When the government has
confiscated all the large indus
tries, the rich mems sources of
revenue will be gone. Then
they will be poor. We shall
start this scheme without any
rich people-and therefore
there will be no one to pay the
taxes.
So all industry will run at a
loss, like the railroads. without
any one making up the deficit.
They actually worked this
scheme out in Hungary, and APP
portioned the incomes which
the individual members of the
population were to draw-find-
ing out afterwards that the ag-
gregate of the incomes was
four times the total producing
power of the country. The
Chinaman who burned down
his house to roast a pig was al
most intelligent compared with
some of US.
But" you may say, why
should government always run
industry at a loss?" All, why
indeed? But it does. Gov
ernments are composed of plat
form rhetoricians. monologists,
lawyers and pamphleteers-
not of chemists, or engineers,
or manufacturers.
Well, let US leave enough
rich people in existence to pay
the taxes. How rich shall we
let them be? Oh, just rich
enough to dig up the money for
taxation. But no one would
consent to be rich on those
terms; they would have the
labor of filling up tax-forms,
and get nothing for it. No one
who has done that job will
want to do it gratis.

PERFECTLY SIMPLE.

There is a constantly grow
ing feeling among our fellow
citizens that the government
ought to run most of our staple
industries-if necessary, at a
loss, and make up the deficit
out of taxation. And when in
vited to reveal who is to be tax
ed to pay the deficit. they al
ways say the same thing: 1.-THE
rich"
Just exactly what constitutes
the rich is a thing vaguely I'M
derstood. They are generally
supposed to be people with tons
Of currency hidden somewhere.
1t is surprising how few people
there are whose mental pro-
cesses surpass those of a six
year-Old. There are far more
people in this grade than you
may think.
A man is rich if he has cred
its by virtue of which he draws
large revenues from certain in
dustries. Very often he does
not own the industries, but is
one of the bondholders. As a
rule, he has very little cur
rency. There h no sense in

FOR THE DEVIL OF IT,,

AS production diminishes,
scarcity grows. And then the
law of supply and demand gets
to work. When supply dimin-
ishes. demand grows. So prices
rise.
Whenever a body of work
men dislike the prices of COM
modities, they strike for more
pay, and production diminish
es. So prices rise still higher.
The grievance which the strike
was to cure is only intensified
by the strike. The medicine
makes the patient worse. 1t
seems hard work, but the pa
tient is partly to blame.
A carpenters local in a mid
die western city struck for 81.
an hour. They were offered
80 l-2 cents an hour, but refus-
ed it. The strike dragged on,
and finally large number OF
the carpenters went to the
chief town of an adjoining
state, where the union scale
was 80 cents an hour, and
worked for a dollar a day less
than they were offered at home
although it cost them more to
live in their new surroundings

BOARDING OF SUGAR
LAID TO DEALERS.
Confectioners Deny Big In
crease in Candy Making Has
Consumed Supply
MANY FAMILIES CUT SHORT

Sugar boarding by the big wholesalers
was pointed out today as the possible
reason for the present shortage by
James r. Walker, secretary of the Re-
tail Confectioners' Association.
At the same time he denied that the
shortage could be laid at the door Of
the confectioners because of increased
consumption Of sugar since wartime
prohibition went into effect. There has
been no material increase in candy max
ing since then, he said.
The wholesalers, he explained, may
be boarding the sugar until after Janu-
sry /, when the powers Of the equali
gation board of the United States food
administration automatically come to an
end.
When the equalization board goes
out Of business on January 1 next
there will be no governmental super
vision over the sale and handling of
sugar. Should any combination of
wholesalers manage to obtain large
stocks they would be able to boost
prices.
Local wholesalers, however, say that
there is no reason why sugar should
be sold at more than eleven cents per
pound and that with the exercise of
ordinary conservation there will be no
famine.
As far as could be learned yesterday,
- 81 euror s,,pr1tos othor TIM n
the amount usually received in the city,
came in over the week end, and grocers
do not look for any immediate relief.
The majority of retailers will continue
to adhere to their rule of supplying
only two pounds to each regular custo-
mer. In order to prevent people going
from store to store and buying sugar
at each, grocers are determined to en-
force their rule that provides for the
purchase of at least one dollars worth
Of groceries by casual customers before
any sugar can be bought.
Agents of the Department of Justice,
acting under instructions from Todd
Daniel and Francis Fisher Kane,
United States district attorney, are
making sweeping investigation into
the situation with a view to determin =
ing If any violation of the law is re-
spopsible for the shortage.
While some of the larger retail stores
are able to supply their customers with
moderate quantities, the shortage is ex-
tremely acute in the congested areas
Of the city. In these districts house
wives are in the custom of making their
weeks purchases of groceries on Sat
urday night, and in thousands of cases
when they went to buy their supplies
on Saturday they found they were un-
able to obtain any sugar.

