"OLD STUFF."
The big cities of this country are
becoming veritable hot beds of com
munism, of .Bolshevism, of Sovietism.
The- theories, which tenie is now
trying to throw overboard in Russia,
are being transplanted in this country.
Our immigrants from Eastern Eu
rope and- their children have' largely
settled in the big cities.. There are
millions of them, and as a rule they
have no respect for American laws
or the teachings of Christianity. They
call the: Constitution of the United
States and the Ten Commandments
"Old Stuff"!' They are new engaged
in organizing a Workers' Party to
promote their abominable doctrines,
A REMARKABLE CHRISTMAS
EVENT.
A few years ago the Boers had the
British army penned up in Ladysmith.
The siege of. that city extended over
the holiday season. The attacking
forces succeeded in placing 32 cannon
on the heights above the town, and
kept up such an unceasing fire that
the British troops and civilians had
to live in bomb proof abetters.
On Christmas morning the Boers
opened up with a salvo of shells which
did not explode.. When the shells
were picked up it was found that
wooden plugs had been inserted in
stead of fuses, and inside the shells
were plum puddings instead of grape
and canister.
The spirit of Christmas went with
the Boers to South Africa and is
forging them into a great nation,
THE VOICE OF TRE IRISH PEOPLE.
(From the New York World.)
Whatever the disappointment be
cause Of the delay in acting on the
Irish peace treaty, the adjournment
of the Dail'Eireann over the holidays
was probably a wise decision. To
hold1 continuous sessions in the at
tempt to.force a final vote would have
amounted to a test of physical «m
"durance. So far the debate on the
treaty has-been a free and open dis
cussion, and evidently many members
desire to bp heard, Maneuver cal
culated to jihorten |the debate would
have been in violation of their rights.
It is clearly best that both sides should
have full opportunity to" air their
views without discrimination.
To De Valera the result of the con
test over adjournment to January 3
wad altogether unfavosable. The vote
of 77 to 44 may not be a safe indicar
tion of how the Dail Eireann will di
vide on the ultimate issue
at
tion. But it afforded the first, measure
of the relative strength of the two
factions. To have assumed the laader
shli£of tl)ie opposition to adjournment
which Mit&ael Collins advocated, ai\4
therif: to'be decisively 'iwaten
Valffa at a marked disadvantage.'Tbk
en together with the action of the
Clare County Council, De Valera's
constituency, which voted 17 to 5 in
favor of the peace treaty and in con
demnation of his attitude, it exposes
him as a leader doubly repudiated and
of diminishing authority.
By agreement the fight over the
peace treaty will not be carried to
the people in a speech making cam
paign by members of the Dail Eireann
during adjournment. But daring the
next ten days removed from the over
charged atmosphere of the Parliament,
they will have opportunity, by coming
Into close contact again with the peo
ple, te discover how fairly the Dail
"Eireann represents them in its hesi
tation over choosing peace or war
for Ireland.
PRESIDENT flfARKHAJI ASKS ItY.
EMPLOYEES TO DEFEND EX.

JUST CHARGES.
(Editorial from Chicago Daily NpWs,
"December 22,1921.
'President Markham of tbe Illinois
Central Railroad asks the employees
ctf that great system to investigate
and analyze charges against the ex
ecutives of transportation companies
which certain lawyers, statisticians
and officers who represent the organ
1
zed railroad men are in the habit of
-making before public bodies, in court
n»»t in various labor or radical jour
nalB. Mr. Markham suggests that the
employes of the Illinois Central either
verify or repudiate those charges—
charges of waste, financial juggling,
fraudulent practices, inefficiency and
the lute—so far as concerns the sys
tem ifor which they work and with
which they aire thoroughly familiar.
This is a fair and reasonable sug
gestion. In simple Justice to them
'i selves and the corporation that em
ploys them the railroad workers ought
to adopt the policy recommended by
Mr. Markham. It is well known that
many of the assertions made by real
or pretended spokesmen ot railroad
"i and other unions are reckless and un
reliable, if not deliberate lies. They
are not token seriously by anybody.
Bat they do harm, nevertheless, and
the silence of the railroafl executives
Is construed by the more extreme la
bor organs as confession of the truth
of the charges.
Mr. Markham has done a courag
eous thing by urging the employes
7
of the Illinois Central to confirm such
charges against the officials of that
"r road as they find to be true and brand
the others as false. He has set a good
example. Tbe employes of a railroad

