Chicken Law.

eve are being bothered by our
neighbours chickens" comes a call
from Chatham street, 'What can we
do about it ?" A we'll known attorney
when a similar question was put to
him said, "There is no state law
against allowing chickens to run at
large but if | were bothered I'd pot
every one that came into my yard and
take chance with the law. I'd ask
for jury trial and there isn't jury
that would bring in verdict of gull
ty." Chicken owners do not seem to
to realize the mischief fowls can do
at this time. The other day we were
called to view premises where chick
ems had scratched the ,mulching leaves
from bulb beds. The ground not be-
ing frozen the hens had scratched up
and destroyed the bed that had cost
several dollars to plant. There is
bill before the Legislature to put hens
in the same class as other domestic
creatures which are restricted from
running at large. 1t is to be hoped
that this bill will become law. 1t is
hard to understand why owners of
chickens are so thoughtless Of the
rights of others. Chickens are a per-
ennial source of neighbor rows and the
blame is all on the side of the owner
Of the chickens. 1t is unauthorized
selfishness and meanness that actuates
the owners Of chickens in permitting
them to run at large. Neighbors try
to keep up their property, lay out
lawns and plant flower gardens but
one man in the neighborhood thinks he
has the right to feed his fowls on 9TH
err mems property. They should be
treated as the gardener treats bugs,
slugs, worms and other things that
bring destruction to the garden. 1t is
time the chickens were locked up

of their cargoes and passengers. 1t
maintains standards of weights and
measures, it administers the light
house service, it assists in the en-
forcement of the food and drugs act.
1t gathers and distributes information
concerning industries and markets
abroad, and under this head it makes
use of the consular service and main
tains special representatives in for
eign fields who, expert in their lines,
conduct detailed and specialized in
vestigation, which are published as
reports or monographs. There would
hardly seem to be any wide opportunl-
ty here for the exercise Of Mr.. Hoov-
er's acknowledged talents. An I'M
friendly critic might even say that he
had been shelved, where his influence
is not likely to make trouble for any
elements in the party that happen to
be less progressive than he is.
Yet Mr.. Hoover is not altogether a
stranger to this kind of situation. He
has been in places, before this, where
his capabilities have seemed to be con-
siderabIy broader than his immediate
opportunities. Usually he has not al
lowed this sort of thing to be much of
a limitation. He has gone straight
ahead, to make as much as possible of
his opportunity, apparently trusting
that the opportunity would expand as
soon as the work should catch up with
it. He has shown a marked capacity
for intensive development of any posi-
ton in which he has accepted an obli-
cation. Presumably he will not do diff
ferently now. Practically everybody
will be glad to have him in the cabi-
net somewhere. If he does what the
majority Of the people in the country
apparently expect him to do, he will
find a, way to perform big service, in
big way, even among the apparent
littlenesses of the commerce secretary
ship. If he is allowed to do the best
that he is capable Of doing with the
duties of this position, he can find
mans work there in spite of all the
routine. One thing to be recognized
is that he knows the major subject
of the job as few others know it.

his time was extended as far as he
wanted, and at the end of his time he
was given vote of thanks by the COM
mittee with the compliment that he
had given the committee more infor-.
nation than any other witness that
had appeared before it. In box of
exhibits he had samples of $4,000 COM
modities produced from peanuts, about
one-half the number of things he had
developed. There were four kinds of
stock feed, five breakfast foods, new
flavoring, substitute for coffee,
mock oysters, meat substitutes milk
that contains the same properties as
cows milk, cream curds, cheese, three
relishes, two grades of flour, and two
of meal, vanishing cream for wo-
men, inks and stains, etc. all produced
from the lowly peanuts. 1t was an
epic in the development of American
industry. Incidently he stated that
peanuts and sweet potatoes in them
selves are balanced ration and if ev-
cry thing else on earth were destroyed
they would satisfy the demands of
man and beast.-Sioux Falls Argus.

Stop 1t Now, Congress!

Arthur Sears Henning is writing
series of dispatches from Washington
for The Journal, touching on all phas-
es of the tax and revenue problems
of the Government, and the series
promise to be an interesting exposi-
tion of the most exigent public prob
lem we have just now, one that con-
Germs every man and household intim-
ately.
1t is agreed that the burden of tax
alton is too heavy, so extortionate in
deed as adversely to affect the gener-
al good 1t is agreed that the ex-
penses of the Federal Government are
much too large. The ordinary mind
would suppose that. such being the
ase, cutting off the unnecessary and
excessive expenditures of Govern
ment, would remedy the too heavy
taxation-easy ard simple as that the
way to reduce four to two is to sub
tract two from four.
And in reality something like that is
the case Yet practically to do so,
turns out to be difficult Or well
nigh impossible Performance. The
remedy looks simple, but is complex.
Common sense ought to be sufficient
to work the cure, but when it comes
to doing anything, all Washington
stands baffled, stopped by its own con-
seriousness of Illustration as it were.
Is there any simple way? The late
Senator Aldrich said decade ago that
application of ordinary business meth
! DDS would save the Government three
hundred million dollars a. year, about
third of the then annual eXpendl-
ture A Senator today says that five
/ hundred millions a year could be saved
by similar means.
I Here. is what " the most acute gov
eminent financier in the House OF
Representatives" according to George
Wheeler Human, says:
If Congress would go to work.
frankly and resolutely, without any
reservations, and cut off all govern
ment expenditures that do not bring
/ results. there would be nothing to
discuss with the efficiency experts.
Enough is known now about waste ano
/ duplication in the departments to keep
the House busy for whole session
merely wiping out needless approprl-
ations and reducing extravagant estl-
mates. 1t is not information or inge-
nulty or business aDlilCy tndI we ldch
There is plenty of all three in Con-
gress. What is lacking is moral cour-
age to tackle the job, regardless OF
constituents and elections.
Mr.. Human estimates that the Fed
eral Government costs the average
/ American family nearly two hundred
and fifty dollars year. An item OF
that cost is illustrated by this fact,
The Redwood gazette. [volume] (Redwood Falls, Minn.) 1873-1940, 1921-03-30

that in one government bureau young
women have occupied their working
time, for which the Government pays
them, by making their wedding out
fits.
1t is not more light upon the sub
ject, more profound cogitation, more
exhaustive investigation, more COM
missions and reports, that are requir-
ed, nor more information, ingenuity,
business ability. More moral courage,
common sense decision, up-and-doing
such is all that Congress needs to
save hundreds of millions-not next
year or God knows when, but now, i'm
this year.
There is no mysterious hokum about
the business and no financial marve-
lous working of miracles required.
Stop it, that is all! Stop it now, at
once! And, having stopped it, keep
it stopped Minneapolis journal.

likely to make him a factor in deter
mining any question of great impor-
lance that may come before the new
administration.
Considered offhand, the duties of
the secretary of commerce would seem
to be of rather humdrum sort. Their
suggestion is rather of routine admin
istration than of new departures. The
department is charged with promot-
ing commerce, also with aiding the
mining, manufacturing, shipping, fish
cries and transportation interests. 1t
has charge of the taking of the census
and the collection and publication of
many kinds Of statistical information
It looks after the coast and geodetic
survey, and the inspection of steam
boats. It has jurisdiction over mer-
chant vessels, including the movement
