answers to those questions.
Contrary to the assumptions of the
lump-of-labor advocates, the amount
of labor that can be employed and
the amount of work TO be done are
not fixed. Nor is it true that, if there
is an increase in the supply of labor
and the number of machines intro
duced, unemployment will increase
and wages decline. The statistical
evidence over a period of years re-
flutes these assumptions. There can
be. and there have been. temporary
Embellishments, but the lcng-run
trend has been an upward movement
in the average standard of living. in
average wages. and in employment
with the increase in the use of ma
chimes and with the increase in popu-
lation.
The trouble today is that the pres
ent unemployment situation is being
viewed from a sick bed with a sick
mans point of view. The world has
been through the greatest war in
human history, and the economic re-
action has been one of the most severe
this nation and the world have ever
Witnessed. but, IL logic tnedlS any
thing at all. this distressing after
math should have been expected. We
in this nation thought we were smart
enough to engage in that insane orgy
of the World War and escape the
bitter aftermath. Well. we did not
escape. Now we might as we'll make
up our minds to face the facts and set
to work to dig ourselves out. And this
does not warrant the assumptions
that our fundamental economic and
social institutions are all wrong or
are responsible. Only an economic
illiterate would reach such conclu
sion.

1t ought to be clear by this time
that we cannot dig ourselves out Of
this depression by concocting magic
economic formulas in Washington,
all of which involve spending and the
dissipation of the nations patrimony
There are some simple. but funda-
mentally true. things about an eco.
nomic recovery that anyone in his
calm moments ought to be able to
understand; and the sooner they are
faced the better. They are these:
/. The condition of nation is
improved lUhen its standard of
lining is raised. This is done tUhen
there are more-not leSS-goodS
and services produced for con-
sumption.
2. This calls for more produc-
ton. more labor, more machines
at 1Oork. more employment. more
hours at lDOrk, more SdUing-not
less of these things. More employ
1nent and more production come
1Chen producers costs are re-
duced. not increased.
3. Shorter hours for labor,
higher 1UdgeS, higher tareS on
employers, higher prices for -1tD
materials are absolutely the
1vrong things to recomm end in
depression. These things, all of
1Chich are the pet hobbies enld-
mating from Washington. mean
obstacles in the tDay of getting
started again. They mean re-
Stricted production, prolonged
unemployment, prolonged de-
preston, prolonged suffering.
4. Every income Garner needs
to lUork harder and longer; and
if he has no job he must sit up
nights trying to make one for
himself. He should Sdve, not t0dSte
his substance.
The millions of people in this coun-
try must make up their minds that
they have got to dig in as individuals
and help themselves in so far as it is
humanity possible.
Forget about help from Washing
ton. There is no Santa Claus.
Life can be and is hard for most
people, and it has been hard in this
depression. But all of us might re-
member that while the World War
did us immeasurable damage. moth
ing we have suffered compares with
what the boys suffered who lost
everything-their lives-in that War.
1t is time we as individuals get grip
on ourselves. And it is also time for
the people in Washington to devote
little time to the study of elemen-
tary principles of economics.

