The habit of extensive advertising through the m id winter jieriod, which is followed by so many firms now, tends to keep goods moving, in a steady stream out of the »tores, and thus produces steady em ployment for the people. Business men about once in every six m onths seem to have a period when they g et a little anx ious about the business future, and feel that the rather unusual degree of prosperity which we have been enjoying, must come to an end. And each time, after a little slowing down, the business machine keeps starting up again. The low rates of .interest now prevailing en courage people to invest money in business. The savings of the country have largely increased, which creates an abundant supply o f capital, and this encourages all kinds of enterprises tom orrow money and spend it freely on new construction. Agriculture still continues somewhat depres sed, owing to the failure of farm prices to keep pace with factory goods prices. Som ething w ill have to be done to meet that situation, but mean while m any farmers are learning how to adjust themselves to it personally. The loadings of freight cars so far th is year have been ahead of last year, which is partly due to increased coal shipments. B ut even leaving out coal, this traffic is nearly up to 1926, show ing but little sign so far of any falling off in business. There is nothing in sight to indicate any depression to amount to anything. The American people w ill spend an enormous amount of money in the year to come, and those who show enterprise and efficiency in meeting their needs, should he well rewarded. Surplus Crops The controversy over farm relief which is so vafetly agitating congress, results from prices for certain farm crops which are relatively low, and these low prices oocur because the fanners produoe more of these crops than can be sold at*a profit No one ever made money by producing more stuff than can be sold at a profit. The laws of sup ply and demand tfre supposed to check such over production, but they do not alw ays do so on farm crops. The manufacturer of shoes or clothing can decide in advance how much o f his merchandise can be sold at a p rofit and he ean fit h is production at that figure. But the farm er’s produotion is not so easily fixed. Favorable weather m ay unexpectedly in crease the crop, and it has been alm ost impossible to get the farmers to agree on the amounts they will produce. As the farm goods are perishable, over produotion m ay be a total loss. There is great need (or some movement to regulate produc tion better. R ising Prices in Cities Carl Snyder, economist o f the New York Fed eral Reserve bank, predicts that prices w ill keep on rising in the cities, because of the continued drift of the rural population into these centers. It seems reasonable at least that they may keep on rising in the big cities. Business can not be done economically in the great metro|Militan oenters, because the iwiople gather in such a mass that real estate prices and rents rise to exaggerated figures. I t costs more to live there, which increases distribution costs. The growth of big cities has gone ahead too fast rela tive to the rest of the country. Conditions in places like Ashland are more normal and favorable to people of limited rncaus. Eighty Years of Service . - The world used to look with the most admira tion on kings and soldiers, and in recent tim es ora tors and statesmen have seemed to have the first place in the limelight. Today we realize that the great scientists have uided,humaft progress as much as anyone. When a wonderful inventor like Thomas A. Edison celebrated his 80th birthday a few’ days ago, we all felt as if we would like to take off our hats and say “ Thank you” to him personally. In e ve ry home in Ashland the traces of his Igentas can lie found. He has had the g ift to a su preme extent of taking the theoreticakprinciples of s c ie n c e , and applying them in such n w av as to save th e toil and discomforts of daily living. ‘ .

The law is a restrictive measure and a confession that the public is not fit for self gov ernment. The only excuse tor the law, and it may have been eg- onse enough, is that there is not a proper lim it on who may vote for tax measures. I f the senate w ill amend the proposal whan it comes to them so that only those who pay taxes can vote us strictly tax measures, then there Is no proper excuse for the 6 per cent lim itation measure. City councils and county' courts can certainly be trusted to levy rates that are satisfactory to the m a jo rity of taxpayers and if bond Issues are lim ited to taxpayers voters, there is not apt to be any wild extravagance.
