Established 1873) | Bie oO: == IT JUST SOUNDS BIG The German republic’s new constitution pro- | vides a salary of $240,000 and residence quarters in the former royal palace of Bellevue for the| president. Considered compartively, it seems large re-| muneration for a republic that’s going to be} skinned, drawn and quartered for war indemnities | but, really, it’s no sinecure. The president has | got to be man enough to collect his pay out of about 16 different varieties of Hun political fac- | tions, most of which don’t believe in paying for anything, gouging or outright robbery being so | much cheaper. \ Then, too, President Ebert is likely to look from | the royal palace window, some beautiful:morning, | and see the owner-come riding across the draw- bridge on a war horse clad in steel, swinging the good old Hohenzollern cleaver and athirst for re-| publican blood. Forsooth! $20,000 the month and) a bed on the tip top of the royal palace isn’t a bit too much, when you consider the chances of dying standing up in your boots before the first pay day | arrives, are considered. | NEW SPIRIT OF SERVICE We saw something in an old exchange the other day that made us feel pleasantly warm to our mental toes. That faith-renewed-in-humanity radiance that) occasionally we weel when unexpectedly we chance} on a token of man’s inmate decency. | It was a “display” advertisement of a leading! merchant. This “ad” contained nothing but Lincoln’s Get- tysburg speech and this foreword from the mer- chant: , : 4 | “To the Young Men of ‘the City: | “On this day, the anniversary of the | birth of Abraham Lincoln, I can perform for you no higher service than to print here the beloved president’s Gettysburg address ; “and to ask you to read it again—earnestly, ' thoughtfully—from its first word, to :its last.” This sort of a thing is big. | When a business man for a day dedicates his| business to commemorate and to keep alive the} spirit of Lincoln hé is doing something indeed. The war introduced the patriotic note into store} advertising, and now it seems that some leaders are going to go farther and promote good citizen-| ship without thought of profit. | Business men and firms generally are feeling} the throb of this new ‘spirit of service, and the contribution of the nation’s business men in paid a job they hate, because they never had a chance to sell their services in a big market. If the work- ers of the nation are listed and available to the pe ees Sede Mer | WITH THE EDITORS |" A SOCIAL SHOCK ABSORBER Behind an inconspicuous news item published last night lies the story of a political and ‘social revolution inthis country of which it is time the American people took note. The news was that the legislature of North Dakota had passed two bond issues totalling $15,000,000, of which $10,- 000,000 was for the rural credit system of the pro- posed North Dakota state bank and $5,000,000 for { state-owned elevators, flour mills, and warehouses. Until last year the debt limit of the state was $200,000. There is no limit now. That single fact nd the use already made of the freedom to vote credits indicates what is going on. But these are only hints. A couple of years or more ago the eastern news- papers and periodicals told something of the Non- | partisan league, an organization of farmers in the northwest based mainly on the idea suggested by its name. The war screened its subsequent devel- cpment. Today it is active in thirteen states. Regun as a league of farmers in behalf of farmers, it is joining hands with radical labor groups, and one of its active agents, an I. W. W. worker, is busy among them preaching the doctrine of co- operation between workmen and priducers. Its president, A. C. Townley, familiarly known among his enemies as After Cash Townley, used to be active inthe Socialist par' The vice president, Thomas Van Lear, was the Socialist mayor of Min- neapolis who hobnobbed with Senator La Follette. Other leaders are Herbert E. Gaston, a well known Socialist writer, and Walter T. Mills, Populist, sup- porter of Debs, and silver campaigner for Bryan. The purpose of these men is to establish a national party which shall embrace all the elements of dis- |content in the country and fetter capital in the interest of labor. Meanwhile on the small stage ofthe capital of North Dakota farmers in full possession of all the machinery of government are giving an act that may be regarded as a curtain raiser for the nation- wide drama in contemplation. Apparently mere puppets of shrewder men, these farmers are going about the business of looking out for themselves with a thoroughness the Russianist soviet might well envy. : It was not until the fall