but a small minority; let us step
out from the center of our greater
cities, and we are at once in an
other world, a world in which there
still are homes.
Possibly our world will conquer
and absorb that one, drawing all the
country magnetically into cities, and
all the cities into the new life and
the novel code. But perhaps the
family and the countryside will win;
perhaps we of the cities are ulti-
mately sterile, and flourish now only
because of the health and vigor
that flow to us in every generation
from the village and the town.
Let that stream run dry, and we
shall face again the problems of
reproduction and continuance; the
species will assert itself anew against
the individual; love once more may
mean marriage, and marriage, chill
dren. We are sports and freaks,
and the race may pass us by.
1t is just possible that when we
are gone posterity will not care to
initiate us, and that the world which
we make, heavy with wealth and
bright with young ideas, will be in
herited by the children of those
who stand aside from us today, look
ing with doubt upon our great cities,
and with hostility upon our care
less joy.
1t would not be the first time that
the race had triumphed over the
individual.

WALSH TAKES
LAST RAP AT
POWER TRUST
Stock Juggling, High Rates
Charged in Utilities
Industry.
By Times Special

By Times Special
WASHINGTON, Feb. 2O.-A pic
ture of stock juggling, inorGinate
prices for independent plants and
excessive rates in the public utility
industry with either the investor or
consumer paying the bill was laid
before the Senate by Senator
Thomas j. Walsh just before it
voted to refer his proposed investi-
cation to the Federal Trade Com
mission.
Foreseeing defeat, Walsh took
advantage of the last hour before
the vote to pour into the record
much of the documentary material
he had intended to produce at the
hearings for investigation.
Il have been accused of having
Incorporate views" Walsh said in
conclusion, "but when / think of the
mass of evidence that has come to
me during the last six months, the
nature of which is shown by these
examples, I feel like saying in the
classic language of Lord Give: I
am surprised at my own modera-
ton"
Stock Fraud Charged
In discussing securities, Walsh
quoted Secretary Melons estimate
that $1,7O0O00,OOO annually is ia
ken from the public by stock frauds.
He cited the Democratic platform
plank that declared war on such
practices.
Walsh turned to the er-increas-
ing consultations in the power in
duStry.
Il am informed on the most re-
liable authority" Walsh said, that
one of the organizers of these
great power combinations has
cleaned up within the past two or
three years something like $780,
100000. Of course, either the stocks
sold to the public have nothing back
Of them better than water or air, or
else the people of the country are
obliged to make up the amount in
the excess rates which they are
obliged to pay"
Stock Prices Phenomenal
Walsh disclosed how the prices
of stocks in the great holding COM
panies had scared in the past few
years. From 1921 to 1925, American
Gas Company went from 40 to 179;
American Light and Traction Com
pany went from 112 to 249; Ameri-
can Water Works and Electric Com
pany went from to 200; Midwest
Utilities, the insult Company, went
from "a to 112 and the North Ameri-
can Company went from 46 "to the
almost inconceivable figure of 687"
During this time, Walsh said, the
cost of producing electrical energy
dropped greatly, but there was prac-
tically no decline whatever in the
price Prices of other commodities
dropped so per cent.
