Friday, Dec. 26, 1919. PITHY POINTERS ON STATE POLITICS Public Ownership Ideas and Co operative League Stores Growing Aa Railways Go Back to Their Owners. Kalamazoo has a consumers purchas ing agency and at end of the firstquar ter’s business declared a savings return of 13 per cent to the members. This co-operative movement cuts out the profits of the speculators and helps the people to invest their savings in liberty bonds and War Savings. The Pac. Co-operative League has established a wholesale house in Los Angeles, where branch co-operative stores of Arizona can acquire supplies. On another page is an interesting li - tie story of how financiers and com mercial organizatisns are at pres; nt controling prices and production, but are actually juggling wtth the destinies of the nation. Public ownership idea has captured North Dakota. It owns alevators, mills and banks; buys grain, makes flour and sells it in competion with profiteering corporations. It was a farmers’ idea, now the commercialists say that 80 per cent of the f armers of North Dakota have gone crazy like a fox. While Phoenix Chamber of Commerce is “plugging” for the ‘open shop,” Houston, Texas, has advanced to a mutual co-op erative plan and union officers and Chamber of Commerce com mittees meet twice a month, working closely together for mu tual and civic advancement. Thats the stuff which means en lightenment and progress. Organized workers are getting rid of the “Rees” and the sooner honest merchants and manufac turers discard and fire out the profiteers who have befouled their profession, the sooner will confi dence be restored. The omin ous silence as the masses is now finding expression in combina tion and co-operation with or ganized workers who are now leading the people and assisting them to organize politically and socially for mutual protection and benefit. —* « Information About Mines.
