About Stock Laws

Maynard, August 27.-As you have
invited correspondence on different sub.
jects, a number of people in Little
Black and Richardson townships have
asked me to give write-up on the stock
law proposition in Missouri. We have
4-wire fence law which we all like.
Under this law horses and cattle run
out, keeping the wood open and the
weeds out of the roads. If we, in my
opinion, had a general stock law here
in two or three years the woods would
be so thick Of underbrush that the
wolves and fox would be so numerous
that we could neither raise pigs or
chickens. / favor a 4-wire law.
Our stock pastures are worth this
fence upkeep. l would keep my farm
fenced with 4-wire If we had n general
stock law. believe the people over
the county would much prefer the 4
wire fence after considering the propo-
sition. l would support a law of this
kind, while l am opposed to a general
stock law. For different persons,
widows and orphans, under a general
stock law, would have to do without
milk and butter and most families
would do the same. While the 4-wire
fence would give the cows range and
therefore milk and butter.-G. W.

A WORD no GOV. SMITH

THE managers OF Governor
Smiths presidential candidacy are
reported to be cndeavOring to in
duce the New York Democrats in
Congress to support the McNary-
Iiaugen bill in order to win mid
western votes for Governor Smith
in the Democratic National con-
ventiOn.
There is something like despera-
ton among the proponents of this
measure for creation of a 5000, O00,-
COO corporation to dump American
farm products abroad. The bill is
near defeat. It's congressional
supporters privately admit that the
they declare they must enact it in
order to save their faces with their
constituents. And now it is de-
cldred that Tammany Hall is seek
ing bargain whereby votes in
Congress would be traded for votes
in the convention.
Governor Smith must know that
the McNary- iiaugen bill is a pre-
tense, as hollow as loving cup.
He must know that there is only.
one kind of farm relief bill which
is justifiable by the laws of eco
Monies. and that that kind OF bill
is nothing but a subsidy, a meas
ure frankly voting a gift to needy
farmers because they need it, just
as gifts Of money have been sent
abroad because Europe has need
ed it.
These facts must he well known
to Governor Smith, for he is man
of intelligence. AS governor OF
New York, he has demonstrated 4
knowledge of how TO exercise his
great power. He has given an eff
ticient administration which has
Won praise throughout the state
and which has put him among the
leading contenders for the Demo-
cratic presidential nomination.
The trust of the business commun-
ily of New York State is one of his
principal assets.
He would be throwing this trust
to the winds, he would be depriv-
ing himself of the opportunity to
win the trust OF the entire Amer
lean business community, if he per-
mitted his managers to make such
a trade as is reported.
With the death of Charles F.
Murphy, Governor Smith is the
real ledaer of Tammany Hall. If
Tammany Democrats now vote for
the McNary Haugen bill. which
admittedly would impose an addi-
tional burden of at least billion
dollars upon the American con-
sumers, Governor Smith will be
held largely esponsible.-Chicago
