the Red to berate the bourgeois and

DOING BUSINESS AT COST

The Socialist IS a peculiar bug. HIS

them are az times eagerly embraced
by men generally credited with the
possession of common sense. The
! Socialist believes each mar should

world and receive in return q com
Portable, albeit modest living. He
believes, under these conditions, men
would put forth their best efforts
and that the world would run along.
contented and happy that there
would be ne rich and no poor, and
all discomfort would be banished
from the land. In other words, the
Socialist believes he clock will run
tter the handspring has been re
moved that the locomotive may be
made 10 pull without fuel in the
fireboK
UHhapplly, experience has proven
the Socialist is wrong Doing busi-
ness Al Cost has ever proven the
form of doing business. A recent
example, 9u a large scale, Is the eS-
pericnCe Of the government in the
operation of the railroads. Mr.. Nc

The result of Mr. McAdoo's expert

Hines, would seem 10 prove that they
did furnish transportation al cost.
They even went further and hauled
freight and passengers At less than
cost-at about a thousand million
dollars less than cost, aud this thous-
