THE LAWS ARE SUFFICIENT.

More drastic laws against robb ers
and bandits will have to be passed
before the sattrnalia of hold ups
ceases. Boone News Republican.
II the News Republican will
change drastic laws" to more d,as-
tic enforcement it will be nearer the
mark.
The laws are sufficiently drf site
against robbers and bandits They
may be shot down by citizens and
officers in the act of robbery and
the law will approve. The law sends
them to long terms in penitentiaries.
The laws are drastic.
What is required is pursuit and
capture and punishment of robbers
and bandits, prompt and immediate
capture and equally prompt and i'm
mediate punishment
In Iowa we seem TO be lacking in
intelligent and trained ability to deal
with the bandits, The laws are tras-
tic enough. The lack lies In the fall
ure to trail and capture the offend
ers and the delay which attends the
conviction and punishment of those
who are captured.

THE RUNAWAY LEGISLATORS.

A question is raised as to the leg
islators who ran into other states
from Tennessee to- avoid meetins, the
issue OF suffrage. The question is as to
the loss of their membership. They
deserted in the midst OF battle. It is
argued that members desiring leave
must ask for it and il such leave is
refused must stay at their posts that
tho leave has been granted the house
has the right to send for or bring
back the absentee. The charge is
brought that these who ran away by
their act Cancelled their membership
and vacated their places which as a
consequence should be filled By, spe-
cial election on order of the governor
Of the state.
Whether the legal situation concid-
els with the claims of the suffragists
or not the legislator who ran away
deserves to lose his membership by
his own act. However that wo,ld be
but advancing his retirement. They
will be retired when they come up
for re- election safely enough.

A JOKE ON ALBA.
Newton News.l

A few weeks ago the Des Moines
Register sent a special feature writ
er to Abba to write up Nate Ken
dali, republican candidate for COVER
nor. The account was read by thou
sands of people thruout Iowa. Casey
Of the Knoxville Express, sums up
the whole situation when he says:
Fame has its penalties. sometimes
most unexpected. For instance. see
what happened to Nate Kendall. Nate
Is really big man and a dignified
man. a man Of wide reading and deep
reflection He is the republican cam
didate for governor. and lives at Al
bia. In an evil hour the Des Moines
Register conceived the idea of send
ing one Of It's bright young women
to write Nate up. and the result ap-
peared in Sundays Register. Nate
was writ up in the paper" and SO
was Abba! How Nate must have
writhed to see himself pictured by a
faciie cartoonist int he act of stealing
the nuts from the tables prepared for
his wife's guests. How Abba must
have squirme1 TO find itself pub
liShed over Iowa as a down-at- the
heel cross roads village where
"rickety conveyance" hauls people
from the depot to the square and the
old citizens continually say GOSH"
Evening times-Republican. [volume] (Marshalltown, Iowa) 1890-1923, 1920-08-25

Then the paper proceeded to figure
up what these amazing prices, as
against the year-before quotations.
meant to farmers. 1t estimated that
on the basic of 1000 farmers in the
county these big prices" meant An
creased revenue to the extent of
l$720, 6O5.25. It figured that this meant
great things for the farmers, as each
would benefit to the extent OF $50,
which was regarded as an amount Of
considerable inheritance.
OF course. all this reads and sounds
like comedy In this year of grace,
1920 Think Of it,, community so
elated over 22cent corn l5-cent oats,
$3.50 hogs that the local newspaper
got out a special edition as vehicle
of Thanksgiving. The prices at which
flour, butter, eggs, milk, muslin, etc,
were selling in that day of wonderful
prices may be easily ina ined That
$3.50 for each farmer representing
net revnue over the preceding year,
looked like legacy from sainted
aunt who had passed on to her re-
ward. Today the farmer spends $3.50
for a new set Of tires for his auto
mobile, little gasoline, oil and spark
plugs, and thinks nothing of it.
OF course comparisons are said to
be odius, and perhaps some are, but

asserting even now tnar still lower
levels may not be established. De-
preston in hides is practically gen
eral, about all varieties of both do
mestic and foreign stock being af-
fected. and such transactions as are
reported are invariably made at
further concessions on the part OF
sellers.
Another phase Of the present re-
adjustment period as noted by Duns
is the falling off in production, which
is expected TO be further increased
in northern and eastern sections
during the next few weeks, as many
mills are planning to close for vaca-
tons. A cotton fabric finisher is re-
ported to have estimated that about
80 per cent. of the machinery is idle,
owing to poor business conditions.

BUSINESS WAITS ON PRICES.

While no single element fully ac-
counts for the continued hesitation
in business, it is even clearel, now
than. recently that the price question
remains the dominant factor in the
situation. Resistance to market
yielding persists in some quarters,
but fails to offset the influence of
misunderstanding forces, and declines
in commodity quotations this week.
as Dun's list demonstrates, again
outnumber advances by consider
able margin. Liquidation Of goods
that could not be moved at previous
extreme prices is still feature in
various wholesale and retail chan
nelss, the prevailing monetary re-
strictions fastening the offerings in
some instances, and it is significant
that openings of new lines of mer-
chandise for forward seasons are be-
ing made at appreciable reductions
from former levels.
That most buyers have not rushed
to operate at the first sign CT price
reaction, but have adhered to their
policy Of limiting commitments as
closely as possible, is an Indication
that further deflation is expected,
and predictions of scarcity CT sup
plies to follow, based chiefly on the
curtailment of production in some
leading industries. are being largely
disregarded. The determining fac
tor in the price situation is The atti-
tude of the consuming public, and
that there is now less extravaganza
in personal expenditures, and dis
tinct tendency toward economy and
,retrenchment. is hardly to be doubt
ed. The change in purchasing dis
position, moreover, is not confined
to the East, but extends to the West
and South. and reports Of collections
and failures, as well as of bank
clearings. reflect the current bust
ness readjustment. With good crops
in prospect, and with continued i'm
yrovement in transportation condi-
tions, a solid basis for future pros
perity exists; but revival cf COM
mercial activity at present waits
mainly on price developments is.
Looking the business field over
from its point of vantage Duns
commercial agency sees evidences
Of continued liquidation apparent in
nearly all divisions of the dry goods
trade. Many signs Of resistance to
price yielding are discern4ble, but
various gray cloths and yarns have
fallen to lower levels thru offering
from second hands, and mills are
now inclined to meet customers
ideas more freely. While demand has
become steadier in jobbing channels,
yet buyers are anticipating still low
Ell. prices, and are not disposed to do
much more; than take in the mer-
chandise they have on order,
The continued yielding OF hide and
leather prices has not been unex-
pected, last weeks developments in
dicatins that the markets had not
