Col. Brisbane as an Economist
Col. Arthur Brisbane is wildly excited, these early
June days. He calls upon Pres. Hoover to chastise the
members of the federal reserve board. He says they
have put the original Shylock to blush in their usuri
ous practices, that they are destroying the business of
the country, and lastly, they are bringing financial
ruin to the wheat growers and all the other farm
growers of America.
Col. Brisbane is telling the president that the fed
eral reserve board of bankers caused the price of
wheat to drop to the lowest level in years, that they
have demoralized the stability of the cotton market
as well as the price of cotton and unless sagacious
men of sound financial acumen and vast experience
are picked for board membership prosperity will go
sky high and the country will go to the devil.
Now what has the federal reserve to do with the
price of wheat? There is a large carry-over of the
American crop of 1928. This Is admitted. There is
a large carry-over of the corn crop of 1928. This is
admitted. There is a large carry-over of the cotton
crop of 1928. This is admitted.
American farmers need a foreign merket for
wheat. They need a foreign market for cotton. They
need a foreign market for corn. They need a foreign
market for all staple crop surpluses.
Will Col. Arthur Brisbane, financial economist of
and for Wall street, tell the people how the federal
reserve bank board could go about providing foreign
markets for the American surpluses of all thp.se crops?
He is violently opposed to the export debenture plan.
He Is shoulder to shoulder with Pres. Hoover in his
opposition to the export debenture plan.
As for the federal reserve board it refuses to fur
nish speculators in and out of Wall street with cheap
call money to ply their business or trade or profession
or gambling operation. Many of the greatest Ameri
can bankers and financiers advised the action taken
by the board in curbing what is known as Wall street
prosperity and In making call money so high that a
halt had to be called by the most conservative of the
plungers.
Why Not Settle the Prison
Problem?
Members of the prison board returned a verdict
•gainst the prison bill enacted at the first special
session. They declared it non-workable and advised
a veto. Many prison farms are under water. Vast
damage to growing crops and prison equipment face
the lawmakers. A model prison system Is demanded
by the people of Texas. A centralized system Is de
manded. A system which is not a white elephant
at that Is demanded.
Really It should he possible for the senators and the
representatives to agree upon a plan which will result
In the legislation demanded by the people of the
, commonwealth—a plan which will receive the endorse
ment of the governor and the members of the prison
beard and this too before final adjournment of the
second call session.
•Prison farms under water'* Is an object lesson
which should not be overlooked Heavy losses to the
system caused by the flood is another object lesson
which should be faced by the constructive men and
women whose names appear on the roster of the 41st
legislature.
A Man Will Succeed Mabel
Washington predicts that a man will succeed Ma
bel. That is. Atty. Gen. William D. Mitchell will name
a man as assistant attorney general to direct the
activities of the pro enforcement department of the
government.
Washington insists that Mabel did not fit into the
enforcement program mapped out by the attorney
general. Blame it on the democrats. When Mitchell
was appointed it was announced that he was a demo
crat. which was in the nature of a joke.
Mitchell had voted for Hughes. Harding. Coolidge
and Hoover. He voted against the return of Wood
row Wilson to the White House in 1916 and Wilson
was the great war president of the United States. If
Mitchell is a democrat, then Thomas Edison is a
watchmaker.
Of course, he is one of the foremost lawyers of the
nation, a man of high personal integrity, but he is
going to be the attorney general of the United States,
which means that he would not play second fiddle to
Mabel or any ether man or woman while chief of the
department of Justice of the government.
Public Opinion Forced the Issue
Public opinion is all powerful. Public opinion thun
dered its verdict in the ears of American senators who
prefer the dark to the light—that is. who prefer ex
ecutive sessions behind closed doors to pass upon nom
inations made by the president.
Official Washington says publication hereafter of
all roll calls taken in executive sessions cf the senate
in the consideration of nominations, is the recom
mendation made to the senate by its rules committee.
This is a victory for the press and the people and the
press serves the American people.
LaFollette of Wisconsin submitted a motion to re
store the privilege of the senate floor to representa
tives of the press associations. This motion was re
jected by the rules committee.
Now that the battle is on for the freedom of the
press as well as the freedom of the people, which lat
ter battle involved the right of the people to be given
the record at all times of their public servants, there
should be no let-up on the part of those who believe
in constitutional liberty and the open door in the halls
of legislation. .

