We Can Trust Him

Regarding tho four billion dollar
relief bill which Is agitating congress
at this time, 1t Is amusing to see the
various excuses against allowing
President Roosevelt the sole power to
handle the money.
Congressman and senator's see In It
. magnificent opportunity to spend
money IN their districts, squandering
It where II will mean the most votes,
putting their influential political
friends and their relatives on the pay
roll aud otherwise building up their
political power and prestige-at the
expense Of tho taxpayers.
Knowing this pork barrel inclina-
ton which prevails among the major
ity Of our members Of congress, Presi-
dent Roosevelt very wisely seeks the
handling Of that huge fund himself.
willing to take both the glory and the
grief Of It's administration.
The people Of the United States
trust him. That Is more than they
can do with some Of the natural born
grafters who find their way to con-
gress. It would be nothing less than
tragic were the members Of congress
placed n charge Of four billion dol
lars for relief funds. The handful OF
them who have gangster tendencies
are doing their best now to block the
passage Of the bill.
The latest move Is to tack onto
It the soldiers bonus bill. This bill
should have enough merit In itself t.
stand alone. There Is no reason that
It should b used 70 make the passage
Of the relief bill more difficult. Il

PrOuapanda BrOadside

Rarely in recent times has such q
flood Of propaganda been loosed up
on American newspapers as that d.
rected by the utility holding COM
panies against the congressional pro-
posal to regulate these gigantic set
ups.
Naturally. these broadsides tell of
the benefits which holding companies
have brought to the nation, minimize
the disadvantages which they have
entailed.
There Is no question that there
have been benefits. Through holding
companies the efficiency Of public
utility operations has been improved
and service has been extended to
communities where It might not
otherwise have been available.
Neither u there any doubt that the
holding companies have lent them
selves to great abuses. The public
recalls only too well the manner in
which 1t bought pieces Of paper, en-
dorsed by great names. in the mis-
taken belief that they were investing
in sound securities.
It Is q question whether the good
overshadows the bad, for these gigan-
tic corporations. financed by hundreds
Of thousands Of good Americans, be-
came the playthings Of men whose
power to manipulate them resulted In
the accumulation Of great fortunes.
There Is no question that the legis,
lation now directed at the holding
companies results from the popular
prejudice which they built up against
thensalves by their unbridled actions.
The men at the top, in many in
stances, deserve no consideration.
On the other hand, excuses on the
part Of holding company manage.
ments, which resulted in injury to
stockholders, should not be matched
by excuses In governmental regula-
ton which would work still further
injury upon these same individuals.
In the effort to prevent future In
Justices congress should be careful
not to work further harm upon an
long-suffering class Of people.

The president dictated the District
Of Columbia's liquor laws and his face
was set grimly against anything re.
sembling the old-fashioned saloon.
He even insisted that drinks must

today every beer spigot In town Is
surrounded by . wooden edifice which
looks like IN diversified coffin and the

Then he goes on to say:
"Those Of Us who represent

is that they are both wrong; that

tells US that this international

Ten Men in Washington

One OF the aims OF the Agricultural
administration is to work out . per-
manent farm storage and crop insur-
ar,ce plan. It Is q laudable effort and
one likely to be Of more benefit than
many Of the suggestions for quick and
easy prosperity which recently have
doomed In our land.
During the last two years Of low
prices and poor crops the agricultural
adjustment contracts have acted as q
sort of crop insurance. Indeed, that
vas their chief value In North Da-
kota last year for many farmers re-
ceived little or nothing except from
these sources.
But as prices rise toward parity
these adjustment payments win be.
come smaller and smaller and, indeed,
may soon be expected to stop alto
sether. How to devise and operate
a crop insurance system which will
work in such circumstances Is . real
problem but one whose solution would
add greatly TO the stability Of agrt-
culture and remove one Of the be.
setting fears OF the American farmer.
It is q peculiarly pressing matter for
us, living in a semi-arid country.
The farm storage problem Is equally
difficult. This and other states have
tried it. Whether failure was due to
lack Of production or to other causes
is uncertain, but the fact remains
that it did fail under state super.
vision. Great hopes were held for It
but few OF them were realized.
Representing the northwest In the
discussions at Washington Is . COM
n.ittee Of 10 men, selected from the
membership of the Farmers Union.
Viewed from one angle they might be
termed lobby. but from the practical
standpoint their purpose Is to give
advice and information to public Of
ficials struggling with these Issues. On
this basis they are private citizens
rendering . public service.
Their immediate detectives arc to
aid In determining wheat and corn
programs for 1886 and the years to
follow and to add rye, barley and flax
to the agricultural commodities which
will be given governmental assistance.
Not q small program by any means.
Announcement by the Farmers
Union says the expenses OF this COM
mittee arc being betrayed by MEM
bers Of the organizations and by the
contributions Of businessmen In Is
northwest towns. some Of them Is
small as 81 each.
The investment would seem to be .
good one, particularly for our North
Dakota merchants, for they live Off
the produce OF the farm Just as surely
as does the farmer himself and any.
thing which will add to the farm in
come will mean greater prosperity for
him.

inhabit only the very best places,
where tho drinks are very expensive
and IN olive Is never used more than

But Congressman Everett Drksen Of
Illinois has become local hero all Of

would abolish tho 'hiden bar" and
enable anybody to see that his drink
came out Of an honest bottle and his
olive out Of an honest jar.
