CUTTEN BARRED
FROM GRAIN
MARKETS

Arthur w. Cutten, millionaire
Chicago grain trader, today was
barred from trading privileges on
all grain markets in the United
States for two years beginning
March /.
The order was issued by the
Grain Futures Act Commission,
consisting of Secretary of Agricul-
ture Wallace, Secretary of Com
merce Roper, and Attorney Gen
eral Cummings.
Mr.. Cutten was found by the
commission to have been guilty Of
violating the Grain Futures Act by
attempting to manipulate the
price of grain by concealing his
transactions in the market, by
making false reports, and by fail
ing to report"
The Government charged that
Mr.. Gluten, in 1880 and 1881,
dealt in 100000 bushels Of
wheat futures in violation of
the grain futures act, by "con-
ceiling trades and position in
wheat futures, and by failing to
report commitments and trade,
and by making false reports"
The same charges were made
against Thomas M. Howell, also
a member of the Chicago Board
of Trade, last November, in his
dealings in corn. No decision
has been given in his case.

WIDOWOF NOTED
WRITER BACKS
JOB SURETY

Memories Of an outstanding
American journalist were revived
in Washington today with the ap-
pearance before a Congressional
committee of Mrs. Emma S. Bel
lamy, widow of Edward Bellamy,
author of Looking Backward" a
social novel which caused q SEN
sation more than IS years ago.
Mrs. Bellamy, active and alert
despite her IA years, appeared be-
fore the Dunn subcommittee OF
the House Labor Committee,
which is holding hearings on the
Lundeen workers unemployment
insurance bill. The gray-haired
Massachusetts, widow told the
committee "the dignity Of human
beings is not being preserved" and
urged passage of the bill.
Terms of Bill
Under the terms of the Lundeen
bill, workers would be provided
with compensation of not less than
$40 a week during the entire
period of their unemployment.
Three dollars a week for each de-
pendent is also provided in the bill.
Funds for the social program
would be raised by taxing incomes
and inheritances.
It was Mrs. Bellamy'S first visit
to the National Capital and she
appeared to be nonpluSsed by the
fuss made over her appearance
before the committee. In a modu'
lated, scarcely audible voice, the
be-spectacled widow told members
of the committee equality, liberty
and happiness is the birthright"
ov every man and woman.
Praises Bill
She said:
"The workers unemployment
insurance bill is the most in
elusive of all bills aimed to
provide social security; in fact,
it is the only one which makes
any adequate provision for all
the millions of men. We are
insulting the unhappy army
of men and women whose
birthright is equality, liberty
and happiness. Only by inSur-
ing the citizens of our land an
adequate scale of living can
we hope as a nation for any
real progress or prosperity"
Looking Backward" was first
published in 1888. 1t has since
been translated into some 20
foreign languages.

FelOn Trained
Squirrels In
His Prison

NEW YORK.-Anthony Bruno,
who was brought back at the COM
pletion of a term in Clinton
Prison, at Dannemora, to answer
to an additional charge Of possess
ing narcotics, took with him to the
lineup at headquarters the red
squirrel and the flying squirrel
which he tanned while in the
prison at Dannemora.
The squirrels would retrieve
nuts he placed on a table and,
running up his leg, deposit them
in his right trouSer pocket. At
the word Of commend, they sought
sanctuary in his overcoat pockets,
the red squirrel always taking the
right pocket and the flying SPUR
rel the left. Bruno said that in
the prison his pets would stand up
on their launches and box with
rats.
He thought they would have
died of grief, he said, if he had
left them at Dannemora.

Not merely is a nice calendar q
pretty gift, but it stirs thoughts Of
all those S65 days which we hope
are to be ours. What a wonderful
thing it is to have S65 days, in the
freedom of American life, in which
you can do what you want to!
Some of us will say that we are
not thus free, that those S65 days
are so full of hard work, that we
are not masters of all those sun
risings and sunsets. But the peo-
pie who have work are not the ones
to be pitied. The ones who lack it
should have the sympathy.
In even one day, we may find some
new wisdom that shall elevate our
lives, some new opportunity to make
the work of our hands more profit
able. we may bring happiness to
some child or adult. If we are per-
mitted to enjoy those 1866 days of
the calendar, they are a gift of the
gods.

