likewise have to revise our
entire legal procedure so that the technicalites
which are used as protection by the criminals
are reduced. Punishment should be made to
mt the criminal rather than the crime so that
we can, with the help Of our scientific knowl-
edge, effect cure for him. We should remove
the police force from municipal control and
place 1t under the direction and responsibility
OF the Governor. And the staff, If it is to
accomplish any work, should be a permanent
one and In no way dependent upon political
parties.
Just as we are loath to give up an anti
quated legal system so we are loath to discard
our old educational curriculum MANY of the
things we are teaching were taught hundreds
Of years ago. The result is that our children
are not equipped to face life today. This cur
riculum will have to be revised if we hone tn
make ourselves more capable and intelligent
people. Our children should be taught more
about their own bodies They should know
everything there Is to know about health and
dietet1cS, and the knowledge should not he

cooking, and 1t In up to our schools to make
her feel that 1t Is as noble an art as that of

High Water in
River Reduces
Power Output
EXCESS CURRENT DEVELOPED AT
PRIEST RAPIDS IN MAY IS
LESS THAN IN APRIL

High water in the Columbia river
during the month of May reduced the
efficiency of the power plant at Priest
Rapids, the amount of current gen.
Grated dropping to $40 killoWats at the
peak of the high water, the least am
cunt generated since the plant got
under full Roadway during March.
Receiver Marvin Chase has billed the
Pacific Power & Light Company for
$80582 for the month of May which
covers the following three items: $78707
for excess current delivered direct to
the power company's lines, $3.75 for
power delivered to the Beverly line and
$500 for labor
This, Thursday, morning June 2, the
power plant was generating 900 XIV.
and the pumping plant at Coyote was
pulling Sis XIV.
Now that the river is falling the load
at the power plant is being built back
up. Every drop of foot in the level
of the river means an increase of cur
rent developed at the power plant Of
approximately 100 XIV.
After the irrigation district takes
over the project and makes the nee
essary improvements at the power plant
that it has in contemplation, the
amount of power that can be gener-
ated will be tripled and high water
in the river will not so materially at
feet the output.
