finished about that distants behind
the other horses and he did not
know that the race had ever started
they talk about horse sense.
Going back to the dear old crino-
line days as Irving Berlin has nick
named them, why we had horse once
in Niles. Mich. named Dolly who you
would hitcn her up to the buggy and
say get up because you wanted to go
some place and you would set there
and say get up several times and
she would still be standing there and
Ii you waited long enough you would
not get nowheres because she would
not move as she did not know what
get up meant That is as much
sense as horse has got Even a
senator knows what get up means.
Dolly was dead long before the
great war as / call it but IL she had
of been alive after it started 1 sup
pose I could of made her get up by
playing the Star Spangle Banner but
in those days horses did not know
the words let alone the tune.

All and all friends mean that it
is just a confusion Of terms that
don't mean nothing because horses
certainly don't have no sense and

CONGRESSMEN AND HORSE SENSE
Ring Lsrdner Mikes Reply to Magnus Johnson.

-O the Editor: I was reading
/. peace in the paper the other
day in regards to this here
Magnus Johnson that was
recently elected senator to the u.
IS. from Minnesota and it said
that Mr.. Johnson thought that the
troubles with most men sent to
Washington was that they. had too
much refinement and culture,
And in the second place he says
that they are too few men sent to
congress that has got enough horse
sense.
Well friends what about this here
horse sense? Well not Dragging
good many OF them suppose to be
above the average horses and sup
pose to have horse sense and my
smallest son has got more sense
than any horse / ever seen SO when
the new senator from Minnesota
claims he has got horse sense or he
wishes they was more senators had
same. why all 1 got to say is that
If this country was ran by a bunch
of horses we would be even worse
off than we got now.
x y y \
n IKE for inst. you take a horse
- which he is probably the most
famous horse that has been in
this country in the last 10 yrs. and
refer to Man o. War and he run a
lot of races and only loose one race
as far as l can remember and he win
Il of a million dollars for his
owner not includeing bets and now
he is through with the racing game
and what has he got? He aint got
nickel.
And little vile ago I was up to
Saratoga and one of Bud Fishers
horses was running named Hyperion
and the best jockey in the world
was riding same and they had not
went 10 #. when the best Jockey in
the world fell off of the horse and
Hyperion did not have enough horse
sense to wait till the Jockey got
and state that IL you had of asked
Hyperion if he knowed that the
boy who had tried to stay on him
was the best jockey in the world he
would of said neigh.
Then they was another horse who
L forget his name but any way he
was in the last race in Belmont and
he was a even money favorite and
the Lardners all bet on him and they

caused further agitation, creating a
sort of endless chain condition.
Finally the Fine Arts Commission
recommended that the government
purchase certain sproperty bordering
the south side of the Avenue for pub
lie buildings and Congress took ad-
vantage of the opportunity to settle
the market question.
| The market company land lease
was Cancelled which proves that a
| ninety mine year lease is no stronger
than it's cancellation clause, the
| building was appraised and pur-
chased for s960,250 and turned over
, to the Department of Agriculture to
operate. The department politely
passed the job along to it's bureau
of agricultural economics, formerly
| the bureau of markets, and Uncle
Sam was in the retail market busi-
ness.
The law turning the Center mar
| ket over to the Department of Agri-
culture to operate was approved
| March 4, 1921. 1t contained this i'm
portant provision:
"If at. any time the Secretary of
Agriculture is satisfied that any les
| see or the holder of any privilege in
Center market is guilty of over
charging, extortion, profiteering, or
| making any unconscionable bargain
or sale, he may, without recourse to
any judicial tribunal, cause such per-
son forthwith and summarily to- be
elected therefrom with his goods and
wares"
That provision might properly be
termed Uncle Sans hunting permit.
The only way he could determine
whether a lessee was guilty of any
of the crimes enumerated was to ex-
anime his books to learn what mis-
goods had cost him. And while ex-
amining the books Uncle Sam has
been cunning for the spread.
~ X y
THE market men, like practically
l. all business men, have been just
as anxious ais Uncle Sam to clip Mr..
Spreads wings and they have been
CO operating with the government to
the fullest extent
When a man makes application for
stand in the market he is required
to fill out blank, on which he
states the. manner in which he in
tends to conduct his business. He
also agrees to keep his books in a
prescribed manner and to submit
them for examination whenever re-
QQested to do.so by the government
Evening star., 1923-09-09

