AN EXPENSIVE LESSON

The future of government bust
ness Is not so bright as 1t seemed
awhile ago.
The people have discovered some
thing. They have found that the only
way their community can build, for
example, a power plant. is to float q
bond issue. They have found that
this requires vast sums of additional
tax money-laid on top of already
onerous taxes. They have found, too,
that when such technical endeavors
as power plants are operated by
politics, deficits customarily occur.
These, as well, must be paid by the
people through increased taxes. Again,
they have found that bookkeeping for
publicly owned utility, not subject
to public regulation, is of a curious
sort. Pleasant reports are issued
which take little or no account Of
overhead, depreciation, wear and tear.
When the time comes for replacement
of broken-down machinery there is
usually no money in the till-and the
taxpayer is again called upon.
People are learning by dear expert
ence that when government goes into
business in competition with its citi-
zens, they have lost, not gained-that
such service furnished them "at cost"
means generally "at cost" to their own
pocketbooks. The propon nts of
schemes to put government into bust
ness never put up the money-they
put up the spiel" to obligate the tax
payer and then they absorb tax funds
through countless new jobs.

no little master-minding will be

This will be especially vital if it is
close. hard-fought game. with each

may We not suggest that the finishing

southpaws who have no compunction
about being called to duty at odd
hours and seemingly thrive in a fire

Since they developed these hard

their value in the pinches and prob
ably will save them for the latter
and more nerve-racking stages of
the contest.
1t will be fun no matter in what
order the pick of the two big league

the opportunity for a brother act
If Wes Ferrell goes on duty at

We understand they were not so far
up the list in the voting, yet it is
possible the American Leaguers over
looked bet by leaving Heinie Manush
and Fred Schultz, the Washington out
field sluggers, off the squad. Both are
away ahead of Earl Averill, the Cleve-
land selection, in the seasons batting
performances. They might come in
handy for pinch duty, even if they
couldn't be squeezed into the starting
lineup.
The American League has heavier
hitting array for the aH-star grdpple,
but it may be due to the fact their
ball is liuelier.
Giuen the same ammunition, Chuck

Pepper Martin and other National

advantage to their rivals "of the

The pitchers, at least, won't have
much worrying to do about the weak

won't be any worth mentioning and they
