The Tobacco Growers' Case.
Judge Maltbic 'in the Superior
court at Iiartford has set aside the
injunction sought by the Connecticut
Valley Tobacco Growers' association
against one of its members who mar-
keted his crop through Outside
sources. despite a contract to market
exclusively through the ecooperative
society for a term of years. In this
particular case the validity of the
contract between the association and
its members was not in any way
questioned. But the member at odds
had turned his farm over to his wife
who. not being a member of the as.
sociation. had marketed the crop
elsewhere.
The Connecticut Valley Tobacco
growers challenged the good faith of
this transfer from husband to wife.
but the court evidently considered it
a genuine transaction and not merely
a scheme fo revasion of contract. If
this decision stands. it will be a ser-
ious blo t othe co-operstivo pro-
.ieet. for obviously a similar course
may be followed by any member
with a mind to market outside. and
the Association will have the burden
of-proving that the individual in each
case acted with improper.motives.
Obviously I. tie-operative association
cannot endure if those wso contract
to market through it are free to step
outside when they think they see a.
better opportunity.
It the decision in this case becomes
a precedent it“ is evident that asso-
ciations such as the Connecticut Vai-
ley Tobacco Grow must strength-
en their contract bly by a. form
of lease between the owner of the
land and the annotation. so that the
lease itself must go with the land
even if the farm is sold or trans-
ferred.

useful conveyance that can be

at present one-quarter as much in
America as in Vienna. The Amer-
icans. however. are not so short
sighted, as to call the automobile a
luxury. and though all sorts of an-
noyances and taxes. brand this use-
ful conveyance a privilege of boot-
loggers in necessities."
Herr Popper devoted consideiuble
space to describing and praising
American railroads. telephone serv-
ice. postal facilities and taxicab!
even declaring that "the chauffeurs
drive very carefully, being held to
strict accountability by the local
authorities if they fail to do so "
He concluded his American impres-
sions as follows:
“All this is only made possible by
iron discipline. combined with the
greatest politeness. Everybody says
‘Please’ when he asks for anything.

Stfiense. It even goes so far that. for

panies strive to see whose employees
are the most polite. In the cars
there are placards recommending
politeness and men at once give up
their seats when women enter. This
where. among all classes of the pop-
ulation. be they workers or bank
magnatos. There is no doubt that
today America is much politer tin-.3”

one see how greatly we have been

"It would be entirely wrong, bow-

American economic conditions to
the supposition that in America the
laws are better. the Constitution
better. or that industry is better per
30. Far from it. The sole and real
reason why things are better .1n
America than with us is just A):-
cause people there have enough to
cat. But even this is not the final
cause. but result of the fact that
the United States is very thinly pop-
ulated. considering’ its enormous ex-
panse of territory and its vast na-
tural resources. so that more of the
natural wealth of the country coma—s
to the individual than is possible 1:1
a small country with less natural re-
sources. but far more thickly pop-
ulated.
“Therefore, the struggle for ex-
istence of the individual in America
is easier. With less aflort greater
results arc. attained; positions are
easier to get. The steady and rapii
increase in population, with its so-
companying increasevin needs. forms
an over-growing held for the dispos-
al of all products. The man who
works seed the results of his labor
much sooner than in Europe and.
consequently. everybody hustles rm-
work in order to obtain for himself
some of the available wealth as
duickly as possible.
”Consequently. there is no sense
in wishing to try to imitate the
Americans in everything. for the
very nature of things makes this im-
possiblc. because the use at the
same means under entirely different
preliminary conditions cannot yield
the same results. Only when the
density of population in. the United
States approaches that of Europe

What kind of an investigation is
going to be made? Will it be a per-
tunctory one. in which dozens. if not
hundreds. of unqualified doctors will
be permitted'to slip through the fin—
gers of investigators and retu n to
a practice that is for or should be it-
legal?
The survey should include every
individual that is practicing medi-
cine in Missouri.
The doctors that: are properly
qualified to practice will not be hurt
by the investigation, and those that
are not. should be routed out. _ It is
up to the state medical societies to
eo-opeute in every‘way with this
investigation.

It is by no means the belief of
this newspaper that only doctors
should be licensed who are recog-
nized by the American Medical As-
sociation. On the contrary. The
Star believes that many at theft-ac-
tices, of some doctors reorganized
by that worthy body. are so ridiéu~
loos and obsolete that it is to be
wondered that they are tolerated by
petiole in general.

The bill vetoed by the late Presi—
dent Harding September 19. 1922
was practically the sane as the one
to be presented. discussed and
fought over in this Congress. its
main provisions are:
Each veteran will have the right
to avail himself of any one (but
only one) of the following plans:
:1. To receive adjusted ervice pay
——81.25 for each day 0 overseas
service and 81 a day for elicit day of
home service: but the amount of
credit must not exceed‘ 0500 for
home service and 8025 for overseas
service. This service must have
been performed between April 5.
1917 and July 1. 1919.
Overseas service means service on
shore in Europe or Asia. excluding
China. Japan and the Philippines
and service afloat.
Adjusted service does not apply
to certain commissioned officers
above captain in the army. lieuten-
ant in the navy and a few others. .
2. To receive an "adjusted ser-
vice certificate" which means his
adjusted service cerdit plus :5 per
cent.. plus interest thereon for 20
years at 4 1-: per cent. per annum
compounded annually. The veteran
may name a beneficiary. and may
change it. The amount it the face
value shall be paid to the veteran in
20 years or ‘to the beneficiary.
the veteran's estate. _
A loan may be made on the certifi-
cate at any national bank or trust
company or at any postomce of the
first or second class. at not in excess
by two per cent. of the discount
rate charged by the. Federal Re—
serve banks. _
a. To receive vocational training
aid. The. director of the Vetemnl‘
Bureau shall pay to the Veteran
$1.76 for each day of his attendance
on a course of vocational training.
but the total payment must not ex-
ceed 140 per cent. of the adjusted
service.
4. To receive farm or home aid.
The Secretary of the Interior shall
pay to the veteran .in one payment
or in installments. an amount equal
to his adjusted service credit plus
25 per cent. Such payments shall
be only to enable the veteran to
make improvements on a home or
purchase or make payments on a
home or farm. or to pay of! an in-
debtodness.
In his veto message the late Prek
ident Harding said: "The cost is
not definitely known. The Treasury
estimates figure the direct cost. at
