WHEAT STRIKE IS
c CALLED SUICIDE
FOR F ARM E r S

Reprinted from Forbes Magazine
Night riders are buN in the cot
ton belt burning and destroying and
threatening and terrorizing with a
view to coercing growers not to
market their cotton until some arti-
ficially inflated price is brought
about; and the Wheat Growers as
ISOLATION of the United States, com
posed of 10000 farmers, are launch
ing bold poject of conspiracy to
hoard wheat until So a bushel can
be realized.
Nothing could be more futile.
nothing more untimely, nothing more
fraught with danger to the conspira-
tors. Leaving aside any ethical or
legal considerations. such action IS
tragically shortsighted since it IS
bound TO fail.
Surely the ruinous aftermath of
strOng-hand price-boosting methods
has been sufficiently driven home
by recent events.
Cuba INDUCED in a glorious orgy
of price-boosting; today morato-
rum rules in Cuba, the suspension
Of payments having been brought
about by the bursting of the sugar
bubble.
Brazil once embarked upon an ex-
tremely ambitious project to va
loriZe" coffee, a maneuver which,
unfortunately, received the financial
support of the National City Bank
of New York and other powerful in
interests; Brazil paid dearly for her
attempt to overthrow the economic
law and the coffee trade is today in
distress.
Silk growers in Japan, finding an
abnormal demand from American
workmen who aspired to wear $40
silk shirts, held out for ridiculous
prices for their product, raw silk
multiplying in price five or six
times; the usual sequel occurred and

ulous among them deserve to be.
American farmers ought to be far
too level-headed to be misled by the
exhortations of windy leaders utter
| ly devoid of economic sense and ut
terly ignorant of economic experien-
ces. Could a large enough number
of farmers be induced to join the
conspiracy to withhold supplies from
the market, the price of wheat un-
questionably would be inflated tenn
porarily. But the greater the "suc-
cess" Of the price-boosting tactics
the more certain would become a
subsequent collapse.
Canada has wheat which she would
be delighted to dump into this mar
ket as somewhat less than SO bush

led into taking a suicidal step.

YOU remember the story. JAR and within
Was imprisoned Genie (some called him Djnn)
And careless Fisherman loosed the stopper,
Not knowing his action dashed improper
and the Genie seeped out huge and high
He blotted the Fishermans earth and sky
And the Fisher escaped the spirits wrath
BY inducing the Djinn to retrace his path,
Till. when the poor devil had proved he could
The Fisherman corked him up-for good.
Well Fate is the Fisher and here we are
Each of us out of his geneiar.
And swell around wondrous rate
And threaten destruction to brighten Fate
BY growing forever, and then-and then
We're induced to creep into the jar again,
And the Fisherman shoppers out final breath
And the jar is a Body, whose Cork is Death
Who finish the tale and resolve the doubt
Does the Genie again get out?

In recent bankruptcy case II ap-

partners in a tire shop. The part
nership had been dissolved. At the
time OF dissolution certain tires in the
premises were conceded to be the
property OF tho retiring partner.
These were specially tagged. and an
agreement was made whereby these
tires were to be left in the possession

the business on his own account, and

the proceeds to be turned over to tho
retiring partner. Before the tires
were sold the business of the new
concern went into bankruptcy. The
former partner at once claimed the
tires in question as his property. The
trustee in bankruptcy also claimed
them as a part OF the bankrupt es-
tate, for distribution ratably among
the creditors.
While conceding that the trustees
position would have been well taken
had the tires not been specially mark
ed and set apart the court decided
that this factor In the case entitled
the former partner to the return OF
his property.
Another point in tho preceding case
related to some additional tires which
had been delivered under a consign.
ment arrangement. These were
claimed by the manufacturer which
had delivered them. and also by the
trustee in bankruptcy. The court sus-
tanned the claim OF the manufacturer.
A Western city recently passed an
ordinance prohibiting the use of
horses on its streets. Similar legis-
lation Is under consideration in a
number of other municipalities. Some
interesting questions OF constitutional
law will arise under such ordinances.
While the right to legislate for the
safety and general well-being of the
community has very wide bounds, the
United States Supreme Court has re
peatedly held that legislation of this
character must have a reasonable re-
lation to the object in view. and that
ii must not amount to an unwar-
ranted interference with personal lib
crty or with the rights of property.
While automobiles may be more eff
cient than horses, the point will be
made that the use OF horses involves
no inherent or necessary dangers, and
that in many emergencies they have

