TRAIN SPEED LIMIT
PROVED BOOMERANG

BY ]. X.
A suggestion that 10-mile-an-
hour speed limit for trains be Ell
forced in this city calls to my mind
an experiment made by northern
Indiana city some years ago.
The city notified officials Of this
railroad that after a certain date
the ordinance prohibiting trains
operating faster than the set speed
would be strictly enforced. Prompt
arrest was TO be made Of any train
crews operating trains faster than
this speed.
The railroad complied with a
vengeance. In fact, all trains in
cluding long freight trains were run
through the town as slowly as it
was possible without coming to a
complete standstill.
Things began to happen then. A
worker whose misfortune it was to
have cross the railroad tracks
found to his dismay that he must
arise an hour or more earlier in the
morning in order to reach his place
of employment on time. And if he
ever got home in the evening. he
was lucky.
Trains of 10 to a 100 cars were

Men do not live by Constitutions;
states rights are poor substitutes for
shirts, skirts and pants.
Milk, meat and bread do not flow
out of bank doors; shelter, comfort
and warmth nre not begotten by
holding companies, good, bad or in
different. All that our miserable
millions want is work. Get that,
work. A chance to earn their daily
bread by the sweat Of their brow.
Labor creates all wealth. Paralyze
the arm of labor and life decays.
But instead of freeing labor from
the death grip Of your beloved profit
motive, you prattle about the ma
jesty of the law, the superiority OF
our political institutions; the pest
government ever conceived by the
mind of mortal men; about old
glory, liberty and democracy, and
with all these noble things you
haven't the power, CUTS, nor gump-
ton to pry up a single factory gate
to give work and bread to hungry
men.
There is but one issue before the
American people and that is restor-
ing the union between capital and
labor by making the means upon
which the life of the nation depends
the property Of the nation. Only
by fusing ownership and labor on
the higher plane of social ownership
and operation may labor secure the
right of labor and the full fruit Of
its labor.
Capitalism has reached the stage
of putrif1cent fermentation. 1t
smells worse than a compulsory
union to me. The future belongs
to Socialism, call it what you viii.
The only question is, shall it come
in the right Of reason or the red
glow Of burning cities? The rest
to me is SWindle..

Comments ON Credit Situation

workers in industry on relief,
causing Stagnation of production
and constantly increasing taxa
ton.
If we are to establish sane
economic order, our first step
should be to abolish the lending
Of credit through, bond issues,
mortgages, notes and equipment
trust certificates. The medium of
exchange should never be sold as
a commodity for hire at fixed
rates and so become a burden
upon the earning power of indus
try and wage earners. Investment
of capital should only be permit
ted on basis of participation in
the actual earnings of industries
after operating cost has been met.
No fixed preferred charges as bond
or mortgage interest should be
permitted by law: If there are no
profits, there will be no interest
dividends.
The charges now resting upon
industry in the form of fixed in
terest obligations are the milestone
around the neck of industry. The
new bank bill makes the added
interest charge load even heavier.
1t is poison to the economic body.
We need to have a law to force
fixed interest charges out of the
economic stomach.
AS long as we tinker with bank
credit as a substitute for real
money. we may look forward to
the same idiotic paroxysms, which
force us to feed and clothe mil
lions Of our citizens, while we have
the means for providing luxu-
rious living for every family in
America, by using invisible money
instead Of vaporouS bank credit
as exchange. The bill is a BOOM

MUSSOLINI PRESENTS A
WORLD PROBLEM

BY the Unknown Citizen
Looking through the keyhole is
an old sport. A fellow may not see
the whole room, but some Of the
furniture is bound to be seen. So
it is with Italy and Europe as well
as Uncle Sam in the present tangle.
This much Is worth remembering.
The politician banker crowd at
the time of the Versailles pow-wow
backed Mussolini as the white mans
hope against the Bolsheviks. In the
years that followed this crowd
loaned him plenty Of money to de-
veIop his capitalistic state. Well,
it was a happy time as long as the
money lasted.
Now it has run out. The hide
and-seek game begins. The po-
litico-banker crowd is demanding
their ducats and interest on them.
AIusSolini says that if he is allowed
to add to his collateral by grabbing
Ethiopia these fellows may get their
ducats. Since the ducats came from
many bystanderS it is not so SIM
pie. For, II the banker gets his
ducats and interest, some Of those
who put up the ducats may find
their holdings endangered.
And, if the banker tells Musso-
lini he need not pay back the ducats
and interest those same fellows who
put them up in the first place will
be out their ducats. Through the
keyhole it looks like the owners
of the ducats will have to take a
chance on one of two things, either
the land holdings around Ethiopia
will be less secure possibly or old
original ducats will not come troop
ing home bearing their interest be-
hind them. Only old lady luck her
self knows the answer to this puzzle

BY Reader
Lyle C. Wilson, your United
Press staff correspondent, gave
an excellent description of the
New Deal bank bill which was
signed by the President on Aug.
%. 1t was pointed out that the
bank bill was expected to cheaper
the dollar by expanding the use
of credit and that it had been
demonstrated often enough that
credit expansion is an effective
and sometimes uncomfortable
business boomer as was recently
demonstrated by the episode end
ing in the debacle Of 1929.
This bank bill is opposed to the
so-called intlationist theory of
cheapening dollars by creating
more dollars. If it does anything,
it most certainly provides for
greater imitation of credit than
was possible under the old bank
law. Banks may and are encour-
aged now to lend on real estate
security. Have we forgotten that
the banks that had real estate
loans cracked up in the 1880 to
1888 smash of banks?
The act further provides that
discountable paper shall not be
limited to 90-day obligations.
More air is to be blown into the
credit bubble. If this is not quack
doctoring, then we must burn the
patient with acid to cure the fire
burns.
Behind the financial and indus
trial fiasco stalked the ghost Of
credit. Credit is the evil gnome
that drives the wheels of industry
beyond the limit of safety, and
always wrecks the machinery of
production, throwing our indus
tries into bankruDtcv and our

dow. AS we have said before this
particular spot is the haven for the
worst element on the northside and
has of late became the headquarters
of those coming from other sections
of the city as well IS out Of town.
For decency's sake this particular
spot should be restricted in It's ae-
Invites or be compelled to close it,
doors. Opened for the purpose Of
catering to the Negro trade, instead
it has diverted from its purpose
thugs, gamblers, pimps and whatnot
are to be found IN it 1T all times.
No decent citizen would think Of en-:
tering it's doors for ksr8ices. a..
In spite Of the threats hurled ct
us by those we hsse exposed We
shall continue to do so until they can't
find place in Minneapolis to oper-
ate, despite their cry That when we
attack their dens that we are de-
priving them Of living and that
they draw a salary for such operat-
ing such dives and their contention
that these proprietors employ Negro
help does not interest Us In the least.
If it means that Minneapolis must
be overrun with these dives and that
they are the only source of employ
ment for Negroes then we pity them.
But this is far from the truth, those
SO employed are because they want
to be. Gambling is gambling wheth-
er it be a game Of "hearts" or any
other game, call 1t what you viii.
We challenge these defenders to
show US what they have contributed
to the welfare of Minneapolis. We
are not afraid Of losing circulation
because of our attack on these dives.
