Thieves fight shy of houses with

Nathan l.. Miller might have

The recreant New York city men,
bers who voted for this latest out
rage upon the people might have
braved it, hoping that the Money
Power would take care Of them.
But the Plunderbund itself would
not have had the nerve to face a
referendum of the people, for it
knows it would not stand as much
chance as a snowflake in the hot
place.
1t has dared to do this monstrous
thing now because it knows that the
cards are stacked; the people can
not recall a single one of it's tools
in time to stop the thievery.
And if, by an upheaval, its pres
ent tools are scornfully elected at
the first political opportunity, it will
have its corrupt agents secretly at
work to pervert the next admins
tration, for it is equally at home
in either party.
If the people of New York do not
want government by and for au-
dacious and predatory minorities;
if they do not want to be bled white
paying enforced tribute to unscrupu-
lous financial interests; if they DO
want to GOVERN THEMSELVES,
no time is so good as now for them

by which they can rule.

William AthertOn Du Puy-

Many years ago John Jacob Esch, Representa-
tive in Congress from Wisconsin, had a brother
who ran on the train $ express messenger
One day there was frightful wreck and this
man gave up his life in an accident that might
have been averted.
SO, when Mr. Esch came to Congress there was
one subject which above all Others was always
on the top of his mind He asked himself and
he asked Congress one question: What can be
done to prevent railroad accidents"
Eighteen years ago he introduced bill
quiring the use of steel cars. Unthinkable, i'm
possible, said the railroad people. He kept REIN
Producing it. Finally one railroad built some
steel experimentally They were so supe-
rior that they have displaced wooden ones with

Mr.. Esch fathered legislation requiring exam

Commerce Commission. the law which prohibited
an employe working more than sixteen hours
the law authorizing the Interstate Commerce
Commission to order the installation of the block
signal system when 1t thought 1t wise, and many
other safety measures.
He went out of the field OF railroading in his
campaigns for safety He made it illegal to use
in match manufacture any poisonous substances
and saved the lives of fifty babies a year who

sion he introduces some new safety legislation.
So. he holds, did his brother not die in vain.

1t is not unnatural that at a woman's conven-

efforts to organize a new party at Chicago ap-

so ideal, his clothes marvelously correct that

Facts About
the Railroads

HYOW that we face another rail-
IN way crisis, certain facts need to
~ be kept in view.
The claim has been persistently
made in railway propaganda that
when the Government took over the
railroads at the end of 1917 it found
them in good condition and turned
them back, March 1, 1920, in a
wretched condition.
This, of course, is not true. Under
private ownership the railways, in
1917, expended for maintenance and
equipment 90,4S7, ,6O6. In the last
full year of Government operation,
1919, the expenditure was $1,215,-
275,74S, an increase of "a per cent.
For maintenance of way and struc-
lures the private owners in 1917 ex-
pended $445 5,39l 1852; in 1919 the
Government expended $772,513,676,
an increase of 73 per cent
The railroad transportation sys-
TEN broke down under the strain of
war. 1t is conceded, by experts, that
the Government had to take them
over to get goods moved. They were
in better condition, in many respects,
when they were returned to private
ownership, but were not as good as
they will have to be.
In 1917 their gross income was $4,-
O0O,OO0,O00; it is now $3000,000,OOO.
During the twenty-six months of
Government operation there was a
deficit of $715,OOO,0OO, or less than
one million dollars a day. In the
first six months of restored private
ownership the deficit was $631, ,50O,-
600, or more than three million dol
lars day. This does not speak
well for private ownership.
Now the private owners foresee
greater deficits and are again ask
ing for help. They want to cut
wages. They would like to get new
subsidies. Some of them are even
willing to let the Government pay
all their expenses, give them a fixed
return and foot the deficit out of
taxes.
Since the people, in any event,
must "pay the freight" why not
adopt short cut to the inevitable
Government ownership, with the
public getting the beneftsl

To PreUent
PrOfteerinQ

- NE of the organs of American
labor, which is in a position to
~ know the facts, makes this
statement:
"The annual report of the Pitts
burgh Coal Company gives a fair
sample of profiteering last year.
The net profits for 1920, after de-
ductions of fixed charges, deple-
tion, depreciation, etc., were $10,-
932,715, or $27.30 a share, COM
pared with S4,559,716, or $7.46 a
share, in 1919"
4 These amounts do not include, but
are over and above, the amounts
paid on the preferred stock. They
represent the amount paid on the
common stock after the dividends
have been paid on the preferred
stock.
We suppose that the the average
citizen, on reading this statement
of the profits of the coal companies
and thinking of his coal bills last
year, will just sigh despairingly. 1t
is because he and his fellow citizens
will sigh despairingly that these
-things will go on.
There never was any need Of sub
mitting to any of these things. The
power to correct them is in the
hands of our democratic institutions.
That men should be allowed to
profiteer in the bounty of nature, in
the wealth that the sun has stored
up in the bowels of the earth, and
which the tenets, of all religions
teach us was meant for all, is alb
surd. We just let men do it at our
expense because we have not energy
enough to assert our rights. We
would rather read some interesting
stories, go to a baseball game or a
moving picture show, than take a
few hours to study conditions and
reach a conclusion concerning the
methods of correcting the evil
1t would not take us long, if we
really studied the problem, to de-
termine the fact that public owner
ship and operation of the great ma
tural resources which supply us
with the necessaries of life, and
which are natural monopolies, is the
only way we can prevent profiteer-

THEY'RE OFF At
BUDAPEST.


Emperor Carl is going to
celebrate Hungary's first
year of peace by starting a
neighborly little war for
friends only.
Carl has no last name. A
king doesn't last long
enough to need one. He's
just plain Carl to his enem-
les and both his friends.
1t looks as IL the Haps-
buns and the Hohenloafers
were determined to secure
the chewing gum they left
on the bottom OF the throne
in 1918. william the Re-
cent is still saying nothing
and saving less in Holland.
He is unhappy. Being king
amt much better. But
william would rather be
unhappy on a salary. Any
minute he Is liable to march
an army of paper dolls
across the border and
launch ore of his historic
strokes in the sun. Sun
strokes are his speciality.
The Uncrowned Prince is
anxious to sign up on the
dotty line, but William de-
clines without thanks. Hav-
ing no machinery to oil,
he needs no oilcan like him
around. William has mob
ilized his 600 uniforms and
Is drilling daily in front of
a mirror. He is going to
make the world rock again
on it's hinges. His share is
still rocking.
Carl has succeeded in
rounding 10000 very former
generals of assorted sizes
and shapes. He should do
well. as he is not handl-
capped by prohibition.
Rum-mania, which should
not be confused with alco-
holic obsession. Checkers
Slowupia and Jugo-Boozs
have issued ultimatums to
Carl. who has also estab-
lished ultimatums of his
own. Thus the conflict has
ragged into the ultimatum
stage. Which is the most
deadly period of warfare.
If IL ever gets beyond con-
troll of the stenographers
the rattle of monographs
will soon lay the country
waste.
1t looks as II the Four
Jockeys OF the Apocalypse
will resume their deadly
steeplechase on the Euro
pean track. The Atlantic

time. Showing that we are
