PUBLIC OWNERSHIP

For several years the government-owned Ontario
power system has been held up by advocates of
government operation of utilities as shining ex-
ample of cheap power under political management.
Opponents of public ownership have charged that
the power commission sold current to farm and
household consumers often at loss in order to
gain popularity among the mass of the voters and
thus perpetuate its members in office. , CO..
A recent statement by T. Stewart Lyon, chair
man of the government power commission, showed
that the average cost of power delivered ip Toronto
had increased from $21.2S per horsepower in 1880
TO $SQ,08 in 1888. Also, the reserve fund to the
credit of the commission was reduced from $l4,-
629,57S in 1881 to approximately $6,500,0OO at
present loss for the period of more than eight
million dollars. .... ...
In 1888, Mr.. Lyon said power consumers of To-
ronto alone got their power for $825,O00 less than
it cost the government to deliver it. ~ ...
When, as is by. no means uncommon, a public
owner utility is operated at loss. such as that
shown by the Ontario system, the deficit is made
up, of course, by taxation Thus, although the con-
sumers power bill may be low, the public pays the
loss through increased tax bills. There is no magic
in public ownership whereby the people may get
something for nothing.-Monroe Enquirer.

WHY STRIKERS ARE IDLE

After the recent cotton mill strike, many workers
are claiming they Disseminated against by mill
owners Since numerous mills have found it neces-
Sary to cancel orders that they couldn't fill STRIKERS
returning to work find no wori; to do.
The Gastonia Gazette says: Several plants, how
ever are in the position, it is stated of being with
out orders on which to run, as much as the man
agement would like to resume work. 1t is claimed
by some of the arrangements that, during the time
their mills closed having been forced to do so
by flying squadrons,' the orders they had were
cancelled and that it is going to be necessary for
them to find some business before they can reopen
their plants. ..
''At the Loray MILL which has been employing
$50 people for some time as against 5000 when
operating at full capacity some 1900 or 1900 peo-
pie presented themselves at the plant this morning.
This necessitatcd turning away some 800 or 400
people for whom there was no work This fact gave
rise to false runners that workers were being dis
eliminated against and, it is understood, local union
officials wired President Lawrence of the State
Federation of Labor that Gastonia mills were dis
eliminating against union workers. Because OF cur
tailed operations in effect for several months past
practically every mill in the county has large
surplus of labor, all of which cannot be absorbed
at once it is stated."-Monroe Enquirer

NOT A FERTILE SOIL. FOR THIS

Legislative campaigns have been in progress in
various southern states during the past summer It
is worth noting that the one issue which was com,
in all the states was that of taxes 1t is worth
noting, further, that the people who Were most
active in pressing this issue were not the business
men of the cities but the farmers on the land
T. What does that mean? 1t means that the farmer
who owns land never forgets for moment that his
capital is in his land and its equipment. He does
not want to be robbed of his ownership by exees-
sive taxation. .t&..4,.. .,r.. 81,
Those who think that Socialism can be planted
permanently in region where land-ownership has
always been the goal of the people where land has
always been the prevailing investment, do not know
human nature, They do not know the South. The
soil of the South is ferte-but it is not fertile for
doctrine that would destroy the southern herit-
age.-Soatherp Agrieulturist

