Message Sent
By Roosevelt
Continued From Page u

icy for full publicity regarding all
issues of new securities, with cri-
minal penalties for violators who
attempt to mulct the public by mis-
leading claims for their shares.
The Roosevelt program was de-
signed to restore public confidence
in the sale of securities by giving
an impetus to honest dealing and
putting responsibility squarely upon
the seller.
Bill Presented
A bill to provide the legislation
recommended by Mr.. Roosevelt ac-
companied the message.
Mr.. Roosevelt made it clear that
the federal government cannot and
should not take any action which
might be construed as approving
or guaranteeing that newly issued
securities are sound in the sense
that their value will be maintained
or that the properties which they
represent will earn profit"
There is, however," he contin-
ued, IAN obligation upon us to in
sist that every issue on new secur-
tiles to be sold in interstate COM.
merce shall be accompanied by full
publicity and information, and that
no essentially important element
attending the issue shall be con-
cealed from the buying public"
It was the seventh message Mr..
Roosevelt has sent to the special
session of congress since it con-
vened three weeks ago. Already
three major pieces of legislation
have been enacted into law-the
emergency banking act, the econ
omy act and Volstead act modifi-
cation.
Farm relief and unemployment
bills are pending in congress, with
prospects of early enactment.

Webb Ruling
On Beer Sale
Continued From Page u


regulation of 80 beer in Califor-
mia.
The attorney. general told the
committee he was inclined to be-
lieve" cities and counties could not
enact taxation and beer regulatory
measures in conflict with laws pass
ed by the legislature covering the
same subjects.
In other words, Webb explained,
it would be possible for the legis-
lature to prevent pyramiding of
beer taxes and a hodge podge of
regulations throughout the state.
Webb was CAREFUL to explain his
opinion on this point was not def
mite and final. In particular, there
might be some doubt in connection
with the states right to supercede
chartered cities.
The attorney general frankly de-
clared it was desirable" in the best
interests of the state for the legis-
lature to assume charge of beer
taxation and beer regulation and
thus prevent confusing and un-
fortunate situation.
He predicted if sensible and uni
form control Of beer was not ef-
fected-if, for instance, 'beer were
to be sold in every gasoline station"
There would be radical change
in prohibition sentiment through
out California that would end with
the state voting to retain the 18th
amendment.
Informally, the committee made
it plain it was definitely in favor
of complete state control, if pos
sible. Committee members pointed
out danger of overlapping regula-
tions, and pyramiding of beer taxes
that is, not only state taxes but
also city and county-which would
be passed onto the consumer"
Approve Peterson Bill
While not acting, the committee
plainly disapproved of a beer r5gu-
lation bill introduced by Assembly,
man Frederick Petersen, Burling-
anne. This measure would confer
upon cities and counties regula-
tory control of beer sales, beer Ii
censes and the like.
Assemblyman William B. Horn
blower, San Francisco, pointed out
the danger of multiplicity of beer
regulations in the state. He agreed
with Webb that state regulation
was obviously necessary.
Milton Marks, San Francisco, re-
presenting the Brewers association,
declared brewers favored sensible
regulation and taxation of beer by
a uniform state system.
Last nights hearing was a round
table discussion interspersed with
carefully qualified opinions by the
attorney general.
Webb said his office has been
overwhelmed with inquiries from
all parts of the state on the ques-
tion of beer taxation and regula-
tion. He explained district attor-
neys were undecided on how to
proceed with the beer question
whether to draw up local option
measures in conformance with
wishes of local authorities or await
definite word from the attorney
generals office and definite action
of the state legislature.

DESCRIBES FARM
ADJUSTMENT PLAN
Agricultural College President
Says Federal Program Seeks
to Coordinate Production
with Reduced Exports

The Federal farm adjustment pro-
gram is partly guided by the belief
that exports of agricultural commodi-
ties will not soon recover its volume
of five OF ten years ago, in the opinion
of f. D. Farrell. President Kansas
Agricultural College writing in the Au-
gust issue of the American Bankers
Association Journal.
Nobody knows whether the farm
adjustment program will succeed"
writes Mr.. Farrell "Its sponsors de-
scribe 1t frankly as an experiment. It
seeks to socialize agriculture at least
to the extent that farmers. in what is
believed to be the public interest, will
restrain their production activities and
that professors, distributors and con-
sumers will contribute something to-
ward paying farmers for exercising
this restraint The adjustment pro-
grams definitely are based on the fact
that prices are determined primarily
by supply and demand. They also are
based on the assumption that the ex-
port business In agricultural commodi-
ties will not soon return to its volume
Of five or ten years ago.
Dependence on Public Support
"The plan offers wheat prices in
surance for 1888, 1884 and 1885, for
the domestically consumed portion Of
the wheat crop. The insured price is to
be sufficiently high to give the do
mestically consumed portion of the
wheat crop pre-war purchasing power.
If the plan is as effective as its spon-
sors hope 1t will be, the reduction in
supply may influence wheat prices so
that the entire wheat crop will have
pre-war purchasing power.
eff the adjustment program sue
ceeds, its launching probably will mark
the end of an era of extreme individual
ism in agriculture In the United
States" says Mr.. Farrell.
Recent fundamental changes led
Secretary Wallace to say, What we
really have to do is to change the
whole psychology of the people of the
OulCcu OLdISs. LIS 10 q iol SO oiueA'
It involves the whole program of farm
adjustment as well as the larger ma
tional economic program, Of which
farm adjustment is a part. II the
people decline to participate in the
program to the extent necessary to
give the experiment a fair trial, we
shall never know whether farm adj
justment as now proposed would have
succeeded or not If it had been given
a fair trial"
The Ely miner. [volume] (Ely, Minn.) 1895-1986, 1933-09-15

into consideration when estimating as
to whether a given child is actually
underweight. Children of small bones,
coming of a small native stock, just
naturally can't come up to the arbi-
trary standards set for an average of
normal American children. 1t is un-
fair to them to insist upon such a
standard or to hold it up to them as
very desirable attainment
Weight taking in school is useful, if
it is done regularly Then it is possible
to check whether or not the child is
growing, a much more safe index of
whether he is in a healthy physical
condition. A healthy child does in
crease in height and weight. If he does
not grow then something is wrong
which requires investigating.
Comparison with the normal weights
for the child's age and size is useful,
too, to determine within very broad
limits what child's weight should be.
Thus if he is Is to 20 pounds under the
average for his age and size the mar
gin of variation is too great and some
body should investigate into the cause
of such variation. Similarly he may
be strikingly overweight, a condition
which is equally serious and needs at
tention.
