Swing Declines to Take Vacation (Continued from Page 1) gress is the "goat." If congress proceeds cautiously and examines with care each piece of proposed legislation before adopting it, it is criticized as a "do-nothing" congress wasting its time in talking. On the other hand, if debate is cut off and a bill is hurried through, again congress is criticized and is denounced for using the "gag rule" or is accused of "railroading" through "ill-considered" legislation. "In my opinion there are half a dozen pieces of legislation any one of which, even if this congress had passed nothing else, would have reflected great credit upon it. The one with the greatest possibilities is the resolution calling for the disarmament conference, known as the Borah resolution; another is the budget bill which gives business-like administration to our expenditures—a great impulse for economy; farmer legislation including the emergency tariff, the farm product export act and the bill providing $25,000,000 additional money for farm loan board; soldier legislation for the benefit of the ex-service men, especially the creation of the veterans' bureau to look after their interests; the peace resolution ending the technical state of war with Germany and Austria and repealing much oppressive war-time legislation; the immigration restriction bill protecting American labor during hard times against a great influx of cheap foreign labor just as the tariff bill is to protect our farmers and manufacturers against a flood of cheaply produced foreign products. These and many other important bills have received the consideration of one or both branches of Congress. But it is not my intention to review this legislation at this time. If I have the time and the opportunity I will do so later. goat grazing in AIDS F An experiment in old burned forest tried out with success of the Santa Kest, Calif., by the United States department. When there is brush it is often done to reach a forethought that goats up such areas with brush or causing erosion. Because of the real plants, none of injuriously when tended on to the area are remained intact. The mittee, who open cheese factory, is in the range. The kik to eat the brush by cutting cut brush every turned out. Contraction, the goats to the dense brush stray, for where they seek open space government and some against foreign governments such as Mexico, Germany, and Austria. Some claims are against people in the government service where the government is asked to use its influence to "persuade" them to do the right thing. Wives sometimes appeal for assistance to compel men in the army or navy to support them and their children. By far the greater number of claims are from old soldiers and their widows for pensions and from disabled veterans of the late war for compensation and insurance. While this latter class of work requires a great deal of my time, it gives me the greatest degree of satisfaction to be of some assistance to those who made great sacrifices in behalf of their country. As long as I am a congressman, they shall have first call on my time. "Still another class of requests relate to information. The government furnishes much of this in pamphlet form, such as farmers' bulletins containing advice on every subject of interest to a farmer; baby bulletins relating to care of infants and other public health reports, market reports both domestic and foreign, setting forth the condition of these markets and opportunities for American enterprise as well a smany other publications on almost every subject under the sun. Many of these, in limited quantities, are for free distribution, for others, a small charge is made. The fact is the government printing office where this work is all done, is the largest plant of its kind in the world and is always busy. But aside from requests for standard government publications, every congressman gets hundreds of requests for miscellaneous information. As examples the following are a few taken at random from many. The whereabouts of lost relatives, interpretation of various laws, how to make alcohol (ethyl) from farm by... "A congressman's work, in addition to his legislative duties, covers a wide scope and is varied in its nature. He receives on an average from 40 to 60 letters a day and from 5 to 10 telegrams, most of them beginning with "we want." It is not always possible to comply with all these requests but every congressman does the best he can for his constituents. "These requests may we said to fall in general under four heads, first, requests to favor or oppose certain pending legislation. Some times this takes on the form of a drive and clearly shows that it is propaganda. In one instances the letters and envelopes were all printed and addressed. The constituents had only to sign their names, but strange to say, so little interest did they seem to take that in several instances they overlooked that rather important detail. Petitions to congress are still indulged in, although the known ease with which signatures to a petition may be secured rather weighs against the effect and influence of this method. "A second class of requests relates to what might be called personnel. These are requests to have persons appointed to various offices or to some branch of the government service. Just now it is largely postoffices, but it extends to the army and navy and includes both domestic and foreign service. I have had requests which ranged from a desire to be appointed page in the house of