POWER RATES

WATCHING the various elements Of the
w new deal take shape these days is a lit
tie bit like peering into a test tube in which
a chemist is attempting an entirely new. elab-
orately complicated kind of synthesis-with
the added factor that at least a few Of the
chemists on the outskirts are not dead sure
that the whole mess won't presently blow up
and wreck the laboratory.
Some Of us find one part of the expert
ment most interesting, and some of us find
another; but certainly one of the most strik-
ing in its potentialities is that being conduct
ed at Muscle Shoals.
A great many reasons were advanced for
the Muscle Shoals program while it was be-
ing debated, and one Of the chief ones was
that it would serve as a yardstick by which
electricity rates could be measured; and it is
pretty evident now that the authorities are
going to do everything they can to make the
yardstick a good one.
1t has been announced already that con-
sumers Of power from Muscle Shoals will be
charged, on the average, 2 cents per kilowatt
hour.
The significance Of this figure rests upon
two facts:
First, hi this-according to power au-
thorities at Westinghouse just a little more
than half the average power rate for the ma
ton last year.
Second, that the Muscle Shoals authorities
are taking the utmost care to make the re-
turn they will receive from their sale of power
equal to the return a privately owned utility
would have to receive in order to meet fixed
charges, taxes, interest and depreciation.
These rates." says David f. Lilienthal, di-
rector of power development at the Shoals,
have been computed on a conservative basis
to cover all the costs of furnishing the serv-
ice, including operation, maintenance, depre-
citation and taxes. In addition, we have made
provision for interest and retirement, although
such provision is not required by the Tennes-
see valley authority act.
It is easy to see how far-reaching the eff
fects of this experiment might be. If the
plant at Muscle Shoals, operating under pre-
cisely the same financial conditions as a pri-
vate utility might operate, proves able to sell
electricity for half the rate the private uti1-
tiles charge, the general public is likely to get
a new attitude toward utility rates in gen
eral. It isn't hard to see why the power
trust" fought the Muscle Shoals project
so bitterly.

JUDGE SEABURY'S VERDICT

NOBODY has better right than Samuel
~ Seabury to denounce the proposed Nc
Kee candidacy for mayor of New York. Judge
Seabury. back from Europe, tears to pieces the
Farley-Flynn plot with a vigor and precision
worthy of the man who chiefly made fusion
possible and who believes fusion can win.
We agree with Judge Seabury that with
all signs pointing to an overwhelming Tam
many defeat it is little less than a crime to
attempt to divide the anti Tammany forces"
We agree with him that Mr.. Flynn is merely
using Mr.. Mckee to put over a weak Bronx
ticket and rivet Flynn control on the local
Democracy instead of Curry control. We are
with him in his staunch belief that:
Neither Farley, Flynn, Mckee nor any one
else can, in this critical moment in the life
Of the city, betray the interests Of its people
and get away with it,
The only thing we question in Judge Sea-
buryis statement is his apparent acceptance
Of "the reputation" (of the Mckee candidacy
by the President and Mr.. Farley.
Hands Of" is not reputation. Not after
the harm already done by Messrs. Farley and
Flynn in slyly building up the impression that
the Mckee candidacy can be sure of the Pres
idents approval and support.
Only the President himself now can stop
the spread of this impression. If silence does
not affirm. neither does it deny. Politicians
are skilled in putting their own interpreta-
ton on neutrality-and in persuading voters
to accept that Interpretation.
The Republican side of fusion is showing
~frankness, straightforwardness, unity. There is
urgent need of these qualities on the Demo-
cratic side.
President Roosevelt, leader Of the national
Democracy, can not afford to compromise his
great and deserved prestige by even seeming
TO sanction Democratic deviousness and dis
ruption in the situation confronting New York.

Some of the largest and leading
concerns throughout the world have
ben using the multigraphs for years
to duplicate printing. If a thing
isn't right it isn't worth worrying
about because it will sooner or later
prove itself wrong. Multigraphs
have proven themselves for the pur-
pose which they are bought.
There never has been a multi
graph sold that some printer didn't

it Just means he will have to go to
work and find a new customer. HUI
man nature, isn't it? If j.. E. K.
ever has been in any branch OF the
service he will no doubt know where
to find sympathy. l presume that
J. E. K. is a printer, so when he
was referring to numhskulls he was
probably thinking of printers and
not multigraph operators.
Paper stock is a small part Of the
cost of printing, so no one need fear
about wasting a few sheets. Multi
graphs are not paper d%estroyers as
j. E. K. thinks. Before he writes
another article he had better in
vestigate a little farther and get
the true facts about the state dupli-
eating department and it's multi
graph operators. How about it,
Democrats.

