1t Is about time for someone t. start
a movement for legislation against in
terfering with law making bodies.
American people are constitutionally
opposed to interfering with the gov
ernment-that is, they are opposed to
the other fellow interfering, and they
are quite likely to be stampeded into
urging Legislation against lobbying.
But before going SO far it would be
wise to take a lesson from the pro-
hibition debacle. Five years ago the
national congress passed the eigh-
teenth amendment. Since then tenn
perance has gradually lost ground fol
the reason that prohibitionists began
much needed rest, while the liquor
advocates went on lobbying. Nov
the prohibitioists find that they must
get back into politics in order to save
what is left of the Vostead act,
Interference with the government
cannot be stopped by passing law,
any more than drinking can be stopped
by law. Human nature has not yet
evolved to a point where it can be
trusted to obey law because it is law.

Efforts TO swing the national council
of the Congregational church in line
with the open shop movement failed
last week when resolution fayoring
the endorsement of the open shop was
voted down at meeting of the council
in Washington, d. C.
A delegate who predicted that the
employers association of Connecticut
would be offended if the council failed
to endorse the open shop was handed
severe rebuke by one of his col.
leagues who pronounced his utterane,
the most un-Christian and un-Con.
gregationalist he had ever heard in 4
national council meeting"
A substitute for the resolution
elevated theh council to a position on
the fence by declaring for IAN honest
days labor for an donest days wage
which both employer and employe may
interpret as suits their respective
cfeeds.
1t takes a courageous church to
openly espouse the cause of labor in
a general convention. The church, like
all other institutions, disikes to incur
the distavor of its wealthy employer
class, whose financial support the
church needs to promote its missionary
enterprises. Consequently the tendency
Is to resort to platitudes so that tn,
honest workman will be satisfied anC
the wealthy employer left to manag,
his business as he pleases.
This is about as far as the cause
of Organized Labor has gotten in ma
tional conferences of clergymen. Tn,
church has said very many nice thing
about the laboring man but it has beer
careful to avoid embarrassing state
ments. Instead of saying IAN homes
days work for an honest days pay,
the Congregauonalists might hayt
said: Let Labor and capital solv,
their own problem without the med
ding interference of the church."
The Congregationalists have left u
still with the question: What is al
honest days work, A hours or 7.
hours? And what is an honest day
pay, 30 cents an hour or $1.5O al
hour? Labor and capital differ an,
the church is non-committal.

EVERYMAN'S
INVESTMENTS
EXAMPLE OF TECHNICAL CON
DITIONS.
BY. GEORGE r. nUGHES.

An interesting example of the i'm.
portance of the technical conditions
attached to certain bonds is afforded
by the case Of tho French Republic IS
due September Is. 1915. These bonds
were first issued in September, 1920,
since which time they have fiuctuated
over a range Of nearly 20 points from
the low to the high. During these
five years there has been applied an.
nually $4.400,000 to the purchase of
bonds in the open market for account
OF the sinking fund. This provision
has operated to support the market
when the price was depressed. even
though 1t has not availed to prevent
some sharp declines when the financial
affairs Of France looked most dubious.
Less than six months hence this
sinking fund will be applied In a
new manner, Instead Of buying bonds
in the market, the amount set aside
will be used to call for redemption
at least $4,O00.oo0 principal amount
to be called will be drawn by lot
and the first redemption In this way
will be on March l6. 1925. This
change in the method of employing
sinking fund moneys Is bound to be
much more effective in maintaining
the market price around the redemp.
tion figure than the way in which
they have been used up to this time.
Hereafter once a year the holder OF
French Ss has nearly one chance In
20 that his bond will be drawn for
payment at 110.
This does not guarantee that the
quotation will be held at that figure
il there should be unfavorable de-
velopments affecting French finances,
but 1t will act to prevent the fall
in market price being as great as it
would be otherwise.

California, the Pacific Northwest,
the Intermountain States and the
South still are reaoing the benefits Of
present and past advertising and show
no disposition to abandon this method
Of attracting visitors, investors and
inhabitants. A study just completed

the States into five classes. showed
California in a. class OF its own, so

Nation Put on Wheels.
Advertising experts declare that the
interesting part of this data Is that
the automobile has put the nation on
wheels at first for vacations and tours.
Then 1t dawned on most citizens
through The media of advertising that
If the Winter is cold. it is possible
to go where it is warm and if the
Summer is bot 1t can go where 1t is
cool. The result has been an i'm.
petus which has overcome Inertia
and uncovered vast field of ma ational
wealth and productivity.
Illustrating the trend which results
have produced, the Atlanta Chamber
of Commerce has launched a cam
paign to advertise the city and. will
spend S250,O00 the first year. Havana
anticipates appropriating $500. 900 to
attract Americans. The Bahamas are
following suit.
Steady Gains Noted.

cities of the country showed a gain in

papers of only four of the 80 ma jor

HUGE ADVERTISING
DR|VESPLANNED
Cities and Sections to Spend
Millions in Appeals to

BY j, C. ROYLE.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, September 3O.-Be
tween 100000 and $20,000.000 vii
be expended for municipal advertising
rhis Fall and Winter. The larger
pert OF this sum will be expended
with daily newspapers. 1t is exclu'
sive of the volume Of advertising
which the railroads will do. 1t Is also
expected to reach a total surprising
all but the most extraordinary years
since the war.
These facts were divulged today by
one OF the largest advertising agencies
of the country. which now Is figuring
on at least S3.000,00o in advertising
from Florida communities alone.
Bigger Campaign Planned.
The advertising experts of the mem
, bers OF the National Retail Dry Goods
Association, who handle the largest
volume of advertising in the world
completed today plans for increasing
the volume OF retail store newspaper
advertising through better planning
of copy and scientific budSeting.
which will be presented for action at
the meeting OF the sales promotion di-
vision of the association at Detroit
this week. Strong efforts will be
made to have newspapers establish
real service departments. conducted
IN the interests of the advertiser.
Florida Lavish With Funds.
The known appropriations from
Florida communities alone total well
above 81. 100000 The fact that such
tremendous sums will be paid for the
opportunity to acquaint the public
with advantages of certain cities and
sections In the daily papers Is due to
a careful check-up of results. This
began first in California That sec
ton undoubtedly furnished realtors
and commercial bodies with the basic
facts OF what advertising would ac-
complish.
Canvass of replies in many sections
have shown conclusively that more
prospective investors have been in.
