The hearing on these bills will be heated. Owners

Too Many Counties


Professor Thomas H. Reed, director Oh pohucai
science at the University of Michigan, puts his finger
on one of the chief causes of the high cost of gov
eminent when he points to the battling multiplicity
of small governmental units in America such as
districts townships and counties.
Some 100 years or more ago. the school district
and its little red schoolhouse were the centers OF
culture and democracy, and the county was szable
unit of government. Today good roads and the
automobile have changed that.
In the old days, county had to be only about
500 square miles in size to allow the farmer TO drive
to and from the county seat in day; now it could
be 1000 square miles, forty by fifty miles, by the
same time measurement Smaller units have become
almost obsolete.
Reed finds that there are far more counties than
can be administered efficiently" In New York, in
snite of recommendations to consolidate made by
Governors Smith and Roosevelt there 1854
units of government most of them worse than un-
necessary"
There is school district for every twenty farms,
MANY with only a handful of pupils. In Michigan
there are $3.50 units supporting 1902 officers, which
Reed calls "a vast army of tax MASTERS and ven
table battalion of death in resisting local govern
ment reform"
In North Carolina IS per cent of the counties
have less than $1OOOoO0O in assessed valuation. the
minimum necessary to maintain the simplest county
government In Tennessee it is 81 per cent: in Min
nesota, 81 per cent.
"The remedy" says Reed, sis to stop giving arti-
ncial respiration to rural units smaller than the

to health and that its long con-
tinued use may aid in building re-
Sistance to colds or other infections
of the respiratory tract.
Il
THE injection of vaccines for the
4 prevention of colds is debat-
able subject. The use of these vac
cines, or as they are commonly
called, Shots" sometimes aids in
building resistance because the vac
cine may be given over a long
period of time, whereas the cold is
usually brief.
The purpose of vaccines is to
build resistance to a specific disease
in exactly the same way that an in
fictitious disease builds resistance.
Thus people who have had measles
or scarlet fever are not likely to de-
velop these diseases again.
In some instances people who suf-
fer frequently with colds seem to
have developed resistance by the
use of vaccines, but the method
must still be considered experiment
tai.
TINE common cold tends to be a
l. self-limited disease. The aver
age human being gets well in a
week almost regardless of what he
may do.

War Fatal to NjDDon

IF Japan has any sense, she is
4 more anxious to avoid such an
unhappy occurrence than any other
nation, for it would mean her ex-
tinction as a rising power.
Japan is an island empire. She
can not go anywhere, or get back,
except by water. She can not ex-
port or import a single item of
trade, except by water. She abso-
lutey is dependent on ships. Let
her ships be kept from the seas
and she is undone.
Remembering what havoc Ger
many was able to create with her
comparatively small fleet, who
doubts what England and the
United States would be able to do
to Japan with their combined
navieS.
Why, they could annihilate her,
without ever landing so much as a
single soldier, or marine anywhere,
could seize or sink her entire mer-
chant marine and immobilize her
battle fleet by sending it to the
bottom, or driving it to cover.
They could make it impossible
for her to ship a pound of silk, or
get a bale of cotton.
Japan has enjoyed a rapid rise
in the world, not only in the field
of material achievement, but in the
esteem of other people. She can
destroy it all by single false step.

In all fairness to a receptive can

did not pose for the figure. The

The reproductions do not quite

The physician called to treat a
cold arranges for the enforcement
of several procedures which are
bound to be beneficial. He is likely
to demand first of all that the pa
tent stay in bed. Certainly when
there is fever the patient should
stay in bed.
He may be given drinks Of hot
lemonade and of orange juice, not
only for the alkalinization value,
but also for the vitamin content
and in order to make him take
fluids in abundance.
Sweating under heavy blankets or
perhaps induced by similar meas
ures is sometimes helpful.
The physician has large variety
of remedies which do much to make
the patient comfortable. It is i'm
portant to warn against too violent
blowing of the nose.
This is likely to force infectious
material into the ears and into the
estuchian tubes which pass from
the back of the nose to the ear.
Injection of the ear is a danger
Gus complication.
There are many preparations
which may be used in the nose to
bring about comfort and the les
sening Of secretion and relieving the
sense of STIFFNESS.

OFF the Hooks

How cooperative credit is saving members Of the
fire department from the clutches of the loan shark
and the AZ per centers revealed at the annual
meeting of the Indiana League of Credit Unions
held in this city Thursday evening
Credit unions, operating under the state banking
commission are voluntary associations OF persons
who lend their own money to themselves
They were formed as a means of giving credit
in small sums to their members and to fight the
injustice and hardships that have come from the
exacon of huge interest charges to those who need
money most
In this state there are $50 Of these associations
and their members annually lend many thouSanos
of dollars to themselves.
Less than wear ago one of these associations was
formed in the city fire department. Up to that time
many of the city employees were in the hands OF
the loan sharks large portion Of their pay en-
velopes went for interest charges.
"The boys are getting off the hooks" was the
dramatic report of the representative of the fremen
at the annual gathering.
That means something not only to the fremen
but to the entire city in terms Of better service
Men who are worried by the everlasting shadow
OF debt can not give the best service whether theS
be public employees Or engaged in private industry
Last year the concerns which find rich profit in
charging the legal rate of AZ per cent year for loans
under $500 killed measures before the legislature which
would have limited usury to more reasonable greed
That business is we'll fortified and well organized
1t has power in high places 1t is respectable be-
cause it is legal
The credit union movement, spreading in many
states may be the 1t meets the urgent need
which has been capitalized by those who charge high
rates 1t does something else 1t is part of CO.
operative movement.
If your lodge, your business, your church, or any
other group finds the problem of debt for its mem
beers too pressing, you may be interested in what
these credit unions are doing.

