Horses Could Eat Grain Surplus.

Decrease in the number Of working
horses and mules In this country is
blamed for part of our grain surplus.
Between 1920 and 1890 these animals
decreased by more than seven million,
this number requiring more than 49,
100000 acres for their maintenance
Motor vehicles have supplanted horses
to such an extent that the balance of
supply and demand for grain has been
upset. Farmers on the big farms of

Says Governor Phil:

they put 100000 American young men to work at

Fleeing Factories

The congressional investigation of the flight of
American industries to Canada, proposed by Repre-
sentative Garfield Of Indiana, should reveal one of
the most disheartening effects of high tariff. 1t
should be broadened to include the banishing of our
industries to other lands besides Canada.
According to DR.. James Harvey Rogers of Yale,
the expatriaton of American industry has been rapid
and devastating the result of tariffs. BY the
end of 1929 American investments in factories abroad
reached $1S13OOoOOO
Approximately As per cent of this sum was invest
ed in Canada 35 per cent in Europe and the rest in
Latin-Amerca and Asia.
Some $500 plants, American except for American
nav rolls and American raw materials, now operate
in Canada In Europe there are 45S American branch
factories employing European workers, while millions
of American workers roam the streets.
AS pointed out by DR.. Rogers to escape retaiatory
foreign tariffs provoked by the Hawley-smoot law,
our indusriastS moved their plants under the foreign
walls.

homes unable to beg or borrow enough for tax
payments.
The law will demand penalties for those who fail
% pay penalties in the form of fines that will go for

Taxation, under the present system, has come to
be synonymous with confscation
The farmers and workers Of the state are demand

evils Of the tax system and the property from
being gathered into the hands of the few.
The farmers vision a future where agriculture

A Great Jurisf

Tributes by Henry w. Taft and other eminent
lawyers to Chief Judge Benjamin ~ Cardoza of the
New York court of appeals at the recent dinner in
New York City, bring to national attention again one
of the urists best fitted for elevation to the United
States supreme court
Unfortunately, the practice in the past too often
has been to wait until vacancy occurred in the
high court and then make quick selection some
times for political purposes
Since the supreme court is ultimately more power
ful than congress the President too much care
can not be given to choosing it's membership There
Is no reason why recognized leaders of the legal pro-
fession should not have in mind the ablest ursts of
the country for recommendation to the President for
future supreme court vacancies
AT the time President Hoover attempted the sur
prise appointment of the untitled Judge John J.
Parker, great many distinguished lawyers agreed
that Judge Cardoza the best man in the country
Tor the post. But there seemed to be no effective
way In which to register their Judgment with the
White House or public opinion
Now is the time to begin thinking about ,Irists
WHO are worthy of promotion to the most powerful
tribunal in the world
Judge Cardoza in his brilliance and fairness has
represented on the bench that ideal of the law which
he quoted at the recent New York dinner from Lord
Brougham a century ago:
1t was the boast of Augustus that he found Rome
OF brick and left it of marble But how much nobler
Will be our soyeregns boast, when he shall have II
10 say that he found the law dear and left It cheap
found IL sealed book, left it living letter; found If
The patrlmony of the rich left it the inheritance of
the poor; found it the twoedged sword of craft and
OPPRESSION left it the staff of honesty and the shield
of innocence"

Will not be equipped to resume their

My chief complaint against a.

Tor anything else I went once with
a show to Sing Sing and met there
an inmate who seemed to have
great executive capacity. He was
an officer Of the now defunct

capacity had diminished.
Even simple tasks were too much
Tor him. All use of Judgment and
choice had been so long denied that
these attributes were atrophied.
And only a week ago I talked to
a man who had just served ten

You see, I've been going along with

A Reasonable RenueSt

Three western senators-Cutting of New Mexico
Walsh of Montana and Costigan of Colorado-have
introduced a resolution calling upon the White House
to deliver to the senate all records of the late Wicker
sham commission relating to Mooney Billings trials
This resolution should be adopted unanimously and
complied with by the President.
So far as the public knows there reposes in the
White House vaults 600page report on these Cali
forna cases. 1t prepared by legal experts for the
commissions subcommittee on lswlessness in law en-
iorcement and delivered to the subcommittee chair
man, Judge w S. Kenyon, who in turn delivered it
TO the commission.
1t was suppressed grounds trivial and legalistic
Such report was said to be beyond the commission o
province.
The experts, it is understood made no recommen-
datons They merely cited the instances of legal an
archy in the conduct of these two famous trials Any
account of the laws anarchy in America is incom-
plete without the records of these trials
But aside from what the report contains, the SEN
ate has the right and the duty to it. The Wick
ersham commission was authorized by congress- the
funds for its Investigations voted by congress;
the results of its investgatonsall of them-belong
to congress- AS Senator Cutting has said the nature
of the report is not at issue The question is: Shall
public records be withheld from the public? The OBJ
vioua answer is No.
In 1915 President Wilson, to MONEYS life,
cut through red tape sent investigator to Calfor
MIA and issued his enightening Densmore report The
Wckersham commission experts did their work equally
we'll and courageously Legalistc and political
siderations should not be permitted to bury their
work. And particularly not, since Tom Mooney and
Warren Billings still are in jail.

