Flight of the Stork

Scientists analyzing the census figures, paint a
gloomy picture of the white mans future on this
planet
DR.. Kuczynsh of Brookings institution con-
cludes that "the populations of western and north
ern Europe North America, and Australia combined
no longer reproduce themselves"
Dr. Spengler of the University of Arizona de-
clares that "only in the agricultural white nations
among Asatc people, and in Egypt do we find a
high birth rate" In industrial countries the birth
rate has been cut in two within the last half cen
tury
In the United States, it is predicted birth control
organization, and other causes conspre to slow
down the birth rate to point that in three decades
VIII make our population begin to decline Already
the white populations of Massachusetts, Connecticut
New York, and Pacific coast states and the Negro
population in sixteen northern states and in all the
cities the wane
The 100000 babies this country would REQUIRE
each year to keep its numbers stationary DR.
spenger believes, will be fewer than 100000 in
few decades
The danger lies not only in our own dwindling
race but in the increased populations in nations
more poorly endowed than ours in natural resources
Japan for instance produces 100000 new babies each
year in excess of deaths. And as DR. Ross saws
the real enemy of the dove of peace NAV not be the
eagle, but the stork
What to do? DR.. Spengler urges system of
wages for parents. Since children no longer are
profitable in an urban civilization the state must
make them so. His suggestion of a $4,000 subsidy for
each child sounds bit fantastic. We believe the
situation will improve with better economic condi-
TONS
If we can absorb the 100000 jobIess, provide
SVeaoy work. and security for all, evolve wholesome
homes and profitable farms, we probably will not
need to worry about more babies
In the meantime let us give attention to the
@'oVO'OOo that the stOrk now brings every year.

Owen Young Leadership

1t Is not unfair to say that while no decisive
social advantage can be traced to the holding COM
pany, it is the parent of the more conspicuous eco
nomic evils and weaknesses of our day.
1t is doubtful if the stock market crash of 1929
or the present depression would have occurred but
for the disastrous influence of high finance as
handled through the great holding companies
They issue the greater part of purely speculative
securities. They put water into the stocks and the
public pays dearly for this water in increased service
COSTS lower wages, and the like.
We are suffering today primarily from the rape
bf sound industry by speculative high finance, and
the holding company has been the chief instrument
Of high finance
Whatever Owen D. Youngs reputation q lawyer
Snterna tonalst, pubcist, and benefactor of his
tive village, he actually owes his wealth and power,
with all resulting publicity repute to achieve
ments as an eminent figure in contemporary high
finance
Specifically, he along with the General Elec-
trio Company and associated holding companies
which he helped to create. AS an industrial leader
he is to be judged, not by his work on the Young
plan or by his dscourses on politics and sociology
or by the Identification of his home town, but by
his activities in the General Electric Company. the
Radio Corporation of America, and the like.
The nature of his work here well has been sum-
married by William Floyd who knows his Wall Street
from the inside as great real estate operator before
he retired:
"Owen D. Young presented to Gerard Swope, in
behalf of the National Institute Of Social Sciences
a gold medal for his plan to organize each indus
try voluntarily, free from antitrust law restraint
in order to coordinate production and consumption
"Messrs Young and Swope voluntarily organized
the General Electric Company to prevent the public
from knowing the immense profits made. The New
York Stock Exchange record shows the following
distribution of dividends in addition to the per
cent a year: 1902, 66 2-3 per cent stock dividend
1912 80 per cent stock dividend; 1917 per cent
stock dividend; 1882, per cent stock dividend
1922-2S per cent in special stock; 1924 per cent
in special stock and share Of Electric BOND and
Share Company stock; 1925 per cent in special
stock 1926 four shares of nopar stock for each 500
share 1927 one share special stock; 1925 IS on each
share; 1929 Sc share; $780, four shares of new
no-par stock for each share of old no-par stock
by this process 100000 invested in General
Electric in 1901 became worth s1O3Soo0 in 1929 and
the annual income jumped from $4,000 to 500
year. This may be an underestimate of the ability
OF Messrs Young and Swope, Cor they also received
special dividends on the Electric Bond and Share
Company stock and may have acquired their original
General Electric stock at less than par
Naturally, they received salaries for this profit
able adventure and regular cash dividends upon their
stock as it accumulated. If they had not msnipu-
lated so ceyerly the public would have known that

The Richie Rud0et

Mighty few states these days can boast of ability
TO sell their bonds at premium One of the states
that can is Maryland which this week sold 81 900 600
worm or bridge bonds at premium of $479
In fact state issue has not been sold at a dis
count in Maryland in years
Wise financing that leaves a healthy surpIus and
debt OF only per cent of the states taxable wealth
is partly responsible. Chiefly however. the execu-
tive budget plan of Governor Richie is given credit
Under this plan, the Governor calls the heads
OF his departments together before each biennial
legislative session. Estimates are prepared and rev.
enues provided for.
When the executive budget reaches the general
assembly, that body may not tamper with it. except
to eliminate items revise downward 1t may not
raise appropriations without at the same time pro-
Viding new revenues to meet the added costs
Governor Richie urged similar executive budget
for the federal government at the Chicago conven-
ton. He says it would do away with unbalanced
budgets and the evil of deficiency appropriations
The plan has great merit. 1t also has dangers.
Under it a President Governor becomes a budget
car In the hands of a wise executive the power
would not be abused
In the hands of unwise executive, humane,
regulatory, and protective functions could be starved
out of existence.
In any case, Maryland certainly points the way
toward balanced budgets.

