Good Cheer for the Middle West.
Significant of the improved situation on the
farm of Nebraska is the fact that the need for
ready money with which to meet "settlement
day," at March 1 is knowii in the country, did
not bring an avalanche of live stock or other
product to market. The idea of orderly market
ing bat taken hold and a more even distribution
of shipments may be counted on to stabilize
prices at least to the extent of discouraging wide
fluctuations.
Farmers do not customarily look to J. Ogden
Armour for guidance, but there may be some
profit in examining his recent statement on the
condition of trade. His claim that corn is worth
$1 a bushel when fed to hogs is undoubtedly
true in some cases. The returns, however, vary
with each farmer, depending for example on
whether the hogs are fed in conjunction with
cattle. It is safe to say that most pork raisers
are selling their corn on the hoof for more than
60 cents a bushel, and many at 75 cents, while
some make more.
Cattle feeders are beginning to get a profit.
The market has been rising, and salesmen on
the Omaha Live Stock exchange estimate corn
fed in this way is fetching from 60 to 75 cents
per bushel. ( Pure bred cattle, for a time without
a market, are now in demand for breeding pur
poses. The confidence thus roused is being reflected
even in such matters as land values. During the
year in which all agricultural prices dropped so
violently, some, especially those who had bought
their acres at high prices, even doubted the soil
itself. The conviction is being revived now that
this fertile section is such a good country that
the land still is going to hold a high value.
The mortgage situation provides proof of this
feeling. The talk among loan agencies is that
we are soon to see a borrowers' market. Inter
est rates may take a fall. The farmers have once
more shown themselves to be the most solid and
dependable class. Their obligations are being
met, with proper help, from the business and
financial interests. There are fewer payments
past due to the Federal Land bank of the Omaha
district now than last year. Out of $60,000,000
in loans, only $30,000 is now overdue, and
most of that will be cleaned tip in a short time.
The middle west has come back so quickly
that a good many people, especially in the east,
can't believe it possible. Mr. Armour, in stating
that there may be price reactions, and that some
prices may be pushed too high, has given proper
warning against any resumption of the wild
speculation that marked the period of inflation.
Clarify This Ordinance!
It avails nothing for city and Nebraska Power
company officials to "interpret" the new electric
rate ordinance so as to remove the obnoxious
features of its ambiguous phrases. Such inter
pretations may tend to prove the good faith of
those who drew and passed the ordinance, but
they bind no one. Interpretations are dangerous.
The actual language of the ordinance is the im
portant factor. That is what some court may
base a ruling on five or ten or twenty years
; from now.
As the ordinance stands, its wording is
curiously Involved and double-edged. By any
literal understanding of English, it forbids the
city commission which passed it ever from chang
ing it except upon petition of the Nebraska
Power company. By . any ordinary use of
-words, it levies prohibitive penalties upon
patrons of ' the Nebraska Power company
who have any auxiliary . connection. The
city's lawyers and the company's experts
contend that this language does not mean what
it siys, but that it means something else. That
may be. If that is so, no one should object if
the city commission changes the language to say
what everybody says it means anyway.
This should be done, promptly and definitely.
Omaha's experience in giving away public utility
franchises by negligence and carelessness should
inot by given the slightest chance for repetition.
Woman's Right to Vote.
Any question as to the validity of the nine
teenth amendment to the Constitution of the
United States, and the legislation enacted there
tender, was removed by the supreme court Mon
day. Especially convincing is the dismissal of
the suit brought by Charles S. Fairchild of New
York, who sought through the courts of the Dis
trict of Columbia, to compel the withdrawal of
the proclamation of ratification. Justice Bran
ideis told him flatly he had no standing in court
.The other challenge came from Maryland, where
the federal constitution was found to conflict
with the state constitution, which limits the suf
frage to men. The court holds that the federal
constitution "transcends any limitations sought
to b imposed by the people of a state." This
pnds a struggle of almost three-quarters of a
Bjentury with full yictory for the women, No

lrglity of her full and complete cuercite of all

Rod Probe Should Be Thorough.
Dicloure contained in Engineer Johnnou'
report tukUin the need for in inquiry Into the
road situation in Nebrulu, Allegations therein
are not to be accepted at conclusive proof, but at
indicating that something is wrong. Sweeping
auertiotii of incompetence and corrupt practice
hive been made against the state road builder,
and these now retaliate with timilar charge
giimt the county authorities. Only by a thor
ough ifting of these chirgei, will full develop,
ment of all the facts, and the complete exposure
.f any wrong doing, will the end of justice be
met. The people are providing liberally for a
gret project of road improvement. Scandal ha
tainted it progres. Thi i not to be removed
by charge er countercharge, but only by in
inquiry that will go to the very bottom, and leave
nothing to conjecture is to what took place. The
road probe should be thorough.
Power to Fix Rail Rates Located.
