Show LETTERS 1 TO THE EDITOR I 1 j AS I SEE IT I You hear a lot about controls ! not being wanted. I can't see why i j anybody can believe that we can ; j be de-controlled. For as long as I there have been two people on ! earth we have oeen controlled, j Take Adams and Eve in the Car-I Car-I den of Eden, they were control-j control-j led, and had Eve not eaten the! I forbidden apple we wouldn't I i have been here to quarrel about j who's to control who. In our more or less depressed j conditions of the livestock and j i agriculture it was caused by lack I of keeping controls on our pro-! .ducts and letting the control goj to the sound dollar policy of ourj i ls-nrln... i xro,.t,i.. n 1 I noui-i; hi arming mil. I l uj J K: ' j are the cause of any depression, 1 j and as people are the cause we must have proier leadership to keep them from stampeding. As I see it, I am going to compare com-pare people with a herd of sheep; sometimes I think that sheep have more sense, but they have got to be controlled, and the better bet-ter the control the better the rheep; when they get fat, the easier they are to stampede, and during the stampede there are a lot trampled to death. You have to stop the leaders before a calamity ca-lamity happens, and what caused them to stampede was probably a wolf or a shot or some unnecessary noise. That is exactly ex-actly what is happening today in our livestock and commodity markets. The theory of the sound dollar dol-lar was the go-ahead signal for the wolves and gamblers in the livestock market to start the stampede, and today they trampled tram-pled and left by the wayside a lot of farmers and livestock men and after we stop the leaders we will finally calm calm ourselves and will get back to a sound business, and finally realize it should never have happened.
