Time to Act


After the Job Of selecting candidates for the legs
lature who owe nothing to the utilities and who can
not be rented out by the bosses to these interests IS
completed, the people should demand immediate re-
lief from the positions Of the water and electric COM
panies.
Two recent events should arouse resentment. The
first Of these is the raising of rates large number
Of water users to compensate for small reduction
en- others.
The other is the fact that the electric company
gave what amounted to secret reduction to twelve OF
the large users Of electricity year Those twelve
concerns are leaders in industry The purpose was
plain 1t was an attempt to stihe the inevitable
criticism that would from the maintenance OF
high rates during days Of depression
The fact that the public service commission acted
as party to the secrecy under the thinnes sunter-
fuge suggests that this body no longer serves the
public interest and should be either abolished or
renovated
Secret schedules are, to all effects and purposes
rebates which arc illegal under the law.
The trick is in perfect keeping with the other
practices of this company. The purchase OF coal
from twin subsidiary, the taking the huge fees
for MANAGEMENT by the holding company the twisting
of figures in reports show contempt for public rght
and justice that demand action
The people must protect themselves, if they desire
any relief

Business Is Willing

When the United States Chamber of Commerce
meets in San Francisco it will have before it a
special committee report on employees retirement
annuities" and this will, for the first time, place
big business in this country of rugged indivduasm
squarely behind the principle of old age pensions.
State and municipal old age pensions, the report
will state If properly safeguarded and restricted to
the needy, "serve valid purpose and not detri
mental t. the interests of American business"
There are we learn, 100000 Americans past the
age of 65 OF these rs to 80 per cent are without
sufficient financial resources to maintain themselves
at the minimum level of Subsistence"
Nearly 100000 aged poor being sheltered in
nublic almshouses, while $4,000 more ere wards Of
other homes" for the aged, The cost OF maintenance
is high. 60 per cent of it going into overhead PHI
vate pensions and retirement plans can not, for
many years to come cover the of the extremely
aged
Il is societys Job. Society must act not only
humanely, but efficiently
"Any type Of public care for the aged which re-
dces the degradation of the poorhouse, permits I'M
fortunate aged citizens to maintain their sef-respect
at a decent level of subsistence, and does not in
volve an exorbtant expense to the government is not
inherently Objectionable to employers" the report
states. Private employee pensions and public old age
pensons it states, are not antagonistic'
Business. always unSentimental, is finding that
old age pensions are not only better, but cheaper
than poorhouses. In California, for instance, the
average pension is s277 year, the national aver
age cost iii public poorhouses is 1885.
If old age pensions are to be made compulsory
and universal the government should assist the
noorer states We hope the United States Chamber
Of Commerce adopts its committee report and follows
this with Endorsement of the Dill-Connery bill.

"The Damnedest Rule"

"It's the damnedest rule we ever got.
That is what Chairman Pou of the house rules
committee calls the gag by which the house bosses
propose to prevent adequate debate or amenomenU
of the 1855 OO0O 900 omnibus economy bill CONSIDER
inc all the rotten rules imposed on the house in the
past Chairman Pous indictment OF this lasV one Is
rather startling. But it is deserved
The question at issue is no mere technical1ty OF
parliamentary procedure It is the issue of represent
alive government BY gag rule, little handful
of dictators can control legislation. They not only
can do it. but have done so many times in the past
That was the history of the house in the days OF
Cannonism And that was the history OF the mouse
during recent sessions under the Longworth-Illson
Smell triumvirate.
Under a gag rule there is no chance OF getting
any liberal legislation through the house, even when
large majority of the elected representatives OF the
people are in favor of such legislation II IS tne
quickest, surest way to junk democracy.
To take only one example fresh in the minds of
the voters the Hawley-Smoot higher tariff BILL which
has wrecked our foreign trade and prolonged unem-
poyment and depression, could have been modified if
the house had been given fair chance to act In
stead it was railroaded.
When the Democrats came into power this Ses-
sion. they reformed the old rules which made die
tatorship so easy. That, indeed, has been the only
outstanding public service Of the Democrats in this
congress.
without this reform in the rules, permitting con-
gressmen to function as free men instead OF lock-
step convicts the house last month could not have
defeated the Ubiquitous general sales tax which the
Republican managers tried to foist upon
the country.
Now on the second major test vote OF the session.

