days, compared to seven for agri-
culture.
"But two remedies for the situa-
ton offer themselves, the first pro-
viding for the taking away Of all
the. good things which have been
granted to the ether fellows. This
will not be done because of the
powerful influence these have
learned to WELD over congress.
Thus, there is only one means left:
To employ the same means as are
used to support and finance labor
and industry.
1.-THE bill. now before congress
will bring about agricultural re-
lief by providing q federal reserve
board to regulate farm products
and their disposal, such as now
regulates the nations finances
through its banks.
1--WE have learned to expect the
industrial east and the south, which
may profit politically from the
downfall of the party now in pow
err, to block us in every manner
possible and keep agriculture from
getting q square deal. It will take
every effort to secure any method
of relief from agricultural deprcs-
sion"

Baby Carriage
Traffic Problem
Perplexes Basle
By HENRY WOOD
United Press Staff CORRESPONDENT

BASLE, Switzerland, Dee. Is
While most of the civilized world is
struggling with the problem of au-
tomobilc traffic, Baslc has the
unique distinction of being probab-
II the only city where the most
serious traffic question is that of
baby carriages.
The steady stream of baby ca
liageS on the streets has become so
great as to interfere seriously with
the ordinary foot, automobile and
vehicle traffic.
The principal complaint, however,
against the ,.vrr-incrcasing string OF
perambulatorS on every street came
from the pedestrians who are fore
81 to keep off the sidewalks and
walk in the middle of the street
Facing this dilemma, the police
decided to rcsurrcct law that WIS
enacted in 1897 and uneuforccd for
over twenty wears which prohibited
baby carriages from pCrambulating
on the sidewalks.
Without previous warning the law
was put into effect and on the first
day alone over 800 arrests were
made in the principal streets of the
city of mothers and nurse maids for
blocking sidewalks traffic with
baby carriages.
However. goodlv number of
these refused to pay their fine IN
police court and appealed to a high
tribunal of which the Judge had the
more happy idea of resurrccting a
still more ancient law that dated
from the time when Basic was Il
walled town and which authorized
baby carriages to roll on the sid"-
