U. S. MAY ACT TO CONSOLIDATE ALL RETAILERS AAA Economist Advances Proposal as Aid for Farmers. By Scrippe-Umeard .V nespaper Alliance WASHINGTON, Oct. 6.—Consolii dation of local retail delivery systems is being suggested here by Mordecai Ezekial. chief economist of j the agricultural adjustment administration. as one way to cut down I costs of distribution so farmers may | receive more of the price consumers pay for their products, i Under NRA codes of fair compe- | tition or marketing agreements approved by AAA, such consolidations would be possible. Mr. Ezekial did not cite the ex- ! ample, but another man high in the | New Deal councils recently pointed ! out to friends that some small re- | tail stores in New York are visited j each day by as many as a dozen bread salesmen. He has also sug- | gested the consolidation of these middlemen delivery systems. He. like Ezekial, realizes that the plans they suggest w’ould throw | some men and women out of jobs. Raises Living Standard “You may feel like saying,” Mr. Ezekial remarked to a group of retail distributors in Boston, “that if we eliminate some of these services all the workers formerly engaged in selling could not be so employed. But is it desirable,” he asked, “that consumers support all the workers in stores as were once engaged in selling? “Might it not be better for all of us if some of the energies previously centered on distribution were devoted instead to production? Might not standards of living be higher all the way around if we so reorganize production and distribution that we again have a large majority of the persons in the country engaged in production and oily a small proportion engaged in transporting and selling?” Supply Is Concentrated The economist at the same time pushed a little farther along the idea if Secretary of Agriculture Henry L. Wallace that eventually, under the new deal, milk might be regarded as a public utility and regulated as such. “As Secretary Wallace already has suggested,” Mr. Ezekial said, “it may be that economic and effective retail distribution of milk can be secured only by making milk a public utility, and then controlling very closely the methods of its distribution. Perhaps eventually we will be forced to regard milk as a public necessity, just as we now do water and gas, and will concentrate its supply and distribution in the hands of a single concern, either under public regulation as a utility, or under direct operation by governmental agencies.” FLORIDA TARPON MAY BE 100 PER CENT NATIVE Two Women Naturalists Discover Evidence of Spawning. Bn Science Service NEW YORK, Oct. 6.—Florida’s famous game fish, the tarpon, may be a 100 per cent native Floridian, and not an immigrant from West Indian waters, as commonly supposed. Evidence for the existence of a tarpon spawning ground in certain brackish water areas around Sanibel island. Lee county, on the gulf coast of Florida, has been sent to the journal Science, published here, by two Florida women naturalists, Margaret Storey and Louise M. Perry. They have found young tarpon in the Sanibel island waters, and they add that fishermen of the locality can net tarpon in early stages of development in a certain brackish water pool on the island. They tried seining this pool and captured infant fish whose scales indicated an age of about one year. Miss Storey and Miss Perry are now trying to find tarpon in still earlier stages of development in the same locality. PAPRIKA ACID FOUND AS CURE FOR SCURVY „ Successful Experiment Reported by Physician in Europe. B.L I Science Service LONDON, Oct. 6.—An acid pre- ! pared from paprika cured a man of j | scurvy when injected into his veins, j it appears from a report by Dr. Poul j Schultzer, president physician of j the Copenhagen municipal hospital,' to The Lancet, medical journal published here. The acid is ascorbic acid. It for- ! merly was known as hexuronic acid and generally is thought to be identical with vitamin C. This is probably the first time it has been used to cure the disease, which results | from lack of vitamin C in the diet. The acid was isolated from plants and from the adrenal gland cortex j by Szent-Gyorgyi. Both he and other investigators in Europe and America have reported its scurvypreventing power in animals.

BOTANICAL GARDEN HURT BY FUND CUT Efficient Workers to Go Under Reduction. Bp Science Service NEW YORK. Oct. 6.—Lack oi funds for continued emergency employment has brought a double misfortune to the New York botanical garden. Twenty-five women- who have had temporary jobs there must be let out, and the garden loses a group of its most efficient workers. About two years ago Dr. Elmer D. Merrill, director, asked the women's work bureau of the emergency unemployment relief committee for half a dozen women workers, experience not necessary. The bureau sent them up and kept them paid and the garden furnished work for them to do. The force was increased. until at one time 132 women were at work. They did all kinds of things; mounted and labeled more than 2,000,000 plant specimens, made out card catalogs, translated from several languages, including the Latvian; housecleaned public exhibition cases that had been gathering dust for years. The depression was a boost for the New York botanical garden. But now funds have failed and the last group of women left on the job have to be dismissed. A large white birch tree can survive removal of a small piece of bark but dies if the wound is large or girdles the trunk.

VOTE SYSTEM CHANGES SEEN ✓ | IN AMENDMENT Proposed Law Would Alter Electoral College Counting. By Scripp*.Howard \rtopaprr Alliance WASHINGTON. Oct. 6.—With the j country in a house-cleaning mood, a group of persistent congressmen ! are determined to secure adoption of another amendment to the Constitution. Like the lame duck amendment, | which becomes part of the law' of the land on Oct. 15. this other is : designed to improve the machinery of democracy rather than the presj ent economic condition of the coun- ! try. It is a remedy which looks to prevention of future crises. This proposed amendment would J abolish the electoral college system of choosing a President and VicePresident and substitute instead a | method of counting which definitej ly reflects the wishes of the voteers. It has been urged for years by Sena- { tor George W. Norris (Rep., Neb.) and Representative Clarence Lea I (Dem., Cal.). Present Tally Inaccurate The present electoral college actually disenfranchises a large pro- ; portion of the popular vote by [ counting all of a state’s electoral j votes for the man receiving a ma—j jority, these two liberals say. For instance, w'hen New York's popular vote was closely divided bej tween Herbert Hoover and Alfred E. Smith its 45 electoral votes were all counted for Hoover and votes | cast for Smith actually were used to swell Hoover's total in the electoral college. The Norris-Lea amendment pro- ; poses that each state shall retain electoral votes but that they shall .be divided among the candidates | according to the proportion of the i popular vote they receive. Reports Favorably on Bill In the Hoover-Smith election, for j instance, Hoover would have been j given 23 of New York's 45 votes and Smith 22. Using this same system throughout the country the final results would have reflected a much closer race between these two candidates than did totals of the electoral college. But Hoover would still have won the national election. The house committee on elections, which has reported the favorably, finds that “As measured by our history the (electoral college) system fails ... to provide that certainty of election and that assurance that the election, when accomplished, accurately reflects the popular will that are essentials of any satisfactory system of electing the head of our nation.”
