PERTINENT POINTS ON
GOVERNMENT OWNERSHIP
By EDWARD N. HURLEY,

By EDWARD N. HURLEY,
Former Chairman of the United
States Shipping Board.
l do not believe there is any large
desire on the part of our citizens to
take advantage over the railroads or
the public utility companies. They
would rather nOt be bothered with
them. The socialistic public-owner-
ship group is a small me-. Newspa-
pers that clamor for public owner
ship are long on big black type and
short on influence among thinking
people.
- - y
If all of the managers of utilities
today are dishonest, if labor is graft
ing, then that is the cause of their
present plight, and it would not be
helped by putting them under the
Government-for a crook is a crook
wherever he may be. The Govern
ment taking over these utilities
would have to take practically these
same managers and men. They are
the experienced men-no others are
available. But these men are not
dishonest; they are honest. They
would lbe just as honest under the
GOvernment-but they would not be
so efficient. They could not be.
They would be prevented from being
efficient. And that is the crux OF
Government ownership.
The element of profit could easily
be withdrawn by substituting public
ownership, but would that in any
way help out the management side?
Could we expect a better average
grade of human beings selected by d
government than selected by private
individuals?
The public employees, drawn from
The Bingham County news. [volume] (Blackfoot, Idaho) 1918-1930, 1921-08-26

employees, do not seem to function
as we'll. There is something about
the atmosphere that makes for the
limitation of effort.
l have found that men commonly
drop a third of their former energy
and efficiency after even a short sea-
son on the Government pay roll. The
railroads have had the same exper-
fence under Government operation.
1t extended to their managers; the
men who had formerly been accus-
responsibility found that they had to
pass all important questions on to
Washington. At first they resented
this; soon they found it a convenient
and thought-saving practice. Several
of them have told me that a few more
years Of responsibility-passing would
have made different men out Of them,
for they found themselves Sinking
decisions which ordinarily they
would have welcomed. They learned
! to dodge responsibility.
A well-organized business tries to
prevent buck-passing. The Govern
ment is organized to facilitate buck
passing-nobody is ever responsible
for anything-and our type of hui
man being grows only according to
the responsibility that is placed on
him.
But a government undertaking
merely goes back to the trough fol
more money. There is a big differ
ence, and human nature, being what
it is, is bound to be affected nightly
And the effect upon human nature
is so great that whatever Theoretical
savings we may plan for public own
ership are wiped out in practice b!
the decrease in the efficiency of the
human beings.

HARRY J. s. IS
TO BE RETIRED

- One of the prime favorites among
race goers is to be retired from the
turf, it is said.
This is the handsome black stallion,
Harry J. S., 2 :O51a that has been raced
so successfully for number of years
by Herman Tyson.
Harry ]. S., though he has appeared
on the Grand Circuit, has done most of
his racing over the half-mile tracks.
In 1917 he set a new record for trotting
stations over a half-mile track when
he trotted three consecutive heats over
the Goshen, N. Y, track in 2: 09, 2 :0734,
2:0734. He is now II years of age,
but raced just as we'll as ever the past
season, as was shown by his winning
race at Goshen, where he trotted his
three winning heats in 2:O81a, 2:O8A,
2:081z. He has won 43 races, which is
very near the record for trotting stall
lions. He was bred and is owned by
Harry J. Stoeckle of Wilmington, Del.
1t is not alone the wonderful success
that he has had in races that has made
him unusually popular. He is not only
fast and game, but has that snappy
determined way of doing it that always
makes a horse of real class a prime
favorite. Harry J. S. is by Admiral
Dewey, 2:0434, and has every right to
become successful sire of speed.

to $50. The Pole had weight, size and
strength in his favor and used all three
to his own advantage.
But in speed and willingness, Cheva-
lier was fully Zby's equal. His work
was spectacular and dazzling in its
variety.
Beginning with the Commute period
he began an attack such as has seldom
been seen in Boston. From toeho1ds
he shifted to deadlock, and from head
lock to body lifts and body scissors. He
was as hornet, biting, singing, tossing
and fighting. The sport followers howl
ed, cheered and roared their approval.
About the Commute period the
Frenchfnan clapped on five headlocks,
holding one for two minutes. 1t was a
finisher and the crowd yelled, Hold it,
hold it, Cheva1ier" The furry ended
for the moment when both went
through the ropes out into the press
tables.
At 40 minutes, Salvador worked be-
hind, secured a wastlock and tried for
body lift. He succeeded in hosting
Zby from the floor and both went down
in a heap. Frenchy got a deadlock
and when Valdez broke this, clamped
on a tOe-hOld.
Losing this, the ex-soldier tried to
work a flying mare, but the Pole was
too bulky and, while he came over, the
job was done so slowly that Zby had no
difficulty in bridging and getting out of
it.
This style of attack continued up to
the 5O-minute period, Cheva1ier putting
on hold after hold and repeatedly
bringing Zby to the mat. But to put
the giants shoulders to the canvass for
a fall, he could not.
Finally Zby secured a reserve leg
lock, down went Chevalier's head on
the mat with bang and, before he
could recover or escape, the French
mans shoulders were squarely down on
the floor and the battle was over.
The fans arose in their seats and
gave the vanquished a mighty cheer,
an unusual happening at wrestling or
any other similar contest.

