A DEFENSE OF THE PARASITE RICH WITH
 zg4 es.aaa A STATEMENT OF THEIR SOCIAL FUNCTIONS

to otlers-wIho have nothing to buy with-the next best thing they can do is to use it themselves.
 If a man owns one of those com plex manufacturing establishments right from natures own workshop. commonly called a hive of bees, the bees may make more honey than they consume. in which case they will fill the hive and quit work. But if the master of the bees consumes the sur plus they will keep on working. Tie distribution of product may not De fair. but it is much better than no work. assuming that during the per tod of glut the bees get no honey, at which points the symbol is defective. though it will answer.
 Let us be charitable, therefore, 70 the parasite rich. Their function is to consume UNINTELLIGENTL what a semi-savage society has not learned to consume INTELLIGENT LY.
The Bridgeport evening farmer., 1912-01-01

The Yale professor who says that sociologists should engage in a study of the parasite rich, merely proposes q task that has been pretty exten- sively conducted by the newspapers, whose reports in extenso of simian dinners, pink pearl necklaces worth half million each. and the like in- cldents have been largely read. But the parasite rich are not half as dan gerous as the predatory rich. Under existing conditions they perform a useful function by delaying periods of glut.
 Every panic is accompanied by the picture of. productive forces 'atstand- still, because more has been made than has been consumed.
 This surplus is invariably in the hands of the well to do classes of the community. and most of it in tho hands Of the very wealthy.

Falls Off Hoodoo Water Wagon And
 Sprains His Back

Catching its wheels in the trolley tracks at Main street and Fairfield avenue yesterday noon a large water wagon which William Fisher of Stan1- ford was driving gave such a sharp lurch that the driver was thrown heavily to the pavement and was painfully injured. The ambulance corps was called and Fisher was taken to St. Vincent's hospital, suf fering from a badly Sprained back.
 The water wagon was the property of Contractor John McNaIly of Stam ford, who leased it during the sum- mer to a contractor in Beacon Falls. MT. McNally has had an extra aordi- nary run of bad luck in attempting to get the wagon back home. First he tried to tow it with a motor truck, but that started 8. runaway and an injunction was prayed out against him to prevent his repeating the ex- pertinent. Then he sent a. team of horses after it, and one of the horses was killed by a, railroad train. Yes terday was his last experiment. and it resulted as stated
 Daniel Merritt, son of the con tractor, brought the hoodoo to an end yesterday by completing the wa ter wagons journey

RUNNING WITHOUT
 GASOLINE
New York Man on 126 Mile Trip Exhausts Gasolene Supply and Acetylene Successfully Furnishes the Power.

Nyack, N. r., Jan. Paul Lagget, the Nyack automobile authority, made a discovery that is of interest. to every motoTtst- who has been "up against it. after he has exhausted his gasolihe supply miles from a garage.
 MT. Legget has found the acetylene gas, while not nearly as powerful as gasoline, is equally efficient in ooerat- ing a car. The discovery saved him from being stalled miles from a gar age and cons Etutes a good tip to the country's motorists.
 He was driving from Nyack, N r., 10 Chatham, N. Y., a distance of 126 miles While between Kingston and Satskiu, on the west bank of the Hudson river, he ran out of gasoline several miles from the nearest pace where any could be secured As there were no telephones any nearer than the gasoline. he started the car with the self-starter and left the gas from the acetylene tank on the dash board of the car turned on about one third of the way around. Then he ran several miles up and down h. using only acetylene gas for power until he arrived near a church which carried the only supply af gasoline in that vicinity. He made the run of 126 miles in four and one-half hours, which included time spent on two fer ries at Rhinecliff and Roundout and cne-half an hour waiting for one of the ferries
 Recently in Detroit, automobile en- gineers pronounced acetylene too weak combustib-e' to compete with gaso line as a source of engine power, MT. Legget's performance to the contrary, notwithstanding.'

