M-18.14 Farmers Are Not Yet Justified In Dropping Fight for Equality From Wallace’s Farmer. Providential shortages of corn, wheat and hogs raided the Business men everywhere, both in the east and in the corn belt, say that $1 coi'n, $9 hogs and $1.25 wheat have made the farmers forget their fight for equality. If prices during the next y ;tr go as high as they would have gone under the McNary.Haugen bill, why bother to have such a bill f It seems that most people know but little about the causes of the recent rise in prices of corn, wheat and hogs. First, io the case of corn there is a definite shortage of old corn, which Wallace’s Farmer predicted in a leading editorial last February. The new crop promises to be 15 per cent, less than last year’s and a shortage of this sort almost always causes a price rise of at least 20 per cent. Second, with wheat, there is a slight shortage in the United States decided crop damage in Canada, and considerable damage in Europe. The world situation is easily 25 cents a bushel strongo* than a year ago. Third, with hogs, it has been a clear-cut case for a year that hog production would pass its peak in early 1924. Wal lace’s Farmer has been on record for nearly a year that hog prices at Chicago would go above $9 during the late summer of ! 924 prices of these products. What the business men and some farmers don’t realize is that these shortages will pass away. Much as the farmer’s income has been increased during the past two months, the fundamental situation remains unchanged. We still have a farm plant capable of producing in the average year a considerable surplus of wheat and hogs for Europe. Even though our corn crop should prove to be a complete failure and corn should go to $2 a bushel, the need of recognizing the principles of the McNary Haugen bill would still be with us. New D ivining Rod. From Living Age. Every one knows the old belief that water or precious ore can be detected beneath the surface of the earth by the diviner’s rod— a forked twig held In the hands of any person endowed with the gift of divination. Experts of the South Kensington Meuseum have been experimenting for some weeks with a new scientific instru ment which is designed to accom plish precisely the same result. This Is the Eotvos torsion balance, which is devised to indicate the direction in which a vein of ore extends. No complete report of the test has yet been made, but it has been shown that the instrument can be used in mountalnoue country as well as on flat areas, which were at first sup posed to be its only possible field. The torsion balance originally devised on the continent, but now being manufactured also in Great Britain, is operated wholly by gravi tation. It consists of a beam sus pended by a wire, a trifle over a thousandth of an inch in diameter. Two gold weights are attached at either end of the beam, one fast to the beam itself, anr\ other swinging from a fine wire two feet tong. The presence or absence underground of any material having more or less density than ordinary soil affects the balance of the beam. This effect is, ns might be expected, very slight, but is rendered perceptible by. a mag nifying mirror. The balance Is said to be useful in detecting deposits of salt and oil, as wsll as ore, and it may become useful to archaeologists, sines it is also af fected by hollow spaces beneath the surface. n. i m * - Lew Interest Rates. From Commerce and Finance. Tho cut of the rediscount rate of the New York Federal Reserve bank to 3 per cent, was the event of the week in the money markets. It is the lowest on record end the lowest of any central bank in the world, and should strengthen the position of this market in world financing. Nevertheless it had vir tually no influence on open market rates, which were already below a parity with the old rediscount rate. Commercial paper eased slightly, the choicest names going at 3 per cent, and sixty-day collateral loans could be had at 2 per cent. Call money in the outside market was 1 1-2 per cent. Time money is avail;, jle in practically unlimited supply. The weekly report of the Federal Reserve banks showed a decline of $30,000,000 in gold, which is pre sumab y put into circulation, and a drop of $20,000,000 in bills discount ed. purchases of $30,000,000 of gov ernment securities, however, caused a slifcht increase in earning assets. The r. atement of the member banks for tho week ended July 30 showed a gain of $48,000,000 in loans and discounts, entirely on stocks and bonds Deposits Jumped a hundred million, however, and Investments were increased $45,000,000. The re serve ratio dropped slightly to 82.6 per cent. The country’s money circulation per capita on August 1 was $41.36, a decline of 84 cents during July.

