Costly Public Control.

II is not difficult to see why public
ownership involves wasteful operation.
The public doesn't have to make anything
nav its way. II there is loss, the people
have TO make it up in taxation. There is
no sort of penalty for waste, such as
would attend the luckless manager re-
sponsble to an eager set of stockholders.
The latter officer would he incontinently
dismissed as no good II he is administer
ing public utility, with recourse to the
public treasury for whatever deficits he
produces, no one seems at all concerned to
get at him tie and the politicians between
them invariably contrive to run the ma
chine in the most costly way possible and
there is no penalty whatever for doing IL.
One may at the very least refresh the
recollection as to what is always the mat
ter with federaized enterprise-or even a
municipalities one. 1t is that the men in
control of il are under no inducement to
make it pay. The inducements, on the
contrary, are to be eXtravagant 1t will
always be so. Deficits can always be made
up from the public pocket and very often
they will be concealed from public know
ledge. A business that has to justify itself
by it's balance sheet, even though 1T has
to yield a profit on its operation, invari-
ably costs the public less than one which
has to make no profit at all, but which
can be kept going at prodigious loss.
The whole theory of government owner
ship is that the absence of duty to make
profit will rebound to the advantage of the
public. 1t ought to, but it doesn't. How
ever, you never can make any OF these
jolly theorists see anything so practical as
that They always say that because rail-
way. or a gas works, or any such thing
doesn't need to make profit, the public
naturally gets its service cheaper. But
that presupposes the management will be
Just as careful as it used to be-and it
never is. A | the money that used to go
for profits land then some) goes to some
one else, The public usually pays about
as much for the original service; and in
addition pays great deal more for taxes
to make good the leaks. (Editorial-Low-

BETrER MARRIAGE LAWS NEEDED

Better marriage laws in this State
were urged by Mrs. Maude S. Smith, sec
retary of the ChiidreD's Protective So

Lincoln Club held in Portla nd. Mrs.
Smith stated that it is possible thing
for a girl of II and boy OF 16 to be mar
ried in Maine and for that reason she
urged that the laws be passed whereby II
would make it impossible for parents to
give their consent until the girl is at
least 16 and the boy 18. She commend
ed the divorce laws in the State as beng
fair. as divorce is granted here on hve
grounds, while many states have IL OF

the danger of the situation and rallied to
support of the Fascist. a new cabinet
was formed and a man named Mussolini
was made premier. Mussolini seems to
be "stalwart" somewhat like the Roose
welt type. In announcing his policy he
told the Italian people that there must be
an end of government management OF
public utilities and industries and that
they must be transferred to private own
ership, He told them that all existing
useless bureaus must be abolished. He
told them that the military payroll must
be cut down one. half. He told them that
an iron-clad budget system must be de-
vised. He told them that vigorous
campaign must be waged against radical
ism and internationslism which has made
the Italian nation the plsything of de-
signing interests both at home and abroad.
He told them that Italy can regain her
old time economic and financial strength
only by devotion to an increase of pro-
duction, a cutting down of both public
and private expenditure and saving in
everv possible way" or in other words
by sacrifice and hard work by all classes.
1t is worthy of note that in another public
address he said: 81 agree with the Ameri-
cans that Europe must first put her own
he use in order before she can expect
helpful cooperation from America"

EXPORTS AND IMPORTS

The tariff law now in force was inter-
uittently under discussion IN tCongresS
for more than year. In the meantime
propaganda against the passage OF the
h;,l was pier tiful and persistent. 1t
came from overseas, brought and dissem-
mated by representatives of foreign man.
ufacturers and producers. In this coun-
try it came from international bankers
and importers. 1t came from a numer-
Gus class of Americans who are not pro-
ducers, who toll not neither do they spin'
who have nothing to sell and desire 10
buy where they can buy the cheapest,
regardless of the welfare of those who In
the sweat of the face eat bread.
These people told US that this tariff Oil
vould largely reduce our importations
that foreign nations could not buy OF US
unless they sold to US, and that the result
would be the absolute ruin of the busl-
ness of this country. This is specious
argument but it was utterly disproved by
the workings of the Mckinley Tariff, the
Dingley Tariff and the Payne-Aldrich
Tariff. Following each of these enact
ments, both importations and exporta-
tions were increased and activity in ousi-
ness put stagnation to flight. The pres
ent tariff law has been in effect for about
three months and already history is re-
heating itself. Despite all the denuncia-
t;on of the present tariff bill on the
,round that it would shut foreign goods
srom this country, our i'm portations for
October and November have been unusu-
,lly heavy for this season of the year.
The annual revenue receipts therefrom
exceed those during the same months OF

rife ports tell us that export shipments
are so great that cargo space is sold

It is easy enough to start on road
With a crowd of friends going your
way; i,
Not hard at the outset to shoulder load
If YOU'RE feeling courageous and gay
The real test will come as The shadows
grow long
And the weight of the burden is more
Than when you filst left it, with hall OF
song
Now you're weary, maybe, and footsore.

Re a finisher, don't lag behind;
Reward for yourself, praise from those
whom you led,
At the end of the journey you'll hnd.