SOME. REASONS WHY THE COST OF
 LIVING IS HIGHER IN AMERICA

The American Economic Associa- don at it's meeting in Washington suggested the advisabalfty, of a com r1ission to look into the high cost of living. The phenomenons Of rising prieassis worldwide; but nowhere else manffests in the exaggerated form it assDmes in this country.
 Tn most European nations munich pal ownership projects are largely developed, and cooperation is much more extensively adopted.
 The price of gas in English cities will range. in tte neighborhood of 70 cents a thousand feet, against an average price of sf in this country. Street car transportation Is about a third as high. These are typical in stances. The sum of many such items represents quite a difference.
 The progress Of municipal owner ship in this country is retarded by the skiIlfully promoted claim of pub lie service owners that the graft talk en by politicians under public owner ship would be greater than their own extortionate profits, an assertion that will not bear skilled inspection.
 Cases in point are the ownership of water. in Hartford and the ownership Of electric light in South NorwalIz. Hartford sells water 10 it's consumers cheaper than the private company in Bridgeport does and Thakes a large annual, profit. which belongs to the

HIGH COST OF LIVING
How the Trust System Af- fleets It-Profits on Wa
 tered Stock
tBy c. H. Tavenner. special Washing

ADS 0- ldVGHuGIs 0pSCldI w dSnAilS
 ton Correspondent of The Farmer.) Washington, Jan 1.-Fol1owing all
 most on the heels of statements by various trust magnateS that the pres ent high cost of living is not due to trust control of industry, comes the testimony of Albert H. Veeder, for merly an attorney for the beef trust, who admitted on the witness stand at the packers trial in Chicago that he had drawn up contract by which the packers proposed to sell $591, ,00O, 900 worth of watered stock to the pub lie.
 This contract, MT. Veeder testified, was drawn in 1902. and by its terms the plants of the Armour. Swift and Morris companies were to be consoli- dated The contract showed that while the actual capital of the three concerns, on a liberal estimate, was not more than $1s2, ,000, ,0O0. the new company was to be capitalized at
 This particular trust scheme did not go through. Because of the money stringency that year the packers were unable to borrow $90,O0O.Oo0 of New York bankers, and as a consequence the plan was abandoned. Another contract was drawn up for new or ganization, and 1t is charged by the this organization, violated the Sher- man law It is on this charge that they are now being tried Just how
 much watered stock the beef men did finally sell to the public is expected to be disclosed before the trial is over.
 MT. Veeder's testimony throws light on the methods of the trust magnates, and it is not unreasonable to assume that other trusts did just as the beef trust did The packers have never been accused of being more greedy than. the steel magnates, or the wool trust owners, or the owners of any of the big trusts. Common belief places them all in the same class. They borrowed money from the same banks, and the same lawyers helped them all to organize. It is not un- reasonable to assume therefore that their methods were identical
 Democratic leaders in Congress have made the statementf over and over again that the people of the coun- try are paying dividends. fn the form of high prices, upon millions and mil lions of watered stock. They have also pointed out that nothing has so alarmed the trusts as the proposal to find out, through government author ity, just what their real assets are.s The trusts propose to fight this pro- posal to the last ditch, and their req son is not far to seek when such evil dence as that offered by MT. yeeder Is at hand.
 1 MT. Taft and his followers have stated that the cure for such prac- tices Is to divide the watered stock into several parts, but not to do away with it. The Democratic program, as announced by the House leaders, calls for the squeezing of this water out of the trust capitalization.

 Norwalk operates its electric plant with great benefits to itself and n complete refutation of the graft scandals.
 Graft in fact has been reduced to a minimum in the government of ordinary cities. There is some graft remaining to be sure, but the hot beds of graft are in the great cor- porations.
 The reason is that human nature is the same. The officers, of great corporations have as large an incen- tive to rob the stockholders as puo- lie servants have to defraud the peo- pie.
 And the stockholders of great American corporations. strange as it may seem to the uninformed. are not as attentive to their own interests as are the voters in city. -
