ABOUT POLITICS
By II. G. Teigan

Some progress is being made along
the lines of public ownership these
days.
Both houses of congress have passed
resolutions approving government ope-
ration of the huge Muscle-Shoals pow
er project. The senate some time
ago passed the Norris resolution and
the house just last week adopted the
Norm resolution. Both resolutions
are substantially the same and the
differences are being adjusted in con-
ference in order that an identical
measure may be passed by both houses
before adjournment.
At the same time that congress is
proceeding to do something along pub
lie ownership lines, the Federal Trade
Commission is sticking the harpoon
into the power octopus.
Operations Exposed.
The investigation into the power
trusts operations by the Federal
Trade Commission, it will be remem-
bered, came about as result of
resolution by Senator Thomas j.
Walsh of Montana, adopted by the
senate about two months ago. Senator
Walsh attempted to have the investi-
CATION conducted by a committee of
the senate. Friends of the power
trust, however, fought this move Wig
orously and the senate by compare
lively small margin, voted to entrust
this important investigation to the
Federal Trade Commission. The COM
mission as now constituted is far
from progressive and the power SEN
ators believed that little harm to
their big baby would come from an
investigation by the commission.
But it appears now that things
are not going so well for the trust.
The commission is really performing
better than had been anticipated.
Thus far the work of investigation
has been wonderfully effective and
there have resulted some startling
revelations.
Control Schools, etc.
1t has been shown that the power
trust has supplied the public schools
with it's literature and it has also been
shown that text books favorable to
public ownership in use in the pub
lie schools and in state universities,
state normal schools and other state
educational institutions, have been
successfully weeded out as a result
of the activities of the power trusts
representatives.
That the power trust has something
at stake cannot be disputed. Its net
profits are enormous. Perhaps no
other industry is faring so well these
days as is the electric light and power
industry. And the power companies
want the profits to continue.
During the year 1927 the Standard
Gas and Electric company, which owns
a controlling interest in the Northern
States Power Company, had net oper-

forced repeal by the legislature of
the states liability for Mothers pen
sionS.
Mr.. Simpson has plenty of ammu-
milton. If he has been following the
exposes of the governors political
performances, in the Farmer-Labor
press during the past two years, he
will not be short of material to make

SEEK AID AT
CONVENTIONS
Proposals That Farmers Attend
National Conventions Gains
Hearty Support.

Chicago-Middle west farmers are
organizing to carry their fight for
farm relief to the national conven-
tons.
Determined that theirs should be
the loudest voice at the conventions,
particularly the republican meeting,
the farmers are preparing for a con-
centration of their forces to demand
that the national parties place the
farm issue before all others.
Governor Adam McMullen at Neb-
raska first suggested the move and the
proposal was received with marked
enthusiasm in parts of the farm belt
Illinois farmers started move which
It was announced from Des Moines
that Iowa farmers also would meet to
debate the problem.
c. B. Steward, secretary of the Neb.
raska Farm Bureau federation, wired
the Kansas City Chamber of COM
merce that arrangements must be
made to accommodate 100000 farmers
at the convention.
J. F. Reed, president Of the Mime
sofa Farm Bureau federation, said the
Kansas City convention would have
to save the face of the party" by tax
ing definite action on farm belief.
Minnesota leaders say thousands of
farmers from the near northwest
would join in the move.
Iowa farmers have been called upon
to meet in protest of the veto. Many
Missouri farmers will be prepared to
join in the move, it was indicated.
Kansas leaders have remained silent

ating earnings of 500, 2O9,621. This
is a gain of $4,500,0OO over the year
1926. What is most astonishing,
though, is that the net earnings are
nearly As per cent of the gross income.
Profits Enormous.
The Northern States Power COM
pany, which operates mostly in the
state of Minnesota, Jared even better
than the parent concern. During
1927 the Northern States Power COM
pany had net earnings of $15,O92, 1853
and gross earnings of $29,SO3,1 1853.
Thus, it's net earnings were more than
so per cent of the gross.
The people of the country have
been put to sleep by the chlorophorm-
ic propaganda OF the power trust.
They do not realize how terribly they
are being gouged by this giant mon
opoly. And the worst of it is that the
major portion of its loot is taken di-
rectly out of the pockets of the dear
people"
About a year ago the Electrical
World, organ of the electric light and
power industry, stated that:
"Out of the 6S,732, 100000 kilowatt
hours generated in 1926. only Fl per
cent was used for light-yet that 81
per cent returned $1,O72,OOO,O0O or GA
per cent of the total central station
revenue"

