THREE HOUSES CARRIED AWAY
 IN DIRT SLIDE
Occupants Have Narrow Escapes n 2 Structures
 Completely Wrecked

Due possibly to the damming of a natural drainage outlet followed by the sudden release of a large volume of flood water, or to soil conditions resulting from the unusually heavy rainfall of the past few days, an earth slide occurred at about 3:30 o'clock last Wednesday afternoon on the upper portion of Third Avenue above Harris Street, completely wrecking two houses, portions of which were carried down the hillside, damaging another residence so bad ly that salvage will amount to frac- ton of it's former value, and moving three additional homes from their foundations.
 There were no eye-witnesses to the start of the slide, from the testi- mony of occupants of the wrecked houses. The two-story house farthest up the hill on the east side of Third Avenue, owned by Nick Kobak, sud- denly slipped from it's foundation and the rear portion, consisting of a kitchen and bedroom, broke away from the remainder of the building and crashed in heap of wreckage against the home of Matt Hahn be- low it.
 Another House Slips
 The Hahn house in turn slipped down the steep grade and likewise broke into two portions. The rear portion, containing the kite h n, tumbled down the hill, most of the wreckage lodging against the resi- dence of Harry Bracken. A small part of the broken material from the house swept on past the Bracken residence and struck the corner of the house occupied by Pat Mullin, one of three closely grouped houses

past.
Americans who wish to under
stand the ~Italy-Abyssinian imbro-
glio-which is Of International i'm
por. ance inasmuch as it is compli-
eating the already chaotic Euro
pean situation-would do well to
think of it in the light Of the ia
pan-China issue.
Like China, Abyssinia is an in
dependent power-and like China,
it is a hundred years behind the
times. Italy, like Japan, is an up
to-date nation which needs new
territory China possesses a
wealth of mineral resources,
which Japan wants-and Abyi-
ssinia possesses a wealth of gold
which Italy wants.
If Italy and Abyssinia fight, it
seems inevitable that the latter

tectorate-and reap the rich re-

Reports issued by the fire departments of two
large cities prove that incendiary fires can be re-
duced if the corret methods are employed.
From Kansas City, Mo, comes the statement
that in 1882 there were 81 arson fires there causing
losses of $712,309; in 1888 there were 81 such fires,
accoun. ing for losses Of $16O,656, while in 1884 the
number of arson fires decreased to Sc and the re-
sulting losses to $50y590-a remarkable reduction in
deed.
The report from Atlanta, Ca, shows an equally
striking reduction. In 1893, incendiary fires ac-
counted for losses Of $72,314, while in 1884 the
number Of such fires decreased to 80 and the losses
to 81, 242.
By correct methods is meant the effective CO.
operation of all interested authorities. The Kan
sas City report mentioned the National Board of
Fire Underwriters among other organizations that
had helped make the record possible. This organi-
ztalon has long assumed a position of leadership in
the fight on incendiarism. 1t has established arson
squads in most of the large cities, employ many
skilled investigators and assists police and fire de-
p%artmentS as well as fire marshals in combating
arson. 1t has aided many cities to form their own
arson squads and is ready to cooperate at all times
with district attorneys and all proper authorities.
If the crime of arson is to be fought effectively
it is highly important for district attorneys to vigor.
ously force prosecution of the criminals involved.
An important part Of the effort to reduce the
number of arson fires has been the enactment Of
model arson laws in the majority of states. These
laws have been of great assistance in bringing fire
criminals to justice, as previous laws sometimes OBJ
structed rather than aided in the prosecution of
arson cases.
The battle against this ''crime of crimes merits
the support and cooperation Of all citizens. Every
one can help by reporting any suspicious incidents
IN connection with fires that come to their atten.
ton, and by urging their district attorneys to put
forth aggressive efforts to obtain conviction.