FEARS HOLD BACK RECOVERY

Business is getting better. 1t has re-
covered to some exent from the abysmal
lows that followed the crash. 1t is striving
hard to go ahead.
How much better would business be
if it were freed from the constant threat
of political StranguiatiOn masquerading as
petition, and finally, from a growing tax
burden which is dsheartening to the in
vestment of savings, and which ominously
threatens to become cOnfiscatory?
No one can answer that question def
ritely. But it is not a coincidence that
scores of responsible spokesman offer the
opinion that these fears are tremendous
drag on the recovery movement
Fear in the utility industry is case in
point. Here is an industry experiencing a
record-breaking demand for its product
and anticipating further increases in
power consumption in the near future. And
here is an industry which would normally,
according to number of experts and past
records, be spending in the neighborhood
of $1,000, 100000 a year for plant better
ment and expansion to prepare for III
creased business.
Yet utility spending this year will not
be anywhere near that sum-because the
industry's leaders and security holders are
afraid. They are afraid of Federal policies
such as exemplified by the Public Utility
Act of 1885, now in the courts which, if
held valid, will disrupt the industry, de-
stroy investments running far into the mil
lions and perhaps billions, make manage
ment into a rubber stamp welded by bu-
reaucrats and extend the blighting hand
of officialsm over operating as we'll as
holding companies
They are afraid OF a punitive tax
by the Federal three
per cent gross revenues utility tax, and by
various similar state levies-whch makes
profitable operation ard lowest rates vir-
tualy impossible.
They are afraid of a government
policy which favorS the erection Of great
tax-free, tax subsidized, tax supported
electric plants in various parts of the coun-
try, even though private companies are
able to meet the demand ana ask for moth
ing more than chancc-just fair deal,
no subsidies, no taX-excmption.
What stake has the public in this?
Well, when we hog-tie the utilitie.Hit means
that maximum service bctterment and rate
reductions are delayed or prevented 1t
means that productive jobs are lost to
thousands Of our fellow citizens, Of whom
100000 are still unemployed 1t means
that investors lose dividends, and conGc-
quently suffer reduced purchasing power
at the expense Of all business. 1t means
that a great source Of new taxes is de
stroyed. And most important of all, it
means that officeholders are becoming the
masters, not the servants of the private
citizen and are gradually strangling the
forces of private initiative and enterprise
that make for better tinles--for real and
permanent American prosperity.
What is true of the utilities is true of
other industries. The utilities are the CEN
ter of political attack noW--any other
business may be next.

BANKERS MUM
ON ROOSEVELT
FARLEY PLAN

While all comment upon the
rlmor President Roosevelt Will
call a number of representative
bankers to the White House for
discussion of financial policies
and other subjects important to
the banking profession is being
sternly withheld by local bankers,
speculation regarding a possible
conference Is rife.
Many prominent Washington
bankers are at present in San
Francisco to attend the conven-
ton of the American Bankers
Association and some expression
of opinion from this important
gathering seems to be awaited
by Washington bankers still in
the city.
Many have for a long time felt
that there was a lack of sympathy
on the part of the AdminiStra-
ton coupled with decidedly too
much governmental competition
with private banking. On the
other hand, there are bankers
who will still go along with Ad-
miniStration policies.
No banker here would be quoted
on the possible reasons behind
the rumor that bankers would be
called in conference at the White
House, but it is known certain in
terests have imputed a political
motive to the report while others
suggest it is nothing more than
a polite gesture designed to over
come any implication that the Ad-
ministration is antagonistic to
private banking. In the mean
time, it is pointed out here that
there are q number of Federal
officials either on the program or
scheduled to attend the conven-
ton opening in San Francisco on
Monday, which is indicative OF Ad'
miniStrative interest in the bank
ing situation as it will be discussed
next week.

ATLAS MOVERS WIN
 FROM ESQUIRES

The strong Atlas Movers took the Bunker Fill Esquires into camp Erie day night by the close score of 24- 20. The Movers showed the best short passing game seen in the church gym this year and repeat edly fed the bali to McHugh, six- foot two pivot man, for short lay- tip shots.
 The Trquires, hampercd by the illness of Jack Medford, who was held scorelecs for the first time this season, were kept in the ball game by Ed Bradley, who regiakered four field goals for total of eight points and played fine floor game throughout the contest.
 The first half found the teams battling on even terms ending in a fifteen fifteen tie-up, btu the Mov- CTS cut loose in the third period to take a lead which they held till the end of the game.
 This victory brought the total of the Atlas team up to %. and leaves them yet to be defeated by local quintet. but the Esquires will at- tempt to even the series Friday, the 27th, when the Movers will again oppose them at thtc Bunker Hill church gym.
