THE ONE GREAT EXCEPTION

The San Francisco Chronicle PORTS
out that while government is seeking to re-
duce all commodity SURPRISES in order to
restore price parity, one industry seems to
be eonspicuously denied such benefits,
namely, electric power. Destructive COM
petition in power is subject 70 the same
condemnation as in any other commodity. =
says the Chronicle. with the additional
evil of governments unfair advantage in
competing with private business"
Proponents of the plan to socialize the
electric industry claim that large power
projects such as those in the Tennessee
Valley and the Northwest are to furnish a
yardstick to measure the cost of cleo
tricity over the nation. That is merely a
clever statement as any fair analysis will
prove. On this point. the Chronicle says:
If the publicly owned utilities would
adopt and follow the standard forms of ac-
counting demanded by utility boards on all
privately owned utilities, there would be a
basis for comparison. But there can be no
yardstiek. The cost of electricity depends
upon the location of the plants, the market,
their volume and many other facts that
vary with the localities"
There is no more erroneous belief than
the idea that there cannot be too much
power Electricity is a commodity
exactly as is food, clothing, automobiles.
We can generate twice as much power as
is being generated now (precisely as we
could make twice as many automobiles, or
raise twice as much corn or twice as much
wheat as we need)-but there is no known
way of making the people buy and use the
surplus that would be created. The re-
suit is that either the taxpayers or the in
vestors suffer.

FREE SPEECH UPHELD
(Fort Myers News-Press)


As interpreted by the supreme court a rather
silly provision in the election law is given use
ful mission. This is the provision prohibiting the
circulating O. charges against candidate with
in Is days OF the election unless the object Of
ATTACK" is furnished with an advance copy.
As invoked in Miami case an attempt was
made to apply tie statute to public address which
was broadcast by radio and published in the news
papers. The court held that this was violation
OF the law taking the position that the legislature
had not intended ito restrain ordinary public cam
paign speeches or the publication of reports of
such speeches in the newspapers" The statute ap-
plies. the court went to say, only to 'unan-
nounced publication and circulation of charges
and attacks upon a candidate OF a kind designed
and intended to be passed from hand to hand;"
that is to say the handbin form of campaign
literature.
I'm fine the opinion summed up, zone of
the objects of the statute appears to have been
largely to limit candidates and their supporters to
the of the stump of disseminating
their charges, rather than causing them to be re-
scattered surreptitiOusly against candidate"
Viewed in this light the court found the law "an
aid rather than deterrent of free speech and
press by restraining the launching of secretly pre-
pared charges and attacks sponsored by persons,
whose identity may or may not be disclosed" The
court held that the requirement of reasonable
advance notice" was met by voicing them in pub
lie forum like the speakers platform through
the ordinary medium o. the press"
That sensible opinion takes most of the buga-
boo out of the 18-days'notice provision. 1t still
leaves the statute rather vague to what
stitutes attacks and charges but it makes lit
tie difference since il they are spoken from the
platform or published in newspapers of general
circulation they are not actionable. What is BAN
ned is the printing of handbills and circulars
These commonly unsigned or obscure to
authorship and usually circulated under cover.
They should be banned. But fellow who speaks
up in open meeting puts a piece in the paper
over his own name is entitled to the protection of
the constitutional guarantee of free speech and
free press, restricted only by the libel laws.

the movement Of ice and warns
all ships when danger appears.
There has not been a sinking due
to ice since.
The sinking of the Lusitania BY
a U-boat resulted in an agree
ment between the five great
naval powers not to attack mer-
chantmen IN time of war.
In 1923 came the Vestris dis
asster. Beset by storm, the ship
listed until it sank with loss Of
Ito people. The inquiry de-
veloped that it had been over
loaded. that its life-bOats were. in
poor condition, and that there
were innumerable other faults. II
was said that the s. o. S. had been
purposely delayed, because the
Captain did not wish to force his
company to pay salvage costs, and
preferred to take a chance on
making port. Consequences were
a revised salvage law, and more
stringent rules for inspecting
ships.

A great sea disaster IS drama
in the grand manner. Nothing
presented on the stage or through
the printed word. can approach it
in tragedy, vividness. power.
Good newsmen. reporting one of
these rare events, seldom use
flowery or oyer-dramatized writ
ing-they present the simple
facts, and that is enough.
In time the general public for
gets a disaster. But the law
doesn't. Many important regula-
tions covering construction and
operation OF modern ships stem
from disasters which taught les
sons that could not be learned in
any other way. According to the
New York Times. which recently
traced the influence Of marine
tragedies on marine law, every
great maritime disaster of recent
times has resulted in new protec-
tive legislation.
The first Of the wrecks that
started this trend was that of La
Bourgogne, on july 4, 1898.
Bound from New York TO France
with 725 passengers and crew, she
eollided with a sailing ship in
fog and sank in forty minutes.
Only 163 were saved-and of
these but one was a woman,
though 800 were aboard. 1t was
proven that the crew had failed
its responsibility = had saved
themselves at the expense of the
passengers. The result was
tightening up of ship discipline
throughout the world.
Then, in 1909, the Republic,
carrying 461 passengers, was
rammed off Nantucket. Though
both holds filled, she kept afloat
long enough to bring a rescue
ship in response to an S. o. s.
Every passenger was saved, and
the necessity of radio was in
stantly realized - comparatively
few ships were so equipped at the
time. The result was laws making
radio equipment mandatory. first
on liners, then on freighters as
well.
The next great disaster, April
Ia, 1912-one of the worst in
marine history-was the Titanic,
marvel of the seas" Her bottom
almost sliced off by a submerged
iceberg, she went down in three
hours and 1,517 of the 2,340 per-
sons aboard were lost. Out of
that tragedy came the North At
lantic Ice Patrol, which checks on

HUGE GAIN SEEN
IN BANK DEPOSITS
Reserve Members Disclose
$2,827,0 900, 600 Increase
Since First of 1894.
BY CHAS. p. SHAEFFER,

An increase of s2,827, ,oo0,o in de-
posits Of weekly reporting member
banks of the Federal Reserve System
since the first of the year is revealed in
the latest condition statement of these
banks, issued by the Reserve Board.
Inasmuch as these institutions rep
resent approximately As per cent of the
deposits of all commercial banks of the
country, the net increase in deposits
of all banks should be in the neigh
borhood of s6.300,000, 900 in the same
period, should the same ratio Of gain
prevail.
The latest statement Of reporting
member banks, which comprise in
stitutions in 81 leading cities, showed
total deposits of $18, 100000 as of
the close Of business December IL,
compared with $15,3O3 100000 last
January 3.
These figures, which are exclusive of
Government deposits, showed that net
demand climbed S2,837, ,000,0 900 in the
period, while time deposits were de-
clining by S10,000,000.
Reserve Board officials believe the
majority Of this increase has been due
to the heavy Government bond iota-
tions during the same period which
has increased the public debt by more
than $4,000, 100000, bringing it to
S28. .387 ,000, boo as shown by the latest
Treasury statement.
The increase in deposits is not con-
centrated in any one section of the
country, but is spread throughout the
Nation, the Reserve Boards statement
shows. In the table that follows the
deposits Of weekly reporting member
banks, by Federal Reserve districts,
are shown as of the close of business
January 3, and December II, with the
change for the periods:
