EUROPEAN CORN BoRER

Commissioner Of Agriculture
Frank P. washburn is to be COM
mended for the active part he took IN
opposing the cutting of Of tho quar-
ant,ne on areas infested with the
European corn borer and contne the
work 70 certain sections, where the
pest had recently appeared Such
action would leave Maine entirely
unprotected and all the work that
has been done to protect this State
from one Of the most destructive in
sects known would soon prove use
less. Commissioner Washhurn's
strong opposition to such q course
carried much weight at the confer
ence held last week in washington OF
commissioners and representatives
from all parts Of the country with
tho Federal Horticultural Board.
The hearing or conference was
called on account OF a new infesta-
ton of the pest recently found along
tho Southern shore of Lake Erie. ex-
tending westward to within 60 miles
of the Indiana border. 1t was
claimed that with the great corn belt

funds rapidly growing less. a region
al system in the work would be BEST
thus giving up the quarantine Of in
tested areas and permitting move
ment Of possible carriers Of the pest
within the region but not to places
outside.
Tho conference strongly opposed
the change ana appointed a COM
mittee to present their views to Sec
rotary Wallace. They also voted to
urge the government to appropriate
S275,O 900 for continuing the work in
the infested states and assured the
government ofdcials that money 80
appropriated would be matched dol
lar for dollar by the several states.
Tue members Of the board indicaA
Cd that they wene in substantial
agreement with the plan to continue
tho quarantine control OF the Euro
pean corn borer along the present
lines and to extend 1t to include the
newly infested area and that they
would recommend such action to
Secretary Wallace, together with the
recommendation that Congress be
asked to appropriate the necessary
funds.
Maine earnestly hopes that that
will be tho result. Commissioner
washburn has certainly done his
part toward accomplishing It

About the Bonus, Etc.
(Houston Post)

When the question of soldier bonus
comes up. it is we'll enough to re-
member that the former service men
who were disabled and really needed
financial help have not Jared so bad
ly. The director Of the war veterans
bureau is authority for the statement
that the Government has already paid
more than s2s,000,000 in insurance,
over s33,0o0,00O in compensation and
more than s26.ooo.000 in training al
lowances, making a total of around
$Ss,00o,OOo0 the disabled men have re-
ceived. This is nothing more than
right. They should be adequately
provided for, and not one of them
should be allowed to suffer for
necessities. or for the chance to again
become self sustaining. But, in the
meantime, the men who were not i'm
paired by their war service can wait
for a more propitious time in the
country's finances for whatever ad-
justment of their compensation may
be due them. The service men them
selves doubtless coincide in this senti-
ment.

A Law That Makes for LawIessness.

A Law That Makes for lawIessness.
New York World)
I'VE cannot allow open violation Of
any specific law" says Prohibition
Commissioner Haynes. without
abetting the spirit of anarchy, which
eventually will hold all law in con-
tempt and disrepute. Every sign that
points to the evasion of disregard Of
the Eighteenth Amendment IS on the
highroad Of anarchy and lawless-
ness" With all this the World can
entirely agree.
There is only one escape from the
application Of this logic-the repeal
Of the Volstead Act and the Mullan-
Gage Act and the substitution Of laws
which men will obey. The Volstead
Act has not been enforced and cannot
be enforced. It was Herbert Spencer
who pointed out years ago that by
association with laws that cannot be
enforced the laws that can be en-
forced lose their authority. Before
the Civil War there was a fugitive
slave law that could not be enforced
in the North. and the Southern
planters predicted that all govern
ment would go to ruin in the country
if the laxity regarding this statute
continued. Not only were the slaves
not caught or returned. but in the
end slavery itself was abolished.