HOME TOWN DIsCONTENT

There are some folks in most
every town who find life too dull
there: They frequently say thdy
would like to go elsewhere, where
they think there is more going on.
But if there is not enough going
on to please them, it is largely their
own fault. Why don't they get some
group together to play cards or
other games?? They can join some
church or society, and find friends
who suggest plenty OF pleasant
things to do. They can gather a lit
tie crowd together and form a dane
ing class and learn the. latest steps.
They can organize a dramatic club,
give play for some charity or
church, and make more friends in
such ways than they will in social
calls for ten years. II people find
life dull, the trouble is usually their
own dull or indolent natures.

WE HAVE A GOOD TOWN

The above remark is made by
wide-awake people in all communi-
ties. But when you look around in
many towns, the lack of attractive
features makes the remark look
rather absurd
All towns are more or less alike
in this respect, that they all have
plenty of good and industrious peo-
pie. What they need is some active
group, or a few enterprising leaders,
to give the town a push. If such a
group is lacking, the town with the
best people will be such a sleepy
place that there is no hope for prog
ress there. But folks who are de-
termined TO have better advantages
and greater success can push any
town on to better things. They can
make it such an active place that its
reputation as a live town will spread
lar and wide.

KIDNAPPING THE PREsIpENT

] = A@NOi 4 4
Testimony has been presented t.
congressional committee regard
ing an alleged Communist plot tC
create civil war during a general
strike, kidnap the president, and sci
up a soviet state. Anything of that
kind is about the last thing that
President Roosevelt or his success
sors will worry about. But in these
disturbed times there are many peo-
pie who cherish wild notions. You
can't tell what extravagant ideas are
stewing in some excited heads.
The President is so thoroughly
guarded that the danger of kidnap-
ping in his case is practically non
existent. But the attempts at as
.sassinatiOn in our country, and sue
cessful deeds of that kind in Europe,
are constant warning Of the things
violent minds might attempt,
If you could penetrate into the
secret cOunsels of the most extreme
radicals, you might hear plans that
would sound very startling. But the
speed with which these movements,
if really attempted, would vanish
into thin air, would make the world
laugh.
An army Of reVolutiOnaries would
look like convention of Wandering
Willies before they got within reach
Of the capital. At every town few
would drop out, and seek the safety |
Of the village lookup rather than a |
more severe fate.
When mobs of hungry men gather
in cities and break open stores and
seize food, or when farmers block
he roads and stop produce from
moving, something is wrong in our
country of abundance. But when
PEOPLE talk about kidnapping the
President, or setting up a Soviet,
hey do not understand the hatred
which our people feel for acts of
var, in a land where they can OBJ
ain any kind of government the,
rant through the ballotbox.

SEVEN ECLIPSE

People used to get quite excited
over eclipses of the sun and moon,
and astronomical fans will be quite
stirred by the fact that 1885 is to
show seven such events on the
heavenly stage. But it takes a total
eclipse of the sun now to stir ordi-
nary folks. Unfortunately we are
to have no such event now until
1945,, and these eclipses are always
restricted to limited area.
Millions of people saw the eclipse
that occurred in 1882, and they re-
call it as a thrilling event The dark
gloom that overspread the land for
a few moments gave observers a
kind of shudder, as a suggestion of
what would happen should the sun
withdraw its life giving rays.

THE WORK OF CONGRESS-

The annual meeting Of Congress
is always greeted with mixed feel
ings of hope and apprehension. The
action of the lawmakers is antici-
pated to remove burdens that press
upon the people. And yet the his
tory of our national legislature shows
many mistakes, and one never is
sure of results until they have been
tried out by experience.
Our Congress, inspite of all at
tack and ridicule, is called by many
experts the best organized legisla-
tive body in the world. That body
is so constituted that every element
of people and every section has its
share of power If any state or
group of states does not get its full
share Of welfare, that section is in
a position to obtain redress. In such
cases, it tends to revolt against the
party in power, and political lead
ers must pay attention to these de-
mands.
The greatest weakness of our
Congress is the tendency to shape
policies so as to carry the next cleo
tion. A congressman may feel that
a cetrain policy is mistaken, but if |
his constituents favor it,. he is apt |
to think he must support it. The
history of past Congresses shows !
many foolish things done to salts
fly temporary whims of the voters.
The American people expect a
Congressman to be a kind of super
errand boy, who shall spend much
of his time chasing around for ia
vors for his constituents. A states
man can, not be expected to be an
expert on legislation, If it takes all
his time to hunt jobs for his people
back home.
Let us hope that the new session
of Congress will be brief, and that
the legislators will forget what
party they belong to, and whether
hey are going to be reelected, and
Just devote themselves to the well
'are of the nation.

