ANARCHY ON
WAY UNLESS
CRIME HALT
That's Conclusion of Com
mittee of the American
Bar Association.
fBy Consolidated Press.l


copyright, 1922, by The ArgusD
washington. March 11.-Crime in
the United States has reached ap-
palling proportions and unless
checked will soon carry the nation
/, 10 anarchy. Such is the conclusion
If Eve of the leading members OF
the American Bar association ap-
pointed as a committee to inquire
into the cause of the present crime
wave and suggest a remedy. Five
urime reasons have been advanced
10 the committee as the cause of
the present crime wave:
First. that the crime wave is the
natural outgrowth of the war.
Second, that the crime wave, IN
stead of being an outgrowth OF the
war. is merely one of the causes
which led to the war and which is
continuing, in aggravated form,
after the war has ended
Third, a growing belief on the
part of the masses throughout the
country that the courts are only for
the rich and deny justice to the
poor. with the resultant tendency
on the part of the poor man TO take
the law into his own hands.
Fourth, that the trouble is large
" with the members of the bar
themselves. Many men practicing
law today, the committee has been
told, ought to be in Jail instead.
Fifth, that conviction for crime
in the courts is difficult and that
the criminal, once convicted, is not
punished sufficiently to deter 9TH
ers from repeating his offense.
The committee, consisting of w.
B. Swaney OF Chattanooga, Tenn; !;
former Governor Charles S. Whit
man of New York: Judge Marcus
A. Kavanaugh of Chica go; Charles
". Farnham of St. Paul. and Wade
Z. Ellis of this city, having con-
GUIDED a session at Mr.. Ellis Of
fee here. is to meet again shortly
to devise a program of relief from
present conditions. They base their
conclusions on first hand investiga-
ton and upon scores of communi-
cations, written and verbal from
criminologists throughout the Unit
ed States.
Startling Figures.
The committee has uncovered
sensational testimony. For in
stance, it has found that within the
last four years crime in Cleveland,
Ohio, has increased more than 800
per cent, according to Mr.. Ellis,
spokesman for the meeting. 1t has
found, through Judge Kavanaugh,
that the arrests for crime in the
city of Chicago in one year exceed
such arrests throughout all Great
Britain.
-In Chicago. for instance" Mr..
Ellis said today. Judge Kavan-
augh found that within a single
year there were 119 arrests for
criminal assault. Now the city of
Chicago has a population about
equal to that of the province of
Quebec. In that province there
has been but one arrest for Grim
inal assault-and that one arrest
covered a period of 65 years.
We have been told" Mr.. Ellis
continued, that there is in Chi
cago a band of pickpockets who
engage counsel with an annual re-
tainer to defend their members.

GENOA MAY now

London, March II. - The Daily
Mail today says that the refusal of
the United States to participate III
the Genoa conference so greatly de
prives the conference of importance
that some doubt is felt in political
circles whether it will be held at all
and that its abandonment may be
only question of days.
The newspaper adds that by
Americas abstention the conference
loses any utility it may ever have
conceivably possessed, and de-
nounces it as a costly and grandeus
scheme for humoring the Germans
and the bolsheViki.

FARMERS UNION NET
LAST TUESDAY NIGHT

The farmers Union met ia lhc
Alternately School building Tuesday
night, March %, with a good at
tendance. and very interesting
meeting. We will have TO admit
that we have been very quie, thc
past few weeks. as the future look
ed dark for the farmer, but since
We have a good season IN the groJnd
it has put new life and new hope
in the farmer. The Union Is busy
working on pooling and mark citing
problems, which Is intended TO have
perfected in time TO market the
summer and fall crop.
But better marketing Is not All
the Union stands for; It is our de-
sire TO help build Up the community
in which we live, to build and help
build any enterprise that is for the
betterment Of the farmer and COM
munity at large. but II takes CO.
operation to accomplish great things.
We need the cooperation Of every
farmer 20 perfect our plans, that
we have under way at present. Let 5
not get discouraged if we start some
thing good and some man hat has
got more money than we comes
along and sees the good in IL, and
takes it away from Us. | fear this
is just what some good Union men
have done. Il should make Us
more determined to do something
for ourselves. The rest Of business
men are among the formers, the
reason farmers fail in cooperative
business IS because they do not
tend TO it, they just trust II to the
other fellow, confidence and busi-
ness, / am sorry to say, viii not
prosper together SO let's get to-
gether and tend 20 business, and II
that will not work we will have
confidence later.-Abernathy Re-

Demands Upon the Red Cross at This
Place Much Heavier This Year Than
Common-Funds Practically Depleted

