Holding COMPANIES

If there are genuine advantages to the public in
the utility holding company system, the companies
as well as their customers should indorse the federal
power commissions recommendation that holding
companies be regulated by the federal government
It is hard to imagine even the most credulous in
vestor putting his money into unregulated utility
holding company after the crash in which 100000
insult investors have lost all most of what they had
The federal trade commission found that holding
companies have been skimmng the off oper
ating company profits by strange and unusual fee
systems which their face sound attractive to the
investors if not to the consumer.
Still the painful insult episode illustrates what may
happen even in the realm of apparent profits when
no agency of the government has authority to ex-
tend the sort of protection it has been able to
extend to investors in operating company securities
From the point of view of the light and power GUS
TONER there be no argument about the advantages
of holding company regulation.
To him it will mean that his rates need no longer
be large enough to unearned fees to half dozen
fellow subsidiaries in the holding company group
What advantages there may be in centralized man
agement will accrue to him. what abuses have been
concealed in the hidden accounts of holding companies
will be laid bare.
The power commissions conclusion that no real reg
ulation take place unless holding companies are
regulated along with utilities is inescapabe one
Power executives with nothing to conceal will in

President Must Grow

MO one expects a presidential
IN candidate to know it all, to
have a ready-made solution for
every problem.
About all we can hope for is that
he will display an increased ability
to swim as the water gets deeper.
The campaign furnishes a good test
on that particular point.
In the first Douglas de-
bate, Lincoln was at his worst, and
Douglas at his best. In the last,
their positions were reversed. That
revealed Lincoln as a man who
could develop.
No man can be trained for the
presidency in other Offices, or other
walks of life. 1t is a position Pc
.culiar to itself. The man must
grow into it after he gets there.
Few Presidents have entered Office
with a more auspicious background
than Herbert Clark Hoover.
Eight years in the cabinet and
SIX years as managing director of
the greatest ventures in relief work
ever undertaken afforded him
training which should have been
sufficient.
But he has displayed little capac-
ity for growth.
The depression caught him COM
pletely off guard. So did the revolt
against prohibition. He could not
believe that either meant much, un-
til conditions had reached a point
where any other view was impos-
sible.

too.
This year the national effort to alleviate
distress among the millions of jobless is in the hands
of private citizens with White House connections.
There will have to be more hard work. The job of
the national welfare and relief mobilization commit
tee is the most difficult facing any group Of and
women in this country.
They going to try to furnish the national lead
ershp, the national impetus to wide series of local
Embarrassing drives. An inadequate will be avail
able for local relief through the Reconstruction
Finance Corporation.
None of these things will be enough. Fortunately
we have passed the stage of calous natenton to the
most pressing national problem This year, ballyhoo
won't be quite so fully depended upon.
This year there must be greater giving greater
sacrifice if the victims of the depression are tocarred
through another winter with the minimum of suf
fering.

Always Thinking Ahead

TUST ask yourself this question:
y If Hoover had been Governor of
New York, would he have sanctioned
the Seabury investigation, or forced
Mayor Walker into a speedy hear
ing?
If that is not hard enough, try
this one: If Roosevelt had been
President Of the United States,
would he have waited two years
after the depression broke to place
a comprehensive program of relief
and recovery before congress?
You have heard a lot about con-
ditions in New York, particularly
since Governor Roosevelt advocated
Stricter regulations for exchanges
and security markets.
Notwithstanding that it has had
to carry a large share of the strain
Of this depression, the state of New
York is in better financial shape to-
day than the federal government,
proportionately speaking.
1t has been guided with clearer
vision as to the character of the
emergency and the kind of meas
ures which were required.
Governor Roosevelt would be
first to deny that he deserves all
the credit for this, but a review of
his official acts and recommended
tionS will show that he was always
thinking little ahead of the need,
always in close touch with the situa-
tion and always ready with some
helpful, constructive measure.

own reward, but in some cases much
is added on. In the fight to prevent
the creation of military fascist
autocracy in the United States, Her
bert Clark Hoover, will receive and
deserve his line of credit.
By the strange ironies of Ameri-
can politics, Hoover for once is
fighting the radical cause, while
William z. Foster, of the Commun-
lists, appears upon the reactionary
ramparts whooping it up for the
khaki shirts and all the others who
would establish a privileged class.
One OF the younger Communists
informs me loftily that Foster favors
the bonus because the veterans are
AL workers" That word is used in
an extremely limited sense by the
Communists, and the case hardly
will stand in any instance.
OF course, many who served in the
army are among the abjectly unem-
ployed today, but, even so. the true
backbone of the American Legion is
made up of the middle man.
The brunt of battle, as far as
America is concerned, was borne by
the bourgeoisie. And they are folk
who generally find themselves first
IN war and last in radical speeches.

now until election day the current
executive should spend the greater
part of the day in perfecting a ges-
ture of farewell, founded on the old
gladiatorial salute and the sweeping
bow of French noble about to step

And think he ought to begin
asking rates from the owners of

But in all truth the gentleman
who has been tipped the political
black spot should look ahead to

Spect he ought to be a warrior far
more happy than Franklin D..
Roosevelt.
With victory almost in sight, the
Governor has to worry lest he make
one false move or an incautious ges-
ture. President Hoover can order
anything he pleases for breakfast
and say whatever he likes. 1t hard
ly can make any difference now.
After four painful years, he sud-
denly is his own man once again.

