Labor Cleans House Signs multiply that organized labor has taken up the job of cleaning its own house in as thor- ough manner as the public could wish. In just very recent days incidents occurred that mark the determination of the unions to sweep their door yards that are most gratifying. They happened in widely separated localities, one at Portland, Ore., and the other in New York. Just about as far apart as you id get them. ee Portland matter was the revocation of the credentials to the annual convention of the American Federation of Labor, of William Fr. Dunn of the Central Labor Council at Butte, Mont. ‘The plain charge against him reported | from the floor and overwhelmingly sustained | by the convention, was that of being a traitor to organized labor on account of his activities as a communist. The New York case was that of the Internat- ional Ladies’ Garment Workers Union which ousted nineteen of the twenty-five members of the executiye committee of one of the strongest locals in the organization and debarred them from holding office after a trial in which it was shown that they were affiliated with W. Z. Foster's organization and espoused his “boring. from-within” tactics in an effort to contami- nate organized labor in America with foreign socialistic and communistic doctrines, That organized labor in this country is thor- oughly alive to the menace of foreign propa- ganda along this, and other lines as well, and resents these things, is shown by constantly re curring incidents similar to those mentioned. Too much credit cannot be given to labor for its watchfulness and prompt action when facts are developed warranting the action that has been taken in the situations named. Labor is essentially loyal to American insti- tutions, and from the t that it has such a large percentage of foreign born members in its ranks, is all the more reason for honoring the organization for upholding the American sys- tem. have Financing Producers Financial legislation enacted by congress just previous to adjournment last spring ers and livestock interests a protection against such deflation as that which precipitated the agricultural crisis in 1920. Machinery has been set up for this legislation through which loans can be made for periods corresponding to crop and livestock turnover. As a consequence, it now possible for grain growers and livestoc interests to complete their operations and sell their products leisure- ly and orderly without being compelled to dump them on the market at a tremendous sacrifice in order to meet maturing obligidtions in the form of short term notes. This great reform, which was financial quite as much as agricultural, was effected by the agricultural credits act. There has been position in some quarters to criticise this as a departure from established banking practice. This criticism is not well founded. Credit is as necessary for the farmer as for the business man. Our king system has grown up primar- ily to serve industrial and mercantile interests. Tt was not adapted to the needs of agriculture. Consequently, that industry upon which over one-third of the population depends and in which they were engaged and which represents 40 per cent of the buying power of the United States was without adequate credit facilities— certainly without credit facilities on a par with those of other interests. The farmers and livestock men in times past were compelled to get loans on short term paper without any guaranty they would be renewed for periods long enough to permit the harvest- ing of the crop or the sale of the stock which the loans were intended to finance. Very fre- quently they were called before the crops were marketed or the livestock matured, with the re- sult that the farmer and the stockman lost heay- ily and frequently forced into bankruptcy. This defective system has disappeared never to return. In its place is the system of inter mediate credit built up under the agricultural credits act of 1 This new financial system solves the problem of farm and livestock finane- ing. -75, warehouses. The following list of farm commod- oF } beans (including soy beans), rice, alfalfa, red ities has already been approved as security for loans; grain, cotton, wool, tobacco, broom corn, top clover seeds, hay, nuts, dried prunes, dried raisins, canned fruits and vegetables. Other com- modities may be added later, The intermediate credit system not only gives the farmer and livestock man long time loans at low rate of interest, but it takes another long step forward in the proper financing of agri-} culture. It raises from $10,000 to $25,000 the maximum mortgage loan which may be made by federal land banks, and amends the federal re- serve act by increasing the maximum term. for which federal reserve banks may rediscount agricultural and livestock paper. In brief, under the new intermediate credit system the risk of forced liquidation upon the part of the farmer and livestock man is prac- tically eliminated. As it now operates, the agri- cultural interests of the country are able to ob- tain money at as low a rate of interest as the mercantile and industrial interests of the coun- try, and able to obtain it for a longer term than those interests. William J's Stetson Had William Shakespeare been addressing his immortal remarks concerning William J. Bryan, doubtless he. would have said something else. “Age cannot wither nor custom stale his in- finite variety.” could in no sense be applied to William J. after knowing him for lo, these thir- ty years. “Infinite variety,” in the Bryan lexicon means settled monotony, William is a presidential guadrennial, ripening regularly every four years though he does not always come to blossom and never has reached the fruit stage. Since his change of residence to Florida it might be suggested that he is a political lemon, but for the horticultural fact that the pale citrus instead of waiting four years makes two seasons of every year. Senator Copeland of ‘ew York is surprised that Mr. Bryan is a pres iden candidate, but that is an emotion the doctor monopolizes. The rest of the country ex-| r ences a different emotion in contemplating the possibility The only cause for surprise is that the dry-} on principle Bryan should solicit an allia with the wet-on principle Copeland, but it is! not new to the wily Commoner to calculate on catching votes coming and going and the pon- derous strength of New York in the national convention, apparen’ would be equally wel: | come to iim whether it came to him wringing wet or dust dry. 3 Let us hope Senator Copeland lays no mis- taken unction to his soul through these over- tures coming from Bryan in Florida and Me- Adoo in California. No thought of a “strong vice presidential candidate” stirs either of these worthies, but the convention support of New York is worth every effort—or subterfuge. The inconsistency of such a political alliance is too trifling to worry over. Moreover there is no probability of its coming to pass. New York is for Governor Al Smith and Copeland is an unde- tachable cog in the Smith machine. Empire state Democrats will be inclined to resent the impu- tation whether it comes from Bryan or McAdoo, that Smith is impossible because he approved the repeal of the state enforcement law. Political Straws _ There are many who haye considerable faith in the direction the straws are going when a pol- itical windstorm comes up. These same wise per- sons are seeing considerable behind the reputed offer to former-Governor Lowden of Illinois, of the ambassadorship to the court of St. James as successor to Colonel George Harvey who resign- ed and is anxious to come home and take a hand in the approaching presidential campaign. 