Another Big B,,:nt,er.


Another stupendous blunder has
been added to the Democratic score.
The law to prohibit future trading
Ia cotton. enacted last year, has been
declared unconstitutional BY n feder-
al court.
A violation by Congress of one of
the simplest rules Of law making is
the basis for the decision. The con-
stitution directs that ali revenue
measures must originate in the
House Of Representatives. The cot
ton futures law originated in the
Senate. By title it was ian act to
tax dealing in cotton" etc. 1t has
produced revenue.
A palmer case OF legislative botch-
Ing is hardly conceivable. The court
said 1t could do nothing but pro-
nounce the law void.
The decision numerically flays
the Democratic Congress for its
slovenly methods.
This act falls into the class OF
measures void because Of the I'M
workmanlike way in which Congress
used the tools provided by the con
stitution- said the opinion of the
court. Congress did something in
Sucn SlOVenly manner that Ito be
effectively 1t must be done over again.
The constitution provides that all
bills for revenue must originate in
the House. 1t is not seen how this
court can disregard Information fur
nished by Congress itself"
A more humiliating fasco than
this Democratic experiment with the
cotton industry can be scarcely i'm
agined. For years there has been
constant agitation on the subject. 1t
eliminated In a tremendous demand
In the last Congress for legislation
to regulate the cotton market. ORA,
matte appeals came from scores Of
national law makers from cotton
producing centers.
UNLESS you enact this law de-.

The Military PROGRAM.

While William Jennings Bryan
has announced his purpose to exert
ell the influence at his command to
defeat the administrations program
for military preparedness, and while
Representative Hay, chairman of
the military affairs committee. has
indicated some-and feels greater
hostility to anything proposed by
Secretary Garrison, the administra-
ton is confident of success. Its
reasoning. as outlined by a source
very close to the president, is MS fol-
lows:
The Democratic leaders will be
called to the White House, a few at
a time. and informed of the financial
condition of the government. 1t will
be pointed out that the government
has already run behind S42, 400, 900
since July 4, that the proposed re-
peal of the free sugar clause In the
Underwood bill, while it will pre-
vent a further reduction OF the re-
venues by about s5O,OO0,0OO. will
not mean a penny OF increase. AS
q consequence of this situation a
bond issue will be imperative, but
for the Democrats to issus bonds to
carry on the government will he con
elusive evidence of that incapacity
to conduct its affairs which the party
has shown in all It's previous admin
istrations. If, however, the people
can be aroused to the Importance OF
bringing the military establishment
up-to-date. they will not critise a
bond issue-and bonds can be issued
in sufficient amount to make good
the Democratic deficit, as we'll as
defray the cost of preparedness.
The administration will be COM
PEELED to sell bonds anyway, and
your vote for military preparedness
will help to cover up the reason
is the warning which President VIII
son will give to each good and faith
full Democratic member Of Congress
this autumn.

The machinery Of law making is
not mere plaything. It is power
ful instrument controlling national
destinies. Public welfare demands
that Its operation should not be en-
trusted to those who over and over
again have demonstrated their utter
unfitness for the responsibility.

 What is 10 be said in excuse Of the shocking conditions under which hun dreds Of thousands Of workers in the fertilizer plans of Roosevelt N J. with their families are condemned to Hive?
 For housing. miserable buildings, overcrowded and without ventilation, where filth, vice and disease share quarters with poverty; so-calied dirty "homes" without any privacy, where children arc born. live their little term and died in squalor and wretched neglect and where immortality flour ishes as an inevitable consequence of the surroundings; @ hotbed for tuber- culosis and other diseases from which men and women and their children have no hopes of escape; no schools where the faborers may learn how to better themseves, only work under foul, unsaaitary conditions and no pro vision for the care, comfort or health of the workers-it is ghastly situa- ! lOh that tne great fetlll4er AluSl and It's neigabors have created for their own immediate profit.
 Then ii the men strike after their wages have been cut to the point of starvation they are shot in the back by gangs of hired gunmen, and the great corporations that use them and cast them off like refuse prate pious- ly about law and order and the rights of property.
 The State Of New Jersey tolerates these things under supposedly hu- mane laws, it permits this running social sore to remain as 1t Is and ex- preses mild surprise that the rest of the country should be aroused at the sight For the promotion of les sa- cred industries it has winked at the brutal exploitation Of cheap alien la- bor and shut It's eyes to the welfare Of poor foreigners who are helpless to protect themselves. How much long CT does it purpose to permit tbe greed Of its corporations and the indiher- ence Of It's big employers to disgrace It's name?

COUNTY MEETING
FARMERS UNION

The regular meeting Of the county
organization of Farmers Union held
at Kimball Saturday, was we'll attend
ed and interesting throughout The
morning session was executive and at
tended by delegates and members OF
the locals. At noon a most excellent
dinner was served in the schoolhouse
where the meeting wes held, and there
was enough for three times the num-

and friends, and it was happy idea
to have the picture taken after dinner,
as the people all looked we'll satisfied
with life after the good grub
At two o'clock open meeting was
held John d. Lay di,cussed "Si-
los' 10 excellent manner, and seemed
to be pretty we'll posted on the matter.
The subject of alfalfa growing came
up in bis address, and was the subject
of discussion by various members
Mr. Haskew, of South Pittsburg, pres
ident of the Sequachee Valley Fair
Association made brief talk Of what
the Fair Association desired Of the
farmers, anu Mr.. Arendale spoke Of
the advantages good road gave in
transporting merchandise, saying cit
was as good as railroad in these
days of motor trucks. Louis Harris,
Mr.. Hogan and others spoke on vari-
ous topics, among them the advantag-
es of using the split log drag was
brought out. and the verdict Of con-
vention was that it was a success, and
the road it formed we'll worth its
manufacture and operation. One
speaker urged that at this time when
very effort was needed to get the Dig
ie Highway through the county, the
Farmers Union, thru their locals,
should get together aud pledge them
selves for work on any route selected
going thru the county. As the male
members of the union number between
300 aud 400, twelve months work two
days month would mean 5000 days
work and would be very substantial
aid to the movement, and there would
be little additional tax on anyone.
The next county union will be held
ct Ebenezei on the 3rd Saturday in
May.
