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.

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.

Pledge for Clean Pictures
From the Milwaukee Journal.
Will H. 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

to choose between them, however,
they would prefer the Bolshevikl, as

TODAY
BY ARTHUR BRISBANE.
Saturday, August 23. 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

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.

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

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.
