GENERAL ASPHALT.

The most practical explanation
for the strength in General Asphalt
was a feature again today. is that
some of the big traders who cleared
a large sum in Mexican Petroleum
have been putting their profits into
Asphalt stock. Asphalt makes the
same appeal thai Mexican Petroleum
does. for both mystery" stocks and
as such susceptible TO wide fiuctua-
tiQns- General Asphalt figures as an
oil stock when the oils are on the
move, as the stock of a road making

way improvement are prominently
before the public mind. The two
fold aspect make the shares double
attractive from a speculative point
OF view.

bottom reached during the general

Fresh buying of Brooklyn Rapid

Of the May report This was an

surplus off Sass. 25S for the month
and a total for the IL months end
ing May 81 OF $2.S15,3S3- May is
fair average traffic period. Conse-
quently it is a reasonable calcula-
ton to multiply the May figures by
IL in order to arrive at what Brook

year. On this basis there is being
earned not less than Sc share on

On the Main Line.

BOISE is putting up real fight for

lob of raising almost half a million
dollars is not a small one, particularly

lob and probably, wanting it SO long

Caldwell is also on STUB" That

thousands of people, tourists, travel
Caldwell is off that artery. Ninety
per cent of the tourists who motor
thru southern Idaho every summer
fail to see one of the finest bits of
Idaho, the southern part of the Boise
project.
Just now Caldwell is engaged in a
campaign to right itself on the high
way problem, to get main line"
connection. Only $3.50 is asked to
make that possible. Here is project
that commends itself to every loyal
Caldwell citizen. 1t is unthinkable
that Caldwell should fail to appreciate
the importance of this thing whose
size, from the monetory request made
of Caldwell, seems to have blinded
some Of us to its importance.

The Muscle Shoals bill will be back

There is marked opposition to the
leasing of Muscle Shoals to the Mich

all, provides certain capital for the
enterprise for long period of time
and at low interest, and obtains no
guarantees from the purchaser.
1t is absurd to suppose that Ford

they have, is the fact that Mr.. Ford

What a farce this makes of gov
evrnment! Is it any wonder that
when such methods are used to
secure political favor, at the ex-
pense of the general public, that
taxes have mounted, that the over
head cost of government has in
creased, and that the people are
restless and Disguised with the
political situation
If we are to have a government
of bloc rule" instead Of a gov
eminent of deliberation and con-
sideration of the best interests of
the people, we have virtually step
ped back to the days of the feudal
system. The bloc in power, like
the feudal lord, can impose on a
helpless people whatever it wishes
in the way of legislation, regula-
ton or taxation, regardless of the
best interests of the country.
Such a condition, however, led to
the wiping out of the feudal sys-
tenn and such condition will lead
to the defeat of bloc organization

We need leaders in governmental
affairs who are not "bloc ridden"
for their own selfish interests but
who are thoroughly represent
atives of the people in that they
have sufficient nerve and back
bone to advocate policies which
are for the benefit Of the nation
and not merely 70 rthe benefit of

Things of real merit do not require
a disguise.
Probably that is the one great weak
ness of the Ku Klux Khan when its
work is submitted to the acid test
Of public opinion. There is mystery
and an appeal to the secret that in
vtes curiosity and that prompts huge
membership. On its face, the Klan
has worthy object so far as its pol
icy of keeping America for Americans
and making America American is con-
cerned. But even that breaks at once
into individual rights, guaranteed by
the constitution, to exercise our own
opinion as to what properly constitutes
Americanism. Opinions differ. Con-
cedng that possibly the Khan has only
the highest motive and the true ideal
of Americanism, it is nevertheless true
that whatever creed it may advocate,
big groups of American citizens will
disagree with that creed. And the
right to disagree is an inherent privi-
lege of American citizenship.
The nature of the Klan's work is
an invitation for abuse of its methods.
Wednesday its highest official was
called upon to deny that the Khan
was in any way responsible for the
destruction of Catholic church prop
erty over wide section of Canada.
The Klan is always defending, ex-
planning, denying. Its position is a
defensive one, a position that but for
its regalia and the easy possibility of
its duplication by irresponsible gangs,

of its six million members, court pro-

be, the uneasiness will persist until th'

The Trend

Toward Monopoly
A dozen years ago every agency OF
the government was directed towards
checking the growth of monopolies
The Sherman Antitrust law had lain |
dormant for many years until the
Roosevelt administration decided to en-
force it's provisions. Then came the
long drawn out suits to determine what |
the law meant The Standard Oil |
Company was dissolved" and the to-
bacco trust was "annihilated" For |
brief period monopolies and trusts
were regarded as enemies OF the public |
welfare
The next number on the reel found |
the federal government regulating big |
business through Bureau of Corpora !
tons which was enlarged in the earl
Ter days of the Wilson administration
and merged into the newly created
Federal Trade Commission. After
many arduous years this Commission
has settled down to an enforcement OF
the laws and regulations which seek
to prevent unfair competition. The
Commission has issued hundreds of
complaints, and decided many cases,
wherein they have defined unfair
competition" and unfair trade Little
attempt is any longer made to disturb
monopohes or trusts, but strenuous eff
forts are made to direct the manner of
their dealings with the public.
Last year Congress passed the Pack
ers and Stockyards Control Act, and
under its provisions the secretary Of
Agriculture has attempted to estab-
fish rather definite methods by which
business shall be carried on between
the packers and the stockyards and the
producers. In several cases there has
been sharp conflict between the Fed
eral Government and the packing in
terests, but the outcome in each in
stance gives ground for an optimistic
view of the situation because amicable
adjustments have as rule been
reached owing no doubt to the fact
that the business interests of the coun-
try, including the packers, have grown
to respect the attitude of the govern
ment, and to recognize its right TO lay
down specific rules for their regula
ton and control. Until rather recently
the packers were among the most tenn
pestous kickers with which the gov
ernment had to deal. Everything that
was done in Washington was resented
as IAN interference" with their self
ordained rights, They hired the best
lawyers in the country and stood b,
them when they found the Federal
Trade Commission and other govern
ment bureaus and departments. No
doubt the packers have seen the error
of their way, and they appear to have
found out that if they behave them
selves that there is little difficulty in
getting along with the federal govern
ment.
