The day's combination: A straw hat, an overcoat, and low shoes. “Industrial leaders ask nation to give dry law fair trial,” said the headline. The hired hands seem to take some of their bosses as ex- amples. ‘The bloody record of road mis- haps in Connecticut since Baturday will lead many to conclude that cool weather after a hot wave is a bad thing for safety and cautien.

The farmers are in a position where they cannet turn back on their crops. Thess are planted. When the harvest arrives they will borrow money to “move” it, will pay the regulation interest, give the regulation security, and in return receive less money for the finished product than it cest them to pro- duce it. Let that happen to some manufac- turing industry and the howl that would go up could be heard on Mars, In fact, it can scarcely happen to a manufacturing industry because the latter would simply quit pro- ducing if there were no prospect of selling products at a profit. That is why manufacturing is dif- ferent from farming; the farmer must go right ahead regardless of prices. One of the country's biggest agricultural machinery concerns had a meeting of the board of directors the other day. The plan was to issue new capitalization for expansion. While the directors were meeting the wheat and corn prices broke. The directors hurriedly voted not to is- sue new capitalization or to expand; The meeting itself disbanded, the directors went home, and the pros- pects are that the plant will be {workinx on greatly reduced sched- ‘ules. There is no hope of selling farm machinery to farmers when the farmers lack the money to \ eet current expenses. bright Congress® are planning Canada and Argentina have huge wheat ‘crops, and can undersell the American crops in the world market, The prices quoted at Liverppol set the standard price for the world. In the face of vast overproduction American farmers suffer more acutely than any others. They oper- ate on higher priced land, and the cost of production is considerably more per bushel than anywhere else. American farmers must try to com- pete in a world market in which minds in ginning. The main difficuity is the cost of land. It American farmers raised their wheat on land that cost as lit- tel as land in Argentina or in West. ern Canada, where the government virtually gives it to settiers, they would make money almost regard- less of prices. But for years the American yeomanry have been pleased when “land values” went up; indeed, reports used to have it The coatemplated structure. at BIth stréet was to be 175 feet above Righ tide.

The farmer who bought his land years ago at a low price will still dollar wheat; he who bought within recent yéars at fancy prices cannot hope to make enough to buy a new automobile next spring. The kind of rellet Congress can give will amount to nothing. ¥Funda- mental economics are involved, and high-priced land is at the basis of the troubles of the American farmer. SUCCESS AND FAILURE This is a wonderful country— we've heard it astated a thousand times. In the last issue of Variety, the theatrical publication, which also specializes in the low-dewn on about everything else, two brief items appeared on the same page, and they stimulated a few mo- ments ‘of reflection. One item told how two brothers started a “sip, bite and run joint,” ~—theatrical vernacular for light lunch—in one of those two by four holes in the wall in the theatrical district. Out of the profits during a few years of operation the brothers bought a building costing $700,000, in which they will branch out. In an adjoining celumn was the story of a new swanky hotel, which had been opened last year. The building was 20 stories high and appealed to the ne plus ultra, !and contained a great grill, sumptu- ous dancing floor, sported a snappy floor show after meals, employed crack jazz artists, and all the rest. After half a year the swanky place went into the red and bankruptcy. i To summarize: The hole in the Only one thing worries Yeork, already laboring under a meuntain-heap of bonds, and boast- ing of being the richest city on the giobe. is inclined to wonder where all the money is ceming from. Experts who can evelve “needed imprevements for the future” seem to be more common than experis who can shew reasonable ability in getting the money for the great im- provements, New FARM RELIEF IN FACE OF LOW PRICES In the face of for the chief agricultural creps in 15 years “farm relief” by Congress is ghastiy mummery. While Cengress has been debating incresses dutics on farm products and tryicg out the cfficiency of ver- the lowest prices ,plant netted hundreds of thousands "in debts. The two brothers got theirs a nickel and a dime at a time; the big place lost a dollar at a time. If the hole in the wall had failed ithe brothers could have started anm- other at a better location with a few dollars; when the 20-stery building failed there was no way to move it. In some respects this is a nickel and dime age. ZONING CANNOT REC COMPETITION One of the ohjects of zoning is te ! maintain the Gasoline stations are generally re- garded as having a depreciatory in- fluence upon the value of property; hence there customarily is objection i when filling stations are projected in neighborhoods given over to resi- ‘LATE value | | they are handicapped from the be. | .