FAVOR CANDY BOYCOTT TO
 BRING DOWN PRICES

New York, April 24.-A months boycott of candy, soda water and pas try was advocated today by Edwin J. O'Malley, city commissioner of public markets, to relieve the sugar short age and bring down prices.
 He said lack of sugar for home con- sumption was due primarily to enor- nous consumption by manufacturers who had obtained control of the sup ply. 4 boycott, he contended. would make them release part of their hold ings for public purchase.
 To show alleged profits in candy, he quoted from a circular sent out by a corporation that is selling stock. The circular said that for chocolates sold at 80 cents to S1 a pound the cost of production was a little more than % cents.
 There is plenty of sugar." MT. O'Malley asserted, "but under a sys- tenn of unregulated private control of the necessities of life, the public mar kets were stripped bare of sugar."
 MT. O'Malley today received a letter from Secretary Humility saying that he would bring to the attention of the president immediately MT. O'Malley's request that "a board be appointed to

In The Interest Of The Patient

Among numerous suggestions that have reached Washington in the in terests of the public health is a pro- posal to compel physicians and drug gists to use the English language on prescriptions and on bottle labels. The number of "dope fends" that have contracted the drug habit through taking medicines that would have been refused had the patient known what was being fed to him, is point ed out as one of the very good req sons why Latin on the doctors dope sheet should be treated to the same kind of communication that has been furnished German in most of the public schools It seems that this is sue has assumed importance in some Of the legislatures in the Western States. where t is contended that the patient has as much right to know aaeet the contents of the medicine cabinet though i5 EaH cataloeuaa

Investments Must Pay Returns

Since the whole American public broke into the investment class, 2 there has come a better understanding of what $ meant by the interest re- turns on stocks and bonds. Liberty bonds are teetering between S86 and !$9S, and the purchasers know that the reason exists in the amount that they will earn for invested capital. The railroad situation in the United States is emphasized by these two conditions.
 With an increase of less than two per cent in locomotives and cars over live years ago, the railroads of the country are now moving about 50 per cent more traffic than they were then. But the limit in operating efficiency has apparently been reached, for in the last two years despite every ef-
The Carlisle independent., 1920-04-29

fort the amount Of freight traffic ac- taally moved has seldom run two per cent above that moved in 1917.
 The situation reflected by these facts is full of menace to every man, woman and child in the country. h. creased production is vitally needed and we can not have increased pro- duetion without increased transporta- tion. That is self-evident In fact, no permanent reduction in the high cost of living can be obtained without an increase of transportation by rail- road, since almost every commodity produced and consumed in the United States in any considerable quantity must be moved once or more by rail, either as raw material, as a finished product or both. Moreover our popu- lation is growing and will continue to grow. If the railroads cannot move any more freight than they have been doing in the past four years they must either increase their facilities or industry will be throttled and invest OTIS will fail to earn adequate return on invested capital. This latter con- tingency means nationwide bank ruptcy, business depression, wide spread unemployment.
 The logical conclusion is that it is essential to every class of the people of this country that there shall be an early and large expansion of the fa- cilities of the railroads. This can on- iy be accomplished by the investment of vast amounts of new capital, which in turn can only be provided by the government or secured in the ordi- nary way-that is by the sale of rail- road bonds and stocks to the pubic
 The public has decided that govern ment management is not a desirable policy. Therefore it is up to private management to finance the needed ex- tensions. There is one thing only which will enable the railroad compa- nies to raise the billions of capital that they need by the sale of stocks and boads-and that is, net operating income sufficient to make investment iq their securities attractive to those Who have money to invest in stocks and bonds.

How Would You Like 10 Be the Gas
 MaD2


 Added 10 conditions that have be- cone SC common that We are apt to refer to them as natural" is the
 fact that Jhe business of producing iiiaa mating gas is ia direct compe- s5efau Wlt between six and seven mil lion American automobiles that ale engaged in using gasoline. with the result that 100000 barrels were ased in 1919 as compared to 8,500,- 900 in 1918 And just keep your eyes peeled for the 1920 score sheet.
 During the last ten years the in crease in the demand for petroleum products has increased 560 per cent, and during the same period the pro- duction of crude oil in the United States has increased only 95 per cent. All phases of the oil refining indus try have been affected; but, of course, the biggest demand has been for mo- tor gasoline.
 To "both eat your cake and have your cake" is as difficult as it is for the country to keep up with the de- mand for oil and petroleum products. Gas oil is one of the distillates of crude oil, and seventy per cent of the artificial gas produced in the coun- try is made in processes which re- quire the annual use of about 28,000- GOO barrels of gas oil. With the gas industry trailing along as the tail of the gas-eatinE -agtonobile-doe, while attempting to nish the naces s1tiaa Of life competition to plea sute-cara 8. t Hill be seen Shat the eas man is in pretty bad pledicament.
 illuminating gas must go in price, even though the processes of fran chises and old-hargains with city gov ernments are hard to disturb-for while the public usually gives in inch by inch to it's utilities, it will not see them bust" or put in so bad hole that they have to resort to that other alternative of "poor gas" with a low heating value. The gas man is having his share of difficulties, and while pleasure at the helm" will not give up any considerable part of the road, nevertheless the fairness of the Amer ican public may be depended upon to meet so serious a problem in a can did manner.

THE NATIONAL CAPITAL
(By J. E. Jones
Gas In The Realms of Business and
 pIqasurn

GaS Tn IEe Realms or Business ana
 Pleasure
 When Gray wrote about Pleasure at the helm" he must have had in mind the steering wheel of an auto mobile. Pleasure and the automobile are responsible for a gas and oil fam inc that is as certain to come as "death and taxes;" but pleasure is running on Thigh" in the golden car of prosperity, singing like birdie" out of place in the mechanism. "If business interferes with your pleas ure then cut out the business"
 Not many years ago there existed and was to be had for the taking, such immense quantities of oil in natural gas fields of the country that it seem ed 1t would never cease to flow And as President Roosevelt once observed ''In the early days the man who re- moved the most trees was considered the greatest public benefactor." Likewise the farmer who mined" his soil and then left an abandoned" farm to open up a piece of "new, cheap land," showed how much more versatile he was than the plodder who remained on the same place and kept the land producing by taking care of it.
 Rich, swaggering America, has never taken the time to think too se- riously about saving it's natural re- sources, and now that the fireplace able oil fields are unequal to the de- mands made upon them, you hear jokes about "Rockefeller's gifts" as the automobile owner settles with the garage man at the rate of thirty cents a gallon, or more.
 But when the manufacturers of ar titicial gas, in common with all other industries, demand an increased price for their product, the wasters of gas and oil that feck the automobile high ways, deem 1t high time to voice their mightiest protests. Why not Y? Isn't Illuminating gas a matter of "business," and why should business commodity go up when pleasure" already demands so great a part of ones income? There must be econ omy somewhere-so why pay more to the public utilities that do nothing for us except to furnish light and heat?
 Gas companies are unable to buy gas oil at the present price, and sup ply gas to the consumers at the old figures, and at the same time keep the receivers away. Of course, the production of Illuminating gas by the utility corporations is accompanied with the same increased cost as ob- tains in production of everything: La Dor, fuel. materials, and all else has doubled and trebled.
