The government today is in the Kquor business for the sake of reve nue. It is saying in aubaitance to the public^ ‘Mrink moire liquor for the more you drink, the more moriey we will have to spend.**■ If it is import ant as to Jhe kinds of foods and drugs (and it certainly jis) thg people take into their bo<iie.‘?, why the goV- firnment eorveemed about liquor con sumption if for no ther reason, as a 'health measure. Liquor is poison. Thc'c’s nothing w'or.se a man can put in his stomach. I increase tha prices of farna products to consumers, so that the^ farmer’s purchasing- power would be equal to tihajt of the city fellow. Well, farm prices have gone up—higher than in the year before the \var, according to the "Agricultural Department. Nobody can ^figure how much pf that is due to (irought. and how much to legisla tion. But the purchasing power of the farmer is still 20 per cent below w'hat it was, because at the same time the AAA was trying to put farm prices uj), the NR.\ was putting up all other commodity prices. • • f The Government has collected * so far CAl mijiion (lollars in processing taxe.s,/of which .581 millions have been di.stributed to- farmers.

HIGHWAY BILLS UP A battle i.s to be staged in Columbia over, the reorganization of the state highway department. Govemor John ston wants the entire body abolished. He -wunt.s to appoint in their stead a grou/i of “his” men under the gui.se that such action was demanded by his election last summer when his prin cipal .sjH'och on 1 the hustings was “cius. ing” the highway department, which in s])ite of what he says, has given the state a system of highways .surpassed by few .states and at a cost of building and maintenance the low est in'the Criited States. -— A si'cond l»iH'on the highway‘ques tion has come forward .within the past week from one of the house members. He wants the legislature to elect the commissioners from each judicisll dis trict. ' ■ The^ftrst bill means a one-man po litical power for the governor. The latter means that the legislature will "elect members of it.s own body to the commission. That It has always done when offices are ert'ated or vacancies occur that must be filled. is proposed that the Government shall buy up 75 million acres of submargin al lands, to keep anybody from farm ing except where there is a chance of profit. But on the other hand, efforts are being made to settle industrial workers on “.subsistence farma,” where they can grow much of their own food and so further reduce the farmer’s market. It is some farm relief tangle. W'e doubt if anjr-body knows where we are going, or what will be the outcome when finally we arrive. We are not prophets, so we don’t know how it’s all going to come out. Come around in ten year%^ or so qnd maybe we’ll know the answer, by then. 10 Years Ago Itemaof Interest From The Chronicle of January 9. 1925.

Wet advocate.s in the legislature claim that they must do something towaixl legalizing liqvior in* response to the mandate of the majority of the voters in the recent referendum. Some are advocating its sale in counties by commissioners. Others want the state to get in the manufacturing business to raise money. . . Why have they .become soX^fert and concerned on this question? \ In the first referendum the majonty voted -for prohibition but that decision was not accepted by the wets;—Tl to work to get the question up again with the ballot unquestionably pre sented in a misleading way. _ The people have S4)0ken on |nume rous issues in the pa-st only to be ig nored by the legislature.. How'wbeut the qiK'stron of biennial sessions of the legislature w/hich the voters have approved twice in the past, and which the. legislature has refu.sed to put into effect. If it is right and proper to disregard this “mandate,” for ex ample, why is it now so necessary that the I leceni : liquor referendum “mandate” be pu.shed for enactment by a group who are tearing their shirts to get the state into the liquor business.N* - The state has no'more business in the manufacture of whiskey, beer and wine than it has in the manufacture of flour, cotton goods, shoes, electric atoves, farm Uactors or something else. ever time 8 or 10 guesses would ac cumulate in the -reception room, a light coarse was served by her 2 boys, all of the teen-age. luetta hope with everything allso and showed that sh,e will be verry useful in the kitchen and will make him a verry substan tial wife if he do not change his mind. the decker-rations,were pot planta, pot flowers and >some green bushes she got out of the patch of woods be hind her smoke-house, musick was furnished by the radio till it grot chok ed up with stattick and then she •played a few verses on her pianna, which was out of tune, the refresh ments of crackerslihd-tea giveTout be- foar the last bunch got in.

Washington, Jan. 29. — Relief,ad ministration officials repHorted today that funds to feed the newy would be “exhausted” by February 10, even as predictions arose that senate debate on the $4,800,000,000 work-relief bill would extend beyond that time. The $880,000,poo in the works measy ure is* to taper off the dole for the approximately 5,000,000 families on relief. ^ , Despite administration concern, sen- ators said today after consideration of the bill by its a;H>ropriation8 com mittee that the bill probably would not be reported to the senate until next week. They added that at least ji t-a week of debate and probably more was in sight on' the floor. The president probably will be ask ed to bring additional pressure fto get the work-relief measuie through in a hurry. ^ “We are really out of money,” Mor ton M.
