BROADER PRICE
COMPETITION IN
U. S. PROPOSED
Positive LaiSsez Faire
Program Submitted
by New Dealer.
BY HERBERT LITTLE
Times Specia! Writer

WASHINGTON, Dec. 10.-BuSl-
ness men appealing for free COM
petition and against "regimenta-
ton" should be given what they
ask, in the opinion of certain New
Deal advisers.
These experts propose wide ex.
tension of competitive prices int
fields where they have not existed
for many years Such action, they
point out, would be the biggest
break for consumers in many years
Further, it would add to the ma
tional income by increasing the con-
sumption of goods.
On the other hand, it might put
a lot of uneconomic businesses out
of business - small establishments
with high operating costs, tariff
protected and patent-protected
monopolies.
Positive Program Proposed
The plan, advocated in general
principles by the Presidents advis-
er on consumer problems, DR.. Wal
ton Hale Hamilton of Yale, has been
set down in specific proposals to the
American Academy of Political and
Social Science by Leon Henderson
former chief of the NRA research
and planning division.
AS "A Positive Program for Lais-
SEE Fare" Mr.. Henderson pro-
posed:
/. Tariff reform.
2. Patent law revision.
3. Intelligent and forceful action
against monopolies and wise use OF
exemption from antitrust acts.
4. Taxation.
5. Transportation rate adjust
ments.
6. Better receivership and bank
ruptcy legislation.
Z. Investment information.
8. Yardstick competition-particu-
larly in housing.
9. Encouragement of co-opera-
tives.
10. Credit assistance for rationale
cation of backward industries.
Cites Administered Prices
AS some of the reasons for pres
ent prices he cited the so-called lad
minlstered prices" of some of the
closely controlled industries; scar
city, as in tin; backward produc-
ton or distribution technique, as in
textiles; wasteful competition, as in
natural resources; eXtravagant CAPT.
tai structures, and inf1exible wage
or transportation rate structures.
He pointed out that depression
and NRA experience showed that
the industries with rigid prices laid
off more men and reduced produc-
ton more during the depression
than industries whone prices huc-
tuated in open markets.
Independent Body Advocated
Unemployment during the recov-
cry period has been slower among
the rigid-price industries.
Concentration of production was
due to many causes" he noted, "in-
Guiding tariff production. patent
pools, and monopoly, but in many
cases was due mostly to the ability
of control groups, often not acting
in concert, to decide to pillow under
production rather than reduce
prices"
ITO represent the consumer ade-
quately," he concluded, ito present
fairly and widely the deficiencies of
the competitive system, to suggest
procedures for remedies at strategic
points, calls for an independent
department of the consumer, with
specific delegation of duties"

innkeeper had, it happened, funeral
coming off that afternoon-he is also
an undertaker-and so, what with one
thing and another, this young fellow
the agent, got one of those nickel-in-
the-slot machines firmly screwed on
the hotels one bathroom door There
it remains to this day, inhospitably
and to this day the proprietor resents
it. If he is at the desk when you cross
from the bathroom to the dining room
he will sometimes call you over and
alphabetically give you back your nickel
out of the cash drawer. you're a
guest!"
A stranger who likes to stop and
talk may or may not be allowed to
pay for his tobacco and pop in the
stores of Saint Mary's county. They
are pleasant stores. You will see in
them commercial display cards much
the same as you see in the groceries
and drygoods stores of New York, New
Orleans or Weeping Willow, Idaho;
but only if the reverse side of such
display matter is smooth and of suit
able proportions for checkerboard or
card table. Throughout this Arcadian
region prohibition and repeal are alike
as legends, remote and incredible. Else
where are other worlds, and people are
said to find them exciting-but here
is peace. So at least 1t may seem to

June, when it's farms and water CLEAN
most serenely and when it's honey
suckle hedges for mile upon mile along
all the roads are in fullest bloom.
I was travelling by easy stages in
the company of friend, whose only
business, like mine, was to see the
country. Our way lay principally down
the western or Potomac shore, shore
broken and penetrated by five wide
reaches of tidewater-by the Wicomico,
the Saint Clements, the Breton and
the Saint Mary's rivers-deep waters
wide and calm, navigable, all of them,
with innumerable rounded bays and
coves, stored with an unlimited album
dance of sea food: oysters soft shelled
crabs, fish of all sorts, golden backed
terrapin
We stopped to talk here and there,
in stores, on wharves, by the roadside,
with sprawling, pleasant-voiced men,
some of whom proved to be oystermen
and others farmers. On the banks of
the Wicomico we ate with gentleman
who had no wife, nor wanted any;
neither had he concluded after some |
sixty years of pleasant indecision,
whether to farm, follow the watah, or
turn breWah, full time" He fed us fat |
oysters cleaning coolly on the shell
and spoke lyrically of the advantages
of living where, eff man gets tined
fahming, he can just stroll down and
dip net in the rivah." And on the
next bay of the river, st. Clements
bay, we caught sight Of, hurrying,
tense, ambitious farmers trottah"-