The upreme court has definitely decided the
issue between state and federal government at
to the power to fix railroad rate for service of
all kinds. The rule is laid down in these words:
Congrest in its control of it interstate
commerce system is seeking in the transporta
tion act to make the system adequate to the
needs of the country by securing for it a rea
sonable compensatory return for all the work
it does. The states are seeking to use that
same system for intrastate traffic. That entails
large duties and expenditure on the interstate
commerce system, which may burden it unless
compensation is received for the intrastate
business reasonably proportionate to that for
the interstate business. Congress as the
dominant controller of interstate commerce,
may therefore, restrain undue limitation of the
earning power of the interstate commerce sys
tem in doing state work. It can impose any
reasonable condition on a state's use of inter
state carriers for intrastate commerce it deems
necessary or desirable. This is because of the
supremacy of the national power in this field.
Whether this is to be regarded in terms of
fnality, or whether by another approach the
question may be raised again, the decision at
present puts an end to the existing dispute as
to the power to fix rates. Consideration has
turned for several years on the point, whether
state or nation has control, and now the supreme
court clearly vests that control in the nation.
Intrastate commerce may be dealt with by the
states, as heretofore, but not to the detriment
of the interstate carrier. Judge Sanborn laid
down this rule in the Minnesota case years
ago, and it has steadily grown in importance,
until now it is adopted by the federal courts as
the law of the land.
State rights are thus subordinated to national
authority. In none of its peculiar functions is
the state interfered with, but it is forbidden to
assume to affect by its own act the interest of
all the rest of the land. Congress passes general
laws, and these, so far as they apply to state af
fairs, are paramount to state legislation. For
the good of all it is hoped the decision of the
court may be allowed to stand until experience
shows whether it is to be turned Over to the
enactment of a law that will clothe the states
with the power now denied them. .
Medical Care in the Country.
The group of lively towns in Scottsbluff
county are uniting in a campaign to finance the
establishment of the Western Nebraska Meth
odist hospital. Pledges of $75,000 already have
been assured, and it is heartening to see the
friendly way other communities in the valley
are backing this project which would add so
much to the prestige of the city of Scottsbluff,
where it is to be located. So often needed im
provements have been lost through the disin
clination of one community to aid another.
The Mitchell Enterprise, urging its readers to
make contributions, calls attention to the fact
that the carrying out of the plan will provide
ample capacity for the sick of forty or more
western towns and that service of the hospital
can be reached within an hour from the homes
of fully 30,000 people who are now living within
a radius of thirty miles of Scottsbluff.
There must be more hospitals at strategic
positions about the middle west. It is said that
the difficulty of supplying properly qualified
medical practitioners to the rural regions is be
coming a grave problem. Modern medicine can
not be conducted at its proper level out of touch
with the laboratory and the hospital. Doctors
do not like to serve without these aids, antf the
country people are entitled to the best of treat
ment.
The New York state grange has recently
dealt with this question by endorsing a proposi
tion that each country community 'now without
a physician (and there are said to be many such
in the east), should erect a home and a small
hospital for the accommodation of one. The
Rockefeller Foundation stands ready to help by
sending a physician to any community that pro
vides a home for him.

About the Federal Reserve
Bast of Opposition and Some
Truth a to System' Work,
(From the Boston Tnnacript)
Much of the rriicim of the Federal Krtrrve
nvatriu originated in the unfortunate (act that Hie
Federal Kcrve board repeatedly advised agaiiut
"pyramiding" by buiur men and speculator
during the period of inflation in 1IVJ0, and
when the crh came the natural inference was
that the Federal Keaerve w responsible, and
that this was what it deirrd. Ngiwiihktanding
that there are few organization about which
more exact tatitticl facts ran be Kithrred on
abort notice, many of the attack of I tie critic of
the Federal Krerve have apparently been in
blifful ignorance of the fundamental plan under
which the systemt operate, and the mis
rtatemeut h4ve enjoyed a wide circulation be
fre the dcnul rould be made. The annual re
port of the Federal Reserve board, which ha
v - i i . . . ...... . I
juil prrn iviru, auppura a inuni emuum vi
detail concerning the oreration of the ytem
which hv itself answer it critics.
The recent attack against the Federal Re
serve board have been directed more on the basis
of extravagance than on the earlier grounds of
willful restriction of credit. It is singular how
the facts of the situation compare with the state
mrntt of it opponents. At all earnings of the
Federal Reserve banks above dividend are paid
as a franchise tax to the treasury, thi account
for the public interest in the economical opera
tion of the bank. Last year, for instance, the
United States treasury received Sj9,974.'W trom
the Federal banks, which compares with only
56.120.0lK) paid in dividends to the banks which
are member ot the system and wnicn are oniy
entitled to bold stock in their district reserve
bank. The public has a direct interest in the
economical operation of each of these banks and
has a right to insiM that it officers shall be a
frugal in their administration of its affair as if
it were a private bank. Thi account for the
interest of congress in the salaries of its officer
tnd the expenditures the reserve banks are mak
ing for new quarters.
