FARM EFFORTS “Profound Readjustments” Seen by Secretary Wailace Unless Changes Are Brought About. | NEW YORE, April 29.—Unleas there t= @ quick reduction in rafiroad freight rates to “about pre-war levels” or the prices of agricultural products in crease sufficiently to equal the rate advance, there will be “profound read. justments” in agricultural’ production involving Teadjustments in industry as well, Secretary Wallace of the agr cultural department declared tn an ai Gress before the New York Acad emy of Political science. The “blight ing effect” upon agricylture of th present levél of freight rates, the src retary said, “can hardly be compre hended.” What he regarded as the probab! @fect of present rates continued “for any length of time” were summarize by Secretary Wallace as follows “First, to favor the farmers of Sout! America and Australia at the expense of our own farmers. (Substantial decrease in ocean rates emphasired the disadvantage of the American farmer, he pointed out.) “Second, to keep prices on farm products in the large surplus produc- ing states at figures lower than are justified by the investment in land and equipment and cost of production “Third, prolong the period of dissat faction among farmers and encourage advocates of economic fallacies of all sorts. “Fourth, improve the position of eastern truck and fruit growers but add considerably to the cost of milk and dairy products because of the ad vanced prices of hay and coarse grains necessarily shipped in from the west. “Fifth, gradually shift industrial en terprises westward, nearer the sur. Pius food producing territory. “Sixth, promote sectional rather than national spirit and make more and more difficult national policies ‘with respect to international affairs." Present freight rates impose a tax on the farmer of the surplus produc- ing states, Mr. Wallace said. “The most hopeful sign of the pres. ent time is the apparent recognition of the railroad management that our present high rates cannot be continued inaster to the raftroads them selves and that rates must com» down to @ potnt not lower, if any, abuve the | PUZZLED BY DISCOVERY Just one question now disturbs the mind of W. E. Tubbs, veteran justice of the peace. The Volstead law and youthful violators are the contribut- ing details. ‘The judge recently happened upon & discovery which in all probability gives Casper the negative distine- tion of having within its confines two of the youngest liqror law vio- lators in the country. How to handle the case is what is troubling the judge. Should the same punishment be meted out to the youths, one lad ageq 10 years and the other 12, or should the probe go | farther in an effort to tack the re- sponsibility for the violaton on some other person. ‘The offense constitutes a violation of the prohibition law in its widest sense. The two lads are said to have been caught in the act of distilling some kind of “fire water” and to have trying to make whiskey. sing the most primitive equip- ment and the vilest smelling mash possible, the youths were in the act of realizing on their endeavors when their operations were interrupted. The equipment consisted of one tin can, into which was inserted a tube of doubtful composition. Al though the can was not sealed the boiling fluid which had been heated over a miniature bonfire was giving off steam which condensed in the coil and gave off an occasional drop of fluid which in all probability would test as a distilled fluid of suf- ‘icient proof to constitute a viola- tion of the anti-prohibition law. The mash, sour and foul smelling in said by the youths to have been made from a composition of small grains soaked in water and pounded to give off the juices. With the case under advisement although the lads have never been detained Judge Tubbs ts perplexed. “This calis to mind” said the judge, “an argument I once had with an attorney who was an active agent in behalf of prohibition on the value of the federal law as relating to the future gener .tion. He contended that the future generation would know nothing of Uquor and that mankind would be saved from the dangers of alcoholism. “I believe generally upon this topic that good results will be obtained but I think also that the law will make criminals of some of the chil- dren, who make up the future gener- ation. “In some manner bootlegging, prewar levels.” TRAFFIC VIOLATORS ARE FINED BY COURT Probably few persons have such ability to ferret out the forbidden nectar as W. F. Newman, who arrived in Casper night before Jast after driv. ing a car from Colorado and was ar- rested for drunkenness within half an hour after bis arrival. Newman ‘was fined $5( .or carrying concealed weapons and $25 for being drunk. "fhe car he had driven, a Buick six 4s being held at he police court on general principles until Newman can prove his right to drive it. C. Pickett was fined $25 for en- dangering the lives of children with his Ford racer, the one with the skull and creesbones. It is alleged that he ‘was going in excess of 30 miles an hour, which is more than double the speed Tmit. ‘Two minor traffic violations were masessed $5 each. —— Tues., Wed. and Thurs.
