The Public's Rights

When Robert Feustel, Indiana repre-
sentative of the insult interests, denied that
his holding company takes any fees, COM
missions or gratis from subsidiary compa-
MES, he inferentially indicted every ether
holding company in control Of Indiana utili-
ties.
The insult interests, from this statement,
alone are innocent. For huge fees are taken
bv holding companies for telephone service
and the people pay. Huge levies are made
by the holding company for the local power
and light concern, and the people pay IN
heavy rates and cost.
More important than his explanation OF
the proposed car franchise was this lndlct-
ment by inference of other utility concerns.
The explanation by Mr.. Feustel was such
as to suggest that the public has many rights
and that attention should be directed to the
value of eleven millions Of dollars on which
the people will pay dividends at per cent
through all time to come.
Quite frankly, he admitted that this val
uation was much higher than the system
would bring under foreclosure of the mort
cages at the end of the receivership. He said
it was "fair" valuation as service cost.
The one element of value in the system,
outside its salvage possibilities, is the right
to use the peoples streets. The streets, pre-
sumably, belong to the people. That makes
possible the Service value of the decrepit
lines.
If the people already own these streets,
why should they pay private owners for the
value they put into the street car lines?
The proposed franchise is cold business
deal on the part of the insult interests and
the owners of bonds on the system. 1t should
be cold business in Behalf of the people. If
the lines are to be sold, the people should
have the benefit of the lowest possible price.
Private ownership and operation has
failed. It is possible that the cities of the
future will demand different system of
transportation. Both these facts suggest
that the one way to safeguard the public and
the future is public ownership of all trans
portation lines. That would insure real
service at COST"

XXTE are keen to read the book which Colonel

The average man, gifted with an ordinary sense Of
decency has been able to understand why great
statesmen plotting great power, should be immune
from the restraints of common honor which seal the
lips of individuals, respecting transactions entered
into in confidence.
DUT they have been immune, and since the closing
ID of the European slaughter house in 1918 the
giants of all allied nations have rushed into print
at so much word telling hidden truths often to
the lasting detriment of their own countries.
So, we should say, Colonel House should be per-

Of oversmoking in people with dis

1t is known that excessive in

influence of tobacco on the blood

Obviously, a man past middle life

Bobby Jones and Civil Liberties

The press announces that Bobby Jones has re-
tired from golf, that he will be shot in some golf
movies at fabulous figure, and that he then will
assume the practice of law in dead earnest.
We wish Bobby luck in the career OF jur1st, but
if evidence hand is prophetic of the future he is
not going to seek to emulate Clarence barrow and
lend the weight of his prestige to the cause of jus
tice for the underdog.
Several Communists, among them two girls of far
than average pulchritude, are facing trial for
their lives in Bobby's home town. They may be pun
ished with death under obsolete statute which
the prosecuting attorney has revived.
The prosecutor publicly and frequently has an
nounced that he means what he says and intends to
hang their scalps very literally about his belt.
Certain lovers of the old Jefersonian tradition of
free speech in Atlanta. while abhorring Communist
dogmas, believed that these radicals had a right to
be heard. They doubted they should be treated as
murderers and traitors. Therefore they protested
vigorously against the antics of the Atlanta Black
Shirts and demanded justice for the accused Com
munists
One prominent Atlanta had a happy
thought Why not go to Bobby Jones' who is an at
torney in Atlanta between golf tournaments? The
golf king might obtain fair hearing for these Reds
even In Atlanta
So she sought Bobbys office. She obtained an
audience with the wizard of the green and asked him
to lend his name to the defense cause
Bobby informed her CURLY that he had no inter-
est in such matters and implied decisively that he
would be pleased greatly the space she was occupy
ing in his Office should be vacated expeditously So
she left within two minutes after she had been adj
mitted, full of assurance that girls of unorthodox
economic views would go to the gallows as far as
Bobby was concerned. 9,

indicate that the members break

son is a member Of such a family
and has, at the time of his applica-
ton, high blood pressure and thick
ening of the arteries, he is likely
to be a bad risk for the company.
In estimating the possibilities in
cases Of application for life tnsur-
ance, it is necessary because Of the
complex character of modern life
to look particularly into the occupa-
ton of the applicant.
If mans heart is slightly i'm

he does not have to work hard for
living than if he is engaged in
farming, numbering or some SINH
lar occupation.

TT would be sensible for the man
- ager to wait and see just what
sort of show he has before fixing
the price. Thus, after watching the
reactions of the first night audience
and reading the reviews, the man

ing, IT find that I have SIS show,

cy's Dilemma seems to be worth
about $1.18, and tickets at that price
will go on sale right here in the
lobby. 1t will not be necessary for
anybody to go to drug store to
get bargain"
I will admit that this might not
work. The patron who goes to the
cut rate shop and buys ticket
marked $3.50 for $1.25 has the thrill
Of imagining that he Is cheating
somebody.
If he only will stop to think he
ought to realize that this hardly
can be the case.

