Ex-SOLDlER LOSES HONEY

Montone, Calif., July 13, 1881.
To the Governor; at the Capitol.
Phoenix, Arizona.
Your Excellency:-
AS an honorable citizen of the
United States. who served with
honor and distinction in defense
of Our Flag, I protest against.
the improper use made of State
authority by Agricultural and
Horticultural Inspectors at
Springerville, Arizona.
I recently visited my old
mother at Pleassnton, Iowa, and
at the last moment she presented
me with three one pound boxes,
of comb honey.
As | expected to cross the
state of Arizona and felt sure
that inspectors would have occa.
sion to took our vehicle over I
cautioned mother to be sure that
the honey contained no foul
brood or other infectious or dis.
eased portions.
1t is certain that she did this.
and, in addition. carefully wrap.
ped and tied the package so that
no part of it could possibly lose
out or escape.
The package was not opened
and I did not intend to open it.
until arrival at my home here in
Mentone, California.
The honey was not carried into
Arizona to be offered for sale
and was not offered for sale.
The inspector, mere boy.
evidently. lately from the State
University. took the package Of
honey from my truck (which, by
by the way. was the temporary
home of myself and wife and as
such. was locked), in exactly the
same manner as would have
been used by any other thief or
high wayman, without knowing
any thing of the contents. He
did not know whether it contain.
ed honey, dynamite or photo
graphs |!
He had no warrant to search
my home and I bold that no OH.
Ger has q right to search my
home or to even enter it without
such warrant.
cannot believe that q great
State of this Union approves any
such action.
Furthermose, in the absence
of proof to the contrary. am
positive that the honey was used
by the officer who robbed me Of
it. Had be examined it-on the
spot and found reason for con.
demniug and destroying it-welb
and good, should have no OBJ.
lection.
AS it traurpired, I can only re.
gard the officer as an ordinary
thief acting under the cloak Of q.
questionable statute and | can
assure you that l have a much
higher opinion Of a real high.
wayman who sticks a gun under
my nose aud takes away my
money Tor goods) at some per.
sonal risk to his own personal
safety and future. liberty.
1 can assure you of Que fact
none of my family or friends will
ever enter the State of Arizona
again if 1 can prevent it.
Furthermore, this case will be
referred to the Federal Authori.
ties With a proper protest against
your inhospitable, unpatriotic.
insulting and criminal methods
in disposing of what could have
been no menace to the peace and
comfort of your citizens, mas.

AFTER ACTION

LOS ANGELES, Sept. 30. U.R)--
A demand that Judge Ben Jones
of Lake County, Cal, resign his

denied a man citizenship because
the candidate believed public util-
itics should be operated for public

BY HERBERT MOORE
United Press Staff Correspondent

LONDON, Sept. 30. UP) - Prime
Minister J. Ramsay Macdonald an
nounced in the house of commons
today that parliament would ad-
journ.
The announcement was taken to
indicate that the question OF
general election would be held
temporarily in allegiance.
The date of adjournment Of the
present emergency session, he IN
dicated, probably would be Oct T..
Lord Reading in the house OF lords
also announced that the session
would end Oct. 7 'unless something
unforeseen occurred"

announcement lay in the difference
between adjournment of parlia-
ment and dissolution. Adjourn
ment means that the session is
merely interrupted and will recon-
vene. Dissolution entails the ter
mination of parliament and gen.
eral election.
Macdonald announced that prior
to adjournment, the house would
| pass bill to prevent exploitation
of foodstuffs and articles of gen.
eral consumption during the emer-
gency created by suspension Of the

Will Restore Prosperity

ATLANTIC CITY, N. j., Sept. 30
I(U.R)-One of President Hoover's
closest advisors, Julius H. Barnes
chairman of the United States
Chamber of Commerce, has sug-
gested concrete national program
which he believes would bring bet
| ter times.
Restored confidence is the pri-
mary need of the day. Barnes told
the annual meeting of the Ameri-
can Electric Railway association
Fear and timidity cause paralysis
in thousand directions" he said
To revive confidence and energize
anew, he proposed a broad program
of international cooperation and OF
| governmental action to free CON-
merce from hampering restrictions
Specifically, he urged that the
United States.
1..JOin the World Court and
thereby show international CO.
operation and good will.
2. Prepare to support sound
program Of international fl
nance to follow the short mora,-
tOrium.
, 3. Press for effective results from
the coming disarmament confer
ence.
4. Stretch and spread employment
to the utmost. According to the
special conditions Of each industry
adopt the shorter week.
5. Relieve the 40-year- -old anti
trust laws which today destroy the
small business because it is unlaw-
full to consult regarding production
and distribution.
Levy Fair Tax
6. Frame our tax requirements to
spread justly and fairly where 1t
can best be borne without injury.
7. Give regulated industry like the
railroads a fair chance to maintain
their earnings and credit.
8. Exercise economy in national
expenditures.
g.. Reassure the individual
American that we shall preserve
the tradition of private enter
prise and that governments shall
be an umpire only. Terminate
the emergency operations in
commodities of the farm board.
Transfer to private operation
the government barge lines on
western rivers. End the agita-
ton for government operation
of Muscle Shoals.
10. Continue to adjust the pro-
tective tariff to represent only the
difference in wage and living stan
dards against cheaper labor COM
petitors.
II. Use the great reservoir of Am
erican sympathy and its genius for
organization in caring for cases OF
individual misfortune.
12 Avoid in any form donations
from the national treasury as chari-
ty doles. but maintain employment
in justified public works until pri-
vate industry can reabsorb its full
quota.