THE LIQUOR TARIFF

ONE of the jobs the next congress will have
~ to tackle will be the matter Of deciding
how much Of a tariff to levy on imports OF
hard liquor; and when the matter comes up
for consideration it should be pointed out that
importing liquor is on a different basis from
importing other commodities.
When prohibition ends, the d~istilling in
dustry in America will be in the typical I'm
FAINT industry class. Congress will be urged
to give it ample protection; to put the import
duties sky-high so that the money Americans
spend for liquor will go to American produc-
ers and not to foreigners.
But we might also consider the fact shat
doing that will simply create a large liquor
industry in this country with a vested inter
est in any future steps we may want to take
on the liquor question. Might it not be wise
not to give our distilleries too much protec-
ion? Wouldn't it, in other words, be a good
thing if the liquor manufacturing trade
failed to grow to the size it had before the
prohibition era?

COMIC RELIEF

DERSONS with democratic tendencies some
L times wonder just why England continues
to support the luxury Of a peerage. Now and
then some individualistic member of the peer
age unwittingly will furnish the answer-or,
at any rate, an answer.
There is, for instance, the duke Of Devon
shire, who made a little speech at a horse
show in Derbyshire the other day, in the
course Of which he unleashed a die-hard old
Torys dislike Of the age Of modern inven-
tons. The auto was the chief object of his
attack; he called autos foul, Sinking things
and horrible brutes making life hideous," and
he added:
When I first knew this horse show we
came here as gentlemen, and not as crashing
cads."
And there you have it. It must be almost
worth while for a nation to support a system
which produces old gentlemen who can make
speeches like that.

have got to the point where We simply can't
put up with It any longer. And what is hap
pening in New York is an object lesson for the
remotest county courthouse. town hall and
state capitol in America.
Foreign observers long have predicted that
If the American democracy broke down the
collapse would begin with the municipal gov
ernments. Are We beginning to witness that
collapse now? Is the cold wind that howls in
from Manhattan island going to be a destroy
ing cyclone that finds us with no storm cellar
handy?
Or are We going to have sense enough to
clean house on all Of our political machines;
sense enough to stop listening to demagogues,
to elect capable public servants instead Of cor
ruptible politicians, to emand service instead
of fair words - and, thereby, to replace the
weak link in the chain with one that will
stand any pull?

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES
UNCLE SAM, SALESMAN

TTNCLE SAM has had to act a good many
- unfamiliar parts this year. One of the
strangest Of all. however, seems to be the
combined role of salesman and price-fxer
which he has undertaken in connection with
Mr.. Roosevelt's negotiations with the rail-
roads and the steel producers.
What apparently is going to happen is that
the railroads are going to buy something like
700, 900 tons of new steel rails. They are go
ing to get them at a price substantially lower
than current market quotations. And it all is
going to happen because Uncle Sam decided
to make it happen.
Uncle Sam, in brief, acted as salesman,
purchasing agent and price arbiter, all in one
moment. The result is going to be all to the
good for everybody concerned. But the old
gentleman has certainly been filing a new role

Those Practical Men

THERE is no fool like a practical
Il politician. I cite the case Of
Mr., Curry. Even his own organi-
cation hardly is dancing around the
May pole to indicate its joy over the
prospect Of supporting Mr.. O'Brien.
And Major La Guardia, VIII dis wise
in his instincts and emotions, runs
the grave risk of outsmarting him
self. AS a member of a rebellious
minority in Washington he was
magnificent. Nor did he spend all
his energy in fighting lost causes.
He accepted the leadership of a
progressive faction which seemed no
more than a forlorn hope and won
a sweeping victory.
Just as oon as he manifests the
same degree of contagious courage
in the New York campaign he will
win again. But let him remember
that this isn't just a taxpayers fight.
You can't forget the million or more
who can't pay taxes because they
can't even buy coffee and rolls. If
Mckee can serve in any way as an
incentive to make Fiorello take off
his sweater and go in and slug, then
I say let Joe run and take his
licking along with John.

battling problem Of our age--how are
criminals made? Whatever it may
be, we an be sure that the real VIC
tim of Harvey is Harvey Bailey. No
matter what society has suffered at
his hands, the actual person upon
whom Bailey has preyed is Bailey
himself.
To be given long beautiful years,
and to use them only to promote
misery, wickedness and death con-
stitutes the most tragic error man is
capable of making. And so 1 say to
you that whatever they may call
themselves, or by what ever name
we call them, men like Harvey
Bailey are fools. Because no matter
what life does to us, there is but one
thing that can really defeat us-our
own behavior.

