Is there to be no end to the creation
of governmental commissions by stale
and nation?
The census commission and many
other commissions created start in
very innocently and then are made
permanent.
In Great Britain the census is taken
and the result made known in twenty
four hours; here it takes years.
Now we are to have tariff commits
sion, chance for more reprehensible
graft than was ever offered few men.
Why do we pay state officials, legis-
lators, courts, and all the departments
of government if we must add COM
missions?
Suppose you tried to conduct an
army or business with commission
on the outside of all the regular
machinery set up?
Would it not be failure? We
create railroad commission to make
it harder to build and operate rail
roads and utilities.
We create an industrial commission
to stir up trouble between employers
and their employees and give jobs to
politicians.
There are now four commissions to
deal with the tariff a federal trade
commission, tariff commission, COM
mission of appraisers, and customs
court.
The state of Wisconsin went so far
as to create commission to investi-
gate commissions and then the people
rebelled and kicked it out.
Is it not time to call halt in all
this commission business and get back
to simpler form of government?

The fruit industry at bestis not very
profitable and in many western states
is crippled by foolish restrictive laws.
Growers say they find it almost i'm
possible to make anything growing
apples and yet we advertise that as
one of our pet industries.
Recently at Tremonton, Utah, a
cider manufacturer received a carload
of Gull apples and had to pick out
many on account of wormholes.
He offered to sell them at low prices
to poor people who were glad to come
and get them as they cannot afford to
buy the perfect apples.
The local fruit inspector stopped
the sale, holding the state law did not
allow sale Of imperfect fruit to the
general public.
The Bear River Leader says that is
a foolish gag law and should be re-
pealed, and that such drastic laws
have nearly killed the fruit industry.
Growers should be allowed to sell
their apples without spendingas much
as the crop is worth to make the
package attractive to millionaire.
In Oregon a similar fool law pre-
vents manufacturing jellies from the
wastage and windfalls of the orchards
and jellies are bought in the East.
There the apple growers have not
so many fool laws invented by soft
handed college graduates who never
work for living at any industry.

The states where the great manu-
featuring plants are situated and the
millions of employees find places to
work, all went for Mr.. Hughes except
Ohio. The trouble with Ohio for fif-
teen years past has been a surplus OF
statesmen. Since the big war Ohio
has had five native sons for presidents
and now when the Republican parry
gives the nomination to anyone from
some other state, Ohio feels it duty
to resent what she holds as an obvious
wrong. Then she has her local fac
tons within the party, and they are
so bitter that they cannot forget the
welfare of the country is at stake
This year their quarrels have been
most contemplate. But no matter;
we merely wanted to call attention
to the fact that the states on which
labor most depends for wages, all but
one went for Mr.. Hughes. Even New
Jersey with it's Princeton prestige
could not stand the economic policies
of the Democracy. Her voters rea-
lized what conditions would now have
been had not the war in Europe come,
they will be when that war stops.
No wonder the London press is re-
ioiced over the result of our election.
Since the great war began and the
German merchant ships have been
forced to cover, Great Britian's mer-
chant marine has been doing an i'm
mense business and Great Britain has
recovered her old prestige on the sea,
and in the estimation of foreign coun-
tries, especially those Of Spanish
America. All she lacked was the full
swing of the United States; her carry
ing trade on the sea and practically
free trade on land Hence she feared
greatly the election of Mr.. Hughes and
rejoices corespondingly over the re-
election of one who has proven that
he favors all her ideas. But the great
manufacturing states, all save Ohio,
showed by their votes that under an
extended Democratic rule was their
especial fear when Europe shall cease
fighting and begins to recuperate by
the foreign trade that will be resumed
chief of these will be Great Britain
and hence her present satisfaction
over the result of our election, which
isa guarantee of practically free trade

DEER PARK
00.s 600. 0.l.s..as

Deer Park is we'll on the way to be-
come a much more important trading
point and at the present rate of pro-
gress will be recognized as one Of the
most important in Garrett county
Since the firm of Whetsel & Browning
entered business there last August the
business Of the community has been
practically doubled. This means that {
has been made more attractive for the
people of that community in many
ways and by this improvement every
body in that section of the county have
been benefited.
1t is the old story of the young
blood" taking charge Of the situation
and the installation of modern business
ideas. Mr.. C. H. Browning, who is in
charge of the business, is formerly of
Oakland where he received his business
training. He was well known to many
of the people there before entering
business in that community and his
worth to the community was known to
those who knew him. He has had the
confidence of everybody since locating
there and is daily growing in their es-
TEEN.
The modern business methods of the
new firm has met with the approval of
all the people. The better class and
more modern goods have been the
means of keeping much of the trade at
home which was formerly going to
other trading centers. The good care
which has been taken of the producers
Of the community IN the way of handl-
ing their products to the best possible
advantage has made many friends for
the firm.
This big store now carries a fine line
of dry goods, notions, groceries, shoes
and everything for the home with fur
nishings for every member of the family.
Through the agency for one of the best
known tailoring companies IN the coun-
try they are in position to furnish high
class tailormade clothing to the men
and young men.
This store will be to the people of
the Deer Park community just what the
people there will permit Mr.. Browning
to make it. With reasonable cooper
alton he will give them a store such as
will compete in every way with the
large mercantile establishments of the
metropolitan cities and will make a
market for their products which will
prove great advantage to them. The
influence of this business house will be
far reaching and will bring about a d.
rect benefit to every individual of the
entire community.