-NJ'M. A _large part of the pul expects aening laws to pre- vent thls, but auch opposition is not alweys successful. Advocates of soning sometimes ex- pect even ‘mere. Occasionally the soning law is utilized to regulate competion, as wae the case in Hart- ford. This case was remarkable in some of its aspects. It appears that four gasoline stations had already béen established In a nelghborhoed, and it was thought that the establishment of another would be one too many that is to say, competition was al- ready fierce enough among the four filling stations, and the advent of & tifth would naturally tend te make conditions worse. The soning law was invoked. This curious case naturally re- ceived short shrift when brought to court. It was made clear by the judge that the soning law could not be utilized to regulate competition. This is destined to be an important judicial precedent in Connecticut. In other words, the claim that “thers are already enough filling stationa” here or there will not in future be ia legitimate reason for denying such an additional enterprise under zon- ing regulations. S R 5 ABANDONED FAMILIES Just a small item in the daily newspaper: It told how a man, the head of a family of a wife and six ;children, had disappeared. Another item: A woman, alone trying to support a brood of chil- dren, had been arrested on a charge of violating the prohibition law. She had gone into the liquor dispensing business in order to make a living. The law is adamant in either case. The fleeing husband, if caught, will “relief.” ‘:o to jail; the woman must quit or ‘pay a fine, or both. ‘What causes husbands to aban- don their families, anyway? It is the most heinous thing possible, this leaving & woman and young ones upon the mercy of the weorld. Digging under the surface one in- variably finde that the husband has become discouraged; that he has been unable to earn enough in this land of riches and plenty to support his family. Beeing no improvement in sight, goaded into reséntment at so- ciety, he decides to take French leave and support—if he can—only himself. Cowardly in the extreme. But it happens. No one can truthfully judge how he would att under similar cir- cumstances. To theerize about the cowardliness of such an act is a far difterent thing than to be confront. ed with the situation. The progress f civilization has make profits wm:l been somewhat one-sided. There were vile acts in ancient times, but among these was the deliberate abandonment of’the young; or fail- ure to take care of the aged; or uu| refusal to give to those on in years an opportunity te earn their liveli- heed. Our material civilization has som | things that do not highly commend it. 1t is one-sided, lop-sided; and too much is taken for granted. SIGAT-SEEING PLANES ‘Throughout the country, especial- ly in such cities sporting airports, the business of taking passengers up in the air in sight-seeing planes has been developed to a considerable ecale. Unfortunately, some such planes have been identified with dis- astrous accidents, and before this unregulated business is developed too far it should be well worth the effort of authorities te apply more mere stringent rules and regulations to protect the public. Nebody, confronted with the sight of such a plane and anxious fer the j thrill of going aloft. is in a positien |to inquire closely as to the service- ability of the plane or the skill of its plot. One remembers the action of |Governor Trumbull last year who when confronted with the oppor- tunity of geing up in a stranger's plane refused to do 8o after he had ;inlpfi(‘led it. The governor, being a |flying expert, quickly discovered |that all did not ceincide with his idea of safe flying. The ordinary individual is not as well equipped for such a decision as the governor. They take risks un. !|knowingly. It is the business of the authorities to prevent the unknew- wall netted nearly a million; the big | of property. ing taking of risks. Nobody would accept an automo- bile ride from a stranger if he be- !came aware that the automobile was | defective In important particulars. jor that the driver was deficient in elementary skill. | Scores, if net hundreds, of enter. prising business-minded individua have taken to buying virtually dis- |c.rdo¢ planes and are taking the public for rides. This businéss needs :more official attention than it is re- [ caiving. “TIIE ENDLESS CHAIN IN CHINA It was thought until recently that the Chinese revelution was about over: that the N govern- |ment would be d to settle 'do"n and gevern in a civilised man- ner.
