The statement denied that the joint

The World and All
WRITING UP THE HOME FOLK
By Charles Z. Driscoli

Clenwav Westcott is a person of considerable
writing talent. and he has learned one very important
thing: that one writes best and most effectively about
people and places one knows best.
50 Xestcott's newest book is entitled "Goodby Wis
consin." The author is a Wisconsin boy, and he knows
Wisconsin and its people. "Goodby Wisconsin" Is
made up Of short stories about life and those who live
il in one Of the most interesting states IN the Union
can't help wondering whether westcOtt has any
fierce enemies in the home state who attempt to gain
favorable notice locally by condemning the talented son
Of Wisconsin as one who has "~slandered his own state"
"of course, Westcott hasn't slandered his home peo-
pie. lie hasn't belittled Wisconsin. He has written
some artistic bits which have certain aspects Of Wis
cousin and certain Of its people as their subject mat
ter. But there are always patriotic" home folk who
refuse to understand art and who always loudly con-
denim any writing about the home atmosphere which
isn't purely booster literature.
OF course, the writer who writes about his home
scenes and hometown people needs no apologist. But
/ would like to say s word or two to remove any doubts
or inhibitions that very young writers may entertain
on this subject. Quite often a talented young writer
would like to burst out with something original and
worthwhile, but Is prevented from doing 50 by a fear
thta the hometown people might recognize themselves
in his novel or story. and might be very mad.
Well, if Charles Dickens had entertained such fears
his best books would have remained u%nwritten. Nay,
he would have written nothing at all. He, like many
another writer. began by writing about people and
places he knew most intimately, and he never surpassed
the writing thus based and executed.
Dickens isn't accused Of slandering England, merely
because Ne pictured Mr.. Pccksniff a. an Englshman.
Not now. Dickens is dead.
But Sinclair Lewis has been accused Of libelling all
ministers because he wrote about Elmer Gantry. and
he has been indicted for abusing all business men be-
cause he wrote about Rabbit. and he is often roundly
abused because he has placed his characters in the
localities he happens to know about. Fortunately, ne
doesn't care.

TARIFF AND IMMIGRATION

(Farm and Ranch).
MARYLAND tomato farmers have just Joined the
growers of the Rio Grande Valley, Florida, and Cali
fornia in the request to the tariff commission TO in
crease the tariff on tomatoes" says the Brownsville
Herald. Canned tomatoes from Italy are competing
with the Maryland canning districts as the Mexican
tomatoes do with the fresh tomato districts.
The early tomato states-California, Florida, Mis-
sissippi and Texas-shipped in round numbers $4,000
carloads of tomatoes in 1927. Figures on early tomato
imports from Mexico are not at hand, but we know that
they are rapidly growing in volume. and we have in
formation Of a single new irrigation project that ex-
poets to soon be producing 10000 carloads Of tomatoes
a year, most Of which must find a market in the United
States.
The Brownsville Herald opines that the American
growers can expect little relief from the tariff COM
mission, since the maximum legal increase will "be Of
little practical value.7 and that paper pins its hopes
on possible tariff hikes in the fall term of congress.
These Mexican tomatoes are produced on Mexican
land and with Mexican labor. All the returns except
railway transportation and commissions in this country
20 back TO Mexico. American growers insist that II
would be better for this country to allow the laborer:
10 cross the border and help produce American toma-
toes than to encourage the Mexican production by fur
Their restrictions against Mexican immigration.
Il thus happens that to major political and eco
nomic questions, the tariff and immigration, are close
" linked together. What's the answer?

Differing Viewpoints

Many people in America seem to be more concerned
about the present credit situation than the Federal Re-
serve system is. II unsound credit practices have de-
veloncd. these practices will in time correct themselves,
and IL some Of the over-indulgent get burnt during
the period az correction. they will have to shoulder the
blame themselves and not attempt to shift it to some
one else.
Great concern Is expressed over the mystery Of fed
eral reserve policies. Dissatisfaction is expressed be-
cause the Federal Reserve system refrains from predic-
tion and cannot always anticipate. Conditions, to 4
large extent, bring about federal reserve policies rather
than that federal reserve policies bring about condi-
tions. That i just the position Of the system at the
moment.
II past experience means anything, we know that the
additional reserve credit needed between now and De-
cember 81 will aggregate approximately S3000O0,000.
This will come from the usual seasonal requirements
of agriculture and business. 1t is the expectation Of
the system that this additional credit will be secured
by the member banks rediscounting without hesitancy
to take care Of these requirements and that they will
lend to their customers at reasonable rates.
y further expects that this additional reserve credit
will not be used in further expanding a bank credit
situation that grew up when our gold reserves were
S5OO,OOoO00 larger than they are now and which has
continued to grow while the reserves have been
shrinking.

Four Injured In
Highway Crash

Four persons were injured in an
automobile wreck which occurred on
the San Diego highway just west of
the city limits last night. Mrs.
Dock Barton of TT Broadway was
the most seriously injured and is
still in the FL Centro hospital suf-
fering from back injury. Her hus-
band was badly cut about the head
and on one arm while their daugh-
ter, Lorraine, suffered an arm lacer-
alton. w. NJ. Halsey, also of Ell
Centre, was in the car with them
but escaped with only minor injur-
les.
Charles McDermott, SO, of San
Diego, driver of the other car fig
uring in the crash, is in the county
Jail. No formal charge has been
brought against him as yet but it
is expected that complaint will be
entered some time today.
According to witnesses McDer'
mott was driving while under the
influence of intoxicating liquor. He
is said to have taken up the majori-
ty of the highway, hitting the Bar
ton car and overturning it. He was
arrested by Special Deputy Sheriff
Sam Dannenberg and brought to the
county Jail pending investigation in
to the case.
