Senator H. F. Baker of Michigan, a prominent official of the Gleaners, writes the Leader that the Michigan state senate, in committee of the whole January 31, approved the fol- lowing proposed constitutional amend- ment for submission to the voters of the state: ~ “The state may borrow not to ex- ceed $5,000,000 for the construction of terminal warehouses in the cities of the state and may operate the same for the reception, storage and sale of foodstuffs grown in the state and con- signed thereto by the producers there- of or by co-operative associations of * such producers, and pledges its credit or issue of bonds therefor on such’ terms as may be provided ‘by law.” Provision is made for submitting the amendment at an election this spring, instead of waiting for the gen- eral election in the fall of 1920. While Michigan shows that it is headed in the right direction with this amendment, North Dakota farmers will notice at once that no provision is made for a flour mill in connection. If it is intended for the state ware- house to handle wheat, it will do the farmers little good if the state mar- ket is at the mercy of the flour millers. By providing for a $250,000 terminal elevator with no flour mill in connec- tion with it the Montana legislature two years ago tried to make a joke . of public ownership. If Michigan provides enough money, as-it evidently plans to do, and will also provide a flour mill and will pass the necessary legislation after the people have approved the constitu- ‘tional amendment, the state will have something to boast of. If, on the other hand, the Michigan legislature tries to evade its respon- sibility after the people have approv- ed of the amendment, the plan that is now being attempted by the ma- jority in the Montana and South Da- kota legislatures, it will do the people little good to approve the amendment. Independent Editorial Opinion — Toledo (Ohlo) News-Bee Shows Grasp of Nonpartisan League Movement—Relief From Kept Press Twaddle D. COCHRAN, edltor of the Toledo (Ohio) News- Bee, publishes a column \ of running comment on current events on the front page of his paper. It is couched in blunt, short sentences and gets to the point in a character- istic way. In these days of “canned journalism” and editorial opinion cut from a pattern-that most big dailies seem to have been supplied with by beneficiaries of special privilege, Mr. Cochran’s “colyum” is a decided re- lief. "Here is his “colyum” in a recent issue: X § SIGNS OF THE TIMES LOYD GEORGE is playing an in~- teresting game with Ireland. Re- fuses to have the British government interfere with strikes there—or in Scotland either. Possibly wants to give the Sinn Fein republic a chance to show what it can do by way of gov- erning. Or thinks that so long as the Irish will fight each other, there s no sense in butting in. When -Carranza, Villa, Zapata and a few other Mexican leaders were fight- ing each other, it/ was suggested that Uncle Sam send’ an army over the border to pacify the whole lot of them. But it was thought best to let the - Mexicans pacify each other. Now the allies are gettmg wise and wiil withdraw their armies from Rus- sia—and let the Russians paclfy each other. Maybe Lloyd George is taking a tip from Wilson’s Mexican policy. If we had sent an army into Mexico. the various factions would have quit fig‘ht— ing each” other long enough to Jom forces as Mexicans and fight us as m- vaders. Had we joined with the allies in one gigantic invasion of Russia, Lenine and Trotzky would have had a good argument with which to rally prac- tically all Russia under the Bolshevik .banner. We kept out of Mexico. The allies should get out of Russia. Eng- land may let Ireland wrestle with her- . Self-determination is self awhile. growing popular £ % .North Dakota farmers’ move- ment keeps moving. ~ Michigan farmers now. want«—a state constltu-” tional amendment giving the state power to own and operate terminal warehouses. They want state-owned warehouses in which to store their surplus in time of plenty, so they won’t have to sell at low prices to the middleman who owns warehouses and can hold the surplus for a rise. Some restlessness in Kansas, too. Fifty per cent of the farms owned by people who don’t farm them. Say these nonfarming owners want to get all they can out of the land without making any effort to increase fertility of the soil. Groping about, perhaps, but getting somewhere gradually. A sort of rebellion of the farmers on the farms against the city farmers who sit at a roll-top desk and farm the farmers on the farm. * * * EEP your eye on the farmers and the Nonpartisan movement. The congress elected in 1920 may break up the old two-party game, with enough representatives of agriculture and labor to prevent control by either of the old parties. Just now the farmer is several jumps ahead of the industrial worker, who is still depending upon getting his representatives into congress as Re- publicans or Democrats. But the city worker is beginning to get his eyes open. By 1920 he may elect some con- - gressmen on a Labor ticket. © John Fitzpatrick is moving toward the front. He is now president of the Chicago Federation of Labor, which has a full city ticket in the Chicago field this spring. Fitz is younger and more aggressive and progressive than Gompers. Keep your eye on Fitz- patrick. * * * HE difference between the Repub- . lican and Democratic parties isn’t visible to the naked eye. | Habit is the glue that holds many voters to the rooster and the eagle. Not one voter in a hundred can tell you why he is a Democrat or Republican, or what the difference is between them. The Socialist party has had its chance for many years, but made little headway, It fell down hard during the war. “ The good things it stood for will be carried along by the farmer and labor movements. - Bolshevxsm won’t get anywhere in ' Order Them-—C. 0.
