If suit doesn't suit your fancy
you will find dresses just as cap
tivating. 1t is very smart this year
to wear a straight line and simple
black or navy blue dress under a
silk print coat or redingote' plain.
In these ensembles the print used
is generally black and white or a
navy and white one. Remember.
whether it is suit or a dress, you
want the waist nipped in. Snug

are fashion ''musts" this season.

Fay Cooper gave his friends a

The consumer now holds the
pole position as the forgotten

briefly to the Fair Trade Practices
Act, which is now before the Sem
ate committee on General Legisla-
ton. The bill, in it's original form,
was vicious in the extreme. I well
realize that the merchant must be
protected against unfair competi-

would replace him in the gilded
seat to the disadvantage of the
consumer. Everyone wants to see
the merchant fair we'll The Lord
knows his path has not been strew-

real agency that has fought for the

THE NEWS BEHIND THE
NEWS IN THE LEGISLATURE
(By Vim Weber,

'The fight must go on. The
cause Of civil liberty must not be
surrendered at the end of one or
even one hundred defeats"
So said the immortal Lincoln in
a letter to H. Asbury, on November
10, 1858 and today those words rise
to haunt us not infrequently, for
civil liberty is rapidly becoming
something of a misnomer, though
the courts go on interruptedly.
And one of those fights which
had something to do with civil
liberty" occurred in the Senate
this week when the much talked
of bill on "the manufacture and
sale of oleomargarine came up in
the Senate for consideration on
General Orders. The bill had been
on General Orders for weeks and
had been progressed" from time to
time. To one who receives much
mail, the delay was premeditated
sympathy in the rural districts and
start an avalanche of letters, petit
tons, resolutions and what have
you, in support of the bill. But
such sinister motives were unavail-
ing for after some three or four
hours of consideration, during
which the stentorian voices of not
a few of the Senators Fitted the
rafters, the bill was finally killed
by a vote of 35 to 81.
This writer was not member of
the committee which heard the
pros and cons Of the BILL but he
heard plenty of argument on the
floor-aplenty to have him vote
against the bill when his original
plans to vote therefore. 1t was a
peculiar proposition. On the one
hand there was Senator Fay GRAY
ems, author of the bill urging its
passage and threatening members
of the Senate of the eternal wrath
of agriculturists and dairymen If
they dared to oppose it, and on the
other hand there were agricultur-
lists and dairymen fighting the bill
as too drastic and one which would
bring about retaliatory measures
in states buying Minnesota butter,
notably the southern states.
It was Senator Arvid Ruotsinoja
Of Meeker county, dirt farmer,
and real thinker who sounded the
economic, logical, indisputable
facts that caved in the best that
Senator Cravens had to offer. 1t
was learned that not single
dairy organization appeared before
the committee considering the bill
in opposition to 1t, and of course.
when such organizations as the
Land O. Lakes, the Farm Bureau
and the Twin City Milk Producers
Association, and their like, did not
appear in opposition it gave Sen
ate members reasons for suspicion
that all was not well.
Rumors in Capitol corridors are
to the effect that there will be a
house cleaning in the Tax Commits
sion office. In these days when
taxes are an all absorbing question
nothing Is more important than
able, conscientious men on this
Commission. Down in Lincoln
county, A. l.. Swenson for many
years County Auditor, proved his
worth as tax expert. He resigned
his position to accept an equally
important position with the Mill.
er-Davis company. The tax ques-
ton is his hobby. He knows tax
laws and tax problems as do few
men. If there is to be any change
Governor Benson could do no bet
ter than to place A. L. in a key
position in the department. II

Proposed Commission May
Set Up Code of Fair
Competition.

Establishment of an Interstate
Prison Commission to promote CO.
operation among the States in elm
mating idleness in prisons was recon-
mended today by Secretary Howard b.
Gill of the Association Of States at
the Interstate Prison Conference IN
session at the Raleigh Hotel.
The conference was called to dis
cuss prison problems after the United
States Supreme Court several weeks
ago upheld the Ashurst-Sumners act
prohibiting the sale of prison products
in States which forbid such sale by
law
The proposed commission would also
aid in establishing fair competition
between prison industry and free in
dustry. and in promoting the general
welfare of penal institutions and the
more effective treatment for all con-
victed persons.
Gill also proposed bill giving the
Attorney General authority to provide
for collection and dissemination OF
information concerning crime preven-
ton, release procedures, and the treat
ment of criminals by the States and
municipalities. The bill also called
for promotion of cooperation between
the Department of Justice and State
agencies.
DR.. Louis N. Robinson, chairman OF
the Prison Industries and Reorgani-
zation Administration, outlined the
surveys being made of prison condi-
tions in the States. He deplored
some existing conditions, stressing the
scant knowledge Of the prison officials
of various States concerning the men
In their charge.
"A decent probation system would
in many cases aid in solving the
prison idleness question" Robinson
said.
In many cases there are two or
three times as many persons in prisons
as should be there" he added.
Sanford Bates, director Of Federal
prisons, was scheduled to address the
conference this afternoon on How the
Federal Bureau of Prisons Can Help

The Government seeks title to a
S10,0O0.000 section of oil land in Kern

Co, Chase National Bank Of New
York, Bank of America, Tide Water

Defendants claim title to the land
on the ground that 1t was conveyed
