TOTWISE CLASS LEGISLA-
TION
The mania for regulating
■ererylxxiy continues to ex-
hibit itself. Among most re-
cent bills introduced into the
Texas legislature is one which
•would prohibit the advertis-
ing of prices for eye-glasses.
It would aonfine advertising
to what is known as “educa-
tional or institutional” copy. las Dispatch-Journal.
Dominating spire of beauty in the Gayway at the California
World’s Fair is this six story pagoda in the $1,200,000 Chinese
Village concession, a walied city of more than 4 acres of beaut}
and the charm of Old Cathay.
1 ~"NoW, we see no reason why
an optometrist or a firm of
optometrsts should not have
as much right to advertise
ttoeir prices as a furniture
store or a grocery store. The
■service which is rendered is i
dependent wholly upon the
character of the individual
and cannot be made a matter
of legislation, except that
there are general statutes
which cover fraud and mis-
representation, but the ad-
vertising of prices is in itself
a measure of protection to the
public against fraud. And it
is the customer’s privilege
to seek service from whom
he pleases with knowledge of
knowing what it is going to
cost before he enters the
door.
Such restrictions by legis-
lation as are proposed could
have only one tendency, and
that is to make easier the
charging of higher prices.
Any restriction on price pub-
lication is a restraint on com-
-peitition which is the life of
business.
How very far this tendency , . t , Wi , • ht
to regulate and rstrict is be- iestnct the public s lights.
Miost all of these bills are
sponsored for selfish pur-
poses which are not for the
public’s best interest. They
would not only circumscribe
our privileges as citizens but
would enable classes to exact
more for their services than
is fair, according to prices in
competitive fields. It is a
violation of the law for an
unlicensed optometrist to fit
glasses on you, however you
might prefer his services, and
the restrictions enable mem-
bers to raise the price of
glasses. Dentists through
their organization have re-
stricted advertising so qual-
ity or prices may not be ad-
vertised and thus prevent
the public learning where
lower prices prevail. The bar-
bers would now set the price
of their services by law. We
hope the legislature will not
only reject all these bills but
will repeal others bhiat tend
ing carried was revealed
Thursday by the Dispatch-
Journal’s Austin correspond-
ent who pointed out that
there a e now bills before the

ulate these classes; naturo-

many instances, as the corre- j

who require too much inter-

It is hoped Delta County Wild
Life Committee will be in po-
sition to assure the commis-

county to warrant placing
some of these quail in Delta
County. Quail destroy in-

Thirty-eight cardinals are
enroute to Rome to select -a
successor to Pope Pius, three
of whom are from the United
States. Five from Germany
have instructions from Hit-
ler, it is reported, to select a
Pope moire friendly to Ger-
many. Tihe late Pope strong-
ly favored the revolution
Italy and Germany sponsored
in Spain and he never lifted
his voice against Italy’s rape
Ethiopia, but he did condemn
Hitler s regime when it per-
secuted the churahes and non-
Aryan races. Certainly demo-
cracies cannot hope for sym-
pathy from a Pope.

Hundreds of thousands of boys
and young men read THE AMER
TCAN BOY Magazine every
month and consider it more as a
living companion than as a mag-
azine.
“It’s as much a buddy to me as
my neighborhood chum,” writes
one high school senior. “THE
AMERICAN BOY seems to un-
derstand a boy’s problems and
considers them in such a sympa-
thetic and helpful way. It gives
advice and entertaining reading
on every subject in which a young
fellow is interested. It is parti-
cularly helpful in sports. I made
our school basketball team be-
cause of playing tips I read in
THE AMERICAN BOY.”
Many famous athletes in all
sports credit much of their sue
cess to helpful suggestions re-
ceived from sports articles car-
ried in THE AMERICAN BOY
Magazine. Virtually every issue
offers advice from a famous
coach or player. Football, bask-
etball, track, tennis, in fact every
major sport is covered in fiction
and fact articles.
Teachers, librarians, parent 4
a,nd leaders of boys clubs also
recommend THE AMERICAN
BOY enthusiastically. They have
found that as a general rule re-
gular readers of THE AMERI-
CAN BOY advance more rapidly
end develop more worthwhile
characteristics than do boys who
do not read it.
Trained writers and artists,
famous coaches and athletes, ex-
plorers, scientists and men suc-
cessful in business and industry
join with an experienced staff to
produce in THE AMERICAN
BOY, the sort of reading matter
boys like best.
