WaSIlingtonIS Wiling

Take Boulder Dam, and who
doubts that Washington would heave
one great sigh of relief if the seven
interested states would only agree to
finance, construct and operate 1t
themselves?
Who believes that Washington
would not gladly give Muscle Shoals
to Tennessee, Alabama. or both, or
even a larger group of states. if
they would undertake to complete
the job?
The idea of some community, or
section acquiring an industrial boom
through the development of hydro
electric power at Uncle Sans ex-
pense. has its attractions and is
coming to play more than minor
part in this controversy.
1t is an idea that should be given
careful consideration, especially by
those communities which have no
water power for Uncle Sam to de-
velop, which must depend on coal,
oil or gas for their electricity, and
which face no hope of relief through
the So-called government ownership
policy, unless it is made to include
all kinds of power plants.

More Ways Than One

There are thousands of undevel-
oped power sites in this country.
Some of them have been acquired
by private interests, but many still
belong to the public.
1t is generally assumed that the
public" when used in this sense
means the federal government, and
that nothing can be done to protect
public interest, except by and
through the federal government.
All this, too, in spite of the fact
that Governor Smith has talked
continually about his efforts to have
the state of New York develop a
power site on the st. Lawrence
river.
If New York can develop a power
site on the st. Lawrence, which is
an international stream, why can
not other state develop power sites
on streams that lie wholly within
their limits?
Does any one suppose that the
federal government would interfere
if state, or a city were TO under
take power development on its own
account?

Norris fBeCaIned'

Whatever else may be said of it,
Hoover's action seems to have taken
some wind out of Senator Norris
sails, as was plainly indicated by
the tone and tenor of the latter'S
Saturday night address.
Instead of ballyhooing farm re-
lief, as most people expected he
would, Senator Norris fell back on
water power. Undoubtedly he knows
a great deal about that subject, but
one would hardly guess it from what
he said.
His address ran to phrases which
became threadbare twenty-five years
ago. Though bearing down heavily
on such hackneyed expressions as
monopoly" octopus" trust" and
special interest" he offered little
to throw light on the power prob
lem as it now exists.
Herbert Hoover, he declared, was
opposed to government ownership,
whether national. state or munich
pal, which, in his opinion, offered
the sole hope of escape.

Local Ownership

Whether consciously or not, the
people have been misled in this
power issue. 1t has been, and is
being presented in such a way as
to create the impression that moth
ing can be done except through
Washington; that if congress fails
to act and federal money is not APP
propriated, states and municipalities
have no choice but to let themselves
be gobbled up by the power trust,
whatever that may be.
AS a matter of fact, there is not
state or municipality, with an
available power site at hand but
could get it for the asking as far
as the federal government is con-
cerned.
The real trouble is that states and
municipalities have little stomach
for power development, and that,
though perfectly willing TO see their
Uucle Sam put up the money and
do the work, they shy at the thought
of undertaking it on their own &C
count.

The Solution

i Il forcing the opponents to lead
from a minor tenace to a major
tenace.
South leads the king of hearts.
and then a small heart, which East
wins. East. however. is now forced
to lead from his minor tenace in

North winning the trick. North
now wins another club trick, South
discarding his last spade. North
then leads his diamond, South TAX
ing the last two tricks with the king

1t is interesting to note that if
South had led a low heart at the
first trick, East would have won
the trick and returned heart.
North and South would then have
only three of the six tricks. Like
wise, if the opening lead is a spade,
only three tricks can be won.

taking workers out of positions

Instead of being given easier work,

handing quicker reactions and more
responsibility, and she succeeded
promptly.
The arbitrator for one of the larg-
est clothing manufacturers in the
country pointed out that industry
which is now run on the piece work
scale has been tremendously accel-
Grated.
The employees pace is set by the
machine which he operates, or by
the fastest employe in the shop.
This intense specialization has
frustrated initiative and creative
impulse. In the clothing industry
for example, $50 processes are used
in making a suit of clothes, so that
the individual employe can have lit
tie pride in the finished job.
A study of the mental aspects OF
industry must be made to determine
means for permitting mental devel-
opment as we'll as for providing a
means of livelihood.

HERBERT HOOVER pomises to
L Il call a special session of con-
gress in the spring if he is elected,
and if the regular winter session
fails to provide the necessary legis-

This is quite the most sensible
promise yet made by either candi-

keep it. In the second place, he
justly can be held responsible if he
fails to keep it.
Some of the other promises are
obviously too dependent on congress

ernor Smith, for instance, promises
a commission to tell him what to
tell congress it ought to do, which
is all right, except that it offers no
assurance that congress will even

Editor Times-Being a casual OBJ

by the Republican candidate for
prosecutor of Marion county, in
which he is quoted as saying that
the only determined opposition to
his candidacy came from the ranks
of the well-know hijackers, boot
leggerS and gamblers of this city.
If his statement were sincere it
would seem that the proper dispo-
Sition of the opposition would be
the county Jail, and the Republican
candidate is clothed with the power
to commence the prosecution. But
his statement is not sincere, being
only political bunk.
Is the Republican candidate try
ing to place every voter who casts
his vote for his opponent in the
class of the hijacker and the boot
logger and the gambler? Is he try
ing to make it appear that only the
riffraff of the city will support his
opponent, and thereby try to inf1u-
ence the law-abiding citizens of In
diana to vote for him?
Thousands Of law-abiding Demo-
Gratis and Republicans undoubtedly
will support the opponent of the
Republican candidate, and will do
so because his record as a citizen
merits their support.

TIOOVER should not dwell too
Il i long on the idea that public
ownership of water power is social
ism, for millions who behold the
shadow of the coming utility trust
are for the public proposition.
Europe has entered upon the pub
lie deevlopement of water power
very extensively and very success
fully and it has been financed by
New York banks, the same banks
which think it would be socialiStic
for America to do what American
loans have enabled Europe TO do.
The fact that New York City
cheered Hoover's dcnunciation of
public ownership does not indicate
a widespread sentiment, for as a
matter of fact the rest of the United
States puts its hand on its pocket
book whenever New York City
cheers an economic proposition.

NEW YORK, July 10.-Puttin2 inside pitches on the outside of the park is the business of the Big Four of home run hitters. in the National League.
 It's a pretty batting race that Hornsby, Bottomley, Hack Wilson and Bissonette are making. It's a race that's adding still greater punch to a gripping pennant con test in the senior circuit
 The four barons Of Diff are grouped so closely that when Bot tomley and Bissonette were tied for the lead with 15 each the oth- CT two were deadlocked for second place with IA each. Sunny Jim lost an opportunity to help his rat ing when one of his four-base blows came in game that sue cumbed to rain in the third in ming.
 Automatically the league total of homes has shot skyward and the American League with it's master clouter of all, Babe Ruth, stands second in home runs for The sea son. The National has about 2S0. approximately 30 more than the American.
 A new name in major league baseball is included among the home run brigade. It is that of Del Bissonette. 1927 International League champion. He came to Brooklyn from the Class A loop with fine record of having led the league in homers, triples and doubles last year. All pitchers still look alike to Del and his mighty bat has helped Brooklyn remain factor in the National League race.
 The other three are long distance clubbers of recognized standing, especially Hornsby and Bottom ley. Hack Wilson couldn't find the range until he changed from Giant to a Cub uniform. Hack topped the league in homers in 1926 and hit 36 doubles to finish third in that division. He came right back last year to tie Cy Will Hams for the home run leader ship and to bang out 30 doubles.
 It's just the same old story with the Rajah and Sunny Jim Bottom
