W E have heard much through the last two years about the farm bloc. When this movement began most people looked upon it as a political curiosity. But it drew to its support so many con scientious and earnest men that the nation began to realize that there was something elemeptal in the idea that must demand serious national consideration. e Non-Partisan League. was a forerunner of ;1s protest. .It advocated a right program for its nembers. But it could prosper only in a state like North Dakota where the larger majoi'ity of the peo ple are engaged in' just one business-grain growing. It could not spread. We can't have a government of grain-growers. Any one vocation government is oligarchy. There is where this right protest took on. impossible political form. The Populist party back in the 80's and early 90's i that flowered in Kansas was. the beginning of the present farm bloc movement. j Cities live on the soil. The big city lives on the little city, and the little city lives upon the farm. Science has come along with the automobile, the telephone and a hundred things that multiply cffici ency, speed up industry with economy but always I with the economy that costs. We have been learning how to live bettet. The lesson has gone out to the open acres. Fifty years ago few farm boys had ever 'tasted iee cream. The soda fountain today is a vil . lage need, and the movie a community demand. Min siesota eats Florida fruit. There are a thousand legal, "economic, marketinig, industrial problems today 'where fifty years ago there was one. In consequence the cost of administering all government, township, - town, county, state and nation, has mounted with i the multiplication of the oroblems that grew out of MAY TRY DRY LAW IIII1JlIiiiili hlii lll VIOLATORS IN TWO COURTS Washington, Dec. 11.-Dry law violators can ', be prosecuted in both ? state and federal courts for the same -, offense, the United States supreme G il court ruled today. They cannot escape dual prosecution by resorting to the twice in jeopardy plea. This decision will go a long way to ward strengthening enforcement of to the federal prohibition laws, in the opinion of government officials. In plea the face of this decision, it will not be fror possible for violators to escape with. - nominal fines at the hands of friendly state courts. Such fines or other light Fil punishment now. canont estop the in- us f position of maximum penalties in the federal courts. The decision, handed dlown by Chief Justice Taft, was ini a test case ap- - a pealed by the gover-nment from the M a c decision of the United States district court of the western disti-ict of Wash -_ ington state the district court be Where. to What to(C How MI GIFTa - Motor Coat Silk PaFama feerLthe01 Justice T aftws nuats aseap pealedby ilk gosermny ro h cour of hir eelry itito ah ingokrngeCsats AutoeRobes Bel hatctoeC Luggagma hose Cnt Durssindows , Motor Gloves Silf Hosiery Soking Plauts Capsxad Vests Dil JArmbandle 14NSi Shireet Hos o t heR ueofsp How to Get Our Problems Sglved our ever increasingly intricate life. All these make taxes. In a normal farming community in Nebraska the tax rate on tilled land_ has gone from $93 to $494 in just six years. The farmer says he can't stand the gaff. The tax cost is exceeding the profit on pro duction, The same complaint comes from the city banker and manufacturer. The farmer has no monopoly on tax complaints. Did you ever hear of a popular tax? It doesn't cost anything to live in a wilderness. We want all things that progress has brought us. We don't wantto part with the soda fountain or the telephone. We can't give up the auto or the uni versity extension. Very well then, what are we going to do? New England had a great idea in the town meet ing. Philadelphia with her nearly two millions of people, is now talking the town meeting idea. Out in the corn belt of the middle west the town meet ing is again taking hold. And when, in a town of only 300 people surprise was expressed because over 200 were in attendance, the answer came, "We have to go to the town nieting. It's the only way we can ever solve our problem." That's the only way we ever can. Public ownership of public utilities and a scientific marketing system of the products of the land will both save our civilization and supply its cost. The only way we arc ever going to get there is to get together, talk it ov'er and thresh it out. Find out what we can do, what' we want to do, and then send to our state legislatures and to our Congress not a lot of half-baked country lawyers but practical pro ducers-mei who know wl:at we 'ant done and who will do it. e a Kodak! e have Eastman Kodaks from $2.00 17.00.
