BONUSES TO INDUSTRY
CONSIDERED A BUBBLE

In an address before the sixth an
nual convention of the national asso-
citation of commercial organization sec
retaries in Chicago, J. David Larson,
secretary of the chamber of commerce
at Omaha, Neb., characterizes the
bonus practice as a bubble. Mr.. Lar.
son believes that bonus giving to
bring industries to a city has general
ly proved to be an unsound practice
and stated that it has been almost
entirely abandoned:
Years ago some enthusiastic SOU
( conceived the idea of buying indus
tries by giving bonuses. This expen
sive experiment appeared in the form
of cash, free land, tax exemption, etc

MAKING PEARLS FROM FISH
NEW DOMESTIC INDUSTRY

Establishment of new eastern fac

from fish-scale essence, marks the be-
ginning Of a new American industry,
formerly dependent on imports from
France, Germany and Italy, asserts Pop

The common herring is the base OF
supply for the iridescent material used
and removing it is an arduous task,
because each scale taken only from
certain parts of the fish, yields but a
tiny speck of luster.

BALLOT BEST BLuDCEON

EOR the life of US, we can't under
1 stand why the farmers, many of
the manufacturers and most Of the re-
tailers are jumping on the Federal Re-
serve Board alone. The Board is the
creature of the Democratic party and
is functioning just as it was organized
to function. If there is any resent
ment, the manifestation of that resent
ment should get back to the cause Of
things and be expressed at the ballot
boxes in November by votes Of rebuke
against the Democratic candidates
whether for the Presidency or for seats
in the Senate or House Of Representa-
tives. If the farmers are as indignant
as their resolutions indicate, there
ought to be mighty small vote for the
Democratic ticket among the agricul-
turists next month.

while the nations of low living stand

POOR COX!

his head. He is charging lies against
pretty nearly everybody. Root is tell

ditto Johnson. ditto Harding and lot
more-all lying
His canvass has become joke, and
himself laughing stock. Like another
mad Quixote he is INDUCING in whole
sale windmill crusade; astride his long.
cared Democratic Rozinante wildly
jousting at everything in sight.
But he has at last run up against an
antagonist that has woefully endorsed
him. He charged George H. Lorimer,
editor of the Saturday Evening Post,
with making ''disloyal propaganda"
and with imposing on the confidence
of the American people" hunting
for q subsidy from the government.
etc. all this because Lorimer is going
to publish this Saturday cartoon and
editorial making fun of the doughty
knight in his plainly losing campaign to
reach the White House. Poor Cox
He had better kept quiet, for now
everybody will rush to see the offending
cartoon and editorial!
Here are some of the scorching
phrases that Lorimer printed on the
front page Of the Public Ledger, in its
Tuesday issue:
''There could be no better vindication
Of the cartoon and comment that will
appear in this weeks Saturday Evening
Post, no clearer demonstration of Gov
ernor Cox's un6tness for high office
than his misleading remarks on the ad-
vance copy of the weekly that has
come into his possession Propaganda
has come. in the minds of shallow
thinkers like Governor Cox, to mean
any view that does not square with
theirs"
Finally, Lorimer closes his spanking
Of the foolish Cox with this parting
jibe: ''There is much to be said in favor
Of an altruist for President. There is
nothing to be said in favor of putting

dent 0 Heavens this is indeed 1.-The

All signs clearly point to big Re-
publican victory. Leading Democrats
all over the country are declaring them
selves patriotic Americans before
partisans, and roundly denouncing the
policy of their party that puts European
interests before the interests of their
own land.
Even staunch Tammany, seeing Cox's
hopeless case, is knitting him, trading
him off to win in their local fight where
the ''spoils" stake is more important
in their eyes than patriotism.