In Old St. Mary's

THE county of Saint Mary's is tn,
southernmost of Maryland's west
ern shore and the oldest county il
the state. 1t lies between the Potoma,
and the Patuxent, which converge Al
its southern end into Chesapeake Bay
1t Is country of soft, warm shore.
and shining bays.
There is but one entrance by Sea
into this Country''-so in his journal
under date of 1906, wrote Capt. Johr
Smith of Virginia-"and that is at the
mouth of a very goodly bay, 10 or q
myles broad. Within is a country thai
may have prerogative over the most
pleasant places knoWne, for large anc
pleasant navigable rivers
Heaven and Earth never agreed
better to frame place for mans habi-
tation. The Potawomeke river is
or myles in breadth. 1t is navigable
40 myles and fed with many sweet
rivers and springs which fall from bor-
dering hills. :. The PaWtuxent is of
Jesse proportion; but the channel is
IL fathome deepe in some places. Here
are infinite schools of divers kinde of
fish more than elsewhere. :"
Thus Captain Smith. He visited this
country some thirty years before Leo
nard Calvert and his cavaliers landed
on it's shore to establish st. Mary's
City, Marylands first town and for
many years it's capital.
All of which is now three centuries
IN the past. Saint Marys is today
what in this great and Fastening ma
ton Of ours we would call dead town.
And Leonardtown, the county seat
Leonardtown is a dead town, too-dead
unless to be living means to have
maintained vital identity with things
past. No railroad has ever penetrated
these old towns and farms. Commune
cation with the outer world is still by
highway, or by graceful and leisurely
steamboat which leaves Washington
toward mid-afternoon, touches without
too much of schedule at countless
plantation and village wharves, now on
the Maryland, now on the Virginia
shore, and places the wheat, meat,
tobacco, and the native residents of
these tidewater counties comfortably
and with dignity on the wharves of
Baltimore somewhere during the course
of the day following.
1T don't do to get too blame pro-
gressive,' as the keeper of the biggest
and most echo-haunted hotel in all
southern Maryland will tell you He
stands blinking behind a high oak
desk, a large, slumbrous man, one of
the leading authorities as to local mar
riage dates and as to the intricacies of
local blood-lines. He has grievance.
Some five years ago, it seems, this
modern idea Of nickel-in-the- slot locks

The following morning we called on
him. He lives right at the edge of
Leonarduown. He owns and, with his
son, farms the $50 gently arching acres
surrounding Tudor Hall, one of the
finest old places in the county The
| dwelling stands IN 4 grove of oaks on
hill. Its lawn passes into pasture
curving downward, dumped here and
there with cottonwood and holly trees,

:, AZ, .si' ut into the quiet waters of
brston bay.
The cultivated part OF the carm lies
back from the bay, on higher ground.
The Colonel stands between the lotus
eating school of tidewater farming and
the new. He works tractors and oxen
In the same fields, side by side. Each
foah its purpose. Tractors are fine but
you can't work them seven yeahs, like
you can oxen, an sell them for noah
than they were wuth at first"
Tobacco and cattle, the common
standbys of the region, are his main
reliance; but he has been among the
leaders in running "sheep under to-
bacco." That is to say, he hangs his
tobacco high in the caves of his dry
ing sheds and uses these buildings also
as sheep sheds. He and his son have
been especially active in the growing
local output of high quality winter
lambs.
Out at his sheep barns, when we
called, he separated off from the flock
himself, so that we might see them
closeup, his pure-bred Hampshire
rams.

stoah window nowadays an you'll see
that the tWo-dollah shoes have dust
all ovah them Everybody wants the
ten-dollah kind Quality! That's all
that pays. Keep youah cheap stuff at
homer
"Profit?" he said. "That'n come later.
A man can't make fahm and make
money too. I've raised nine boys and
managed to keep one of them with me.
We've got this place croppin' right
good again now; and I'm satisfied that
If he can get the labor he needs he'll
do well with it.
This will be my seventy-fourth
summer. I'm Twin by the day now.
But, as we say heah in st. Mary's,
it doesn't matter so much how long
you live: You won't notice much diff
ference. anyway, between this country
and heaven!"

To keep the green color in green
vegetables, cook the vegetables in an
uncovered kettle until they are lust
tender. Cooking releases a volatile acid
which changes the color unless It is
allowed to escape in the steam.

Despite assurances by some asserted moulders
of public opinion that the recent supreme court
decision invalidating the MIRA has tolied the lznel
OF the New Deal and despite the opinion of others
that another era of ruinous trade practices, with
resultant industrial chaos is imminent we expect
that many OF the good features of the industrial
dustries.
Many of the results expected of the MIRA have
already been realized, and with economic security
on the horizon, the passing of the NRA will have
little general effect.

promotion OF other fibers, both natural and syn
thetc, as we'll as from the general depression Such
fact means great deal to every family living in
a wool-growing district as we'll as to those who
make their living through wool
An intensive drive is now underway to educate
the public concerning the advantages of wool and
to stimulate manufacturers and retailers to create
new styles and greater values, and there is every
reason to believe that it's purpose will be accomp-
lished.
Wool should not and must not lose ground in
competition with other fbers. Wool has for thou
sands OF years possessed qualities not found in any
other hber; 1t can and should enjoy constantly
growing acceptance by American consumers Wool
Is sort, beautiful and durable 1t has great elias

excellent protection against both heat and cold
During the past few years tremendous strides

Originally set aside as day on which to deco
rate the graves of Union soldiers who had fallen
IN the Civil War, Memorial Day is now generally
regarded as day on which we visit the cemeteries
to place fresh flowers on the graves of all loved
ones, and the significance Of the day is deepening
with the years.
No movement could be more worthy of COM
munlty attention than that Of the care and i'm
provement OF the cemetery While one day year
is set aside for the cleanup of the local cemetery
and some care expended during the summer
months in keeping the trees watered, there is a
general feeling that it's appearance could be i'm

One suggestion which has been made to the
Spokesman, and which we believe is worthy of
everyone's consideration, is the installation of

proposition and to get together in carrying it out
