In view of the horrible mess there is to be cleaned up in| NorthnDa:kota, we are just wondering if, after all, quite a few| of our farmer friends, who a few months ago thought the only | possible source of help for them was through the Townley plan, do not honestly believe now there may possibly be another bet- ter way. Taking into con: i sideration the legislation for farmers thatE has been passed by the Minnesota legislature, th;tt all boards| of trade shall be public markets; thaf; representatives of all co- operative associations shall be permitted to hold membership in such organizations; the prohibitxop of' gamb]gng in futures; a provision for the standardization of grain grading; the futm'ei submission of a constitutional amendment to the voters for the purpose of ascertaining whether or not they w_xsh to extend the credit of the state in the development of agricultural lands— have the farmers’ interests not been better taken care of than by the bankrupt consumers’ stores route, or the financially embar-| rassing state bank method or the unprofitable state packing in-| dustry or state flour mill venture? . . Never in the history of our state legislature has agric ult\g— ral legislation received the consideration and the prominence it has received at this session. The legislature has kept its prom-| ises to the people. These laws were asked for and they have been granted. i ! There are many national problems which the farmer,| through his state farm bureau, can help solve by the influence| of the state organization in the American Farm Bureau federa- tion. At the present time there is perhaps no greater px:oblerp facing the farmer than his farm labor. What is to be his atti- tude on immigration? The American Farm Bureau federation | is asking for an informal referendum in order that it may know what request to place before congress. - Do -you want restricted immigration based on an educg-i tional test, with a law requiring immigrants to report to certam{ authorities as a method of controling foreigners after their ad-| mission? Would you favor a certain distribution plan which would send immigrants to certain parts of the country where| their labor is needed? What is your attitude on these ques- tions? Let your State Farm Bureau federation know what you think. ——0: THIRTEEN MONTH YEAR NEXT ‘Are we to have thirteen months in a year? If a new move- ment, which has been started, is able to weather all the opposi- tion that is bound to be shied at it it may perhaps become a reality. The plan of the new calendar provides for thirteen months of exactly four weeks each with an additional indepen- dent legal holiday to be known as New Year day. This would make the 365 days. In the case of leap year, there would be another independent day called Leap Year day.. Each month would sfart on Monday and have 28 days—1st, 8th, 15th and| 22nd day of every month would be Monday, and 7th, 14th, 21st; and 28th day would be Sunday. The extra month would. be called “Liberty,” and would come after February. Four months would be placed in the summer season and three in each of the three others, | It is claimed, by its proponents, that this new calendar would cause a saving of $40,000,000 annually in cost of printed | and lithographed calendars, while the combined saving of time| and money would total more than $150,000,000. | A bill which provides for the adoption of this new form has) already been introduced in congress and it is expected a similar bill will be introduced into the British parliament. < s [ OVERHEARD BY EXCHANGE EDITOR: [ ¢ , AARRAMAAANASSAAARRRRARLLLLAISAARANSARAARARANRARSRRARARSRNARYLELARARLEY Lo Telling Them About It / The editor of the Chilowee (Ga.)

CLARK. ‘Washington.—There are some men In Washington, who perhaps know what they would like to have happen, who think that the lease of life of Vice President Coolidge as an outside member of the cabinet is likely to be a short one. In other words, there | are some officials in legislative life who do mot like the idea of having the vice president sit in at the cabi- net meetings and who think that thereby some of their own presttge is to be losi So far as one who bas been in this town a geod niany years can remem- ber, there never has been an innova- tion of any kind which was entirely well received by all the legislative gentlemen who sit on Capitol Hill, and whose desire is to guard their prerogatives in any case. This thing is in no sense a partisan matter, It is simply a human matter. The Democrats and Republicans alike have shown jealousy of extra powers newly conferred on govermment offi- clals and occasionally hive taken it out in carping at what they call new- fangled notions, generally predicting dire happenings unless reform speedl-" 1y should be worked. When President Harding, while vet| a candidate for electlon, said that he thought the vice president ought to| have a more important place in the ! counsels of the administration, there seemingly was general public, or at any rate, party approval of the sug- gestion. There was no IRepublican legislator at that time who cared to| raise his voice in protest, or ever in miid criticism of the candidate’s sug- gestion, for no party man with a de- sire for success of the ticket cares in the middle of a campaign to say anytbing divect or indlirect in contra- ventlon of an espressed thougirt of the standard bearer. Leaders Find Fault. Today things are a little different. The Republicans sgcceeded fn carry- ing the election. New with a big ma- Jority in either house of cougress and with four years of the presidency to run, some few leaders are beginning to speak out a bit. Apparently the influential ones do not want Mr. Cool- | Hge to share with the cabinet officers the official intimacy with.the Presi- dent of the-United States which at- terdance at the meetings of the cabi- net necessarily involves. Why {s this? The reason is easy. The Republican leaders in house and seuate always bave maintaned they should De the first ones to receive from the Prestdent of the TUnited States any intimation of a new legis- Intive! policy, or of the revival of an old ane. They do not like to feel that any man except a cabinet officer, even though he be vice president of the United States., shall get advance jn- formatfon or that the lemuders should expected to receive their in- formagion from anybody but the Presi- dent. In President's Hands. Tt must be said that it Is !lkely that “1he outcropping of eriticism, and possibly jealousy, Which have mani- fested themselves here recently in this matter of the vice presidential cabl- net duties soon will disappear from the scene. Legislators, even leading ones, frequently like other people, are given to second thoughts on a sub- Ject.. Tn truth, the whole thing proba- Mly is In the hands of President Hurding. There is no doubt about his desire to have the vice presidemt take part in the administration’s cabinet conferences, It a President of the’ United States, no matter what his par- ty, makes it known to the leaders in congress that he desires a certain thing and Intends to stand by his de- sire, the leaders generally recede from any advanced position which they may hava taken and utter a word or two to the effect ‘“‘we never meant it.” { Wae vice president took part in the | first cabinet meeting of the year, and inflormation came that his presence | off the cabinet, and that the President | wus especially pleased ‘because Mr. Coolidge, when his opinlon was asked on any subject, gave 1t freely, and | without any embatrassment arising | from the new order of things. “ There are some ‘“legal nrinded” | members of congress who seem fo feel | that bechuse the duties of the vice president are outlined by the law nf‘, the land, he should be restricted to | the field of those duties, and that any | entry which lie nnkes into other fields i3 not within the spirit of the law. The whole matter has caused sorie gossip in Washington, and perhaps it s only a small sized tempest in a very | Jarge teapot.

The: one sign of failure in th 416-20 Minp. Ave. army: the now frequently recurring announcement that military surprised arepublican ambush, killed one or two rebels. That means the military authorities are being informed of planned ambushes. There is also the big proportion of unsuccessfud am- bushes, But, according to impartial observ- ers in the martial law area, repres- sion sofar has merely made Sinn Feiners of moderates and even Uuion- ts. Instead of causing disintegra- 'tion, it has further welded the people in their determination to carry on the biggest revolt Ireland has known. 5 - Ambushes are still possible hecause there are not enough soldiers to carry out the British program. Patrols are used and these are ambushed. There is every sign, in the increased repressive measures, that the govern- ment intends to crush. Sinn Fein. But there has been no indication so far of a datermination to obtain the soldiers necessary to do it.
