Fighting Fire With Fire

THE British meet rough treatment with quick
L. and vigorous resistance sometimes having the
appearance of reprisals. few months ago an Eng
lishman arrested in Germany charged with
drawing pictures of a railway train. The English
soon arrested German in England on charge of
espionage airdrome.
There's no doubt that the Germans quickly would
acquire higher respect for the American passport
If they realized that for every American moested in
Germany at least two Germans would be given
similar treatment in country.
The activities OF many Nazis in the United States
are VIGOROUSLY aggressive and contemptuous toward
American institutions. No American would think of
attempting to hold public meeting in Germany to
denounce an element of the German people, nor
would it be possible to conduct meetings in Berlin
Munich or anywhere else in praise of the American
system of government
Yet In the United States, Naz groups regularly
hold meetings to arouse sentiments against Amer
lean Jews.

MUNICH, Feb 26.-There's great contrast be-
4'A tween the methods of the American and Brit

TOWNSEND PLAN DIFFICULTIES

The Townsend Old Age Pension Plan
has stirred up considerable controversy
and probably raised false hopes in the
heart many thousands of old people.
Even if it were possible to give all
citizens of sixty years of age life income
of $4,000 month, there might be some
debate over the justice of doing so, unless
we are assured that honest workers under
the magic age limit could earn at least an
equal reward.
The consensus of expert opinion, how
ever, seems to be that such scheme is i'm
possible in the long run and that, even if
adopted, would create difficulties that
would inevitably lead to a general col
lapse.
The Citizen is interested in some ade-
quate provision for the care of old people
but we prefer that this aid be approached
more cautiously. A start has been made
in many states. Such aid will be greatly
increaced under recent Federal legislation.
While the payments to the old folks may
be less than those offered under the Town.
send scheme, we have an idea that they
will, in fact, be more substantial.
Recently, the University of Chicago
published a pamphlet signed by twenty
one specialists or economics, taxation,
public welfare, and public administration.
These men conclude, after careful study,
that pensions of $500 per month are much
too large to be met by any ordinary scheme
of taxation and that the DrODOSed trans
actions tax of 2 per cent would not yield
enough to pay much more than one-fourth
of the estimated cost of such pensions to
ten million persons. Moreover, such tax,
in their opinion, would constitute a sub
stantial burden on the cost of living and
might force a considerable reorganization
in marketing practices

SELLING BAD STOCKS

With utter disregard for blue sky
laws, one citizen of New York is selling
worthless stocks with impunity, and has
made fortune doing it.
But this vendor of bad securities is
different from many others. He guar
anteeS that the stocks he sells are abso-
lutely without value, after buying them
with the same understanding.
This odd broker, R. NJ. Smythe, now
Y years old, has long been an authority
on stocks, and has the history of about
100000 dead corporations. For forty-five
years he has been consulted by persons
holding securities, and when he convinces
them that their handsome stock certifi-
Gates have no value, he sometimes buys
them at nominal figure.
Then he sells them to bankers for
window displays, to colleges for study, or
to faddists who use them to paper their
rooms. But always he gives his guarantee
that they are no good FROM financial
standpoint.

OUR HIGHEST COURT

1t is interesting to note that while 81
citizens of the United States have been
elevated to the presidency, only IL have
been appointed chief justice since the
foundation of our government-Jay Rut-
leuge, Ellsworth Marshall, fancy, Chase,
Waite, Fuller, White, Taft and Hughes.
One of these, John Rutledge, was
never confirm ed by the Senate, as evil
dences of approaching insanity developed
about the time of his appointment by Presi-
dent Washington in 1895, and Ellsworth
was named in his stead a few months
later.
. N Marshall served longer than any
other chief justice, 81 years, and died in
office at tL1 age of 80. fancy served %
yeaI' ul il his death at the age of 81. Jay,
the first chief justice, was the youngest at
the time of his appointment, being only A.
Marshall was appointed at the age of 46.
Among former associate justices of
the Supreme Court, Joseph Story, ap-
pointed at the age of 80, was the youngest,
while William Johnson was SO at the time
of his appointment. Associate Justice
Brandeis, still in active service at the age
of 70, is the oldest member of the present
court.
The high ability and undisputed in
tegrity of our highest court have always
been source of pride to every American
citizen. The court as at present con-
stituted firmly maintains the best tradi-
tions of the distinguished jurists who
served in the earlier days of the Re-
public.

The interstate commerce commission
which is a government agency has ordered
the railroads to cut the passenger rate to 2
cents mile. If the government owned the
railroads it is likely that the fare would be
5 cents a mile, and service not so good! If,
as a consequence, the bus rates are re-
duced also, travellers will continue to
patronize the bus, making it more difficult
for both railroad and bus to operate pro-
fitably. Poorer and less safe transporta-
ton will be the result.