Measles Most Serious to Infants

1t has been found that the injec-
ton of the blood of a. person who
has just recovered from the disease
is protective for a period of three to
four weeks. Hence in time of seri-
Gus epidemic this measure may be
used with the advice of the
physician.
In serious cases also the serum Of
convalescent patients is injected to
control the complications and to
hasten recovery. In this disease
proper medical and nursing care is
of the greatest Importance in the
prevention of complications.
If the child is put to bed prompt
ly, kept warm, adequately fed, and
watched for the occurrence of COM
plications in its earliest stages, it is
more likely to recover without seri-
Gus effects than if neglected in any
manner.

For while real men in Russian boots are bending

much of our limited intelligence to decide system
of contract bidding.

The miners Of Kentucky, stupefed by misery; the
unemployed restless, sen after months of enforced
ideness; the babies dying for lack of milk all become
insignificant figures while open up a 150-rubber
match with blustering speeches. photographers and
broadcasting.

to destruction let peace pacts fail, shall know
whether the forcing system is sound. We shall play
good bridge.

The disease is particularly serious
in children under 1 year of age,
running from thirty to fifty deaths
in a thousand cases as contrasted
with three to four deaths in a
thousand cases in children between
5 and Is years of age.
In controlling measles, the health
officer demands that cases be re-
ported BY doctors, who see then
that children with the disease are
isolated so as not to come in con-
tact with other children.
The public needs to be educated
as to the nature of the spread of
this decease so that mothers with
cases in their own families will CO.
operate by discouraging contacts,
and mothers of small children will
guard them against possible contact
with cases of colds and similar ILL
ness in neighboring families.

TINE most common time of ap-
i pearance of measles is in the
months of March to June, the
least prevalence being from Au-
gust to october.
Probably not more than three
or four out of every thousand
cases die. The available figures
indicate that the deaths in the
United States run from $500 to
$500 deaths per year.
However, in serious outbreaks of
the disease occurring in asylumS
for infants as many as 35 per cent
may die. In poorer districts where
there is malnutrition, overcrowd-
ing and inadequate nursing care,
the death rate may be high.

WTE have fathered a couple of

but our military budget is many
times what it was thirty years ago.
We have persuaded other nations
to indorse the peace movement by

Whether other governments take
the Manchurian situation seriously,
they apparently are waiting for us

Evolution Defined

TINE opening chapter in the book
J. is by the late David Starr Jor-
dan, who was chancellor emeritus
of Leland Stanford. He wrote upon
'Evolution-Its Meaning"
by evolution, as the word is now
used" he wrote, I'VE mean the uni
versaI process of orderly change. 1t
includes cosmic changes in suns.
and planets and organic changes in
living creatures, called organisms
because they are made up Of Coop
Grating parts, or organs, which by
fitting into one another constitute
organization.
And from the fact that all these
changes - whether instantaneous
daily, yearly or consuming centu-
ries of cons, in the individual or
in generations of individuals-are
orderly, never random nor acciden-
tai. we derive our definition of evo-
luton.
Moreover, as this process occurg
throughout all that we know, evo4
luton becomes another name for
nature. Evolution, indeed, is ma
lures way; thus all nature study,
if serious and thorough, must lead
to the recognition of evolution.
That nature has her ways is the
most visibly evident fact in all our
experience, and such phrases as
blind force have no real mean
ing"
Among the contributors to the
book are Professor j. Arthur
Thomson OF Aberdeen university,
Professor Edwin Grant Conklin Of
Princeton university and Professor
G. Elliot Smith Wheeler of Har-
ward university. Professor Richard
Swami Lull of Yale university, and
Professor G. Elliot Smith of the
University of London.
The book is veritable store
house of authentic information for
all those who are interested in
modern theories of evolution.

has been accomplished?

VXTHEN Creation by Evolution"v
w first was published. many rel
viewers spoke of it in glowing
terms. Thus, for example, Nature,
the leading scientific publication OF
Great Britain, said:
THE editor of this book has
been fortunate in obtaining as wit
nesses to the reality of evolution
some of the best-known biologists
in Great Britain and the United
States, and the twenty-four essays
which cover an extraordinary wideF
and interesting field, are marked by
simplicity of statements which
| appeal to the plain man"
The Scientific American said OF
it: This remarkable book easily is
the most distinguished work of its
kind ever assembled"
The book was edited by Frances
Mason, who deserves considerable
/ credit for assembling the work of
many different contributors into r.
unified account.
AS a frontiSpiece to the book, Ma
son prints the picture of an ancient
tree with the caption. THE Tree of
Life" He writes under it:
Evolution does not move in p
straight course, symbolized by the ,
links in a chain the tree is a SYM
boil Of natures plan Of creation.
THE trunk represents the main
course of life through the ages;
the branches are the great groups
of plants and animals that have
appeared during the growth Of the
tree; the plants and animals now
living are the green twigs at the
tips Of the branches.
I'm the evolution Of forms there ,
are no offshoots leading from one
branch to another; the branches
start from below and diverge as
they grow, each branch maintaining
| its own course.
"Thus life in its evolution man.
ifests itself in a related, yet diver
gent, series of forms, constituting
the widespreading tree of life"
