Arthur HrisDane Is the new financial
feudalism that replaced military feu-
dalfsm. There is no reason why II
should not last as long as military
feudalism lasted, many centuries.
Senator Borah, one of the senate's
able men, predicts that congress will
sit until November /, and that five
thousand one hundred and twenty mil
lions more will be appropriated for
immediate spending. That would make
about an even ten billions in extra ap-
preparation for this year.
Two thousand one hundred and
twenty millions of the money would
pay the soldiers bonus in green
backs" and three thousand millions
would be used to take up mortgages
on farms.
"Hogs sell up to SOTO, best price
since September, 1890" That comes
from Kansas City-ten dollars and ten
cents for hog weighing one hundred
pounds. That may not mean much to
you; it means much to the farmers
that raise hogs 1t also has meaning
for housekeepers that buy sausages.
For some mysterious reason, when
pork prices go up 10 per cent sausage
prices go up 100 per cent.
Rear Admiral Yates Stirling, Jr,
commanding Brooklyn navy yard, says
America needs longrange submarines
to protect our interests in the Pacific.
Since 1918, when sweet peace re-
turned, wise Japan, according to Ad-
miral Stirling, has built "a submarines,
including 81 of long range, each car
rying six torpedo tubes, powerful guns,
able to cross the Pacific and return
without refueling. Japan has also a
special fleet of eight submarines for
placing destructive ocean mines, four
of them able to operate 5000 miles
from their base. Each could place 45
bombs in the path of enemy shipping.
Newell P. Sherman, choir singer,
Boy Scout master, fell in love with
girl sixteen, admits that to make
his way clear he upset a canoe, throw
ing the mother of his two children
into the water, kept pushing her away
from the boat until she sank and
drowned. This young gentleman is 6
feet inches tall, but the electric
chair can doubtless be arranged to fit
him.
You will hope that no tender-hearted
parole board will say, HE ought to
have another chance" One chance to
drown the mother of your two children
seems enough.
Rome reports Fascist excitement be-
cause Japan assumes the role Of
Abyssinian champion"
Mussolini's press says Japan sets
herself up as leader Of Asiatic and
African peoples, against the civiliza-
ton and culture of the white race"
A Fascist newspaper calls Japan
"the enemy of Europe and America,
dreaming of world conquest" That
seems to be key Of powder with only
a spark lacking.
Scientists experimenting with guinea
pigs take one or ten or hundred
guinea pigs, never all the guinea pigs
at once.
College professors, union labor lead
ers convinced of their ability to invent
a better government, gentlemen who
believe in no government at all, and
other expefimenters, should select
definite number of American guinea
pigs for experiment, not practice on
the 130,O00,O0O all at once.
Miss Margaret McDermott, spinster
lady of Chicago, left $4,000 for an
old spitz dog. Many write to the ex-
ecutors saying they simply "adore ami
mails" especially spitz dogs, and would
like to take care Of "Pet" in return for
the income on $4,000.
That interests men that leave large
fortunes to daughters or sons. For
tune hunters from abroad are always
ready to spend money left to daugh-
tiers, and scheming ladies, foreign or
native, are ready to help young gen.
tleman spend his inherited money, as
recently illustrated in certain Ryan
case.
Moscow dispatches say, the Soviet's
north polar fight from Moscow to San
Francisco may start any day. If three
Russian airmen make that 6,000-mile
flight, nonstop, from Moscow to San
Francisco successfully, San Francisco
will be interested, and Washington,
d. c., ought to be interested.
The government might even interest
itself in building some long-distance
planes.
