ROAD GROUPS FUND
MEETING PROTESTS
NOT NECESSARY TO SPEND
MONEY TO RETAIN U. S. ROUTE
NUMBERS, BABCOCK SAYS
ROUTE NO. RACKETEERING

Report that associations formed
along certain highways carrying U. s..
numbers, are collecting contributions
from business men in towns on these
highways, under threats that the inter
state route numbers will be moved to
other highways unless contributions
are made, have brought a protest from
c. M. Babcock, commissioner Of high
ways of Minnesota.
THE purpose of placing U. S. num-
bers on routes carrying large amount
of interstate traffic was to relieve the
business men and civic organizations
from the toll levied by trail aSsocia-
tons which frequently used the threat
of moving the trail as means Of
forcing contributions.
Since the numbering system was
put into effect, great many of these
trail associations have disappeared, but
In their place have sprung up organi-
cations named after the numbers
placed on certain highways. This Is
perfectly legitimate and proper, as
long as they confine themselves to adj
vertising the towns and attractions
along the route, but it is not p oper fol
them to use threat of moTing the
highway as a means of bringing in
contributions.
mo u S. route numbers can be
changed without the approval Of the
American Association of State High
way Officials, and this approval will
not be given without the Endorsement
of the highway officials of the state Or
states affected. Once these numbers
are placed on route, they will not be
changed unless there is a vsry good
reason for changing. No changes are
contemplated in Minnesota.

BACK TO THE FARM

In the days of so-called prosperity
there was a tremendous amount of
desertion of the farm for the chance
of making good wages in the cities
This tendency has shown a decided
reverse in the last few months, ow-
ing to unemployment in the industrial
centers, and the farm population is
now increasing, for the first time
since 1920, when the department of
agriculture began to make estimates
of the number of persons living on
farms.
The farm population now is 27,-
100000 the department announces
compared with 27,222, 900 year ago.
This is a gain of 208,OO0 in ~
months.
The gain in farm population occurs
at a time when professional farmers
are faced with business hazards which
are more difficult than any that have
arisen in a quarter of century
Prices of farm products have slump
ed to a level below those of the pre-
war period, and the making of profits
through farming is rated as extreme
ly difficult

TOO MUCH IDLE CAPITAL?

Banks that have a lot of money
they are not putting to work have
nothing to boast about The Maga-
zine of Wall Street brings out this
point in making the following conn
ment on letter received from a
friend:
"A friend proudly sends US the
the statement of his local bank and
saws: You will note that we are
not busted 1t doesn't look as good
to US as it does to him. The bank
has $12,000,000 of deposits and less
than S5,000,000 of loans and discounts.
This bank certainly is not busted,
but we are afraid the community is.
Statements like this one can be gath
cred by the thousands to set against
the thousands of failures. One IS
about as depressing as the other. In
some respects a defunct bank is bet
ter than a live one that does not func-
ton. Seven million dollars tied up
in one bank in city of less than
a hundred thousand is not flaming
symbol Of prosperity. Whether the
banks are to blame for business list
or business lstlessness is to
blame for the lethargy of the banks,
is questionable, but there isn't much
to boast of in figures that demon
strate the latter. When capital idles,
men are jobless and commerce dull.
We suspect that there is far too much
idle money in every sound bank in

STUDENT SOLICITORS

Many young men are trying to
obtain money for an education by
selling things from door to door. One
naturally feels sympathy with any
young man who is ambitious enough
to earn money for an education. 1t is
out of that spirit that men have gone
on to success and achievement.
Such young fellows, however, often
need advice Sometimes the kind of
education they seek is not the best
suited to their needs. They conceive
the idea that if they can only grad
uate from some college, their path
to success is easy. But that is not
the case. The college diploma is no
meal ticket
Boys who try to earn money in
this way should not make an appeal
that is practically request for char
ity. If they try to persuade people
to buy something they do not want,
to help them through college, they
might just as well ask for direct
gift of money.
Some of these boys approach peo-
pie with a long prepared rigmarole
of speech, prepared by the sales
managers of some agency, which is
supposed to handle possible buyer
very tactfully, and gradually break
down his 'sales resistance" More
frequently, however, this approach
has so much tedious circumlocution
and it takes so much time to listen
to it, that the possible buyer is irri-
tated and prejudiced
Such canvassers do the best when
they offer some useful things to peo-
pie, and do it in a few words. Such
soliciting is often overdone. If it
reaches the point where it competes
to any extent with local business
concerns, they have some right to
complain So man people are trying
to sell things from door to door, that
relatively few of them can accom-
plish much. The majority of them
would do better to go to work with
their hands on an useful job that can
be found.-The Newark Leader.

within the next few years, but If the
bars are let down, future generations
will face new race problems.
Trade unionists were ridiculed 40
years ago when they urged Chinese
exclusion. Chinese labor was cheap III
those days. But the Orientals en-
larged their scope. They challenged
not only living standards of workers,
but they began to compete with busi-
ness men and agriculturists.
This was different. Pacific states
now deny Orientals the right to even
own or lease land.
An Orientalized west coast IS a
terrific cost to pay for few million

NOTABLE DEMANDS FOR
HIGH WAGES

It is worthy of note that President
Hoover and Secretaries Lamont and
Mellon have each publicly advocated
maintenance of living standards. In
any other period or in any other land
this would be much more amazing
than it is now in the United States.
But, be that as it may, these pro-
nouncements are enormously signifi-
cant. They form a record and when
men fall down on their promises or
fail to live up to their platforms they
can be held accountable.

New Orleans (ILNS) - Federal
Judge Borah announced from the
bench that he was becoming annoy

being brought before him in connec-

force on the river front.
"I'm going to increase the pen
alties if you people don't stop annoy
ing me with these cases." he told two
negro striking longshoremen after
sentencing them to serve 80 days in
jail on charges of assaulting two
other negroes. "I'm tired of being
lenient. The injunction has been in
force long enough for you all to
realize the seriousness of it. Pm not

Senator Nye told the grocers that
there is need of big stock to de-
stroy business monopolies, no matter
how big and ito break the vicious
program of concentration of wealth
and power"
The senator denounced chain store
systems and monopolies as cold
blooded creatures that do not build,
but take over or drive out of exist
ence independent pioneers. Their only
motive, he added, is greed without
consideration for communities. The
result is unemployment of the pio-

Scripps-Howard newspapers, after
long, prayerful and perhaps pain
full silence, are running a series
