Why Business Stagnation?

~ NE theory is good another, but economists
have for the past year been pointing to the incon
sistency of the tariff, while recently in the
approach of the presidential campaign and party pro-
grams politicians have begun to consider it i'm

With the Tightening of restrictions and increasing
the tariff many products, exports and imports
have dropped off considerably Consequently produc-

necessarily decreased the buying power Of the farmers

mands for production, and this had its effect the

Until the buying power of the agricultural areas
is restored, improvement will continue slowly. The
feeling is now that this pickup should come this fall

of rains throughout the wheat regions of the North
west give indications of rising market. A surplus
crop would perhaps keep the prices at about the

Townley IS Heard Again

~ APITALIzING on the discontentment Of people
u at critical period during economic retrench-
ment and business stagnation, A. C. Townley has
chosen well his time for gaining sympathetic audiences
Formerly at the helm of the Nonpartisan League
which he organized after the war, and which was in
control of North Dakota for tme he has not been
active in public life for the past several years.
AS an interesting and entertaining speaker Town
ley is all of that Whatever he has to say is uttered
in his fiery way and his theories of economies and
government still attract hearers
Townley's entry into Minnesota has caused
furry in Farmer-Labor circles. Many are curious to
learn whether he is in accord with the present admin
istraton It is doubtful if they will align with his
leadership He has asserted that people should sup
port party candidate for public office if the Farm
er-Labor men did not meet their approval
Centering his attack in causes of hard times on
excessive interest he declares that the interest law
should be repealed and that Congress declare mora
torum to stop the payment of all interest for period
of three years.
P. S. Townley talks "Hard Times" so convincing
y that response to his appeal for Substantial con-
tributon" is generously successful.

Screen Censorship

IN EMPLOYMENT of good taste rather than censor
ship and legislation the true form of protec-
ton against questionable theatres and films,
Merle Potter, dramatic crctic of the Minneapolis Jour-
NAL told club of the seventh district at the
Olivia meeting.
His argument just trampled on the traditions
which generations of club have followed in an
effort to improve the theatre and films en- masse in
stead of through the development of individual tastes
said Bess M. Wilson, special correspondent of the
Journal reporting the Seventh District Federation of
Women's Clubs.
Merle Potter said that the bad must be seen as
well the good for the purpose of comparison and
that youth will readily the ugliness of uncean
books and pictures if given opportunity to compare
that kind with the good.
Experience of foreign countries has not been so
successful generally beneficial Trials in this coun-
try have seemed to defeat the purpose. Who is to
judge whether thing is right or wrong? And by
what standard or principle shall he be guided?
What may be harmful to one personality, may
have effect at all upon another person of different
sensbility It depends largely upon the individual re-
action To degree it is true that nothing is bad but
thinking makes it So" Certainly much rests with per-
sonal feelings. imagination and Interpretation.
