CONGRESS MIGHT LOOK INTO MILK BUSINESS
One of the things congress might profitably do be-
fore adjournment is to order a thorough investigation of
the milk distribution business.
Milk is a necessity of life for millions of people—all
the children of the nation and a good share of the adults.
Its production is the sole source of income for millions of
dairy farmers.
In some way the business has managed to get itself
out of gear so that the consumer has to pay more for milk
than he should w'hile the farmer is unable to make a
profit.
Witnesses testifying before a recent meeting of the
Senate Agricultural Committee revealed that there is in
New York state a distribution cost of something like 200
per cent.
New York dairymen get from 1 \± to 4 cents a quart
for their milk; consumers pay from 12 to 16 cents. One
does not need to dig very far into the cost sheets to get
# the idea that this spread is out of all proportion.
A sidelight on this came from further testimony be-
fore the committee in which it was shown that middle-
western farmers setting up their own plants in Chicago
have been selling milk to consumers at prices ranging be-
tween 6*4 and 8 cents a quart.
All this of course is not to say that the milk distri-
butor is not entitled to a profit for his work of getting the
milk from producer to consumer. He is. But it is pretty
obvious that in some cases at least the spread between
what you pay for Johnny’s morning glass of milk and
what the farmer gets for his labors with Bessy the Bossy
is out of all proportion.
The problem is not one that can be solved easily.
Leaders of the AAA have been wrestling with it for some
time and so far have not been able to get it untangled.
Someone has remarked that ironing out this matter
of milk production and distribution involves all the knot-
ty problems of present-day capitalism.
And that of course is all the more reason why con-
gress should investigate the matter from top to bottom.
GRAIN DEALING NEXT
Now that congress has devised regulation for the
stock exchange it might properly look into the matter of
the grain exchanges and see if a good field for its efforts
is not open there.
It has been pointed out that our system of dealing
in agricultural commodity futures is so warped and gen-
erally illogical that the recent drouth which threatens to
cause a loss of at least $200000000 to the wheat growers
of the United States may at the same time enrich the
speculators by three times that much.
One does not need to meditate over this very long to
get the idea that something is out of balance with a sys-
tem that works like that.
Just what the remedy may be is not quite clear; but
that congress might well look into the matter is pretty
obvious.
ONE LOOPHOLE LESS
The customer of public utilities got a break out of
passage by congress of the Johnson bill closing federal
courts to public utilities seeking injunctions against rate
decisions of state utility commissions.
This bill ends an old custom by which a utility fre-
quently was able to whipsaw the luckless consumer for
months on end.
Utilities previously were able to go to law in either
the state or federal courts or both when they wished to
object to the state commission’s regulation. The custom-
ary procedure was to do both; in this way the litigation
was drawn out to great lengths and the utility got an un-
reasonable advantage.
Under the new law the utility must fight it out in the
atate courts. It is a piece of good luck for the ordinarv
citizen. *

A large international syndicate is
reported to be planning a Chinese
loan. Tokyo used a press dispatch
to that effect as an excus^ to an-
nounce that the Japanese govern-
ment would tolerate a loan to
China only if the money were used
for “constructive purposes” and if
Japan took part.
Insiders say that this warning was
directed against England's plans to
bolstering Chines* resistance.
Numerous complaints on the qual-
ity of Japanese exports have caus-
ed the Tokyo authorities to set up a
Board of Control which will check
all outgoing goods. Th* board will

ENGLAND—The Gold Mines Ex-
cess Profits Duty Act of 1933 brought
the British Exchequer an attrac-
tive income in that year of high
gol dprices A 52 per cent tax on
the profits of 17 companies netted
£10.225.000 as compared to £3500.-
000 for 1932. A convenient law for
the government—passed at a con-
venient time.
On April 19 the Association of
British Chambers of Commerce had
its annual meeting. Japanese com-
petition and a petition to the gov-
ernment for action was the mam
business. The press helped along
with a broadside of sensational ar-
ticles on the progress of Japanese
trading.

There is but one specific pros-
pect that Texas must be driven to
new exploitation taxes. That is that
the federal government by some

bill should dry up the state’s only

its natural resources. The oil tax.
and later the gasoline tax. make
petroleum the chief source of le-
venue. But the gasoline tax LS a
sales tax. and IS paid by the user
not the producer of oil. The >tate
gets some revenues from sulphur
and some from cement and infin-
itesimal taxes from natural gas—
but after all. oil is the one source of
rnough money to afiect the state*
financial set-up. If that were de-
stroyed by federal control the state
night be forced to a general sales
:ax that would put the chief our-
ien on the food and clothing of tlie
poor; or to a destructive income tax
hat would dry up industry and de-

