The Nicaragua Canal

The proposal for the United States to dig a sec
ond canal connecting the Atlantic and Pacific oceans
is again before Congress. 1t is an interesting idea,
and to which is worth giving careful consideration.
For many years the United States has had a con-
cession from Nicaragua for a canal across that coun-
try. Engineers have reported on it favorably. The
Navy and the Army have made extensive surveys and
are agreed upon its military value. The only question
now is whether we need a second canal in addition to
the one at Panama, and whether it would be worth
what it cost.
The Navy people would like to have it. Our
present naval set-up is one big fleet, based on San
Diego, California, to protect both our coasts. If we
did not have the Panama Canal, making it easy to
move ships quickly from one coast to the other, we
would have to maintain two fleets, one in the At
lantic and one in the Pacific.
Lately there has been a good deal of alarm ex-
pressed about the danger of the Panama Canal being
blocked by a landslide or an earthquake, and the sug-
gestion has been put forth that it would be too easy
in case of war, for enemy aircraft to blow up the
canal locks.
There is more to the Nicaragua canal plan, how
ever, than merely providing a "second-string" in case
of war. 1t would cut more than 1000 miles off the
navigating distance between the Atlantic and Paci-
fc coasts. and so would shorten the voyage for freight
and passengers by two days or more, at corresponding
reductions in cost. 1t is also much nearer to United
States territory, at each end, and so easier to defend
against foreign attack.
1t would take about 500. 900 and ten years time
to dig the Nicaragua Canal. Ten years is certainly not
too far to look ahead. As money goes in these days
$40, 900, 900 a year does not seem like too much to
spend on a project as useful as the Nicaragua Canal

ONLY ONE BIG CONTEST

Last summer there was a water
shortage in a town where was wis.,
iting. | happened to be chatting with
my host. while he was shaving, and
| noticed how careful he was TO use
very little water.
1T seems sort OF silly for you to
be so conscientious" | remarked.
They don't make any difference in
the final result" he said. "but they
make a lot of difference to me-"
He said that when he graduated
from college, a quarter of a century
ago. there was a great deal of pop
ular emphasis upon so-called so
cial service" Science had begun to
introduce wonderful new inventions
for increasing human happiness.
Men were stirred by the hope of a
quick millennium. Young people
graduated with the notion that a
faw years of earnest effort would
transform the world.
My friend was one OF the most
eager of the reformers. He organ
lied and voted, and agitated, and
did all the things that he should.
But nothing happened. The good
causes for which he cast his vote
were defeated. Human nature
showed a discouraging unwilling
ness to change. al went through a
period of deep disillusionment." he
said. II thought to myself, what's
the use of doing anything when
ones single effort seems so futile ?
One day while | was in this mood l
discovered these words of Socra-
ties:
Il. therefore consider how
may exhibit my soul before the
judge in a healthy condition. Where
as. di~sregarding the honors that
most men value. and looking to the
truth. l shall endeavor in reality to
live as virtuously as | cam; and
when | die. to die so. And | invite
all other men. to the utmost of my
power; to this contest. which |
affirm. surpasses all contests here.
THAT flashed acros my mind like
bolt of lightning" my friend con-
tinued. 1T clarified everything.

The Farmer Has Opposition

The United States senate last week passed a
$50. 900. 900 bill providing for loans to farmers to
buy seed and finance production.
Strange as it seems the bill did not pass the up
per house without an oratorical splurge OF opposition
possibly poured forth for formality's sake-but
nevertheless prevalent.
Senator Carter Glass. democrat from Virginia.
led the opposition. With exacting care and research
Glass dug back to 1887 for information to be used in
voicing his objections to aid the drouth-stricken and
needy with small loans. enabling them to plant spring
crops.
The old man from Virginia found out that Atty
years ago Grover Cleveland vetoed a $1,000 seed
loan bill because he found no constitutional author
iy for such an appropriation" He used that as an
argument.
The senator from the south is just another who
has forgotten to live in a modern era.
Unfortunate it is that he has not lived in north
eastern Montana the past seven years. Undoubtedly
his vociferous denunciations would not have been so
pronounced had he been forced to rub shoulders with
many in this section. Maybe a taste of some of the
hardships would change others like the senator from
Virginia when it comes to helping the little fellow.
A $50, 1000 900 loan for the aid of farmers isn't
going to break or drain the treasury, and doubtless
Glass has put his erstwhile stamp of approval on APP
preparations much bigger than what has been asked
for seed loans and undoubtedly many have proved to
be bad investments.
The plight Of the farmer must mean nothing
to Carter Glass. BY his actions he has proved that
he has little regard for what happens to people In
drouth stricken areas.
Despite his opposition the senate quickly passed
the measure and it has been sent to Roosevelt for
his signature.
The Virginia senator should have saved his ag-
ing lungs for measures needing oratorical opposition.

Something Overlooked

Some wise solon in Montana's legislature has
proposed to raise SIS. 900 annually for the state by a
tax on Christmas trees.
That gentleman overlooked the fact that a few
thousand dollars more might be raised by putting a
tax on the baby for his rattle or bottle nipple, a tax
on juniors sled or skates, or little sisters doll.
Still more money might be raised by putting a
tax on prescriptions for victims of influenza, cancer,
tuberculosis, diabetes and heart failure.
And then he evidently forgot to propose a tax on
every drink OF water and every breath of fresh air.
And lastly, a huge fund could be raised by levy
ing a per capita tax on damphooi voters who elect
such tax crazy nonentities to our law-making bodies.

debt to Labor for r%e-electing him.
That brought forth a yelled but I'M

dent. Mr.. Roosevelt's friends point
out that, while undoubtedly the
mass of industrial workers voted for
him, there Is no evidence that Mr..
Lewis's Committee for Industrial
Organization did any more in his
behalf than did the American FEEDER
alton of Labor; although Mr.. Lewis
did collect nearly half a million dol
lars from members of the United
Mine Workers as a contribution to
the Democratic campaign fund.
But neither that o anything
else. these friends say, justifes a de-
mand by Lewis for support of m
faction of organized labor in prefer
ence to another: nor car impartial
observers see that the Administra-
ton is under any greater obligation
to Labor than it is to all other Cit
liens. To all it owes impartial ad-
ministration of the laws designed to
insure equal justice and %opportun-
ity to everybody, and to none does
it Owe more than that.
Reaction Against Lewis

has had the effect of making the
Department Of Labor and all other
Government agencies concerned

sured at this conference that the
900 still to be paid would be moved
on for payment very shortly. So
far the payments on the soils con-
servation program to this county
