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.

Fabulous Prices for Coal
Rome, .lan. 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.
