The Law Factory

The United States is the greatest law factory in
the world. 1t annually enacts more laws than five
of the leading nations of the world together. If a
policeman must have a working knowledge of $4,000
statutes. what must be the task Of those supposed TO
have a knowledge of the 10000 laws that are passed
annually in our law factories?
These are some Of the observations of James A..
Emory, general counsel for the National Association
making bodies have passed all bounds of reason IN
OF Manufacturers, who holds that American law
adding to the ever mounting chaos of statutes.
The U. S. congress annually enactS more public
legislation than the five leading states of Europe pro-
pose in the aggregate. This country operates the
largest. if not the most efficient, law making factory
in the world. the subsidiary plants in the respective
states ~enacting bi-annually, in conjunction with
WASHINGTON. and average Of more than 1900
statutes.
These are the finished products of which the raw
material is represented by substantially 2oooo OILS
introduced during the SEVENTEEN congress and more
ts1an $4,000 proposals within the a. state legislatures
=, session. To these may be added the even larger
OUTPUT Of ordinances by counties and municipalities
which exceed In number the regulatory production OF
both states and national legislatures together.
That the statutes Of the nation and the various
states are over burdened with unnecessary. often con-
tradictorv laws. is obvious. The proposition OF a
Kansas legislator that the governor call a special ses-
sion of three months for the express purpose OF re-
nea1inr laws is not so visionary as might be tnougnt'
There IS a germ Of common sense IN that suggestloh'
though It is doubtful if the legislature OF any staVe
could in the comparatively brief period OF three
months repeal all the laws that should be stricken
from the statutes.

The only enforcement behind any treaty is the
public opinion of the people, and the general pact
for the remuneration Of war is a rallying point for the
mobilization Of world opinion.
We have lust passed through a war the most far
reaching and appalling recorded in history. Nations
and institutions of government have been wrecked,
fair lands laid waste and millions of people sacrificed
upon the altar of war and there has been human
misery and suffering beyond description-an in the
name of ancient institution Of war deemed to be the
inherent right of every sovereign state.
For the settlement Of international disputes there
must be a change not only in public sentiment but IN
the very principles which lie at the foundation OF
international cooperation. The legality of war must
be denounced. It must not only in the opinion OF
peoples. but in the conduct of nations, be made an
International crime. We must reverse the order OF
international conduct and instead of war being an
acknowledged institution among nations 1t must be
made an offense Of nations.
believe the greatest step ever taken for the fur
therance of peaceful adjustment is the multilateral
treaty signed by all the nations solemnly pledging, in
the name Of their people, the remuneration OF war.
know there are those who claim that the treaty
has no va1ue-that it is a mere gesture. I can not
believe that practically every nation in the world not
svaved bv sudden impulse but deliberately entering
into a treaty solemnly pleading remuneration Of war,
backed bv almost the unanimous opinion OF the world,
can be a mere gesture.
It is on account Of these considerations and the
public opinion Of the world that it has been made
nossibIe to enter into the treaty renouncing war as a
national policy and agreeing to settle all disputes by
nacific means. 1t can be made effective if it con-
times to be backed by the public opinion OF all
nations.

The Borah Bill

New marketing legislation in addition 70 the gen
eral agricultural bill will be sought at the extra ses-
sion Of congress as a necessary step toward farm
relief. Senator Borah Of Idaho, who had a bill on
this subject before the last congress, is revising the
measure. which has met the approval of practically
all marketing organizations and leading dealers, and
has announced he will press its enactment in con-
nection with farm relief?
The bill which Senator Borah has in preparation
Is intended to bring about a system under which COM
mission men and concerns that do practically a COM
mission business will be put under federal license and
inspection supervised by agents of the department
of agriculture in order to compel them to engage in
fair dealing with the producers. The Idaho senator
has all along maintained that no project Of farm
relief would be complete that did not meet certain
phases in the marketing situation which now works
hardship on the farmer, and 1t is to relieve this con-
dition that the bill is being drawn.
Millions of dollars are lost by the farmers annu-
ally, Senator Borah asserts, because products are con-
signed to commission houses, at long distance from
the point of shipment, and when these products reach
destination the commission house. on the plea that
the shipment IS below standard, refuses to pay the
price expected by the farmer and offers to settle on
Tn OASIS OF a lower figure. DSCduESS VI Viz IClSIV
involved the farmer generally takes what commits
sion house offers to pay.
The purpose of Senator Borah's bill, In effect, Is
to force commission houses to live up to the terms
they make when they order agricultural products, or
to forfeit their licenses.
1t is expected strong opposition from establish
ments that buy grain. potatoes and other agricultural
products will be manifest against the bill. Under the
present law livestock products, are, to a considerable
extent, protected by legislation dealing with packing
houses and stockyards. But otherwise agricultural
products are not protected against unscrupulous deal
ers, and Senator Borah holds that protection must
be given them.
The Borah bill introduced at the last session, had
the support Of the American Potato Growers, and
grain and vegetable growers organizations. The
license provision will, it is believed, eliminate to a
great extent the INSCRIPTIONS element, and will as
sure producers and shippers a fair deal in any mar
ket in which they may place their shipments.