We All Know That

TINE public's response to the
L leagues recognition of "the
right of the people" ought to be
Thank you for nothing" Professor
Dewey's crowd merely is saying that
the Constitution provides method
by which that document or its
amendments may be altered. Now,
nobody, whatever his political or
economic views, can deny that. So
why say it?
Indeed, the league has not even
had the candor to paint the COM
plete picture of constitutional re-
quirements. The people, as distin-
guished from their representatives
in congress, have no right under our
organic law to vote on abolition or
modification of any amendment.
The privilege is accorded to them
only after the congress has voteG by
a two-thirds majority to resubmit
If the league thinks that congress
should take that action it ought to
say so in as few and simple words
as possible.
AS the plank stands, it is even
more devious than that adopted by
the Republicans, for it promises the
people a right without indicating
the manner in which they are to
obtain it. Many people have tried
to minimize the prohibition issue by
pretending that it is merely liquor
question. 1t cuts much deeper than
that.
AS DR.. Nicholas Murray Butler
truly said, it has become a funda-
mental problem of government.

Just Every Day Sense
BY MRS. WALTER FERGUSON

"ATEITHER the threat Of DEATH nor its inf1iction,
ever has halted the march of moral progress. Nor
has the fear of death been able to impress new
order of living for which the people were not pre-
pared by education and culture"
These are not the words Of theorst. They were
written by man who has spent his life in manage
ment of prisons and prisoners
Warden Lewis E. Lawes Of Sing Sing prison prob
ably is moved by preudiceS like the rest of U.s. but
certainly his opinions penology are far more
valuable than those of the average citizen, because
he has studied the subject.
In his splendid book, Twenty Thousands Years in
Sing Sing" which every noisy patriot should read,
he points out the fallacy of capital punishment and
cruelty deterrent to crime.
The entire history of prison reform proves his
contention In England, when men were hanged
for petty theft people believed that no mans prop
erty would be safe if the gallows abolished
Although today nearly every Russian moujik
a beard, Gar Peter put to death 5000 men in
trying to abolish boards. The past should teach us
that the fear of death has stopped and never
will stop crime.
DUT upon this opinion, which often is called sob
ID sister stuff, Warden Lawesj does not hang his
arguments. He points out that sentiment plays too
great part in all judicial processes where life is
at stake and that there is justice in the death
sentence unless every murderer pays for his crime
with his life
Now, We all know that most of the crimes in this
land never punished at all, and that hundreds
Of murderers aren't even sent to prison.
also am heartily in accord with Mr. Lawes con-
tenton that if We a a people do kill in the name
of the state we should, like the ancient Britishers
have the intestinal forttude to look at the pro-
ceedngs in public spectacle.
Instead we get our yiearious shoulders and thrills
from the newspapers If We think the law is good
we should be brave enough to it enforced. And
we never are.
Gangs are not obliterated by killing gangsters.
Always there ones to take the place of those
who are dead,
Crime can be wiped out only by destroying the
roots Of its causes.

Work for Voorhees,

More important than any other subject
with which the special session may or can
deal is the necessity of providing, when
possible, work for the voorhees, men of this
state
The necessity for rigid economy in gov
eminent is admitted. The tax burden is too
heavy. 1t can not be paid. If the govern
ment machine is operated on the present
scale Of costs, it will break down in many
counties before December.
One of the reasons for economy is the
enormous cost of charity, so-called, for those
who are unable to find work.
Very few of the voorhees, want charity.
They accept it as the last resort, choice
between charity on the one side or crime or
hunger on the other. They want work. They
are entitled to work
The state has fund of many millions
which now provides but little work. and then
only at slave wages. That fund is under the
direction of the highway commission.
At the present time few, if any, Of the
roads which are being built are needed.
They will be needed less and less as the use
of automobiles dwindles under the lessened
incomes Of those still at work. There could
be vacation of highway building for the
next two years without any real loss to the
public,
But there are streets in every city of the
state which need repair and which can not be
repaired because of lack of funds.
There are in these cities many men who
would welcome the chance to work for their
living instead of taking food in bitterness
from township trustee,
These highway funds spent under city
administrations for repair work, would lift
the burden of taxation, give jobs to needy
men and provide, indirectly, market for the
products of farms not possible now under
the hunger rations of charity.
There should be no hesitation on the part
of any legislator to giving justice to the
cities and work for the voorhees,.
The cities have paid the major portion
of the gasoline tax and of the license fees
which go into the funds.
The record of the highway commission
has been such as to warrant the belief that
its services could be dispensed with and no
great loss suffered. The cities, for the most
part, have a much more admirable record
for efficiency and economy and results.
But the brig object IS work for the work
less. The twenty million dollar highway fund
might save lot of trouble next winter, if
disbursed now among the cities for actual
work instead of being turned over to con-
tractors who practice peonage.

Works With Authority

VOU hardly can pick up a paper
Il these days without finding
some bit of bloody evidence as to
the terrorism which has grown up
among us. BY no stretch of the
imagination can it be mistaken for
the normal strain of lawlessness.
1t is too methodical, too precise,
too calculating 1t gets away with
far too much for any one to suppose
it lacks workable contact with the
sources of authority. 1t operates
too effectively for doubt as to it's
system of discipline.
The inability of our regularly
constituted officials to catch and
punish gangSters stands out in grim
contrast to the ease with which the
lords of gangdom can rub out"
their disobedient subordinates, or
each other.
The situation can not last, of
course. Self-respecting people can
not, and will not, endure it for very
long. Signs already have appeared
which indicate turning of the tide.
Meanwhile, we have mixed a Grim
son broth that ought to make a
good romance for the future.
