LIKES IT'S POWER
To Keep 1t. Supreme Court
Turns Down Recall

Denver, COL Like all other courts,
the state supreme court of Colorado
will not voluntarily yield any of its
power, and therefore rules that the
recall-of-decisions law, passed in 1912,
is unconstitutional.
The recall law prohibited trial
courts from declaring either state
laws or city charter provisions uncon-
stitutional. If such action were taken,
the law gave the people the right to
recall the decision.
The supreme court set the law aside,
and gave notice that its only superior
is the United States supreme court
and that nc one else has the power TO
review it's decisions.
The court also set aside the Cole
RADIO anti-coercion law, which forbids
an employer from discharging work
er who belongs to legitimate labor
organization, fraternal society or any
body of lawful nature. This deci-
sion was made in the case of cem-
mercial telegraphers who were vic
timized by the Western Union Tele-
graph Company three years ago.
In this case the court followed sim.
liar decisions by the United States
supreme court, which has ruled in the
Adair and Coppage cases that an EN-
ployer can discharge worker fo,
any reason or no reason.

CHANGE OF POLICY
Urged on Railroads BY Fl
nancier

New York.-The labor policy of
railroad managers is not producing
results, and a change is necessary,
according to Haley Fiske, president of
a nationally known life Insurance COM
pany which has S32, 100000 invested in
New York Central railroad stock.
In letter to A. H. Smith, presi-
dent of the railroad Mr.. Fiske says,
in effect:
"We have watched the rail man.
ayers attack on the railroad unions,
and you have been defeated. We
took no part in the contest, but now
we find that the unions have the
roads on the defensive end our stock
is liable to depreciate in value be-
cause of hostile public opinion. 1t
is time you changed tactics and indi-
Gated a conciliatory disposition, for
if you don't our stock will decrease
and while your bondholders will be
protected, through first mortgages
on Central property, the stockholders
will lose We were silent until we
discovered you We're playing a losing
game, but now we insist that our in
terests be protected"

committee on ways and means. One
brief week was given to the turnover
sales tax people from New York, who
have been urging that proposition be-
fore our committee, and it is signifl-
cant that all sales tax advocates now
desire to force the passage OF that
act upon the people before it can be
fully understood or discussed. With
out exception they are demanding
revenue first.
"Mr. Taft says the sales tax is
easily collected Treasury officials
squarely deny that statement, and
point to the evasions of the luxury
tax as evidence of actual experience.
"The ex-president makes the aston
ishing statement that neither party
to the sale feels resentful that he is
paying the tax Through what source
could he have secured such fanciful
opinion before the tax has been tried -

WISCONSIN TOBACCO MARKET


Edgerton, Wis, December %, 1921.
If the roads nj the northern valleys
have been any worse to navigate tnan
what they have been recently, the buy
ers have failed 70 comment ont it. Soft
from rain and snow, the roads have
been cut through by autos and trucks
until the ruts have been so deep that If
you once were there you had to stay to
the end of the road, or nearly so. Then
a sharp drop in the temperature Sat
urday and Sunday last with some snow
and riding became haZerd to anybody
but a jack rabbit. Still the buyers
mentioned last week in the market
news have been plugging away in a
jog, selecting and rejecting, but adding
to their holdings few acres every day
The firms who have not yet entered
the field refuse to become excited
They know, and everybody knows just
about how prices viii run for the de-
sirable crops. The figures reported
for the good end hover around the zoe
average. This is supposed TO be for
sound and we'll cleaned crops. When
this goods has changed hands, the
balance will go at prices that will be
settled by a dicker between the grower
and buyer, each looking out for him
self as best he can.
Outside of the northern valleys moth
ing worth mentioning has taken place
in the 1921 crop. There may be few
acres bought in the southern section
before the first Of the new year, or the
standstill may continue until then.
The whole crop is now stripped, or
practically so. 1t looks like a good
weigher, in spite of its general thin
ness, especially if it could go on the
scales now. 1t will move, undoubtedly,
but every indication is for liesurely
movement, quality getting the prefer
ence Of the lift. The same is true of
the 1920 market. Soon sales are made
out of first hands every week, but so
quietly and unostentatiously that peo-
pie have quit talking about it.
Shipments continue light. During
the first II days of the month 6 cars
of bundle goods were received at this
point, and 6 cars of bundles and II
cars of cases going out.--Reporter.

Telling of having been an "auto

doctor says:
"Our first trip was out into the dcs-

time we had set up a camp, we thought

passing cars. When we got to Red
Rock canyon it was $50 above and no
shade. Conditions ahead promised
even worse. and as Mrs. X. was about
all in from the heat, we decided the
coast was the place for the summer.
Red Rock canyon is beautiful
place--red cliffs and rocks. Harry

They were taking pictures but we did
not stop-ue were on our way to
Venice and the salt breeze sure did
seem good.
"on our next trip. we followed the
peaches from here to Mexico, some
times camping several days at one
place. We crossed the line at Tia

place. 1t was built simply to furnish
booze and gambling for American
snorts. but everyone goes to see it.

You then see the city itself. 1t looks

There are numbers on the program
which will no doubt be. new to most
of the audience, and also many old
favorites which are always welcome.
For the opening number the Over
ture to the bohemian Girl" is one Of
the best of Michael Balfe's works.
While he was prolific writer of the
ballad operas in vogue during the
early Victorian era, the Bohemian
Girl is the one by which Balfe is
known.
The "Adagietta." for string instru-

Der from the music TO the drama

which follows is in striking contrast.