Editors Note: This is the
fourth of a series of interviews with
members of President Hoover's
cabinet.)
BY CHARLES p, STEWART
WASHINGTON, March 20.-Fate
played a mean trick on Secretary OF
State Frank 3. Kellogg, in creating
a situation which makes the fag end
of his cabinet term overlap the be-
ginning of the Hoover adnlnlstra-
ton.
Secretaries of the Treasurer and
Labor Mellon and Davis hold over
also, but they hold over indefinite
", because the new president wants
them. Secretary Kellogg holds
over unavoidably-as a stop-gap-
until his successor can get here.
True, Mr.. Kellogg had expected
to quit, but he would have changed
his mind with mighty little urging,
He is rather old. but not as ola as
Secretary Mellon by nearly two
years.
If Mr.. Kellogg had gone out with
the rest Of the retiring four-fifths
of the Collidge cabinet, he would
have gone out with the crowd and
it would have been all right-the
usual thing. He had to hang on for
awhile because Henry l.. Stimson,
chosen by Mr.. Hoover to supplant
him. was so far away, in the Philip
pines.
This places MI. Kellogg in the
hosition of a man who has been told
that the boss will no longer need him
after a certain date, and is filling
out the interval-alwayS an uncom-
Portable period for all concerned.
Mexico was the first hard problem
that Mr.. Kellogg had to grapple
with after he took owe the state
portfolio from Charles Evans
Hughes early in 1925.
He ends up with the same prob
lem on his hands now.
However, it is a problem which Mr..
Kellogg looks at in a very different
way today from the way in which he
looked at it earlier in the 1o20's.
Originally, with the militantly anti
Mexican James r. Sheffield as
American ambassador on the other
side Of the Rio Grande, Secretary
kellogg assumed what he called a
firm attitude against our south
ern neighbcr. The trend was rapid
" in the direction Of war when
President Coolidge substituted Am
bassador Dwight w. Morrow for
Ambassador Sheffield. and Ambas-
sador Morrow speedily established
pretty pleasant relations between
the two governments.
1t was not a very good adver-
tisement for Secretary Kellogg's di-
plomacy-Mr. Morrow's success In
averting the clash which the state
departments ultirnatums had been
leading up to at so brisk a rate.
However. the danger seemingly
over, everybody was too glad of it to
blame Mr.. Kellogg much.
But lately Mexico has been rent
by disorder once again.
; And this time, strange to relate,

we hear Mr.. Kellogg %objecting to the
military precautions adopted on our
side of the Rio Grande to protect
Americans against chance shots from
over the river. They may provoke
Mexican-American i'll feeling, he
says.
Maybe Secretary Kellogg's "mul-
t~ilateral anti-war treaty activities
worked the change in him. At any
rate, he is FRANC in proclaiming
them as a triumph which he be-
lieves will make his state depart
ment administration memorable in
history.
An outbreak Of hostilities upon
the very heels Of his accomplish
ment-on paper-u n doubtedly
would break his heart.
Mexico's latest troubles broke"
as President Hoover actually was
taking the oath of office. Before the
inaugural procession was over, Mr..
Kellogg was awaiting the new chief
executive in the White House, coun-
selling forbearance.
Ultimatums would have pelted like
hail on far less p%rovocation no more
than two or three years ago.
Too bad!-that Secretary ellogg
could not have quit, short off, with
his cabinet colleagues, his peace
treaty glow still warming him.
He is rather a pathetic sight, Of
ficially ~frazzling out as a very tenn
porary hold-over-a mere wisp Of a
little, very old man, bent Of back,
wizened Of face, snow white Of head,
looking every bit Of his u years
doing his final best, under a new
chief, and with new faces all around
him, to make his treaty the real
thing.
