MUSICAL ACT Is BEST
ON UNIQUE'S NEW BILL

One of the most enjoyable turns on the
new bill at the Unique which opened last
night was the trick piano playing of
Kennedy and Vincent. These two per-
formers introduced a number of clever
limitations that fully sustained the repu-
tation they have already earned on east
ern circuits.
The Hebrew comedian, Murray J..
Simons, was also on the list with a
laughable sketch, featuring some skillfuI
dancing and a couple of comic songs.
Gordon and Chacon, in the l--.rd olio act,
made a hit with their eccentric dancing.
The Unique Comedy company presented
1.-THE Wrong Flat" by Richard Cum
mings, a farce comedy brimful of humor-
Gus situations and bright dialogue. Tracy
McDermott sang the illustrated songs and
the performance concluded with three
imported films on the Unique-O O-Scope.

OCEAN PARK, Aug. 26.-Leaders In
the disincorporation movement are
elated at an opinion rendered by At
torney John D. Pope of Los Angeles,
representing the Venice chamber OF
commerce, on the question of the city
parks and other public property re-
verting to the donors should the cleo
tion on September 80 carry.
After stating that all of the streets
are public highways and must remain
as such regardless of the effect of the
election, the attorney says:
Property which the city has &C
uuired will not revert to the former
owners but will be held and controlled
by the supervisors for the benefit OF
the people until taken over by the new
city to be incorporated"
Further on in his opinion Mr.. Pope
takes up the matter Of the violation OF
the conditions of trust under which the
ocean frontage was conveyed to the
city and says that "the disincorpora-
ton of the city would not violate any
of those conditions
In conclusion Mr.. Pope advises the
trade organizations to treat every
suggestion that public property would
be forfeited or the public interest put
in jeopardy by disincorporation as a
false alarm. There is nothing what
ever in it, and the question of disin-
corporation should be determined by
the people without the least apprehen
sion of the loss of any right in case
the vote of the electors is in favor of
disincorporation."

The Orpheum hung out a new electric

1t is the best program in a year.

and rode Peaches triumphantly to vic

wishes John Henry to back with the
thousand dollars that John Henry has
saved to make the last payment on the
bungalow. But John Henry is firm in
his adherence to the promise he made
his fiancee, also Peaches, not to bet again
that is, he is firm until he overhears
his future father-in-law teiephoning to
stockbroker. The old gentleman's ruin
is in sight unless he gets $4,000 into the

The old man Is saved-but he doesn't

Peaches to her lover. But Peaches will
hear no explanation.

PUBLIC OWNERSHIP OF RAIL
WAYS IN EUROPE.
VII. France.
(For The Public.)

In France the railway situation
has i'll certain respects a similarity
to that of the United States. The
greater part of the railways are in
private hands, and through combina-
tions, not unknown to American
railway finance, the bulk of the pri-
vate roads are owned by six large
companies, which have fully as COM
plete monopoly in the sections of
the country where they operate as
any American railway company has
at any time had. However, the gov
ernment has from time to time taken
measures to acquire the railway sys-
tenn, or parts Of it, and this has
greatly increased the willingness of
the companies to give good service
for reasonable price. The passen-
ger accommodations Of the French
railways are admitted to be inferior
to those of Germany and the Scan
dinavian countries, another example
of the principle that private compa.
MES holding railway monopolies will
not keep up to the highest possible
standard unless forced to do so. One
of the railway companies in France
does give comparatively good SER
vice, but the charges are higher than
on the State railways in most Euro
pean countries.
In 1900 the French government
owned 1900 miles Of railway, and
private corporations owned 24,97O
miles. Of the latter mileage, 2l,0OO
miles come on the six large compa~
MES.
The ticket rates in France were
until 1892 notably high, except on
the state railways, which in 1881
adopted cheaper rate, with pre-
portionately lessening fares for long
distances. The State railways also
at that time introduced the system
Of forty per cent reduction on re-
turn tickets when the return trip was
made within a limited period. AS
mentioned, it took the private COM
panies another eleven years to be-
come ready for reduction. The re-
duction, however, is not so great as
to make the fares as low as on the
Watson's weekly Jeffersonian., 1907-09-26


