must have enough clerks on hand to give adequate service during the peak shopping hours, while at other times during the day half the clerks may not have enough to do to keep them busy.
 But the merchant does not think of making an extra charge for the time his clerks are not busy.
 It is just like trolley company which must have suttclent equip ment to take care of passengers during the rush hours, and an cver- plus of equipment during the non. rush hours.
 Or a railroad company which must have enough equipment to move travel during the most popu- lar time for travelling, especially along the commuting lines. But neither the trolley company nor the railroad company thinks 0. extra charges for the extra equip ment.
 Other instances could be men, toned.
 Some time ago an electrical utility speaker blandly stated that certain | improved facilities had been provid. ed by his company and the public naturally would be expected 10 pay for the improved facilities through the various rates on the bills. Ye the company adds interest on in vestment to it's overhead, which tn, public also pays.
 | Factored out completely l amounts to this: That the public pays for the plants through the rates which include interest, depreciation and everything else, while the com panies own the plants.

OFFICIAL STATISTICS ON OIL

Ones regard for Government sta tistics is not enhanced by con- temptation of what has been said about the petroleum supply.
 It is necessary to go back three and a half years to obtain the pro- per perspective. On September 5, 1926, the special Oil Conservation Board of the Coolidge Administra- tion issued its report "after study ing the country petroleum situ- ation for more than a year and half"
 The board consisted of Messrs. Work, Wilbur, Hoover and Dwight r. Davis. It was quite a board, with Mir. Hoover, a stirring believer in the impeccability of statistics, on it.
 What did the report say? Merely that the supply of oil in sight would do for only six years.
 "The total present reserves in pumping and flowing wells in the proven sands" said the report, "has been estimated at about four and a half billion barrels, which is theoretically but six years supply, though of course it cannot be eX- fro ctad co uuickIv ''
 Then the report went into detail, showing that half the current pro- duction of the time was coming from about four per cent of the wells, and that only the fortuitous discovery of new wells would main- tain the supply.
 It was quite an impressive report | But of the six years, more than three have passed, and instead ol there being tendency to have less More oil than we need has beer produced, and there has been mucl oil depression in the western field because the demand has not equal led the supply.
 Either the famous Oil Conscrva ton Board guessed wrong or it
 figures were bad.

THE PRESS AND THE DRYS

Among the 14 points presented by the Women's National Committee for Law Enforcement before the con- gressional committee yesterday was the following paragraph, culled from the Associated Press dispatch:
 Tt was said the organization felt that the press, which has been in the past and should be now a moral and civic asset ought without re- gard to the personal opl1lons or owner and editor, to give lair repre- sentation of the views of law abid- ing people and the government than to continued attacks upon the (dry) law"
 The Herald has given each side to this controversy as much space as they provided in news events,
 The Herald has published con- munications from both sides.
 The Herald has given the drys be- fore the committee as much front page display as the vets received
 The Herald will continue along the same fair lines, irrespective of the "personal opinions" of the pub fishers, the editors, the b-editors the reporters, the composing room force and the office boys.
 So far as the editorials of the pub lication are concerned, not >even the drys can influence them.
 Neither can the vets.
 What we say is based upon con. viction and such logic as we car command.
 If our deductions do not appeal tt everybody it is because we hav' never deluded ourselves with th' thought that such thing is remote ly possible, probable or advantage ous.

PADLOCkS, ROPES, AND THE
 PROBE OF HOTEL BLAZE

For some time padlocked hotels have connotatcd prohibition enforce ment. It remained for a fire in hotel on Main street to demonstrate that there can be other types of pad locks,
 The paddock on q door barring cgrcss in the hostelry in question is vesdgation leading to such action as the authorities may see fit to take on the basis of the available evil dence. But it has been firmly estab- lished through pre-death statement by the only victim of the fire that he did not try to make his fatal attempt at escape down a rope be- cause of d padlocked or barred door, He was prevented from making any other attempt at escape because Of fumes and smoke and unfortunately was unable to hold to the rope.
 Edward Johnson, therefore, cam4 10 his death as a result of utilizing q means of emergency escape de- manded by the law. which requires
 that all n-fircproof hotels not
 having fire escapes be equipped with
 rope ladders in rooms. These usual
 ly provide ready means of escape
 but there is always the danger Of ar : elderly person losing his hold, az Johnson did, and falling 10 tn. . ground.
 The police have much on theil hands in Investigating this Mali f street tra gedy. The ultimate outcome
 no doubt will be that places whicl are the abode of lodgcrs will rcceiv' = far as those leasing such premise will be made fully acquainted wit } the law and their duties toward tn

 bile among the first things that hap
 pen is he must make himself ac quaintcd with the rules Of the road . There seems no reason at all wh II hotel and lodging house keeper - should not be compelled to mak Il themselves Conversant with in l. laws affecting such establishments. 'I In the case under discussio j. there seems 10 be some doubt as
 whether this knowledge was proper E ly asSimilated before the tragedy. T l. understand the law thoroughly afte 2t tragedy unfortunately is too late

