TOO MUCH PROTECTION NOW

With certain changes that will rem
der a conference with the House neces-
sary, the Senate has passed the emer-
gency tariff measure which was given
considerable support on the specious
plea that it would be of benefit to the
farmers of the nation. In truth it does
impose prohibitive rates on certain a.
gricultural products. but some of these
commodities are articles that we ex-
port rather than import. How the
farmer is to benefit under any such ar
rangement. it is beyond us to see or
understand.
Certain Southern Democrats in both
houses voted for the emergency meas
ure, because it imposes a tariff on SUI
gar and some grades of long staple cot
ton. Now, it is possible that the sugar
growers may get some benefit through
increased prices, but the cotton farm
er should not entertain any false hopes.
The truth is that the measure also inn
poses a heavy import tax on cotton
manufactures, and this makes it GER
tain that the textile men will be the
chief beneficiaries. They will be al
lowed to dictate not only the selling
price of cotton goods, but also to a
large extent the buying price Of raw
cotton, and it is not to be expected that
they will be any too kindly with the
grower.
One Democrat-Senator Jones Of
New Mexico-tried unsuccessfully to
get tariff on hides. He was support
ed by his Republican colleague, Sen
ator Bursum, who declared that cat

UPHOLD FREE. SPEECH RIGHT

Hartford. Conn.-The Connecticut
state supreme court has set aside an
ordinance which provides that a per-
son must secure a permit from city au-
thorities before he can speak on the
public streets. A man refused to COM
ply with this ordinance, passed by the
city of Meridian, and was arrested and
fined SIS. In reversing the judgment
the court held that the overwhelming
weight Of authorities in the state courts
is that statutes and ordinances purport-
ing to give officials absolute control
of permission is unconstitutional.
The ordinance, the court said, at
tempts to confer on the chief of po-
lice the right to determine in advance
what persons might or might not ex-
ercise the privilege free speech or
what subjects might publicly be dis
cussed.
The decision is contrary to rulings
by courts in Western Pennsylvania that
have upheld similar ordinances that
are used to stop meetings Of trade un-
ionists in steel towns.

cADDO DEMONSTRATION FARM

Plans for 40-acre demonstration
farm near Shreveport to demonstrate
to the people at home and strangers
from Other sections Of the country the
possibilities of the rich Red River val
ley soil, should meet with the approx
al of. all citizens of Caddo and Shreve-
port, says the Shreveport Times.
The enterprise is not to be an exper-
.5nental farm, but demonstration
tract. 1t is not to endeavor to find
what the soil will produce, but to show
what the land in this section of the
countryeactually grows with a profit to
the producer.
The results should be interesting and
open. the eyes of both resident and
stranger to the wonderful possibilities
of the soil of Caddo and North Louis
lana.
Louisiana is primarily an agricultur-
al state. The possibilities of farming
are mexhaustlble. thousands of acres
are lying waste which should be un-
der cultivation.
There have been well-defined caus-
es for the suspension Of agricultural
effort, but these causes may soon be
removed. One Of the chief causes for
agricultural troubles has been the
movement from the farm to the city.
But there is a reverse movement and
this favorable condition will be inten-
sified through a practical and visual
demonstration that farming is profit
able.
Another cause, produced by the re-
adjustment, namely, low prices for

Of Louisiana live I4I0 Of the 37,272

cording to blind persons per 100000
population and of the above number,
554 are white and $50 negroes; $50
Of the whites are native born and Is

there are now 65 blind persons being
cared for in Louisiana institutions.
Among other interesting data con
tanned in the Committees statement re-
garding the blind is the fact that of
1921 cases Investigated in this coun-
try, 1900 of that number were born
without sight, and of these. 700 were
the offspring of parents who welded
first cousins. Of the total blind popu-

declaration is entirely in line with
similar statement made by another
senator to the effect that lambs on the

price that is demanded in an up-to-date

Facts Of this sort ought to be SER

z Wednesday, May l8-As an Old
timer says, times are picking up down
here, and our business is rushing to
such an extent that it almost keeps a
fellow going sideways to keep from
flying. This morning the kiddoos and
] went goat 'herding. We bought a
! lot of goats and drove them to the
dairy ranch, where they are being fenc-
ed in and used as land clearers. Sew
eral of the fellows are making the
fence job in order to keep mister goat
confined, so that he viii not get the
goat of the dairy crew. Haynes, Nash,
and Rechsteiner are working at the
dipping vat putting in the forms for
the plunge which is to be built of con-
crete. The stump pulling crew finish
ed the main parts of the big field and
have started to piling and burning the
stumps in order to get the field ready
for crop to be planted. This is some
OF our best corn ground; and, unless
railroad rates go down little, we will
sure eat more corn bread next winter
than usual. We have a comrade here
who has more than car load of corn
in New Mexico that he would give us.
But the freight rates are so high that
it would cost us more to ship it here
than the corn cost. The same con
dition obtains in regard to car load