representatives to minister to Slam. In the latter case, I did not hesitate to endorse the application at once. I figured that if he was a friend he deserved the appointment, while if he was an enemy—well, where could a more ideal place be found for an enemy, where such magnificent distances intervene? "Under this head also fall requests for promotions, requests for discharges, and requests for transfers from one location to another. You would be surprised to know the numb..." The fact is the government printing office where this work is all done, is the largest plant of its kind in the world and is always busy. But aside from requests for standard government publications, every congressman gets hundreds of requests for miscellaneous information. As examples the following are a few taken at random from many. The whereabouts of lost relatives, interpretation of various laws, how to make alcohol (ethyl) from farm byproducts; (I have also received requests as to how to make the other kind); present status of applications pending before the various departments, such as for public lands, oil and gas leases, power permits, patents, etc., (usually accompanied with a request to speed up action), how to get people into this country and how to get them out, (passports), best methods for purifying water, best methods for exterminating blackbirds, family pedigrees as shown by official military records, probably as a foundation for membership in the D. A. R. or similar organizations, etc. These are some of the things which keep a representative busy in Washington even though congress has taken a recess." JUDGE LANDIS' WAGE CUTS The wage cuts by Judge Landis, as arbitrator in the Chicago building trades dispute, are not themselves of so much importance as the principles he followed in readjusting the scales. His decision, for one example, that ablebodied, competent workers who insist on restricting their output below their easy capacity to produce more must expect to have their daily pay correspondingly restricted is as admirable in morals as it is sound in economics. Again, the organized workers who will not permit ordinary labor to perform the simplest and crudest work on jobs that "belong to them," but compel the employer to pay them the wages of highly skilled workers for moving rubbish or carrying dead weight, must, by Judge Landis' opinion, expect to be treated more as common labor than as skilled labor. Since they degrade themselves from the higher to the lower function of labor their economic rank and their pay must be similarly degraded. Nothing is truer and nothing is more melancholy about the economic calamity which befell this country after the war than the fact that the exorbitant labor costs, which locked the industrial... latter case, I did not hesitate to endorse the application at once. I figured that if he was a friend he deserved the appointment, while if he was an enemy—well, where could a more ideal place be found for an enemy, where such magnificent distances intervene? "Under this head also fall requests for promotions, requests for discharges, and requests for transfers from one location to another. You would be surprised to know the number in the government service constantly seeking transfers to California. If we could only find the jobs for them, we could have half the population of the United States moved out to the Pacific coast before winter. I must confess that I some times feel flattered by the confident manner in which some of these requests are worded—that is, one would feel flattered if he could only make himself believe that his constituent's point of view was correct. One might easily imagine—if he had not already experienced the bitterness of disillusion—that all a congressman had to do was to slip into the office of the secretary of the army or navy, or postmaster general, or that of the president even, and to allow that austere official to gather from the general drift of your conversation that it would be pleasing to you to see such and such a person appointed, promoted, transferred, or discharged, as the case may be, and that said high official would instantly devise much speed as to nearly strip his off. Years, in his eager haste to start the necessary machinery moving to carry into execution your representative's humble desires. Fortunately or unfortunately, as the point of view may be, such is not the case. "Another class of requests may be termed fiscal, constituting claims for money. Some of these are against our moving rubbish or carrying dead weight, must, by Judge Landis' opinion, expect to be treated more as common labor than as skilled labor. Since they degrade themselves from the higher to the lower function of labor their economic rank and their pay must be similarly degraded. Nothing is truer and nothing is more melancholy about the economic calamity which befell this country after the war than the fact that the exorbitant labor costs, which locked the industrial wheels and threw millions of wage earners out of employment, were due not merely to high wage earners but to the low productivity of workers getting their inflated wages. There were millions of men in this country who were not doing as much work and not doing it so well for $5 and $6 a day as they had done it before for $2 and $3 a day. There were thousands of men in the skilled classifications who were taking $8, $9 and $10 a day but not actually earning, by the measuring stick of quantity and quality of output. As much as the $3 man had earned