Hays has per uaded 17 motion picture compank.. control ling 96 per cent of the pi - rures pro duced in the Los Angeles Hollywood district to pledge themse.. os not to produce nor to aid In the distribution and exhibition of films salacious In character or title. That, p obably, is the most Important single piece of work Mr. Hays has accomplished as head of the producing organization and for it he deserves real credit. On the side of better pictures he could point at the end of lust year to 60 films which the critics had called great as against an average of less than 10 In the years preceding. On ttea side of cleaner picture;- the ob stacles have seemed almost unsur mountable at times. For the pro ducer who realized that h9 had a real duty to the publlo would be forced from his position by the com petition of another producer who was willing to truckle to the lower things In life for the sake of the box receipts. Now, if this pledge Is car ried out such competition will be eliminated. There will still be the question of what constitutes salaciousness. There will still be conflict between puritanical and liberal ideas. But we’ve all seen pictures frankly and certainly salablous. That kind must go, and with this will come a grad ual raising of standards. Through With The Czars. A. Margolin in Current History Magazine. The chances of a restoration of tho monarchy in Russia are now prac tically negligible. Even should the Russian monarchists succeed, their victory would be only temporary and they would be unable to retain power. Besides the opposition of pegsa nts and the workmen, the heterogeneousness of the nationality composing the population in that part of tho world will be an insurmountable obs tacle to any permanent restoration. ITkraln lans, Tartars, White Russians, Georgians and others will never agree to fall again under the power of the "czar of Moscow.” Tho old Russia of the czars—that prison of peoples—is too fresh in their mem ories. . , At this moment the l asantry of Ukraine and the Cs.-icss.is are in a very inimical and Irreconcilable spirit toward Moscow and aiJ the.?.

Mars conies within thirty five million miles of us. Not to come so close again for 200 years. It Is too much to hope for any message from our highly educated older brother ir space. A planet millions of yeart older than we are probably looks upon us as a full grown man looks at a new baby biting its toes, con sidering us something interesting to look at, but too young to b 1 taught. Mr. Davos says the Issue Is “the constitution versus radicalism in the United States.” That ts all right for a short campaign, but there isn't much substance in it. Tli6 radicalism of today sometimes be comes good United States consti tutionalism of tomorrow. The income tax was radical Learxed supreme court judges de clared it unconstitutional. “Finan cial respectability" denounced it, It is in the constitution now. And so of woman surrrage, once so highly ridiculous. That's in the constitution now. „***— To interfere with child labor, highly profitable, in fact essential to profit in certain sections, is called “radicalism,” or worse—so cialism or anarchy. But that will be In the constitution soon. It was radicalism once to suggest that slaves should be free. In New Jersey, when someone printed a prayer book showing a negro in chains kneeling at the feet of the Saviour, along with other unfor tunates, the picture was rejected bv church authorities. It was call ed "radical,” and “respectability” felt that a negro in chains was all right. The constitution now holds the radical statement that a black skin shouldn’t deprive a human being of his human rights. Mrs. Borden, novelist, says “love is played out as a theme for novels, the subject has been squeezed ory. “Love and sex,” she thinks, are both out of date, but she Is mistak en. As soon as man was created, it was noticed that something was missing. Eve was produced, then along came the snake, forming the first “triangle.” Early legends con cerning that snake are queer. Ask the moving picture makers. They will tell you that whether you show fho wild west or the crafty east, you must drag In your "love storyT or miss your crowd. The public prosecutor demands death for young Deopold and Loeb. “If they do not deserve hanging, no murderers ever did deserve It.” The qutstion, however, Is not alone “what the young murderers de serve,” but also, “what does the public deserve?” Everybody admits that putt ins n en to the torture in judicial pro ceedings was demoralizing, degrad ing. Nobody would restore the tor ture. Ravaillac, who killed Henry IV, may have “deserved” to be killed by torture inch by Inch. The question is, did the French people deserve to have that disgrace put upon them? The young Chicago murderers de serves death if any criminals ever did deserve it, assuming their men tal responsibility, and putting them out of the way, by hanging, would be the most humane course as re gards their parents, who can never know a day’s peace or safety while the young men live. But what do civilization and re spect for Justice deserve? Is a civilization that hangs or electro cutes essentially different from an earlier civilization that subjected criminals to the torture? Henry Ford will sell soft coal from his mines la Kentucky. Hav ing big plants far west on the lakes, Ford might develop and per haps concentrate the northwestern deposits of lignite. Billions of tons of It await development and could supply all the fuel of the northwest. The by-products should pay for all the work. Ford, In addition to selling coal, should be selling fertilizer In quan tities to the farmers. He would be doing that soon if the lawmakers would allow him to develop Muscle Shoals Instead of withholding It to oblige the fertilizer and power gentlemen. George Gustow shocks the world by confessing that he has set lire to fifty houses. "I love the uproar and the smoke,” says this son of a respectable lawyer, and all are horrified. Yet the great equestrian monuments erected on this earth to "famous men" were built to honor individuals that, like Mr. Gustow, ‘‘enjoyed the uproar and the smoke,” of battle. Gustow set fire to empty houses only, risking no lives, so it Is hard ly fair to associate his name with that of the world's great "heroes.” Keep Up the Fight. From the Des Moines Register. If the farmer is contenting him self with the sudden rise in prices, and thinking there is nothing more for him to worry about he is not wise. The farmer Is at the beginning merely of stabilizing his market and so adjusting sales of each year's crop as to keep his market stabilized. If he is getting a little temporary advantage out of the present prices and is able to establish himself a little more firmly that Is to his ad vantage in the struggle that is ahead of him.
