thing in business starts and ends with
the consumer. Now that people them
selves have begun to take matters into
their own hands and be reasonable, con-
ditions will normalize.
Back to Farm Movement
"Tha manufacturer, the wholesaler r
and the retailer will not sell cheaper
voluntarily, but they will lower prices
when unstable stocks begin to ac-
cumulate. That is exactly what is hap
pening."
MIR. Abbott would not predict bread
lines and soup kitchens for labor gen
orally, but was willing to forecast that
the time is coming when despite Sam
uel Gompers's announcement that labor
is speaking ain mandatory terms" the
worker will be- glad to find "an honest
days employment at reasonable
price
Farmers sons who have hocked to
the cities for high wages will be glad tc
go back and help to increase the
greatly reduced acreage of the nation,
Mr.. Abbott predicted. The time is com
ing, he declared, when the high wages
now offered in the cities will not be
so plentiful or attractive. and thus the
farmer will profit as we'll as the ulti-
mate consumer.
ut is nothing more than the law of
supply and demand, horse sense and
human nature that are bringing about
these conditions" he said

Governors Late Action
On Bills Breaks Precedent
Time Limit Expired Last Night,
but Smith Won't Announce
Decisions Until To-day

ALBANY. May 25.-The thirty day
period allowed the Governor to act on
olils passed in the closing hours of the
Legislature expired at midnight last
night. Governor Smith early thi,
morning declared he would announce
his action on the measures some time
to-day
The major portion of the bills were
appropriation measures and local bills.
1t IS predicted that most of the latter
will find their way into the omnibus
veto message
1t has been customary for governors
to announce their final action on bills
in the last hour of the thirty day Pc
ROO Governor Smith has departed from
this rule. 1T is explained, because he
wishes to make q thorough statement
IN connection with his approval or dis
approval of appropriation measures.
Even though the Governor NAV decline
to sign several appropriation bills, it is
expected the total appropriations for
the 1920-'zl period will be close to
$145, 900.
Rumors Of demands for an extraor
dinary session of the LEGISLATURE were
heard again last night. Governor
Smith refused to comment on these
reports.
More than thirty bills. amending the
civil practice act, for the purpose of
simplifying civil procedure in the
courts of the state, have been signed
by Governor Smith. Among the meas
ures ls one carrying an appropriation
