PAPER MONEY
PIPE DREAMS
BY JOHN oAkWooD

Hitting the pipe seems like the
greatest way In the world TO get
something for nothing.-a whole para.
disc full of joy for few whiffs Of
opium smoke. But
By the way. the big lure about fat
money is that II seems TO promise
about as much for nothing as a whin
on the pipe. They are just coming
out of such dream now in Germany.
Here is the way that German soft
money dream goes. Say in 1918
man put ten year mortgage for 90.
900 marks on his farm. Marks were
then worth. In gold. about four
TO the dollar. The debt. therefore,
was equivalent to about 5000.
In the ten years since that debt was
contracted. the German Government
has published, so to speak. trillions OF
paper marks. What happened? What
would happen TO the price of eggs II
they had a hen at Washington laying
a billion eggs day.-even II they put
a government stamp on them saying
eggs were worth q quarter n piece?
German marks have gone down from
four TO the dollar to 10000 TO the
dollar.
Here is where the pipe dream gets
parucuiariy sooo. Tne 1918 mort.
gage Is now due.-2o.000 marks are
to be paid. Marks are quoted 1870 900
to the dollar. Twenty-thousand
marks. one-sixth Of that. therefore
equal onesixth OF a dollar.-16 20
cents. On the theory that "a mark
Is mark" the debtor could wipe Oh
his $1,000 mortgage for 16 20 cents
less than the value OF dozen eggs,
That In. he can unless the pipo
dream comes 10 sudden end. For
one thing the German courts are rub
Ing that the theory "a mark Is a mark"
doesn't go.-that n debtor has TO give
back a fair equivalent for what he re-
eeived and that present paper marks
worth 10000 TO the dollar are not
the fair equivalent Of former gold
marks at four 10 the dollar.
Furthermore all pipe dreams ars

sidered the effect of his remarks
upon his political future.
The Rochdale plan of cooperation
was notable for four things. In the
first place, it was n consumers
movement. In the second place it
required 10 legislation whatever. In
the third place it began in small
way and grew on its own resources,
like a healthy plant. In the fourth
place it was n shining example of
self help. The Rochdale pioneers
were workmen who wanted cheap
groceries; they were not producers.
They did not have to go to Pallia-
ment for powers TO do what they
wanted to do. They started with
one small shop in Toad lane, Roch-
dale, and opened others as business
warranted. They did it themselves
with their own money. They did
not go to Parliament for an appro
priation. They did not ask that rail-
road freight rates should be reduced
or that the Bank of England should
be abolished, or that anyone elscs
property should be given to them.
They did the whole job themselves,
for themselves. by themselves, and
from that day to this wherever pco-
pie have been willing to do as the
Rochdale weavers did cooperation
has f1ourished. England and Russia
are shining examples so far as re.
suits are concerned. Naturally CO.
operation on this plan is distasteful
to your orthodox Socialist. He. hates
it for a number of reasons, chief
among which, perhaps, is that it has
demonstrated its ability to live and
thrive in "captalistic" surroundings
unless, possibly he hates it more
because it needs no talk and no leg
islation but merely action.
How will Senator Brookhart's
paean of praise for Rochdale sound
to the Farmer Labor bloc? Their
constituents are consumers, of
course. but they are primarily pro-
ducers. They want legislation-lots
of it, They want lower freight rates
from the railroads. They want to
upset the federal reserve system.
They want other people to do a lot
of things for them. They blame
everything and everyone else for
their troubles. and the senator as
good as tells them to follow Roch
dale's example and dig themselves
out.
1t will be interesting to see how
long Senator Brookhart will continue
to believe in the Rochda!e plan for
America after some of his cOnStitu-
ems have had chance to talk with
him.

REASONABLE OR UNREAsoN'
ABLE?

