Not OverprOductiOn

Whenever we hear some one procainoino ovar-
production as being the sole cause of our present
national depression, let's give consideration to the
Chinese "ten-year plan"
1t contemplates a merchant fleet of at least eight
million tons, reclamation of three hundred million
acres OF farm land, one hundred thousand miles of
railway construction many other thousands of miles
OF highways, vast building of factories the emplov
ment OF at least two hundred million tons of coal
and twelve million tons of Steel improvement of ex
lStng canals whose overflow is costing the lives
OF tens OF thousands Of Chinese river flood control
irrigation systems, vast network of telephone and
telegraph lines the development of three giant ports
one of which would have capacity equal to New
York harbor, reconstruction of cities with modern
sanitation, water power, minerals agricultural and
reforestation Developments on a stupendous scale.
All that, William Philip Simms points out.
already has been tentatively submitted to the labor Of
flee at Geneva with view to obtaining international
cooperation.
But China is fiat on its back, scourged, as Simn1s
puts it, "by God and man"
China's population is estimated at 45OOoOO0O.
nearly four times that of the United States
Raising the per capita consumption of the Chi
nese to the point now prevailing in the United States
of America in it's time of depression would start
every factory in this country working on a twenty
four-hour basis.
So let's not accept the overproduction diagnosis
as the answer to our ills
The capacity of the world to consume is unlimited
The fault lies in the lack of balance between what
the consumer can afford to buy and what the pro-
ducer is able to produce If some economic genius
could break that evil charm and thereby get action
on the worlds Unsuitable hunger for creature COM
forts, what we now call the depression soon would
be nothing but a memory.

Peoples Voice

Editor Times-The citizens of this
city should be proud that they have
such a paper as yours, fearless in
their defense and at all times show
ing how their money is squandered.
/ read with interest your editorial
Of Sept. %, in which you stated that
any ten citizens could at any time
appear before the public service
commission. What for? You must
have meant this as a joke.
l can not understand why we re-
quire few men placed in any COM
mission to regulate all business in
this state, and especially men who
could not make a living outside of
politics at any line in competition
with men of brains.
Reading your paper, we have come
to the conclusion that this particu-
lar commission is merely to legalize
any graft that the utilities care to
put on the people. Other commits
sions merely are clearing houses for
tax money, as the people on a whole
must realize that, to graft. politi-
clans must spend money for their
rakeof.

Talk 1t Over

Is there any real reason that the wages
of workers, the profits of business men, the
surplus of factories should go to the utility
profteers?
Is there any real reason why the same
rule Of valuation fixed by and for these util-
tiles during the days Of initiation should not
be applied in days of defation?
For years the utilities have collected on
the theory that they had the right to take
per cent a year on what it would cost to re-
produce their plants.
They did not even pretend that they were
collecting on money invested in the plants
They did not even blush when they asserted
the right to reap where they had not sown,
to grab as much as greed would dictate.
They collected on war prices. They cap
italized the national sacrifice. They capital
lied the patriotism Of the people.
Now prices have fallen. 1t costs less for
copper and steel. 1t costs less to hire men
to work.
But these utilities are still collecting on
the old wartime prices.
Last week three members of the public
service commission asserted that as a mat
ter of principle, the utilities should collect on
present-day prices. These three went
further and declared that and not Z
per cent is a proper return during these days
of debated profits.
Of course that decision was made in
little utility owned by a couple of small fell
lows. But what is justice for them should be
justice for the insults, the Clarkes, the
Geists, the telephone monopoly and the whole
brood of big profiteers.
If those principles were applied to the
electric and water rates Of this city, the peo-
pie would be saved at least three millions of
dollars year that now go as a tribute to
manipulation.
Last year the Clarke holding company
took out $780, 900 in dividends on an alleged
investment of $1,06O,000.
Last year Clarence Geist took out
1925, 900 in dividends on an alleged invest
ment of five million dollars.
Apply the public service commission rule
of justice and most of those dollars would
stay in this city.
Talk this over with your neighbor. Then
get together for real battle for utility
justice.

Over the Pacific

Their astounding Indifference to everything but
the one idea Of flying nonstop across the Pacific was
the dramatic thing about it, The Pangborn- Herndon
flight from Japan to the United States was so bold
and calculated, SO arrogantly defiant.
There have been many great flights; so many, in
fact that the public has exercised its right to lose
interest in them But now and then there is one so
outstanding in drama that the public can't help but
admire.
Lindbergh's fight from New York to Paris set the
mark. The trip of Kingsford-smith to Australia
eclpsed it. The Post-Gatty race around the world
in eight days topped everything off, And the fight
Of Pangborn and Herndon brings the list of mo-
mentous ones to four.
There have been other flights as long and as well
done as these, but somehow they lacked the spark
to lift them out of the commonplace These four
flights stand out above the others.
Pangborn and Herndon have earned all the credit
that can come to them. They worked quietly twelve
to eighteen hours day, for more than year pre-
pairing for their fight around the world Then on
the eve of their departure Post and Gaty snatched
the glory away from them. They flew grinly to
overtake the lightning like Post-Gatty record and
failed.
Then they pushed on to Japan and won world
wide sympathy for their battle with Japanese REQ
tape. Finally, after delay of weeks they were per-
mtted to start the long and dangerous fight to
America
They flew away over the stormy North Pacific and
as last gesture the supreme act of Indifference TO
danger they dropped their landing gear It was like
shouting slogan of America or bust-if we win we
win; if we bust, what's the diference?"
They won magnificently.

