FRIDAY. JANUARY 20, 1922. A letter received yesterday from Mr. Robert Benty, now in Louisville to gather information relntine to a cannery, states that 5,000 arc in attendance upon the tanners' convention row in session in that city. We feel satisfied that Mr. Beaty will come hack with helpful information. Mr. R. Cotner, of the Southern Railway, who was in Union yesterday, promised to send us one of the development nun of the Southern to tell us more about a cannery. We do not intend to go into this move without thorough and complete information. A right .-'art is half the victory. In the meantime. please see that you will take a share in one. or both, of these enterprises. Another piece of proposed legisla-1 tion that is viscious is the bill intro-t duced by Representative Toole of Aik-j en. lie has introduced a bill which > reads as follows: "When any firm, individual or cor- i poration engaged in the manufacture of cotton within this state either as a cotton mill, textile industry or by whatever other name known or called, shall close its plant, factory or mill for 20 consecutive days in one year and such notice of the closing of said 1./. }iritu<rKt in t V\oflontinn f *" W Vl.v MVWVtlVIVII ?? the Kovoinor he shall immediately instruct the bank examiner to proceed to audit the books of the said manufactory and if, in the opinion of the said bank examiner, who shall report the same to the governor, he shall order the said manufactory to resume operation within a period of ten days. "The suspending of operation of business within one day of the '20 hereinabove provided shall be deemed as a move to defeat the object of this act and shall bo considered a closing "* A^^.^ecutive days. ? , person, firm or corporation violating the provisions of this act, shall be subject to a fine of $1,000 for each day business is not resumed after notice to such corporation by the governor." Just another piece of class legislation, and one subversion of every principle of free government. Its only effect will be to drive capital out of the mill business in the s.ato and cause new capital to seek other channels. Next thing we will be having land owners compelled to furnish work for tenants twelve months in the year. Why cannot there be the enactment and enforcement of great fundamental laws that apply to all industries? Have we not enough laws now? The great trouble is that the laws we have that are good are not enforced. There i entirely too much tendency to socialism in such laws as that proposed by Mr. Toole. Soon we will have the laws for the mill, store, farm and every other activity. The condition will become so intolerable that individuals will quit trying1 to do anything; then the State will be forced to step in and run the various activities. Then we will see high cost of production and a multiplication of the number of unemployed. It is a great pity that there should be a constant, mending onslaught on invested capital in this Mule. We have meddled with banks, enacted laws for their supervision and taxed them beyond all reason. The ctnviti mitrVif mf ho eui/4 r>f nl most every other duly incorporated enterprise. There has developed such an amount of government red tape that it now requires the services of an expert lawyer to keep the owner out of he pentitentiary. We have gone already entirely too far in the direction of meddling. The meddling with banks has not stopped bank failures; it never will. It has piled on additional expense. Who pays for it ? The borrower has to pay, otherwise the bank could not mn. Instead of helping and protecting the innocent and the helpless. the laws that are being enacted and many proposed laws are working to the hurt of the very man attempt is mnde to help. There should be general, broad laws, laws that anybody ran understand, and applicable generally to all commercial and industrial organizations. It might be a law that banks charge no more than 8 per cent. Such a luw that carried a penitentiary offence when one was , found guilty of violating it, if enforced would solve the usury problem. To bo just it would have to apply not only to banks but private firms and individuals. Defaulters landed in the penitentiary would do more to safeguard the people than all the bank examiners will ever do. Now that taxes levied upon corporations has mounted so high as almost to be confiscation, there should be less of this constant meddling on the part of our lawmakers. It w<vuld seem that many of our lawmakers are bittei with the idea that law is to correct any and every ill of humanity. They simply will not give any right of way to economic law. State laws will do nothing of the kind. The less meddling we have the better it will be. And, anyway, when a law is enacted to compel an employer to keep going, there should be a law, its eorallery, that compels an employee to keej: working. One is as fair as the other If the mills must, by law, be forced to run whether the owners will or not the worker should be compelled t>: work, whether he wills or not. Yoi see how absurd it is. It would be n sorry country indeed, that, would thu? blot out every semblance of individual liberty. It is a poor piece of legislation, is Mr. Toole's proposed law. It is a poor rule that will not work hot I' ways, and Mr. Toole's proposed law will not work both ways.

