Hardly had the American govern
ment emerged from the Pan-American
conference at Havana with colors fly
ing than the Congress threatened to
offset the good will developed at the
meeting of nations. The Department
of State is watching with the keenest
interest the trend of immigration
Latin-America. 1t is said that the
Administration will block any and all
efforts at this session to raise the
barriers against Mexican and other
labor from neighboring countries. An
International conference on. the sub
ject of immigration as confined to the
Western hemisphere will be held
shortly when controversial matters
will be handled by diplomats.
Because of the possible effect on
political arguments, the question of
unemployment is given close study
here The Federal Reserve Board al
so considered the subject recently due
principally to its economic effects.
The government reports indicate gains
in employment in some of the major
industries but slumps are chroniciled
elsewhere. There is an old proverb
that business conditions are unsettled
during Presidential years, but econ
omic conditions have changed to off
set the alleged influence of campaign
seasons.
Instead of Tightening the antitrust
laws, there is tendency in Washing
ton these days to liberalize them with
view to the greater development
of organized business. The Depart
ment of Justice is not inclined to
recommend the establishment of
American trusts to meet the compe-
tition of the European carriers which
permit the fixing of prices, allotting
of territory and customers, and other
practices frowned upon in this coun-
try. The government here calls at
tention to provision of the tariff act
which would operate against these for
eign trusts in their endeavor to in
crease market prices for their COM
modities in this country Somehow
the people take big business as mat
ter of course. The Senate recently
passed an appropriation bill for the
Treasury and Post Office Departments
carrying over billion dollars. The
debates occupied small portion of
the afternoon, while not so long ago
weeks would have been consumed
with discussion of billion dollar
measure for the government depart
ments.

WANT PUBLIC
ROADS OPENED
Hinckley Community and
Auto Club Takes Initia-
tive in Matter of Snow
Flowing. Recommends
tons to County Board.

The matter of snow removal on pub
lie roads in Pine county is still a
burning issue. The Hinckley Com
munity and Auto Club is taking the
initiative in the matter and has held
several meetings where the matter
has been discussed. Recommended
tions have been made to the board of
county commissioners, town boards,
and village councils and it is suggest
ed that the matter be taken up for
discussion at all of the annual town
and village elections in Pine county
to be held on Tuesday, March 18th.
The Hinckley Community and Auto
Club of which Geo. w. Empey is
president and HI. NJ Dempsey is sec
rotary, appointed a committee re-
Gently to draft a report on the re-
moval of snow on public highways.
The committee consisted of repre-
sentatives of each of following COM
munities: Village of Hinckley, Towns
of Hinckley, Barry, Arlone, Glover,
Ogema, Crosby, Munich, Mission Creek,
Brook Park, Dell Grove, Kroschel and
Pomroy The committee report which
was later approved by general meet
ing of the club, reads as follows:
"First-It is the opinion Of. your
committee that little if anything can
be done for the balance of this season
toward snow removal on county and
town roads, except by the use of grad
ers and such equipment as the towns
already have available, as no money
has been provided and NONE is avail
able for that purpose either in county
or township funds.
"Second-That,& because of the
large amount of money invested in
motor vehicles, the immense sums
spent on roads for motor traffic, the
general dependence. upon the car or
truck to haul cream and to market
all kinds of farm produce, and for
transportation from the farm to town,
the entire lack of horse livery facili-
ties and the inadequate provision,
even by the farmers, for team con-
veyance, the serious condition of the
olioN -uouilu SCIIlOi WhCl III hCSu VI
medical aid, the necessity of keeping
open the mail routes and many other
reasons, it is the unanimous sense of
your committee that in the future ade-
quate provision be made by the county
and towns to keep the roads passable
for motor traffic during the winter
months, for it appears to us to be
false economy to tie up expensive
equipment, to fail to use costly roads,
to prevent marketing of produce and
cause numerous other inconvenience
and hardships, by allowing the roads
to be snow-blocked for possibly half
the year.
"Third-As an aid to prevent
drifting, your committee suggests
that much can be accomplished by
cutting brush and grass along the
roadsides and by removing any OBJ
stacle that might cause the accumu-
lating of snow in the highways; all
town boards are urged to give this
matter their attention, to discuss it at
the spring town meeting and to pro-
vide a fund for such purpose.

that snow fences can be successfully

Praises Architecture.
At a press luncheon in Paris the
American architect, Ralph Adams
Cram, a few days ago commented
upon American and European archi-
lecture at the present time. He had
come, he said, to the conclusion that
architecture in the United States was
far superior to that of European
countries, for everywhere over there
he had noticed stagnation and dearth
of imagination, except in Denmark
whose architects often, Mr.. Cram
said, had produced works that had
the stamp of genius upon them.
Denmark-and Sweden too, he added
at the present time are far ahead
of all other European countries in
regard to architecture, but even they

far as the state road, but there the
trail was lost. No trace of the ar
ticles stolen has been found and no
clues as to the possible robbers have
been secured.
