For this reason farmers are urged'
to check up on their heating equip
ment, flues and chimneys this fall
before it is put into continued use
during the winter months.
Even few simple precautions
such as barrel of water, pals and
a ladder kept for immediate use in
the event of fire will help prevent
and control farm fires. Speed is es-
sential in fighting farm fires and
convenient ladder makes any roof
fire quickly accessible.
Other precautions that will help
lower the number of farm fires is
care in storing gasoline and kero-
sene, careful disposal of rubbish and
hot ashes, and frequent inspection
of electrical wiring and appliances.
And although it has been said over
and over. don't start fire with
gasoline, kerosene or distillate. Ira
gedies still happen every week in
the year on farm homes from this

MATRIMONIAL TANGLE

One of the strangest matrimonial
mix-ups on record is reported from
Pittsburgh. John Murphy and Fran

but on account of Murphy's ex-
tremely youthful appearance he
feared to apply for a marriage Ii
cense, so friend named Letting

ed document in Murphy's name,
which was done.
To complete his good turn, Left
lingwell also went through the mar
riage ceremony with Miss Jones, re-
turned the happy bride and we'd
ding certificate over to Murphy and
called it day.
Later on, mediating no doubt
over his friends happiness, Left
lingwell took unto himself bride
of his own but their matrimonial
bark soon went upon the rocks OF
incompatibility and a divorce was
the result. Mediating again, Left
llngwel was reminded that he had
really been married to the supposed
Mrs. Murphy, confirmed her with
the fact, and suggested that she fly
with him. She flew. firing, Left.

INVESTIGATING
GOVERNMENT-IN-
BUSINESS

The country is used to investi-
cations of private business by poll
teal committees, may OF which
have proven to be ''inquisitions" in
which business has been prosecuted
and not permitted to give adequate
testimony in its own defense.
Before Congress meets again
there is to be another kind of in
vestigation which has long been
needed Acting under resolution
sponsored by Senator Byrd, the
the Treasury will investigate all
government bureaus engaged in
business, and measure them by the
accounting standards generally ap-
Piled to private enterprise.
The resolution requires the Trea-
sury officials to compile for each
agency an annual balance sheet and
profit and loss statement, together
with a description of the accounting
principles used; to appraise the as
sets of each agency as of June 80,
1889; and. in the case of lending
agencies, to compile detailed
statement of the aggregate amount
of loans made, repayments, defaults,
write-offS, etc.
A very long list of government
bureaus engaged in business will
come within the scope of the in
vestigation-such as the iva, the
RFC, the Rural Electrification Ad-
ministration, the FILA, etc And If
the investigations goes thoroughly
and without bias to the heart of the
matter, it is a safe bet that some
eye-opening information for the
taxpayers will be revealed AS the
Wall Street Journal observes, THE
dynamite which may be latent in
the appraisal requirement of the in
vestigation is indicated by the Urea
sury's experience with its last two
annual appraisals of the Commodity
Credit Corporation. The first ap-
praisal, as of March 81, 1888, dis
closed that the corporations capital
of Sl00,000,000 was impaired to the
extent of about 100000, which
was restored by Congressional ap-
preparation. The second appraisal
as of the end of March, this year,
showed further impairment of
about Sll9.000,000. )"
It's possible that some of the poll
tlcians who have most enjoyed re-
Wiling business during investiga-
tons are due for some squirming
themselves.

where one man government makes
possible a high degree of mechani-
cal efficiency and speed of action.
Therefore, they argue, we must OPP
crate on the same basis-we must
fight dictatorship with the methods
of dictators. As some cynics have
observed, this would amount to
giving up democracy in order to
save it.
Of course, "government-by-de-
cree" would last, theoretically, only
as long as the emergency. But, as
many point out, an emergency is
what the man at the top makes it
it could be extended indefinitely
During the last war President Will
son was given great dictatorial pow
ers. But Wilson was strict constr
nationalist and a Jeffersonian DEM
ocrat-he felt passionately that de-
mocracy was menaced by increas-
/ ing the powers of government ovel
the people. He accepted his grea'
powers only as a matter of bitter
necessity, and with other views anc
ambitions, could pursue diametri
cally different course.
Congress must endorse these o.
any other IN Day" laws before the.
can go into effect. 1t is doubtful i
a peace-time Congress would con
sent to abrogating democratic liber
ties. But, it is pointed out, in thu
hysterical air of real emergency
Congress might be stampeded int
doing almost anything. And tina
has a great many thoughtful peopl
seriously worried these days.

FIRE ON FARMS

The old slogan Of IAN ounce Of
prevention is worth pound of
cure" is particularly apt in the
problem of farm fires which take a
heavy toll of life and property each
year in the United States, extension
service officials say.
Last year alone farm fires in the
U. S. caused the loss of 5000 lives
and sos, 100000 in property damage.

CAN WE REMAIN
NEUTRAL?

Strong is the hope of the Ameri-
can people that we will not again
become involved in a European
war Not so strong, judging by STAN
dard public opinion polls, is the
faith that we will be able to keep
neutral. A very considerable seq
ment of the population believes that
we would eventually 60 to the aid
of the European democracies if they
were forced to wage war against the
dictatorships-at least, if the war
went on for some length of time and
the relationships seemed to have the
advantage.
And so the United States is pre-
pairing for war-and this prepared
ness does not only involve the larg-
est military expenditures in our
time history. Also involved is
plan for IN Day" Mobilization
Day., prepared largely by military
officials, which, on the outbreak of
hostilitles, would have an immedi-
ate and drastic effect on every in
dividual and every business in the
land.
Heart of the plan, of course, is a
detailed procedure for conscripting
manpower-The War and Navy De-
partment heads remember the con-
fusion that followed our entry into
the last war, and are determined
that it shall not be repeated 1t is
believed that the current plan will
make it possible to organize very
large army, for either foreign or
territorial use, in very short time
Every man within the age limits
must be ready to enter government
service, in military or other capa-
city, on call-the selection will be
made by a sort of lottery system.
Unmarried young men, in good
health, will naturally be conscript-
ed first
And industry will be modified
with equal completeness. A War
Resources Administration, stated
by important business men working
with military chiefs, will be given
gigantic authority in such matters
as regulating prices, labor, trade
and the procurement of supplies.
Industries which are believed not
essential will be discouraged, and
perhaps forced out of business.
Some industries will be taken over
and operated by government Under
any circumstances, industry, COM
merce and trade will be 100 percent
controlled by government, and Sc
we're penalties will be in store for
those who protest too much.
But this isn't all there is to the
problem-some officials have long
believed that efficient warfare de-
mands giving the executive branch
of the government undreamed-o of
dictatorial power. The President, if
they have their way, would be CIV
en- rigid control over the radio and
the press. Free speech and free
press, if he SO desired, could be vir-
tually abolished-all in the name
of the national interest. Any indi-
vidual right which those in COM
mand thought inimical to the sue
cessful prosecution of war could be
abrogated by Presidential decree.
The point of view of those who
plan such unprecedented legislation
is clear enough. They are principal
ly military men. They are greatly
concerned with the best means of
fighting a war, and they are little
concerned with democratic theories.
Any war we might become involved
in will be against dictatorships-