BETTER TO KNOW

THE senate committee on banking and
currency takes up again next week its i'm
portant work Of investigating banking
practices.
There IS reason to believe that the dra-
matte hearings of the spring and early sum-
mer viii prove to have been only a modest
introduction to the real revelations in store
for a country tying to get TO the bottom Of
its economic mystery. Somewhere, before va
can take the path to permanent prosperity,
must be found the answer to this question:
How did it happen that nation. apparently
soaring to undreamed-of heights of prosperity
one day, awakened the next to find itself
headed downward into an lmost bottomless
business and industrial depression? The
answer, many believe, viii be found only
through searching examination of our great
financial institutions.
A good beginning has been made in this
direction, but the senate has a long way yet
to go. 1t is not a job to be completed in a
hurry. The committee must be prepared to
follow any clew its Investigators may have
turned up during their summers work. 1t
must be prepared to close its ears to soft sug-
gestions that further questioning of the
bankers is likely to disturb confidence and so
retard the business recovery so desperately
desired. There will be no real recovery until
real confidence has been obtained, confidence
resting on knowledge.
Senator Fletcher. chairman Of the commit
tee. announced, after a conference with
President Roosevelt during the spring, that
the inquiry would be extended into the stock
market. That will take time. It likewise will
take a larger appropriation than the COM
mittee thus far has requested In its partial
report to the congress in January the COM
mittee should be prepared to ask for funds
with which to make this investigation as thor
ough as humanity possible.
The committee need have no doubt that
the country wants this research completed.
In 1928 and % the American people may nave
felt it was fun to be fooled. But they nave
learned it is better to know.

Disease May Result from Occupation

In the rug industry, as recently
has been pointed out, hands are
brought repeatedly in contact with
the wool in tying knots. The work
ers suffer greatly from the irrita-
ton of the dust and also occasion
ally from anthrax from wool taken
from infected sheep.
Workmen in dye factories, par
ticularly where aniline is much
used, sometimes suffer from acute
poisoning from aniline dyes.
The symptoms where such poi
soning occurs are peculiar blueness
of the lips and a deficiency of the
blood, due to this poison. In
chronic cases there may be marked
dizziness and loss Of memory, as
well as tremors of various types.
Thus medicine today scans every
industry as to its possible dangers
to health, and working conditions
everywhere are being made safer.
It is not surprising that the world
after 300 years should render such
tribute to the italian physician who
first realized the Importance Of &C.
cupation in relation to health.

PRICE OF POLITICS

TN all the noise that is being made about the
Il mayoralty fight in New York City you can
hear. if YOU listen closely. the ominous bowling
Of q very cold wind-the coolest wind, per-
hans that has ever shaken the fabric of
American democracy.
Back of the frantic negotiations, campaign
ings and wire-pullingS of the New York stu
alton. where the nations largest city tries
desperately to get Tammany of its back, there
stands the simple and unpleasant fact that
our system Of municipal government has come
perilously close to breaking down entirely.
New York is proving-just as Chicago and
q host Of other cities have already proved
that our familiar type of machine politics is
totally inadequate to meet the problems Of the
modern world.
For a great many years We have gone along
,nnocently handing over our city. county and
state governments to men h quite frankly

ment. but whose chief concern was the build

The results were scandalous but while
times we're good We could afford them, or We
thought we could. The local government be-
came the weakest link in the democratic
chain. but the chain was slack during pros
peritv and nobody minded very much. Now
the chain is stretched taut. The weak link is
being strained right to the breaking point.

a-nachronistic as one Of Columbus caravels. We

"LOW-BROW" MUSIC

DR. ARTHUR RODZINSKI, director of the
~ Cleveland orchestra, says that thigh
brow music has got to take off its soup-and-
fish regalia and make it's appeal to the man
who likes to sit around in his shirt sleeves.
"The idea that one has to be done out in
handsome clothes to hear a symphony concert
is foolishness," he remarks. And he adds that
hi plans "to take our orchestra to the people
who need it most, the workers"
If more orchestra conductors had this idea,
it is a safe bet that support of the high-class
musical organizations in America would not
rest so largely on the backs of the wealthy.
In too many cases society has made musical
functions an excuse to parade in evening
dress; and the ordinary man in the street, feel
ing like a fish out Of water in such a crowd,
simply stays away.
Genuinely fine music can be as popular in
America as anywlere-if the people who
sponsor it Just take the pains to doff the
high hat.

And he deliberately has turned all

He has messed up his life irremedi-
