COMMENTS
WILL THEY TRY TO FORCE
ON THE FARMERS A 80
HOUR WEEK

To The Editor:
The proposal for Federal legisla
ton regulating hours of labor ane
wages throughout the country
should meet the same fate at tn,
hand of the Supreme Court as tn,
attempt to legislate against chile
labor throughout the nation. Thu
Supreme Court decided that Con.
gress had the power to REGULATE
commerce, but was powerless tc
regulate industry. Now Miss Per
kins seems to have the President
approval of her scheme to regulate
not only the hours of labor bu;
wages as we'll.
Such an invasion of the right OF
local self-government, the founda-
ton and bulwark of our govern
ment, would mean that nothing
which savored of States rights was
being tolerated by even a Democra-
tic President.
Conditions are sufficiently bad,
but such legislation would, in the
long run, make matters even worse.
The agricultural States and the
farmers in all States can be depend
ed upon to look out for themselves.
Never fear that the Congress will
advocate or that the Supreme
Court will rule that wheat cannot
be shipped interstate because it had
been raised by labor which had
worked in excess of thirty hours a
week.
It should also be borne in mind
that if the Supreme Court validates
the thirty-hour week, industries
which trade interstate will be ire
mendously handicapped when com
peting with manufacturers which
sell their output within their State
which permit more than thirty
hours a week.

Why Get Up Nights?
Physic the Bladder With
Juniper Oil

Drive out the impurities and ex-
cess acids that cause irritation,
burning and frequent desire. Juni-
per oil is pleasant to take in the
form of BUKETS, the bladder ply
sic, also containing buchu leaves,
etc. Works on the bladder similar
to castor oil on the bowels. Get
a 25c box from any drug store. AT
ter four days if not relieved of
getting up nights go back and
get your money. If you are both
cred with backache or leg pains
caused from bladder disorders you
are bound to feel better after tins
cleansing and you get your regular
sleep. Purcell's Drug Store says
BUKETS is a best seller.

STAND BACK OF HIM

There may be differences of
opinion regarding some features of
the Presidents programme for in
Hation, but on the main issue all
of us must stand firmly behind
him.
We have embarked on a wal
against the forces which are ham,
pering the economic life of the
country. We can't trust the lead
ership to the collective wisdom OF
Congress. We must have a COM
handing general in the person OF
the President.
He and his staff must assume the
leadership unhampered by divided
counsel.
This does not mean that all OPP
position should be crushed ruthless
ly. Those who believe that delib-
crate devaluation of the dollar will
be too dangerous a step to under
take should, of course, be given
the fullest opportunity to state
their side of the case. Naturally,
the President will weigh their ar
guments.
But the power Of decision must
rest in his hands. His plan is a
bold stroke. 1t cannot bring results
unless he has the freest opportunity

lone cowhide will make eight pairs
Of shoes, but it takes nine of them
to buy n pair. One farmer told
lately of getting a pair of shoes for
the price of seven hundred pounds
of milk.
In normal times nearly the out
put of the u. S. Steel Corporation
went into things used On the farms.
1t is going to help that business
and all other business when the
farmer can again have a surplus to
spend; though it is hard to figure
much of a surplus SO long as taxes
absorb all that even the prosperous
farmer earns.
We know of farms that have
been sold up for taxes; we have
heard of farmers giving their farms
away to escape responsibility. We
do not think that any kind of in
fation could make conditions
worse.

INITIATION AND THE FARM
Err

We have heard folk argue that
initiation of the currency, bringing
higher prices for farm commodities
will not do the farmer any good
because it will increase the cost of
the things he buys by just as much
as it increases the cost of what he
sells. We do not think that is
true.
In our opinion, the farmer will
be the first as we'll as the greatest
beneficiary of any change in our
currency system which diminishes
the purchasing power of the dol
lar. The farmers cost of produc-
ton has not fallen anywhere nearly
as much as the prices he gets for
his products have fallen. Labor
cost on the farm is DOWN a little;
feed and fertilizers are slightly
cheaper. But insurance, interest on
mortgages, and taxes have increas-
ed, while prices Of farm products
have gone down.
Not long ago a farmer could get
eight to ten dollars for a cowhide;
now he is lucky, most places, to
get fifty cents. Have any of our
farmer readers had occasion to sell
a COW lately? We hear of COWS
which were worth SIS to 500
three years ago being sold for IS.

