lninncniK. On the aurface they all paiuke in
(nine degree of the nature of the Simmons bill,
Iiicb i obviously dr!gnet to make borrowing
tmy for the farmer. This i not the worst of the
farmer ! problems.
I'ndeilying the agiicultural itulu?try it the
gieat question of working capital. In a large
measure this is secured through borrowing, and
as a rule the farmer borrows the emit e amount
of his working capital, only a few providing any
part of it for himself. The banks have always
provided thi, and one effect has been, as ex
emplified by the experience of 1921, that when
money is scarce or crops move slowly, or an era
of low prices prevail, the farmer suffers unduly
because of his curtailed borrowing ability. Per
manent relief from this will come only when the
farmer is enabled tb finance his own operation
to a much greater extent than he is at present.
Where the entire profit on his operations is
rsed to pay interest on borrowed money, the
fanner is unable to accumulate capital. There
fore the first great need is an arrangement
whereby the agricultural industry may be put on
a basis of ability to finance its own. operation, to
the extent of at least 50 per cent of its needs.
When thus provided for, and with improved
methods of marketing that will give a more
table price condition, the farmer' money prob
Jrm w ill soon be softened if not entirely relieved,
i'nless this is done, any measure to facilitate bor
' rowing will merely continue a situation that is
preventing progress in agriculture.
t Farmers today Jiave tremendous sums of fixed
; capital invested; what they need is liquid capital,
j and they-nced it on terms that will enable them
' to share to a greater extent in the profits of the
farm. If congress can devise a measure that will
! satisfy this need, it will have served the country
well. If it is only planning to turn the tide of
' borrowing from one channel to another, little of
permanent good may be expected from any of
the measures that may be passed.
What Is the Ideal State T
If Trof. Frederic Bass of the University of
Minnesato municipal and sanitary engineering
department is to be credited, the present day is
j ceing the 'fulfillment of Tlato'i ideal republic.
Politicians, who are elected to office simply be
cause they belong to one party or another, are
last ..dropping into oblivion, according to this
yiewj- The tendency today is in the direction of
placing, experts in charge of each phase of gov
ermtient work, Trofessor Bass asserts.
' Plato did not consider himself a dreamer, but
actually believed that eventually a state resem
bling his ideal commonwealth would arise. What
he attempted to outline in his dialogues was a
form of society in which the ideal man might find
himself at home. Then would philosophers no
longer watch from their hilltop of contemplation
w hile the rest of the world rolled by, but with the
consent of mankind they would rule by right of
wisdom.
The present tendency toward specialization,
' the Minnesota engineer'says, will make for bet
ter government. Carried to the length outlined
by the ancient Greek, however, something very
different from democracy would result. The true
government,', to him, was the rule, not of many,
but of one or. a few. "And they, may govern,
whether poor or rich, by free will or compulsion,
and either with or without law, so long as they
govern scientifically," he wrote. , .
' . In iti broader aspects the republic of Plato
w as actuated by love of truth and xeal for human
improvement. These fundamentals of good gov-
ernment are increasing in extent today, faster,
however, than is rule by experts or philosophers.
So long as the choice lies between freedom and
' efficiency, most moderns will prefer the former.
The "Bills" and Their Bonds.
v Omaha Elks have entered on the interesting
stage of an important program, that of raising
the money wherewith to finance the building
of a million-dollar club house. That it will be
successful is admitted in advance, for it is
characteristic of the order to put through what
i ever it, sets about doing. While it will primarily
te for the benefit of the members of the or
ganization, it has some connection with the city
of Omaha. Elks as a rule are "live ones," and
a city which can boast of a lodge with member
ship as large as that of No. 39 in Omaha need
only point to the fact as a proof of the enter
prising character of its citizenship. One of the
essential factors in the proper equipment of a
regularly ordained Elks lodge is a club room,
where the members can meet, enjoy a little re
laxation,' where meetings may be held and busi
ness transacted, and where sojourning brethren
may be made welcome and cared for. Omaha
lodge has long had such a place, but it is too
small to take care of the legitimate needs of
the institution, and therefore the r.ew building
is to go up. A million dollars is a large amount
of money, but it is nothing when compared to
the enthusiasm of a working team of Elks bond