If 155, 900 miners of anthracite stop
work September list there inevitably
will result serious shortage of fuel
in some parts of the country. Prices
of other fuel will rise to unreason-
able heights, the public will be
mulct of millions, there will follow
for all a widespread increase in the
cost of living, the miners them
selves will lose for the time being
their earning power. In short their
act will have tremendous conse-
quences.
Such being the situation the ques-
ton arises, are they warranted in
striking? OF course a man may or
may not work, but if he refuses to
work without proper cause for such
refusal he becomes the enemy of
those willing to work under reason
able conditions. He has no right to
expect their assistance. He invites
retaliation on the part of those
producing his food, his clothing,
his sustenance. He withdraws from
association with those willing to do
their part in maintaining living con-
ditions in this world.
They have said that they will
strike unless the mines be closed to
all other than union labor. This
denies the right to fellow men to
work beside them unless they accept
certain views about belonging to the
union. They say they will strike un-
less the mine operators deduct from
the pay of it's employees the union
dues and so ask the employer to take
the amount from the pay envelope
in other word demand that the
operators shall compel the members
Of the labor union to support the
union.
Are these reasonable demands? II
they are not let's get ready to in
sist that such a threat shall be made
to fail, regardless of an approaching
presidential year, regardless OF
many things. And let's not forget
that those who make unreasonable
threats to freeze or starvc people
into submission should never be
given power to do so. should never
be permitted to rule that which
they have attempted to ruin.

SOMETHING SERIOUSLY TO
THINK ABOUT

The very evident increase in the
number of deaths from cancer in
this State from year to year is surely
cause for serious consideration.
In the first year of registration,
1892, the NUMBER of deaths from
cancer reported in Maine was 404.
In the year 1917 this number had
risen to sci. Note the increase,
year by year: 1918, 1874; 1919. sSS;
1920, 93s; 1921. 914; 1922, 962.
In other words the number of
deaths from cancer in this State has
considerably more than doubled
since 1892, this Notwithstanding the
fact that people have been repeat
eddy warned against delay in treat
ment.
OF the 962 deaths from cancer
last year probably a large percent
age Of these would not have &C.
Cured had the growth been removed
in the early stages.

Editorial Comment
Senator Brookhart's Break
(BOStOn Heraldl


Senator Brookhart, having COM
pletcd his economic survey of Eu-
rope during which he visited fife n
countries in sixty days, comes home
an, enthusiastic advocate of coop
Grafton according to the Rochdale
plan. He considers this as the one
constructive idea that has survived
thc war and he believes that it con-
tains the principle which will save
America from the criminal trusts
and all the other devilish inventions
of Wall street. Many astounding
things have been said on incoming
steamers and on steamship piers in
tho last few years, since the "eco-
nomic tour" became the fashionable
thing for our statesmen, bankers
and Economists" Considering the
speaker and the sentiment, Senator
Broolharts contribution is certainly
not the least surprising of the COL
lection. One must wonder if the
senator really meant what he said,
Or, if he did, whether he has con-

fit condition as are the owners of
other fields producing other crops.
Probably the State could and should
contribute assistance by regulation.
BY this it is not meant for industry
to so to its task in a dinner coat or
white flannels, or that woodsmen
should give the wilderness a marcel
wave once IN so often. Rather we
have in mind precautions and chang
cd methods for the future; grooming
the shores of our lakes would have to
be a gradual process at best. 1t would
be tremendous undertaking to clear
away the deadwood caused by meth
DDS of former operations. Some i'm
provcmcnt in this might be practical
BILE, but the special effort should rath-
er be TO avoiding such conditions in
the future.

In the last story, Little Jack Rab-
Bit and the handsome prince were
driving away in a coach with four
prancing horses.
Well, by and by. after while or
maybe a mile, one of the horses lost
a shoe, so the driver stopped and
jumping down from his seat, ran back
to pick it up, but just as he stopped
over a great big giant sprang out of
the bushes and swung his great club
in the air, which, so frightened the
poor driver that he dropped the
horseshoe on his toe and raced back
to the coach with the giant after him.
The handsome prince who was
looking out of the window grew very
pale.
