He submitted the ques- tion late in the session, when it was manifestly impossible to take action before adjournment. Thus the matter was placed officially before the senate and the country, and will be thoroughly discussed | through the press and on the platform during} the congressional recess. As is the case with most | questions there are two sides té"this one. | The president and Secretary Hughes have pre-| ented it from the viewpoint of those who favor} American adhesion to the international court pro-}| tocol. Briefly stated, the argument is that it has long been the policy of the United States to ad- just disputes according to law and by arbitra- tion and that a court has been set up which we! should encourage other nations to utilize and! which we should utilize ourselves when occasion | offers. Our parti¢ipation in the court would be| limited to such cases as we may specifically agree to submit and would not legally involve us in the} league of nations. . Opposing arguments are readily apparent. The judges of the court are chosen by the league of nations, and even if we have a voice in the selec- » but he is not try- | ticn of judges, we could hope to select not moze} than one of the eleven judges. A great majority of the court would be made up of repr of nations whose interests are antagonistic to ours and who would depend upon the league of nations for re-election. | Although we might not be technically and le-' gally bound to submit any particular dispute to the court, yet if we adhere to the protocol and another nation with which we have a dispute earn- estly desired to submit the same*to the court, we could not well refuse, even though we felt that we would be going before a prejudiced tribunal. We} would find ourselves subject to the charge of bad) faith if we refused, and our antagonist would be able to gain the support of public opinion among other nations by reason of our refusal.

In the case of the sixty-seventh congress, the official life of which expired on March 4, there is much tobe said in its favor. No congress in our history has been confronted by a larger task embodying disagreeable work, difficult work; scavenger work. Coming into being with a tremendous inheritance from a previous administration that had been in- efficient and unfaithful, the people had become un- reasonable in their expectations in results from the sixty-seventh congress. An unwieldy Repub- lican majority, with pressing interests, was a hampering factor in the thousands of compro- mises necessary to secure legislation at all. However with the many and the monumental dif- ficulties in the way of accomplishment, the con- gress takes its place in history as one of faithful- ness to public interest and of great achievement | | biased, because he has pursued the industry for a long time with all the vigor he possessed and such support as he could gain by insinuation and innuendo. i If an industry needs investigation, it should be investigated, but it should be done fairly. The public cannot approve of hounding any great na- tional activity and prejudging it crooked through prejudice, It is therefore of interest not only to the busi- nes and industrial world to hear that the Stand-| ard company is preparing not only a complete an- swer to the LaFollette charges but its statement will contain the information once offered the com- mittee and which should have been given to the: public with the charges which LaFollette has seen fit to make. We hold no brief for the Standard Oil company A count of the vote showed 227 in! favor of the proposal and 42 against. This is lacking one of a majority vote! of the 655 unit holders entitled to express themselves on the proposi- tion, but as several ballots have since come ‘non the proposition that have not yet been opened, it seems assured that drainage has carried by a = majority, and all that is now worry: ing the reclamation service, the board | of directors, and all those who have) been heartily in favor of the plan ts! that through a lack of interest the vote may not come in_ suffictently strong to make the majority for drainage as large as had been hoped for. The plan is to construct 24 miles of open drain this season using two electric draglines operating three and a-splendid advancement for the town of Glendoy-and the north end of the county. Preliminary esttmates for the cost of the proposed irrigation project in the Glendo country are $374,634 for the 9.450 acres included under tho survey—an average of $39.50 per acre.

The 'n ‘take and dam of the present system is in .a deplorable condition, and should an unusually large amount of flocd water come down the river this spring from the melting snows, it 1s thought that perhaps the dam will be washed out.

On these three things together hang all the law and the prophets and our prosperity as a nation. Moreover, they have this in common; they are read all too sel- dom. “Service to the public’ has become the watch word of the insurance profession today. 1f it is de sired permanently to establish the sincerity both of that phrase and of its makers, then there is no more effec(u«! way than by persuading the public at large to read its policies of insurance.
