a splendid place for children to

RITTENHOUSE ST.:
Driving out in the direction
of Walter Reed Hospital, I dis
covered another one of those
delightful small homes. Semi.
detached with a built-in garage,
oil burner, electric refrigeration,
I believe this is one of the most
complete homes I have visited.
The first floor plan consists Of
living room. dining room,
kitchen, breakfast porch and
hall. On the second floor was
a master bedroom, a second
bedroom Of considerable size
and a small bedroom just the
right size for the boy or girl
going to school and a screened
in porch. This house is in a
very convenient location as the
new Junior High is five minutes
away, a parochial and public
school just around the corner
and just about ten minutes
from the New Roosevelt High
School. This can be rented at
$50 month and I am sure the
family that rents it will have
comfortable living quarters as
the house is lastly furnished
and equipped with every con-
venience, such as electric wash
ing machine. Call my office If
interested in a home Of this
type.

THEY ALL GO BACK

Charles E. Mitchell, formerly head
of the National City Bank of New
York, was chased from his high estate
by revelations of the role he played
in the wild boom of the 192o's and
the crash that followed No members
Of Wall street rank high in public
estimation, and Mitchell ranks dis.
tinctly lower in that regard than most
of his broking and banking brethren
But he has opened new office ir
New York, and is expected to special
ize in reorganizing corporations.
There seems to be nothing to say
about this performance that has not
already been said by Kipling, thus:
THE dog returns to his vomit, the
sow returns to her mire,
And the burnt fools bandaged fin
ger goes wobbling back to the
fire."

which the following extract is taken:
The ruthlessly suppressed masses
are merely the instrument for these
tyrants, who do not regard them as
differing in any way from dead mat
ter. Calculations are made with the
mass man just as calculations are
made with machinery, goods, construc-
ton. Man is a cipher, he is just one
particle of an immense machine. He
is not allowed will of his own. The
will belongs to the dictator The mass
man is not allowed to create or to
strive for progress, for the dictator
alone decides whether he shall go for
ward or be submerged"
OF course the ''Deutsche" is not talk
ing about Germany, but about
Russia! And the dictator is not the
one who lives in Berlin, but the Jew
ish dictator" in Moscow! But what
the ''Deutsche" says applies with
equal force to Germany. Some day
the German masses will realize this
and then goodbye to Herr Hitler and

After telling at length and with a
wealth of evidence the story of the
high crimes and misdemeanors per-
petrated on American consumers and
investors by the privately-owned util-
tiles of the country, the federal trade
commission makes some suggestions
to congress for stopping such work.
Since most of the chiseling and goug
ing and nearly all the stock imitation
was done through the agency of the
holding company, the ETC devotes its
main attention to that
And of all the weapons which can
be brought to bear on predatory hold
ing companies, the ETC finds that the
most effective is taxation.
The thoroughness with which the
commission has probed the possibili-
ties of holding company taxes is i'm
pressive. 1t suggests tax on the
net income of any holding company
which is derived from other states
than the one in which that holding
company is Incorporated. 1t urges an
excise tax on the holdings by one
company Of stock in another. Both
Of these taxes get higher as the sums
involved get larger.
Then the ETC proposes a tax on all
transactions between companies in
which one corporation or any Of it's
officers or directors has an interest in
one side Of the transaction; tax on
the gross income of holding COM
panies, graduated uwpard like a
holding tax; a tax on stock authorized
but lot issued-which really means
tax on imitation.
The ETC proposes other reforms not
connected with taxation. For example
it suggests that congress prohibit in

Industrial Disputes in Sweden-T The

Industrial Disputes in Sweden-The
weekly Industrial and Labor Infor-
nation" published by the International
Labor Office reports the introduction
by the Swedish government of a bill
relating to economic forms of mill
tant action" which will protect per-
sons indirectly affected by industrial
disputes. Three forms of action are
specified as coming within the scope
of the measure: Collective action,
such as strikes and lockouts; termina-
tion of contracts of employment; other
suspensions resulting from the joint
action of two or more persons.
While infringements of the act will
not be treated as criminal offenses,
the special court set up under the act
may punish the offenders by an award
of damages.