Years Ago.
NEW YORK, Feb. 5.-Though
IN moves for peace in the Orient
have not failed, they have met with
such opposition on Japan's part as
to make success very doubtful.
Japan has refused to accept two
of the five points suggested. She
will not permit the Manchurian
situation to be investigated, or ar
bitrated by outside parties, and she
will not agree to cease mobilizing.
Japanese spokesman contend that
the Manchurian situation is some
thing for their government and
China to adjust, and that it has no
connection with the battle now rag
ing at Shanghai.
Whether they have convinced
themselves that the latter PROPOSE
ton is true, they will find it hard
to convince the rest of the world.

Just Every Day Sense
BY MRS. WALTER FERGUSON

ITO my way of thinking, the greatest religious err
l. ror of modern times made when the Prot
estant churches insisted that the of prohibition
was the cause Of God.
One may argue that the eighteenth amendment is
excellent act but to link it up in Importance with
the Ten Commandments is to overstep the mark a
Bit 1t should be possible to discuss prohibition with
sanity and leave God entirely out of the question
The churches have not been able to do this They
have made the dry cause religious cause, and by SO
doing have hopelessly divided their ranks and weak
ened their spiritual authority.
In may localities the good people are hot upon
the heels OF the demon rum that they almost believe
has other vice save that of drinking. They
crusaded so vigorously against liquor that such
evils greedineSS vainglory, lying public graft and
the preying of strong upon the weak have es-
capped their notice
r KNOW that great many good women believe sin
cerely that God marches in every dry parade. Fol
them prohibition has become the first and most i'm
portant moral law, veritabe tablet of stone handed
down by the sanity Frances E. Willard and inter
preted, alas, by our Billy Sundays and our Bishop
CannonS.
For their UNCONVENTIONAL authorities to permit
them to cherish this delusion not only harms theil
cause but undermineS the very foundation Of the
church.
Gradually, tragically organized religion is losing
its influence over the young. Youth has sharp eye
and nimbe wits and todays generation has witnessed
the disaster that prohibition has wrought among us
East west, north, south, land seetheS with the
vciouSness bred of inability to enforce this Law

time for the church to abandon the Anti-Saloor

the welfare Of American citizens

Bird Halfway

TINE bird life of Florida is un-
l. usually varied and interesting.
The state extends southwark into
the tropics, nearly surrounded by
the waters of the Atlantic ocean
and the Gulf of Mexico.
Within its borders there are many
inland lakes and flooded marshes.
AS a result, the state is an ideal
haven for many types of birds not
found elsewhere in the United
States.
In addition, Florida provides a
highway for thousands of migrating
birds who journey from the United
States to winter homes in South
America or the West Indies.
In FLORIDA Bird Life" Howell
discusses both the resident and the
migrant birds to be found in the
state.
The United States biological sur
vey, in pursuance Of its program of
studying the wild life and mapping
the life zones of North America, in
stituted a survey of wild life in
Florida IN 1918.
Howell was put in charge of tha
work. He completed the manuscript
of Florida Bird Life" in 1890, but
sufficient funds for its publication
were not available at the time.
The book now is published by the
Florida department of game and
fresh water fish in cooperation
with the United States biological
survey. This was made possible
through the financial assistance Of
Marcia Brady Tucker of New York.

"ELORIDA BIRD LIFE" consists
Il of $40 pages. Of them, 4O2
pages are devoted to the actual de-
Scription of the various species Of
birds found in the state. The recog-
milton marks, range, distribution in
Florida, haunts and habits are given
in the case of each species.
Other chapters in the book in
clude a history of Florida ornitholS
ogy, list of birds originally de-
scribed from Florida, the history of
bird protection in Florida, the
photographic regions of Florida
and the life zones of Florida.
AS Howell points out in the in
PRODUCTION, Florida long has been a
favorite locale with ornithologists.
Apparently, they discovered the
state before the tourists did.
Florida occupies a unique posi-
ton biologically among the states
of the union" he writes, and has
been a Mecca for naturalists since
the days of Bartram, a century and
a half ago.
Comprising as it does, long,
narrow peninsula projecting south
ward into the tropics, and provided
with myriad lakes, ponds, marshes
and tidal lagoons, it is an attractive
lane of migration for many birds,
and furnishes an ideal home at all
seasons for immense numbers of
waterfowl, shore birds and swamp
loving species.
Nowhere else in America can be
found such populous rookeries OF
pelicans, water turkeys, egrets,
herons and ibises."
BIRDS of Florida" treats of 423
birds, comprising 1852 species, and
sixty-one sub species.

TN the illustrated section which I

ship portrait of a French actress
newly arrived in America.
Unless these aging eyes deceive
me, she goes by the forbidding name
OF Sugar Marcelle. Very likely she
is a granddaughter of some one or
all of the three misses who lived at
the bottom of a treacle well.
But I will grant you that roto-

Interpretations, to put it mildly.
Alfalfa Bill was not consulted be-
fore he appeared cheek to jowl with
Sugar Marcelle in the Wall Street
press. Besides. Governor Murray
was not pictured with his legs
crossed.
Still, I think the state can rest
its case as it stands. Governor

Strange Protection

A CCORDING to Premier 1nukai,
n the Japanese are attacking
Shanghai in proof of their right to
defend it, or at least, certain por-
tons of it.
According to Japanese delegates
attending the disarmament con-
ference and League of Nations
council, the Chinese started trouble
at Shanghai.
All this sounds very strange, con-
sidering where Shanghai is and to
whom it belongs.
There certainly was no bombing,
burning and blockading until the
japanese landed.
They claim that their sole object
in landing was to protect the per-
son and property of their nationals,
but they seem to have been far
more interested in destroying those
of Cinnamon.