IK.?The fabulous prices that Italy had to pay for conl during and since the war has decided her to defer no longer the use of the electric power provided by her magnificent water supply. The government proposes to begin at once the electrification of 2,.r>00 miles of trunk railroad lines and over <5,000 miles of tracks. The whole railroad system of the industrial provinces of Piedmont and Liguria will he olecrtified, an ! 700 miles of tracks are already ir working order. Later the lines which carry Italy's trade with Central Europe and those of the newly redeemed, down to Flume, will nil come into the system. Mutinous Sailors 1 Elected to Council Paris, Jan. 18.?Tho election of two ' mutinous sailors of the French fleet ns members to the Paris City Council has proved a prolific source of contention on the pari of the Communist party and of embarrassment ' to the City government. The two sailors, Badina and Andre Marty, j were convicted of mutiny when men . on board the French warships In the Black sea refused to fire on the Rus- ' sian Bolsheviki in 1919. Although both were serving terms I in prison they were elected to the City Council in October and November last. Marty's election was an- ( ( nulled on the ground of his conviction 1 for mutiny and now Badina's election also has been declared void on sirai- | lar grounds by vote of the Prefecto- | I rial Council of the Seine department. , The Communits party has made much political capital out of these ' two cases and now announces that it 1 will appeal the annulment in Badina's case to the Council of State. It is exI ported that the council will confirm . the annulment and order fresh olec, tions. Communists declare, that if ( htis is done, they wil renominate both Badina and Marty and try to re-elect 1 them. ! Meanwhile, the eases have caused I at least one lively exchange of com. pliments in the Chamber of Deputies between Communists and government leaders who refused the Communist's plea to set the mutineers free and permit them to take their seats in the City Council. Smugglers Making Immense Profits! P.erlin, .Ian. 18.?Smugglers are making immense profits by bringing English cloth for men's suits past the customs line to the tailors of Berlin. Their illicit earnings are made possible by the high German import duties on that class of material. The tailoring establishments are visited almost daily by sailors or other ship employees with huge rolls of English twveds and other fabrics, in one-suit pieces, which they have succeeded in purchasing at English ports and bringing in duty free. One of these smugglers, a New York man, said some English cloth dealers are making a regular business of supplying the smuggling trade. The cloth is sold at one-fourth to oik- fifth the price it would cost if the import duty wns paid. Tailors are | quirk to purchase the fabrics. The smugglers also visit foreigners and offer their wares for sale. I The smugglers go quite openly about their business. They may be seen walking the streets with big bundles on their backs. A,. toy the more venturesome nave even offered the goods sale on the sidewalks, where they find ready takers. ' A French sailor who had been smuggling for several months said he was going to retire from the "game," having made enough money to open a shop of his own in Paris Religious Wave Sweeping Over Fishing Villagese Glasgow, Jan. 18.?A religious wave is now sweeping over the fishing villages on the East coast of > Scotland. j Believing that the failure of the herring fishing season is a visitation for uniighteous living, the fishermen are parading the highways singing hymns and testifying in other ways > to their religious fervor. There is scarcely a fishing village which is not affected. Paris, Jan. 18.?Promoters of the World Congress of the Irish Race to be held in Puris for one week begin-! ning January 31, say it will be the greatest gathering of the Irish race since King Brian's historic assembly in 1014. The various methods by which the 2.">,000,000 persons of Irish blood throughout the world cna assist in the economis reconstruction fo Ireland made necessary by the years of conflict, will be among the chief problems before the conference. The revival of Irish art, language and litI erature also will be considered. One of the large halls in the con. lor of Paris has heen obtained for the sessions and an exhibition of Irish ? art will be held in another hull near the headquarters. The best known Irish artists are sending pictures fort the exhibition. Concurrently with the Congress wil lbe a representation of Irish drama in French in one of the Parisian theaters and a concert of Irish music by one of the best known orchestras in Europe. Many descendants of Irish exiles of the 17th century who played historic roles in France and other countries have responded to the invitation of the (ineeral Secretory, Miss Katherine Hughes, who will be present. Five South American countries I have already indicated a desire to .send delegations. These are Brazil, Argentine, Chile, Bolivia and Peru, while delegations from New Zealand, , Tasmania and other remote countries are already on their way. A linotype machine which will cast any length of line up to seven inches has been invented. ? The growth of American trade with Egypt is shown by the increase of A merienn ships in Egyptian porta.
