Public Value of Private Investments
Professor Charles w. Gerstenberg
of New York University, In q recent
article has discussed the distribu-
ton Of wealth and the manner In
which private Investments are SER
viceable TO the public. An extract
from his article Is given below:
Let us look at the problem more
concretely. Jones has Just made 81
100000. He may U) invest 1t in a
plant making products for which
there is large demand: (2) invest
1t in a plant for which there Is prac-
tically no demand; (3) invest 1t in
a lodge" in the Adirondacks, a mar
BILE castle on Long Island and q su-
perfluity of Crain-Simplex automo-
biles. The first disposal OF the cap
ital will benefit society thru giving
the public what 1t wants, and incl
dentally Jones will make more pro-
fits. The second disposal will not
aid society, but rather inJure society
by drawing off from the production
of needed goods capital that is bur-
led in the production Of unnecessary
goods. Jones, of course. gets nc
benefit. The third disposal brings in
an infinitesimal benefit to society
thru the Identification OF lands las

that the structures are not eye sores)
and Jones will get such psychic in
come as the possession OF these mon
uments OF past achievements may
yield. Practically. then, benefit
comes to Jones and society only
when profits are invested in profit
making enterprise. Out Of the pro-
fits of that enterprise Jones may
consume some income in personal
living and may invest the rest In nd
ditional productive enterprise. Only
that portion that Jones personally
consumes really belongs to him. The
rest Is used for producing goods tina,
society needs and demands. To the
extent then that Jones consumes
riotously or invests unwisely he
draws capital from productive enter
prises and from society, and to tina,
| extent he is to be condemned. But
to the extent that he invests In pro.
ductive enterprise, he VIII contribute
to the progress OF society.

PLANNING CORRUPT ELECTION
IDes Moines Capital1


The primary election law has been
used In many instances to the detri-
ment OF good government In the first
place the citizen thinks he IL not
violating law when he violates the
primary Is political, and not legal. He
thinks the violation OF the primary
is of less consequence than the vio-
lation of the general election law
To show the estimate some of the
people place upon the primary law. 1t
only need be stated that men OF all
political parties outside of the re-
publican party are preparing to make
oath that they are republicans In
order to vote against Senator Cum
Minis at the primary.
The Fort Dodge Messenger re-
lates that cards have been put In
circulation telling the voter how to
proceed at the primary. He is to ask
for republican ballot. II he is chal-
lenged. or IL he has voted another
kind Of party ticket during the two
years he 10 told to swear his vote
in.
II this advice Is followed by MI the
members OF the democratic party. the
socialist party and the committee OF
forty eight party. It will be the rank
est outrage that has been perpstrat-
ed upon the people Of Iowa since the
organization OF tho state.
The opponents OF Senator Cum
Minis hope to defeat him In his own
party. by this process OF concentra-
ton. Come Of these opponents think
that Brookhart - weak man. but
that II he can be nominated at the
primary Claude Porter can beat him
at the polls.
II the republicans Of Iowa put their
war paint on and stand by their legal
rights they can defeat all these cor
rupt plans on June Z at the state
primary. We warn the republicans Of
Iowa to awaken and be on their
guard.
Samuel Gompers has ordered the
defeat OF Cummins and II Samuel
Gompers has suggested the plan now
Icing worked out in Iowa. he Is mo
longer worthy to hold his present
exalted place.

BROOKHART AT HOME.
Davenport Times

Smith Brookhart tried to get the
nomination for congress in the First
district, but the people down there
know him personally and refused TO
nominate him. Now he is trying to
fool the people who do not know him
the people out over the state---but
the indications are that the republi-
cans OF the state are going to follow
the precedent established by the
First district and refuse to give him
a nomination, and especially when he
is trying to hitch the farmers OF the
state to the tail OF the city radicals

While the motor car owner OF this

rise in the cost of that product to 81
cents, he is far better of than his

The Windn,ill
RIVER SONG.


Lound at the dawn OF the sixth day
spoke the wise Lord God:
I have fashioned Eden from the
fabric OF my dream.
But it empty seems and cold; dry
and desolate and old"
Then Michael whispered to him:
Lord. there is no flowing
stream!"
So from bleakness to deliver
This His work, God drew q river
Thru shaded. perfumed silences 1t
sang It's lusty mirth.
The shy young echoes spoke to it!
And bird and beast awoks to II.
Its rapids sang cradle song to
soothe the newborn earth.
L'o. on the day when the Master
walked from Nazareth,
On His splendid journey to Goigo-
tha's bitter tree,
Did He seek His conservation, hum
BILE monarch OF creation,
In the hills or In the valley? BY the
desert or the sea?
Nay, He sought running river
Felt the Jordanis ripples CULVER !,
With eager love about Him. ana the
currents tug and strain.
He. Gods immortal only Son,
The wholly pure and sinless one.
Sought soiace at q river, ere ne took
up life again.
So. II It be that enter In 1t Peters
gate,
If the angel ,entinels win let my
spirit pass,
I pray be not told 20 get . crown
OF gold
And stand amid the blessed ones be-
side the Sea Of Glass,
But let me seek q river
Where the dusky ripples s1,iver
And the, water weeds are waving IN.
the crystal currents flow.
And in a dropping willows shade
Oh, let my weary soul be laid
To dream beside q river for q glacial
age or 10.
