CLARK DENOUNCES
CALAMITY HOWLERS
IN NEW YEARS STATEMENT, HE
CALLS ATTENTION TO THE
GREAT PROSPERITY.

WASHINGTON, Jan. lin New
Years statement calling attention to
the great prosperity Of the country,
Speaker Champ Clark, Of the house,
tonight denounced the calamity
howlers who are predicting panic
under the incoming democratic ad-
ministration.
Taken all In all, said M. Clark,
1872 was one of the most prosper
GUS years the American people have
ever known, and the signs of the
times indicate that this great pros
perity will continue through the year
1913, and, let us hope. through a Sc
ries of years. Agriculture is the basis
OF all prosperity, and the crops Of
1912 were among the largest In his
tory. Factories are running overtime
and are behind with their orders. Ev-
erybody that wants employment can
find it. There Is no necessity for
panic. Certain malignant marplots
keep croaking about impending disas-
ter. Some do it for their own selfish
purpose and some for lack of sense.
It Is a pity that all such unpatriotie
and inhuman folks cannot be sequest-
cred in some secluded place remote
from the haunts of men. while the
rest of us work at the pleasant and
important task of promoting the pros
perity and happiness of the American
people. OF course, il enough Cassan-
1ras keep on predicting calamity,
hey map be able to precipitate an
artificial panic; but it is to be fer
vently hoped that they win fail In
heir criminal endeavors, and be-
ieve they will fail"

renee county, was in Columbia this
morning en- route home from i trip
to Florida with Mrs. Stribling and his
daughter, Miss Jim.
While esated in the rotunda OF the
Bethel House waiting for his train he
was seen by 3 Herald representative
and asked about his plans and pros
poets for a demonstration corn crop
this year. Mr.. Stribling had DEM
onstration corn crop of twenty acres
under the direction of the govern
ment agents OF the bureau Of plant
industry during the year 1912, with
the result that his yield was an av-
erage Of 103 bushels to the acre. the
biggest thing that ever happened in
Lawrence county, and the largest
yield for the amount OF land cultivat-
ed in one plot ever produced in the
state.
Il am going to put in about the
same amount Of ground and follow
the direction OF the demonstration
agents, with the determination not to
be satisfied with less than an average
of $50 bushels per acre. This Of course
looks large, but there is no reason
why it can't be done, and am deter
mined that it snail be done in Law
renee county and on my farm said
Mr.. Stribling.
THE county court meets Monday
and we are going before that body
and ask the county to make an appro-
priation for the assistance of this
work equal to what the U. S. govern
ment is doing, and we are very hope
full that this will be done. It is the
greatest opportunity the county has
ha. and the county court should take
of It,"
Mr.. Stribling has been asked by the
U. s. department to prepare an 'exhib-
it of corn for the great South Carroll
ma corn exposition next month, and
he agreed to comply with the request.
He will also place lot of this corn
on the market for seed corn.
There is more interest this year
than ever in the experimental and
demonstration work, and there will
be more Of these farms during nine

Quiry this coming session
The New York American learned
yesterday from DR.. w. M. Polk, one
of the most distinguished physicians
in the city and president of the New
York Academy of Medicine, that an
endeavor will be made to secure leg
islation making 1t possible for the
Board Of Regents to take the license
from any doctor guilty Of fee-split-
ting or over-charging.
The better medical men of the
city are aroused by the prevalence
Of this abuse. In many instances
patients are compelled under fear of
death to have a specialist brought in
whom they cannot afford, and from
whose fees the family doctor gets
his percentage
Our association has been aware
of the scandal for some time said
DR.. Polk last night I'VE have not
fortunately. found any one In our
academy who would stoop so low as
to conspire against patient. But
we know of their existence outside
the association, both in this city and
elsewhere The evil is scattered all
over the country.
AS soon AZ 1t was brought to our
attention, we desired to put a stop
to the practise. We know resolu-
tions would do no good, SO we pass
ed bylaw expelling any one we
found committing this offence, which
is nothing short of crime
'The practice can be attacked as
a conspiracy. The plan is for a
family doctor tc say specialist is
required. The doctor goes to the
specialist and asks him how rluch
the specialist asks to perform GER
tain operation. If the specialist
tells him $3.50, the family doctor
charges $3.50, in addition to his own
regular charges.
The gravity and RIGHTEOUSNESS
Of the system is due to it's secrecy.
You cannot detect cases, save on the
information of patients, and usually
they are too i'll or too trusting to
know These specialists who share
In fees are never really reputable
men in the profession. They are
nothing more or less than shrewd |
men.
'The action for the new legisla- |
ion probably Will come through the |
Board Of Regents. They control the
licensing of medical men, and they

TRUTH ON THE PUBLIC DOMAIN

When one considers that the United
States has been settled with a rapid
ity that is almost magical; that in n
hundred Years it has developed to the
magnificent leadership Of the world un-
der its liberal land policies, it seems
amazing that there should he such
stiff and widespread determination that
those liberal policies shall be at once
discontinued A recent article in Col
lier's Weekly, for instance, has this
sort Of insane statement upon the aues-
ton
The Indians form only a fraction OF the
Interior Departments care The man
who is 10 I'll this post will have charge

than many European Kingdoms. 1t all

bent on stealing some OF It,
The remaining portion Of the do

trary, we hold that our politics are
altogether too windy already,
WILL THERE BE NO LET-UPq

The taxpayers may well ask if there
taxes. Rumor now is that the city
taxes are to be increased seven mills
for water purposes, making with the
thirteen mills for current expenditures
a city tax OF twenty mills.
! There is also a constant demand from
the schools Ga demand which every
one feels like acceding toy for more
money TO do better work.
There is no let-up in the county
taxation, and the commissioners get
so much more money than they know
what to do with that they squandor
il in the erection OF 5000 coo hos
pital which it VIII cost more to run
than would be the cost of all the pa
tients that the county could possibly
have to pay for if they sent them to
hospitals already organized and
equipped in this city.
The state administration is always
calling for more money, and piratical
bill is now before the Senate which
would allow Of enormous pressure be-
ing brought to bear to bring unlimited
revenues to the State treasury.
When is all this sort of thing going
to cease7 We never hear anything
about economy in this State; it is al
ways spend, spend; tax. tax; and de-
demand for moro and increased reve-
nues on every hand. There must come
a time when the people cannot stand
it, and will turn out Of power those
who thus insist on increasing their
burdens.
We submit that the present Legis-
lature of Utah is in perilous position
on this point. 1t will have to call
halt, or there must be complete re-
versal of political control in this
State. For, the people demand relief;
they not only murmur, they revolt,
against additions to their tax bur,
dens.
