brought out that the Graybar Elec-
trio Company is a subsidiary of the
Western Electric Company, which in
turn is subsidiary of the American
Telephone and Telegraph Company,
which, of course, means that the A.
T., & T, controls and fixes, the prices
of the Graybar Company and hence
holds virtual monopoly on all tele-
phone equipment manufactured in
this country" Commissioner Win
borne said. "And since the Southern
Bell Telephone and Telegraph Com
pany as a subsidiary of the A. T. &
T. Company its lawyers and engineers
were citing prices charged by sub
sidiary, claiming it was an indepen-
dent company, in order to justify it's
own charges.
cit is good thing to have these
facts brought out so the public can
see and understand how telephone
charges and rates are controlled by
the A. T. g T., which holds virtual
monopoly on telephone service in the

LIFE SURER BUT NOT LONGER

The Census Bureau having released
new life tables, showing that life expecta-
ton has advanced from under so to about
81 years, moves many writer's to remark
that "life grows longer and to speculate
upon the extra IL years added to mans
life.
The truth is that life is not longer but
that it is surer. The baby born in the
United States today has much surer
CHARGE of surviving to manhood or woman
hood, but it has no basis. to expect to live
II years longer than, the adults of the years
behind us. 4 : =
Life expectation tables are based up
on the age of death for millions of people,
including babies that die within the first
year. Obviously if two babies are born
and one dies in infancy and one at sixty
the average, or life expectancy, is 80 years
If the two babies had lived to 40 years OF
age and then died, the average, or expect
ancy, would have been forty years. How
ever, the length of the life of the individual
baby would not have been increased.
From this example, it should be seer
that life expectation" may advance con-
siderably through the better care of new
born babies without making it probable
that years are being added to average life.
This is shown by the recent statement of
DIR. Alexis Carrel that middle-aged man
today has smaller chance to live to be 80
than his grandfather did However.
baby born in 1886, has a far greater
chance of becoming an adult than the
babies that were born in, say, 1900.

REVOLT IN SPAIN

Unrest spreads over the world, par
ticularly in some countries where the peo-
pie still retain some liberty of political ac-
ton. In nations ruled by dictators, such
as Italy and Germany, no outward sign of
rebellion against constituted authority is
evident but no one can gauge the unrest
undercover. s.-..
Sharp fighting has broken out between
contending Spanish factions. The rightist,
or conservative, element is making a de-
termined military effort to overthrow the
leftist, or moderately liberal, government.
Many deaths have alrady resulted from
the revolt, with the outcome unsettled.
Standing aside the more radical group, the
Communists, wait, ready to seize power if
the other two factions falter.

CHECK GENERAL STATEMENTS

The politician delights in general,
sweeping assertions. Many are made in
the course of any campaign. The broad,
inclusive generalization makes a decided
impression and the politician realizes that
few voters will take the time to check up
and see if he is telling the truth.
Yet, the candidate who is seeking of
flee can be accurate if he wishes to- He
can secure proper figures and the proof
of what he says, if he has the energy and
the desire. He wouldn't make such gen.
eral statements except that he is willing to
fool as many voters as he can.
Voters will have to learn when to ac-
cept such wild guesses and when to recog-
nize them as unfounded in fact, if we are
going to have intlligent and honest govern
ment.

SAYS SEA MONSTERS LIVE

The debate over sea monsters and
such things breaks out again.
The latest witness to take the stand
is none other than Zane Grey, author of
popular novels and a fisherman of con-
siderable experience in most of the waters
of the world
He has been making movie on a bar
rier reef off Australia and asserts that
sharks 80 feet long, which never come to
the surface, and giant squids with ten
tacles 60 to 70 feet long, dwell in those
waters. And, to prove the truth of what
he says, he plans to go back in 1888 and
try to catch some of these monsters.
Mr.. Grey ought to know what he is
talking about but we are little skeptical
about his idea, having heard so often of
such denizens of the deep without ever
running across anything like the actual
proof. If the author can hook one of them
on his line and bring it to the top, where
the world can see it, then the long debate
may be considered closed. Anyway, we
are waiting for what 1888 will produce.

Need For Turnip Relief

spots at which some more revenue

promptly acted upon at the next ses-
sion of Congress.
is a singular, and at the same
time distressing fact, that govern
mental agencies are always more
ready to provide funds to survey tax
systems and to discover new taxes,
than they are to finance studies of
the possibilities of improving gov
ernmental organization and thus Of
reducing public expenditures. Yet no
one can successfully refute the prop
osition that taxes are too high, that
their excessive burden is a restrictive
influence on economic activity. and
that our most urgent gov ornamental
problem is the discovery of the means
of reducing taxes.
More than a century ago a gallant
naval officer told an insolent Bar
barry pirate chief that we had mil
lions for defense but not one cent for
tribute. Adapting this sentiment TO
the present situation, il appears that
we have millions for surveys designed
to bring in more taxes but not one
cent for the study of how TO get along
with less taxation
A vicious circle is thus maintained.
Excessive taxation curbs enterprise
and hampers economic growth. In
dustry and trade cannot absorb the
unemployed while pulling against the
drag of exorbitant governmental
costs The government must there
fore provide more jobs. and one
scheme is to put the unemployed 4
work helping to figure out how 10
squeeze still more tax revenue from
those who have jobs and incomes.
Why work for living when the gov
eminent is willing TO hire you to de-
wise how to make the other fellow pay
more taxes?

Mr.. Turner. The meeting was held
in the offices of Cato and Ma

at the meeting and were enthu-
siastic in voicing their approval
of the boards action, and express
ed themselves as in hearty favor
OF the interest guarantee clause
in the Turner bridge proposal.