WHY NOT co TO HEADQUARTERS

w If NOTE a letter addressed by Mr.. Carl Magcc to the republican
w state committee, published in Sundays journal, relative to the
" registration of soldiers md others at the United States military
station at Columbus, New Mexico. We do not know the facts as to
The situation at Columbus except that reports have come from there
indicating that certain democratic registration officers have refused TO
permit legally qualified voters and property owners in Columbus to
register. We have no doubt. that the republican state committee will
take such steps as are necessary to see to it at once that no citizen
entitled to vote is deprived Of that right, no matter what his party or
race, and that no colonization of voters is permitted TO take place.
It strikes us as peculiar, however, that Mr.. Magee should address
his inquiry TO the republican state committee when he could have OBJ
tanned much more definite information and much quicker service by
applying to headquarters upon matters of this kind.
The election machinery Of Luna county is in the hands Of the
democratic party. The federal election supervision is under the con-
troll Of the democratic administration. They should be able TO handle
a situation. of this kind to the satisfaction of Mr.. Magee, since he is
a democrat and working as best,he can FOR democratic success in the
election.
Moreover we have the statement Of Mr.. Hanna, the democratic
candidate for governor, made at Silver City, that the federal author
tiles are going to see to it that no fraudulent voting shall be permit
TED" This MEANS no doubt, although Mr. Hanna as usual is not def.
mite, that numbers Of United States deputy marsAAls will be distrib-
utcd through the state, assisted by deputy prohibition cnforeers, dep
uty revenue collectors, deputy agricultural aeents9dcpnty animal in

so equipped it is difficult to see just what power or influence
the republican state committee could exercise in connection with the
exercise Of the franchise, at Columbus, or anywhere sBe.
Why not go to headquarters, Mr.. MAgee, and ask the democratic
state committee IL they intend TO commit any election fraudsH

TRUSTS R D

III ERBERT HOOVER, who was President Wilson's food admins
III traitor, and had many honors heapcd upon him by the democratic
= administration, has actively entered the campaign.
In his first address for the Harding Coolidge ticket he said he was
for Harding because he believed the paramount issue in the campaign
was party responsibility. He said he had faith in Senator Hard.
ing's craftsmanship and in the responsibility of the republican party
lie further said the democratic administration since the dccnra-
ton Of the armistice had been a failure. For this reason he said he
favored a return to republican power.
Mr.. Hoover was in Europe during the war. he was in Paris FOR
q part Of the time that the league of nations was being drafted. When
he rejects Mr.. Wilson's league of nations and declares that he agrees
with Mr.. Harding in his position toward the league it must be for a
very well defined reason.
What is that reasonf ltis that Mr., Hoover does not believe that
we should bind ourselves under article ten to fight the battles OF
Europe.
The democrats not SO. many months ago Thought they saw in
Hoover a real candidate for president. But Mr.. Hoover stopped their
speculation by saying that although he had ncvcrbeen a partisan, he
had voted the republican ticket. The point we wish to make in recall
ing this is that after his close association with the administration Mr..
~ltoover must have some very definite reasons for not wishing TO be
bound up with the democrats and the league of nations If he would
pull away from further honors that they might thrust upon him.
When he says he has faith in Harding and the republican party
in This hour, it must be that he thinks for the future welfare of Amer
lea and stands for America first and party secondary.
