The appointment by Govenor Burnquist of a committee on land settlements for returning soldiers and industrial workers is a timely step in the right direction which will meet with general public approval and is in line with proposals which are now under consideration by the Land Committee of the na- tional House of Representatives. However, the policy the governor has in view ig of a broader scope than the plans out- lined by Secretary Lane or in the bills presented in- congress. The purpose of the national legislation now in preparation is to provide farms for returning soldiers on easy and workable terms, while the governor would extend similar privileges also peace. ; It is to be assumed that the appointment of this com- mittee will be the initial step in working out a comprehensive policy. for rapid settling of the vast areas of productive state lands that are waiting for willing hands to work them and reap their sleeping riches. A committee made up of such men as those selected by the governor may be expected to formulate and present to the next legislature a practical scheme of leg- islation so well prepared and digested that final affirmative action may be had in the course of the session. The duty of the state and the people to our returning heroes is plain. No doubt thousands of them will wish to estab- lish homes on a piece of the soil for which they have fought to industrial workers, who may be fitly termed our soldiers of}- and bled; and the terms of settlement must be so broad and liberal as to insure success for the soldier-settler. Minnesota, of all states, should take the lead in prompt action along these lines. She has a vast army of fighters in France, but she can provide all of them with farms on better lands than are now to be found anywhere else in the country in sufficient quanti- ties. The governor has pointed the way. . The Public Safety Commission will see that a law embody- ing a comprehensive and practical soldiers’ and sailors’ land policy will be put before the people at the earliest possible moment,. RN R IT SURELY IS A GREAT DAY/ Do you remember what day today is? ‘What anniversary? When Christopher Columbus old boy set his feet upon these shores it was this date, but little did he dream what a lusty democratic empire would result and be engaged today in mak- ing the entire world a democracy and insure peace among all nations of the earth. 1t is also Liberty Day, set by the president for more inten- sive work on the Fourth Liberty Loan. Itis a day upon which the Italian societies of the nation will celebrate. Italy is one of the best of the allies and her sons-and daughters and descen- dents in America are justly entitled to celebrate to the limit. It surely is a great day. SECTIONALISM IN PRACTICE. Representative Claud Kitchin denied that he made the assertion that the revenue bill had been so drawn as to make the North pay the bulk of the taxes, but he admitted that such would be its effect. Now Secretary of the Treasury McAdoo comes forward with the information that the South was dire- lict in subscriptions to the Third Liberty Loan. On an average, 17.5 per cent of the people of the country were subscribers to the Third Liberty Loan, but the ten states that came in at the tail of the list were all in the South, and North Carolina, Kit- chin’s own state, was at the tip of the tail. Only 8.3 per cent of the people of North Carolina were subscribers to the loan. e Qi REMOVE THE LID. The Democratic National Committee is out with a cam- paign pamphlet bearing the picture of President Wilson on the front cover, in which it is declared, among many other things, that “the war is being conducted efficiently, honestly, force- fully, free from partisanship, fear, favor and graft.” Now won’t the committee ask the president to make public the Hughes report on the aircraft fiasco, so as tq afford substantial proof of their assertion? SRR, M oAy PEACE OFFERS BREAK SPIRIT OF HUN FIGHTERS. According to dispatches, the moral of the German troops is greatly dissipated by the peace notes offered by the powers of Germany and Austria. The German soldiers have become possessed that their battling is hopeless when their chiefs and the power of the empire indicate their readiness to quit with defeat staring them on the face. [, —— It is to be hoped that General Pershing will give ample notice of the final surrender of the Huns, so that a lot of swivel chair officers can get “over there” before it is to late. o TR ST 8 : The brewers paid their money to Brisbane but got most of their lease of life from higher ups.
