There have been many theories advanced as to the results which will follow Henry Fords five-da- y week. Mr. Ford is credited five-dawith saying that a week will give people more time for leisure and buying, and that this in turn will make a greater demand for manufactured goods. This does not explain how, a man with simply more time to spend money is going to be able to spend ' more money with his wages cut from six to five days. The Ford plan does not contemplate six days wages for five days time, without increased production. If idleness is merely to breed the desire to spend more money, in itself, with-ju- t he results will be disastrous. Mere an aim or purpose in life, would be a curse to the nation. ideas would be developed which would soon demand higher wages, which, in turn, would result in uncalled-fo- r ncreases in the cost of living. Can any but the strongest and youngest workmen maintain a ace which regularly calls for six days' work in five days time, in n industry already traveling at high speed? It is pretty generally accepted that as production is increased er man, workmen are entitled to their share in the profit, in the rm of increased wages. 1 his, in itself, does not mean increased prices. Whether human activity can be forced beyond a certain point remains to be seen. The life of a racing automobile is short because Can the human body be driven at it runs continually at full speed.

Editor and Publishes MORE LAWS COMING ; Now that the election is over and the issues and the fortunes of the various candidates have been settled for the next two years, there is about to come to us again the season of lawmaking. Soon Congress will be in session, and then will come the meetings of the various legislatures, all anxious to get the old legislative hopper ready to grind out the laws my the hundred, laws for the regulation of the people and their business, and laws which a great many of ut unfortunately will prepare to dodge whenever possible. For the season of lawmaking always follows the election. Some of the experts on the subject are now predicting that at least I 5,000 new laws will be made for the American people within the next few months 5,000 new laws to be added to the statutes which we i now seem to be unable to enforce. This number may seem to be tremendous, but it may turn ou that it is a conservative guess. In addition to our Congress there will be about forty legislatures in session. These bodie turned out in the neighborhood of I 4,0'00 laws two years ago anc there seems to be no reason why they will not exceed this recofd the coming year. Just why we have to have so many new laws nobody seems to know. It would seem that legislators have a sort of mania for turning out new laws. They make the best sort of resolutions about fighting all unnecessary legislation, but when the boys get together aldown at the same capital a veritable epidemic of ways breaks loose. Sometime perhaps the realization will come to us generally that what we need is not new laws but a better enforcement of the laws already on the statute books with the repeal of those which are found obnoxious in the enforcement. True, the editorial writers in the newspapers point out these facts occasionally even now, but nobody seems to be able to do anything about it. So until there is a change doul tless we' will continue to pile up new laws with the result that we shall increase the number of and throw still as a further into general proposition public contempt. thejaw money-spendin- JAMES FARRELL, Pres.

Y, U. it Provo, spent Thanksgiving with their parents and will return to Frovo Sunday. Response to Fire Prevention Week was greater this year than ' ever before. If the public ever properly awakens to the idea that the damaging losses in life and property, caused by fire, are largely a matter of individual control, our annual fire loss will show a decrease Instead of a constant increase. The fact that fire losses fall off during Fire Prevention Week proves that when the public has its mind focused on elimination of useless fires, good results are always obtained. If the same enthusiasm 'went into fire prevention during the whole year, instead of just during Fire Prevention Week, thousands of lives and hundreds of millions of dollars would be saved annually from the fire demon.

Baker were neither marked nor significant. The British newspapers paid little attention to it. The politicians of Great Britain took the same position that Mr. Baker's utterances as a private citizen had no special importance. In France it was ignored or mentioned briefly, if at all. The Germans were not specially impressed, nor were the Italians.- The Baker debt plea thus far has hardly stirred a ripple in London, Paris, Berlin and Rome, the four capitals most concerned with debts and reparations. Evidently Europe realizes the in America are lonely and voices. Its statesmen understand that they must deal with the American Congress and the debt commission and not with and unofficiial individuals. t They have been misled so many times they are in no humor to be fooled again. Before pinning their hopes on the utterances of Americans not officially responsible they want definite proofs that the cancellationist is speaking for somebody other than Himself or his own little group.

ENCOURAGING CROOKS INCREASES BILLS The public pays the bill for losses on insured property that destroyed by fire. The payment is none the less real, because it is indirect and made in the form of insurance premiums. Where there is criminal responsibility in fire losses, the public has a double interest; it is concerned with both the economic and legal aspects of the case. Recognized difficulties exist in punishing arson offenders. Evidence of guilt is easily covered; witnesses are hard to find; some, when found, are reluctant to tell what they know. There is a rather common feeling that when suspision is aroused or charges made, it is a case of an individual, perhaps a neighbor or friend, against an insurance company.
