THE STATE’S OLDEST NEWSPAPER s (Established 1873) : —————— H.C. L. HITS R. R. The high cost of living works a hardship upon railroads, too. It is even worse with railroads than humans, for, with most humans, it is, possi- ble to get more wages to meet the increasing cost of existence. These wage increases have come pretty often and in many instances are large enough to offset soaring prices. Not so with rail- roads. , Since the general freight and passenger in- creases when the government first took over the roads there have been no boosts. This despite the more-than-100-per-cent increase in all it takes to keep a railroad running. ; _ Six years ago you could buy a locomotive for $27,876. Today you will pay $75,750, an increase of 171 percent. Then a'box car cost about $1,000; today the cost is $3,000, increase of 200 percent. It 1915 a 90-foot girder bridge, not including mas- onry, cost $6,427. Today it costs $15,117, an in- crease of 135 percent. Track building materials have increased 110 percent in price in five years; building materials for terminal structures, and for repairs of depots, etc., have more than doubl- ed in cost. . , Cah Railroads are paying more for labor, for inter- est on mortgages, 50 percent more on the latter. They are paying more for coal in the engine, and more for ice in the water cooler back in the coach. Figure all that out and place the result along- side the necessity for an adequate, up-to-date transportation system. FOR WOMEN ONLY It’s time, madam, you were brushing up on’ poli- tics. In other years, when.the men gathered in the parlor to talk politics, you would go upstairs and do some sewing. ‘(This is no place for me,’’ you would say, as you skipped away, taking it for. granted that your mind never was made to comprehend such deep stuff as polities. But this year you will not be able to exile your- self gracefully from political discussions in your! parlor, if the 36th state ratifies woman’s suffrage— as, in all probability will be done. : To say that politics is ‘‘too mu h”? for you is to admit that you are not yet qualified to exercise the high right which has been conferred upon you. And there stil] are many backward-looking men who will gladly grant you that, and rejoice to hear you make such an admission. 2 3 As'a matter of fact, politics is not-‘‘too much”’ for you. In thinking that it is, you are merely ob- sessed by a tradition, fostered by men. The under- standing of polities calls mainly for that common sense, that intuitive judgment with which women, are better equipped than their husbands, It calls for discrimination between the right and wrong of ‘issues, in which, as you know, your judg- ment frequently is.less erring than your husband’s,| “On, moral issues, a woman is five times right to a man’s one,” said a philosopher. And, basically, madam, the issues of’ politics are moral ones, such as you know how to settle so well. You approach the ballot free of the prejudices and traditions that befog the minds of men. Here are some general rules to guide you in your new part: | Rs Do.not run away from political discussions in your home. Listen in, It’s your business to do so. Read political news and views in the newspapers. Don’t turn away, from-an article just because it’s “polities: ?? Sue School yourself ‘in the issues of the campaign and the qualities of the candidates. Form opinions. As you become more cértain of yourself, discuss them with other women and, afterwards, with your male relatives. You will soon discover that politics is not “too much” for you. Think not that thy word and thine alone must be right.—Sophocles. t THE FOOD CROP The American food crop for 1920 will be good. This is the verdict of the United States Depart- ment of Agriculture, based upon its crop investiga- » tions to and including the first week of July. The yield of all crops will be greater than: the fivé-year average. ’ Larger crops than last year are forecast for spring wheat, ‘oats, barley, potatoes, tobacco, flax, rice and apples. While it is early to set an exact figure on the corn crop it is estimated the yield will be several million bushels greater than the five-year average. All of which is promising. It bespeaks plenty of food to eat. It is pleasant for the producer to con- template—and for the consumer, too. It means more money for the farmer, and more food for city. folk. : But there is this fear developing in some minds: ‘Phere won’t be enough cars to move :the crops.’’ There are dire predictions of food rotting in fields, of cities unable to get food through railroad chan- nels, And, the frightful scarecrow of ‘‘unheard of prices’’ is raised. There never has been a summer of good crop pros- pects that agricultural folk haven’t experienced the nightmare of car-shortage. And yet, always,. the food got hauled to market. It got to the crowded city, to the consumer’s backdoor, to the seaboard, to Liverpool. Those frightened souls who profess to see moun- tains of food rotting: because cars are unobtainable are merely alarmists. They see a field of yellowing |’ grain and no cars on the sidetrack nearby. ‘They forget there is time to get the cars there after the harvest.. All the food must not be hauled in a day, nor a week, nor even a month. Crops asglarge, and even larger, have been: hauled in former years, and with no more cars, They will get to market this year. Don’t worry needlessly. ve : . f :.

The Times probably does not know that South Dako- ta produces’ more wealth per capita than any state in the Union; that its per capita bank deposits are equaled by but few states; that it is third in the number. of ‘automobiles owned, population consid- ered; that its public debt.is a mere pittance; that it has no poverty stricken people, and that New York would go hungry if South Dakota stopped producing. South Dakota is not poor in revenue or in anything else. True, it owns a less number of swallowtail coats than does New York, but’ it’ also hag a fdr less number of people who do not know where their next meal is coming from.

Possibly he has in fain memory the time when it was a popular outdoor diversion in California to throw out the original Mexican owners. . : The pending legislation declares that the Jap- anese “constitute an imminent and pressing men- ace to the'peace of the state and the welfare of its citizens.” From this distance and with knowl- edge of the relatively small Jap population the statement seems exaggerated. . But after. all, it is the prevailing opinion not only in that state but |, along the coast and into British Columbia. The impossibility of assimilation and the certainty, of the formation of isolated Japanese communities constitute problems upon which the two nations represented never can get together for solution. Both know it; and in the end both know that local opinion will have its way.