PINK TIE HAS ITS USES,
EVEN FOR CLERGYNEN
Minister, Caniouaged Behind One, Is admitted Saloons
Where He Seeks Information- Probes in Dry Belt

Should a minister OF the church wear
pink necktie?
Some Philadelphia clergymen of the
Episcopal faith are inclined to believe
with the Rev. DR.. James Empringham,
national superintendent of the Episco-
pal Church Temperance Society, who
presents this question, that the pink
'nccktie has its uses, even for clergy
men.
Local ministers have slightly diff
ferent feeling about it than those in
New York.
1--WE in Philadelphia, said the Rev.
Llewellyn n. Galley, rector of st. Jude
and the Nativity Church, "are, in
general, more careful about wearing the
garb of our profession. I believe that
we should wear it most of the time.
though ! can understand that in some
cases the pink necktie, as Doctor En-
pringham denotes the citizens dress,
has the advantage.
The crux of the matter, according to
Doctor Empringham, is that the prob
lem is not sartorial at all, but one Of
the practical results which may lie
achieved under cover of n pink neck
tie. He contends that it is moral and
altogether justifsble for man of the
cloth seeking information which he
might not obtain in his proper person.
to camoufiage himself behind pink
necktie.
Fettered by his conventional collar,
what chance has clergyman of tap
ping the fountains of information that
ceaselessly flow in a saloon? That is
the question Doctor Empringham asks.
A pink necktie admits a man to the
bar, and the ministers feel that in
saloon, as In no other place, the pulse
of humanity may be felt. 1t Is init
mated that in Philadelphia as we'll as in
New York ministers in pink neck
ties have been making some researches
in the "dry belt' to see what prohibi-
tion is doing. The data is being used in
the nation wi6e Every Name campaign
of the Episcopal Church.
This general movement is intended
to master the full resources of the
church for national service. Specifi
cally. one of its objects is to devise a
substitute for the saloon. Hence,
Doctor Empringham and the pink
necktie."
People are saying" he says, "that
prohibition has made no difference in
the. liquor business. That estimate is
false. In the first place, prohibition.
in my experience, has made it much
more difficult to buy soft drink over
the bar. Before July 1 I never ex-
perienced difficulty in getting a non
alcoholic beverage in any saloon except,
perhaps, in some of the dry states
If called for ginger ale or birch beer,

DOG MESSENGER MAN OUT
w. 3. Evans Quits as Postmaster at
Yeadon, Delaware County

William B. Evans, postmaster at
Yeadon, Delaware county, who organ
lied the only dog messenger mail ,serv-
ice in Pennsylvania, has resigned from
the government service.
Mr.. Evans's dog messenger service
was not officially recognized by the
government, but to Delaware county
folk between the postofiices and Fern
wood station was an established part
of the mail service.
The two dogs saw many years serv-
ice as mail carriers and although they
were pets of children in Neadon and
vicinity they invariably displayed an
efficient resentment against all persons
who interfered with them while they
were on duty.
A wear ago one of the animals died.
His companion apparently grieved con
tinually over his loss and few months
later the death of the second dog robbed
Yeadon of it's unusual mail messenger

And. moreover adds Doctor En-
pringham, prohibition also has
changed the conversational atmosphere
of the saloon. In place of baseball. the
latest prize fight or the ponies the
conversation now generally takes a
theological turn, which is to say the
saloon frequenters spend their time de
nouncing the church and religion for
having brought the condition or state
