the fact that members of the Committee
on Agriculture have insisted that this
must be no hurry up" legislation. The
Senate committee considered the meas
ure for week and then reported its bill.
Two excuses are given for the haste, one,
that by reporting the farm bill it was
possible to turn back for the time being
at least the anti-lynching bill. Southern
Senators have f1libustered for a week
against that bill. The chairman of the
Agriculture Committee is Senator Smith
of South Carolina. The other reason for
haste was to get the Presidents legisla-
tive program underway in Congress,
where it has stalled.

The action Of the Senate committee
and the effort of the House Committee
on Agriculture to speed up farm bill,
too, seems to indicate that the Presi-
dent is receiving that cooperation from
Congress for which he called. 1t may
be that under the surface there is
seething revolt against the White
House leadership. There is, indeed,
plenty of talk behind the scenes. But
1t has not come much into the open so

long ago for the political scalps of those

posed the Roosevelt court bill last ses-
sion, have piped down bit 1t has

 There was a step beside her. And this one," said voice.
 The young artist was standing be- side her with his hat of, the wind ruffling his wavy, light brown hair.
 "I'm sorry, but isn't this your bag, also?" he queried again.
 "Yes-but how?"
 The young man smiled a little. q didn't have very discriminat- ing red cap. He should have real- ized that a smart suitcase didn't match the rest of my luggage. I as- sure you that I don't, as a rule, go about grabbing of other peoples things"
 The smile revealed even white teeth and brought 8 humorous light to his eyes. He was much nicer in this mood, Jill decided. Every time she had seen him in Europe, he had seemed in a perfect frenzy.
 She had decided that he had painted all Europe. It had been misunderstanding into him in three widely separated places. And she had never forgiven him for not really seeing her any of those times.
 If he didn't remember, that was worse than being rude. He should be punished. Jill proceeded to punish. ...
 "1t's quite all right" she said. II can understand how the mistake oc- cured, with our luggage so stuck-up with stamps. I got my Stickers at a funnny little shop where they sell them wholesale to people who want to spend all their time in Paris, yet who also want to dazzle the folks

 I'LL was also thinking about a J queer world. Queer and wonder full. .- "# t.
 Here she was sitting in a taxi with g. young man whose image she had carried with her for thousands of miles. An engrossed and very hand some young man.
 - How angry he had looked shout ing at Miss Benedict that day when they were doing cathedrals" in England. It had been 8 beautiful old gate that he wanted to paint. Hoary with age, with an ancient beauty in its moss-covered stones and hand-hewn grill.
 She had sympathized with him when Miss Benedict refused to budge, assembling an endless array of cultural facts to carry away. She remembered tl,a1 she and Elizabeth Endsley had w.Jdered away from the scene of battle, leaving Miss Benedict standing in the gateway a picture of injured pride!
 All around Jill and the young artist surged and roared the big city. Big and glorious, Jill thought, and golden with sunlight today. Noisily changing with attention because 1t was young and lusty. Not bit like those gray, staid old English towns the young artist had revelled in painting.
 But this was her city. It was not his, she knew. The English accent was unmistakable. She hoped he would like 1t here. Surely, he could find something paintable in this vast panorama.

 Not very. It's nice that you have family at home aiting to welcome you"
 Jill thought there was a rather wistful sound to his voice.
 She spoke impulsively.
 "YeS. But of course we're not the regular kind of family. You see my father is only my stepfather. He had loved my mother before she married first time. And after her huSband-(my father) died, then dad married mother. He's been ex- actly like real father to Jack-my brother-and to me, too. And to Barry, also. All of us took the Wentworth name."
 "Who is Barry?"
 T suppose he's sort of step- step brother. You see, after mother died, dad married again. Another widow, with 8 son--Barry-who Is just a little younger than Jack. We're rather mixed up, aren't we? Now about you?"
 CT CAME over on the same ship,
 Il Tourist" the young man re- piled simply. "It's much cheaper. After a summer of travel, there wasn't much left. But I had been cooped up so long, I had to move about, if I starved afterward."
 "Cooped up2"
 "1n a studio in Paris. And be- fore that"
 Before that?" Jill prompted.
 "Oxford, the Sorbor.ne, the Beaux Arts"
 "Ohl" There was a world Of re- spect in Jill's exclamation.
 'There were some places I'd al- ways wanted to paint. So went off and painted them. I had practical purpose back of it all, of course."
 If Miss Benedict were here now, Jill thought, I'd strangle her. He had traveled a long distance just to paint that gate.
 And now" the young man con- cluded, I'm here."
The Waterbury Democrat., 1937-10-20

Surely, Davis, the chauffeur, should be arriving by now, anyway. very apologetic about the delay.
 Other luggage was being piled near the curb as shining motors and taxis contested for vantage positions.
 In the tumble of travel impedi- menta, Jill saw Ter own smart lug gage rubbing noses with several shabby bags, which bore, neverthe- less, as many foreign stamps as her own.
 Not far away the owner of these was arguing with porter. The young man appeared much con- cerned about one very large and battered case. There was a bellig- erent squafing of his shoulders. And then Jill gaSped. The young man turned. It couldn't be {. But 1t was, the same young artist who had persisted in cropping up in her pathway over all Europe.
 But how had he reached the United States at the very momen: of her own arrival? He couldn't have come over on the same ship. If he had, she couldn't have missed him.

