I UNEMPLOYMENT cannot be pre-

Rents cannot be lowered or exist

YAM not an expert economist, but

gather the views of the people on
most public questions, including that
of present unemployment.
believe remedy to lie in the
development of our commercial rela-
tions with South America. We have
heretofore confined ourselves too
much to Europe alone. That will
also include the development Of the
merchant marine The movement
back to the farm must be encouraged.
And there must be reduction in the
price of labor, but no more a reduc-
tion than is equivalent to the reduc-
tion in the cost of raw material The
first is not fair without the latter
This seems to be one Of the most
selfish ages in human history. There
isn't enough of the give and take
spirit. Everybody wants to take;
nobody wants to give Capital amt
hog it all; nor can labor hog it Ill.
If the world would live the Golden
Rule, Whatsoever ye would that
men should do to you, do ye even so
unto them" wars, the basic cause of
all this trouble, would be unknown,
capital and labor would shake hands,
civic and domestic relations would re-
turn to normal, the devil would be in
the hospital with both eyes out and
hell would be for rent.

HARDING CALLS
EXTRA SESSION
TO MEET APR. II
Emergency Tariff To Be
Rushed Through At
Start

WASHINGTON, March ga
proclamation convening congress in
special session at noon April IL, ito
receive such communication as may
be made by the executive" was is
sued today by President Harding.
Tariff and taxation will be principal
subjects before the new congress,
but many other important matters,
including the transportation prob
lem, regulation of the packing and
coal industries and immigration re-
striction are expected to be taken up.
None of these subjects were mention
ed in the call for the session, how
ever.
The Fordney emergency tariff
bill, precisely as vetoed by former
President Wilson, will be rushed
through Congress as the first impor-
tant legislation of the extra session.
Acceding to the request of Presi-
dent Harding for passage Of meas
ure designed to help the farmers,
crying for protection again foreign
competition, Republican members of
the House Ways and Means commit
tee turned about yesterday and
voted to revive the Fordney bill after
agreeing almost unanimously week
ago not to consider any emergency
legislation ahead of a permanent
tariff and revenue revision.
Senator Penrose, Smoot and Nc
Cumber, conferees from the Senate
finance committee, agreed to the
new program, which, it was explain
ed, meets the approval of the Presi-
dent. Senator Penrose expressed the
belief that the emergency measure
would be in the hands of Mr.. Hard
ing within ten days after the conven-
ing of the special session April IL.
The new Fordney bill will be pre-
sented with a six months limitation,
but its provisions will expire at an
earlier date should the permanent
bill be enacted before expiration of
the six months period.

We must also learn real values,
study our present needs and not hesi-
tate to supply them now, as refusal
to purchase necessities at this time
tend to create more unemployment.
To prevent a recurrence of our

against the Capitalization of power in

group or class of people. We must
avoid mass or class laws and infiu-

There is need of strong industrial

WAR DECLARED
ON WORLD RING
IN DOPE TRADE
Successful New York
Cleanup To Be
Widely Extended

