Little Enterprise Seen Holding Key
In Fl ght to Halt Spread OF Socialism

unions and the influence OF wage
earners as consumers have established
the political power Of the workers. The
primary system and the universal bal
lot, without property or educational
qualification, have given the control
of government to the masses. The
forces of property. Of land and CAPT.
tai and vested interests. Of the small
proprietor and the small home owner,
are still powerful, but the balance OF
power is now in the hands of the
masses of wage earners. We have seen
this force in violent action in Russia,
United States in the past 10 years.
Here lies the danger Of injury to
progress. This power has been OBJ
tanned. naturally enough, in advance
of economic knowledge. Visionary
theorists and self-seeking politicians
may guide and direct it into perilous
paths. Nobody wants to throw back
this tide of democracy. Nobody can.
But it needs to learn self control and
to gain understanding. 1t has neither
at present.
Would Tear Down System.
The question of Socialism Is an IL
lustration 1t is in essence a plan to
tear down the system built through
thousands of years and substitute for
it another that at present has no Wis
ible concrete plan. Let's consider the
present system and its defects and
then look at this proposed substitute.

to economic planning and at the
same time declares that economists
change economic principles every or
10 years. It is the principle that large
scale enterprise Is more economical
somewhat in proportion to the degree
in which machinery is used in the
enterprise. Where equipment is q
high cost In the industry, the ten
dency to concentration is great, as

is small, as in the production of
millinary or coats and suits, in the
service trades" or in the garage
business.
This principle explains many things.
It Is the reason why the independent

chain stores and why the fine shoe
industry remains highly competitive.
It has q special application to that

sentiment Is immaterial. Wherever
competition still prevails 1t should be
encouraged The little fellow and the
little enterprise have been the found

They remain today the chief agencies
for the continuance Of the present

vitality and success. Where compe-

nonresident, regulation should be the
first recourse. Government owner

1t has been emphasized that there is
an inherent tendency toward monop-
oily. But competition still operates
over a tremendous area. There is q

ciple that governs the rapidity Of in

From the opening scene to the

with intense dramatic interest, ex-
citing situations and breakth-taking
suspense. In the role Of Rankin,

said to provide q powerful charac-

Committed to the penitentiary for

Three Of filmland's most brilliant
stars add to their laurels in the
spectacular production, China
Seas" which shows Friday and Sat
urday at the Capitol, Brownsville.
The stars are Clark Gable. Jean
Harlow and wallace Beery, to-
gether again for the first time IN
almost five years.
And 1t Is q stirring story OF adj
venture and romance, a story that
teens with lusty action ana
abounds with strange emotional
qualities that brings them together.
The locale Is, perhaps. the strang-
est and most fascinating yet seen
on the screen-the wild southeast
coast OF China, last stronghold OF
twentieth century pirates. 1t IS q
region OF bowling tropical hurri-
canes, and Of strange perils. All OF
these have their part in the film,
the physical dangers providing q
fi.t!ng background Of the powerful
human drama Of fierce loves. bitter
hates and sinister intrigue.
All the action takes place aboard
the wheezy old liner Kin Lung as

white passengers In the cabins ana
the coolies crowded into the fore

Young skipper. Miss Harlow Is an
exotic OF the Oriental ports who -

Gable. Berry Is apparently a bluff
trader IN pigs. but his obvious oc-
cupation masks his more sinister
activities as the brains OF the
pirates.

SOLONS TOLD
SPENDING MUST
BE CUT DOWN
Steps To Be t a k e N
Next Year Toward
Balancing B budget
Of Nation

WASHINGTON. Aug. 80. RD-
Corgressmen Friday were told the
government must slacken its SPEND
ing next year and, II possible, bal
ance the budget.
The statement was by Chairman
Buchanan Of the house appropria-
lions committee. This group orig
mates legislation for both emergen-
cy and regular government expend-
itures.
In the Congressional Record
Buchanan presented revised figures
IN appropriations for the session
tust closed. They totaled $l0.073,-
37O.543 including $780, 00.0 900 for the
reconstruction corporation
The Texan defended the large TO-
tai by explaining "the effects OF the
depression and its consequent un-
employment and paralyzing econom-
fc conditions are still upon us" He
added that more than half OF the
money was for emergency and re-
lief purposes.
The recent appropriations total
by Taber R-N. " Of more than
eleven and a half billion dollars"
was criticized by Buchanan as q
"figure which exceeds the actual to-
tai by more than three and a half
billion dollars"
Progress is being made toward
recovery in substantial FORM" Buch-
anan said. Large appropriations
and expenditures have been neces-
sary for emergency purposes. AT
the coming session the appropria-
lions must be materially reduced
and II possible the budget balanced"
He also refuted Taber's predic-
ton that the public debt would
reach s40.0 100000 at the end Of
the 1885 fiscal year.
Instead he estimated "a billion
dollars. II Is my hope that It viii
be less than that"
Buchanan said improved business
and government revenues may cut
down relief costs so all Of the funds
appropriated this year may not be
needed

mele was under the influence of liquor at the time of the mishap. Pagan had just finished testifying a minute before, declaring that in his opinion JameIe was "in full possession of his faculties".
 7" Wants Damages
 He's trying to collect damages: he cares more about that" declared the motor patrolman when asked about Fagan's testimony. Attorney George Crocicchia, counsel for Ja. mele, Jumped to his feet to protest that the policeman had no right to make such a remark.
 Due to the absence of Lieutenant John Dunphy, who booked Jamele at headquarters, Judge Edward Mascolo continued the case till to. morrow morning. With the courts permission, Attorney Crocicchia presented defense witnesses who testified that Jamele was complete ly sober when the accident took place. The remainder of the de- fense will be presented after Lieu tenant Dunphy's testimony tomor- row.
 Pagan, owner of the car which was hit, was the first state wit ness. He stated that his car was parked at the curb when Jamele's machine struck 1t a glancing blow In the rear. After the accident, he said, Jamele was, in his opinion. not under the influence. He de. clared that he had not preferred the charge against Jamele.
 Odor of Liquor
 Motor Patrolman McElligott tes- tified that he could smell liquor from Jamele's breath, that the ac- cused Jumped out of the police car twice, and that, in his opinion, he was under the influence.
 Testimony that Jamele was com pletely sober was advanced by Holman c3 317 North Main street and Charles Massera of 98 Charles street, who were riding with Jamele at the time of the mishap.
 When the state asked continu. ance of day in order to have Dunphy testified, Judge Mascolo called Pagan back to the witness stand to ask him point blank If his testimony had been in- fluenced in any way. Pagan de- nied that a. settlement of damages had been offered by Jamele, but that the offer had not moved his testimony.
 Pagan added that at police head quarters Jamele had volunteered to walk line to test his sobriety. When he did so. Pagan said, he followed the line perfectly.
