The following is from Sweets
message to the legislature. and

warehouses:
recommend that the STATE
either loan the necessary funds
to cooperate marketing associs-

low rate of interest; providing
for the amortization Of the prin.
cipal over q long period of years.
or that the state build or pur-
chase ware houses outright and
lease them to the associations on
satisfactory terms.
Such a plan has been approved
by some Of the ablest financiers
of the country. The state Of
Louisiana owns large grain and

Censoring
The Newspapers

Elsewhere we are telling of
efforts in Ohio to censor the
movies.
We are inclined to believe
that national censorship. if put
in the hands of sane men and
women and not cranks, would
be a good thing; but at the
same time shere is no more
crying need of movie censorship
than of newspaper censorship
of the big dailies.
But IN censoring either of
them, just where to draw the
line would be one Of the most
haz ,rdous undertakings any
board ever had on its hands.
There isn't any question that
there is too much of the immor.
al. repulsive and nauseating in
both. but whether a censoring
board is the thing that diff
fersnt.