crying for redress, victims of legis-
lative injustice demanding relief. That
a President of the United States
should be blind to so many self-evi-
dent conditions, deaf to so many
sounds of suffering, and should go
out of his way to strike at the Green
back currency is fact to cause as
tonishment.
What harm is the Greenback doing
to anybodyq What evil has it ever
wroughtq
The approval Of Lincoln gave it
life; the soldier who fought for the
Union, when Roosevelt was In the
cradle, was paid with it; the Union
armies were fed and clothed with it
when gold had run off and hid. The
Greenback saved the Government in
its hour Of need, and it has done good
each day of its life ever since. IF
we had five times as much of it as
now exists, the country would be
twice as well off.
Who is it that hates the Greenback?
The National Banker.
Whyq
Because the National Banker would
like to have the monopoly of supply
ing the paper currency. The Govern
ment circulates $346,OOO,OOO Green
backs; the National Banker circulates
$4OO,O0O,OOO of his own notes.
The bank notes earn compound in
terest for the banker; the Greenbacks
earn no interest at all. Therefore,
they compete with the notes Of the
banker. They interfere with his busi-
ness. AS long as they exist, he has
no absolute monopoly.
Therefore what?
The National Banker hates the
Greenhack just as the Standard Oil
detests the independent companies
For the same reason which moves the
Coal Barons, the Beef Trust and the
Tobacco Trust to wage relentless war
upon the independent dealer, the
money power demands the suppress
sion Of the Greenback. If the Ma
tional Bankers can destroy the Green
back, they can fill its place with
their own notes. Loaned out at law
full interest, compounded at the US
ual periods, they will wiring from the
people a yearly tribute Of nearly thir-
ty million dollars. In other words,
the country now gets Greenbacks free
of charge, whereas the bank-notes to
replace them will cost $30,000,0O0 per
annum. [ can see how this will ben
eft the bankers; but whom else will
it benefit
One of the strangest hallucinations
that ever entered the legislative mind
is that bankers note, based on ma
tional credit, is good, safe, sane cur
rency, while the Government own
note, based on national credit, is un-
safe, unsound and not to be tolerat-
ed. The first legislators who say
the thing that way were probably
Watson's weekly Jeffersonian., 1907-09-26
THE GREEVBACKG

up press, stamps note and issues
it as currency the banker howls "Rag
Money!" The subsidized editor takes
up the dismal refrain, the timber
kneed politician tunes his mouth to
the echo, the wise men Of the acad-
emy quit gerund-grinding to talk
finance, and with one accord the or
thodox repeat the jeer of "Rag
Money" "Rag Baby" and "Dis-
honest Dollar" until the Govern
ment lets the banker take the pa
per, the press, the stamp, and issue
the notes as his own! Then it is all
right. The EDITORS soul is soothed;
the politician purrs with satisfaction,
the savant Of the academy returns
to his Greeks and Romans. All is
well. The bankers issue their cur
rency, grow fat on usury, and the
principles of high finance are vindi-
Gated. The paper currency of the
Government is ''Rag Baby; the
paper money of the National Bank
er is "Sound Money"
So, we let the bankers exploit a
governmental function to their i'm
mense profit, when the Government
could use the function itself, to the
injury Of nobody, and to the vast
benefit of the people at large. But if
the Government did this thing, the Ma
tional Banker would lose his special
privilege, his unjust advantage, his
huge gains.
Hence, he not only refuses to per-
nit the Government to supply the
country with any more Greenbacks,
but he demands the destruction of
those already outstanding. I regret
to see President Roosevelt lending
himself to this wicked proposition.
Cleveland, during the whole time
he was in Office, was hostile to the
Greenbacks and recommended that
they be destroyed. Nobody was sur
pr1sed at this. In fact, Cleveland
had exhausted the capacity Of hon
est men to be surprised.
But the country hoped for better
things from Mr.. Roosevelt. He was
thought to be too strong man to be
the blind tool of the National Bank
ers.
The Greenback is hurting nobody,
is doing great good; its only enemy
is the National Banker, whose mo-
tive is sordidly selfish. Let the
Greenback alone!
If the President will take the trou-
BILE to study for himself the fnan-
cial statements issued by his own
subordinates, he will discover state
Of things which would otherwise be
incredible.
He will find that the bankers are
drawing compound interest on more
money than there is in existence!
He will find that they reap usurious
revenues from three times as much
money as there is in actual circula-
tion!
He will find that they have drawn
