(Established 1873) ‘ A THIRD PARTY’S CHANCES vi * Senator Borah’s intimation that a new party may be in the field in the 1924 presidential election if certain legisla- tion in accord with.his ideas and others of his group is not enacted in the next Congress has more than passing interest, céming as it does after the election in which the ruling forces siiffered severe reverses. ; Senator Borah was counted on to jéin the “Bull Moose” party in 1912 but he chose to remain with the Republican party. He has been out of accord with the Harding administration on: many: questions, particularly | ip: his demand for. recognition of Soviet Russia. There is also the Progressive party proposed for 1924 by the Com- mittee of Forty-Kight and the suggestion of a Farmer-Labor | coalition. : \ *. The “Bull Moose” party failed even under the dynamic Roosevelt, by far a stronger figure before the people than any other man who now appears to be a possibility as head ot .a party in 1924. The movement failed because its plat- form did not convince enough people that the aims set out could not be accomplished through existing parties. Not only would a Third Party in 1924 lack a leader who could com- mand national support but jt is not apparent at this time that a platform embracing the rather indefinite demands for eccnomic reform and progressive legislation could be so de- fined as to turn millions of voters from their adherence to} the principles of the past. ; , The Republican party has been elastic. It has heen in- fused with progressive and radical tendencies on more than one occasion, and the Republicans have generally accepted the dictates of the voters as the basis for party action. The greater ‘success that the critics of the party have gained has been through the party itself. It is not inconceivable—it is even predicted by men of affairs who have made a deep study of the political tendencies of the times—that the growth of cjass demands will eventually force a clearer division between pregressive and conservative, or radical and progressive, forces in this country., But the star ofia third party burns dimly at this time, nor are the signs propitious for any marked success for such a movement two vebrs hence. : 7 WHAT CAN THE CLUB DO? Many citizens doubtless have turned over in their minds the question of what a commercial organization may accom- plish.for Bismarck, Among them may arise the question of freight rates. None is more important, and there is no greater task confronting the new commercial club in the near future than this. Freight, rates have been built around ‘cen- ters of distribution, and as. the Twin! Cities of Minnesota have been the chief distributing points of the Northwest for many years freight rates have been built up to favor the shippers of those cities. But the relation of these cities and North Dakota has changed, and wholesale houses of Fargo, Jamestown and Bismarck are in active competition with the, business, houses of the BiG Cities. Fargo has already| through its Commercial Club begun a rate-fight which likely will react to the benefit of that city. But should Fargo gain all it desires, Bismarck would be at a still greater disad-| vantage. The Commercial Club of Jamestown also is taking a@ hand in rate matters. Freight rates that will permit a further development of the city on equal terms with com- petitors are necessary, and it. is doubtful if the desired re-| sult can be attained in any ‘other method than through a live’ commercial club. : t DUMB-BELL & CO. ¢ Engineers used to say ‘that it was impossible to bridge the Hudson River at New York City. They have changed} their minds. _ The bridge will be built. The impossibility of yesterday is the accomplishment of tomorrow. So -runs civilization. ; ! : «The new bridge will have for its “backbone” four cables, each*12 feet in'‘diameter. These cables will support the cen- tral,span, 3000 feet long, without a pier in the water below., = The bridge, says one engineer, will contain 450,000 tons of | steel, which is more steel than all the bridges across the! Mississippi,. Missouri and Ohio Rivers. --By 1940 st least 25,000,000 vehicles and 200,000,000 pas- sengers a year will be passing over this bridge—if expecta- tions materialize. Quite a job, to keep New York City connected with the! United States. i | =. Representative Ernest Ackerman of New Jersey says the® bridge across the Hudson will be “the most stupendous engineering work yet undertaken, surpassing in that respect and_also in final cost the Panama Canal.” . _ The actual bridge will cost at least $100,000,000. About $115,000,000 additional will be requried for the terminal towers from which the huge cables will be suspended. These terminal towers will rise into the air 685 feet. Very strong | towers required, to support 400,000 tons, the weight of the steel in the suspended section. More millions required, for the-approaches. : It makes you wonder, is there any limit to the engineer-| ing-powers of man, second only to the ant (in proportion to/| size) as a builder? - This enormous expenditure of money, human labor and/| materials is necessary because people persist in flocking to: join the swarm in New York City, each year on a larger scale. | It is just a beginning of what will be required in the fu-| ture. All this, the penalty of flocking to an island. +4 Jn the long run, it might be cheaper to abandon New York | City proper and move the swarmers to the: mainland of the United States. ~ : It starts you wondering if, after all, many of our “vast engimeering feats” are not rather futile. The high cost of 7 eed together, like all other costs, has a prohibitive | limit. | | /EDITORIAL REVIEW Comments reproduced in: this = column may or may not express the opinion of The Tribune.

He ought to be introduced, for whatever ‘his party label and! his doctrines, he will be a United | States senaor from.

The ideas | he, stands for are, not “socialism, really,;but what exper in the| hraseology of economic contro-| versy call “state capitalism.” But} naturally -such ideas find more} favor with Socialists than with non- | Socialists.