on the economy bill, trying to prevent intelligent
TI@- GaTafI had he IN
which to prepare an economy budget the house COM
mittee has had eight weeks but the plan is to force
the house itself to act in two three days without
even a chance to read the hearings on the bill.
We appeal to the house to stand by Representative
La Guardia in his fight against the gag rule If the
house defeats the gag rule and then takes two weeks
for careful consideration of the BILL it can pass a
measure providing not only more intelligent but larg

Just Every Day Sense
BY MRS. WALTER FERGUSON

~OULD anything have stripped the high glory from
4 war any more effectively than our bonus fight?
War always begins with scrap about money, or
its equivalent and it ends the same ignobe level
The ex-soldier who cries out for the compensation
that was promised him knows now that most OF the
talk about his heroism in saving democracy was so
much appleSauce. And the taxpayer knows now that
most of the talk about the soldiers desire to fight only
for his country and holy cause also was so much
applesauce.
That leaves us to start all over again. There's
no need to kid ourselves any longer. About nine
tenths of everything connected with the last war,
and with every other war, fake sentimentalism.
We all were caught together in the swirl of the
emotional current and could not save ourselves.
THE public is not usually too solicitous about the
i veteran when wars done. And the nobility
of the military man while the fighting is going on
probably also is exaggerated Therefore, lts BEST 10
be truthful and make the best of things
Nevertheless there should come to us all some
solid benefit from legislative tribulatons, however
thev NAV terminate The lesson Is there for all who
will to learn.
So write high on memory's walls oh, soldier that
there is stupidity colossal as the stupidity OF
war. And you taxpayer, write also that there Is no
folly like the folly of spending money for military
glory.
good comes from armed strife. The resounding
phrases that enobe it merely are the lingo inventions
of those who would profit by it.
The drums that herald it beat the doom OF ma
tons. The paradeS that mark it evolve inevitably
into bread lines. The lusts of the guilty who cry
'Killl kill" must be paid for by the sweat Of the
innocent.
We we're one Of the conquering nations of 1918
Victory was ours And what has y brought uss

DAILY HEALTH SERVICE
Dust Serious Menace to Health

The dust liberated during the pro-
cess of stripping and carding in
cludeS fragments of cotton hairs
and of leaf and seed coat, various
germs and fungi associated with the
cotton and some mineral matter.
The greatest amount of dust is
found in Egyptian cotton. Much
of the dust is due to lack of ade-
quate cleaning of the cotton in
blowing rooms, but most dust is due
to failure to keep the machines
clean and to remove dust which has
settled on them.
Examination of workers in the
cotton industry showed merely an
ordinary bronchitis due to irrita-
ton by the dust. There were, how
ever, some cases Of sensitivity to
cotton.
Use of proper ventilation, suction
apparatus and cleaning procedures
will reduce greatly the amount of
discomfort and illness.

No Time for Scandal

A N election is approaching, to be
L n sure, but the best bet for
either party is to do something con-
structive and worthwhile, something
that holds out hope for more bread
and butter, if it does not actually
produce more.
Our lawmakers do not seem to
have heard from the people.
To read the news from Washing
ton, one hardly would guess that the
country had been wrestling with de-
preston for three years, that prac-
tically no Roadway had been made
in the relief of unemployment.
Much as people might do for
themselves and much as they are
trying to do, they have little hope
of meeting the situation successfully
without substantial assistance from
the federal government.
Many of the obstacles blocking the
road to recovery were put there by
a stupid, mistaken policy and only
can be removed by a change of
policy.
What can the Individual do, or
even the greatest corporation, to
restore and stabilize financial con-
ditions?
What prospect is there of increas-
ing foreign trade, unless the federal
government removes certain barriers
and handicapS?

Washington BIind2
TINE public has formed opinion

TINE public has formed opinions
a which promise general recov-
cry. The majority of people no
longer are sold on prohibition, or on
the idea of isolating Russia.
They never have been opposed to
such additional taxes as were neces-
sary to balance the budget, pro-
vided the proper economies were as
sured.
They have done all they could to
make themselves clear on these
and other points, but without Gre
ating a very responsive attitude at
Washington. Most states, cities and
towns already have taken appropri-
ate action.
The federal government alone
pursues dawdling, unhurried
course. This is not in accord with
the principles of our political syS-
tenn, or the ambition to get things
done, of which we are so justly
proud. No more is it in accord with
the exigencies which we face.

