There lot Of fool laws spread throughout
the different states of the nation Laws that the aver
age American citizen knows nothing about and cares
less In recent compilation by the Portland (oregon)
News there were found lot of these laws that,
while not enforced are laws and will remain such
until the legislative bodies of those states see mt to
repeal them. Here of the best: I'm Seattle
for instance it is against the law to sprinkle salt on
sidewalk in the winter time to melt the snow Every
body does it, and nobody knows there's law against
it-but the law is there just the same. In the old
days. it the salt would in the cutters, form
a brine and njure the horses hoofs.
"Los Angeles has law forbidding street car
conductors to shoot jack rabbits from the car plat
forms.
an New York state it is illegal to travel more
than twenty miles to attend church on Sunday.
'sIn Massachusetts it is against the law to travel
at all on Sunday except for charity necessity 1t
is needless to say that this law has been completely
forgotten by every soul in the Bay State.
''In Georgia it is illegal to slap the
back.
"In North Carolina the law provides that twin
beds cannot be placed closer than two feet apart.
California statutes provide that if you have a
canary you must keep it in cage of definite size.
Oregon has made it illegal to tickle anyone under
the chin with feather buster.
kansas has forbidden the splitting of tobacco juice
in public'-Milbank Is. d. Herald Advance.
SHOULD STICK TO FACTS
The Luverne Herald says that the editor of ThS
Leader is the chief apologist" in the Northwest for
the Hawley tariff bill.
Well, it does not take much of apologst to
express his satisfaction tariff bill which gives
the dairy farmers of Minnesota tariff protection Of
IA cents per pound on butter and likewise prohib
tive tariff other milk products. Also which gives
a tariff protection of 10 cents per dozen eggs s
cents per pound dressed beef, 10 cents per pound
turkeys, 33 cents per pound wool, prohibitive
tariffs veal mutton and other livestock products,
from SIC to $25 steer shipped into the country with
extra tax if the steer weighs very MUCH 63 cents
bushel flax, and in fact very liberal protection
about every product that Minnesota Todd.county
farmer raises produces-Rudolph Lee in Long Prai
RE Leader.
If Editor Lee would stick to the facts quite
sure he would find being apoogist for the Hawley
bill would be bigger job than he would care to as
sumo.
An ANALYSIS of his statements will prove this point
Editor Lee we are sure has intention to msrepre-
sent the facts but with guileessness that is truly
refreshing he states his in way to lead his
readers to believe that the Hawey bill provides the
only measure of protection the farmers have ever
ceived whereas the facts that the BILL in the part
ocular instances he boosts most, represents only
slight improvement the existing Fordney-Mc-
Cumber bill, supplemented by executive action which
has become part of the law.
Thus we find that instead of the Hawley bill giving
tariff protection butter of Ia cents pound it in
creases the present tariff just cents pound: that
it increases the tariff on eggs 2 cents Dozen on
chickens cents pound, on turkeys cents pound
