All rights for republication of special dispatches herein are reserved MEMBER OF THE ASSOCIATED PRESS UNCLE SAM’S HOT STUFF Another fine example of government bureaucracy .is seen in a recent warning by the Federal Trade Commis sion addressed to the Durant (Okla.) Weekly News, which had been doing battle for home merchants against mail order houses. The News had published an offer of a year’s subscrip tion to anyone who would deliver at its office a mail order catalogue of the weight of two ponds or more. Of course the idea was merely to emphasize the advisability of buying at home and incidentally to get the catalogues out of the way. But the Federal Trade Commission ruled that this was interfering with business of the mail order houses and ordered the News to stop buying catalogues. This zeal to “protect” the poor, downtrodden mail order houses is truly touching. Really, it is hot stuff. At any rate, we now know how sacred is the mail or der catalogue. It may be neither bought nor sold. It might be adjudged high treason to consign it to the garb age can. In order to safely avert the wrath of the Fed eral Trade Commission it would be well to keep it in a glass case. Claims of aggrieved ladies suing for alimony run into millions. And those old Dawson stampeders thought they were gold-diggers. A Senator declares that short sessions of Congress involve an enormous waste of public money.