SENATOR KEXYOJf STANDS FOR
GOVERNMENT BY MEN RATHER
THAN MONEY.
The following are extracts from a
report of. the recent great speech de
livered by Senator Kenyon in opposi
tion to the seating of Newberry of
Michigan: ^', "5Y
"The rule of the people "is gone''
Senator Kenyon said, if tbe senate
"justifies the expenditure ot hundreds
of thousands of dollars to secure a
seat here."
The record shows an expenditure
of "at least $263,000" Senator Kenyon
said, adding that "the plain Inference
from the testimony is that a much
larger sum was expended.
"Soclal Lobby Active.* Y"?
"If the record showed tbe ex
penditure. of a million dollars tor
Mr. Newberry." Senator Kenyon con
tinued, "I believe the senate still
would seat him. But no senator who
will study his case with an open
mind and forget that he is a member
of any political party ca4 do other
wise than arrive at the conclusion
that the statues of- Michiga'n were
flagrantly violated that such sums of
money were spent in the campaign as
to shock public conscience, and that
the election is tainted and fraudulent.
"The social lobby haB been active
in this case—and the social lobby is
effective. -No argument here is going
to change any voteB.
"I deny that the Newberry case is
any test of republicanism. I deny
that the seven million majority of
the republican party last fall was
a vindication of any such methods.
I deny that the day will ever come
when Lorlmerism and Stevensonlsm
and Newberryism will be a test ot
republicanism. The day ,has not ar
rived when a few gentlemen in the
senate oT the United States can de
termine what republicanism is. If
so, God save the republican party."
"A large part of the press of the
state was subsidized in the Newberry
campaign. At least $140,000 was spent
for publicity purposes. Two hundred
and one papers were secured.

