The Milk RiOting.
n the Des Moines Tribune.

From the Des Moines Tribune.
Nothing could make more glaring the
senseless futility Of the inspired" milk
riots in central Wisconsin than the
quick and dramatic presentation to
producers in the Chicago milk shed,
just 200 miles farther south. OF a con-
tract" drawn by the Department Of
Agriculture that would increase their
milk profits by 80 cents a hundred
weight.
Now Relief Administrator Peek's pro-
gram for improving the lot of dairy
men in the Chicago area may not be
accepted in exactly its present form
by all of the groups that handle milk
and milk products between the farm and
the city home. And it may take some
time yet for the adoption Of any plan
at all.
But in spite of those possibilities of
dispute and delay, the milk situation
around Chicago will certainly be set
tied equitably in that way a dozen times
sooner and with Thousand times fewer
evil consequences than II a few unrep-
reSentative producers should stay out in
the middle Of the highways with guns
and clubs and attempt to shoot and
bludgeon their fellows into starving"
the price up.
That is simply barbarism. 1t is an
archy. It requires no brain power what
soever and produces corresponding re-
suits.
The mass of American farmers are
beyond that intellectually and Gov.
Schmedeman has handled the situation
in the only way it can be handled in a
civilized society.
The foolish users of violence have
come to recognize that fortunately,

sumed the position that taxicabs In
Washington are in some manner above
the laws which elsewhere regulate them
In the public interest and in the pub
lie safety. There has been such tre-
mendous amount Of tosh over the fact
that taxicabs afford employment to
certain men who might otherwise be
without employment that the public
has been allowed to shift for itself.
Cheap taxicabs are, Of course, de-
sirable. But the cost of transportation
In taxicabs or in any other form Of
public carrier should not be so low
as to prevent the assumption of certain
responsibilities and obligations for the
safety and protection Of the public that
in other cities are taken as q matter
of course. In Washington the taxicab
operators and drivers are regarded as
q favored class, merely because the
rates fixed by process Of unregulated
competition are low. In consequence,
the pedestrian or the passenger who is
injured by q taxicab has no recourse.
The taxicab operator can plead pov-
erty-and his plea is probably sincere.
No taxicab should be permitted to op-
crate on the streets Of Washington un-
til there is proof Of the financial re-
sponsibility Of the operator or owner.

dAmning. blasting. Internal consigning
which once relieved the spirits of sea-
faring fellows In moments of pique.
It Is, however, conceivable that this
newest approach to Pinafore propriety
VIII be less simple Of enforcement than
was the ban on the strong waters A
bottle Of 'redeye. either before con-.
sumption or afterward, has certain tan
gtble and recognizable characteristics,
but q blazing oath uttered In wardroom
or stokehole has about it an elusiveness
which makes conviction for its crime Q
more difficult matter"
Taken by and large" asserts the
Texarkana Gazette, "the young men Of
our Navy are as fine group as any
man would care to see. But they do
have excellent vocabularies, and there
seems to be something about a sailors
life which makes that necessary. Take,
for example, busy coxswain engaged
in bringing motor launch up along
side pier In a stiff cross wind against
an adverse tide, with no one on the
dock to take his line but couple Of
rockies who don't know rope from q
necktie. One shudders to think of the
emotional strain he will suffer If he
complies literally with Admiral Leigh's
order"

Senator Glass and the
Morgan Investigation
10 the Editor of The star.

10 the Editor OF The Star:
An Associated Press dispatch of the
27th instant quotes Senator Carter
Glass as saying. among other things re-
garding the Senate Committee investi-
cation Of Morgan 81 Co., that we've
got nothing that will enable construc-
tive legislation thus far"
The Senator certainly has monopoly
Of his opinion as to the results thus far
obtained. and If the results have not
been more effective it may be because
Of his obstructive tactics as a member
OF the committee.
But has the investigation been with
out constructive results? It has devel-
oped facts as to two matters that alone
more than justify the investigation.
namely, that the income tax law is SO
defective that millionaires like Morgan
and his partners have been able to
escape taxation under this law for the
past three years, thereby adding to the
tax burden OF the salaried man and
Others least able to bear it to support
the Government whose protection Nor
gan and his like need far more than
others. The second matter of tran
scendent Importance Is that Morgan &
co. sold to men who were or had been
prominent in public life stock at Is to
II points below the market price. there
by placing these men under obligations
20 theMl and from whom they expected
governmental or other favors at some
future time. That is, they were making
them hostages for their active co-opera-
tlon or their neutrality in the future
should the interests of Morgan & Co.
be involved. They were to reciprocate.
as promised by Mr.. Raskob in his letter
OF appreciation to the Morgan company.
Well might Senator Couzens observe. as
he did at the hearing. 'I have never
known Of such benevolent altruism."
The Senator Is dead wrong in his es-
innate of the results of the hearing.
He can rest assured that the American
people are at least convinced that facts
have been brought to light that VIII
prove of incalculable value should Con-
greSs have the wisdom and courage to
act upon them by properly amending
the income tax law so that Mr.. MORGAN
and his like may not hereafter escape
their just contributions to the support
Of our Government, and that men hold
ing responsible positions In the Govern
ment service whose obligations are
greater to Morgan &. Co. than to the
American people may be driven from
public life.

