You know we rabbits can't climb
trees. We have no sharp claws to
stick in the bark
"Oh, we have sharp claws all
right" said Guffy, looking at his.
And we can all climb trees" said
Cuffy.
"And we all like honey!" said
Muffy, laughing.
Then the best climber should be
the one to go up the tree and paw
out the honey from the bee hole,
said Mr. Longears. From where they
stood on the ground, the three bears
and Uncle Wiggily could see the
bees flying and crawling in and out
Of the hole.
I'm a good climber" growled
Guffy.
I'm a better climber!' growled
Cuffy.
I'm the best climber of all!
growled Muffy.
"Ha! Hal" laughed Uncle Wiggily
1T seems you are all good. Well
the only way to settle who is the
best is to have race or test. Now
will watch you three climb up tree
and the one I think does it best
shall climb the honey tree. But
don't climb until you are ready tc
take out some honey. First we must
find the best climber"
Uncle Wiggily pointed to another
tree, near the honey one, and said
Let me see how high you car
climb up there, Guffy."
"All right" said Guffy. so he
climbed up ten feet.
Very good" said the rabbit

white piece of birch bark with fire
blackened stick. Now it's your turn
Cuffy." Cuffy climbed up fifteen
feet which is five feet more than
ten feet.

marking down on the bark the
height to which Cuffy had gone
Now it's your turn, Muffy. Let's see
how high you can 60"
"Ill beat them both" groWled
Muffy as he sprang up the tree. And

POLITICAL ADVERTISING

Recently the Brawley News called at
tention to the mass of propaganda which
newspapers get from candidates for
office during an election year.
This condition is true in the case of
The Press which, in common with most
papers, wishes to be fair to all candi-
dates. Any candidate who has asked
The Press to make an announcement of
his candidacy, has been accommodated
without charge. One or two cariidates
preferred paid announcement to news
item and, naturally they also were ac-
commodated.
Having given each candidate tie cour
tesy of a free announcement, The Press
feels that its duty is done, except III the
case of such candidates as It may see
fit to support for office, by editorial
comment.
Further political announcements must
be considered under the head of adver-
tising and as such the advertising col
umns of this paper are available to all
at the current rates and conditions.
All political advertising must te paid
for in advance, unless the candidate al
ready has an account with The Press
and established his credit There will
be no exceptions te this rule.
Candidates for county, state, or ma
IlOIldI O1llCtS, WHO GApCIl ioiiS tiSi@S
on their fitness for office to be printed
as news matter are going to be disap-
pointed The Press does not consider
them news and cannot treat t EN- as
such.
Lest some believe this an arbitrary
stand to take we point to the radio which
is actively used by political candidates
to help their campaigns. There is no
"free time" on the radio. Either ''the
candidate or his friends pay for the
time that is used in his behalf.
1t is not fair to ask the newspapers to
run columns of matter without charge,
when radios, billboards and other adver-
tising media charge and are paid for the
service they render.
1t is not consistent for newspaper
to charge regular advertisers for the
space they use and then permit political
candidates to get the same space for adj
vertising themselves without paying for
it.

DEPOSIT INSURANCE
COMPROMISE URGED
Steagall Would Guarantee Sums
Up to $4,000 After Next
July l.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
A compromise designed to end the
congressional wrangle over Federal
deposit insurance was offered yester-
day by Chairman Steagall Of the
House Banking Committee.
His bill would increase the tenn
porary deposit insurance to $4,000
for banks closed after July /, 1884,
and let the existing $4,000 insurance
apply to those closed before then. His
measure also would eliminate the re-
quirement that banks be members OF
the Federal Reserve system.
Steagall's committee will begin
hearings on it this week, the first
witness to be E. G. Bennett, member
of the Federal Deposit Insurance Cor
poration Board.
The President has asked Congress
to postpone from next July l until
July /, 1885, Inauguration OF the per-
manent deposit insurance plan, under
which deposits up to $4,000 are to
be insured 100 per cent, those from
$4,000 to $50,000 rs per cent and
those above $4,000 SO per cent.
Meanwhile, under the Presidents
request, the temporary plan by which
insurance is limited to 100 per cent
of deposits up to $4,000 would be ex-
tended until July l, 1885.
Numerous House members have
charged this was a move to destrcv
the Federal deposit guarantee plan.
Several members of the House Bank
ing Committee have said they would
not agree to extending the temporary
system,

EVANS SAYS CRIME
THREATENS nation
Bar Association President
Puts Responsibility Up
to Citizens.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, April 28.-Crime serious
ly threatened to overwhelm the Ma
tion, Earle w. Evans, president Of the
American Bar Association, said in an
address tonight.
Responsibility, whether we realize
citizen" he said. Our greatest pres
ent need is to arouse the people. They
can get the kind of law enforcement
they want"
Evans, quoting the late Chief Jus
tiee Taft, called the administration Of
the country's criminal laws q dis
grace to civilization"
Crime not only threatens the pros
perity and happiness of our people"
he declared, but the very life of the
Nation itself. 1t exactS an appalling
yearly toll-some twelve billion dollars
in money-and more, vastly more,
misery, death and weakened morale. !"
Personnel Held Problem.
Evans said defects in criminal pro-
cedure were only minor flaws" Crime
now, he said, was q problem Of per
sonnet"
THE American Law Institute has
produced a model criminal code of
great value, but most of the State
Legislatures have not adopted it." he
said. "A number Of acts-one on ma
chine guns, another to secure the at
tendance of witnesses at criminal
trials-have been recommended by
the commissioners on uniform State
laws.
Yet, no one of these acts has been
adopted by more than 10 States.
We find the public indifferent and
the Legislatures deaf"
Lawyers Aid Asked.
Evans suggested that the lawyers
lead in arousing public opinion against
lax courts and unpunished crime.
We have our black sheep" he ad-
mitted, "and we are trying to elm
mate them. I am not trying to Gre
ate an alibi for the lawyers. Indi-
vidually, however, they can do lit
tie"
The bar presidents address, which
was broadcast, was the first of series
OF four, sponsored by the American
Bar Association. to describe progress
toward sharpening the criminal laws.
AS evidence that law enforcement
is chiefly a local matter. Evans cited
instances in which crime has been
stopped by determined citizens.
In Baltimore cases are now being
tried on an average of six days after
indictments are found" he said
This proves you can get exactly the
kind of law enforcement you insist
upon. Personnel is the big thing.
Milwaukee's remarkable freedom from
crime is due in some degree at least
to the fact that the chief of police
is free from political influence
