The plans suggested provide in substance that the United States government, or American business men, shall pay people in this country for their products, and take notes of European business men as security for the same. But Europe already owes the United States some $15,000,000,000. Whatever is dope ought not to increase this total by any great sum. , If the idle factories can be started up by extension of credit fop purchase of raw materials a fid payment of wages, a financing corporation might be safe in.taking as security therefor, the products' of these factories, or the' plant where they were produced. A corporation formed to loan money to such industries, and having as security a' variety of products on a large amount of scattered property, could do business more securely than the individual banker in dealing with some individual producer. If there were some losses, they should be so scattered lhat they would not be a heavy charge on any one loan. , The people of Europe are getting back to normal, and the product of their labor furnishes a security on which money can be loaned, providod too much is not required and that no large proportion is put into one place. Some help of this kind might do a Hot to create demand for American goods. But the people of Europe must make a start on paying off their mountain of debt. ! ' r , There is a universal feeling among- the people of this state that the - legislature recently adjourned committed itself to a program that is not in many respects going to be easily carried out. At this moment we have in mind the law regulating the practice of medicine and the treatment of human ailments. This measure, which is now a law, was especially designed to and does make it unlawful for any chiropractor to continue in his profession in this state. The law does not say so in just that many words, but it is so drawn that no chiropractor can abide by the standard of requirements set forth therein. ' There is little wonder that those who are opposed to the measure characterize it as a shrewd piece of class legislation. This law provides that those of the medical profession shaH have until 1926 in which to raise their standards, but it makes no provision for the drugless healer now practicing. On the contrary it prescribes rules and regulations that will not permit of chiropractic adjustments unless the chiropractor virbecomes a graduate., of a medical college. tually : While we have nothing but the highest regard for the medical profession,' we cannot help but see. an element of selfishness in the new law. That there is a broad field for the dragless healer has long since been thoroughly . demonstrated, and it occurs to us that it would . be equally as fair foil the chiropractor to attempt to put the M. D. out of existence as it is for the M. D. to eliminate the chiropractor. Furthermore it would be equally as fair for a chiropractic board to regulate the medical men, their fees, etc., a3 it is for a board comprised entirely of M. . D.s to regulate the chiropractor. The time has come when the drugless healer "has to be reckoned with. There is a field for both, and the chiropractor should be given just as long as the M. D. is given in which to prepare himself for any new regulation. Doubtless the new law will bring many a practicioner under its ban,' for there are hundreds of them treating, with excellent results, - thousands of people who were unable to get relief from the allopathic physicians. It is this great mass of human sufferers that is entitled to receive treatmeiit from the chiropractor so long as he is able to render service under certain' restrictions, not necessarily designed to eliminate him. We shall watch with interests the results of this new law, which will no doubt prove inoperative and expensive : First, because it is unfair, and secondly because that unfairness is so that no fair minded unprejudiced citizen wfll give it his moral support. - self-evide- nt THE UNEMPLOYED. - , In i The ReStleSs Sex ' Also SENNETT COMEDY Its A Boy WEDNESDAY .

It was easy to earn good pay, and there seemed no particular reason why anyone should hustle. Conditions like these cant last. When dull times come, these slack workers are laid off first, and they are the last to be put on when J rush times come again. Working conditions have been greatly alleviated for millions of people, by the shorter work day. This reduction of working time will make goods very costly, unless a large production is turned out. It used to be promised, that if working hours were cut down, people would be in so much better condition physically that they would turn out as much of a product in eight hours as they did on a ten hour basis. Unless that prediction is fulfilled, the cost of all commodities will continue high. BURYING GEORGE. JTIE LILLY DAY DRIVE.
