THE HUNS ARE HERE

Remember back a few years when the bogie was
raised that the Huns were their way and would
levy tribute unless we sacrificed and gave and
bought.
Well, we won the all right, but it looks very
much as If the Huns are here just the same
You find them up around the public service com
mission asking for about the same tribute that the
kaiser would have taken in indirect taxes had he
become the ruler of the world instead of exile. AT
least even by the widest leap Of imagination, you
could hardly expect him to ask more than interest on
the Increased prices Of iron and copper and steel
that came from war mutations.
That is about what is happening in the minds
Of the utility barons who expect to collect from the
men who won the the price of winning the war.
That is what is involved in the manipulations by
corporations which are asking for more money,
which must come from the pockets of tho peopls
The route is we'll marked and they all travel the
same way.
First there comes an application for huge 49,
sue of stock and bonds which the lawyers explain has
nothing at all to do with rates
The gentlemen who throwing the two local
power and light companies into one are now ASKING
for million-doar issue on properties capf
talized at many millions less than this sum and the
LAWYERS are trying to pacify the public with the
statement that the commission does not fix rates
ON capitalization, but on the physical value
The next STEP of course, is valuation OF the
properties at much less than the amount of securk
ties which are handed out
Then comes the suit in the Federal courts which
show that rates thus fixed cnntscation of prop
sry and invariably those courts have looked at the
stock issues and given the innocent" purchaser OF
these securities a rate that will compensate them
In the end the public has paid and will CON
tinue to pay dividends on these new valuations
What really has happened and is happening fs
that the utility barons collecting for the war.
During the war the prices of the materials
which are used IN these utilities took big jump
They are the same materials used for guns and am
muntion.
Those prices have remained UP. 1t Is true that
the companies have not had to buy new materials
But they are intent ON collecting interest ON war
prices for their old materials and abB, Through
their political lawyers and their hghprirHH EXPERTS
to convince tine commissions the usticB nf their
claims
The mergers, the purchases by new cnmlnni1fS'
the applications for Increased rates, all ed hack to
this very simple system:
The purpose is to collect, through commissions
and COURTS interest on prices fixed by VIII ,cnndf
TONS
Figure it all out for yourself Whit dffarent
method would the kaiser have followed had ne
won? Are the Huns here, in this simple disguise?
Is democracy safe for itself? Who really WON the
war?

Back in our school days, like millions OF boys
and girls today WE studied history. particularly

And of course we got the usual pannrHma.

as perfect as God-and the British cruel stupid,

group of nations anywhere on the face OF the globe
Which is why the protest of Lieut. CD. Thomas
j. Dickson chapains corps, United States Army, re-
tired and president Of the First Division Society OF
Washington D. c.. is worthy of more than passing
notice.
Colonel Dickson, whose record 0versaas Us
to be envied, in criticism cites case after case
taken from school histories in use all OVER the
United States where pictures of world war events
are distorted out of all proportion.
Some Of the histories slur over the FIRST three
gears OF the great war; says the colonel, and give
American boys and girls the impression that there
wasn't any real fighting until came in and that
wlfen we did 80 we quickly the war

he argues for two very good reasons.
First it will call down upon country the hate
and contempt of foreigners in general and former
allies in particular and second, it constitutes real
danger to the children themselves and to the Nation.
ID Among scores of examples culled from many diff
ferent text books, Colonel Dickson quotes the fol-
lowing from 'Our United States" (Guitteaus Silver

because they made up for their lack of experience
