WAR ON BLINDNESS
WACED BY SOCIETY

New York.-Remarkable progress
in 20 years organized efforts to re-
duce the frequency of blindness in
America, pointing to possible elm
ination of the principal diseases caus-
ing blindness and the reduction of eye
injuries to minimum, is shown by a
report of the National Society for the
Prevention of Blindness.
The greatest single achievement
has been in the field of ophthalmia
nenotorum, commonly know n as
"babies' sore eyes," the society re-
ports. AS a result of adoption of
laws, in most states, requiring doc
tors, nurses, or others in attendance
to put prophylactic drops in the eyes
of babies at birth and the constant
educational actiities of the society, the
report states, the frequency of oph-
thalmia neonatorum as a cause OF
blindness among those admitted tc
schools for the blind has diminished
each year until now it is Ga per cent
less than in 1908.

THE CANDIDATES CHANCE

Why do politicians find it so diff
cult to speak plainly about the injunc-
tion issue, to name but one question
upon which there has been equivoca.
ton to the sickening point?
Because the injunction\evil involves
a principle of human freedom, and
in neither party convention was there
a sufficient majority of advocates OF
freedom to clearly carry the day.
In Kansas City there was Mr.. Andy
Mellon, and he had plenty of faith

and in Houston.

LOW WAGES, NATURALLY

In Reading, Pa, where an organiza.
ton campaign is under way, it is
found that unorganized industries are
paying record low wages. The union
men point out to the merchants of the
town that these non-union low wage
earners are unable to buy as many
things from Reading stores as would
be bought by union men earning
proper wages. This is the case, uni
versally. Low wages start vicious
cycle of low buying power that hits
straight back at the employers. High
wages start great chain of we'll
being. 1t is to be hoped that the les
son will be learned not only in Read
ing, but in every place where en-
ployers hide their heads in the sand
and pay low wages to half starved
workers.

SAVE OUR WATER POWER

Tremendous and ever increasing
water power development means that
capitalists have found there is money
in water, when it is harnessed and
converted into electricity.
Particularly is there money in water
in the United States, which has the
greatest water power resources of
any nation in the world, there being
sc, ,000,O0 horsepower of potential
energy available in the rivers and
streams Of the country, according to
the United States Geological Survey.
The United States is also far in the
lead jim developed horse power. Plants
here have total capacity of 1l,700,00
horsepower, according to the latest
figures or approximately as much as
all Europe combined.
1t is no wonder that the power in
terests are eager to get their hands
on the great Muscle Shoals develop
ment, which offers rich opportunities
for exploitation and fat profits.
The Muscle Shoals plant belongs to
the people of the United States anG
they will be foolish to permit it te
pass to the hands of greedy interests
that prize it solely for its moneymak
ing possibilities. These interests were
aided by President Coolidge's "vest
pocket" veto of the bill that would
have preserved Muscle Shoals for thu
nation. Unfortunately there is M
certainty that the bill will again b,
passed and ultimately made law.
The same powers defeated the Boul
der Dam measure and they, will b.
alert and active again and ready t.
spend millions of dollars to keep tn
people from developing and holdin,
for their own benefits these vast re
sources that naturally and rightfull
belong to them.

MoLDING PUBLIC OPINION

If the Federal Trade Commissions
investigation of public utilities were
given space it deserves by the daily
press, the nation would know how
public opinion is stealthily formed by
corporations.
No group should be denied the right
to present their views to fellow cit
izens, but objection can be raised when
secret propaganda reaches into our
public schools, controls educators,
writes textbooks and raises slush
funds that every user Of gas, elec-
tricity and water power must pay for.
The investigation should awaken
organized labor to the resourcefulness
of those who oppose trade unionism
labor injunction relief, the federal
child labor amendment and other so.
cial and legislative proposals.
Behind seemingly spontaneous ane
nationwide opposition to socia
changes can be found crafty men whe
direct these movements. They have
unlimited financial resources and al
entry into every avenue that mold.
public opinion.
Those who profit by these secre
| movements can not be expected t,
expose the plot.
Trad unionists should be realists
and extend their own publicity ma
chinery, rather than depend upol

Association, in conventions just end
ed, strongly denounced utilities propa-
ganda in schools. This is all to the
good. The honest teachers of the
country, who are in the overwhelming
majority, have served notice on the
utilities crowd that they will not be
used as propaganda agents for util-
ity and power companies. 1t will be
more difficult in the future than it
has been in the past for the utility
interests to corrupt educators and
"get away" with it. The educator
who paints utility and power COM

tions, concerned only with the peo-
ple's, welfare, will be under suspicion
and will be closely watcher by his

consideration and action.
Immediately thereafter, steps
were taken to draft legislation
which, when enacted by congress,
would authorize the federal govern
ment to construct such works as
would be required to best regulate
and utilize the waters of the Colo

