If senators lived on bread and water for a few days, they would "know more about the needs of drought sufferers. So reasoned Senator Brock of Tennessee, who introduced a resolution during the debate on relief appropriations, calling on his colleagues to limit themselves to this meager fare until the wants of the stricken populace had been met. ,Mr. Brock's idea of poetic justice was undoubtedly a good one, but the press of business prevented its getting the attention it deserved. Besides, senators were in a hurry to get tway that evening so they could attend a sumptuous dinner m Curtis. A honor of scheduled night session had to be called off on that account. The could not preside; Senator Deneen couldn't be present because he was the host; and numerous senators felt it would be discourteous not to attend. Anyway, who wants to pledge himself to a diet just before a delectable free feast is given him? Some senators were too busy to consider their diet at that time Senator Elmer Thomas, who has been conspicuous in the battle for relief, knew he would find a desk piled high with telegrams and let ters from constituents when he returned to his office. The senator has received an average of nearly 500 letters daily in regard to appropriations. : His secretary, sitting behind a stack of communications, says that there are about 25 tele grams awaiting her in the morning, and after that she hasn't time to count them. A senator's life is not always as easy as critics like to think.

This sum would be raised by a tax on all incomes over $5,000 and a capital tax on all es-- ' tates in excess of $25,000, and ad ministered by a Board composed of the unemployed to be created for that purpose. Tlie average man is inclined to smile at this perfectly plain de- - oo- RELIEF WHERE RELIEF IS DUE For the second time since 1873, a congressional committee has considered legislation to repeal the laws prohibiting the circulation of birth control information. Hearings on a bill introduced by Senator Gillett of Massachusetts to enable licensed medical circles to disseminate such information were re cently held by a subcommittee of the Senate Judiciary Committee consisting of Mr. Gillett, Senator Borah of Idaho, and Senator Brat-to- n of New Mexico. The bill has been endorsed by the American Medical Association and other medical organization, and by the conferences of several churches. The economic phase of the birth control question, often overshadowed by moral and religious opinions, comes prominently to the front now when almost every large country has millions of unemployment. It is a well known fact that the woman of means is usually informed on the subjects of family restriction, while her sister of the tenements has no such knowledge, The streets of the poor quarters iff our cities are crowded with youngsters who too often grow up in unsuitable places, without proper training ,and who contribute largely to our delinquent classes. In hard times, if not at all times, they and their parents are a charge upon society. Frequently, also, a man and woman of superior intelligence and character feel that they haven't the financial means to bring up even one child, though their children would probably be equipped better than the average for the struggle for existence. These people who have denied themselves children must in hard times contribute to support the large families of the ig norant or improvident. A widespread distribution of birth control information might provide economic relief where it is most needed. HUMPTY-DUMPT- Y SILVER Paper money, an indispensable convenience to us, is regarded, with deep distrust by natives of the Orient and the Tropics. They prefer the almost indestructible ' silver, which can be buried in the ground, made into jewelry, worn as or carried in the loin cloth. China i one of the remaining countries. Her position, in this time of exceedingly d silver, is not a happy one. From July 1929 to the present time, the price of silver fell 50 per cent, cutting China's purrhns-in- g power in half. Consequently, the country is hard pressed fcr money to carry on trade and internal improvements. Our exports to China during the first 11 months of 1930 were 27 per cent less than foi the same period in 1929, while our imports were 37 per cent less. For once, overproduction cannot be blamed for a depressed market price. Silver's fall is due to the dumping of silver bullion upon the market by the Government of India and to .the debasement of silver coins by Great Britain, France, Bel gium, and other countries. Recent recommendations for remedying the situation were made by a Senate subcommittee headed by Senator Key Pittman of Nevada. Briefly they call for an international conference in regard to the use of silver as money, fornegotia-tion- s with Great Britain looking toward the suspension of her policy of dumping silver from India on the world market, and for an interna-t:ona- l silver loan to China. The last recommendation would doubtless have a tonic effrct on that country's trade, which would bene fit us as well as the world in gen oral. -- It has been our observaton that the Tremonton man who borrows trouble always pays it back with a high rate of interest. , "Makes Fertilizing Easy" Experienced farmer a give this as one of the reasons uhy they like The McCORMICK-DEERIN- G Manure Spreader over, THE country are boosting this newly improved Spreader.
