LAWS WON'T AID

Nothing Congress Can Do
That Won't Do More Good

Times WASHINGTON Bureau.
1899 Neto York AUenue

WASHINGTON. Aug. 6.-rThe
farmer can't h pc to find his eco
nomic salvation IN legislation"
That is the opinion of DR.. Edwin
O. Nourse, well-known economist
and director of the Institute of
economics here, who has just re-
turned from a trip through the corn
belt where the agricultural revolt"
is centered.
There's no doubt" said DR..
Nourse, that the middle western
farmers have been and are still suf-
fering severely. but their hope of
better times doesn't lie in more legis-
lation. They have all the credit they
can use, they have every legisla-
tive facility for developing coopera.
tive marketing and they are to be
cational and research program de-
signed to put farming on a bust
ness basis. Beyond that there is
nothing Congress can do that won't
a. them more good than harm"
~ Dangerous Issue
DR.. Nourse thinks the farmers are
playing with a very dangerous issue
in advocating wholesale tariff re-
auctions.
IF the tariff could be reduced
scientifically" he said, there are
unquestionably abuses which could
be eliminated, but wholesale re-.
auctions would probably hurt the
farmer more than they would benefit
him
Industries built up behind the
tariff wall would be seriously
hampered by the competition Of
European producers, who are des-
perately anxious to get new mar.
kets. That would mean industrial
depression and unemployment, and
the farmers would lose more from
the collapse of the home market
than they would gain from the lower
prices of the things they buy.

It is quite true that such a route
can be followed but on account OF the
very great danger of washouts on
that route between Holbrook and
Oraibi, it has been found that by 60

be overcome. 1t is also said that the

Three hundred and fifty men were
thrown out OF work.
Starting on the first floor OF the
three story frame structure. the
flames shot up an elevator shaft
and were out Of control by the time
the Brazil fire department had made
the mile and half run to the plant.
The fire was discovered shortly
after 1880 this morning. Three hours
later the fire had burned itself out.
The entire Brazil fire department
made an unavailing attempt to save
a part OF the building.
The plant was built in 1890 and
was the second largest sewer pipe
plant in the world The weekly pay
roll was one Of the largest OF any
industry in Clay County.
Headquarters Of the company are
located in Akron. Ohio, and local
officials do not know how much of
