On the proposed federal project east 0° Bismarck, estimate for which has been accepted some $126,000 for paving 2.6 miles there is in addition a 10 per cent engineering charge of some $12,600 for a road more than half of which is*al¥eady laid out, tly deal with SOLVING THE RAISIN PROBLEM Just what overhead in re promotion and engineering this ten per cent represents has never been clearly shown. Ingineering costs per mile differ in the v, rious states. On the famous Richland county project in which ‘Treadwell Twichell was involved, engineering expense was some $700. It may be a perfectly legitimate char covering items other than the mere drawing of plans and supervision. To many taxpayers in Burleigh county, however, an en- gineering cost of more than $6,000 a mile, {All goes to the engineers, seems rather high. The House committee might well get the matter of engi- neering expense settled for the state and find out if it is] higher than what obtains in other states and if the charges in this state in every instance are wholly justified. Amounts vary so between projects similar in character Some comparisons might be interesting. Lets have a few facts along this line anyway. OF MR. WARREN | There is little sympathy among the people toward the attitude of the United States senate which continually seeks to block President Coolidge’s cabinet appointments. There is now before the senate, the nomination of Kellogg, Warren and Jardine. The attack upon Charles B. Warren is part and parcel of the “political bunk” of R. M. LaQollette urged agair so-called “big business” which was so thoroughly | repudiated at the polls last November. The Democrats in, the senate have sided in with the LaFollette bloc to oppose | Coolidge as long as possible despite the fact that the nation | N MID TION } overcentl., functioning der popular control, God Al mighty lias fixed a limitation upon human capacity, and we have reached it, we have gone beyond it.

So many vineyards have been planted in the raisin district that in a good year they can produce more raising than the country will eat. Even a small surplus may depress the market ruinously to the growers, while cheapening raisins to the con- sumers searcely at all. So the organized growers, now 2 nj highly capitalized company, _ with huge packing plants and distribution systems, put experts to work to find anvoutlet for the surplus. They have devised a way of mak- ing high-class sirup from the excess raisins, and now the growers will erect a factory and go into the sirup business: There will be raisins for sale to whoever wants to buy raisins, in whatever quantity the market will take—and no more. All the rest will go on the mar- |ket in the form or another, non- ‘competing food. Thus a problem is solved by co- A $4 operation which could never have vest girls I ever knew been solved by separate effort, whether by growers or packers.

Under ex- isting methods, there would have been no possibility of action within the remaining time.

NORTH DAKOTA’S COME-BACK L. B. Hanna speaking at Fargo recently said: “Indebtedness of North Dakota with the Federal Reserve bank has been reduced, within two years, from $18,000,000 to $3,300,000. Corresponding re- duction in debts with the War Finance corporation has been made from a high point of $20,000,000 to somewhat more than $4,000,000. Indebtedness due correspondent banks which once totaled many millions has been cut 75 per cent.” These few lines’ tell volumes. North Dakota’s come- back has been registered in no uncertain terms, CONCERNED ‘Strangely enough, Holland is the country that worries most over possibility of war between Japan and the United States.

REACTIONARIES MAY BE FOOLED A let of progressives having gone reactionary, the reactionaries now take up a progressive policy. It was the progressives who pro- posed: the plan of having constitu- tional amendments ratified by the people, rather than by the legisla- tures of the various states. The purpose was to assure action, |, not later than the next election, and to have that action directly by the people, Now come the reactionaries, who do not believe in constitutional amendments at all, and make the same proposal, with the hope that it would make ratifications less like- ly. . For the present, they are doubt- less right. The people, just now are conservative. But they do not stay so, and when they are aroused, they will some- times venture bolder steps than their representatives. The reactionaries may be hoist by their own petard, If ‘they get their amendment adopted, they may find it the cause, some day, of the very amendment they most fear. ) A Thought ——————————— o——__— Lord, now lettest thou thy servant depart in peace.—Luke 2:29.