SOCIALISM, VS.. RUGGED nDrv1puA11sm

FROM a practical standpoint, Paul Smith, finan
clal editor of the San Francisco Chronicle. sums ur
the pohtica1 aspects OF the crusade against the
public utility industry, in a mastery manner. Hi
comment was inspired by the demand for $500 O(
OF tax funds to investigate the American Telephone
and Telegraph Company. In part, he said:
The writer does not care whether any particular
utility is right or wrong That some holding com
panles may be bad and some good he does moi
doubt That some rate structures may be fair
and some unfair, he readily admits. That some
utility arrangements may be smart and some
dumb some honest and some dishonest he be
lieves not onlp possible but among the facts of life
Those things are beside the point.
The fact remains that a definite, destructive
campaign has been launched against the public utili
ty industry. Some of the campaign is open ano
above board, some subtle and insidious, like certain
phases of certain PWA grants to communities an6
states. The attack has been mapped out. pusbed
promoted, e~nergized and pressed in New Deal head
quarters, Washington, D.. C. There is no use dode
ing the issue.
IF 100000 utility investors and all utilit,
arrangements want to wave the white flag and sur
render their economic position, that is their bust
ness.
But even if peace at any price is their desire
they are not going to get if from the politicians to
day. This public utility thing is stock in trade tc
a large share Of present day politicians. Peace
would liquidate their stocks in trade.
As soon as one sector quiets down, they vii
attack another. Their scouting force will find
somehow, enough Indians in the brush to Justify
each new attack in the public eye. 1t is war and
like other forms of warfare, will bring stupidity
uneconomic costs.
There will be the cost of unnecessary ~construc.
tlon; public ompetition with private enterprise
gradual Specialization; growing taxes to fill the gaps
Oh inefflclent political operation and, worst of all
perhaps, the cost of depreciation in the value Of
securities held by hundreds of thousands of small
investors.
And the scene will not change while millions OF
voters sweetly accept political Indictment of the
public utilities"
MI. Smith speaks frankly but the situation
Justifies It. The present campaign is unfair, unnec.
essary and un-American. The seeds Of destruction
OF private enterprise that are being sown. will
sprout IN other places to the infinite damage Of
other industries, unless the political utility baiters
are stopped by an informed public revolt against
demagoguery that is promoting socialism instead
of rugged individualism.

THE OPPORTUNITIES EXIST.

The Saturday Evening Post had a fine editorial
commenting on the time worn argument of p%olitici-
ans that there is no more free land' to be had
from the government; hence, vast sums of money
must be appropriated to provide "social services
for the people.
The Post pointed out that the "free land" story
is misleading-that a man had to have courage,
perseverance and grea initiative to cross the deserts,
mountains and forests for thousands of miles to
gain the "free land" He generally paid a ire
mendous price in suffering, pr%ivation, endless labor
and often death in order to acquire the free land. =
"Social service" schemes at public expense, do
not develop the type Of citizens who crossed the
plains and took up land to build a new empire in
the West.
Greater opportunities are here today, but the in
dividual is not encouraged to find them by pater-

COPPER ON THE MEND

The world copper situation seems on the mend;
Last year copper production totaled l,24O,ooo
tons-a substantial advance over 1893. World con
sumption totaled 100000 tons, likewise a gain
over the preceding year. :,
Still more encouraging is the fact that world
conner stocks are declining. In 1888, they totaled
57O.OOO,OOO tons, and had dropped to 4 hundred mil
lion at the end Of 1884. /.
Copper stability is coming slowly in the United
States, which has excessively large stocks on hand,
and which is consuming less copper, in relation to
total world consumption, than is considered normal.
However. the situation is clearing somewhat and
that, coupled with Frightening world outlook,
speaks well for the future of the red metal.

TWO KINDS OF COOPERATION

The farmer has learned that there are two kinds
of cooperative effort.
One kind obtains cooperation through govern
mental fiat-through a process of RECOMMENDATION,
whereby the farmers actions are die. atel by a bu-
reau in Washington. ......-- --- ----------
1890 The other kind is obtained through the work
of the farmer himself-when he and his fellows
join and support a farmer controlled cooperative
organization.
The first kind of cooperation may be necessary
in a temporary national emergency but if it is con-
tinued indefinitely the American farmer will under
60 drastic and unhappy change. Once a free man,
ne will become a serf. Once an independent entity,
thinking and working TO advance his own independ.
ence could avail him little.
The second kind of cooperation does not destroy
independence builds it. 1t makes for individuacl-
ism and development of character. Farmers who
band together in cooperative organizations 10 fight
their battles and thrash out the issues affecting
them, are hardly likely to become, under the thumb
of bureaucracy.
Which kline of cooperation does the average
American farmer want?