WHAT WILL THEY DO FOB THE
FARMER!
(Chicago Journal)
president Harding says that the
former is the foundation ot American
industrial life, and that "agricultural
prosperity is absolutely essential to
the general prosperity of the country."
Both statements are true, but both
under present circumstances, require
pome further explanation. The farm
er doesn't object to being the founda
tion of industry, but he does kick at
being a mudsill. He thinks himself
entitled to at least as stable a foot
ing as he provides for the crafts and
businesses which depend upon him
and this he does not possess. Where
fore, turning to the second of Mr.
Harding's propositions, the farmer
asks what the president and his party
have done to bring that "absolutely
essential" prosperity to American
fields.
What the party and its white house
chief have not done for the farmer can
be shown very briefly. On Nov. 1, the
day before Mr. Harding was elected,
the following prices for cash grain
prevailed on the Chicago market:
Wheat
i___r
Per bushel
I&.1B to $2.19
Corn, No. 2 mixed .89 to .90
Oats, No. 2, white .56
On the same day, the following
prices were paid for live stock at the
stock yards:
Per 100 pounds
Steers, choice to prime
heavy $17.00 to $18.00
Hogs, bulk of sales 12.60 to 13.40
Lambs, good to choice—13.00 to 13.50
On March 4, 1921, the day ot Mr.
Harding's inauguration, the following
prices for cash grain and live stock
prevailed on the Chicago market:
Per bushel
Wheat $1.77 to $1.83
Corn, No. 2, mixed. .68%
Oats, No. 2, white .46%
Per 100 pounds.
Steers, choice to prime
heavy
r__$10.25
to $10.75
Hogs, bulk of sales 10.00 to 10.90
Lambs, good to choice—10.00 to 10.40
On Tuesday, Dec. 6, the day that Mr.
Harding uttered his kindly sentiments
toward the farmer, cash grain and
live stock sold on the Chicago mar
ket at the following prices:
Per bushel
W)efe*t— $1-11%
Corn, No. 2, mixed .48 to .49
Oats, No. 2, white—. .34 to .35
Per 100 pounds
Cattle, good to choice
heavy $ 8.00 to $10.00
'•".iVi. 'y
—TT.
V.W»"
to 7.10
Lambs, good to choice. 10.50 to 11.90
In other words, between Mr. Hard
ing's election and his address to con
gress the farmer's wheat has lost,
roughly, 50 per cent of its value, his
corn 45 per cent, his oats 38 per cent,
his beef cattle 45 per cent, his hogs
47 per cent, his lambs 12 per cent.
What are Mr. Harding and his party
going to do for the farmer?
He can not be helped by tariffs—
the emergency fake proves that. He
can be helped only by opening markets
for his produce. To do that, Europe
must be helped to rebuild, peace must
be quar&nteed by the United States as
well as by other powers, land arma
ments reduced, hungry peoples must
be made able to buy bread instead ot
bayonets.
In a word, to help the farmer, Mr.
Harding must do precisely the work
which the previous administration
sought to do through the league of
nations. Isn't it almost time for Mr.
Harding's substitute "association of
nations", to get down to business?
FARMERS INTERESTED IN RAIL
ROAD INQUIRY BEFORE THE
INTERSTATE COMMERCE
COMMISSION. Yl
In testifying before the Interstate
Commerce Commission in its in
quiry concerning the general rail
road situation, and, among other
things, the possibility of reviving
traffic by a reduction in freight rates,
Mr. T. C. Powell, Vice-President of
the Brie Railroad, representing the
Trunk Lines, said in part:
At no time in recent history has tbe
commercial depression been so wide
spread and so universal throughout
the world. Heretofore business de
pression, panics and disturbances
have, from the standpoint of interna
tional trade, been localized and re
stricted in their effects. If the United
States could stand by itself, we would
be in a prosperous condition.
Railroad traffic officials can find no
justification for the thought that rail
road rates, as they stand today, are
adversely affecting business or that a
reduction in said rates would stimu
late or revive business. Some other
remedy must be found.
Mr. Powell then pointed out how
the European situation has affected
this country in resfrect to certain
principal commodities, as follows:
Corn
The corn crop of the United States
has always been one of the largest, it
not the largest, farm cropf The rec
ord yield was in 1920, the Govern
ment figures being 3,232,000,000 bush
els. The crop for 1921 is estimated
at 3,163,000,000 bushels, or somewhat
less than in 1920 and only slightly
above the average for the preceding
five years. .'"••• /j
It must be remembered that only
about 17 percent of the born crop
moves outside of the country in which
it'is produced, so that even the,record
crop of 1990 did not produce on the
normal average as uchjii 600 nlllion
tassels for transportation outside the
county In which it was raised.
The fact that the 1081 crop
does net equal the ItSO crop
woald 'therefore give rise to the
expectation that the prlceof corn
weuli to maintained and would
yield satisfactory„ rejtara to the
Tlie price ef cera, as well
-ether cMnaoilties, Is dependent
upon active demand for the sur
plus.
Mr. Powell cited the following facts
as among those which had affected
the demand for surplus corn:
1* The disappearance of de*
•and for corn In Europe except
in Russia, where only about 90
million bushels, which Is 7*10
of one per cent of the United
States crop, can be handled by
that country's transportation
system.
2.-The cultivation of corn south
of the Ohio River and east of
the Mississippi has displaced the
importation of corn into those
sections.
3. The reduction in the use of
corn for distilling purposes.. .,
Wheat
The record yield was in 1915. The
production in 1921 is less than three
quarters ot the 1915 record crpp, and
somewhat less than in 1920.
Even prior to the war tbe consump
tion of wheat in the United States had
almost caught up with the production,
and it was then predicted that in a
few years no United States wheat
would be exported. Many of the ele
vators at the Seaboard were empty
and not in use.
Under normal conditions this re
duction fn the United States produc
tion should have resulted in main
taining the price of wheat in the
United States. But the demand which
might have been expected from this
set of facts was more than off-set by
the fact that the world production ef
wheat in 1921 was 173 millions of
bushels largvr than In 1929.
Decline of Immigration Reduces
Expected Demand
It seems clear that relief from low
prices of corn and wheat cannot be
expected from foreign demand. With
in the United States, relief must be
looked for upon the theory of in
creased consumption, and we must
take into account that the increase iu
population in the United States be*
tween 1910 and 1920 fell below expects*
Hons, whereas the maximum produc
tion of corn and wheat occurred with
in that decade.
Instead of millions of ftnmigrants
entering this country annually, the
number has been very substantially
reduced because ot the war and,
even since the war, the number has
been smaller than in previous nor
mal years. The steerage rate charged
by steamship companies is said to be
the highest known, i. e., (125.
Coal
Traffic officials have made numer
ous reductions in the rates author
ised under Ex Parte 74 (the freight
rate reduction of August 26, 1920),
but nevertheless the railroad returns
for November, so far as reported, are
disappointing. The mild weather has
reduced the demand for coal and the
production of bituminous coal thus
far in 1921 is more than 100 million
tons less than in the same period in
1920.
1
No reasonable reduction in the
freight rates- will increase the ex*
portatlon of c#aL
Passenger Traffic
It is the belief of the traffic execu
tives that the general volume of travel
has not been affected so .much by nil.
road fares as by the business condi
tions of the country which have ren
dered unnecessary the volume of trav
el which normally takes place under
prosperous conditions.
Again, the difference between the
number of immigrants now traveling,
and the number before the war, means
a difference in revfenue of many mil
lions.
The long distance' telephone in
many cases Obviates railroad trips
that only a short time ago would
have been necessary.
Effect of Rates on they«tuae «f
•. 'Traffic
IthPtlie belief ot the Sn-rlers that,
with the exception of isolated cases,
which we believe have now been recti
fied, the new scale of rates did not
adversely affect the business of the
country. It is a Matter of record that
the volume of business in the country
commenced to recede prior to Septem
ber 1,1920 (before the new rates went
into effect), and the recession was net
limited to the United States.
The future prospects for traffic
depend largely upon world conditions.
A POOR RETURN.
(Cedar Rapids Gazette)
The county treasurer estimates
that the thirteen thousand automo
biles in Linn county will prodtite about
two hundred thousand dollars in rev
enue from license feeB collected at the
time of registration.
Automobile taxes commonly are
supposed to be utilized for the main
tenance of roads used by those ve
hicles. That being the case, Linn
county can not say that it receives
even a fair return on its money.
Two hundred thousand dollars a year
in license fees might bf turned to
tremendous advantage were all or
half of 11 lued in the county wherein
it is collected.
While we squabble in Iowa about
the kind of improvement to make on
rural highways and tbe method of
taxation to pay for whatever im
provement finally is made, Illinois lets
contracts for the, pavement of hun
dreds of miles of highway without a
direct levy against abutting property
holders. Payment is made from state
and federal funds. And, still more
disconcerting, registration fees on au
tomobiles in Illinois are materially
lower than in Iowa.
We must have a lot to learn. And
there is no reason why the Mississippi
river should prevent us from learning
in Iowa what they learned before
us ix| Illinois.