Getting ( market it ent ef tht chief problt m
of iht firmer. Thus it explained iht immense
popularity of iht St. !.arnet waterway project
and the renewed intrrtit in Missouri river nivi
ltion. Hence aUo tht recommendation of the
joint tongretiional commission rf agricultural
inquiry that railroad rate on farm products
should be reduced immediately.
"Iht commiiiioa u convinced that trim

trnmentil and public treitment rather than re
prrttive or restrictive regulation," Chairman
Sydney Anderson of Minneioia announcei, "We

be done by congress or tht government to help
aU business, including agriculture, to readjust
and ttabilire itself, transposition ii a vital fic
tor and must be dealt with equitably and con
structivfly, if the country is to go forward and
prosper."
One-third, and frequently two-thirds of the
selling price of perishable products ft spent for
freight bill, th;s report states. This is a hard'
ship on producers and consumers alike. A point
sometimes overlooked is that freight charges fre
quently are contained even in the price ef art!
cles that are not shipped. The telling basis in
these cases is adjusted according to what it
would cost to ship in the same material from
outside.
Since last August the transportation division
of the congressional board .has bren collecting
its facts. The conclusions rest on the combined
efforts of more than 1.600 persont and the circu
la t ion of 250,000 questionnaires. The full report
wilt furnish the foundation for a better adjust
ment of industry and transportation. The facts
have now been obtained; no more investigating
committees are needed. What the farmers and
business as a unit desire is action in the tight of
the facts, without regard to prejudice, politics or
anything but the welfare of the nation.
An Ail-Around State.
Every now and then a dispute breaks out as
to which is the most valuable to humanity, a
man who only knowt one thing and leads the
world in doing it, or the man who cart do several
different things, anyone of them well enough to
bring fairly close to the specialists who excel in
a single accomplishment. Generally, the
all-around man has the better of the argument,
for the reason that when the specialists fall
down in their particular tine, they are out, while
the generally developed individual has some
thing to fall back on.
What applies to men may also apply to com
munities and to states. Take Nebraska, for ex
ample: Iowa is first, Illinois second, and Ne
braska third in the number of brood sows, which
means hog raising; Iowa is first, Illinois second,
and Nebraska third in corn production; Kansas
is first and Nebraska is second in winter wheat
production; Kansas is first, North Dakota sec
ond and Nebraska third in all-wheat produc
tion, and finally, Nebraska is fourth in oats pro
duction. There are four marks worth noting.
As an all-around producer of food, Ne
braska tops the list. Iowa, Kansas and Illinois
may lead this state in specialties, but in the di
versified agriculture, that finally snakes for pros
perity and happiness, we have outdistanced
them. All Nebraska's eggt are not in one
basket, and the result is safety. . ,
Mary Garden a Success.
The Chicago Opera is to have a new director;
that is, if there is to be any more Chicago opera.
Mary Garden, versatile, scintillant, and aberrant,
says flatly she will never again direct the destiny,
the maneuvers or performance of the company. .!
Her place, she says, is among the artists, and
there she proposes to remain. At that it must be
?.dmitted that Mary .has been a brilliant success
as head of the organization. She not only kept
the affair well up on the front page by reason
of her , differences with other artists, such as
Muratore,' but she succeeded in doubling the
deficit for a single year. Regularly the Chicago
opera has been coming out $500,000 in the hole
at the end of each season. The gifted Miss
Garden could not be bothered with such trifles
as this; a paltry half million is almost insig
nificant when compared with a grand opera sea
son, especially when there are such things as
"The Love of Three Oranges" to be produced,
and why should art be trammeled by such sordid
conditions as mere money? Therefore Mary
presents the backers of the enterprise with a nice
little red ink balance of $1,000,000 as the net re
sult of her career as director. The figures are
eloquent of Mary's ability as a business woman,
and may' possibly serve to support her statement
that she will not again be bothered with the man
agerial details. ,
Farewell to Fatima.
Our old friend Fatima, she of the dance orien
tal, she of the midway, the sideshow and 'the
street carnival, has gone home. The news from
Constantinople is that Fatima has been given
the rank of lieutenant in the nationalist army for
bravery in action against the Greeks.
Whereas it used to cost 25 cents to gaze on
her torrid posturing;, now Fatima it leading a pa
trol composed almost entirely of Turkish women
in attacks on the enemy. On one of these occa
sions she returned with 25 prisoners. Whether
they were captured or merely captivated is not
told. At all events it is pleasant to view Fatima,
who once received a quarter per head from the
public, now herself giving quarter.
America has its hooch, but is now without its
cooche. Fatima is gone and all that remains is
the comfort of jarz.
The California town marshal who picked off a
couple of masked raiders set a mighty good ex
ample for peace officers everywhere. If members
of mobs felt that some danger accompanied their
performance, fewer might venture on such enterprises.
Wonder if the Chicago millionaires get a de
duction on net income for grand opera expenditures?
Suppose it turns out that that New Jersey
meteor was only the McAdoo boom going to bed?