W[LLIAMS-CHAINS
AT BASKETBALL NOW

What has all the earmarks of a
mighty interesting basketball game will
be staged tonight at Music Hall, when
the Williams of this city and the Chains
of Bridgeport-old rivals on the foot
ball feld-will fight for supremacy on
the basketball court. 1t will be home
and-home series, the Williams appearing
in the Park City at later date.
SO hot is the rivalry that consider
able trouble has been experienced over
the selection of referee and Managers
Frankel of the Williams and Walker of
the Chains have finally decided upon
Tom Gahey of New York, chairman of
the amateur rules committee, to referee
the contest.
Stanton of the Yale 1919 quintet will
lead the Park City five, and attempt to
averge the two singing defeats the
CHAINS suffered at the hands of the New
Haveners on the gridiron. A big dele
cation of Bridgeport fans are expected
to accompany the team to this city.

WHITE SOX GET
STRIKE OUT KING

One of the pitchers recruited by
Charles Comiskey for the White Sox
has a record for striking out "a men
in one game. The pitcher is John
James Tehar a six-foot right handler,
who was with Cedar Rapids in 1920 and
who led the Three I league in victories
with rs.
1t wasn't in the Three-I league that
John James accomplished his remark
able feat of whiting eight-ninths of the
men who faced him, but in Towner, N.
D., against team from Omemee, in the
same state. The team Tehar pitched for
was seni-pro outfit and so was the
team he pitched against.
Tehar joined the Sox last fall, but
did not get into action in any of the
championship games. His home is in
Waczeka, Wis, where he was born on
May 8, 1897. The chap who once

INDICTED SOX
MORE HOPEFUL OF
ESCAPING JAIL
Not a Felony to Conspire to
Throw Games, Says One
Court.

Chicago, Dec. 31.-Members of the
White SoX team which contested in the
1919 world series and who have been
indicted on charges Of throwing
games in the series, have taken new
hope from the ruling of Judge Frank R
Willis of Los Angeles superior court,
who held it was not felony to con-
spire to throw a baseball game.
The decision Of Judge Willis was
handed down in dismissing the indict-
ments of players of the Pacific Coast
league on charges of conspiracy to lose
games.
The indicted White Sox have been
planning to make their strongest fights
for acquittal on legal grounds. That the
states attorneys are not entirely sure
just after the indictments were re-
turned, Maclay Hoyne, at that time
states attorney for Chicago, issued a
statement saying he doubted if there
was a basis in law for the charges.
Later he said that he believed the in
dictments would hold and made ar
engagements for the prosecution.
Arrangements have been made by the
Sox for a strong array of lawyers to
conduct their defense. Several of those
who testified before the grand jury are
reported to have repudiated their al
legged confessions" and to have taken
other steps to lay the ground work for
strong defense.
If the indictments against the Sox
fall through, as did those against the
Pacific Coast league players, the ques-
ton of whether or not they will be al
lowed to play professional baseball
again will probably be up to Judge K.
IA ~, Il h.
The attitude of the judge toward the
indicted players has never been made
known. He has never issued any stat
ment dealing directly with the indicted
men, although he has condemned
gambling on baseball games

BOXING GETS FINAL
COUNT IN NEW HAVEN

Despite the so-called Boxing Com
mission; despite the promises of the
managers of both the bouts and the
boxers, the fight fans of New Haven
were given another lemon here on
Monday night and boxing in this state
put to sleep for the count until the
state itself shall take some action that
will protect the public from the tactics
of the grasping fighters and fight pro-
motors. The show Monday night was
a fasco from the start, but 1000 and
more gullible fight lovers paid out their
good money and were given the usual
treatment of having the star bouts "lie
down" and no comeback.
There IS no need going into the de-
merits of the fight. What concerns the
fight fan most is how he is going to get
run for his money hereafter. The
fight of Monday was loudly heralded
as a show that would bring back the
game to its popularity, be run on the
square under the direct supervision of
the boxing commission, forfeits to
ensure its snap had been posted and in
fact everything was rosy. Instead what
happened?
In the first place the fighters we're
not matched we'll and the boxing COM
mission either didn't know it or over
looked the fact and accepted the man
ayers tout1ng as facts. Then some of
them were overweight and out of con-
dltlon even as was apparent when
looked. When one of the main bouts
proved a hasco and one of the boxers
did a nose dive after one punch the
boxing commission came to life after
the show and stopped, his money. But
the fans who paid it won't have a
comeback.
Meantime the main bout, near
championship affair, came on and
proved even a worse lemon than the
other and was stopped in disgust by
Referee Dave Fitzgerald in the fifth
round. The lemon" got his money as
the boxing board was evidently among
those hurrying out of the arena to
escape the rush.
another and a deserved kick in the neck.
Either the boxing commission isn't
capable of running shows here or else
power is lacking. The commission
heretofore used its power to head off
bouts that promised some action but at
the first opportunity allowed the Quin-
nipiac Club, run by Ike Weiner, to pull
off fiasco that has set the game back
until perhaps the legislature recognizes
that the war established good clean box
ing matches as legitimate sport and
puts it under stringent rules.
Let's have no more of these f1im-fams
until something is done about ensuring
the fans square deal. The workers.
who wish this means of relaxation are
the ones most seriously hurt financially
and there is no good reason why their
money should go to fatten the purses
of the promoters and boxers.