GOING OUT AND GETTING

There are two theories of how a
business should be conducted. The
first is to wait for it patiently. Many
old-fashiOned business people used
to argue, that if you give good ser
vice to the public, they will grad
ually realize that fact, and after long
and patient waiting you will get a
good trade.
There is an element of truth in
that idea, but it takes a very long
time to attain any success on that
plan. The storms of the business
cycle may carry you down before
you have got your foOthOld. In this
life people usually have to go out
and get things if they want any sue
cess. They have to stir out of their
tracks, prove to the public that they
are not in any ordinary rut. Adver-
tising is the means by which that
is done, and it does the job quickly
and effectively.
Milford chronicle., 1935-01-11
THE STATE GOVERNMENTS

In most of the 48 states, new state
governments are starting their work.
Many people are qualifying as gov
ernors, Legislators, and other Of
flcials. The state government sys-
TEN of the United States is one of
its most valuable features. If il
were not for the powers given the
state governments to regulate af-
fairs in their own commonwealth,
our country might never have held
together.
It would be an impossible task for
the government at Washington to
attempt to do all the work that the
state governments do. The federal
government would. be utterly unable
to see the needs of all 4S states, and
it would be impossible TO maintain
supervision over all the infinite de-
tail of community life in all the land.
Under our state government sys-
TEN, a multitude of matters that
concern our individual lives and the
prosperity and development of our |
communities are settled at the state /
capital. 1t becomes fairly easy un-
der this system to obtain redress Of
grievances. 1t is not long journey
for any citizen to take to his state
capital under present conditions. II
the laws do not deal with him fairly,
he can get hearing. If many peO-
pie suffer from the same grievance,
it is pretty sure to be remedied.
But if the state governments are
to hold the power which the fathers :
gave them, they must give the peO- !
pie justice, treat all interests fairly, !
and show prOmptness and efficiency '
in dealing with local problems.
1t should be regarded as high
honor to serve in a state legislature.
The future Of a commonwealth de- .
pends on the wisdom and judgment :
of these people. People who are =
prominent in business and the pro-
fessions should be willing to accept :
such service, If they can possibly =
do so with justice to other interests. :,
The best executive ability in the
state is needed in these state OFFICES. ;,

cONGRRss AT d. AaAINl

4 Once more our lawmakers are at
Washington, called together from As
states to settle the affairs Of this
mighty country. When you think
Of the vast complication of inter-
ests that must be adjudged and. har-
monized, one does not envy them
the job,
In Europe little countries are as
large as one Of our more pOpulous
states, find it impossible. to recon-
cile their differences, and they are
IN turmoil all the time because OF
the conflict of races and elements.
In our country, the tremendous prob
lem exists Of handing out enough
justice to 1SO,OOO,OOO people living
on a territory 5000 miles across, so
that all will be reasonably well satis-
fed.
The most divergent interests must
somehow be given their share Of ma
tiOnal benefits. The worker in the
demands high wages and
low prices, and how shall this re-
quirement be reconciled with the
needs of the farmer, who needs high
prices for his product and low prices
Tor his factory goods?
The capitalist does not like to
'isk his money unless he can see a
,hance of at least getting it back.
But what shall the worker do, when
he difficulties of the capitalist stop
he factory wheels? Aud somehow
congress must hold the balance be-
ween all these and many other con-
letting interests.
May our lawmakers have the wis
ON and justice to do their duty,

D them for relief from our troubles.
is well for the legislators to re-
lember that the people do not think
lvorably of conflicts based on de-
Ire for political and personal sue
ess. When the factions get to pull
lg and hauling with the purpose of
1ntrolling elections, the people say &
ley would better come home.
