become property owner, and prac.
tically all did own property.
Within recent years a radical
change has taken place. The govern
ment is spreading itself into every
held or human activity. and with its
great army of employees has become
the most extravagant. wasteful S. end
thrift the world has ever seen. In
order to finance this spree of extrava-
gance and waste the government is
placing heavy mortgages on future
generations and laying heavy taxes
on every piece of property that the
horde Of tax gatherers can find. In adj
dition to this by raising doubts about
the sanetity of property. and by put
ting our standard If value on an II.
convertible paper basis. the govern.
ment has created such paralyzine
fear with reference to the stability of
private property that wealth owner
ship is becoming more and more I'M
attractive. The institution that was
commissioned by the Constitution to
protect the sanctity of property, and
thereby encourage property owner
ship has become the chief agent in de-
stroying that which it was ordained
to protect.
Governmental policies and activi-
ties are more and more driving people
to the conclusion that investment in
property now is hazardous. Hence
the growing sentiment that "the game
is not worth the candle" Government
is destroying the incentives that are
essential to effective property owner
ship. Why economic and save and in
vest in property that may be taken
from you at any time to meet the obli-
cations and costs of reckless govern
ment? Spend your income as you pro-
duce it; spend it before 20 produce
it. Enjoy it while you can. The habits
and ideals that grow out of such con-
dition are destructive both to the in.
dividuals and to the social order. The
character and strength of the social
order are determined by the char
acter and strength of the individuals
that compose it.
Those responsible for this untoward
condition distribute bonuses, charity.
and other gratuities. and propose pen
sions and wealth sharing. These serve
as palliatives and narcotics to close
the eyes of the simple minded to that
which awaits them. They only aggra-
vate the disease and hasten the disso-
luton.
If the objective is j communistic
dictatorship. these destructive poll
cies are logical. and easily interpreted.

In Your Interest

In a recent address, NJ w. Gle
ment, President of the Pennsylvania
Railroad, said: "If the American
railroads can tOday-and l am sure
they can-get equality of treatment
with other lines of industry before
the court of the people, and be Civ
en- the same opportunities as those
industries, under the laws and regu-
lations of those bodies created by
the people to regulate the conduct
of their business; and If they are
permitted to give rein to their vision
and their inventive genius . they
will continue on to greater things.
They will work out their own sal
walton and perform a great part in
the rehabilitation Of this country as
1t comes out of the depression, CIV
ing the people better service than
they ever had before at low rates.
This same view Is held by other
railroad officials. More important, 1t
is held by a prepOnderant percen-
tage of unprejudiced economists and
analysts who have considered the
railroad problem not only in rela-
tion to railroad service, but IN re-
lation to its influence on the general
economic scheme of things as well. |
If Congress created a railroad poll |
cy which would guarantee the lines
equitable treatment at the hands Of |
the law and regulatory agencies,
there is no question but what they /
would embark on a vast improve
ment and expansion program. Mil
lions Of dollars would be spent for
metals, fuel, concrete, timber pro-
ducts-almOst everything that Am
erican industry produces. An untold
number Of jobs would be created.
and our still vast unemployment
rolls would decline.
We can forget the railroads self
interest and think solely of our own
the interest of all peo-
pie and all business--in a policy
that would invigOrate our greatest
single industry. Then we will under
stand why fair treatment for the
rails Is one OF the most vital needs
0f the time.

BROWN DECLARES
COAL WAR
Police Ordered to Look Out
for Unlicensed Sale
in District.

Police Chief Ernest w. Brown has
declared war on bootleg coal dealers
who have been selling thousands Of
tons in Washington since the cold
weather set in without having licenses
to do business in the District.
Maj. Brown ordered all policemen
to be on the lookout for violations.
This action was taken at the request
of the coal section of the Merchants
and Manufacturers Association.
Coal dealers must pay $40 license
fee in the District to defray the cost
Of inspection and regulation. Fly-by-
night or bootleg dealers are operating,
it was said, without restriction.
At this time of year hundreds of
trucks come in from the mining sec
tions with bootleg coal which they sell
at cut rates.
The police were ordered to notify
all coal dealers throughout the various
precincts that licenses must be OBJ
tanned in 10 days. Cases against vio-
lators will be turned over to the cor
poration counsel for prosecution, it
was said.

COLLEGE PARK, Md. November
5.-Turkey dinners on Thanksgiving
day will be the cheapest in years for
Marylanders, in the opinion Of Wade
H. Rice. poultry specialist of the
University of Maryland Extension
Service.
Rice, completing q survey Of ex-
pected Fall and Winter poultry prices,
said Maryland, together with the rest
Of the country, will have one OF the
largest turkey crops in history this
season.
In addition, Rice estimated the
crop Of broiler and frier chickens will
be more than twice as large as the
average for the last five years.
He said an increase in broiler pro-
duction, coupled with high feed prices
resulting from Summer droughts, will
force the sale by farmers of un-
usual quantities Of young poultry
stock.
Fried or roast chicken dinners
even turkey dinners-on Thanksgiv-
ing. he said. probably can be served
by an average family as cheaply as
good quality cuts of red meat.