the common folks of the country, paid
81 times as much for their current
as did the power consumers. In 1926
the average price of current to bower
consumers was 1.29 cents per kilowat
hour, while the average price to
lighting consumers was 1887 cents.
1t is not possible here to show fully
the rank injustice of this discrimina-
tion. All that is necessary to say is
that there is today scarcely a shadow
of justification for any difference in
the price of current for light or
power.
Senator Norris, who is primarily re-
sponsible for putting through the
resolution in congress to operate
Muscle Shoals as a government pro-
ject has exposed this outrageous dis
elimination by the power monopoly
against the common folks.

Former Attorney General George T.

HICAGO, December with
such highly combuStible sub
jects as poselyting and eligibility
providing material for fireworks
Big Ten athletic directors,
eoaches and faculty advisers assembled
for their annual sports conclaVe IN CHI
cago today. :.
While there had been no specific m
formation of a blow-oh, rumors were
thick that at least two universities
Chicago and Illinois, were reaoy 10 oe-
mand a showdown on the conference
policy of obtaining athletes and on IN
forcement of the eligibility rules.
Matters of policy were expected 10
consume virtually all the discussion of
foot ball and basket ball coaches, who
already have drawn up schedules for
1929. Coaches in minor sports, however,
had the long task of schedule making
ahead of them.
The cases of MayeS McLaln, Iowa S
charging Indian fullback. and Allan
Holman, Ohio State quarterback, who
came to the Big Ten after playing foot
ball at other colleges, were expected TO
be decided or else referred to the COM
mittee on eligibility for immediate
action. Several protests have been made
against these two players.
Indications that DR.. John Wilce,
resigned Ohio State foot ball coach, may
announce his future plans at the two

interest. Coach Wilce has been reported
to have received coaching offers from
Harvard, Dartmouth and Nebraska L.

n EITHER the Dewitt nor Gonzaga
N squads planned heavy work to-
NJ day in preparation for their
/ annual foot ball game tomor-
row at Clark Griffith Stadium
upon the outcome of which will depend
the District prep school title. The
contest will start at 2 o'clock.
Dewitt planned to confine its practice
this afternoon to a light polishing drill
while Gonzaga was to attempt nothing
more strenuous, and was doubtful If 1t
even would take the gridiron
Bob Gallagher, star center, may not
be able to start for Dewitt because OF
water on his knee, and GonZaga may
have to begin the game without the
services of BuSSink Huntington and
Pinckney, all regulars. and all OF whom
are suffering from influenza.
AS the game approaches it is becom-
ing increasingly apparent that close
battle will be in order. GonZaga had
been given slight edge until the past
few days, in view of the PUPPIES more
impressive record this season, but the
poor physical condition of several men,
bers of the Gonzaga squad is expected
10 weaken the / StreeterS. A victory
for Dewitt would make three for that
school against one for Gonzaga since
the teams started meeting annually in
1924. and win for the Purple would
give it two victories against as many
for Dewitt Dewitt won in 1924, SO to 0,
when the schools started meeting.
There was no game in 1925. GonZaga
was the winner in 1926. 33 to 0, and
last Fall Dewitt triumphed, to 0.
Should Gallagher not be able to play
center for Dewitt. Joe Cummings,
lighter player, probably will hold forth
at that post.
Duvall reserve back. and Shipman,
a second-String lineman. probably will
get in the fray for GonZaga if some of
the ailing regulars do not show i'm
provement between now and game time.
In preparing Cor its season Tech High
Schools basket ball squad will scrim-
mage against Gallaudet's tosSers next
Wednesday at Kendall Green and later
will line up against George Washington
and American University baSketers.
Artie Boyd. new Tech coach, believes
that Scrimmages with college squads
will afford his boys more valuable
practice than would be obtained
through early season games.
Boyd now has cut his squad to 80.
These boys are being sent through their
