The public, haviag becoms ac- customed to resding of plagisrism suits and the iafallible decisions that plagiarism did not in fact exist, will be inclined to dismiss the claim of the woman suther whe has brought suit against America’s leading dramatist as just so much pitfie. It may be, as was the case in “Abie's Irish Rose,” that there is more or less similarity between plots; but as every delver inte things literary knows, there are many such simi- ‘(larities. It is hew the plots are handled that makes the difference. HARD LUCK IN THE MARKET “If it isn’'t one thing it is some- | thing else,” is an old saw that might be applied to the stock market lately. It has been known for some time that there would be a period this spring when money in Wall street would be tighter than usual. partly due to the necessity of helping interior banks to finance spring agricultural need-."fhls ‘was partly discounted, as usual, when along comes a break in the wheat price below $1 a bushel, this for the first time in 15 years. 1 This means bad times for wheat growing. With wheat at $1 it meant the growers received only 80 to 85 cents at their local elevators—a sum that is said to be below the average cost of production. We perk our ears to discover what Willlam Allen i White, editorializing in the center of the Kansas wheat belt, and who fought so valiantly for Hoover pros- perity on the farms, has to say about the tornado of low prices that has hit his native state. A STATIC POPULATION? What must have struck the care- ful reader as an unusually frank astatement regarding population pos- sibilities was that part of the farm production report by the U. §. De- ¢ partment of Agriculture. From the early days to the present the belief | has been widespread that the popu- lation of the United States would continue to increase, until in the fu- ture it would have a population of, | say, half a billion. Indeed, so the | fanciful estimates had it. our popula- | tion would far outrun our available | food supply, and we would become a food importing nation. If Dr. O. E. Baker, the Washing- ton economist, in correct, this will not happen. His thesis is plausible. Bince 1920, he shows, the birth rate | in the nation has been declining rapidly; and it needs only to con- | tinue decreasing four per thousand— which he declares Is likely—when the population becomes static. The stationary pepulation will be reach- ,ed, he declares, in from 50 to 75 years, when the nation's total will stay at between 175,000,000 and 200,000,000 people. This tigure is far removed from i the teeming millions that have been prophesied. The outlook comes, too, Unemployment has besn made the leading issus of thé campaign by tbe striking plan advanced by Lleyd Geerge eight weeks ago, and by his pledge that the Liberal party, if re. turned to power, will reduce unem- ployment to normal proportiens within the course of one year, With- out a cent of cost to the taxpayers The Liberal party is substantially re- united under the leadership of Lloyd George, who has a $5,000,000 campaign fund at his disposal. ane the party's prospects are conceded to have been materially improved by the announéement of its unem- ployment plan. 5 The Labor party, conscious of the fact that it may be give the respen- sibility for administration of the ogvernment as a result of the elec- tion, has advanced no new projects of a sensational nature. Its program | for dealing with unemployment, of which the Liberal plan is in part a duplication, has long been known to the voters. The government has cen- tented itselt with ridiculing the Lloyd George plan, and asserting that unemployment will yield in due course to the remedies it Is applying —the “safeguarding” of essential in. dustries through tariff protection, and the relief of other industries from three-fourths of the present burden of local taxation under its “de-rating” plan. The government attributes most j of the difficulties from which British industry and British labor have suf- fered to “the immense industrial disaster of 1926"—the coal strike and the general strike. It contends that British industry and trade have now “turned the corner” and that a stcady advance will be made, if the voters give a new demonstration of their confidence in Conservative poli- cies at the forthcoming election. The Labor party, in its election manifesto of May 1, 1929, found it desirable to reiterate that it was “neither Bolshevik nor Communiat.” It derided the “Red bogey" of “skull and crossbones, clanking chains and bloody daggers.” And it pledged itself to “carry its program (of moderate Socialism) to eompletion by peace- ful means, without disorder or con- fusion, with the censent of the ma- jority of the electers and by the use of the ordinary machinery of demo- cratic government.” AGRICULTURE IN CONNECTICUT In the popular things agricultural Connecticut is supposed to be far inferior to the production of western states. The only point about this is that it com. pares faverably with at least three of them. The value of Connecticut's products from the soil in 1928 is apnounced as having been $76,000,000; this in- stock products combined. It ll‘ . IE 4 RS oA Connecticut ..... 76,000,600 New Hampshire ..

Thus he did 80t return it to Congress with a veto, Aor as law duly signed. The process was termed & “‘poeket veto.” But it s0 happened that Congress had passed the bill during the first Sesaion; that is to say, after its first | #oasion, it period, and 4r session. Congress, in the vernacular of Washington, did fot finally adjourn until the last ses- sion was over. The Constitution specifies that whea the President fails to sign or “recessed” then had for a anoth- reétura a bill with his veto ten ‘Iyl; After adjournment, the bill is auto- matieally killed. Does this adjourn- ment mean the adjournment of a Stasion, or the final adjournment of Congress? Uniets one understands this nomenciature and practice it is dif- ficult to gauge the decision of the | Bupreme Court, whicR finally has de- €ided In faver of the commenly ac- eepted view that a pocket veto is Just as much a veto ten days after & session of Congress as ten days follewing adjournment. Much was made of this techni- cality by Senator Norris. It was not deci@ed upon the basis of the Muscle Shoals legislation, however. | but In regard t6 an Indian case. The @ecision applies to Muscle Shoals, Rowever, with equal force. Final determination of the techni. cality, of course, made no difference In the Muscle 8hoals case, as Mr. Coolidge did net return the bill after the adjournment any mere than he failed to return it after the first ses. slon. It is quite an important step forward, however, to have had this technicality finally and definitely #ettled by the Supreme Court.

The declining birthrate “appears to be associated with the country's in- creasing presperity and per capita wealth. In those states where the per capita wealth is \-rur than the average the birth rate is lower; in states where the per capita wealth is smaller than the average, the birth rate is higher.” This observation is incontestable. It is self-evident te anyone's obser- vatien. The big families Invariably ‘are found among the poor; and when the youth from such progenitors ad- vance in life and join the so-called middle class, their familles in turn usually are smaller. In the early days of the republic, when almost every- one was poor, big families were com- mon everywhere. The descendants of thesa early settlers ,enjoying com- forts and luxuries that were unknown in & pgst day. invariably have small | tamilies. It seems to be a law of nature; and if mo, it will operate to pre- vent the world from ever becoming overpopulated. GREAT BRITAIN The issucs in the British clecilons hinge upon economic questions, and among these unemployment stands | pre.eminent. This could scarcely be Otherwise In a country where such a large proportion of the population lives upon the government dole, which is made necessary beécaude of the dislocation of business due to the | aftermath of the war. An indepénd- ent observer has summarized the | election campaign as follows: The Conservative party is asking that it be returned to power on the basis of its record during the last four and a half years. which includes the new budget recently submitted to the House by the Chancellor of i The Liberal and Labor parties are asking that the Conservative party be turned out of power because of its failure to dral ufiectively with the | problem of ufemployment and be- cuke of ity maladministration of the foreign affairs of the nation. considerably l1ess '¢he Rie Grande water. i than $100,000,000 fer the year, and Nevada, which produced half the crop value of Connecticut. Considering the value of farm products in relation to size, that of Connecticut is far in advance to these western estates. Massachusetts, which is alse much smaller than the western states mentioned, produced considerably more than any of them, its product-value being $101,000,000 for the year. The story still is being told of a passing stranger in New England stopping to sympathize with a farm- er seen picking stones in a ficld. and to which the latter replic; Listel brother.
