Fighting for Rights

Suit has been brought this week
against State Auditor Leddy to
compel him to pay over the $50 900
defense fund for the water of the
state. II looks queer that 1t is
necessary to bring suit and fight
over this small appropriation need
ed for defending the most vital and
important of the states resources
while hundreds OF thousands of dol
lars are being paid out by the same
state officials on appropriations less
legal and which he knows are sim
ply political jobbery and downright
slush funds. passed for the pur-
pose of making salaries for demo-
cratic ward workers. These bills
are merely pillage of the taxpay-
ers to create a democratic organiza-
ton. Yet they are paid on Illegal
appropriations without question,
while the defense fund although ad-
mitted to be legal is held up. The
farmers of the state have good
object lesson now of just what
democracy means. The case will
be pushed to an issue and Mr.. Led,
dy forced to disgorge a part Of
what he seems to consider his cam
paign fund.

When a Ship Turns Turtle,

To turn turtle" means, In nautical
language, that ship rolls too heavily,
fails to recover herself and after
brief period on her beam ends turns
topsy turvy, so that her keel points
skyward. Then, of course, she sinks.
Frequently the compressed air impris-
oned in her hull blows her bottom out
as she goes down, or II she is steam

In the hay Of Eiscay. In her case ex-
actly three minutes elapsed from the
time she FIRST turned turtle until she

ing more activity, and as distributors
shelves are bare Of stocks the outlook
is good for increasing demands. Many
cotton and wooden mills are still run
ming on short time, but the prospects
are that they will soon be obliged to
at least partially resume One of the
very best features in the outlook is
the continued expansion in exports
and decline in imports, which left
an excess of G,000,00O in exports
in January compared with only $780,
100000 a year ago.
Unfavorable Features Few.
These are the favorable elements in
the situation. The unfavorable fea.
lures are few, yet imporan; enough to
require watching. Among these are
the supreme court cases, which may
not be handed down icr some weeks
TO come. Nevertheless, tne fact that
these decisions will afleCc nearly 200
holding companies, having over 5000
subsidiaries and representing more
than $40, 000,000,000 OF capital, means
that a great mass or investors will
await the effect of these aii-important
decisions with intense interest, The
impression gains that these COM
panies have been WORKING against tie
law. If this impression proves cor
rest it means wholesale readjust
ment Of this mass of capitai to legal
requirements. OF course, as we have
often stated, this does not mean any
destruction of property, or loss OF
,ightful earning capacity, and if the
supreme court should point the way
of solution, as is generally expected
no seriously disastrous shock win fol.
low. Nevertheless the uncertainty,
that must remain until the decisions
are announced, will be an impediment
TO activity in many minds and an oc-
cason for apprehension to others.
When the results are known then we
may expect rebuond as an EXPIRES
sion of relief. Concerning the rail.
roads, q decision from the interstate
commerce commission mas long been
eSpected. Something III tile narnre
Of a compromise is anticipated, since
some of the Western RACES are known
10 have been unreasonably high, ami
many of the Eastern rates are admit
tedly very low, Upon the whole it Ia
evident that the railroads are not now
very fearful as to the result of this
lecision; their confidence being
shown by their activity in financing
and carrying out projected improve
ments. II is known tnat some of the
railroads have not earned their diyl
/ dcnds in the last two or three months
| but better things are expected of the
future as traffic increases and TN
necessary expenses, are curtailed.
