When Wheeler’s own implements of warfare are used against him, he shows not only the yel- low streak but also the white feather. The first thing he could think of when he was notitfied of his indictment by the Montana grand jury, was that it was brought about by Harry Daugherty. So he awoke the echoes of the wild- i | erness with a howl of rage, likened unto the com- plaint of a hound dog that had been rapped on the slats with a barrel stave. He was hasty in his conclusions, and wholly wrong in his premises. The department of jus- tice was not concerned in the matter at all. It was the post office department that worked up the case, discovered the evidence and laid it be- fore the grand jury. If a United States senator accepts ten thousand dollars or any other sum of money, for influencing the granting of an oil land lease, the upright people of Montana, want to know about it and put a stop to it. They want no such grafting on the part of their senators or anyone else. That's the difference between the people of Montana and Senator Wheeler. Wheeler will be a mighty lucky chap if he is not called to account for many other actions touching his career of the last six or seven years. A fellow of his type can only get away with high- handed stuff for a limited time. He was com- pelled to accept personal chastisement on sev- eral occasions at the hands of exasperated citi- zens of Helena and Butte during his term of dis- trict attorney. The best element of the citizen- ship of Montana has no sympathy with Wheeler. If he has any popularity in that state at all, it is with the element that ought to be in the Deer Lodge institution for restraint, or adorn. ing the channel spans of certain bridges span- ning the larger streams: The Farmer and the Free List The present tariff law has not imposed undue burdens upon the American farmer but has pro- tected his markets. So far as there was any dis crimination at all, effort was made to favor the farmer by placing on the free list the commod- ities he buys, as distinguished from commodities bought by the people of the country in general. Nevertheless, there has been persistent mis- representation on this subject. For instance, the Washington correspondent of th® London Times informs the readers of that great British daily that the Democrats in the United States are go- ing to make an issue of the tariff in the coming rampaign by proposing reduction of tariff rates virtually all articles purchased or consum- ed by the farmer.” Here are some of the things purchased by farmers as distinguished from the rest of the people and the rates of duty imposed thereon: Agricultural implements—plows, tooth or disk harrows, headers, harvesters, reapers, agricul tural drills and planters, mowers, horse rakes, cultivators, threshing machines, cotton gins, ma chinery for use in the manufacture of sugar, wagons and carts, cream separators not valued at more than h, and “all other agricul- tural implements of any kind or description, not specifically provided for, whether in whole or in parts, including repair parts—now on the free list. How much will the Democrats reduce that tariff rate? Arsenic, used in insect sprays—now on the free list. How much will the Democrats reduce that tariff rate? Binding twine—now on the free lst. How much will the Democrats reduce that tariff rate? Bones used for fertilizere—free. Potash, used for fertil free, Muriate of potash, sodium nitrate, potassium nitr: calcium nitrate, used for fertilizers—free. Guano, manures, and all other substances used chiefly for fertilizers free. How much will the Democrats reduce the tariff rates on those commodities? In fact, now, what are the articles referred to by Democratic leaders as “purchased or con sumed by the farmers” on which it is proposed to reduce the tariff for the benefit of the farm er in particular on t Advantages in Superpower Eleven electric companies serving 7,000,000 people in six eastern and southern states have formed a co-operative superpower group for se-| curing coal supplies and reducing overhead ex pensen. 000,000 and produce 2,000,000 horsepower for in trial and domestic use in the heart of the 1 regions, They have decided to unite in se curing coal sypplies nearer to the mines and thus ultimately reduce the price at which power ean be sold. It is expected that within a year the electric power groups of Niagara Falls, the New Eng- land and southern auperpower systems will all be linked with the Chicago district. This is going to improve the service and stabilize the supply of electric current and transmission resources | affecting service to 7,250,000 consumers. There will not only be more economical con- sumption of coal but thousands of coal mines and a yaat number of industries including the Pittsburgh steel district will be able to pur- chase cheaper operating power. Six of the largest power plants will be located over coal beds where they are assured from fifty to seventy-five years fuel supply. Destruction of Forests Persistent efforts have been made for many years to impress upon the general public the importance of fire prevention, and it is hoped that something has been gained. The records show, however, that forest fires are costing mil- lions of dollars a year and are depleting the forests which have already been denuded quite to the danger point. We hear a good deal about “forest planting,” but it helps only a very little. About 36,000 acres are planted annually with trees in the national forests, but all the forest lands owned by the government, even under intensive