FREAK LEGISLATION

o The speaker OF the New Hampshire Icgis-
laturc is making war upon freak legislation,
n similar war could be carried on TO adyant-
age in most legislative bodies.
Four bills recently introduced i'll the New
Hampshire legislature were the Immediate
causes of the speakers ire One proposed to
make eight hours of sleep compulsory for
everybody. Another provided Tor the ap-
pointment of commission to investigate all
homes to determine if they were happy y
third provided that no womau should marty
her grandnlothcrS son. The fourth ordaii-
ed that the Ku kluX Nlan must call no meet
incs unless authorized by the l;fcagle.
These measures arc 40 mere freakish than
many which have been proposed and passed
in some state or Other, CT at best have been
the subject OF timc-Wast;@S discussion be
fore they were thrown OFT. rs the people
generally take more interest in public affairs
there is a growing tendency 10 have the
Jaw" OH everything and everybody, and the
amount OF i-iudscd legislation proposed on
every hand increases accordingly.
1t is time some one arose to check the
stream There arc too many vital matters
which can and should be subjects OF leSls-

WHAT GERMANS HAVE PAID

1t is often said by the French, and re-
pcated by .Amcricaus, that Germany has paid
practically nothing" in the way OF repara-
tons since the war. The Germans say they
have paid more than $S,OO0000000.
4 compilation made in London, for the
New York World, from reports OF the Re
parations Commission, gives these figures:
German indemnity payments iii cash and
in goods. up to the end OF last November,
amounted to 7,7OOOo0OOO gold marks or
about ST, 0OOOO0OO0 In addition, it is said
that there should be rcckoued about $50
100000 taken over by the Niles in clear
mo OF private debts. about S565 100000 &c
ccjycd in the form oi paper marks reqtisi-
toned by the armies OF occupation for use
as currency or paid to them for expenses,
and Sl1.OOO000 Tor expenses of The allied
commission. That makes altogether nearly
$2,500000000.
1t is Just is we'll to keep these facts IN
mind ill Judging the merits OF the Frauco-
German controversy. The Germans have
by no means paid what they claim to have
paid or ought to have paid. They have
lodged. Shirked and eyadcd, But bad as
their record is they have really paid sub
stantial sums, and the French got more out OF
them by peaceful methods than they seem
likely to get by force.

NEW YORK, November 2S.-Rail-
road car shops in many sections are
reducing their forces. This however,
is believed to be only a seasonal cur
tailment due to the rapid progress Of
repair work during the year and the
improvement recorded in rolling stock
and equipment. More than 5000 men
are temporarily idle in western Penn
sylvan!a due to the closing of the
Pennsylvania shops, but it is conf
IDENTIFY expected that many will be re-
turned to work shortly after De-
cember /.
The New York, New Haven and
Hartford road is expected to lay Off
400 shopmen at it's Readville, Mass,
plant until January 1. In the north
west railroad shops have cut opera
tions generally TO five-day-a-week
schedule. The st. Paul road which
cut It's shop forces 40 per cent, ia
an exception, but that reduction, it
has been assured, is temporary. Ex-
ecutives have declared that normal
forces Will be employed on the north
west road after January l.
One fact which should be taken in
to careful consideration in regard to
railroad equipment Is that the ella ss
one roads up to November ] discarded
1882 cars more than they purcha ed,
i'll spite of the heavy orders which
kept car shops active throughout the

HIGH COURT DROPS
TRADE BOARD SUIT
Finds Wholesaler Breaks No
Law in Ending Dealing
With Manufacturer.

A wholesaler can, without violating
any law, give notice to a manufac-
turer that he will discontinue deal
ing with him unless the manufacturer
ceases selling directly to retailers
in the wholesalers territory or pays
him a regular wholesalers commits
sion on such business.
This was demonstrated yesterday
as representing the views of the Su-
preme Court in its hearing of u case
brought by the Federal Trade Com
mission against Raymond Brothers
Clark Company of Nebraska. After
counsel for the government had con-
cluded his argument, the court.
which had poured upon him a food
of questions. was so satisfied that the
practice complained of by the COM
mission was not in violation Of law
that It refused to hear counsel for
the Raymond Brothers-Clark Com
pany.
The case presented trade ques-
tion of unusual interest to manu-
facturers. wholesalers and retailers.
The Federal Trade Commission
charged that the Raymond Brothers
Clark Company, wholesalers, had no.
unless it ceased selling directly TO
the Basket Stores Company of Ne
braska and Iowa. retailers. or gave
1t the regular wholesale discount on
all business with the Basket Stores
Company. II would discontinue doing
business with the manufa cturer. The
commission insisted that this conSti-
tuted unfair competition and was in
violation of the Federal Trade Com
mission act
After developing by a series OF
questions that it was not contended
by the government that the Raymond
Brothers-Clark Company had entered
an unlawful ombination or conspir-
acy to restrain trade by the notice
it had given the manufacturer, the
court did not consider the govern
ment's case warranted the hearing of
the other side.
During the questioning of govern
ment counsel members of the court
expressed the view that a merchant
had the right to decide for himself
with whom he desired to do business
and that in the case presented by the
government the manufacturer had
been given complete freedom TO de-
eide whether he would continue to
sell directly 10 the Basket Stores
Company or would accept the terms
offered him by the Raymond Broth
ers-Clark Company.

SHIP fewer HOGS,
STOCK MAN URGES
Delay Would Boost Prices SO Per
Ton on Cheapest Food
in America"
By the Associated Press.

ny the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, November aS.--Overload-
ing of the terminal markets by un-
restricted shipping of hogs will in
evitably be followed by a correspond
ing shortage after February. Everett
c. Brown, president of the National
Livestock Exchange, declared here.
and predicted that if farmers hold
back one third of what they would
have shipped hog prices will advance
a least So in the next sixty or ninety
days. His statement follows:
Hog meat is the cheapest food
product in America. Commission men
all over the United States regret that
The farmers all over the United States
are sacrificing their hogs at prevail
ing ruinous prices. when there Is such
u bright prospect in 1924. The Ma
tional Livestock Exchange has caused
a survey to be made of the hogs in
the south and southeast.
Reliable reports from unquestion-
cd authorities indicate a hog short
age in the south and southeast of
25 to so per cent under last year.
There is a shortage of hogs in Can
ada as is shown by the same quality
of hogs selling in Canada at $3.50 as
sold in st. Paul today under Sc. and
as sold in Chicago at $40 to $3.50.
Is there any reason why hogs should
be selling So per hundred lower in
the United States than they are across
the border in Canada?
The farmers themselves are the
only ones that can correct this If
they feel that they must ship some
or most of the hogs they have on
hand. 1 strongly urge them to hold
third of what they would have
shipped If they do this, l will guar
antee that hogs have struck bottom
for this winter and that there will be
a steady advance in the next sixty to
ninety days that will give us at least
a two-dollar advance in prices.
AN advancing hog market will
bring more prosperity, not only to
the farmers, but to every industry
that has to sell their manufactured
products to the farmer than the ad-
vance on any other farm product. and
I do not hesitate to tell the farmers
at this time that there is a strong
demand for all kinds of hog meats,
both on foreign and domestic accounts
and that the packers themselves feel
that hogs are low enough and would
rather see lighter receipts and an ad-
vancing market than to see a panicky Y
condition and farmers selling their
hogs regardless of cost"