Certainly trained secretary rs more
Gamble Of handling the charitable
eases of the town than someone who
has not had any experience along
this line. And the Red Cross, by
their system of investigation can
more readily find the eases that
really need help, and guard against
the "Panhandler.'
Unless some plan is devised IN
the very near future for the IL
nancing of this organization, they
must necessarily close up the shop,
which we cannot afford to have
done. As long as such an organi-
cation is able to do good and serve
humanity il should be fostered and
encouraged. 1t certainly cannot
outgrow its usefulness as long as
there are manned soldiers, sickness,
especially tuberculosis and the poor
and needy with us. One has only
to visit the hospitals now where are
housed the human wreckage of the
recent war, to be convinced that the
Red Cross activities are necessary
in any community Lubbock has
many instances where Red Cross
money can be used to help those IN
need, and any sentiment advanced
for the disbanding Of this organi--
cation should not be entertained
for one minute.
William G. McAdoo recently paid
the following tribute TO the Amer
lean Red Cross: "The American Red
Cross is the greatest humanitarian
organization evolved by any ma
ton and needs no further tribute.
Also to the American Womanhood:
THAT they are behind the work Of
the American Red Cross is tri-
butte, not only TO that organization,
but to themselves
The Red Cross work cannot stop
and the good citizenship Of Lubbock
will not let 1t stop. When the facts
are put before them, they will will
ingly and without hesitation open
up their hearts TO this organization
with any financial aid needed. That
Is the spirit of Lubbock and her
people. Let's go for the Red Cross.

A SUCCESSFUL METHOD TO
CONTROL SOIL BLOWING

A method to control soil blowing
has been very satisfactory, and has
been adopted by the farmers Of
Kansas. This method has been
worked out by the United States
Department Of Agriculture and the
Kansas State Agricultural College.
The limited rainfall in that part Of
the state causes the farmers TO suf-
fer from this soil blowing.
The method adopted to prevent
the blowing consists Of running a
lister burrows at intervals Of about
twenty feet az right angle to meet
prevailing winds. The burrows need
to be renewed occasionally, and II
the weather IL unusually dry and
windy new lister burrows should be
run between the first ones. Sin
farmers IN this section tried out
this method on $50 acres and cut
wheat on this land from ten TO
twenty bushels 10 the acre. while
the wheat In other fields Of their
own and their neighbors were com
pletely destroyed.

RADIOPHONE AGENCY

A demonstration station will be

II works, and will take special pains
in showing parties who are inter-
ested in the workings Of the ma
chinery.
The daily market will be broad
casted over the country and daily
news will be sent out from the
larger cities Of the nation.

Last fall, through the efforts Of
some Of our public spirited citizens,
who realized the necessity and OPP
portunity for work along charitable
lines, took II upon themselves 10
raise funds for the purpose OF es-
tablishing work Of that KIND.
Something like $1,000 was raised, a
competent secretary was employed,
office space was secured in the court
house, and Red Cross chapter was
organized, and work was begun inn
mediateiy.
III YOU have never been around
a Red Cross office, you don't know
what experiences are yet before
YOU. There are problems there with
which the secretary has to contend
that cannot be handled except by a
trained official. Pleas Of all kinds
are handled, covering anything from
the loss of a limb or an eye during
the last war, to the actual deadbeat
who has no occupation but Pan
handling" Not long ago a lady
came into the office of the secre-
tary wanting help, saying that her
nuAOHDU niu ltlt iAti III WV Va 49,
hotels. and she had no way to make
her living or way cut of town. IN
vestigation was made of her at the
hotel. and It was found that this
man refereed to and his wife had
lust checked out and bought then
railroad tickets TO some other point,
and had probably sent her around
for lump to help in their eXpens-
es. Many cases Of this kind, upon
leaving references for investigation,
do not return for further aid.
During the past year, under such
stringent financial conditions the
chapter has been trying to work
under smaller budget, and have
had more than twice the number OF
calls for help that are really needy
eases. A few days ago, IN the
rounds of the secretary a case was
found in the eastern part OF town
in which "a family was found IN
hovel that was absolutely not fit
in a sanitary way for the occnpa-
tion of hogs OF cattle. A family OF
eight was sick iu one little house
with barely floor space enough for
them TO find room on the floor.
nine-day old baby was IN the arms
of the mother, who had had no
medical aid whatever, and had not
had a decent meal in several days
There were four children in the
family IN the scholastic age who
had never had day OF schooling
None Of them had clothes enough
to cover their bodies. Through the
Red Cross they We're fitted out
with clothes and given something
TO eat. You say Oh, this IS MOTH
ing that concerns me. fOu are
wrong again, for after person
stays in the county for certain
length Of time, they are county
charges if they are unable TO sup
port themselves and il is up to the
county or city to at least see that
they do not starye 20 death. ms
is lust one case out of many hun
dreds with which the Red Gross IS
confronted daily, and they are all
cases that are in dire need.
The Red Gross is today confront
ed with the problem Of short IL
nances. II the work is 70 be car
ried on in the efficient way IN
which it is now carried on, some
thing must be done A deficit Of
about $4,000 a month for the rest
Of the year must be met m some
way. II in no other way, the city
and county have certain amount
which they spend annually for this
purpose, let's appropriate a part OF
that for the use Of the Red Cross
