This Light Constituted . menace Is
certain styles Of motor vehicles I'd that
It extended bit higher from the plane
of the street than was safe if, by any
chance an auto should straddle it. A
very valuable car, not many months
ago, was damaged underneath to the
extent of considerable money when it
was driven over this light. The fact
remains that the signal was not put
there to be run over, but accidents
will happen. If the cause can be re-
moved and something substituted just
as good, it is a wise move to do it.
The Council has wisely taken this view
of it.
Needed repairs are also being made
to the curbing at both corners Of the
intersection of Market street and
Clarke Avenue, thus improving the
conditions affecting Callahan's and
Penney and Company's Stores. The
curling at these places had become
broken and had fallen out Of line and
BESIDES being unsightly constituted a
danger to pedestrians.
Work is stiH progressing ON the lay
ing OF new and larger drains on Front
street and Clarke Avenue these be-
ing connections to that recently fin
ished on Linden Avenue. This be-
came necessary as the result of over
flows in streets and cellars on the
occasions of big rains. If this is ov-
ercome a great relief will be youch-
safed to the residents on these streets.
Everybody is loud in their favor
able comments on the widening of
Market Street. The appearance Of this
approach to Pocomoke has been i'm
proved one hundred per cent, and is
noticed by everyone using that ugh
way. The bed of the street from
Eighth street to the City limits has
not yet had it's finishing coat. This
will receive an overlap of fine stone
dust, tarred and rolled which will
make big improvement.
The information given out recently
that an ornamental light was to be
placed on Clarke Avenue between Mar
ket and Vine, has not yet materialized.
1t is to be hoped that this additional
illumination in that square has not
been abandoned. It is much needed
and would be a boon to the general
shopping trade. |
Workmen are busy removing the
older buildings of the school prop
erty now being used for the Elemen-
tary grades, and thus house which
served as an educational center for
many years, disappears from view.
Additional play ground will be fur
nished by the space they occupied and
thus be an advantage to the children.

The Court on Price Fixing.
CNew York world-Telegram0

The Supreme Court says the Constitution does not protect the inefficient business mans prices
 It so states in unanimous decision rejecting the plea of a New York milk wholesaler who contendeo that New Yorks minimum prices set up under it's milk control law, have become maximum prices and also that he could not make money at that rate.
 If such price-fixing orders "are not arbitrary flats the court will stand aloof."
 This is of major importance to the whole MIRA and AAA code setup, particularly to those interested in the plight of the small business man.
 It means that the State Legislatures and Con- gress can regulate business for the public welfare without being compelled to guarantee profits for everyone concerned.
 True of course, it is" says MT. Justice Cardozo for the Court that the weaker members of the group tthe marginal operators even others above the margin) may find themselves unable to keep pace with the stronger but it is their comparative inefficiency, not tyranncal compulson, that makes them laggard in the race"
 Such a policy if followed by lawmakers and administrators might lead to a regulated monopoly.
The Daily Alaska empire., 1934-11-21

But there, is not much danger of that under present administrative policies. The Recovery Act forbids the breeding of monopolies through codes How closely NRAAis following this and other limi- tations of the act. is shown by it's record-court victories in more than 90 per cent of it's litigation
 On the other hand, if price levels are fixed to save little felows-and they have been in some cases-it appears that the big fellows may make excessive profits.
 as an insurance against economic suicide, there fore, the responsibility is plainly up to lawmakers and administrators They must do what they can to see that producer distributor consumer all are treated fairly.
 In most cases however the Government trend in our judgment should be away from price fixing of any kind.

At Japan's Discretion.
fNew York Herald Tribune

fNew York Herald Tribune9 s- '-a4+ 1 Throughout most of the year 1882 when the Japanese were alternating ManchWia, setting up Manchukuo and courtng international recognition I of the "puppet" State, the pledge was frequently broadcast from Toko that Manclukuo would respect the principle of the Open Door and would guaran- tee to all the commercial powers the equal trade opportunities to which they were entitled under their treaties with China This pledge was not conditional Japan said that those powers which recognized Manchukuo and others would continue to enjoy their Chinese treaty rights. But it was informal, and it was never acknowledged by any nation be- cause acknowledgement of it would have implied recognition of Manchukuo of Japans hegemony over that State, and of her consequent right to de- fine the conditions under which aliens could do business there.
 At any rate the pledge has gone by the board, for the Japanese military insist that the sale of oil in Manchuria--a commodity essential to the de- fense of the territory-muSt be Japanese monopoly and the Japanese Government however it feels about it. has had to reject the pleas of the American and British Embassies in defense of the established rights and interests of the Standard Oil Company the Texas Company and the Asiatc Petroleum Company. It is reported from the Orient that Japanese monop oes upon many other lines of trade, much less clearly related to Manchukuo's defense, con- templated There is probably little doubt that they will be established This raises the whole question of the rights-f any-of the non-Japanese trader in Manchuria and Jehol
 
 Manchuria has not been legally alienated from China and is only temporarily detached from that nations sovereignty; so the non-Japanese should still enjoy there every privilege and opportunity that China guaranteed him by treaty, including in British, American, and other cases the extra territorial right of consular Jurisdiction This speci- fic right it must be pointed out to Japans credit, has been challenged, and the consuls of the several powers, holding their exequaturs from Nan king, function in Manchukuo precisely they did before it's alienation Apart from their rights under the Chinese treaties however the Occidental powers hold Japan directly bound to maintain the Open Door by clause in Article III of the nine power treaty which prohibits "any monopoly prefer ence in China which is calculated to frustrate the application of the principle of equal opportunity
 To this citation the Japanese promptly respond by pointing to the words "in China" "Manchukuo lis not China" they said. Tt is" say we, though temporarily alienated by force majeure" Lasting fly independent by voluntary action' the Japanese Iretort That you allege but do not accept" say the major Occidental powers. 'Too bad," say the Japanese. And that is position in the realm of His Majesty Rang Teh mechanically full of rights but actually endowed with whatever privileges the Japanese satrapy there feels that Tokio can safely recognize.

STILL TOO MANY BOOTLEGGERS.

A potent argument for the reduction of the Fed era liquor is obvious in the report of Activities of Investigators Alcohol Tax Unit for Week Ending October G. 1884"
 The report reveals that: 236 stills were seized
 capacity 33 797 gallons 12221 gallons spirits seized 4l25l5 gallons mash seized; 55 autos and trucks seized; s73947 worth of property seized and 443 arrests made.
 Such a weekly report indicates that bootleggng evidently is still profitable in parts of the nation One of the surest ways to eliminate the evil of bootegging which grew to ndescribable malicious potency during Prohibition is to take the proflt out of it. Lowering the Federal taxes on legitimate liquor with consequent lowering Of the retail price of liquor is the surest way to combat the poot- logger.
