Spread of Zoning System. “MORE than fifteen million people in the United - States live in zoned cities, towns and vil- Computations by the housing division of the commerce department show that the homes of ‘ages. 27 per cent of the total urban population of the} country are located in zoned municipalities and! ft follows that most of these homes are protected | from intrusion by garages, stores, warehouses or Manufacturing plants. . | Zoning regulations provide, by a neighborly kind| ¥of agreement, that a city or town shall be divided into districts in which the uses for which struc-| tures may be built, their maximum height, and the; area of the lot which they may cover, are estal {lished. In line with the zoning plan, certain di tricfs are set le for residences, for apartment) houses, for office buildings, and for manufacturing. ‘Ample provision is made for normal growth of, (business and industrial districts. but the build-/ ter of a garage or factory is not allowed to erect it) (within a residential neighborhood regardless of | the annoyance and money losses inflicted on sur-) ¢ ‘rounding home owners. ‘ Investigation shows that in 1922 zoning spread, especially rapidly in smaller places. Fourteen) towns with five to ten thousand inhabitants were zoned during the year, bringing the total zoned “towns in this class to twenty-three. Twelve places “with 5,000 inhabitants or less were added to the list in 1922, bringing the total in that class to seventeen. The percentage of large cities which have already zoned remains much greater, of course, and of the fifty largest cities in the country, twenty-two have zoneing ordinances in effect. In the entire country, 109 cities, towns and vil- vere zoned on January 1, 1923, as compared just one year before. ew York, the largest city in the country, has been zoned since 1916, and in contrast, the smallest} zoned community had only 131 inhabitants accord-| ing to the 1920 census. Eighty-one per cent of the urban population of New York state lives in zoned municipalities. Oalifornia ranks second among the states with 71 per cent of her urban population zoned; Minnesota, third, with per cent; New| Jersey, fourth, with 57 per cent; and Utah, fifth, | with 55 per cent.

'§ FEW MONTHS ago the joint commission of agricultural inquiry made a report upon “The Agricultural Crisis and Its Causes Tt was printed before any of the “hokum” about the American farmer being dependent upon foreign! markets had become “the proper thing’ for interna- tionalists, League of Nations partisans, free tra ers and those who simply indulge in such “bunk” +because they imagine it to be popular. The report represents months of exhaustive research. It represents the mature and delib erate thought of those who signed it. It was is-| Bued as nn economic document, not as a piece of political or international propaganda. Those who issued it were Senators Capper of} Kansas; McNary, of Oregon; Lenroot, of Wiscon- sin: Harrison of Mississippi, and Robinson of Ar Anderson, of Minnesota; Funk, of Illinois; Sumners, of Eyck, of New York 1 of the report v ives .of New York id Ten porti la devoted to tables owing the relation of farm prices to ex ports and domestic consumption. These tables cover every y from 1890 to 1920. The report al-| 60 contains brief conclusions based upon. these} tables. “In general,” says this report issued by the| above named members of the congress, “the price of wheat has decreased in years of low domest and increased “8 I consumption in periody of high| consumption rhaps the most notable) fact shown by this table is the tremendous drop! in the wheat during 1920, notwithstanding | an export Tt probable that itable wholly to the consumption. which in 1920 16 per capita, and the heginning nance of industrial depression.” to quote a eonelusion at by this tables companing the he consumption of beef bears a very close to urban employment or unemployment | a declines rapidly in periods of industrial de-| Ness * The tables accompaning the report ull bear out 2S seems r Imost di cont Again commission, report relation arrived based upon c ‘The ayerage price of wheat | No. 2 hard was 13 cents higher. In fact, farm prices, | throughout 1922 were higher than in 1921. _ The report of the department of commerce just! issued compares exports of food products for the| year 1922 with the year 1921. It shows our exports} of fresh beef for the year 1922 were only one-third | in quantity what they were the previous year, yet, {as the above figures show, the price of cattle is, higher than in 1921 The exports of fresh pork for 1922 were less than half the quantity they were in 1921. “The exports of bacon were 75,000,000 pounds less than | in 1921. Yet the price of hogs are higher than they were in 1921, The exports of wheat were 116,000,000 less bush- els in 1922 than they were in 1921. Yet the price | of wheat is higher now than it was in 1921. The above figures make ridiculous the propa- ganda about the American farmer depending upon European markets for his prosperity. The reason farm products are selling for more today than in 1921 is the increased domestic consumption of farm products. This in turn is\due to the increase in employment in American industries. Four mil- lion more workers are earning wages than a year ago. This means they and their families’ are again in the market buying white bread, beef and pork products, and other food products of the American farm. His Own Words Plague Him. |MHE McAdoo boom for the Democratic nomina- tion for the presidency in 1924 is well under way. The progress it makes depends upon many), things. Its worst handicap is the record of fooi-} |ish things which Mr. McAdoo, himself, has said at times—statements which will live to plague him because they brand him either as an unthink- | ing man who gives vent to irresponsible statements (or an out-and-out demagogue who purposely makes ements in order to play up to popular preju- dice. One of these misstatements, which is typical of others was made in a speech at Council Bluffs, Towa, October 23, 1922, when, of the news associations, Esch-Cummins act is forcing the public to pay per cent net on valuation of all railroads.’ statement is false. It has not the slightest foun- dation. The truth of the situation is as follows: The Esch-Cummins act, also known as the Trans- portation act, provided for the return of railroads |to private operation following their operation by | the McAdoo Railroad Administration. This act provided that the transfer from public to private operation should take effect March 1, 1920. The provided further that in order that the rai roads might get on their feet after twenty-si months of mismanagement of the McAdoo admin. istration, they should be given a guaranteed income for six months from March 3, 1920. This guarm- tee should be equi cent upon the valuation of railroad properties. Under the provisions of the Esch-Cummins act it- self, this guarantee stopped September 1, 1920. Since that date there has been no guarantee by the government of the income of any railroad. Since that time the government has not paid to any rail- road one penny in the form of any guarantee. The proof that the railroads have not been guaranteed income by the government and have not been id anything by the government since September 1, 1920, is furnished by the records of the Interstate Commerce Commission, These records show from September 1, 1920 to August 31, 1921, the railroads earned a net operat- ing income of $523,598,172 which was equivalent to 2.81 per cent of their valuation. This is all the income the railroads had. This figure covers all railroads in the United States. Some of the roads did not have any net income but faced a deficit as the result of a year's operation from September 1, 1920, to August 31, 1921. During the second year of their operation under the Esch-Cummins act—September 1, 1921, to Au- gust 31, 1922—the net operating income of.all rail- roads was $781,673,377. This was equivalent to 4.1 per cent of their valuation. Again this income was all the income they received. The government did not add one penny to their income either year in order to make up the difference between what they earned and what they would have earned had their.earnings been 5 1-2 per cent on their valua- tion. Again, during this second year, some roads did not earn any net income. The latest data upon this matter is that fur- nished by the records of the Interstate Commerce commission for the month of November, 1922, and for the first eleven months of the calendar year 1922. This data shows that the railroads during the first eleven months of 1922 earned a net operat- ing income of 4.02 per cent of their valuation or $693,134,700. During the first eleven months of the year 1922 the roads of the eastern district had a net operating,income which was the equivalent of 4.51 per cent on their valuation. During the first eleven month of 1922, the roads of the southern dis- trict had a net operating income of 4.92 per cent of | their valnation. During this period the roads of the western district had a net operating income of 1 per cent of their net valuation. During the month of November, thirty-four railroads had op- erating deficits, of which sixteen were in the east- ern district, three in the southern, and fifteen in the western. Ys gh tt ‘Amazons Coming Back. EE PROPHET has spoken. Listen to his words of wisdom. He says the Amazons wil! return and the latter days of the world will be ruled by skirts. Through processes of selection, propaga- tion and training a mighty race of women will be developed. VPossibly the weaklings and the males will be drowned, but anyhow the reins of power nd authority will pass into the keeping of the Amazons. There will be a flock of Brunhildes ca- »le of wielding the sword.» There will be, a pet- ticoat in the s of the mighty. Luckily lots of us will have passed on before the ay of the new Hippolyte comes. The Amazon in- undation cannot possibly come while so many of the ladies are busy creaming their faces. If we are to have a race of regular fighting women it will be after Jack Dempsey has fled the scene. Just now the ladies are too busy with their hairpins and vanity cases to carry heavy artillery. <A hat- pin is a nasty weapon, but it is seldom fatal and it does not inspire dread. But the prophet says that the reconstruction of the world must come through a race of mighty women—reared for that purpose. They must not only be able to meet force with force, but to over- come it. They will arise from various nations. The new Russian women will be conspicuous in strength and leadership and they will sweep bol- shevism from the world by might of arm. Pos: sibly they may give us a sex socialism instead, but, at any rate, the men will not be intrusted with office or responsibility. It will be the junk pile for kings and walking delegates, . ~ i WHEREBY THE LiTtLe MURPHY Boy MAKES IT PosSIBLE -To SEE-SAW. WitH HIS PuP trums, dumbells, exercisers and pub- lished systems for reducing the waist- line. Men who were formerly con- tent and complacent in thelr fatness are now making frantic efforts to escape classification in the fat man class. For France is a country where ridicule burns like mustard gas and @ phrase can kill. Ten to one the fat men of America won't care two pins about Le Belle Parysis’s reflection on the amatory gifts of the corpulent male. One of the most famous fat men’ in New York, a brilliant and competent exe- cutive, is accustomed to remarking to his éntimates, apparently with equaw- imity, that gallantry is not compatible with the proportions of a Falstaff. He draws attention to the fact that | Shakespeare wrote “Merry Wives of who had fallen in love with the char- acter of the fat knight in the histor- ical plays, and declares that otherwise the poet would never have represent- ed Sir John as laying violent siege to two married women. | “rhe comparative complacency of American fat men at being, according to Mile.

Two Can Play the Game. Whatever might break loose if our revered friend the immovable object were swatted by our enterprising neighbor the irresistible force, it | would not necessarily be more discon: certing than the consequence of a col- ston between the psyches of two autosuggestion fans, each trying sur- reptitiously to practice on the other.
