Hungry mouths are multiplying steadily, Why All the Haste? WO year United States ate turne its griculture the question of dispose of Muscle Shoals. nator George Norris, chairman of that committee, kept the members steadily at work on the prob- lem until last summer. Every person who wished to be heard was given a hearing. Many persons believed to have information needed by the committee were summoned to appear. It was a painstaking and thoro Investigation, As the result of its study the commit- tee prepared a bill disposing of Muscle Shoals. It was made, by agreement of the senate, the first business before the present session. But it is not being considered. Instead, the senate is preparing to vote on a sub- stitute offered by Senator Underwood and indorsed by President Coolidge. Influence of the president has been put behind this measure and every effort is being made to jam it thru. This in face of the fact that Underwood’s bill never has been considered by any committee of the senate and is so new that the ink upon it is scarcely dry. On its face, the Underwood bill appears to offer little guaranty of safeguarding the people’s interest in this great water- power and fertili project. The haste with which it is being crammed down the senate’s throat raises the question, at least, that its merits will not stand thoro study and debate. ago the over to committee how best to erckl uu avia invente Busieess work- AYB t just the ordinary l ing of the well known slogan, “Busi Is | imi maybe it is only for offering prize is arranged for a score of Angeles.

The law should allow a drivers Ueense only to those between 2 and 65, of sound physical and beset tal condition and of good morals Conviction of any crime involving morals should withhold a license and cancel any existing license. There should be retained the present pow er of courts to cancel licenses for violation of traffic laws and in any criminal action the judge should be required, tn passing sentence, to take up and cancel the defendant driver's license, If he has one, pre vided the crime ts more than a mit demeanor.