Just Every Day Sense
BY MRS. WALTER FERGUSON
WALTER FERGUSON

THERE are certain books that do not lend them
n selves to moving pictures. "Huckleberry Finn
is one of them.
The cast was well selected and the children did
what they could, but all lovers of this Twain master
piece must have suffered agonies while an epic of lit
erature was converted into slapstick comedy Only
Mark Twain himself would be able with his pen to
describe that sacrilege.
We must take it for granted that those who made
this picture never had read the book If So then the
crime is all the greater They could not have under
stood the real Huck and have left him in the end
converted to school and civilization
To achieve the usual moral ending they have
deSecrated literature. They forgot or they ner>r
knew that while Huckleberry Finn" is the story of
a boy, it is book that adults all over the world
delight in.
NOM SAWYER its predecessor, was fine pic
i ture because it deviated no more than a hairs
breadth from the way in which Twain told the story.
But "Tom Sawyer is book for children. And
"Huckleberry Finn is book for Sages.
It's subtle humor its deep philosophy its biting
satire its insight into life endear it to all and
women 1t is one of the few volumes that stay with
you through the years.
Nobody ever reads "Huckleberry Finn" just once
You either read it score of times or not at all
It's that kind of book
Moreover. it is the tale of the American boy i'm

the sounds are increased when the
patient lies down.
On the other hand, if the patient
is anemic, the sounds are likely to
be increased when the head is
elevated.
Ringing in the ears also may be
induced by smart blow on the ear,
by the presence of water, wax or
other substance in the external ear
canal.
Obviously the first method of
treatment of this symptom is care
full examination to make sure that
the external ear canal is clean, that
there is no disturbance of the ear
drum, and that there is no begin
ming of disease of the internal ear.
1t becomes possible in many
cases to control the symptoms by
proper psychological suggestion,
taking the mind away from fixation
on the ringing, and also by the use
of various medicinal preparations to
lower the threshold of perception of
the symptoms.

but that most people are usually not
aware of it until it gets so loud as
to interfere considerably with hear
ing weaker sounds.
Wegel made a study of his own
hearing with view to finding out
just how much ringing actually
occurred.
The studies were made with the
most delicate types of electrical
device, and he found that some
ringing occurred frequently, al
though not heard because of more

Ringing in the ears sounds most
frequently like the noise that is
heard when a seashell is placed at

noise may be- ringing, singing,
buzzing, ticking, Kissing or whis-
ting.

Neither Lost Head

MOST Of the dispatches an
1V1 nouncing Mr.. Morrow's death
mentioned the fact that he was
Colonel Lindbergh's father-in-law,
as though any one needed to be
told.
1t was happy conjunction of the
stars that brought these two to-
gether.
Neither lost his head over money
or fame.
Colonel Lindbergh is out in China
doing what he can to make things
easier for a few poor devils out of
the vast multitude caught in the
maelstrom of combined disaster.
Your first thought is that it's too
bad he and Anne are so far away.
But Mr.. Morrow would have had
it so.

World of Matter

GENERAL SHUTS points out
~ that the scientific view of the
universe grew gradually out of or
binary experience and the common
sense outlook.
THE world of common sense"
he says, is world of matter. of
material stuff, of real separate,
things and their properties which
act on each other and cause changes
IN each other.
TO the various things observa-
ole by the senses were added the
lmperceptible things - space and
time, invisible forces, life and the
soul. Even these were not enough.
and the supernatural was added to
the natural world.
The original inventory was being
enlarged continually and thus a
complex empirical world-view arose
full of latent contradictions. but
with solid basis of actual expe-
rlence and facts behind it.
Speaking generally, we NAV saw
That this still is substantially the
common sense view of the world
and the background of our COM
mon practical beliefs"
General SHUTS next turned to the
question of how science grew upon
this common sense foundation
The fundamental procedure If
science has been to rely on sense
observation and experiment and to
base theory on fact" he said. "Thus
the vast body of exact science arose
and all entities we're discarded
which were either inconsistent with
observed facts or for their strict
Interpretation"

Must All Be TenorS?

INCIDENTALLY, I wonder whether
Il hummers fall into the same cate
CORY as whistlers. If so, I may as
well accept my doom, for whenever
irritated or annoyed I begin softly
to carry an approximate version of
tits in the Stars" just under my
breath.
But to get back to an amateur and
hasty psychoanalysis of Professor
Charles Grey Shaw, I think there
are indications that the man is not
altogether at ease in his chosen
profession. Being insure of himself,
he flies into a pedagogic fury.
Without knowing every detail of
the Savant's life, I assume that very
likely he began to teach in some
institution less august and adult
than New York university.
He was, we may fairly suppose,
a youngish man in those days of
his novitiate. Possibly there was
a mere trace of blond hairs upon
his upper lip. Some of the boys in
the class were biggiSh, skeptical, and
scornful.