Just Every Day Sense
By Mrs. Walter Ferguson

ALWAYS have had a suspicion that bachelors
Il were slightly deranged Thus it pleased me to
have my opinion verified by some sort of research
professor, who announces officially that unmarried
men have shorter lives and are more likely to de-
veop insanity and criminal tendencies than married
ones.
Living without woman is enough to drive a man
crazy or course, bachelors a general thing DENY
this ferventy. But their behavior proves it.
They contend that God put women upon earth to
plague men. If So then no man leads normal life
without one of these plaques, and must remember
too that whom the Lord loveth He chasteneth"
After the average bachelor has passed middle age
he sinks into a sort of mental rut He may be bril-
liant and great but he is likely to exhibit much
agility of opinion
He probably will be cranky about his food and
will grow more grouchy every day and more set in
his ways. Graualy he will develop prejudices, and
will rail at the world and especially at the younger
generation.
HAVING missed all the surprises, the emotional es-
l. capades, the ups and downs of the thoroughly
married man, he becomes obsessed by himself, and
with no one to point out his mistakes is likely be-
lieve his opinion is infallible
Say wnat you please, gentlemen but every man
needs a wife and children to keep his soul alive
He may have wretched companion who deals him
naught but misery and grief.
he may have unruly progeny, needless of his
wishes and ungrateful as the proverbial serpent's
tooth Nevertheless, this man, with all his sorrows,
IS IN better case than he who spends his days alone
lacking the zest that marriage gives to life and the
real JOY that tatherhood confers

DAILY HEALTH SERVICE :

In the second period the sex
glands are speciality active, with
associated actions by the thyroid,
pituitary and the adrenals.
In the third period there is a
gradual decrease, if not stopping,
of the activity of all the glands.
The thymuS gland in man is large
during the first eight or nine
months of life, and then practically
disappears.
In case it persists and continues
to send considerable amounts of its
secretion into the body, it brings
about definite changes that are
serious to health and life.
If, on the other hand, it fails to
act as long as it should, it produces
different type of change.
If the gland continues to Secrete
beyond the time when it should
have stopped. the person has a
skin that is soft, smooth and vel
vety, sort of peaches cream
complexion.
If it is a man, he may not shave
at all, or perhaps only one a week.
Such patients appear younger than
their age. The hair over the body
will be scanty, the teeth rather blu
ish-white in color and not uniform
in size or development.
Such patients also are likely to
have low blood pressure, a slow
pulse, and to- be easily fatigued.
incidentally, DR.. Tinme believes
that people whose thymus action
persists have a changed mental
makeup, remaining childlike, self
centered, simple In their mental
processes and initiative, looking for

The City Budget

Representatives Of large property owners are openly
threatening to refuse to pay their taxes because Mayor
Sullivan and the city council refuse to cut the
of policemen, fremsn and other employees to the level
Of the made work" group.
That is what would be necessary if the demands
Of the property owners for tax rate within the $3.50
law be met
There was no thought of moratorium for interest
on debts incurred during the evil days Of bad govern
ment against which these professors made no
protest.
The truth is that the city and county now
paying the price for the many years of Conism dur
ing which the peoples money and the peoples credit
were handed about to the boys and special avors and
crooked contracts created property Of those
whose chief assets friendship for the bosses
These same representatives of property Would
stand in better light had they ever been found on the
sdeof the people When public utilities were getting
strangle hold on the peoples pocketbooks
They would command more attention had they been
found fighting corruption in politics. the giving away
of the peoples property to the utilities the granting
Of contracts at high prices to the political henchmen
No one suspects or charges Mayor Sullivan with
extravaganza 1t is foreign to his nature. He would
not know how to be wasteful
Nor is there any charge that funds are being
diverted for political purposes The one charge is
Of public employees below a living standard.
1t may be true that property can not pay. But it
is also true that unless there is to be protection
for life and property this winter when more men
are likely to become desperate that decently paid
police force is necessary.
There are several ways that these property
owners might find relief, One is the very simple
method of taking over the public utilities and divert
ing their present swollen profits into the public funds
The profits of the water, gas and electric companies,
under public ownership, would cut the taxes to the
payable point
One other method is the raising of funds by
income instead of property tax That would catch
the owner Of pieces of paper which an assessor never
finds
Threats of tax strikes and of force the part of
the property owners is setting bad example. What
If all city employees should strike? What if organized
government should take holiday?

Expanding Universe

THE 100-inch telescope is respon-
Il Sible for much of the interest
in the theory of the expanding uni
verse.
This theory, first proposed by De
Sitter from study of the Einstein
equations and later extended by
Lemaitre, could not have been test
ed out without the 100-inch.
Study, however, of spiral nebulae,
so distant that they could not be
seen with any other telescopes in
the world, have revealed that these
distant nebulae apparently are
moving away from our galaxy, as
required by the theory.
This does not necessarily mean
that the theory is right. Some other
explanation eventually may be
brought forward.
But, even so, the 100-inch or a
larger telescope will be needed to
make the necessary observational
tests
The Harvard observatory has
been particularly interested in
DS0AJ VI b44C OIL uCbUlC VI bIlC MILKY
Way. The observatory has main
tanned 60-inch telescope in South
Africa to study the southern por-
ton of the Milky Way.
It will now have a slightly more
powerful instrument in the 61-inch
at Oak Bridge to study the northern
portion of the Milky Way.
The 80-inch telescope planned for
Texas will be under direction of
DR.. otto Stuve, who also is di-
rector of the famous Yerkes OBJ
An interesting program is being
out for this telescope, which
will be the second largest in the
world.
The instrument is being so de-
signed that for certain purposes it
will be even more powerful than the
100-inch telescope and important
results can be expected from 1t.
