BY JOSEPHINE DUKE MATLEY
If could have my way.
I'd make you think of me from day
to day
where'er you go, in crowd or soil
tude,
! Whatever light or sadness fits your
mood.
You'd think of me in every word
you'd say
If could have my way.
And praises you would sing
About me, and your voice would
somehow ring
With alteration that is lovers right,
And dreams of me would intercept
each night.
But, oh, my dear. this fear can't
allay.
I shall not have my way.

the foundation of sovereignty
Without it the sovereign becomes
a vaSsal and puppet of the over
lords of finance. No self-reSpect-
ing sovereign would surrender
this power to create money to
another.
But that is exactly what Con-
greSs did on June 3, 1864. 1t sur
rendered its highest function to
privately organized corporations.
For this surrender the people of
this country have paid in untold
misery and despair, because every
so-called depression is the result
Of this surrender of the COnsti-
tutional power Of Congress in the
creation of money.
A privately owned and con-
trolled system for creating money
necessarily is operated for the
benefit of the owners of this privi-
lege. The public interest is re-
mote and is only served as it is
necessary to obtain the private
gain of the privilege holders. I'm
der this system the sovereignty
of the people is a mere myth. They
are absolutely in the clutches Of
financial overlords, who rule and
dictate through this power to Gre
ate money, the very life of every
citizen.
The present as we'll as past de-
pressions are directly due to the
power exercised by this group
which fixes the relative value of
goods and services created by our
citizens to the value of money
created by this group Mr.. Law
renee, let the 1886 slogan be re
store the sovereignty of the peo-
Pile"

POINTS TO DEFECTS
IN LAND POLICY

BY E. B. Swinney
The industrial and social I'M
rest that has grown with increas-
ing intensity since all the public
domain of any value became pri-
yately appropriated, thus closing the
door of opportunity to dissatisfied
labor and capital, would seem to in
dictate a serious defect in our land
policy.
If all the appropriated land were
in full productive use that would be
one thing, but as a matter of fact,
there are millions of unused acres
Of valuable farming, timber and
mining land, to say nothing of the
thousands and thousands of vacant
city lots which have an enormous
potential earning power.
1t was the tremendous demand
during the war for the bottled up
land that caused values to become
so inflated that labor and capital
could not longer function, and in
the crash that followed billions were
lost to real estate and mortgage
investors.
Years ago Henry George con-
demned the practice of gambling in
the resources of nature, and prophe-
sled with unerring accuracy just
what would happen if it continued.
He urged the policy of making it
as costly to hold valuable land idle
as putting it to its best use, by
collecting for public service ex-
penses the full annual rent of land
in lieu of all taxation.
We now confscate private prop
erty for that purpose, whereas IN
der his scientific plan we would
collect a fund that is ample in
amount and is essentially public
property, arising as it does from the
presence and industry of all the
people. ANY one interested in a
scientific economic order should not
fail to become acquainted with
Georges plan.

PUBLIC HOLDS THE BAG

THE recent fight over the utilities holding
company bill gave ordinary Americans a
glimpse of the marvels that can be wrought
through the Judicious investment of few dol
lars in the right kind of holding company.
Now the announced auctioning by the House
of Morgan of the Van Sweringens railroad
securities is reminder that the holding COM
pany is not a phenomenon peculiar to the
utility field
The securities which Morgan is putting on
the block carry with them control of nine great
railroads whose shares have an aggregate book
value of some S3OOOOOO,OOO. This control lies
chiefly in some 2,112042 shares of Allegheny
Corp. which today have value Of slightly
better than s315O,OOO.
The inner beauty of the holding company
thus becomes clear. For a little more than
100000. one can buy control of railroads

Not only does Wright travel the
streets of Washington, shoeing horses

Just turned the half-century mark,
though he looks like man in his early
40s, Mr.. Wright can see no future
for the trade of blacksmithing. He
expects to be the last blacksmith in
the business, because he is younger

Frederic A. Delano, chairman of the

Commission; Clarence Phelps Dodge,
president of the Washington Commit
tee on Housing; John Ihlder, director
Of the Alley Authority, and others.
Expresses Interest.
Before leaving, Mrs. Roosevelt ex-
pressed interest in the proceedings.
IT have always felt that housing
lay at the root of many of the ills
which those of us who are interested
in seeing America a better place to
edy," she said.
Therefore. anything which has to
do with housing here or in any of
the States is of very great interest
to me and I am happy to be here

Dwelling Authority on the work it is
doing and to wish it will be able to
continue and finish this work"
Compliments Mrs. Hopkins.
Mrs. Roosevelt also paid tribute to
the late Mrs. Archibald Hopkins for
her activities in connection with alley
dwelling clearance.

d. C.. Policemen Must Become
Dead Shots, Maj. Bro,on Says

From now on every Washington po-
liceman has got to be a dead shot.
Maj. Ernest w. Brown, superin-
tendent of the metropolitan police
force, said so today in announcing
plans for the most intensive course in
target practice ever undertaken by the
department.
Early in November Maj. Brown an
nounced, every member of the force
desk clerks as well as patrolmen-
will be required to shoot straight. The
men are going to be ordered on the
departments range and made to blast
away until they can qualify as marks
men.
MAJ. Brown has been planning the
target course for long time, but has
been unable to put it into effect be-
cause of the lack of funds to purchase
ammunition. Now, however, he said
ammunition money is available and his
men must learn to shoot effectively.
It's been some years, Maj. Brown
said, since policemen did any serious
shooting on the pistol range and he
fears some of them may have little
trouble hitting the bulls-eye. ANY,
how, he wants to find out how many

and how many will have to spend some
spare time on the range.
The police superintendent wants his
men to be crack shots for two rea-
sons. Primarily, he said. any man
who Is authorized to carry a gun
should know how to use it expertly.
But important, too, he explained, is
the psychological effect of a sharp
shooting police force on the criminal
element.
In Los Angeles, Maj. Brown pointed
out, every police officer is required to
qualify as a marksman, and the
authorities there credit reduction in
crime to that fact.
The only serious target practice
undergone in the Washington de-
partment comes when man is ap-
pointed to the force. Then he is
taken on the pistol range as a part
Of the training course and taught
to shoot. But after that the officer
does very little shooting unless 1t Is
his hobby.
Through competitive matches be-
tween precincts, Maj. Brown hopes
to stimulate sufficient interest in the
target practice course to develop a
team of crack shots to participate In
various pistol contests throughout the
country.