In the current report of the board a com
parison is made between the average salaries
paid to reserve bank officials in Federal Reserve
cities. In only one instance were the salaries of
the federal banks higher than in the national
banks; in Richmond the yearly average was
$6,6 and $6,473, respectively. For the twelve
hanks under companion the average for reserve
bank officials was $7,743, against $13,092 for
private bankers. There is not much to choose
between thi relative responsibilities of both
classes of bankers. In answer to the charge that
$26,000,000 was to be expended for a building
for the 1-ederal Reserve bank of New York ap
pears the official estimate in the report that the
building will cost $19,976,368. From savings that
have already been achieved due to the reduction
in buildings costs, a former member of the re
serve board has recently been quoted as saying
that possibly the cost may be cut to less than
$13,000,000. Comparing the total expense of
operation of the twelve Federal Reserve banks
and the Bank of France, Senator Carter Glass re
cently showed that although the Federal Reserve
handled about seven times as much business as
the Bank of France in 1920, the expenditures of
the two institutions were about equal, further
more, instead of the $50,000 salary that some be
lieve Governor Harding of the federal Keserve
board receives, judging by recent comment in
congress, his salary appears as $12,000.
Antagonism against the reserve system from
the agricultural districts originated several
months ago on the assumption that the banks
were curtailing credit available for farmers. This
objection has long since been removed by the
evidence of the weekly reports of the system,
which showed that during the time the hysteria
was greatest and farm prices dropping most
rapidly, the Federal Keserve system increased
its accommodations to member banks by $472,-
660,060. The present report answers the criticism
that interest rates charged by memoer banks
were unduly high by showing that 69 per cent of
the loans made last year that were rediscounted
were done at rates of 6 per cent or under, and
92 per cent at 7 per cent or under. No loans were
made at a rate higher than 12 per cent. In a
year when the best grade of commercial paper
sold at times on an 8 per cent basis, the charge
that member banks were forced to quote
usurious rates of interest to their borrowers is
not imoressive.
In this connection the question naturally
arises whether there is not some relation between
the fact that in the leading agricultural states of
the west and in the southern states, with the ex
ception of Virginia and Alabama, over 75 per
cent of the banks are not members ot the fed
eral Reserve system and that these districts were
most severely distressed durine the deflationary
period. Certainly none will argue that most of
the criticism of the federal Keserve system nas
emanated from precisely these states. The in
ference obviously is that the southern and west
ern states which had relatively tew banks 111 the
system were not taking advantage of the
orivileees accorded them to secure the benefits
the system has to offer, and that in some meas
ure they had themselves to blame tor the dim
culty with which the storm was weathered. At
any rate it is noteworthy that much of the an
tagonism to the system comes from a quarter
which obviously has not yet tried it out, white
satisfaction is the rule in the northern and east
ern states where the majority of the banks are
members of the system.
It's King David's Turn
Religious England is watching with interest
what shall befall the vicar of St. Johns church
in Leeds, who has taken it upon himself to ex
purgate from the service the use of the One
Hundred and Ninth Psalm. His explanation that
the chapter is "un-Christian and anti-Christian"
is the cause of much speculative interpretation,
with his criticism as a guide. The vicar declares
that no one has been able to explain the curses
contained in the Psalm named or in the Thirty
fifth and Sixty-ninth Psalms, nor yet the appeals
to the Aimighty for the punishment of personal
enemies. These, he asserts, represent human
nature at its very worst. ,
Modern psychologists are teaching that altru
ism is a distinctive element of the instinct of the
human herd and not, as many suppose, an evi
dence of the weakness called pacifism during the
war. Accepting this as true, tne action or me
vicar is easily explicable. However, the ques
tion remaining for determination, is whether
theological authorities in the British kingdom are
ready to adoot this theory and whether they will
permit individual excisions of canon and rubric
by ministers and teachers at will.
It is to be feared that the vicar of St. Johns
at Leeds is in a fair way to be summoned before
the ecclesiastical courts for discipline. Mean
while the world will continue to sympathize with
David's entirely human conduct in time of trouble
and secretly to admire his talent for denuncia
tion. Cincinnati Enquirer.
Life Cost of Progress.
The development of aerial navigation is of
more ultimate importance to peace than to war.
The men who risk their lives aloft are serving
the cause of science, and their sacrifice will not
go unheeded or without result The conquest of
the air is but a matter of time, and the progress
of humanity towards that conquest will not be
hindered bv accidents. The details of such a
disaster as that at Norfolk, however, can not fail
to drive into the minds of the general public the
fearful risk that men take in the fight for knowl
edge. All humanity can do is to honor them- in
death. Science is the ultimate gainer, but every
body must deplore the awful cost of attainment.
