ONLY SEVEN WEEKS LEFT

THE first concern now of friends of tenn
perance and advocates of repeal is to
avoid chaos after Dec 5.
Floridas overwhelming rejection of the
eighteenth amendment brings to thirty-three
the unbroken phalanx of states whose voters
have decided for reform. Six more states vot-
ing Nov. 7 are certain to bring the total past
the necessary minimum of thirty-six, and the
total of ratifying conventions already sched-
uled will bring final annulment on Dec 5.
The tremendous wave has moved much
faster than any one believed possible Prohi-
bition's strongest opponents thought six
months ago they would have at least two years
to prepare for the problems of repeal-chiefy
control and taxation.
Ten of the nineteen states where liquor sale
will be permitted as soon as repeal is COM
pleted already have acted, by setting UP state
control and, either tax or license systems. In
other states where state prohibition is being
forced out by popular sentiment, leaders are
planning control systems to prevent disas-
trouS and anarchic hiatus
But in the nine so-called wet" states
which have not yet acted, something must be
done within the next seven weeks These
states are illinois, Indiana, Louisiana, Mary
land, New Jersey, Oregon, Pennsylvania,
Washington and Wisconsin. Preprohibition
local licensing regulations will be effective in
many of the communities involved, but the
vicious old-time system of free-flowing liquor
and huge profits flourished under them That
system should not return. even in few states
The cost is too great. There should be ade-

needs of the country and not to
support a parasite class? He states
that Socialism is our worst enemy.
Whose enemy? Greed, of course.
Socialism teaches no man shall
have luxuries until all men are clad
and fed decently.
Our roads, schools, bridges, police
and fire protection, the Panama
canal, parks, public health serves
and hospitals, streets, etc, are So
cialized Too bad that speculative
finance can not build pyramids of
holding companies on these. Does
this kind of Americanism oppose
this kind of Socialism? If so, his
patriotism is the last refuge of the
scoundrel.
When did Socialists ever oppose
democratic government? Never,
of course. The Socialists meetings
always are open to the public. They
are glad to give information.

Mr.. Maddox has reached the
height of audacity in serving up
pure nonsense, in stringing to-

mazes of words, such as has pre-
viously been known only in mad
houses. But we agree with Mr.
Maddox in one thing, that he is an
expert in subversive propaganda.

NEW DEAL RELIEF

4 15-year-old boy has been supporting his
widowed mother and sister by working
after school for dairy. He is going to lose
his Job because NRA codes forbid employment
of children under 16 But what will he and
his mother and sister do for food and shelter?
The children's bureau of the department
of labor heard of this case and hundreds of
others like soon after the NRA began its
child labor crusade and realized something
must be done. 1t appealed to Relief Admin
istrator Harry Hopkins and orders went out
at once to all state relief bodies directing them
to find out from public schools what children
with work permits are being deprived of a
chance to earn.
Where investigation shows that such chill
dren are the sole support of dependents an
attempt will be made to find work for an adult
in the family, or failing this, relief will be
given. The government is not going to wait
until these families have gone through the
suffering of restitution and have finally been
forced to appeal for help. 1t is going to help
now.
This is one of the brilliant stars in the
crown of the new deal relief administration.
There are many others-for to the full extent
of the means at hand it is trying to end the
hideous conditions that have disgraced the
United States for the last few years. 1t is
trying to- end slow starvation on insufficient
relief, and also degradation of spirit.
Americans may feel just pride in this new

IF the government goes into business, it
has got to go into it in business-like way"
Right there Dr.. Morgan has put his finger
on one of the most important elements in the
whole case. Much of the fear of "the govern
ment in business" arises from the justihable
belief that big government jobs are apt to
become happy hunting grounds for the patron
age boys.
If Uncle Sam is going into business on
large scale-as, apparently, he is-it is highly
important that politics be divorced from the

THE GREAT GARBAGE BATTLE


GONE people are getting a laugh out Of the
~ city's campaign against garbage hijack-
ers The idea that man can be arrested
for stealing anything so worthless is rather
amusing
Yet garbage is not worthless to the city
and hence it has genuine value to the tax
payer Indianapolis has spent a large sum
of money to construct a processing plant
which extracts valuable by-products from the
things the ordinary citizen wastes. Grease
for soap manufacturing and feed for live
stock are made from garbage and sold by the
municipality.
If the garbage plant can not get enough
raw material it becomes just that much more
costly to the taxpayers.
Have as much fun as you like over the
sanitary boards insistence on getting all the
available garbage in the city, but while you
are chuckling remember that the board is
trying to save you money.
The sanitary commissioners are showing
comendable zeal in attempting to plug this
small leak in the city's revenues. If the same
spirit were shown by every other city depart
ment the taxpayer could hope for some relief
next year.
That city budget must be reduced. The
citys income must be increased.

