WHAT ABOUT LAWS?

Sure enough. what about laws? When you get to the bottom or
the end of things it appears that nearly every great question political
the changes and reforms and regulations contemplated. One man
declares there ought to be a law. The next man shouts that the
trouble is we have too many laws. Both of them are in rebellion
against some of the laws now on the books. The popular attitude is:
Law is all right for the other fellow, but if it in any way interiors
with my profit o pleasure am opposed to it and will not hesitate to
violate it..
chance to be tried out because of the carping, rebelious horde that
nags, ridicules and defes. The agricultural marketing act that would
require ten years for a fair trial, with reasonable support and cooper
alton, has been bounded by paid propogandlsts since II rst e INTO
effect. Because it did not Immediately bring high wheat prices and
prosperity to the whole world many farmers listen to the bunk put
out by the grain trade. The marketing act is making for too much
side of the grain trade squeal. Any other act aimed at the same pr-
pose would have been attack just as savagey The experience of the
marketing act illustrates what any law of wide import has to pass
through before it gets a fair test.
The Texas legislature has passed a law designed to reduce the
cotton production of the state one half during the next two years,
with heavy fines for planting over-acreage. No doubt it will be op-
posed by at least half the people of the state.
Iowa has a law intended to clean the state OF tubercular cattle
Many states in which dairying is important have such laws and are
carrying on the work of testing and condemning cows. But in Cedar
county, Iowa, a well organized pitchfork army of 200 men battled
against the operation of the law until martial law was declared in
the county and $500 of the state militia were brought in.
So on down the line of the laws and policies of government de-
signed for the welfare of the state and nation-few of them r OBJ
served and many of them are openly opposed. An attitude that is far
too general is that laws and respect for them are old fashioned-just
something to wise crack about, This condition is the direct offspring
OF partisan politics, corruption and lax enforcement. 1t has gone so
far that the standard of citizenship has been alarmingly lowered
There are too many people and too many Of them of a low grade. Too

not soon be cured.

THINGS TO NOT KICK ABOUT

1t is refreshing to learn of official matters that draw praise in
stead of criticism. A couple of cases in point ae cited. A headline
in IN exchange says: state Treasurer Shows Large Gain. This
sounds IS though F. E. Williams was taking on weight. But the
meaning intended refers to the interest earnings o N state deposits,
average for the three previous years. This gain is more than enough
to pay the whole cost of operating the treasurer's office for a year,
it is said.
Another state official who is couragously efficient in the interest
of his people is George P. Porter, state auditor, who for years has
tried to enforce justice in the dealings OF the surething investment
companies with their pauons-companies that depend for their profits
of unemployment and depression are unable to keep up their payments
One company hailed the state auditor, who is also investment com
missioner. into a federal court of three judges. Two judges decided
for the investment company but the third, the well known Judge
Bourquin, wrote a dissenting opinion that is both significant and con
vincing. Auditor Porter intends to appeal the case to the U. S.
Supreme court
Perhaps we are wrong but it certainly seems that the few public
officials who strive to perform their duties with a view to justice
and fairness cannot get anywhere because of all the forces that are
pleased to view vital business matters through the eyes of organized
and entrenched wealth. Between the laws, the lawyers, the courts
and the pover of invisible government the breaks all go one way.

Vaults of the federal reserve
banks in this country now hold
two billion dollars more in gold
than is required for legal reserves
according to a report of the fed
eral reserve board. The surplus
represents about two-fifths of the
amount of gold in the country. We
as a nation are solvent and then
some--but if that two billion were
working instead of being in stor-
age, what a difference it would
make in our prosperity

BETTER, MORE USEFUL
THAN EVER
From County Agent HART

(From County Agent HART
Without going so far as TO main
tain that IAN apple a day keeps
the doctor away" the bureau OF
home economics Of the United
States department of agriculture
puts in an emphatic word, now
that the apple season is at hand
for this old friend among the
fruits. The apple is good food, and
can be had when other fruits and
vegetables are hard to get.
These characteristics of the ap-
pie are especially important in
view of the fine apple crop that IS
expected this September. and the
many possibilities of storing or
preserving apples for winter use.
Apples are good food for the
same reason that vegetables are
good. They furnish vitamins and
minerals. and the crisp texture
of the raw apple serves as a mild
sort of roughage. They are by
no means so rich in yitamins as
the citrus fruits and tomatoes,
but if eaten in sufficient quanti-
ties, they make up the food essen
tials which might otherwise be
had only in scarcer and nor ex-
pensive foods.
A great proportion of the apple
crop is eaten raw-the favorite
"eating apples" being those with
sweet juicy pulp, and rich. aroma-
tic flavor. The best "eating apples"
however, are not necessarily best
for cooking. 1t is generally consid-
cred that cooking apples should
have a finer-grained flesh that is
and at least medium tart,
a distinct apple flavor. For
baking, the best kind of apple is
one that will retain its shape as
he flesh cooks soft-becoming
though not watery.
The cultivation of the apple
sntedates history. As in the case
If wheat. remains of the fruit
lave been found in prehistoric lake
dwellings, in Switzerland. Apples
re linked with the early Biblical
lays and later reference to them
.ppeared in the songs of Solomon,
which is proof of their existence
t that time. Legends and folk
ore Of many countries weave
heir themes around this fruit,
hitch must then have been a poor
ubstitute for the apple as we
know it
A striking feature of apple cul-
walton is that trees are in their

"vEToEs" BONUS DEMAND IN ADVANCE

While the national convention of the American Legion. in session

the rest of their bonus money President Hoover went before them
in person and told them in plain words that their demand would not

this time would be unsafe. 1t takes courage for a president about to
go into a campaign for a second term to talk like that to 1900 men
representing a couple of million votes. But the Presidents speech
did the work and the bonus demand as voted down. The Presi
dents firm stand finds support among local legionnaires.

with a view to demanding that