Henry Cottrell Rowland.

Occasionally there comes into the
modern world q personality so chival-
rous, so colorful, so ideally romantic
that the natural impulse is to refer to
the individual 50 endowed in terms of
poetic simile. Such man was Henry
Cottrell Rowland, who passed from the
earthly scene last evening. True, he
was citizen of the modern world, but
that was not all-he was likewise
citizen Of the world Of centuries ago;
he would have been at home In the
age Of Chevalier Bayard, in the age of
Queen Elizabeth. He was knightly
character.
Born In the somewhat drab nineteenth
century, educated in the usual manner,
he nevertheless wore all his life an
invisible shining armor, carried bright
sword, was a Crusader type. Certainly,
there was no affectation about him, no
pretense, no special penchant for me-
dieval standards of thought or conduct,
no conscious striving back to an era fed
beyond recall On the contrary, his
major interests were those Of his own
time. The romantic aspect Of his soul
was simply natural gallantry of mind
and heart, something innate, something
inherited perhaps. His friends could
not analyze it; they were content to ac-
cept 1t without explanation-it made
him delightful companion, and when
he essayed the writing Of fiction 1t con-
tributed to his success.
DR.. Rowland must have enjoyed every
moment of the nearly sixty years he
lived. He was ceaselessly busy from
first to last. Skilled In medicine and
surgery, he made his talents available
to both the Army and Navy In the
Spanish War and the Philippines cam
paign, and when the World War began
he gave his services to the allies.
Widely read in English letters, he
unpretendingly developed natural
genius for narrative to add to the cur
rent store OF novels and short stories
q long list Of his own generously ap-
preciated productions. His holidays he
spent in motor cruises up and down
the Atlantic Coast and in European
waters-he crossed the Continent from
England to the Black Sea in his boat
just to demonstrate that 1t could be
done. For freside recreation he read
philosophy and the history of re-
ligions.
Altogether, he had a marveiously
good life. If there was any struggle
in it, he never mentioned the fact. In
stead, he was invariably serene, self
contained, self-reliant, happy in the
privilege Of living and working day by
day. A more robust personality than
Robert Louis Stevenson, he was, how
ever, just as admirable and just as
lovable.

National Oratorical Contest Ends.


The National Oratorical Contest on
the Constitution, after ten remarkable
years Of service to education and good
citizenship, has come to an end. Its
demise is due to the depression, which
made 1t impossible to continue to hold
q sufficiently broad newspaper sponsor
ship to meet its expenses and carry on
its work along those magnif1cently
broad lines which made it 50 successful
The growth Of the movement, from
its beginning under Randolph Leigh in
California In 1923, was proof Of the
basic worth Of the undertaking. Within
two years 1t had the support Of the lead
ing newspapers in every State in the
Union, and had, through the Interna-
tional Oratorical Contest, carried its
organization and technique into the
leading nations Of Europe and North
and South America. For years its
meetings have been attended by Presi-
dents of the United States and by the
diplomatic corps Of Washington, as
well as by the educational and social
leaders of the Nation.
Last year the worldwide economic
crisis brought the international phase
Of the contest to an end, because Of the
inability Of foreign sponsors to con-
tinue to sustain such an undertaking,
laudable though they knew 1t to be.
This year the contest was continued as
a national project, with reduction in
its participating area, it being hoped
that reviving business conditions would
make it possible to restore 1t to its pris-
tine vigor. However, the actual state of
affairs at the usual time for the annual
reorganization Of the contest made it
clear that 1t would have to be dropped,
or carried on inadequately.
Under those circumstances, the news
paper sponsors, the school authorities
and the director general of the contest
agreed that the only suitable course
would be to discontinue the contest.
The Star is proud of the fact that It
has been one Of the sponsors Of this
great movement from its beginning as
a national undertaking. 1t looks upon
it as . constructive and lasting contri-
button to citizenship. Furthermore, it
feels that the mere abandonment of
the speaking competition will not mean
the cessation Of the good work of the
contest. During ten years the keenest
minds among the young students Of
America have been directed toward a
better understanding Of and q stronger
respect for our basic principles Of gov
ernment. The full fruits Of that in
tensive, patriotic training Of almost a
generation of citizens will not be
shown Immediately. But as the stu
dents trained in the contest reach their
mature powers the larger results will
manifest themselves abundantly, in
closer political thinking, in more ef-
fective leadership and in higher social
ideals.

SHOOTING STARS.
BY PHILANDER JOHNSON.
The RacOnteur,

The RacOnteur.
There used to be a man whose way
Would cause lot Of worry.
He'd stop you on the street and say
"Old friend, what is your hurry!"
New stories he would learn offhand,
He never seemed to miss one.
He'd stop you on the sidewalk and
Exclaim Have you heard this one?"
Then he would loudly shout, "Ho! Ho!"
And seize me by the collar,
Remarking, "Wait Bit know
This one will make you holler."
And though the chat would interfere
With serious employment,
You always laughed, when he drew near,
With genuine enjoyment.
Now I must hear in figures grave
Financial calculations,
And learn ideas that will save
The credit OF all nations.
While I admire the wondrous store
OF intellectual glories,
I long to greet that friend once more
Who just told funny stories.