law of hereditary, and scientists from all part?
of the world are invited to attend and to join
not only in the celebration but in uiakiner noi-
ble a Festschrift containing "original contribu
tions in the field of genetics."
To cap the climax, Vienna, impoverished
and full of despair in contemplating man in his
present state, observes that scarcely any de
partment of scientific research is of more gen
eral interest than that which concern pre
historic man. and turns from such complexities
as the Ter Meulen plan and organizes an Insti
tute tor the Mudy ot the Ice Age. Any one
who wishes fuller information concerning these
hitherto slighted periods of glacial conditions
asked to seek it along the blue Danube, where
the land structures "associated with glaciation"
can be observed in their relation to the environ
ment of prehistoric man. So can science enable
distraught peoples to hold a fire in their hands
"by thinking on the frosty Caucasus."

Germany and Russia are busy seeking new
ways to pay old debts. Aot paying tliem at
U is the way both would like nest to take.
Pending further progress in that direction thev
have made a treaty which cancels outstanding
claims which either may have against the other.
Both sets of claims are practically worth
less, for neither country would think of pavinir
the other except in stage money. But the two
debtors are glad to indulge m an inexpensive
gesture of debt cancellation, hoping that it may
ave a moral effect on real credit nations winch
would find a similar gesture a good deal more
costly.
The mutual sponging off of German-Russian
reparation claims is window dressing. The real
purpose of the treaty is to excite western Euro
pean tears that Germany will secure a prcterred
position in the Kussian market. In that Ger
man diplomacy is at its subtlest. The Russian
market is a nullity. No outsider can trade there
unless he is willing to sell on credit of a pre
carious sort. Yet the soviet dangles conces
sions before the eyes of western speculators
and investors; The GerSaaris wish to excite
jealousy by seeming to get into the Russian
held ahead ot other nations.
This advantage, however, is worth nothing
the Germans : except in the theory that
Hugo Stinnes and other German capitalists are
able to rush vast amounts ot capital into naked
Russia. Yet if Germany has these vast sums
spare if she is in fact preparing to grow
rich by exploiting Russia with her surplus re
sources what becomes of Germany's pica that
she is on the brink of insolvency; that she. can
ot pay reparations; that she can not balance
her budget or impose adequate taxes on her
citizens? -
The Russo-German debtors alliance is there
fore either a fiction or a fraud. If Germany
actually can't make payments on' reparations she
isn't in a position to grow fat eventually by ex
ploiting Russia, hazarding an enormous capital
in the process, she is able to keep on paying her
debts.

Congress Must Do Something
The present merchant marine is temporary,
ruinously expensive, and rapidly disappearing
for lack of a plan of maintenance, and opera
tion. The dram upon the treasury is enormous
in spite of the reforms instituted by the board
under Chairman Lasker. What will congress
do? Will it grapple with this uneconomical, ex
travagant, makeshift situation and transform it
into a merchant marine sytcm that, will be per
manent, economical and efficient? That is the
course to pursue if it is the wish of congress to
make a showing of economy and a curtailment
taxes.
The shipping bill is the result of long inquiry
by experts who have done the work at the in
stance of President Harding. Possibly the plan
may be improved upon. It is before congress
for that purpose. The best possible plan is the
one that should be evolved and adopted. If con
gress can evolve a plan that will avoid paying
a subsidy and will achieve the desired result, it
goes without saying that President Harding and
the shipping board would welcome tne new
plan and would eagerly put it into operation
as soon as it had become law.
Here is a golden opportunity for making a
real -record for economy, while at the same time

Diet and Glands. .
Omaha, April 21. To the Editor
of The Bee: Modern research em
phasizes the importance ol proper
functioning: of the Klands to our
existence. To those more interested
in prevention of race degeneracy
than in treating the ills resulting
from derangement of these organs,
it is advantageous to know how
different foods affect them. In the
Panamerican union ( public library
reading room) we find an Illuminat
ing article on food values. Though
the author's records of animal ex
perimentation confirms our view
that such infliction of suffering is
unnecessary, as they merely
strengthen the contention already
upheld by other investigators who
established their findings without
employing inhuman means, this es
say is well worth perusing by stu
dents of dietetics. It shows the
dangers of vitamine-deficient foods,
as well as a diet of too much starch
and fat. We are also told how cer
tain primitive peoples, feeding on
fresh vegetables, eggs, whole grains,
fruits and dairy produce are free
from many of ocr scourges, conse
quent on wrong dietary habits, and
live longer than we do.