management, could produce not more than one-fifth of the timber we require. One modern-sized forest fire will easily wipe out more acres of timber than we plant annually, and, on an average, we have in this country 33,500 forest fires every year. Such fires are the greatest cause of forest destruction. Customer Ownership “Directly violating the law of the land.” says the Manufacturers Record, “which forbids the granting of the water power rights of anyone beyond fifty years, the house of representatives yotes to give Mr. Ford the control of Muscle Shoals for one hundred years. Under no con- sideration should this great power be granted for one hundred years to Mr. Ford or to any one else; under no consideration should congress violate our own law on the subject, and under no consideration should this property be leased except on a basis somewhat com: its value.” The ideal way to operate Muscle Shoals would be through a public utility corporation whose stocks and bonds were offered to the people of this nation and particularly to the people of the territory served. Thus, “customers ownership” Would establish a community interest and as- sure that the Muscle Shoals project would fur- jnish power at a reasonable cost allowing for a fair profit. Our most successful utilities today are oper- ated on this basis and represent true public ownership of a democratic character. The burden of protecting tha public interest in the leasing of this property now rests with the senate. Let it consider the matter thoroughly. Japanization of Hawaii That Japan has persistently violated the “Gen- tlemen’s Agreement” for the restriction of Jap- anese immigration and that Hawaii is about to be Japanized, were assertions made by Senator Shortridge of California in an extended dis- cussion of the immigration bill. On this phase of the subject, in part, Senator Shortridge said: “That agreement never contemplated that there should be brought into this country hun- dreds of thousands of Japanese women, known as picture brides. They came in thousands. The young and valiant Japanese laborer, in San Joa- quin county, California, yearning to perpetuate himself, sought a fair maiden in Japan under the cherry blossoms. He did not go there. Cupid never drew him across the Pacific to woo her in the mcunlight. Far from it. He was cultivating aspargus or potatoes in the fertile fields of what we term “The Delta.” But he sent her the photo- graph of his classic features, and received in return photographs from the fair maidens from Japan, and thus, avoiding the distress or the jexpense of travel, what heaven had put apart man joined together; for the maidens came in | their kimonos across the peaceful Pacific, land- | ed on the wharf of San Francisco, were there j met, greeted, and embraced by their future hus. bands. “They are n very fertile and very prolific peo- ple, indeed, the birth rate being about three to four times what it is in the average American | household. If this rapid birth increase goes on! yonder in Hawaii, it has been carefully esti-| mated by 1940 the Japanese native bern in Ha.-| waii will control in the voting population of those islands. I am standing here along with other men, asking the senate and my friends from the state of Pennsylvania not to Japanize Cal- ifornia ,even as the paradise of the Pacific, the Hawaiian Islands, have been Japanized. What has occurred in Hawaii will occur in California due to the coming of brides, due to the birth rate there, due tp the smuggling in, and due to the quota allowance which it is purposed to engraft into law through the senate committee bill. “After a great deal of opposition and protest, the Japanese government was persuaded to check | this picture-bride proceas, But many thousands were here. The sending of them was contrary to! the understanding entered into, because, arriv- | ing here and marrying, they at once became com- | mon laborers in the fields, | “The Japanese stopped that, however, then such is the ingenuity of man, such the cleverness | of some people they hit upon another plan by| which they could bring in their women and that plan was this, is thit today; the Japanese here | returns to Japan. He is aided and encouraged to do so for the purpose of there getting a wife. )At first their stay there was limited to thirty days, in which time it was supposed they could find, woo, and win a bride. The time was ex- tended to 90 days, so that now hundreds of thou- | rands of them who are here return to Japan, | take unto themselves wives and then under a| wrong interpretation of this understanding, re-| turn to America with their wives, and let nat- ure take her course, “Under the guise of students hundreds and thousands of Japanese have come into California and other states along the Pacific coast nofe, as students—but there being no adequate law governing their status, they turn at once into} common laborers in our fields. | Under the guise of merchants they come, and arriving as such—on paper—immediately enter into the industrial fi®ds of Inbor. | “The upshot of the matter was, and ts that whereas this agreement contemplated a falling || 4 Patt of showroom 18x60 | off of population it has steadily increased.” feet in best location in sity.

If one class does not repay at the end of its season, as agreed, the next in turn must go short, as the bank's only source of supply is the re- Payment of its advances. The bank does not manufacture credit in the sense of creating it, though it doos, in the sense of giv- ing a currency to the credit it buys.