That this development must be
handled directly by the federal gov
ernment was generally recognized.
The fact that the Colorado is not
only an interstate but an interna-
tional river presented complex prob

out, far beyond the scope or any
private agency or political subdivi-

The first of these problems to

NNE fundamental reason for the great
success of the California Fruit Growers
Exchange lies in the fact that its plan of
operation effectively combines the con-
structive features of both competition and
cooperation.
Under the Exchange system all growers
compete TO produce the highest quality of
fruit. The highest returns in any Exchange
association 90 TO growers who produce the
most fruit per acre, or who have the largest
percentage of their crops sorted into the
higher-priced top grades.
Likewise each local association competes
with the other 201 associations within the
Exchange. But the rivalry is in operating
efficiency. The association that packs and
handles its fruit better, builds following for
its labels ar los premiums for its pains.
Every Exchange erand assocationhas
the maximum incentive for efficiency in man
agement, economy in operation and skill IN
method. Through this constructive compe-
titon the rewards of success automatically go
TO the winners in the form OF higher. returns.
But when the lid is nailed on box of Ex-
change fruit, competition ceases and coop
Grafton begins. The problem is then to
Systematically distribute aHthe California crop

Ponlder Canyon and the All-Amerl-
can canal. Dr.. Work recommended
that provision also be written into
the bill authorizing the Government
to construct and operate the hydro
electric power generating plant at
the dam site, if it so desires. Where
the original bill had provided for
Il total appropriation of $4,000, 900,
Or. Work recommended that fund
of $12j, 100000 be created. OF this
fetal sum, he stated, $41 100000
should be used to finance the dam,
$31, 100000 used to finance the pow
er generating plant and necessary
transmission lines, $31 100000 used
to finance the All-American canal
and $21, 100000 set aside to meet in
terest and annual principal charges
on these capital investments while
the works involved were being con
structed.
u. Work 5 plan, now incorporated
within the bin, provides that the
power. if generated in 4 Govern
ment-owned plant at Boulder dam,
shall be sold at unit price suffic-
lent to meet all operation and main
tenance charges on the plant and
dam structure, and all interest and
annual principal charges on the
monies invested in erecting these
projects. 1t is further specified in
the bill that the Government shall
not launch construction of the dam
or expend one dollar of public
money until the Secretary of the In
terror receives from municipalities
or other agencies in the Southwest
Imperial Valley press., 1928-02-16

contracts for the purchase of water
and power sufficient to meet all
fixed charges and operating costs
on the works involved.
In similar manner the bill, as
approved by Secretary Work, pro-
vides that the Government shall
not commence construction of the
All-Ameriean canal until the lands
to be affected by this development
shall have been pledged to meet
whatever charges are necessary to
refund the monies invested in this
irrigation system.
1t is, therefore, manifest that un
der the bill as it is now written, the
Federal Government is assured of
the return, with interest, of every
penny invested in Colorado River
development work. The projects are
TO be financed entirely by the South
west, with the Federal Government
lending its credit and retaining
ownership of the structures.

...better returns!
They can be obtained only by marketing our
citrus crop through one central organization.

In this common task Exchange growers and
associations stand shoulder to shoulder.
Orderly distribution is possible only when
the marketing is directed by a central organ-
zation that has all the facts about supply and
demand everywhere. Marketing through un-
related agencies, each acting independently,
inevitably leads to the over or under-supply
of some or all markets Sales competition
within the industry can only result in lower
ing prices.
The achievement of the Exchange in sue
cessfully marketing the fruit of its 1000
growers lies in the fact that it handles IS
percent of the yield.
As the percent of the crop marketed
through the Exchange has increased the
marketing efficiency of the organization has
steadily improved.
The most beneficial single thing that
could happen to the California citrus indus
try would be to have every carload of Cali
fornia oranges, lemons and grapefruit mar
keted through the California Fruit Growers
Exchange.
Then there would be as much competi-
ton for quality among California growers
and associations as though the Exchange
did not exist.
But there would be 100 percent co-opera-
ton in perfecting the systematic distribution
of the entire crop to the markets OF the
world and increased returns for every
grower.

Famed Partners Break

PARIS, June 20.-The famous
partnership Of Dieudonne Costes
and Joseph Lebrix has been dis
solved.
There has been no disagreement.
They are still the best of friends.
But when Captain Costes is ready
to leave about July is on his at
tempted fight from Paris to New
York he wants to fly as Lindbergh
f1ew-alone.
just as Captain Costes was TAX
ing off from Villacoublay aboard
the Nungesser-Coli plane for a
fight to Nancy, his attention was
called to the fact that for the first
time Lieut.. Commander Lebrix was
not in his accustomed place in TIE
cockpit.
1t was then that Captain Costes
disclosed his plans for the trans