before the war. They killed American business. A labor union leadership that incites its members to loaf on their jobs protects them from discharge when they do is its own worst enemy. It cannot survive. Workers, organized or unorganized, whose product becomes less the higher their pay goes are bringing about their own ruin with a sureness which is as sure as death. No other man in this country ever did labor unionism so much harm as Sam Gompers and his associates have done it in the last year by resisting the restoration of labor's economic efficiency and blatting all over the land that union members' wages must not be reduced whether they earn them or do not earn them. The American people are going to ANAHBIM GAZETTE get back to original principles in the matter of a fair day's work for a fair day's pay which gave this country the economic supremacy of the world. They are going to get back to it if they have to steam roller every Sam Gompers in the United States as flat as a pancake. Judge Landis, whose interest in American labor, whatever his shortcomings, is genuine and deep seated, knows this. So when he enforces, among those for whom he has arbitrated the disputed points, the very fundamental which is under every wage, every cost and every price he is moving, in fact, to save organized labor itself from the rocks upon which its own wreckers have been madly driving it. GOAT GRAZING IN BRUSH AIDS FIRE PREVENTION An experiment in grazing goats over old burned forest areas recently was tried out with success on the Ojal district of the Santa Barbara national forest, Calif., by the forest service of the United States department of agriculture. When there is a dense growth of brush it is often difficult for fire fighters to reach a forest fire, and it was thought that goat grazing would open up such areas without killing the brush or causing erosion. Because of the multitude of individual plants, none of them were browsed injuriously when the goats were turned on to the area and the root systems remained intact. The largest goat permittee, who operates a profitable cheese factory, is well satisfied with the range. The kids had to be taught to eat the brush by feeding them a little cut brush every day before they are turned out. Contrary to general expectation, the goats go voluntarily into the dense brush. They are not apt to stray, for when they are filled up they seek open spots. other cities of New Jersey are as much a part of the American metropolis, from a standpoint of location, as many communities allotted to London are a part of the British capital. They can never be included in the statement of New York's numbers, but a large portion of their population inhabits the big city for many hours daily. But mere size in a city is no longer looked upon so desirable as formerly. Quality is considered more than quantity. If Pittsburgh had her due she would rank far higher in the census table than she does today. Her comparative prosperity is reflected in her bank clearings and in the products of her industries. The mere population figures do not tell the whole story of any community's relative importance among her sister cities.

Eva Lyons Smith Plano Classical-Thilo Bcker Method Orange County Representative CHRISTENSEN SCHOOL WHAT'S THE LARGEST CITY Few questions are more frequently asked the information bureau of newspapers than "What is the world's largest city?" For many years the answer was simple: "London." Then the Greater New York arose taking in not only Brooklyn, but Staten Island and the Bronx and other outlying districts and became the world's metropolis. London followed suit, increasing her area and population, and the question became confused. Now comes announcement of the census taken this year which gives London a population of 7,476,168, an increase in the last decade of nearly three millions. Last year's census gave Greater New York a population of less than 900,000 increase since 1910, or 5,621,151 inhabitants. The present area of Greater New York is 315 square miles and of Greater London 695. Jersey City, Hoboken, Newark and impuriously when the goats were turned on to the area and the root systems remained intact. The largest goat permittee, who operates a profitable cheese factory, is well satisfied with the range. The kids had to be taught to eat the brush by feeding them a little cut brush every day before they are turned out. Contrary to general expectation, the goats go voluntarily into the dense brush. They are not apt to stray, for when they are filled up they seek open spots. The narrow trails made by the goats would with a minimum of labor, check a ground fire. The grass growth has increased, and bunch grass growing along the trails traversed twice a day by the goats is untouched and allowed to seed. The grazing capacity of this brush area is 1 acre a head a year. The yearly cost of running goats, including grazing fee, is $1 a head. This is offset by the manure conserved in bedding corrals, which is sold at the same rate. The annual loss amounts to 5 per cent, whereas 10 per cent is considered normal elsewhere. The luster on the mohair, which appears but once a year on goats in some places, is present at all times on these Santa Barbara goats. The fleeces are exceptionally clean because none of the chapparral species have burrs. Grazing on burned areas should not be deferred more than eight years after a fire, it is said. After that the brush is too high above ground to give satisfactory results. EDWARD B.
