A N invaluable guide to the functioning Of

The book is the best source produced so

The bureaucrats shown here by the actual

Defends CHARGE FOR
CASTING CHECKS
BY Rosemary Megenhardt

By Rosemary Megenhardt
In regard to the statement Of
Halford Williams in this column on
oct. 9, condemning banks for charge
on cashing checks:
Is it necessary for others to do
favors for you with no payment?
Would you expect to go to a grocery
and buy its products at cost? Tt
must have small profit to enable
1t to go on serving customers.
Present banking laws, made to
safeguard the public's money, have
cut down the earning power of the
banks and increased expenses. To
offset this, service charge must
be imposed.
Your suggestion that banks quit
altogether is made in ignorance of
facts and laws. The politicians
that you flay have made your fed
eral relief check possible.
# you wish, return to the obso-
lete cash pay envelope, thereby saw
ing much work and expense for the
banks in general.

To keep on telling persons they

the only way to keep them fooled.
Your editorial. "A Practical Plan"

Had the editorial writer looked
into the matter and said, "all this
is bunk about helping get us back
on the track-it must be cut out,
and the writers pretending to know
anything about economics must fig

BY Sherman Long.
The most perpleXing task con-
fronting the promoters of collec-
tive bargaining seems to be the
obliteration of the many perni-
cious legends which have been so
successfully instilled in the minds
of the toiling masses.
The masses seem obstinate in
the belief that capital has been
solely responsible for all technical
development, and that labor would
have been utterly helpless but for
the inclination of the capitalists.
Obviously, the competitive and
profiteering system invariably has
suppressed industrial art by
monopolizing the natural re-
sources, and by owning and ma
nipulating the tools of production.
Under the capitaliStic system,
when an inventive genius perfects
any profitable device, it is first
thoroughly investigated to aScer-
tain whether its use will effect the
profits of any capitalist enter
prise. If so, it is Immediately con-
ce&led and suppressed regardless
of the economic advantage it
would bring the majority.
AS the saying goes, 1T is neces-
sary to burn one house III order to
save the village"
So, under the capitalistic sys-
tenn, it is essential to exploit and
Cypress the masses so that the

it, yet are goofy enough to keep
at it.
The press, and politics, both, must
be dumped into the ash can and
when taken out perhaps a good
cleaning will fit them for use.
Tell the people the truth. Tell
them that politics, the press and the
big interests are not trying to get
us back to good times.
If the government wanted to end
crime, it would have established
federal police, set them to work 60
ing over the entire country with a
fine-tooth comb, instead of the pres
ent costly plan which is not good.
There seemed to be fear that
that kind OF policing would get
sorae of the big criminals and this
may lead to no telling where.