 "How did you know Miss Benedict was an old maid?" Jill asked, smil- ing.
 Externally fussy." the young man answered.
 "She was quite right to be fussy," Jill retorted, "when you practically ordered us of the premises every time we saw you. Madame you said, If you would only come back with your pupils later in the day or earl- fer in the day. How can you expect me to paint that gateway with the sun, slanting across it, and then Miss Benedict answered T don't ex- pect you to paint 1t, young man. and then planted herself there firmly"
 Jill laughed merrily at the memory.
 "So I painted her stout presence in," the young artist went on. He was smiling, too. Very broadly.
 "Did you!" Jill breathed. T don't believe it."
 "Taxi, miss?" the driver spoke again. a patient but bored note in his voice.
 As Jill nodded, he began tum- bling both her luggage and the young artists cases into the taxi.
 Here, wait" began the young masl, protesting.
 "There's plenty of room," Jill spoke quickly.
 "Well, thanks. I'll be dropping out soon."
 "Just drive," Jill told the bewil- dered cab driver, adding as she turned to the young man, there's a string of hotels around this sec- tion-on Park Avenue, on Lexing- ton"

SSILLY of me not to have cabled!" Jill Wentworth decided.
 She was one of gay crowd that had surged down the gangplank onto the docks and out into the sunshine-a crossing from Europe just behind.
 During the year of study and travel she had not felt even one little twinge of nostalgia, she thought riby homesck In all the big crowd milling about her kissing, batting, shaking hands or rapturously hugging- there was not one welcome for her.
 A red cap stacked her baggage down beside her and made off with generous tip, while Jill stood casting bewildered looks about her.

His voice carried. "You want to get out here, sir?" the driver called back.
 "Just as well here a5 anywhere" the young man replied. Drop me off at the next corner by that sub way entrance"

enterprise. There can be no mon
opoly where consumers have a choice
OF service.
One result of this condition is in
teresting. Many forward-looking in
dependent merchants have not joined
the groups which seek to penalize
chains with class legislation and tax
alton. To the contrary, these inde-
pendents have often opposed such
acts. They know that they can meet
the chains on their own ground and
hold their own. They realize that
class legislation knows no bounds,
and that If it once hits a part of an
industry it is only a matter of time
before all other parts will feel it
also. The capable and intelligent in
dependent retailer is willing and able
to operate under present conditions
OF fair and reasonable competition.

INSULTING LITTLE
BUSINESS MEN

Those who forecast the destruction
of small retail business in this coun-
try insult the little business man.
The life of the small retailer may
not be all beer and skittles-but, TAX
ing him by and large. he shows an
amazingly aggressive spirit. He is
up on his toes and wide awake. He
is more than eager to make improve
ments in his methods in order to at
tract customers. He provides a
brand of personal service that makes
and keeps friends.
When the chain retailing system
began its growth, some decades ago.
the pessimists said that the day of
the little Independent was done
that monopoly would swallow him.
The pessimists are still singing the
same tune--but the facts show how
badly off-kev they are. Independent
instead Of giving up the
ghost in the face of supposedly un-
chain competition, have
used their heads and thought up new
in retailing-and the
chains have had a tough time keep

The Day of Little
Business

II is often argued that the devel-
opment of large businesses-espe-
cially in retail fields-bas tended to
destroy little businesses and to make
1t next to impossible for a man
without vast capital to set up his
own establishment.
This argument has a strong ap-
peal-but apparent facts contradict
Il.
During the depression, thousands
of little businesses sprung up in this
country-largely because of the diff
ficulties of individuals in finding
employment. These little businesses
offered specialized services, or low
er prices, or were the outgrowth of
a new idea of some kind. Many Of
them found a ready welcome, and
have prospered. With the return of
better times. they are going ahead
and in due course a percentage of
them will become big businesses.
Some of these little businesses
failed-because they provided poor
service. or did not fill a definite
need. But many large business has
failed for the same reasons.
One has only to look around any
growing community today and see a
legion of opportunities in retail
lines for young men and women who
are willing towork, and realize that
riches can't be earned overnight.
Even as changing times made nee
essary big business combinations TO
serve the public. so the evolutionary
process has created a hundred op-
portunities for small retail bust
nesses where one existed genera
tion ago.

erning commission procedure and
creating commission power, didn't
know what they were doing and
made a miserable failure of the job.
The truth of the matter Is that
public utility commissions are gen.
orally manned by officials of high
calibre, whose sole aim is to pro-
tect the public interest. And the
state laws concerning the commits
sions have been the product Of a
long and sound evolutionary pro-
cess. As new conditions have arisen,
laws have been changed to conform
with them. Year after year, the po-
sition of the commissions has been
strengthened.
Those who declare state regula-
tion has failed, are condemning COM
missions which follow the due pro-
cesses of law, apply the rule Of rea-
son to the problems confronting
them and realize that unjust and ar
bitrary rulings do not serve the pub
lie interest.