take a job with an aviation company because of the big
salary is shocking. It is as if back in the saloon

do's"—aud not l Hiding any fault
with the:r new label.
It simply seems to bo one of those
cares where what was intended as
an epithet is crabbed and trans- j
formed into a badge of honor. Sen- j
ator Brookhan made a nominal
howl aboti: it. to be sure, but rh:
grin on his face showed that he
liked it.
The anti-Hoover senators have
reason to be tickled.
When Senator Fes* spoke of pseu
do republicans he included a num
ber of republicans who were ofi the
reservation only temporarily, and
undoubtedly would speedily have re
turned to it. Denounced as lying, J
false, counterfeit and spurious, they
are good and sore now. and quite
likely to remain indefinitely in a
state of rebellion.
‘ Once a pseudo, always a pseudo."
as one of them expressed it.
• • •
Senator Fess always has been
known—the comparison is perfectly
ridiculous, for he is the primest.
about the most decorous member of
congress—but he always has been
known as c. political bull in the gov
ernmental china shop.
This time, however, it is generally
agreed that the amount of crock
ery he has smashed breaks all past
records.
His belated explanation that—an.
ex-college president—he had used
the word pseudo without fully un
derstanding its significance, but had
merely picked it up from a speech
by Senator Hiram Johnson, because
he liked the sound of it—ani the
immediate offer from the California
senator, who was one of the pseu
do s. to lend him the whole speech if
he cared to use it—these only
amounted to a fresh crash of Havi
land. as the Ohioan struggled to ex
tricate himself from the wreckage.
Senator James E. Watson of In
diana. the G. O. P. floor leader, who
had been striving to end the extra
session as speedily as possible. called
all bets off after looking over the
scene of the disaster, and now pre
dicts that the row will last all sum
mer.
The best he hopes for is a three
or four weeks' vacation during the
boiling hot weather.
If these were olden tim"s. they say
the administration v/oulri have Sen
ator F'ess beheaded cn Capitol Hill.
As it is. President Hoover invited
him to dinner, but not the same din
ner that Senator William E. Borah,
pseudo-in-chief, attended.

Outlook
By ARTHUR H. JENKINS
Editor The Firm Journal, for Cen
tral Press
There are troubles in all busines- !
es. but I doubt if any other business
is so troubled with any one thing
as farming is troubled with insect
pests.
You have seen, perhaps, tucked
away on an inside page of your
newspaper, a few lines about the ar
rival of the Mediterranean fruit fly
in Florida.
That did not mean much to you.
very likely, but to the fruit-grower
in the south and southwest it was
a terrific Jolt.
Because we know all about this
tiny little scoundrel from Europe.
She crossed the ocean long ago. and
has been fairly common in the trop
ical countries and islands south of
us. We know how destructive she
can be.
But hitherto we have been sue- 1
eessful In keeping her out of the
United States, and the news that
several court ies in Florida were at
tacked sounds as bad to the fruit
man as the announcement of the
arrival of the San Jose scale from
Japan, or the Japanese beetle, or
the European cornborer, or the boll
wccvil.
• • •
I am not sure the fruit fly is not
as bad as the deadly foot-and
mouth disease that attacks livestock,
since we Know the foot-and-mouth
disease can be stamped out by he- !
roic measures. We are not so sure
of the fruit fly.
What the fly does is to lay its eggs
in many kinds of developing fruit—
oranges, grapefruit, pears, peaches—
and some kinds of vegetables. The
worms that hatch out eat the flesh
of the fruit, which presently rots
and drops off. The worms emerge,
go down into the ground, and pres- (
ently there is a new generation of <
flies.
The trouble is. that the damage
is done inside the fruit, and the fly
cannot very well be attacked by
sprays. The fly seems to have no
natural parasites. Poison bait has
some success The most effective line
of attack is by a thorough clean-up
of fallen fruit, catch and destroying
the worms before they can enter the
ground.
• • •
AH the available forces of the de
partment of agriculture were in
stantly directed to this new peril.
In a sense, the department has
expected this invasion for a long
t'me. and has been sitting with a
shotgun in its hand, waiting for the
dog to bark
It may be that drastic clean-up
measures and quarantines can stamp
out the fly. as foot-and-mouth dis
eare has several times appeared and
been destroyed.
Let us devoutly hope ro For if
the fruit fly gets out of control, as
the San Jose scale and the boll
weevil got out of control, we shall
have bad days in the fru.t orchards
and groves of the south before we
can learn the best way to hold down
the damage it does.