of 1918 that the league came into its own. Then it captured the assembly by 79 of 118 members and the senate by 39 of 45. It has the governor and four or five members of the’ state supreme court. To insure perpetuity in | the enlarged electorate it has organized a woman’s auxiliary in every precinct. Thus armed, the league proposes— to place the monopolistic control of most cf our basic ‘utilities in the hands of the public and-to eliminate the middlemen who now control cur markets; to bring the producer and the consumer closer together, and to give-the workmen of the city and the farm- ers of the country a proportional represen- tation in the congress of the United States and the legislatures of the various states. “A national movement will come if the North Dakota movement is successful.” The pace of that movement is not slow. As soon as the league-con- itrolled legislature was organized it proceeded to put the state constitution in the way of rapid patriotic publicity during the war was worthy | much more attention and praise than it received. | Business need not be selfish to be successful. | Some of the biggest businesses of the nation today | are the least grasping. UNCLE SAM ON JOB One of the biggest improvements the war brought was the total revolution of the employ-} ment agency system. Until recently an employment agency was a place in the city rib steak district, or liver and onion section, where uncouth figures sprawled against posts and watched ferret eyed young men} chalk cute little signs like this on hug street black-| boards: “Wanted six swampers, prefer Austra- lians, $2 a day and R. R. fare.” “Wanted second cook, lumber camp, $10 a month.” “Wanted 20 railroad workers, $1.75, board $5 a week, Italians preferred.” And so on. An employment agency was a place where human cattle were sold into bondage to slave driv-| ers; where the failures connected with a tem- porary meal ticket. But now that Uncle Samuel has taken charge of things it is different. The federal employment bureau in Chicago re-| cently placed an executive in a $15,000 job. Many bureaus report that they have placed returning soldiers in positions paying from $200 a month totwice that. -— : Already some of the big employers are sending} their needs to these bureaus, and the demand is bringing the supply so that skilled workers of the highest type are being listed. >The employment agency idea always was a one. r'could select the person precisely qualified _ & clearing house, where the worker could find} the job he was best suited for, and where the em- alteration by the device ofan emergency referen- dum initiated by 7,000°electors. Opponents of the league say what was done was illegal, but the changes suggested and carried by popular vote are | now being given effect, as part of the constitution. ;One exempts all farm improvements from taxa- tion. Another takes the limit off state indebted- iness. Another makes amendments of the consti- |tution a simple and expeditious matter. Another imposes an acreage tax to create a state insurance fund. Another requires a four-out-of-five supreme court decision to invalidate any law. Another allows the state and any county or city to engage in any enterprise, industry, or business not con- | nected with intoxicating liquor. The way thus paved for “the programme of | state socialism,” the legislature lost no time in put- \ting through a list of bills described as follows: An act for the building of state terminal elevators and flour mills. An act which makes the state a kind of building and loan association. 3 | An act for the creation of a state hail ee 5 | insurance fund. | | | | | An act creating an industrial commis- sicn to manage these industries and enter- | prises. 2 \ | In explanation of what they have done the |leaders say: “We have been living under indus- trial autocracy, and the people will not tolerate it any longer.. If our opponents were intelligent and | patriotic, as they pose to be, they would welcome |this movement as a social shock absorber, but! they are not patriotic or intelligent. No matter’ | whether state-owned banks and elevators are so- \cialism or not, North Dakota wants them.” The |news of yesterday shows the state is in the way of getting what it wants. \ There is some evidence that shrewd trouble makers are behind all this. It is to be observed, however, that the wheat farmers of North Dakota were driven to measures of self-protection by ex- tortions practised against them by the millers and men stumble through life burdened with|big elevator interests—New York Globe. - employers of the country both classes willsbencfit. henceforth restore order out of. chaos, UL etary eee W.