CHAPTER X
HERE was a big crowd At the
Lebanon station to see Donna
end Bill Arrive. Not ell of them
Admitted thAt was the reason for
their appearance on the depot plat- •
form and innumerable excuses
were invented. But the story of
the tragedy bad made Donna a
heroine end Bill toward whom
many of the local belles bad cast
amorous glances bad become some-
thing of a hero.
Grandfather Siddal was there
bis sightless eyes roving over the
crowd as be sat in the car beside
Nub Planter. Young Doctor Len-
nox and his assistant. Ben Wheeler
were there too. When the train
drew up to the station they sprang
upon the platform and entered the
Pullman. The crowd wide-eyed
watched Donna's descent through
a lowered window and saw old man
Siddal embrace his granddaughter.
There were tears in Donna's eyes
as the make-shtft ambulance rolled
along the road to the farm. They
were not tears of pain for she
scarcely felt the jolts and jars. She
was happy—happier than she had
ever been and each tear waa a
prayer that the might be worthy
of eo much kindness and love.
Against her protest she was giv-
en the first floor room that had
been Grandfather Siddal’s since bis
settling down they want someth Ins
else in a wife. As 1 says U> Mat
tie's Ms the other day in church.
You tell Mattie nut to worry noae
about BilL He’s Jsst harin’ his

Donna’s lips were whits with an-
ger. "Yon aren’t by any chaai|(

“If the shoe fits wear it! Any

Bill does. It’s again’ religion and
law for cousins to marry- Yea
ma’am—again’ religion and Law!”
She wlsked out of the room with
the righteous air of one who had
done a painful duty no matter
what the cost.
Donna’s fist clenched and un-
clenched. Tears of bumlliatloa
streamed down her cheeks

IF SHE really had been Madeline
1 she would hare demanded the
dismissal of the housekeeper but
Donna's own position was too pro-
carious for ber to complain. And
she was not at all sure that Mrs.
Planter did no! suspect some at
the truth and was merely biding
ber time to cause troubla
She was aware that Mrs. Planter
spied on her. that she was not
above steaming letters to read their
contents and that shs would stop
at nothing to marry Grandfather
Siddal. thereby securing his small
fortune.

Bill lifted her gently and placed her m the chair.
tbe room. Donna wondered If It
had belonged to Madeline. Then she
concluded that Madeline’s mother
must have fallen for tbe fad of
French dolls.
There were white shelves con-
taining many books. A white
wicker sewing basket was tilled
with bits of linen and colored silk
thread. Tbe rag rug was pink and
pale blue obviously made at home.
“I never changed anything in
Ada's room” Mrs. Planter said
Her manner toward Donna was
still hostile. The housekeeper made
no attempt to hide the resentment
she felt over the extra labor the
girl’s presence would entail and be-
cause Bill’s return had sent her
son packing.
but be never did. He was always
considerate always kindly but bis
manner toward her never in any
way hinted at more than cousinly
affection.

rtONNA would lie awake staring
^ at tbe star-dotted sky. listen-
ing to tbe myriad of voices that
made musical the night air and
wondering if she could be content
without Bill’s love. Now that she
was ill she could b« satisfied to
see him occasionally or just to bear
his voice but later when health
had returned would the hunger for
his arms his kisses for all that bis
love could offer grow too strong
for her? Could she endure tbe
crumbs be gave her without hope
of more?
Fortunately the brief notea Don-
na received from Madeline couid
have been read by any one. Tba
other girl was so detarminad to
carry on tbs masquerade that it
was unnecessary for Donna to wa'n
ber to be careful when abe wrote.
A light tap on the door made
Donna brush away her tears hasti-
ly and force a smile to her Upa.
The door opened before she could
say. ‘Come In." and Bill's dark
head appeared. He grinned boy-
ishly.
"Awake? That’s Has. I’ve got
s surprise for you.”
The surprise was a wheel chair.
"Aa your physician.” Bill chuckled.

Mrs. Planter mumbled as she hung

wardrobe. Madeline had. with i
much forethought shipped Donna’s !
trunk to her. though before doing
so she had carefully removed the
lettering of Donna’s name. "I’ve
got 10 men to cook for now." Mrs.
Planter went on "and when har-
vest time comes around I won’t
even have time to think—let alone
Fetch and carry for you."
“Heavens!" Donna laughed. "I
don’t expect to be an Invalid that
long. I’ll be helping you."
Mrs. Planter sniffed and Donna
determined to let nothing ruffle

She missed the long afternoons
spent with Bill. Now that be was
back on the farm he seemed to be
busy every moment of the day.
When evening arrived Grandfather
Siddal came to Donna’s room to
iay the prayers after which Bill
read aloud from the Bible. Al-
ways when the old man rose to go
o his room Bill left with him.
Bach evening Donna hoped BUI i

When the housekeeper saw that

did not seem to long lor the arena