sun to act on the naked skin Of the
body.
Physicians know now that goiter
occurs more frequently in areas in
which there are large bodies OF
drinkable water. But it remained
for science to determine that it was
the lack of iodine in such water
that was responsible for the in
creased amount of goiter in these
sections.
More than 300 years before the
beginning of the Christian era,
Hippocrates wrote a chapter on
airs, Water, and Places" pointing
out why some regions were more
healthful than others. He wrote
that inhabitants of a region which
is mountainous, rugged, high, and
Watered, where the changes Of the
seasons exhibit sharp contrasts, are
likely to be Of big physique, with

infallible prediction Of the coming
of bad weather.
And you, as we'll as they, have
wondered why.
/. Physicians, too, have wondered
why the weather has had so much
to do not only with rheumatism,
bnt with many other ills OF the
human body. They only have be-
gun to discover the reasons.
In the case of your rheumatism,
for instance, the doctors have found
that the blood changes with baro-
metric pressure, and therefore with
the weather.
Similar peculiarities Of the body
have been discovered with regard
to ricketts,, goiter, and other all

FOILING THE GANGSTERS

NNE OF the by-products Of the blue eagles
~ activities apparently is going to be a rul-
ing whereby machine guns no longer will be
sold to gangsters.
The code for arms manufacturers includes
a paragraph under which the manufacturers
agree not to sell machine guns to any one
except government agencies and such private
corporations as maintain regularly organized
police departments of their own
Here is a rule we have needed for a long
time. Our complacency in permitting thugs
of high and low degree to possess machine
guns has been little short of idiotic. Any
scheme whereby possession of such weapons

expert on subversive propaganda.
We congratulate him for his mod
eSty and agree that he knows how
to use all of the tricks of the propa-
gandiSt such as distortion of fact,
insinuation by appeal to prejudice,
etc. 1t is not sheer stupidity on the
part of Maddox, it is worse than
that. 1t is the same tactics he used
in another newspaper column few
months ago.
He fears mysterious something
will undermine American institu-
tons, but he does not deny that
financial racketeering already has
done much of that. He does not
deny that an army manual on citi-

racy. He is the artful dodger.
Does he fear the Socialists be-
cause they would have the banking
system socialized? SociaIized bank
ing would mean no more wrecked
banks. no more speculative finance,
no more contracted credits and
currency, causing foreclosures and

would mean sufficient credit for in

No FMru Like This

TINE younger Mr.. Rockefeller was
Il not only an advocate, but one
of the prime supporters of prohibi-
ton in the days of the great delu-
sion. He seems to feel that the
mere fact that he has changed his
mind entities him to the center of
the floor. On the contrary, John D.
Rockefeller Jr. ought to be COM
PEELED to sit in the corner and
maintain a complete and discreet
silence for several years to come. In
fact, I wouldn't mind if some of his
playmates levelled accusing index
fingers and chanted; Johnny Roc
kefeller is sweet on Ella Boole."
Converts to any cause are always
a pest, and those who come half
way over shout louder than the re-
deemed on the far side of Jordan.
John D. Jr. hasn't caught the idea
even yet. 1t has been submitted to
his attention that prohibition didn't
work. He now is bowling down to
worship a new idol called "Regula-
ton"
My funds are very low, but my
wants are simple, and so I will
match dollar with dollar against
young Rockefeller up to S12.85 that
any form of regulation will fail just
as lamentably as complete interdic-
ton.
Even though thirty three states
have jumped over the fence, Bishop
Cannon is more logical than his
former supporter. The good gray
preacher says alcohol is an evil
thing, and so no one should be al
lowed to drink it even in cocktails
or good red bourbon. The bishop is
no worse than any idealist who has
stubbed his toe upon hard facts.
But Mr.. Rockefeller is entirely off
the reservation. Like Bishop Can
non, he believes that alcohol is poi
son to mankind, but instead Of
advocating a policy Of sending it to
limbo he advises that it be passed
around with a medicine dropper
and the label 1.-TWO drops every

mantled for trucking. The silo be-
longs to John Block of Ewington

CONSUMERS TO GET
RETAIL COST FACTS
Steps Taken to Prevent Profit
eering; Where Raises Go
Will be Public

Consumers of farm products are to
be furnished, in the near future, with
weekly reports from the government
on the reasons for any commodity
price increases, and with information
on who is getting the additional
money, according to information re-
ceived at University Farm, st. Paul.
Field workers Of the U. S. Depart
ment of Labor and the U. S. Depart
ment of Agriculture are to gather
and report price figures, while the
Washington agencies tabulate and
analyze them, DR.. Frederic C. Howe,
consumers counsel for the Agricul-
tural Administration, has announced.
DR.. Howe intends to release the in
formation on prices through the
press and special reports to groups
and individuals.
The field stats of the two depart
ments will gather retail prices on
bread, milk, meat and other foods, in
SO cities and from more than 1000
stores. In the department offices at
Washington the prices will be check
ed and the portion that the farmer
is receiving for raw materials will be
determined.
The reports will also cover any
price increases resulting from the
payment of higher wages and new
employment, and will include any
changes in price of manufactured or
other commodities that farmers buy.
The latter item will provide an index
of the hnuinu mower of the farmer.
