STOPPING OBSTRUCTION

A move has been made in the
United States Senate TO end the OBJ
structlon of legislation by dilatory
procedure, through a rule permitting
debate to be closed by majority vote,
instead of two thirds as now Many
people will feel that such rule
would impose the gag upon legisla,
tors, and be used as means for rush.
ing through many arbitrary acts.
Yet the country suffers more from
the failure to get good laws passed,
than from the effort of bad laws.
A vast mass of business is submitted
to Congress each year that never
gets any attention. Many useful
measures are suggested that can't be
got through because you cant get
Congress to consider them,
Congressman are much inclined to
dodge action. IL they believe at
heart that proposition is bad
thing, they do not always dare oppose

FARM BUREAU DAY

In another column of this issue is
the report of big celebration to be
officially designated as Farm Bureau
Day and to be held under the direct.
ion OF the Graham County Farm
Bureau in cooperation with the Com.
mercial Club of Stafford.
The object of the fiesta will be, as
we understand i, a general get to
gether' for all the farmers of the
valley to renew what is being, has
been, and will be done among them
during the past and coming few
months.
This is an occasion which we feel
can be of material benefit to all con
cerned If proper cooperation is given
to the movement and will result not
only in a day of pleasure to be we'll
remembered, both instrueting and
educational, but will tend to improve
the morale of the people.
In trying times such as we are
going through il seems to be a natur-
al tendency to retrench not only in
financial way in the matter of un-
necessary expense, but we seem to
loose heart and do not take the same
interest in community welfare and
Improvement that such enthusiasm
Is demonstrated in times OF prosper
ity.
At the same time in times Of pros
perity we enthuse not over the fact
that we have such fine valley but
more because hay is selling at such
and such price and grain is bring
ing record breaking returns.
A celebration such as is now con
templated brings home the fact that
we are living in very wonderful
little valley, a substantial future is
assured. and that all we need to do
is to have confidence in our normal |
conditions and keep our commercial |
activities going to the fullest extent |
that can consistently be done and we
will be able to see a surprising |
brighter outlook than we think we
see In morbid contemplation,
theoretical contemplation, of hard |
times.
This should be day in which
everyone will return home after a
day of enjoyment; and, having talk
ed and listened to your neighbors in
reviewing and exchanging ideas real
ize how good" times really are com
pared to many yes, great many