STEEL INDUSTRY BATTLE FORESEEN
Merger Plans Probably Mean
 Fight for Supremacy

New York, March 1S.-OP)-A frec-for-all battle in the steel indus try seemed certain today with the announcement that directors of the Bethlehem Steel Corporation ana Youngstown Sheet & Tube company had approved plans for a billion dol lar merger.
 Approval was announced yester- day after board meetings held here by the Bethlehem corporation and in Youngstown, Ohio, by the 1ounss- town company. A special meeting oi the Youngstown stockholders has been called for April to either con- summate or reject the consolidation plans.
 Soon after announcement was made of the directors action came word of opposition 10 the project. This opposition revolved around the fact that the merger would create an organization capable of produc- ing approximately 13,000,000 tons ingot annually, making it the sec ond largest steel producer in the country.
 What this merger would do for Bethlehem, it could do for Republic Steel corporation, company recent ly formed through a series of acqui- sitions and a factor in the indus try. Hence, Republic is casting long, ing eyes toward the Youngstown company.

thereupon withdrew his offer. A Muscle Shoals Commission appoint. ed by President Coolidge submitted it's findings in December, 1925. The majority urged government opera ton only if private disposition prov ed impossible. The minority rejected government operation and held private leases indispensable.
 In 1926, Congress created a joint committee to consider bids for leas- ing the Government properties at Muscle Shoals. The Committee could obtain none that was satisfactory. Congress adopted a joint resolution laying down a policy of permanent government operation of Muscle Shoals on May 25, 1928. This was four days before adjournment President Coolidge did not sign the joint resolution and the Supreme Court held unanimously in May. 1929, that the Presidents action was pocket veto" under the provisions of the Constitution.
 What is being done about Muscl. Shoals at present is a consideration of lobbying activities in connection with this monster engineering feat A curious wording in section 124 of National Defense Act of 1916, un- der which work was begun at the | Shoals, is responsible for at least some of the tug-of-war about the dam. This section concluded by say l ing: The plant or plants provid- l ed for under this act shall be l constructed and operated sole ly by the Government and not in conjunction with any other [ 1 on by private enterprise"
 The first citation Is used by those fayoring leasing Muscle Shoals; the second, by those favoring govern ment operation. On the one hand, it is claimed that the private fertilizer interests, if they cannot gain control of Muscle Shoals, want it operated by the Government for power. Or the other, that the power interests if they cannot control the Musclz Shoals development, want it operat- cd for fertilizers.
 All "private interests" therefore are not tugging against Government operation. The fertilizer interests, i and when convinced that they can not get hold of it, are in favor O the plan of Government operation for power, rather than Governmen operation for fertizer production ant power.
 Meanwhile Muscle Shoals i ready for action. It is producing ant selling power, but not to capacity Ii Congress and the President cal agree on plan to operate the plan

FARM DISTRICTS
 LOSE POPULATION
AZ Per Cent Of Counties Show
 Decrease in Numbers

Washngton,> Aug. 26 UP)- While the country as a, whole was gaining 16.1 per cent in population from 1920 to 1880. the population in 42 per cent of the nations 3012 counties. decreased, final census fig ures revealed today.
 These figures showed more clearly than any others the concerted move ment from farm to city. Most oi the counties which lost population were in rural sections.
 Of the 3,073 counties, 12SS had less inhabitants this year. One Stark County, III, remained exactly the same with a population of g. 693. Thirty-one others did not exist in 1920
 The increasing area in which popuAation is declining rather thar gaining i3 illusrated by comparison with former census figures. In 1920 population dropped in 1,0S2 coun. ties. while in 1910, only 769 coun ties registered decreases.
 The situation IS more surprising in view of the fact only one state Montana, showed a smallerN popula. tion this year than in 1920. Severa others would have lost in popula, ton. however if their cities had no' overcome large losses in the rura counties.

'Legs" Diamond Sought On Boat
 In Hotel Mans Disappearance

New York, Aug. 2C P'-The ar- rest of John Negs) Diamond. mo- torious gangster beliaved to be en route to Europe, was sought by the police today in an effort to clear up the disappearance of an upstate hotel keeper thought, to have been slain bN beer racketeers.
 The hotel man, Harry Weston, was last seen at Diamonds country place at Acra, N. Y. early Saturday. Wes- ton, owner of a roadhouse at Lake katrine, near Kingston, had received a telephone message to drive his car to Diamonds place The bloodstain- ed car, with an empty shell on the floor, was found yesterday in a Brooklyn garage.
 Harry Klein. who said he was a beer runner and Diamonds chauf- feur told police he had driven the car from Diamonds Acra place to Brooklyn, where it was to have bten driven off a pier.
 Klein was arrested in the raid Saturday on a Brooklyn apartment where police seized one of the most extensive arsenals ever found. in this city.
 Diamond, whose record includes g arrests, five of them for murder, and one small sentence, is believed to be aboard the Baltic due to land at Cobh, Ireland. Police there have been asked to hold him.
 Seizure of the arsenal is believed to have forestalled gang war for control of New York's liquor supply.