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

Washington newspapers feature
pictures of young man, "a, and his
bride, 3-year-old widow That's
news. Wait until DR.. Townsend's
plan goes through. Such marriages
will be frequent. A lot of young men
will be willing to help elderly ladies
spend 5000 each month. Sweet young
things will go for the elderly gentle
men, too.
The federal government should take
the lead in establishing old age secur-
ity legislation. More than three hum
dred and fifty years ago, during the
reign of Queen Elizabeth, somebody
thought of the poor house. Since
Queen Elizabeth's time we have ex-
changed the candle for the electric
light; the horse for the railroad, auto
mobile and .airplane. We have done
nothing about the poor house. Instead
of "over the hill to the poor house"
adequate old age security legislation
should be adopted. The aged who
are infrm and dependent should be
cared for in scientific and adequate
manner. Methods of 1888 should not
be tolerated. We should free white
hair and wrinkled brows from the
dread and anxiety of INDECENT old age.
The military affairs committee of the
house of representative has, following
most thorough investigation, pub
licly denounced Major General Fou-
lois, chief of the army air corps.
Also other high-ranking army Off
GERS are being accused of dishonesty
and corruption. This because Of the
purchase of faulty planes and defect
i've material for army use. On his
toric occasion President Grant said,
Let no guilty man escape" Army
| officers who betray their country and
profit corruptly should not only be
court-martialed and removed from the
service, they should be sent to prison.

!" Where with our
roo Little Hatchef
we tell the truth
about many things, sometimes pro-
foundly, sometimes dippantly,
sometimes recklessly.

So, it seems the president doesn't
want to have the prevailing wage paid
for work done under the enormous
new program
Now isn't that a nice how-de-do9
The theory seems to be that this
program is to keep folks from going
hungry, and that nothing more need
be done about it.
Might be nice theory, if it was
bit sounder
But it happens to be a weak
theory
The big truth is that any big pay
roll at cut rates tends to urge all other
payrolls to come down and join it in
the cellar
1t looks like reverse action, as far
as recovery goes.
y
Say this for Harry Hopkins; He
hasn't been looking toward wage cuts
He seems to have done what he could
to stick to the prevailing rate.
Of course Hopkins can't buck the
whole administration forever, but he
has stuck to his guns as long as he
could
,, And Hopkins has got action. Where
others would have stalled along
through the red tape, this boy Hopkin:
has brought out his trusty sword ane
slashed the tape out of his path.
He seems to be the kind of mar

its rates on any sum greater than
the actual prudent investment in the
property. Going farther, it says that
congress should submit interstate
commerce in inflated securities. But
the commissions main reliance is on
taxation.
In this, the ETC is taking leaf out
of the book of experience The sim
plest, surest way to stop commercial
gouging or malpractice is to make
it Improbable; and the simplest way
to do that is by taxing it.
After regulatory laws had stumbled
and wobbled, this country wiped out
the poisonous phosphorus by taxing
it. 1t can do the same with holding
companies; and some Of these are as
poisonous as phosphorus.

COMMENT ON WORLD EVENTS

J. P. Morgan has sold six of his
world-famous pictures at price Of
about s1,50o,Ooo, or quarter of a
million apiece. Two of the pictures
are by Franz Halls, one by Peter Paul
Rubens, Fra Filippo Lippi, Ghirlan-
daio, and Sir Thomas Lawrence.
Doubtless all the paintings are first
class-if Franz Halls ever painted a
poor picture, the matter has escaped
attention. But Of the six paintings
supposed to command a price averag-
ing $25e,0o0 each, FIVE were painted
by men now more than two centuries
dead, and Lawrence, who came long
after all the others, died in 1880.
There have been thousands of good
and large numbers of great paintings
completed since Lawrence laid down
ms brush. Remembering these, it is
clear that the price paid for the six
Morgan paintings represents perhaps
one part Of devotion to art and nine
parts pride in owning something
which only handful Of people can
afford.
Our millionaire art patrons" would
do hundred times as much for art if
they followed the example Of their
long dead predecessors. The Italian,
Dutch and Flemish patrons of paint
ing did not pay enormous sums, even
for their own day, for the works of
men long dead. They patronized their
contemporaries

Workers and the National Fascist
Confederation of Manufacturers, for
reduction of hours to maximum of
forty in the week, has been put into
effect in many industries in Italy by
subsidiary agreements. In addition,
the national confederation which rep
resent commerce and finance in Italy
have concluded blanket agreements of
their own. 1t is reported that the re-
suit of these agreements has been an
immediate rise in the number of per-
sons employed, and it has been esti-
mated that some 100000 persons will
be employed as result Of these
agreements.
Public Works Policy.-The Interna-
tional Labor Office has just published
report of the organization of public
works in the various countries. 1t
summarizes the available information
on the subject secured from the va
rious governments, and suggests the
lines to be followed by policy based
on the experience already acquired.
The report recommends that all pub
lie works should be handled or super
vised by a single central body, and
that in considering proposed prof.
ect three fundamental factors should
be kept in mind, namely, the economic
value of the work, the possibilities
Of financing it, and the social conse-
quences which will follow it. The labor
office observes that national ano
international public works policy
built up along the lines suggested il
the report would be more than merely
a means of reducing unemployment
it would go far towards proving al
effective method Of preventing it.
