Baseball Turn-ou Gets Under Way.

Baseball Turnout Gets Under Way.
Monday noon was the first turnout
OF the Vashon baseball squad. About
twenty-five men were out. The turn
outs are being held at noon because OF
transportation difficulties which have
arisen. The schedule for the first week
or two will be batting practice in
abundance. The prospects of pitchers
is not very encouraging. AT first it
looked at though there would be
several men to uphold the position but
now there are only two; Amos From
back, who pitched last year and
Chester Olson who is trying for the
first time. None of the other positions
have been qualified for as yet but they
will be lined up soon.
The schedule this year includes five
games, most of which are going to be
lplayed away from home. The first
game takes place on April 18th.
When the first call went out the size
of the turnout made 1t look doubtful
whether there would be baseball
team or not. Spring calls several OF
the boys home after school to work
on the farms and also because nc
means of transportation were visible
/ it was decided to hold turnouts at
noon instead.

Roosevelt as a campaigner is picking up He is
getting away from easy generalization and the usual
hokum, and becoming specific in his pledges
After his vague addresses on tariff and farm re-
lief he got down to definite program in his splendid
railroad speech. Now he has followed that with an
expert and effective discussion at Portland of vitality
needed reforms in the power industry.
Few single economic issues are more important
than this And Roosevelt, in line with his record as
Governor of New York, out the liberal side
in sharp contrast to the reactionary Hoover policy
In brief the Roosevelt program calls for
Full publicity for utility financing and interlockng
relations substitution of the prudent investment basis
for rate valuation in place of the reproduction cost
theory, and regulation of security issues on this new
basis; regulation of holding companies by the federal
power commission, and the use of public ownership

club over competing private industry-such federal
clubs to include the St. Lawrence Muscle Shoals.

will hit upon this speech as dangerous doctrine

ical 1t does not propose general government owner
ship and operation.
1t asks only enough government regulation and
operation to prevent private industry from commit
ting hari-kari. In that sense it is intelligent con-
servatsm
For unless the Roosevelt type of program can be
put into action very soon it is apparent that the
utility industry in its greed and blindness will kill
itself.
The insult monstrosity which wrecked so many
small investors the organized effort of the power in
dustry to poison public opinion through the schools
and press the ndustrys effort to block representative
government and to control politics, the indlstrys
evasion of effective state regulation and defiance of
FEDERAL regulation, and the attempt to stick the public
with the highest rates the traffic will bear on the basis
OF watered stock inflated values disguised profits and
Che holding company racket-all these indicate that
This private industry in its present hands can be de-
pended upon to force wholesale government operation
unless restrained by some such plan as Roosevelt
offers.

The Pursuit Of Dale


Once more the forces that do not thrive under
honest government after Mayor George Dale of
Muncie
This time the city council attempts to replace him
with member Who during a federal court trial.
was named as the paymaster for the unofficial agents
who secured evidence against Dale
The effort to get rid Of Dale is significant. 1t is
the story Of what happens 10 a who fights for
principles.
Dale first came into statewide and national notice
when he fought with his weak and weekly paper,
against the powerful forces of the Ku-Klux Khan.
He braved attempted assassination. He braved jails
under a tyrannical judge who was later impeached
by the house of representatives.
More than that, he fought against graft in public
Office and exposed the lootng of the treasury of his
city and county He fought against the protection of
vice and crime.
Then the people elected him as mayor and his
troubles began in earnest.
From the start, he eliminated graft from public
affairs. He lowered the cost of government and in
creased its efficiency. He drove the bootlegger and
the gambler out of business.
BY common knowledge the city of Muncie has
been cleaner under his administration than it had
been for years Vice hid in back alleys The gamblers
closed their doors The boogger took to the suburbs
Thanks to the peculiar federal administration of the
prohibition law, Dale is convicted of conspiracy
to violate the very laws that he enforced and the
weird theory of his guilt that he had promised the
bootleggers protect them in return for votes and
later put them out of business
Much of the testimony that brought against
him given by persons who would be dscreded in any
other place and in any other circumstance than
federal court, has since been repudated Especially
is this true the wild story paraded at his trial that
he had tried to take for ride" witness, story
that has since been exploded by the wife of this wit
ness in another court.
Dale has appealed his case. He insists that he
is innocent until the higher courts pass upon the
fairness of his trial That seems to be reasonable
view of the constitutional guarantee of the presump
ton of innocence and the creation of higher courts.
Were the opposite theory true, there would be no
use of appeals to higher coTts
But the city council of Munce wants power in
the coming election. High Offices are at stake A
United States senator is to be elected Governor
and President are to be chosen No suspects
that Dale would stand for crookedness in elections
and elections in Munce under other administrations
have not been above suspicion.
It seems to be necessary to get rid of Dale, perhaps
In the cause of political expediency.
Meanwhile the prohibition department. which was
used to convict Dale has made no effort to send to
sail those who stole carloads of conhscated whisky
from its own custody
If government can be overthrown in this manner,
legal anarchy has arrived.

Sold Ont2

Reports of the activities Of some bankers in tax
ing advantage of the depression at the expense OF
their fellow-men crop up with disturbing frequency
A Scripps- Howard survey in score of cities
showed that many if not most banks and building
and loan associations have ignored the Hoover adj
minstrations plea for sixty-day home foreclosure
moratorium
In many vcinities it was indicated the lenders are
selling out the homes of unemployed persons, WHO
can not pay taxes and interest while granting
leniency to those with depleted incomes who pay
these charges but not the principal The foreclosed
homes are sold at a profit if possible otherwise
rented until prices rise again.
1t also develops that the ioint-stock land banks
initiated and still supervised by the government
selling out mortgaged farmers disposng of the farms
at low prices.
With thise revenue the banks retire their bonds
which they now can buy in at very low rates-3o to
so per cent of par-and wind up the transaction
with net profit In the case of the Chicago joint
stock land bank this foreclosure profit for 1881 is said
to be more than 100000.
But what of the farmers and the hone-owners
affected by such TRANSACTIONS
Administration men have been talking about
lief "trickling down" to the masses.
The banks have been given loans in large amounts
The administration forced an unwilling congress to
set Ap a home-loan bank system-aong lines similar
TO the federal joint-stock land bank system
Congress voted s12sOoOOoO out of the treasury to
the federal land banks to prevent the very thing
which the joint-stock land banks are engaged in do
ing
These special privileges and benefits were not in
tended by congress to benefit bankers alone.
The treasury-which means the government of the
people, or should-has through the Reconstruction
Finance Corporation undertaken the tremendous task
of carrying major part Of the credit structure
