Too Much Law ARE being lawed to death. It is a mania—a disease—that manifests itself in legislatures, in con- s, in civic and social associations, organizations, cor- tions and quite every human activity. Always there be law to control and hedge and limit the indi- "It is said that there are over 2,000,000 laws in force in = United States today. Legislatures and congresses are to these at the rate of thousands every year. It now almost impossible for a human being to take a in any direction in this country that a restrictive law ‘one kind or another does not confront him. So great d wide have become the ramifications of the written es that it is wholly impossible for anyone to know 2 law or to be a law-abiding citizen. Reaction against this sort of thing is apparent on every d. Out of it has grown a spirit of lawlessness that s the very centers of what we have believed to be best and oldest civilization—shames us all. It is not the nature of men to accept, gracefully and cheerfully, e grinding enactments that bear directly and hard on the little, intimate things and thoughts of their daily ence. They are resentful today and every day, and will continue to be resentful until the craze for law- sing is checked and the human being is allowed to be iman. Too much law is worse than no law, for too much is tyranny.

This, according to the co-operative newly organized $26,000,000 Grain Marketing Co., which is ready to handle this year’s crop. The Grain Marketing Co. will be composed of the farm ers themselves. Farmers will hold all the voting stock and most of the other stock. If profits are earned above an 8 per cent dividend, they will go back as patronage dividends to farmers who actually raised the grain. “The object of the organization,” according to Gray Silver, its president, “is the orderly marketing of the nation’s grain |crops, possibly only thru central control of the grain itself.

Baruch, New York financier, revealed a plan, for farmers to take over the Armour Grain Co. George |E. Marcy, president of that company, talked favorably but no immediate results appeared. Silver and Coverdale have |been the most active workers for the farmers in incubating that idea. | Personal reasons of the heads of the big grain companies are largely responsible for their willingness to close out their business to the farmers. Several of them have reached the age when they welcome retirement. Federal legislation and regulation has taken much of the joy out of the grain business: If stock in the new co-operative can be sold to the grain farmers, it looks as if they would join the fruit, jcotton and tobacco growers in becoming proprietary busi- |ness men—not mere takers of a dole from the middle men. i iL NATURELAND | Our 12th Annual ) frults, grains and other non-heating jfoods.