The Facts of Life

DEFORE it was too late some
ID body should have said sternly
to the trio, ooh, no, boys, not The
Brook"
This wise counsellor might have
pointed out that members are pro-
posed at birth or earlier. The wait
ing list is long, the membership
committee meticulously, and it is
inconceivable that three upstairs
wholly without background or Spon-
sorship should brush by in this
manner.
The fact that their evening
clothes were faultleSs is not half
good enough. One dissenting vote
generally is enough to keep an ap-
plicant out, which makes it all the
more amazing that three outsiders
should have crashed the club in
a body.
In the case of The Brook, it isn't
so much the $500 of club funds
which we're stolen as the principle
of the thing. The notion that rag
tail ruff1ans can step in at mo-
ment's notice is likely to give The
Brook a bad name.

The sickness rate from diseases
of the nose and throat and lungs is
much higher among workers in the
carding room than among other OPP
erativeS in the cotton industry.
Of course, regular examina-
tons of operatives ought to be made
so that symptoms could be con-
trolled in their earliest stages.
One exceedingly interesting fact
determined in the investigation
was the presence Of a substance
called histamine in the dust. HiSta-
mine is the protein which produces
exceptionally severe reactions in
the human body, even when present
in small amounts.
No system of ventilation known
will be able to free the operatives
entirely from exposure to hista-
mine.
This observation is an example OF
the highly technical studies neces-
sary in modern industry to protect
the health of employees.

BRITISH GAIN GROUND
April ~

ON April 27, 1918, British and
" French troops opposing the
German drive in the Lys sector re-
gained some of the lost ground by
several fierce counter attacks.
Most of the positions retaken were
held against renewed German as
saults during the night. German
attempts to storm Voormezeele were
repulsed after a day of heavy fight
ing. Losses were high on both sides.
British forces in Mesopotamia de-
feated the Turkish troops opposing
them in a fierce encounter north of
Bagdad and advanced several miles.
The Soviet government Of Russia
sent a bitter protest to the allied
governments against landing of
troops at Vla6ivoStok.
The Soviet government also re-
quested an explanation of the action
of Japanese marines in landing
there.

Volcanic Islands
I'VE think Of volcanoes AS a fe

WE think of volcanoes as a fea-
w ture Of the earth's CONT
nents, but scientists have found
that volcanoes occur also upon the
bottom of the ocean.
Many of the small oceanic islands
are merely the tops of extinct VOL
canoes whose cones project above
the level of the ocean.
There are many volcanic islands
in the Pacific, fewer in the Atlantic
and Indian oceans. Bermuda is
coral island built on a submerged
and extinct volcanic cone.
Among the most active craters
in the world today are those of the
Hawaiian islands.
These islands are in the middle
Of the Pacific ocean, at point
where the ocean is $4,000 feet deep.
They are the tops of great cones.
which have grown up $1,000 feet
from the ocean bottom.
But they didn't stop growing then.
For the peaks of Mauna Loa and
Mauna Kea are both over $4,000
feet above sea level.
The crater of Kilauea, on the
island of Hawaii, is the largest act
i've one in existence, having cir
conference of nine miles.

j. E. H.
Editor Tines-The new water
rate is common sense.
Clearly it were far better, from
the standpoint of the citizens, to
obtain an immediate reduction Of
some consequence in charges than
to engage in prolonged litigation.
There have been increases, but
lots more decreases. It is the first
time in water rate making that the
little consumer is benefited. Hereto
fore, the little consumer, paying his
minimum charge of $3.50 on TOO
cubic feet Of water, has been carry
ing the load" for the large
quantity consumers. In other
words, figures brought out in the
public service commission hearing
showed that the average con-
sumption Of about 10000 consumers
was AS cubic feet Of water month
ly.
There it Is. The little consumer
was paying for about two hundred
cubic feet Of water he never used.
That's carrying the load for the
large consumer in a big way.
1t seems to me that every con-
sumner now is paying exactly for
the water he uses. That's the way
it should be.

DaWdIing DepIorabIe

WE are sidestepping many of
w the most important issues
Russia, prohibition, reduction OF
government costs, guarantees of
revenue, measures that are needed
for sterilization.
There is little reason for such
dawdling. The vast majority Of con-
gressmen realize what they must do
in principle.
An increase of taxes is mandatory.
So is a cut in expenses. The sales
tax has been killed. Small improve
ment could be made in the pending
tax bill Why not pass it and get one
job out of the way?
Why not take up the question of
recognizing Russia or face the pro-
hibition issue like normal human
beings?