Clearinghouse of fngerprints with

Joe Faurot retired from the pol
ice department eve years ago and
is trying to extend the use of hng-
erprint Identification in other fields.
He has lately invented a method Of
hnserprinting which does not soil
the fingers as the old printers ink

OUR TIMES

Perhaps you have not though
about it, but the last two month
have probably been more eventfu
han any other two in American
history.
Two months is a short time. YET
within that brief period has beer
packed a greater variety of occur
ences, of greater Importance to the
country, than could be matched ir
any similar period that comes te
mind.
Begin with the attempt On the
life of Mr.. Roosevelt and the shoot
ing Of Mayor Cermak at Miami on
February IS.
There followed:
The closing of banks throughout
most of the country.
The Presidential Inauguration.
The nationwide bank holiday.
The new currency.
The modification of the Vol
stead Act.
The reopening of the banks.
The California earthquake.
The death of Mayor Cermak and
the execution of Zangara.
The reduction of veterans bene-
fits, and other economy legislation.
The relief and public works pro-
gram.
The farm bill.
The execution of Jews in Ger
many.
Repeal votes in Michigan and
Wisconsin.
The loss of the Akron and the
J-3.
Beer.
That is a partial record of the
events which have come crowd
ing on u with bewildering rapid
ity.
Any one would have suffered for
a nine days wonder in normal
times.
But now n is hardly chronicled
before another supplants it.

Most people, we believe, are glad
to be alive in these momentous
days.
Certainly none can complain of
the monotony of existence.
They have had more excitement

their ancestors eve experienced in

tell how I feel, but 1 do not feel
good. I get awfully dizzy. 1 know
then that I had better take some
thing. After I found how good
Black-Draught is, that is what I
have used. I guess it rids me Of

HORSES mans medicine
When the wild Mongols from the
high plateaus of Asia swept around
the Black Sea, a thousand or more
years before Christ, they introduc-
ed the horse to Europe. The Greeks
had never seen men on horses, and
believed, many of them, that man
and horse were one. Hence the
myth of the Centaur, half horse,
half man.
In another thousand years, the
horse had become the indispensable
reliance of travellers and explorers
all over the world. A couple Of
thousand years later the automobile
was invented and folk who thought
they were wise said the day of the
horse was over.
More people are riding horses to-
day than ever before. Good horses
bring higher prices than for many
years. City folk are learning anew

cine for the inside of a man is the

TAXES easiest to pay

There is only ont easy way te
pay taxes. That is to pay them as
part of the purchase price of some.
thing the taxpayer wants.
Uncle Sans latest tax, that or
beer, is an example. Nobody pay,
it who doesn't want beer, and no
body who wants beer objects tt
paying a piece which includes the
tax, amounting to about one cent
for an ordinary-sized glass. The
cigarette tax is another that is no,
painful. 1t comes to six cents on
each package of twenty cigarettes
Last year the Governments in
come from cigarette taxes was over
three hundred million dollars.
In Italy last fall I learned that
every sign, poster or notice of any
kind has to pay a tax. Even the
card over the bell-button in my
hotel bedroom telling me to ring
once for the porter, twice for the
chambermaid and three times for
a waiter, had a revenue stamp
stuck on it.
Stamp taxes have never been
used in American as freely as else
where. They are the easiest taxes
to collect as we'll as to pay.
CHANGE 49,. mighty slow
Miss Frances Perkins, Secretary
of Labor, said the other day that
more than two thousand persons
had written with elaborate schemes
to change the whole social system.
Probably never before have so
many folks all over the world been
busy making plans to remodel the
world. Nothing is easier than to
make an ideal plan; nothing is
harder han to induce human be-
ings to follow a plan.
1t takes from three to a thous-
and generations to change the ha-
bits of a people. What is needed
now is something that will work
next month, not next century. 1t
would be a good plan, for example,
if the relations of industry and ag-
riculture could be readjusted so
that every factory worker would
have a piece of land to fall back
VA, but the present generation of
factory workers doesn't know how
to live on the land.
The last thing Americans want,
it seems to me, is to be compelled
by law to do anything to Which
they are not naturally inclined. l
don't think highly of any scheme
of social reform which is not the
product of the evolutionary inter
play of natural forces.
.CURTISS -. late honor
Glenn Curtiss died three years
ago, but the War Department. has
just awarded him the Distinguish
ed Service O. -, which was given
to his mother as 4 melnento always
to be cherished of her brilliant and
beloved son.
| knew Glenn Curtiss intimately,
from the days when he was a bicy-
%cle-racing kid trying to ride faster
than anybody else. When he was
beaten at the New York State Fair
he resolved to make a bicycle which
would go faster than anybody has
ever gone. The first motorcycle
grew out of that determinat IN,
and Glenn Curtiss was the first
man ever to travel at a speed of
more than $50 miles an hour.
His most famous achievement
however. was making the .airplane
practical. The Wright brothers
were the first to fly, but Curtiss
was the first to build a plane that
anybody could fly. He did more
for the development of aviatio .
and taught more men to fly than
anybody else ever did.
Pm glad his mother has his Dis
|tinguished Service Gross.