logical step and, naturally, the manu-
facturer was not helping along a sys-
tenn that might ultimately put him
on the shelf.
Cooperation among the producers,
especially the fruit growers, however,
does appear to be a success The
consumer certainly pays high
enough price for an apple or an
orange. So the consumers may be
forced to take up cooperative buy
ing seriously and put the plan
through unless business watches it's
step.
One of the most sensible steps TAX
en- by business in recent years, both
for its own and the public's good. has
been the establishment of better bust
ness bureaus. The good work that is
being done by these bureaus is being
noted by the public more. perhaps,
than business men are aware. Where
formerly the thought in the mind of
WRshingtonian when he observed a
sharp practice was that all business
men. more or less, were out to skin
the public, now he thinks 1.-The better
business bureau will get this chap if
he doesn't watch out"
A story in a recent issue of the Ma
tion's Business dealing with the work
of the better business bureau in Bos-
ton concludes with this statement:
The best way to head off unreason-
able legislation regulating business
is for business to put it's own house
in fn tf
lation is not needed"
And this brings us back to the Cen
ter market and Uncle Sans hunting
permit. The permit, it was stated.
consisted of the provision in the law
which authorized the Secretary of Ag-
riculture to forthwith and summarily
eject with his onions or his fish any
market man found profiteering.
The thirty-year clause in the mar
ket company lease expired in 1900.
The law canceling the lease and tax :
ing over the market for government
operation was passed in 1921 For
twenty years, therefore, Congress
withstood the agitation for govern
ment operation. This clause was not
mentioned with the reasons previous
ly given, but it plainly indicates why
some of the congressman voted for
the law. There was profiteering by
some business men during and follow
ing the war, and it helped force a
radical step-government operation
of retail market.
Now we have a business condition
which results in the consumer pay
ing at least five times as much for an
article of food-tomatoes for illus
tration-as the farmer who raises the
tomatoes gets. AS the President said.
this looks like too much toll for the
bridge, and it is directly up to busi-
ness itself to clip Mr.. Spreads wings.
Evening star., 1923-09-09

From his examination of the books
Uncle Sam is going to get some re-
liable information. He knows what
the farmer is getting for his produce,
he knows the freight rate, he knows
what. the consumer is paying in the
| market, he knows what the
retailer in the market is paying.
This narrows the field to the group
composed of the wholesalers, the
commission men, the jobbers. the
warehouse men and a few others
that add to the cost of our food be-
tween the producer and the retailer.
The next and, no doubt, the most
! important move in the hunt will be
to get the exact amount these men
are adding to the cost of our food.
In some respects the condition
which has developed in the business
world is similar to the condition
which has developed among the labor
| unions and among the professional
men Specialization is the vogue. 1t
is efficient. but it is also costly and
the danger lies in carrying it to
extremes.
Among the unions. for illustration,
the carpenter will not touch work
that is done by the tinsmith. The
professional men have no union, but
they are all becoming specialists and
getting sensitive about invading each
others fields.
One man, of course, cannot learn
all the trades, nor can one man be-
come an expert in all branches of
medicine. There is some reason to
the system of specialists in the trades
and professions.
But in the handling OF, our food
there seems to have developed a
number of specialists with no par
ticular economic reason for their ex-
istence except to add to the cost of
the food. 1t was with the idea of
eliminating some of this expense that
the President suggested cooperative
buying organizations among the con-
sumers. Such associations have been
formed in Washington among the
government clerks. but they have not
been success. One operated a store
on sth street.
lPT>HE next logical step would have
L been a cooperative wholesale es-
salers were not friendly. When the
store tried to deal directly with the
manufacturer IL met obstacles and
none too friendly reception. II CO.
