CURLING Propaganda

Bills intended 10 curb the activities Of public utili.
ties IN utilizing schools and newspapers for the pur-
pose Of influencing public opinion have been intro
duced In the senate by Thomas J. Walsh, senator from
Montana. In presenting his bills the Montana senator
reviewed testimony taken before the Federal Trade
Commission and other documents bearing on the Tin
vasion' Of schools by public utilities propagandists,
the action Of the National Education Association IN
co~ndemning the policy Of agencies putting publicity
into the schools and various addresses and editorials
on the subject.
The bill against the use Of INSPIRED" text books
provides: 1T shall be unlawful for any person. firm or
corporation engaged in interstate commerce. or for any
officer. agent or representative thereof. or any group.
association or other organization maintained BY one or
more such persons, firms or corporations, to offer to
give anything Of value 10 any teacher or member OF
any school board or board Of education to induce him
to write or revise. or in consideration OF his having
written or revised any textbook or other printed or
written matter for use in any school or schools. or to
induce the use in any school Of any particular text
book or printed matter. or to teach or expound ans
doctrine, dogma. or theory with intent to influence
opinion in favor Of any particular governmental action
or public policy advocated By or beneficial to such per-
son, firm or corporation or the business in which he
or IL may be engaged"
In regard 20 newspaper propaganda by public utili-
ties, Senator Walsh proposes that newspapers using
such matter be forbidden the mails, unless such matter
BE- designated as paid Advertising"
The bills introduced by Senator walsh would indi-
cate that he is considerably exercised over the revela-
tions brought out by the Federal Trade Commission in
vestigation. and. following the usual custom of sena-
tors, proposes prohibitory legislation as = remedy. The
proposed laws probably will do no harm, but il is more
or less . reflection upon the intelligence Of the Amer
lean people TO imply by statute that they lack suffi-
eient diseernment 70 spot propaganda.
The menace Of this propaganda is probably greatly
exaggerated. The American people have sufficient in
telligence TO handle the public utilities problem with
cut further numbering Of the statutes with prohibitory
laws which serve no useful purpose. If the school
boards or faculties are disseminators Of propaganda,
IS the bill would imply, the voters have the power and
intelligence 10 cope with the situation without inter
frence from the state o. federal governments.
Relative 70 the proposed amendment to the postal
regulations. the newspapers will not raise serious OBJ
lection. The theory that they are disseminating such
propaganda would he exploded IL the senators would
take the time 70 explore the vastehsskets Of the daily
newspaper offices 70 which practically all propaganda
Of every description is promptly consigned.

The Need for United Action

Much has been said relative to the failure of the
growers Of the Lower Rio Grande Valley to organize
20 protect their individual and collective interests; but
any criticism in this respect which may have been d.
rected toward them is equally applicable to Valley
shippers.
The hearing AZ Harrington Saturday. in which pro-
posed changes in car icing rules were vigorously op-
posed by the shipping interests OF the Valley. is n case
in point. According to the notice sent out by the car
ris-s. application for the proposed change was made By
one or more Valley shippers, who probably acted upon
n Misunderstanding Of what the proposed changes would
entail.
on several occasions protests have been filed BY
shippers acting Independently, many Of the protests
being fully justified and others based upon misunder-
standing or failure to scquaint themselves with prob
sble results.
This has by no means bsen confined 70 the Lower
Rio Grsnde Valley. Throughout the entire South
western territory, and presumably in other territories.
ehippes and receivers, acting independently. have to no
small extent contributed 20 the present muddled rate
condition which is reactinE to the disadvantage Of both
shippers and carriers.
The Lower Rio Grande Valley is confronted with
numeous rate and refrigeration poblems which can only
be solved throcgh the medium Of united action. Ship
pers working Independently could not hope to achieve
the results possible through the medium of an organ
ization. Their well meaning efforts often serve 70
further muddle the situation, and they as well as other
shippers, their customers and the producers. are af-
fected thereby.
There il no logical reason why the shippers Of me
Lower Rio Grande Valley should not be organized to
carry on the campaign for adjustment and equalization
Of freight and refrigeration rates. They should be SO
organized that they could present q concrete program
which would have the support Of every Valley shipper.
= program which would be far more satisfactory to the
carriers than the present medley Of demands and pro-
tests. The fact should be taken into consideration that
the carriers are interested in the development Of the
Valley. II is true they are going to get all the traffic
will bear. but the Valley will secure far more conces-
sions and ecurtesies from them IL demands or requests
are presented by a well organized body and the carriers
are aware that such demands or requests represent the
sombined sentiment Of Valley shippes.
Shippers should also bear in mind that their inter-
ests are mutual in this respect; that any advantage
which may accrue 70 one will accrue to all. and that
the major benefits Of reductions or concessions will be
PASSED on 70 the producer.
Several efforts have been made 10 organize the ship
rsrs for this specific purpose, but little progress has
been made. However. in view Of the present situation.
a "a probable that inauguration Of a movement along
this line would be productive Of results.
