C.) for 1983 crop produc- tion loans from unexpended bal- ances now held by the agriculture department was voted Wednesday by the senate agriculture committee. As this bill and a measure by Sen- ator Cutting (Rep., N. M.) were vir- tually identical, the committee did not act on Cutting proposal, nor was any action taken on a measure by Senator Bratton (Dem., N.

Editor, Tribune: At this time, when everyone from the man on the corner, to our high- yest officials, i8 bending every effort to.effect reduction in the expense of government, it should not come amiss to call attention to a law that has done much harm to the farmers of this state. This is the law that makes com- pulsory the licensing of stallions in this state. In effect the law states that in order to charge a fee for the service of a stallion the owner must secure a license from the state board. To pass the examination all horses are examined by a state vet- erinarian. The horses that are reg- istered are given a license when they have minor blemishes, but those that are called “grades” are not. A Mongrel cannot be licensed, and this is the phase of the law that has cost the farmer. A mongrel horse, it must be re- membered, is not necessarily a horse of inferior quality, but is so called to show that neither his dam or his sire are registered. This law has cut down the num- ber of horses. The farmer who had @ small bunch of mares could not afford to buy a registered horse for his own use and he could not afford to:keep a good horse for whose colts he could not charge his neighbors. And if there happened to be a regis- tered horse in the neighborhood he could not afford, in the face of the low prices for horses in the past few years, to pay a high service fee for his. colts. As a consequence, row that farmers are going back to the horse, the supply does not equal the demand. But the shortage of horses is not all this law is responsible for. It was claimed by the sponsors of this law that it would better the quality of the horses on the farms. But has it? Ask any horseman who has no axe to grind and his answer will be an emphatic no. It has failed in its purpose. Aside from what it has cost us in numbers and quality the actual cost has been approximately $100,000 since this law was passed, and the time it has taken to take these horses to town to have them exam- ined, to say nothing of the posters etc.) Now, while we are in the mood to clean house, it is up to us to make known to our representatives in the state legislature that we want these useless expenditures eliminated, whether they are paid for in taxes or whether they are paid for by those who receive the doubtful benefit of their existence. In other words, the sooner we show those who have crammed laws down our throats in the past that.we do not. want or need, that we are going to run our own business, that much sooner are we going to get back on our own feet. Yours truly, HENRY PAVEY. — A PLAIN TRAIL Miami, Fla.—Police had very little trouble following the trail of wreck- age left by Governor Banks, Negro truck driver. Banks was intoxicated, and after a collision with a street car he ran amuck. He led the emergency squad a thrilling and tortuous race througli:the city leaving in his wake trail well marked with parts from his truck and the wréckage of two automobiles which he smashed.

Dec. 21.—(?)— Chanceilor E. Guy Cutshall of Ne- braska Wesleyan university Wed- nesday was informed that more than 100 students at the college ‘openly disobeyed a 45-year-old edict—a rule as old as the college itself—in holding a dance at a local hotel Tuesday night. Faculty representatives said the “flagrant violation” of the rule might precipitate a wide breach at the university, not only between faculty and students, but between students themselves. “The university board,” the chancellor said, “is split on the question of dancing.” DELEGATION OUSTS M’FADDEN Washington, Dec. 21.—(#)—The Pennsylvania Republican house dele- gation Wednesday voted to oust Rep- Tesentative McFadden as secretary of the delegation because of his attacks on President Hoover.

McFadden failed to comply. @ CHINESE BALANCE BUDGET Nanking, China, Dec. 21—)—Des- Pite the world depression and the slump in silver, the Chinese budget was balanced without resorting to loans, said Finance Minister T.

Strange But True News Items of Day (By the Associated Fress) Nightgowns Too Big Chicago—For two days an old-look- ing .man trudged about the cold streets, begging a dime here and a quarter there. At night, tired from tramping, he sought refuge in flop- houses, but he couldn't sleep, because he found the nightgowns were “ter- rible.” The “old man” was nohe other than Dr. Herman Bundesen, president of the Chicago board of health, who disguised himself‘as a tramp. He was out to feel the pulse of human misery. The flophouses were clean and com- fortable, he said, but the nightgowns were so big “they bothered me and I couldn’t sleep.” And the panhandling business was rather @ success—$2.32 to be exact. Difficult for Mother Chicago—Such is life; always full of problems. The problem that confronted Mrs. Valeria Krol was this “What shall I do with my son, Stanley, who confessed he had committed his first crimes participating in several robber- ies?” She solved it by turning him over to the wolice. It was, she said, “the right thing to do.” Stanley is her only son.
