SPECIAL SESSION NO EXCUSE— mentioned last week, in this column, Wall A S Street and the gamblers in foodstuffs (wheat and all farm products), are using the age old excuse for the declining markets, that con gress will be in session. Taken from a national standpoint, there is no sane reason why either market should show such a violent decline. While it is true that build ing contracts are down, September was the first month to show a decline, in comparison to last years level. Household appliances have shown a marked increase over the same comparative per iods last year, this is especially true of electric stoves, the sale of which has been especially good. The automobile industry expects another banner year and have ‘stepped up’ their produc tion lines, and along with the ‘stepping up’ have, in some cases raised the price of their products. Retail store figures for September of this year, show a substantial gain over the same month of last year. With everyone in the retail business looking forward to a tremendous holiday busi ness. These gamblers are crying about super-regi mentation of the stock exchange through the S. E.C. The only regulatory powers of this board, is the regulation concerning the placing of stock on the market and the matter of ‘margin’ re quired to purchase stock, after it is placed on the ‘board.’ As to the ‘margin’ required, we are at a loss to see why, when a person sells stock, he should not be required to be an actual owner of the stock sold. As it now stands anyone, who deals in stock, can go to any exchange and sell stock that he never had title to, and never in tends to. This is termed ‘short selling’. If a far mer went out and sold a thousand acres of land and accepted another persons money for it, without having a deed for the property, he would be guilty of every thing in the law books. And summarily brought before a court. The trick of ‘short selling’ of course is covered by a subsequent buying o? that same stock at a lower figure. The same condition exists as to farm pro ducts, except that there are more people effected by ‘hedge sales.’ In this case the fanner is the ‘fall guy’. He’s the one that produced the pro ducts that the gamblers in the Chicago ‘pit’ make money when the bottom drops out of the price, due to ‘hedge selling.’ We are not, as a rule, one to shout ‘there should be a law,’ but if the present administra tion really wants to help the farmer, the way seems simple. Stop all ‘short’ or ‘hedge’ selling. Make the seller produce actual ownership of the stock or farm products that he is ‘selling (but which he is really betting that the price will go down). Of course there will be those who will say, you are taking away our personal rights. Just what is this thing called personal rights? Isn’t it the right to conduct yourself and affairs to your own satisfaction, so long as you do not impose on the rights of any other person. Nor does it in clude the right of anyone to shove the other to the wall. I ’ A ------------------------ * ------------------------- OPPOSITION— I T is our sincere belief that any administra tion, of either national, state, county or city, should have ‘opposition’ parties. And we do not mean blind partisan opposition. Constructive criticism in most cases, as among indivduals, is a mark of real friendship. There seems to be a general impression among supporters of our national administration, that anyone who criticizes our present national in cumbents, are back biters, traitors and un-Am erican. Why this viewpoint? Thomas Jefferson, whom present day I)emocrats claim as their founder, but revered by all parties, came in for his share of the severest type of criticism. Theo dore Roosevelt was another who had a critical opposition—Woodrow Wilson was another. All these men welcomed that opposition—of course not for the opposition alone, but for the mis takes that, that opposition was pointing out to them. The present administration has done some wonderful things for this country.

They gave a very inspiring program of readings and songs, fol lowed by an Interesting talk by their president, Mr. Noble Pullen, a for mer resident of this community. About twenty young people from Hcmedale took part in the service. We have given them an urgent in vitation to return and eagerly look forward to another visit from Mr. Pullen and his fine group of young people. basement. The afternoon meeting began at 2:30 p. m. with prayer and singing. Brother Homer M. Doyle, of Boise at the piano and Mrs. Doyle as song leader. Everyone seemed to do their best at singing and God blessed us all. A scripture reading by various ones in the congregation on the subject of ‘Grace’, was enjoyed for a short session, followed by special songs and prayer. The after noon message was given by Broth er Curtis of Payette, Ida. Lunch was served again in the basement at 5:30. Everything was free and everyone enjoyed the sweet fellowship around the basement tables as well as in the upper room. . A street meeting was held by a large number of people in the even ing with Brother John Campbell in charge. We have heard a good re port of the street meeting. We hope everyone that heard it, enjoyed it. The evening meeting again at the church started at 8:00 o’clock, with an attendance of perhaps about two hundred and fifty or more. The meeting opened a g a i n w i t h prayer and songs, with Brother Doyle at the piano and Brother Parrish of Caldwell as song leader. Brother Carlsen of La Grande gave the evening message, which we all enjoyed. It was truly a day of re joicing for everyone that came.