Well Called "China's Sorrow."
Tbe Hwang Ho or Yellow river,
Chinese records show, once flowed
through a rich fertile valley, Its tribu
tary hills well wooded. Today It Is a
broad moving quicksand with a small
amount of water most of the year, but
when the floods come the wlioie face
of the landscape may be changed. In
I486 this river, which is known as
"China's Sorrow." flooded some 20,000
square miles of the most densely popi*

villages and towns, and drowned 2,
000,000 people.
"To Cross the Rubicon."
The Rubicon is the ancient name oi
a stream flowing irto the Adriatic
which formed the boundary between
Cisalpine Gaul and Italy proper. The
phrase "to cross the Itubicon" has
come to mean to tafce an Irrevocable
step, from the familiar story of Its
passage by Caesar, who, by crossing
it In 49 B. C., virtually declared war
against the republic. The modern
Lnso, called by the peasants on Its
banks II Rubicone. has claims to be
ing the ancient Rubicon, but argu
ments preponderate in favor of the
Fiumtcinn.

IOWA CORN TO B? PLANTED IN
"I NEAR HAST. Nhr*
Iowa's champion seed corn is to be
used in planting the fields ot far-off
Armenia and the Bible l$nds to bring
an end to the famine conditions ex
isting in those countries today.
Announcement of plans Tor shipping
a number of carloads of Iowa seed
corn .to t^e ^-rnepian famine tone for
spring" planting was nuade here today
by Governor N E- Kendall, sUte
ciiad^Qan ot the Near Bast Relief
movement.
"If we can get our good old Iowa
•corn
planted (in the soil of those
countries we will have gone along way
toward ending the famine conditions
which are claiming thousands of lives
every week over there at the present
time," Governor Kendall said.
The fanners and farm organisa
tions of every county in the state
are to be asked immediately to cooper
ate in preparations for a seed corn
campaign, to be Inaugurated the first
of tbe year by the Near East Relief
workers. Gifts of seed corn, large
or small, are to be sought from all
fanners in tbe state. The corn is to
be delivered to the nearest elevator,
marked as seed corn, and It will be
hauled from there to the seaboard for
shipment, free ot charge, through a
special arrangement made with tbe
railroads.
Workers are to continue their gift
corn campaign throughout the state,
for donations of corn which will be
used for food in the famine zones.

SPECIAL REDUCED RATES TO FED
ERATION CONTENTION.
Secretary Cunningham has received
offf- ul notice from the Western Pas
S'.r ^er Association that a special ono
one-half fare rate would be grant
ed to all visitors and delegates at
tending the Iowa Fbrm Bureau Fed
eration convention In Des MoineB, Jan
uary 10-11. This reduction will apply
to all railroads leading to Des Moines.
The plan provides for the payment of
full fare on the going trip. On the
presentation of a certificate prop
erly signed by Secretary Cunningham
return tickets, jprer the fame route,
may be purchased for half price. Read
carefully the following direction!
which must be complied with in .order
to secure the favor:
1. Tickets at the normal otie-wav
tariff rate for the going journey may
be bought January 6-11 inclusive, good
for return not later than January 14,
1922.
2. Be sure when purchasing going
ticket to ask the agent for a certifi
cate. Do not make the mistake of
asking for a receipt. However, it it
Is impossible to get a certificate, from
the local agent, a receipt will be sat
isfactory and should be secured when
the ticket is purchased. See that your
ticket reads to the point where the
convention is to be held and no other.
See that your certificate is stamped
with the same date as your ticket.
Sign your name in ink to the certifi
cate or receipt. Show this to the
ticket agent.
