Liberal Viewpoint
by DR.. HARRY ELMER BARNES

PROFESSOR PITKIN has written excel
L lent book on the crisis of contemporary
capitalism. ("Capitalism Carries On" McGraW-
HID, but the title can give very false i'm
preston of the contents or even open up the
way for humorous parody.
1t has been represented by not a few COM
mentators as an apology for the capitalistic
system, but it is not such in any ordinary sense
Of the term. Indeed, it is one of the most de
vastating indictments Of conventional capitalism
! that 1 have ever read.
Professor Pitkins makes it clear that the only
tvpe of capitalism which can carry on for any
length of time is radically different variety OF
capitalism from any we have ever known. 1t
would have to be vigorously planned capital
ISM lead by able members of the middle class,
and tolerating the existence Of a large non
| profit economy along side of 1t.
Professor Pitkin not only undermines capital
ism of the Hoover-Mellon variety, but shows the
essential bankruptcy of even the New Deal
economy. Just how economic America stands
today is presented lucdly and graphically in
the two following tables:
There are now, in early 1885, about $4,000
of u.s. We fall into five broad income classes
thu:
Upper class, very rich, about. ........ 100000
Middle class OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES. l2OOO,OOO
Self-supporting workers. farmers, and
small business men, around ....... 34,5OO,000
Marginals, earning most of their live
lihood but receiving a little aid in
some form at lea.t.................1 100000
Submerged idle, mainly on relief .. IS OO00 900
Total 127, 900
If we refuse to count as income the relief
money given to the needy rich and the needy
poor, on personal incomes can not run above
S43625 900 O00-or some similar figure. 1t dis
tributes about follows;
The upper classes get $4,000
The middle classes get $1,000
each, or OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES. 1z'OoOoOO'oOu
The self-supportng workers farm
ers etc get $500 each or....... 17,25o00O0OO
The marqinaIs get 5000 each or 100000 900

little while, then gently released

His answer was dry sob.
They're not going to hurt you," he
said soothingly. Il won't let them" ]"
She reached up her arms and put
them around his neck to cling to him
desperately. But she could not speak.
Cart kissed the tears from her cheeks.
Gradually her sobs subsidized.

know she would 60 this far. A COL
ored man said he saw a red-headed
girl leaving the theater, and she saw
her chance to get you in trouble. You
weren't there, were you?"
Sugar was getting her bearings.
She shook her head negatively, dab
bing at her eyes. Cart smiled with
relief.
IT knew you weren't, sweetheart.
That's all I wanted to know"
He had called her sweetheart.
Sugars smile trembled through her
tears.
"I'm-so glad you came"
Cart buried his lips in her wild, red
curls.
I'm glad, too," He held her to his
hammering heart. And I'm glad
Jane Lee did this to you"
Sugar pulled away, and her eyes
were wide with questioning.
Suddenly Cart laughed, and stood
up to hold her in his arms, like a child,
Tits wonderful!" he exulted.
Something marvellous. unbelievable,
has happened to me-"
He kissed her and smiled into her
puzzled eyes.
I'm in love. Do you understand,
darling? I'm in love!"
Sugar closed her eyes before the
light shining in the blue ones that
looked as though they were seeing
her for the first time.
And suddenly the old jail was para
disc, and there was nothing but SUM-
shine and happiness in the world.
After a long time Mike Mckinley
wa astonished to see his favorite foot
ball captain standing in the door
again. Mixes mouth opened with as
tonishment.
For the cadets face was wreathed
in a beatific smile and he blew the as