The Nineteenth Century

MYTH the growth of science in
w the nineteenth century. facts
about the universe which are hidden
from the direct and easy percep-
ton of our senses have been brought
TO light. General SHUTS lists some
Of these.
The atomic view of matter was

given status in the physical order.
which now again is being Questioned
IN the light of the conception of
space-time.
New entities like energy emerged.
old entities like forces disappeared,
the principle of the uniformity of
nature was established; the laws of
motion, OF conservation and of cleo
tro-magnetiSm were formulated:
and on their basis a closed mecha-
nlstlc order of nature was con-
structed, forming a rigid deter
ministic scheme.
Into this scheme it has been
difficult, if not impossible. to fit
entities like life and mind, and the
scientific attitude on the whole has
been to put them to a suspense ac-
count and to await developments.
AS to the supernatural. science is
or has been agnostic, if not frankly
skepticaI.
Such in general terms was the
scientific outlook of the eighteenth
century which has not yet passed
away completely. It will be no.
ticed that much of the fundamental
outlook of common sense thus has
survived, although clarified and pur-
flied by closer accord with facts.
This scientific view retained I'M
impaired and indeed stressed with
a new emphasis the things Of COM
mon sense, matter, time and space.
as well as all material or physical
entities which are capable of OBJ
servation or experimental vertical

Nineteenth century science is. in
fact, a system Of purified, gloriied
common sense. It's deterministic

common mans instructive belief in
free will; in most other respects it
conformed to the outlook of COM
mon sense"

HlSIORIC CONGhESS
October 6
ON Oct. 6, 1917, one of the most
" memorable sessions of the
United States congress ended.
This, the first session Of the
sixty-ffth congress, began by
special call on April 2, 1917, and
the same evening heard President
Wilson'S address recommending a
declaration Of war.
More legislation of the most far
reaching order was passed than in
any previous session, while the ap-
preparation ran into billions Of
dollars.
This session will be historical as
definitely marking the great trans
formation of the republic, with its
early idr Of avoiding entangling
alliances, into a mighty world power
fully and frankly recognizing that
its interests are as wide as human

Not the least interesting feature
of the session was the extraordi-

of our very largest scale producers
would in all logic have to line up
with Professor Shaw.
But when any man, collegiate or
otherwise, makes a swinging and
generalized statement about his fell
lows, there always is reason to pause
for inquiry. The person who draws
up an Indictment in which large
groups are charged with neuroti-
cisrn, defense mechanism and SO on
may be operating under some Pc
culiar quirk and stress himself.
I feel that possibly the tables
could be turned against Professor
Shaw. 1t is his argument that the
whistler lacks self confidence, and
accordingly takes out his inferior
feeling by an escape from reality.
The man who whistles "Life Is Just
Bowl of Cherries" obviously is
creating for himself some little
sphere of fantasy.

which. now is rocking the public to
it's core. I refer to the recent
statement of Professor Charles Grey
Shaw of New York university that
all whistIers are moronic.
My neutrality is based on the fact
that I never whistle. Yet 1 have a
warm sympathy for the other side,
because I have tried to on many
occasions. Mere physical incapacity
has kept me out of the ranks of the
morons.
Possibly I speak too hastily here.

Don't Have Illusions

A L CAPONE, who goes on trial
L y today for evading his income
tax, attended a football game last
Saturday, when he vas booed by
the crowd.
The crowd made just as much
noise as though it had been cheer
ing and, for a while, the scar faced
generalissimo of Chicago's under
world tried to make himself believe
there was no difference.
Surrounded by nine bodyguards,
he said he'd stick it out" but left
during che third quarter.
Don't have any illusions. The
kind of applause drawn by the
achievements of honest men is not
the kind reserved for criminals or
racketeers. The noise may sound
just as loud and the headline look
just as big, but the feeling of them
has nothing in common.

the British thermal unit and at
present before this public service
commission, the gas utilities want
this. as there is no way to check
the charge and you can gamble that
this case has been decided in favor
of the gas company long ago, but
of course there first must be a fuss
about it.
In your editorial about the ex-
cessive charges of these utilities,
power and light, water company,
and the telephone company, you say
nothing about their continual tear
ing up of our new pavements as
soon as they are laid and making
no effort to repair them with the
results that it is impossible to locate
a good pavement in this city, as
they are full of chuck holes.
This means many thousands of
dollars lost to this city and Of course
our city council smiles and thinks
anything that the utilities do is a
huge joke.
The power company not only
charges so per cent more than
should be charged, but the nerve to
place a fine on delayed payments
it is called collection or discount
charge. Try take the so-called dis
count from your bill.
The water company has mini
mum of $3.50 a month, which is
about go per cent overcharge. If
no water is used, this S150 is meter
rental. If one should use a few
more feet, you must pay extra.
Some graft.
We should charge all these utili-
ties rental space for ground occu-
pied by poles and lines and make
them repair streets, but we first
must can this commission or else
have higher rates. H. EGAN.
