These meddlesome schemes have nothing to do with
reform. The Sun, for it's part has had patience with
the cry put off reform until recovery accomplished
1t has seemed to that genuine reform must be consistent
with recovery.
Correction of abuses in stock exchanges and in security
issues correction of holding company evils safeguards
against corrupt trade practices (Which not to be
fused with underselng formerly called "chiselng" by
this Admnstration) protection of the rights of labor
(Which is not to be confused with the grant of special
privileges); establishment Of unemployment insurance
and od-age pensons-such are the things that slow
down the business man. The business adjust
himself now, in the past, to broad general we'll defined
rules And the past, he carry extra loads Of
legitimate character if given stable terms of operation
precisely individual may give extra help to family
friends if left free to perform his job and collect his
salary.
1t is the constant meddlng from Washington with what
is supposed to be free competitive economy the constant
interference with the free initiative which provides the
motive power Of economy that bedev the business
and that has put him into the state Of uncertainty
which is best illustrated by the completely stagnant market

average business who has much association with
Mr. Morgan and the sixty families" he had with
the former Emperor of Abyssina.
This is a problem to which Congress should give its
attention as assemblies today in the midst Of depression

Lucas Tells Kiwanis Change
Almost Providential In
View OF Cotton Status

How rural identification is help

to radical changes in agricultural
policies and methods made neces-
sary by a changing economic or
der, was described here yesterday
by John Paul Lucas, vice-presi-
dent of the Duke Power company
in an address to the klWanls
club. He was presented by }. L.
Fain, chairman of the clubs agri-
culture committee.
Mr.. Lucas first reminded his
audience that the commercial wei,
fare of towns and cities is still
largely dependent on the well be-
ing of the agricultural industry,
and then said that due to loss OF
the diminishing of cotton and 9TH
err markets, restriction of crop
acreage and other factors, the
farmers themselves are being
forced to turn to other activities
such as dairying, poultry raising
trucking, plant growing in order
to secure adequate financial re-
turns. In effect this transition
Mr.. Lucas said, two circumstances
seem to be almost providential:
Industrial development ha:
created an at-home market fol
products other than cotton, to
bacco and other major crops, anc

has come down to the place where

Carolinas and that in 1887 the
cost of electrical service to these
customers had been reduced t.
3.95 cents per kilowatt hour from
SO cents in 1924.
"The largest item in the cos