NEWSPAPERS OPINION
SOCIALISM

i You are acquainted of course, with the political
schools that would create economic society in
which there would be such an equal distribution OF
wealth-they would so fix things that those who
earn the greater would be leveled to the basis of
those who earn the lesser.
| They have no argument. But they do have lot
of sugar-coated sophistry that goes down the gull
let of the guilible like sugar ..r
Tie college" and the pulpits have proclaimers
for the same standardization of riches. They go
at it through the backdoor method. They would
eliminate the profit motive and accomplish their
! reform by that hgh-sounding palliative.
You may ear one of them say sometime that
Jesus was Socialst-the greatest Socialist of all
time, as l heard minister declare the other day
He is unfortunate in his terms if he really is try
ing to say merely that Jesus was the most social
minded reformer of all the ages. He was all OF
that, he was none of the other. $50,
Should he come to Charlotte some of these days
as he walked the streets of the cities Of his gen.
Grafton step into some store factory and ask If
they were operating in there on the incentive of
making both ends meet and then having little
margin of profit over, there is nothing in the BIZ
ography left of Him, nothing in His philosophy as
personally expounded to His contemporaries, to
and sc0urge them from their secular temples,
1t was his economic judgment that "'ro him that
hath shall be given in the form of increment, in
the form of profits if you please.
And "from him that hath not shall be taken that
Which he hath" that which he, somehow or other,
managed to get which he was not entitled to on a
sweet-basis in the first place.
He, of course, knew that the socialistic or conf
munstic economic structure built upon the theory
that everybody ought to have the same amount and
that the Industrious man should be punished for
his thrift while the drone should be rewarded for
his suggishness and vagabondage were to be
adopted, the process of equal distribution would
have to be repeated every few years.
And that's the proof of the unsoundness OF the
theory that all wealth, all income, all earnings be-
long to all people in equal proportion without re-
gard for the kind OF volume of service which are
exchanged.7=Julian S. Miller in Charlotte Observer

I'm THE LAST DAYS"

In these days when Bible proph-
ecies are being literally fulfilled,
it is almost unbelievable that
there are still those who scott at
the Christians belief in the lit
eral and speedy return of Jesus
Christ. In some instances the
scoffers are professors, authors,
scientists-men of highest learn
ing, yet pathetically ignorant,
seemingly, of the rich truths of
the greatest and rarest of all
books-the Holy Bible.
A widely known author of a
number of so-callei religious
books declares the belief in the
literal advent of Christ to be
"preposterous." Contrary to the
teachings of the Scriptures (Acts
l :9-11) he states that Christ was
not carried up into heaven but
that he was merely hidden by a
cloud from the apostels' sight
and, although unseen by men, is
still on earth today. Further
more, he SCOTS at the belief in
a great and final judgment day,
declaring that men are judged
and awarded according to their
works everyday. What a vast
amount of harm can be wrought
by such false doctrine; only too
often it is the means of leading
many people from the truth. "Be-
ware lest any man spoil you
through philosophy and vain de-
ceit, after the tradition sof men,
after the rudiments of the world,
and not after hrist" (Col. 2:S).
The true Christian, however. is
unmoved by such heresy; firm
and mistaken in the conviction
that we are living in the last
days and that Christ's coming is
near "even at the DOORS" Of
course we do not know the exact
day or hour of His coming, for
the Scriptures declare: "Of ut
day and hour knoweth no man,
no, not the angels Of heaven, but
my Father only" MAT. "a :36).
We have only to read Mat. "a
and II Tim. 8 to realize that the
prophecies related therein, con-
corning the last days, are being
fulfilled daily. These chapters
present a clear prophetic picture
Of the last days, which any OBJ
serving person can easily see is a,
picture of present times. So it
behooves US as followers of Jesus
Christ to "stand fast in the faith"
for He for he says: Behold |
come quickly: and my reward is
with me to give every man &C
cording as his works shall be
(Rev. 22:12). -. ...

human kindness or Of compassion
for a person who couldn't make
the grade, who couldn't handle
the levers, who couldn't work the
controls and who in consequence
was always getting cracked up or
getting cracked down on.
But l have never heard anyone
jump onto the old man for his
manifest part in the prodigaPs
lucklesS adventure into the world
and the grief to which he came.
The father of the prodigal made
the escapade Of the prodigal pos
sible. In fact, he encouraged it.
What did he do? Why, when the
irresponsible youth came to him
and demanded in advance of the
old mans death the share Of the
estate which he might expect at
the old mans death, the old man
anded it over.
And the prodigal. irresponsible,
not to be trusted with money or
with anything else of value, went
forth into the world, INDUCED in
riotous living, and wasted every
thing, slick dime Of the sum his
father had so foolishly given him.
So it is small wonder that the
old man bordering the situation,
realizing that he himself was to
blame for the prodigal's sad
plight, was deeply remorseful, and
on the other hand when the prodi-
gal returned without permanent
harm, was highly grateful that
nothing worse had occurred. He
expressed his relief and his joy.
