You Can't Legislate Brains

There is growing realization on
the part of merchandising groups.
that those merchants who back laws
to penalize their competitors. are
counting disaster. This point of view
dominates some remarks recently
made b yHector Lazo, Executive vice
president of the Cooperative Food
Distributors of America, who said:
Merchants who prefer to place their
reliance on discriminatory or class
legislation will find themselves left
behind by the parade. There is no
law that can legislate brains for the
man who fails to use his own, nor in
ject ambition and self-reliance into
the heart of the lazy"
Under a process of free competi-
tion, with equitable laws and tax and
labor policies applying TO all, the
merchandising system which gives
the public the most for its money
will make the fastest progress.
Brains and energy and ideas-not re-
-strietive- laws-are what make for-
merchandising development. and for
better service to the consumer.

Among the economists were such

TAX RELIEF DEFERRED

A terrific demand from every part
of the country is pouring in upon
Washington for immediate tax re-
lief to aid business by pulling the
throttle and opening 'er up little
wider" The leaders In Congress
who are supporting the Administra-
tion's measures have put on the
brakes, and they are determined
that there will be no runaway bills
passed at the special session. This
matter will not go onto the law
makers programs until the regular

Spokane, Wash, November Il. = (UP) - Today is Armistice Day and millions of Americans will and should observe two minutes ct silence.
 will bet my Kohinoor diamond stickpin, however, that there will DC one group of Americans who won't be silent for even thirty seconds to- day, tomorrow, or anytime until after the Rose Bowl teams are picked, and the annual All-America selections are made.
 The group I refer to is composed of those football fanatics who think that their local teams, and the players thereon, are the best In the nation. Unlike the bald eagle or the ring tailed titmouse, the baitat of this group Is not restricted to one area. It feeds as well off Boston baked beans as 1t does off New orleans pralines or Texas Frijones or Co., lumbia river trout,
 have covered the baked bean, praline, frijole, and trout sections since I left New York ,and I have yet to visit @ town which doesn't have 6 potential Rose Bowl team, and super All-American player. And, SO help me Martha (Martha's a sister of the copable and oft- called on Hannah, the town is usu- ally right In Its estimate. Please remember, all All-Americas don't get their names in the papers. For every man who is honored publicly each December, there are a dozen who played just as well. The forgotten men just happened to do their playing In the wrong place, Bally Hoo-ly speaking.
 But enough of that. The latest super-player to be brought to my attention is George Karamatic, a grocer's son who holds down the chair of fullbackS at Gonzaga Uni- versity of this northwestern city. George Is not Q stranger to me. He was selected as all Pacific coast fullback last yes.r, and gave Sam Francis of Nebraska e close run for top honors and you've got to be better than @ fair hand at fullback- ing to give Francis @ close shake.
 It seems that Karamatic Is even better this year. He has added @ few pounds to his chassis, few twists and shimmies to his hips, and up- stairs has made the most modern Improvements In his mental den. My authorities for these remarks are all the Spokane voters I have seen since arriving here yesterday. All of them went overheard for Kara matte, with ana without life pre- servers. They swear that he Is the best back this section -- meaning all of the northwest and the Pacific coats -- has seen since George Wil- son hung up his tack at the Univer- sity of Washington.
 The very mention of him in the same sentence with Wilson Is Q tribute, because more than one coach has told me that Wilson, all things considered, was the best foot ball player ever to help a coach build character. And, as you know, nothing helps coach build charac- ter and mould young manhood so much as 0 back who can pick up