NEW YORK, March 22.-(By the
Associated Press virtu-
ally to have broken the back of the
illicit drug trade in New York City,
IN four months drive, special Dep
uty Police Commissioner Carleton
Simon today declared war on the in
ternational ring which he charges is
responsible for illegal distribution of
dope throughout the United States.
In the anti-narcotic drive here
more than 1000 arrests have been
made and millions of dollars worth
of drugs seized.
Although the illegal drug trade
has been broken DR.. Simon asserted
the work of his bureau is not only
to continue here but is to be enlarged
to meet the problems in other big
cities in America and abroad.
BY means of an international bu-
reau of criminal records now being
established, all data concerning drug
crooks is to be ready for cities where
Leads" pointing to New York might
be uncovered, the commissioner said.
Recently he added, Antwerp police
had requested information concern
ing an alleged leader of the interna>
tional ring. 1t was shown by means
of information furnished by New
York that the man had police records
in London, Paris, Brussels and New
Orleans and had served prison sent
ences at various places aggregating
20 years.
owe made more arrests these past
fn11ts he N4bDo or
heretofore" said DR.. Simon, who
was selected to direct the drive be-
cause of his medical training. Every
wing of the metropolitan police de
partment was co-ordinated, working
in conjunction with the federal
agents. In consequence, "the fear"
.has been spread through the army of
Fvenders.
Before he assumed his job, DR.. 81
mon said traffic in drugs in New
York had reached an amazing stage.
His first move was to seek to clean
up New York then aid in solving the
drug vending problem in other cities
"a resultant evil of the situation
here.
Squads of special men were spread
to all parts of the greater city, ex-
pert men being picked to patrol the
lower East Side where venders were
even using school children as go
betweens" to supply addicts.
Constant watch was kept on in
coming ships where alleged snug
glers were resorting to all manner of
tricks to "sneak" the narcotics into
this country. Arrests of persons on
the docks revealed drugs hidden in
artificial arms and limbs; in sau-
sages and clothing. Once the anti
narcotic forces were working syste-
matically and arrests became fre-
quent, the situation soon gave evil
dence of being cleared up.
The almost daily raids in the city
reached climax recently in Brook
lyn when agents entered an apart
ment, arrested several persons and
seized drugs worth thousands of dol
lars. The great majority arrested
were "curbstone" venders.

TOOK LABORER
With SHOTGUN
Clash of Neiqhbors
Comes Out In Peace
Warrant Case

A dispute over negro labor be-
tween two neighbors living near
Sumter City, in which a shotgun is
said to have played a conspicuous
part, came 10 official notice when
Justice j. N. Carter was called out
of bed at 10 o'clock last night at his
home to issue peace and good be-
hayior warrant against Mack Biv-
ms, of that section, on complaint of
T. J. Webb and sons.
The warrants were turned over to
Sheriff Harvey, who brought Mr.. Biv
ms to Americus early this morning.
Arrangements were made for the
hearing on the warrants at 2 p. m.
today and it was in progress at press
time. Mr. Bivins was placed in GUS
tody of Sheriff Harvey until that
hour. The latter was represented
at the hearing by Wallis and Fort
and the Webbs by Hixon and Pace.
1t was alleged to Justice Carter, as
ground for the peace warrant, that
Mr.. Bivins had come onto the Webb
farm with shotgun, dragged a ne
gra farm hand from a mule in the
field and forced him to go to the
Bivins farm, and that on other occa-
sions he had forced colored hands to
go to his place from the Webb farm,
some of them former employees of
Bivins and some not. 1t was said the
trouble has been accmulating for
some time, and yesterday reached an
acute stage, the Webbs deciding to
go to court to forestall further trou-
bic.
Some interesting testimony was
expected to come out at the hearing
before Justice Carter

WAR is the prime cause of present
w unemployment. The cause OF
war is an inverted economic system
wherein trade between nations is in
hibited and restrained, notably by ta-
riff walls. Another cause is that the
"Junkers," chiefly agrarian, in all
countries, are largely in possession
of the peoples interests and govern
ments.
The immediate cause Of the pres
ent condition is reaction from inf1a-
ton due to war and war taxation; in
other words, our government is the
cause. 1t will continue to be until it
discovers that the war is over and
cuts out war expenses and taxes, and
leads the defiation process instead of
pulling it backward
Unemployment comes from under
consumption, which comes from ina
bility to buy at existing high prices
Commerce is struggling to defate
and Congress is preventing defation
by getting ready for more war.
All taxation being super-imposed
on capital and labor ties the burden
to the jackass' legs instead Of on his
back.
Tariff, income, excess profits, cor
poration, sales and general property
taxes, are all wet blanket on bust
ness and all add directly to prices,
making them prohibitive and shut
ting down factories.
There is a bill in Congress to take
billion of these off the2 consumers
backs and place it on the privilege 0.
owning land.
Congress must do something con
structive before unemployment is Sc,
riously interfered with.