'now branch was broken off close to the trunk. Spots of a different texture ‘on the outside of the bark may show where sap or gum from the living tree oozed out and hardened in the air. Judging from the period of time geologists allow for the building of coal deposits this tree must have lived many millions of years ago. At that time this region is supposed to have been a low, wet, swampy area covered with a dense forest of trees unknown and inhabited with strange animals unlike any that live today. Federal Roads SHERIDAN—District 6-A of the state highway department, comprised mostly of Sheridan and Johnson counties, has 177.2 miles of road un- \ der the federal 7 per cent system at present, according to the Oct. 1 re- port of the department engineer for the district. Federal aid projects completed total 59.1 miles and forest projects 39 miles; federal aid projects under construction total 11.3 miles, and the roads being improved as state projects 27.5 miles, Federal aid project No. 143, 5.84 miles long from the Sheridan-John- son county line south, is listed as submitted to the bureau of public roads. One of the state projects under construction 1s a stretch of 11.2 miles from the Natrona county Une to the south fork of Powder river. The heavy rains of three weeks ago created a big mainten- ance problem on the roads in this district. | The Opinion of Other Newspapers Not Neglected ‘We hear a good deel about what is being done in textile centers of the South for the benefit of the chil- dren of operatives, and the effort there is deemed worth telling the world about it. It is doubtful if the best the cotton mill communities of that section can show will equal the provisions made in Fall River, New Bedford, Lowell, Lawrence, Man- chester and the rest of the New England factory communities for the benefit of the children of school age. And here it is a matter of course,—Fall River (Mass,) Herald. EL Ofer Hull Must Show Us That amazing chairman of the Democratic national committee. Cordell Hull, of Tennessee, has a new thought. It is this: The estab- lishment of European markets for the disposal of surplus foodstuffs is one of the principal needs of the American farmer. My; what a head a man must have to think of such a thing as that! But why does not Mr. Hull show us, instead of just telling us? There are a good many hungry people in Europe now, particularly in Ger- many.. Unquestionably they would be very glad to buy and eat the surplus food products of the United States. There are no restrictions on exportation and there is an extra- ordinary number of ships looking for cargoes. Mr. Hull may not be a capitalist, but supposedly he could get hold of a $1,000. For $1,000 he could buy ap- proximately 1,000 bushels of wheat jin the United States. Once landed in Germany he could sell that wheat for about 150,000,000,000 marks. Think of it! With an investment of / Mr. Coolidge is not ignorant of the great nat- ional game, although he may bear the outward signs and manner of innocense. It may be re- called that Mr. Lowden wax the most powerful of the losing candidates in the 1920 struggle for the presidential nomination. The fact that he was a loser cannot be charged to him but to cer- tain activities of his friends and supporters, even now, places him as rather willing ke the race again, . So the observers of the direction of the straws see in the alleged offer of the ambassadorship, a clever way of writing “finis” to the Lowden presidential aspirations, and removing from the field the candidate most to be feared in the Coolidge plans to be his own successor. If the post is accepted by Mr. Lowden it means that Mr. Coolidge is one step nearer the renl- ization of his ambition. If some one else is sent to London we can count on some added warmth to next year’s national convention. ‘The Tragedy of It In so far as prohibition is a politi Intermediate credit is granted to farmers by terms, longer than credit covered by ordina bank loans, but shorter than which farm mortgages are issued—hence the term “intermediate.” Loans obtained in this way are available for the purchase of seed, fertilizer and equipment and to carry on beef or dairy cattle production. A farmer who obtains a loan from an intermediate credit bank is relieved from the fear that he may have to dump his grain on the market at harvest time without regard to price conditions, and very probably at n tremendous sacrifice. A livestock or dairy man is assured that he will not be compelled to sell his cattle half finished in order to meet his paper.

After it was shown that many | hundreds of acres of beets and pota- |toes are still in the ground; that these crops are worth more than| [$100 per acre; that the harvest means much to the people of this} community; that the schools of Lov- ell, Powell and other p'aces have closed for the time being that the |boys might get into the fields and |help gather the crop, the Chamber | went on record as in favor of doing whatever could be done to assist the| growers to get their crops harvested. | It was also arranged with Supt. McNown to take the matter up with the larger boys of the school and this was done by Dr. Walker and J. L. Murphy, who told of the offer of the growers to pay 50 cents an hour to boys who could stick to the work, Twenty boys have responded. Turkey Rustlers WHEATLAND—Since many tur- keys on the Wheatland flats are val- ued higher than cows it is a natural consequence that the °23 rustler is changing his operations accordingly. Reports indicate that residents of the southwest parts of the Flats are up in arms over a series of depreda- tions committed over a long stretch of time on turkey flocks. A recent instance is that of Roy Bowen. Mr. Bowen was enroute from his home on Sibylee creek to Wheatland last week when he en- countered a sack lying in the middle of the road, On opening it he found in it three turkeys bearing his own brand. As he’ has missed quite a number from his flock, he is of the opinion that a truck load of birds were taken and that the three he found were lost in the get- away.

The government asked Henry Ford if he knew of any way the contract could be adjusted so as to please him. He didn’t answer. So the sale was made. If it hadn't been. then no doubt Pat Harrison would have pointed out that the govern ment’s action was a subtle scheme for breaking an agreement and cheating the country.
