BEAR RIVER VALLEY LEADER, THURSDAY, AUGUST 21. 1830 PAGE FOUR tARBIVER LEADER VALLEY POLITICS AND PERSONALITIES. Can anyone explain why, in a country where a live issue is born every day, political candidates pick the material they do for a campaign plat form? Look at Tennessee s recent primary contest. Congressman Cor-dell Hull, who won the Democratic nomination for senator, is a nationally famous authority on tariff and taxa tion. Yet. his opponent. Andrew L. Todd, deliberately campaigned on i platform that promised voters an impossible system of taxation. In Texas, "Ma" Ferguson ran on a Dlatform of "vindication." In Ala bama, Tom Heflin is raising the cry of "persecution." The primary cam paign m North Carolina that sent ien ator Furnifold Simmons to defeat, was based almost entirely on outworn issues of the 1928 presidential cam- naien. Ruth Hanna McCormick, stnv ing to reach the Senate, reaped a harvest of votes in the primaries by promising the Illinois electorate protection against the World Court. The burning question in Minnesota's Republican senatorial primary was whether Senator Thomas Schall, fightor his opponent ing for more closely resembled Minnesota's famous senior senator, Mr. Shipstead. Senator Schall won. In Arkansas, the candidate for nomination to the Senate seat now held by Joseph Robinson, complained that Mr. Robinson had been in public life too long and should now step down and give a "younger man" a chance. A Senate committee is now investigating campaign expenditures. Why not appoint another to investigate campaign issues with the purpose of saving the electoral mind from complete paralysis through an overdose of humbuggery ?

When the magic prosperity-devic- e of tariff protection collapses as com pletely as it has since enactment of y the Bill, the remedy, according to protectionists, is more tariffs. So we find the domestic su gar group, who are now in a worse hole than before they had obtained a higher duty, blaming their predicament on The overproduction is blamed on Cuba. The suggested cure is a tariff high enough to keep down imports of raw sugar from Cuba. is the Certainly, basic cause of depression in the sugar industry. But why blame Cuba? Her 1930 crop is ten percent less than that of 1930, according to the United States Department of Agriculture, and Cuban exports of sugar to America this year have been less than half those last year during the same period. Our Insular possessions, on the other hand, have increased their 1930 production by 213,004 tons and have already shipped 1.333,034 tons of sugar to the United States this year. It is obvious that the higher tariff has only stimulated the entry of dutyfree sugar from the Philippines. Porto Rico and Hawaii into the United States. Economists predicted this very ,v, .n,iif5nn mnti,. wt iai hi iii iuv4Hiia is.x vviiuiviuu was passed. It Was also predicted that the sugar duty would not really benefit the sugar industry in this country. But the' domestic producers still ask for more nrotection to enable them to "expand their pre-w- ar can-open- er WHERE CRIME STARTS. Here's something we want every father and mother around Tremonton to ponder over. Figures gathered, in criminal courts, penitentiaries and reformatories all over America, just made public, show that the majority of crimes now being committed are carried out by boys between the ages of 10 and 24. Most of it is petty banditry or thievery robberies of small grocery stores and filling stations-wherthe boys know a little cash is always on hand. All the boy needs is a cheap revolver, and that is always easy to get. If he is successful in (us first attempt he will be encouraged to stage one on a larger scale; and then career he is started on a of crime. Warn your boy of the fate that befalls those who carry revolvers. Align yourself with any movement that seeks to prohibit their sale, locally or by mail, to anyone who is not by law entitled to carry one. It's the surest way we know of to discourage crime. e full-fleg- ed A CHANCE TO WIN The Highway Education Board, with headquarters in Washington City, hp 3 asked us to interest boys and girls around Tremonton in its annual prize contest for essays on safety. The contest this year is just starting, and it is open to the pupils of all elementary schools. The subiect to be written on is: "What Am I Doing o Set a Good Example on the Highways." Teachers will write on: "Teaching the Essentials of Street and Highway Safety." The first prize for pupils is a erold watch and a trip to Washington City. The first prize for teachers is $500 in cash and a trip to Washington Ctiy. There is no reason why one or more of the prizes should not come into this section as our boys and girls, as well as our teachers, are as capable of writing essays on these subjects as are those of any other community. If you want any additional information on the subject, write to the Highway Education Board, Washington, D. C. We have no further information at hand than given you here. UNCLE SAM'S REPORT ITS A WHOPPER. Let's not get so used to watching the auto industry spread out that we can't see any other industry grow. Turn your eyes for a moment to the comparatively new business of hatchchicks. In Jan. ing and selling day-ol-d of this year 493 commercial hatcheries reported to Uncle Sam that they had hatched 3, 977,763 salable chicks during the month, or a gain of almost 800,000 over January, 1929. Few if any of them, sold for less than 12c each that's a fair average. Now figure for yourself the tremendous money turnover in the baby chick business, keen ing in mind that your figures are for only one month and for only 493 hatcheries, while there are tens of thousands of people of people hatch ing and selling throughout the United States. We can't all make money in the chicken business, but we can all enjoy reading about other people doing so, while keeping in mind the fact that it is growing to be one of Ameir cas' biggest industries. for a Tremonton man to get his wife's opinion of himself is to mention in her hearing that Babe Ruth gets $80,000 a year for knocking a few baseballs over the 3: two-ce- nt ' BEGINNING Saturday, August 23rd Ending Saturday, August 30th A WHOLE WEEK OF SAVINGS IT'S EASY TO COMPARE VALUES IN A DOLLAR SALE SO COME, COMPARE, AND CARRY AWAY YOUR CARGO OF SAVINGS Our Dollar Genuine Bargains SATURDAY AND ALL NEXT WEEK hand-wove- liL 52 ! i Fnn SALE Good Second Hand ranges.

That this man didn't turn out a failure, according to his own statement, is due to the fact that his father saw which way he was headed, and turned his steps in the right direction. There isn't much to be learned by a boy on the street after dark, and especially if he is doing his loafing along with other boys. There are daylight hours for games and exercise things every healthy boy must have! But the kind of things he is apt to talk about, or listen to, while loitering around at niht are not the kind that are going to be worth very much to him in after years. Your boy may feel that you are a little too severe if you discourage such a practice; he may even feel that as a parent you are not as progressive as those who do let their boys have their own way at all times. But experience has shown that he will live to thank you for any kind of severity that will keep him off the street at night and in the home where there is always some means whereby he can employ his mind to good advantage and enjoy himself at the same time, It s all a matter of how you start him off. But we've got to remember that boys are boys, the world over: the boys of this community are no different than those of other neighborhoods. cut m no community can they gain anything helpful or beneficial by running the streets at night. of lemons.

The government figures, of course, cover the nation as a whole. And even then the decline is so slight as to hardly be worth shouting about. But the chance to lower it still more is here, thanks to old Mother Nature, and the opportunity she provides for growing a little garden truck of our own instead of being forced to the should be seized upon. Our meats may not be declining to any noticeable extent. But with "garden sass" and greens to be had for the picking, we can taper off on the meat dishes for awhile. The season of economical living is again here.
