HOW TO RUIN A FARM MARKET This year’s wheat crop is expect- ed to exceed 800,000,000 bushels. With an estimated carry-over from last year of at least 130,000,000 bushels, there will be an available supply of near 1,000,000,000 bush- els next fall, 200,000,000 bushels more than required for home con- sumption and export. Now modestly comes the Amer- ican Farm Bureau Federation with a project that farmers under the leadership of the Washington gov- ernment remove 200,000,000 bush- els from the market and store ta same, with the aid of the “inter- mediate” credit facilities already provided by Federal law. This, it is thought, would stabilize wheat| prices on the farm at $1.40 to $1.50 a bushel, against present prices there of 75 to 80 cents. “This is a scheme of engaging the government of alt of the American people to help make bread scarce and dear to all for the benefit of a fraction of the people. But would it work permanently to the benefit of this farm faction? Nert year’s planting would begin with 200,000,- 000 bushels of old crop hanging ever the market. That might re- quire a storage of 400,000,000 bush- els for the following year, and s0 on up until the wheat market would be smothered by the stupendous stocks carried in storage at a ruin- pus cost. It is an impossible proposition. It could only work if the wheat- growers were to reduce their acre- age, and the high prices sought would operate to increase acreage instead. The government would better, even for the farmers, take over the industry altogether and apportion among the mthe acreage to be planted each year—and how many of them are ready to swallow such a measure of state socialism as that? The one way out for the wheat farmers was to have their foreign markets kept wide open and home producers of what they have to buy held down to the same competitive conditions they have to endure} themselves. NOT A MILITARY GOVERNMENT Nine out of ten people in the Un- {ted States will heartily dndorse she view expressed by War Wee! y Secretary of the military branch | portant principle. | ernment, matter of economy to use the offi- cers and men of the army and navy to enforce laws in time of peace Undoubtedly some money might be saved in that manner, but the say- ing in money would be at the sac- rifice of a great and highly im- Secretary Weeks put the matter briefly but compre- hensively when he said: “Subordination of the military to the civil is fundamental in our gov. nt. I would not desire it al tered in the least respect. I am opposed to use of the army for enforcement of civil laws unless all civil police power shall have been exhausted and there results that state of ‘insurrection and rebellion’ which Federal law provides shal! jalone justify use. of troops in af- fording protection guaranteed state governments by the Constitution.” If Mr. Weeks were governed by inordinate ambition he might easily subscribe to the view that it is de- sirable to use the army in time of peace to enforce civil laws. Such a use of the army would make the Secretary of War a very powerful figure in our national life. What- ever his legal status, he would be, under such circumstances, almost a dictator. Using the army to enforce the liquor laws would be but the stepping stone to use of the army for the enforcement of other laws, and, with an organized force of law-enforcers subject to his every order, a Secretary of War would be little less powerful than the Presi- dent himself. His political influ- ence would be enormous. { But Mr. Weeks is influenced by} patriotism and far-seeing statesman-! ship—not by selfish ambition. He fully perceives the ultimate serious consequences of subordination of the civil to the military authority,| and he wants none of it. He would not even be a silent recipient of the power that was proposed to be placed in his hands; he warns the country of the consequences that would inevitably follow in the course of time. The American colonists had some distasteful experience with use of British troops to enforce laws among them, and, when they framed the constitution for the Republic, they took care to define the place of the military forces in the system of government. They gave Congress power to raise and support armies, but, lest the army gain ascendancy, they restricted the authority Con- gress might grant by providing that no appropriation of money for the support of the army shall be for a longer term than two years. There was expressly reserved to the states the appointment of the officers and the training of the militia, thus guarding against centralized Feder.’ al military power in time of peace. No soldier could be quartered in any house in time of peace without the consent of the owner and there could be no search or seizure with- out warrant issued upon probable cause set forth in affidavit specify- ing the place to be searched and the persons or things to be seized. ‘These are some of the provisions of cur constitution to which Secre- ary Weeks alluded when he said that “subordination of the military to the civil is fundamental in our government.” It is highly gratify- ing to read his assertion that he would not have this altered “in the least respect.” Individual: liberty and the tights of the people under our system of representative pop- ular government are entirely safe under an administration made up of men who entertain sound ideas of the fundamentals.

The Northern Pacific and Great Northern railroads are the ones affected.

At the same time rates on Utah coal to points in western Montana an@ parts of Idaho, ‘Washington and Oregon are ordered raised, so that Sheridan coal is placed on an equable competitive basis with other western fields, Mr. Miller said.

Wyoming Baking Co Need Bill of Sale CHEYENNE, Wyo., July 11.—Many Wyoming vendors of secdnd-hand automobiles; more commonly referred: to as “used care.” probably unwit- tingly have placed themselves in the attitude of law violators as a result of ignorance of a new state statute commanding that the bills-of-sale transferring all except brand new automobiles shall be recdrded in the office of the county clerk. Failure to record a used car bill-of-sale is made a misdemeanor punishable by fine In | any amount not exceeding $500. The new law became effective July ist. It constitutes a section of Chapter 88, Session Laws ot Wyoming, 1923. The section follows: “Section 7. (a) Tt shall be unlawful for any person, firm or corporation to offer for sale, attempt to sell or to sell any second hand or used auto- mobile unless the original bill of sale thereof. or certificate of ownership as provided for In this act, and all as cignments thereof, if any, shal! have been recorded in the office of the county clerk and recorder of the coun- ty wher such second hand or used ‘automobile is offered for sale, and !t shall be unlawful for any person, firm ar corporation to purchase a second hand or used automobile unless the original bill of sa'e or certificate of ownership, as proveded for in this act. or @ duly certified copy thereof, to- gether with all previous assignments, as above provided for have been duly recorded in the county where such; transaction takes place, and the said bill of sate or certificate of ownership, as provided for in this act, and as- signments or duly certified copies thereof aro delivered with the second hand or used car.
