A number of leading credit men of the country are urging a movement for profits to be trimmed down as low aa possible for awhile es a means of getting back 'on a aubitanlla and satisfying basis. In cases wbere prices can pot at present be reduced. It would help the general situation and feeling, theae credit men point out. If assurance wtre given that at leutl, there will be no increase in the prices of the commodities involved. Meanwhile, if production can be Increased, even though slowly, there need be little fear as to the developments in business and the welfare of all concerned. No one ill expect arpr business house to to try operate without some profit from its investment and some reward for the efforts puts fortti. Nor would anyone ask .that the margin of profit be so small as to endahger the business should a sudden emergency arise. The merchants must, of course, protect themselves against insolvency. But it Is reasonable, and only fair, that they be asked to cut down their profits as much as possible, and certainly (hat they do not take advantage of the times to add unnecessarily to the burdens of tbe ' ' consumer. , THE DESERET NEWS Career f South Temple and fcall at Tempi Street City, Utah.

POCKET VETOES," ETC ! the time of this writing the Preiidenti action has not been announced with respect to the numerous measures transmitted to him for his approval immediately before llie ad- -' Journment of Congress, and presumably doomed vetos because ihey reached itimloo ' late for consideration the legislative , while branch of the government was still in session to receive the report of his action. Since adjourn- ment, the attorney general has given in opin-io- n to the effect that any lime within ten days, ( after receiving such bills, his signature would make them valid; and a good many'bthera have r assumed that this was so plain a constitutional . provision as to be beyond question or doubt, i However, it is pot so plain as these wiseacres declare. The Constitution itself is not clear I upon the point, nor have 'the courts ruled upon it decisively. The Supreme Court, it is true, I has decided that bills signed by tbe President i ' during a recess of Congress become legally effective; but on the point now at isaua namely, his power to sign them within a ten i day limit after adjournment, no delerraina- tion has ever been reached, and It has to be f 'eaid that precedent favors the view that bills i so signed are not valid. Tbe words of the ' Constitution are; , If any bill shall not be relumed by the president within 10 days (Sunday excepted) , after it shall have been presented to him, the same shall be a law in like manner as if be had signed it, unless the Congress by their adjournment prevent its return, law. , , in which case it shall not be The only thing clear in IWs provision Is that the President has not the power to kill a bill by deliberately putting in his pocket or ignoring it while Congress is in scssjon the reference obviously is to bills which he has no same lima there U - intention of signing. no specific denial, any more than there is specific affirmation, of his right to sign bills which may have gained his approval immediately succeeding tbe adjournment - of Congress. Many of thr'slates, Utah included, definitely confer this power upon the governor; and it would certainly seem to he a proper power to he enjoyed by the President without any such dubiety as now exists. It is therefore to be hoped, and may reasonably be expected, that tho President may er have felt to sign some op these bills, if only for the purpose of making a test case for friendly submission to the highest court for decision. The water-powbill, for example, is of enough prominence and importance to attract the attention of the wbolo country if the question were raised as to its validity, and it would doubtless claim the earliest possible consideration of the Supreme Court if brought before that body for determination as to tbe legality of this phase of its enactment. 1 l -- At-ihe 1 left-ov- ! a 1 i I ri ? er FRIENDSHIPS GEN. ; i 5 i AND BOUNDARY LINES. OBREGON, who has hopes of being president of Mexico, is reported as expressing the wish that the border between bis republic and tbe United States may be made like that between the United States and Canada; and bis wish is accompanied by a 'pledge to bring about, so far as in bis power iiee, a status so gratifying. If the amiable gentleman will but reflect a moment, be will discern where the principal reformative and corrective task is to be found. The people and government on the north side of the Mexican border are the same people and government as on the south side of the Canadian border! and there is no reason, so far as they are concerned, why they should not be as good neighbors with those in the south as with those in the north. But General Obre- gon cannot be unaware that in the qualities of good neighborliness there exists a great difference between the inhabitants south of the can border and the Inhabitants north of the Canadian border. His problem is consequently strictly local. AH he has to do is to cause his people on his side of the line to be like the people on the north side of the Canadian line. Tbe people' in the middle will try to be pleasant with both sides. With w comparatively few exceptions this is their sincere desire. DESERET ' BUCK DIUIONDS."

Since the latter date, under the seven-hoday, the highest weeks output has been 4,990,000 tons. In order, however, that a wrong emphasis be not too hastily deduced from this comparison, it must be stated that since' May, 1919, the number of workers employed in the industry has increased .by about 50,000. But even the recognition of this fact does not. materially affect the significance pf the general comparison. The total number of coal mine employees In Great Britain Is now estimated , at about 1,150,000. There is justifiable satisfaction with the showing. With a weekly total of nearly five million tons, British production is being increased at a rate that leaves little to be desired; and the fact that the output during the present year bae been maintained at Its highest level day aince the introduction of the seven-ho- ur will naturally give encouragement to those who advocate that policy, and cannot but weaken the argument! of those who oppose, iL Inci dentally, it is pleasing lo note that the official approximation of the British board of trade as to coal production for the year from July, J919, to July, 1920,, revised in conformity with the present weekly output, has been increased by aome twenty million tons, being now estimated at more than 230,000,000 tons. Another illustration of the success of the government in toward planning and working and the. great object of securing the highest possible production in British industries. ur - ur SCORES THURSDAY Fr Tba Nii Deoeret drink-craz- ed HOPE IS SEEN IN FIGHT ON CANCER. -- TARTLING, indeed, are the figures announced in New York Tuesday as to tho number of cancer victims in (lie United States. At a convention of the Allied Medical Association of America, Dr. Frederick Dugdale, vice president S of the organization, declared that the best estimate of medical experts was that in 1919 fully 100,000 deaths were caused by cancer in the country; the number of persons afflicted by the dread malady at presents was given as 500,000. Assurance was giver!, however, that progress is being made toward conquering the disease, and it ia expected that in the not far distant future there will be a great reduction " in the number of victims.