more there?"
Jake looked disappointed.
Just little notes maxim dates and
tellin' him how she misses him."
I'm goin' up to her room and see
what I can find in her things" Flint
walked to the door. Maybe he wrote
letters. too"
The sheriff spent only few minutes
in Sugars room at Mrs. Sidels. But
when he left he had letter which he
thought cinched the case against
Johnny De Vile and Sugar Friddle. He
was convinced that the colored man
was telling the truth when he said
red-headed girl had left by the side
door with suit case.
The note was in Johnny's hurried
Scrawl:
Dearest Little Sweetheart: Guess I
was pretty mean to you yesterday aft
ernoon. But was jealous of that guy
from New York and lost my head. 1t
drives me wild to think that some
rich guy with a lot of money might
come along and take you from me. But
you just wait I'll have more money
than all of them some day. II you have
patience and give me chance. May
be I'll have to rob bank !! You rob
one, too-and we'll run away and live
happy ever after Believe me, honey
I'm beginning to see you can't get
very far without cash. But guess
mustn't be too impatient. See you
Thursday. Until then, I'll be thinking
about you every minute.
Your own, JOHNNY"
Carter was standing in front of the
Baker Hotel when he learned that a
red-headed suspect had been arrested
at the boarding house and taken to the
Jail.
1t was only few seconds later that
he burst into the sheriff's office. Mike
Mckinley, the night deputy, was on
duty, and he jumped up in alarm at
the sight of his favorite foot ball hero
charging his lair like mad bull.
What can do for you, Mr.. lie Mas
ters?" He stepped back into a corner
and tried not to look nervous.
Cart said acidly, who is the girl
Flint picked up and brought in here
a while ago? The red-headed girl?"
"She-shes a kid by the name of
Friddle," Mike answered timidly. She
used to be up at the orphanage."
Jim Carriers face turned the color
| of beet.
Who ordered her brought in here?"
he demanded hoarsely.
| Mckinley was afraid not to tell the
truth.
Your sister-in-law. I guess. Any
/ way. she was here and right after
that Flint left and brought the girl in. -
/ Cart looked as though he were
about to have apoplexy.
Take me to her" He took a step
toward the officer, savagely. IF you
don't I'll break your neck! I don't
! care what your orders are"
Mckinley hesitated only for a Sec
! ond.

ROBERTS ASSA|[S
GAS RATES AGAIN
Cites Figures for Cincinnati
as Much Lower Than
Capitals.

Gas and electric rates in Cincinnati
are being cited by Peoples Counsel
william A. Roberts as examples OF
what might be accomplished here II
vigorous efforts were made by the
public.
Lower gas and electric rates in the
Ohio city were listed by Roberts yes
terday in a letter sent to w. G.
Magathan of the Citizens Association
of Takoma. D. G.
"You will judge from this that the
residents of the District have been
lulled into a sense of well being by
some rather effective propaganda, and
that it will require ernest and vigorous
efforts to obtain the full concessions
from our operating utilities to which
we are entitled in view of the very
modest amount of taxes which they
pay in support of the local govern
ment."
Cincinnati Rates Cited.
Roberts reported the Cincinnati gas
rate is IS cents for the first 1000 cubic
feet, 10 cents for the next 1000 feet,
65 cents for the next 1000, 60 cents
for the next 1000, SIS cents for the
next 1000. so cents for the next 1000
and As cents for all over 10000 feet
consumed by domestic users.
Rates charged by the Washington
and Georgetown Gas Light Companies
are to be considered by the Public
Utilities Commission at public hear
ing beginning May Is. The call for
this investigation was made just prior
to the announcement that the COM
mission had found the value of the
companies for rate making purposes
to be S16,993,000.
Rates Begin at 91.5 Cents.
The present gas rates for domestic
consumers are 91.5 cents for the first
1000 feet, 83 cents for the next 1000
and II cents for all in excess of that
amount. These are the net charges.
including allowance for the present
8.5 per cent discount.
Officials say comparison of electric
rates is more difficult, but that on
the basis of a SiX-room house, where
q 9 kilowatt hour consumption prevails
for a month the consumers bill here
would be 1913, as against S2,85 in the
Ohio city. This dates back to last
Summer Since then there has been
a modest reduction in the District
power rates.

and interneS in six public hos

as ltra.Communistic," declaring
that it was a "leftist blow against
the republican form of govern
Inent," and urging all those un-
sympathetic toward the strike to
protect their rights by calling on
the government for protection.

the governments reemphasis that
all strikers would be dismissed and
replaced by loyal government
workers.
An unconfirmed report said that
representatives of all Cuban labor
unions held a meeting secretly on
the outskirts of the Capital to urge
. general nationwide strike.
