BANKING FOLLIES IN
RAILROADING

Railroads are very much in the
limel;ght recently, for several rea-
sons.
First came the announcement that
they are going to demand a general
wage cut Of not less than 10 per cent.
On the heels of this came the frank
speech of Coordinator Joseph B. East
men, who told the Chamber of Com
merce of the state Of New York that
the railroads are not only failing to
seize opportunities for improving
their condition, but are rejecting such
opportunities when these are pointed
out for them. And now comes Charles
A. Beard, historian and economist,
who tells the senate committee on
interstate commerce that the waste
caused by banker management of the
railroads is largely responsible for
their present plight.
What Eastman and Beard say is en-
tirely true; but it does not seem to
labor that the moral Of railroad trou-
bles has been drawn as plainly as
might be done.
The chief guiding principle Of rail-
road policy since the lines were hand
ed back to private control after the
war has been one of incessant and
usually blind opposition to labor. 1t
seems based on the doctrine that any
thing is a good thing if it cuts wages
or lessons the number of workers.
Bigger engines, to haul longer trains
Of larger cars, over heavier rails
with fewer men; these things make up
the so-called Improvement" pro-
gram Of the railroads for a dozen
years; and when they fail. comes the
call for wage cut.
1t is economic lunacy to ask for
lower wages when living costs are
rising as they are now. It is almost
equally lunatic for the railroads to
resist and reject changes which prob
ably would enable them to get back
much of the package freight which
now goes by motor, and certainly Of
fers hope Of great increases in pas
senger revenues. 1t was at least a
delusion that made banker manage
ment squander billions to build up
railroad empires" which DR.. Beard
illustrated by the Van Sweringen case.
But all these follies are just a part
of the blind, dull, witiess antagonism
which the banking fraternity shows
toward labor whenever that fraternity
gets active control of a business. If
there is ever to be permanent pros
perity for the railroads, the bankers
must be ousted from their manage
ment.

TheCherry
HTv Where with our
roo Little Hatchet
we tell the truth
about many things, sometimes pro-
foundly, sometimes Eippantly,
sometimes recklessly.

Jesse Jones-the modern Jesse, not
the criginal--announces that the RFC
will have to take over business con-
Germs that default on their loans.
II they don't pay up, the govern
ment will take 'em over and run 'em.
Chairman Jones says the govern
ment doesn't want to be all cluttered
up with business concerns, but if it
has to take them over in order to col
lect its money, then the government
will do just that.
Surely this is most unorthodox. 1t
will, if it comes to pass-and some
of it probably will-be most puz-
zling situation.
There will be new angle to the
question of whether or not the gov
ernment should keep out of business.
The question may well be, how can
it get out? And if so, what then?
Of course all this was on the cards
when the government started to loan
money to business.
If the government didn't loan the
money lot Of business would be
bursted
If it did loan money it was, or should
have been, clear that there would be
those who couldn't repay.
TO be sure, this is a tragedy only
to those who are unable to adjust
their minds to new conditions, but to
them it is all pretty terrible.
However, the situation is not one
wholly or even very largely precipi-
tated by the loans which the RFC has
made. It was precipitated by the
methods of business itself.
In other years business houses We're
saved by loans made by such banks
as that of Mr.. Morgan and those that
couldn't pay were under the necessity
of forfeiting to Mr.. Morgan.
As between forfeiting to Mr.. Nor
gan and to Uncle Sam, why should we
get the jitters when Uncle takes the
jackpot?

STRAIGHT FROM
WASHINGTON
BY STEPHEN M. YOUNG
Congressman-at-Large

Congress got off to slow start.
There is some hope, however, that
many measures for the welfare of our
American people will be enacted in
the near future.
Amendments to the AAA, and old
age security legislation will surely be
voted on later. The exact form of
these measures cannot be foretold.
v&V v
This congress must not be permitted
by the American people to adjourn
unless affirmative action has been
taken to cut down the appallingly
large relief rolls and to start the
wheels of industry going once more.
There must be some definite assur-
ance that conditions will be better;
mere hope will not suffice.

Chairman Sam Dickstein, of the
munitions committee of the house of
representatives, wants the immigra-
ton laws to be liberalized. Tom Blan-

rupted wrangle between the two to

COMMENT ON WORLD EVENTS

COMMENT ON WORLD EVENTS
A Plan to take the profits out of war
has been laid before the munitions
committee of the United States senate
which at least grapples boldly with
this thorny subject, instead of doing
an egg-dance around it. 1t offers IL
proposals to be put into effect imme
diately on the declaration of war. The
following seem to be the more impor
tant of these proposals:
/. Take so per cent of the first 6 per
cent profits of corporations, and 100
pei cent of all over that in excess
profits.
2. Limit all individual incomes to
$4,000, and take all over that in in
come taxes.
g. Check numerous known methods
of defeating income tax levies.
4. Publicity for all salaries imme-
dlately upon declaration of war.
). Communicating of all essential
industries and services.
The plan was drawn by John I.
Flynn, one of the foremost and most
forceful writer's on economics, and
head of the research division of the
senate committee 1t is marked by Mr..
Flynn's usual wide range of knowledge
and brutal directness of attack. But
more important than even these quail
tiles in the writer is the fact that a
majority of the munitions committee
seems ready to embody most of these
proposals in bill to be laid before the
senate by April /.
70 say that the Flynn proposals will
wiring cries of anguish out of those
American corporation magnates who
piled up profits running above 100 per
cent d year in the last war is putting
it mildly. But Senator Nye, of North
Dakota, head of the committee, says
that the law to be presented will go
further still. 1t viii present:
"A plan dealing with profits III war
supplies in time of peace, which, in the
opinion Of the committee, is even more
important than even taking the profits
out of war after war has started"
These bold and far reaching plans
are well worth while, and the chances
are increasing that they will be fol-
lowed by drastic action. But why wait
for war to make some of the pro
posed reforms ? One proposal is to
check numerous known methods Of
defeating income tax levies." If meth
DDS Of tax evasion are known as
every well informed person believes
why not check them now?
The senate munitions inquiry, with
its startling revelations of the part
played by arms makers in fomenting
war, seems to have started what is
likely to become a worldwide investi-
cation. Largely as a result of the in
terest created by the American inves-
Itigation, Great Britain has launched
an inquiry into the private manufac-
ture of arms to be conducted by royal
commission of seven. Unfortunately
British labor is not represented on the
commission, but it is composed of out
standing men and may be expected tc
shed much light on the munitions in
dustry.
A strong demand for similar in
vestigation has been made in the
French Chamber of Deputies. France
is a center of the international arma-
ment ring and a searching investiga-
tion there should reveal many secrets