And when he can't get half a
house at $2.25 a patron, it is OBJ

There is no reasonable ground Of
complaint against that If only the
manager openly would admit his
state of mind. He won't do that.
Sometimes on dire and distressful
evenings the treasurer will let a

Frosted Chocolate
THEN there is the delay in time

THEN there Is the delay in time.
Il A few enterprising clerks begin
on the order as soon as the prospect
appears at the fountain, but this is
a system too reckless for most men
in the business.
Obviously the customer may
change his mind or drop dead on his
way from the counter to the cashier
and back. In that case a frosted
chocolate would be thrown on the
market.
Generally it is held that the first
bid is only in the nature of pre-
liminary negotiation and that actual
transfer of the drink shall not even
be contemplated until the buyer &C
tually has the legal tender of that
particular store in his hand and is
physically present to execute the
deal.
If a sandwich is desired as well as
a drink the process is even more
elaborate. At Mr.. Blanks store, for
instance, these are separate &C
counts.
Here the buyer not only must
learn from the soda clerk the total
to which he must obngate himself,
but also the precise division be-
tween food and drink. And he must
remember the fractions all the way
to the cashiers window, where he
will receive a pink and white slip.
1t does not seem reasonable to
believe that all this is done out of
sheer malice. 1t must be convent
ent for somebody. But for whom?

Luncheon Club Bunk

A FEW days after the November
N election, seven distinguished
Democrats, including Senator Rob-
inson, minority leader of the upper
house, announced they proposed
that the two parties get together
on a program of relief work.
Majority Leader Watson accepted
the idea on behalf of the Repub-
icans, and just before congress
assembled, President Hoover held a
conference with Robinson.
Then President Hoover outlined a
program which was so palpably
loose, vague, and inadequate as to
find little favor outside those pro-
fessional politicians who feel bound
to dance the party Jig regardless.
When certain Democrats refused
to join the chorus, as they hardly
could do without sacrificing their
self-respect, the President de-
nounced them for playing politics"
And that's where the dream Of
meeting a great emergency with
MONDAY luncheon club psychology
has landed.

which you are member holds lis
meeting this week, devote few
minutes to discussion of the unem-
ployment problem, with special ref
erence to the needs of your fellow
members.
Try to account for every person
connected with your organization.
Find out whether they have jobs,
and, If not, whether they are in
need of any kind. keeping in mind
the pledge of helpfulness by which
you mutually are obligated.
If it is thought advisable, appoint
some wise person to call on the
needy brother" or SISTER" discov-
cred through this roll call, and let
him see to 1t that necessary relief
Is furnished.
Remember that to some people
being out CT job is worse than the
fear of going to he'll. worse than
losing their social position, and
worse than many other experiences
regarded as personal calamities.
And remember, too, that being
out of a job just now is the common
lot of hosts OF perfectly fine people.
It isn't the condition merely of the
careless and lazy.
This Is Golden Rule Week. If
You were out Of job, what would
You have some other man do for
you?

ROBERT KOCRs BIRTH
Dec, IL

Dec. IL
ON Dec. II, 1843, Robert Koch, a
" famous German physician and
diScoverer of the tuberculosis germ,
was born at Klausthal, Prussia.
He was nearly 80 when he began
the researches in bacteriology upon
which his fame chiefly rests. While
a member of the imperial board Of
health in Berlin, he invented new
appliances for microscopic work
and new ways OF staining speci-
mems which proved of inestimable
value to medical science.
Soon after he had isolated the
tuberculosis germ, Koch was made
chief OF the German commission
which was sent to Egypt and India
to investigate cholera.
AS a result, he discovered in 1888
the cholera germ and in the same
year published method of inocu-
lation to prevent anthrax.
In 1905 he was commissioned by
the German government to investi-
gate West African sleeping sick
ness" and in the same year was
awarded the Nobel prize for medi-
cine. He died in 1910.

Rewards of Medals and

IT'S the Christmas season in the
4 world of science as well as else~
where. The scientific Santa Claus
In the guise Of various societies,
foundations and institutions. Is
handing out his annual award OF
medals and honors.
The Royal Society, Great Brit<
ian's oldest and most famous scien-
tific society, announces the award
Of the Darwin medal to Professor
Johannes Schmidt of Copenhagen.
DR.. Schmidt spent many years OF
his life sailing The oceans in a tiny
vessel hunting for the birthplace
Of the eel.
His studies solved a problem seY~
eral centuries old when he dis
covered that the eels bred In the
Caribbean. from where they made
their ways to the rivers OF both
Europe and America.
The Royal Society also announces
the award of the Copley medal to
Sir William Bragg. Bragg extended
the sight of man beyond the micro-
scope by showing how the invisible
X-rays might be used to reveal the
actual arrangement Of the atoms Of
matter within crystals.
The society also awarded the
Hughes medal to Sir Chandrasekhar
Venkataram Raman, professor Of
physics in the University of Cali
cutta, for his work on the diffusion
of light.
Santa Claus has been particularly
nice to Ranlan this year. A few
days ago announcement was made
that he had been given the Nobel
prize in physics.

Tears of Managers

NTHEN theatrical managers moan
w about the radio or the weather
or backgammon usually am able
to restrain my tears.
1t seems to me that one of the
reasons why the populace does not
fall over itself to buy tickets lies In
the fact that the box Office. In spite
of recent reforms, still remains a
false front.
All too often the box ONCE Is the
worst of all possible places at which
to buy tickets.
If the show is a success, most of
the best seats are elsewhere. If, on
the other hand, trade Is not SO
brisk, tickets may be obtained more
cheaply at one Of the cut rate agen-
cies.
In other words, the New York the
aterS do not conduct a one-price
