murder. expressed belief today he

Tallmadge had collapsed seven

Frances Birch, a red-haired widow

"The present relations between the government and the
utilities are little short Of being a disgrace to the country"
wrote Walter Lippman recently, in a ~syndicated article entitled
''The Utility Mess.
Continuing, Mr.. Lippman pointed out that the utilities have
made by public officials to formulate a policy which would cor
rect abuses, fairly regulate the industry in the interest of con-
sumner and investor, and permit it to develop normally. The new
utility policy said, in effect, Utility A must be eliminated.
seeks to penalize and destroy the best-managed companies be-
cause of the shortcomings of the few. Little or no effort was
made by publie officials to formulate a policy which would cor
rect abuses, fairly regulate the industry in the interest of con-
sumner and investor, and permit it to develop normally. The new
utility policy said, in effect, Utility A must be eliminated.
Therefore let us destroy Utilities E, G, D, E, and so on, in order
to get rid Of A.
"a statesmanlike and workable utility policy to quote
Mr.. Lippman again, would have been based on the principle
of an alliance with the enlightened members of the industry
against the unenlightened members" 1t will be remembered
that responsible utility executives have been among the first
in pointing to the need for regulation to restrain the wild-catters
within their industry. And if federal officials showed a will
mgness to proceed along reasonable lines, these executives would
work with them to the ultimate of their energies and abilities.
Mr.. Lippman is known as a liberal. He is without political
connections. He is not a tool of the powertrust, that stock
phrase applied to brow commentators who have the courage
of the wen-known men, in all fields, who are sickened and dis,
gusted by political hypocrisy as expressed in utility legislation.

FIREMEN FACE DANGER
OF DUST EXPLOSIONS

In the past 10 years there we're at least 1886 dust explosions
in connection with the milling, processing and handling of pro-
ducts of agricultural origin. At least 81 persons were killed,
693 injured and property damaged to the extent of 100000
an average of about 100000 for each explosion.
There are $4,000 industrial plants in the United States in
which dust explosions are possible. These factories normally
employ 1.325000 persons and manufacture products having an
annual value of 10 billion dollars.
A number of disastrous explosions have occurred during
firefighting operations. Sometimes these have taken place
when fremen attempted to remove contents of bins or other
enclosures that contained materials in powdered form. In other
eases, the falling of a floor or the dropping of the bottom of
storage bins forced a dust cloud on the fire. Again, a heavy
pressure stream of water striking a pile of powdered material
has been known to throw the dust into the flames and bring
about an explosion. Another possibility is the chemical reaction
between the water and certain types of metallic dust.
David j. Price, engineer of the Z. S. Bureau of Chemistry
and Soils, recommends that the contents of bins in which a fire
ed; that firemen systematically inspect factories to inform
themselves on the dust explosion hazard, in order to avoid unnec-
exposure to danger; that a spray is preferable to the
heavy pressure of a hose in wetting explosive dusts stored in
piles; that firemen make a study of dust explosions that have
occurred during firefighting operations; that firemen in indus
trial centers acquaint themselves with the dust explosion pre-
vention work of the U. S. Bureau of Chemistry and Soils, max
ing use of the Bureaus publications.
In view of the present upward trend in fire losses, as re
ported by the National Board of Fire Underwriters, these pre-
cautions and all others tending to bring about greater fire safe
|ty are of the utmost Importance. To firemen they may mean
life or death.

GOVERNMENT WITHOUT RED INK

In a recent address, Governor Frank d. Fitzgerald of Mich
igan told about Government Without Red Ink"-using his
own state as an example of how that happy condition of affairs
can be reached. And in his talk, he made some points that,
simple and even obvious as they are, seem to have been forgot
ten by a good many high officials.
81 have not come here the governor said, posing as the
originator of some magic formula that will cure the country of
its ailments, economic and otherwise. There is nothing Of the
miraculous in what we have done in Michigan. We
are as plain as an old boot. We've just gone on
following certain rules Of simple arithmetic and fundamental
aconomics-rules that you and I learned in our grammar school
days; rules so plain it would seem almost ridiculous that an
occasion would arise for anyone to get up in public and ex-
pound them.
by keeping the operating expenses of the state govern
ment within its income, by refusing to create new taxes or ad-
ditionai debts, by actually cutting down taxes in some instances,
by trying to find new ways to save money instead of spending,
we've managed to balance our budget.
We've thrown away the red ink bottle, forever, l hope
just simple horse-senseY Certainly But in these days of
soaring taxes and public debts, and of prodigal waste of the
taxpayers hard-earned dollars, it would be a great thing If
more of the men entrusted with government affairs sought Ito
find new ways to save money instead of spending it,
Michigan, like Kansas, is fortunate in having officials who
realize that every bin contracted must eventually be paid, and
that the money with which to pay must be taken from the peck
cts of the people. May their tribe increased

BOOSTING SURPLUS" INCOME

What does the thrifty family do that wants to get to
get ahead in the world9 1t studies how to save by eliminating
waste. IL it spends fifty dollars a month for food, a ten percent
saving on price would mean an increase of $500 per month in
the family purchasing power.
The great bulk of the average famlys income must be
closely budgeted-so much for food, so much for rent, SO much
for clothing, and so on. 1t is reliably estimated that not over
ten percent of that income is Surplus that can be used for
amusement, savings and similar things beyond mere existence
Take a family with an income of $3.50 per month. If it
now has a surplus Of $500 per month, that is 10 percent Of its
income. If its food bill is $4,000, a 10 percent reduction would
add $500 to its surplus, an increase Of 80 13 percent.
Thus, a mere ten percent saving in the monthly food bill
would increase our average family's "surplus" by onethird
more money for everything that make life peasurable and
secure. And when millions of families have such an increase
in their surplus, the total runs far into the billions each year
purchasing power released for other uses.
In this simple illustration is proof of the soundness of mer-
c~handising methods that cut food costs by eliminating over
head and middlcman waste.

sible to conceive. First of all, there are government bonds.
Next there are bonds and stoeks-usually preferred-issued by
basic industries, industries supplying commodities and services
that are in permanent demand. Then there are mortgages on
farm and urban property, and large real estate holdings. And,
finally, loans on policies and a geat cash reserve maintained for
the purpose of fulfilling insurance contracts in spite of market
conditions that may make it inadvisable to dispose of securities.
Diversity of risk Is the very essence of life insuranees in

failure has occurred within almost every industry, large and
small, practically every life Insurance. company has come

PEOPLE AGAINST FRANKENSTEIN

Observers of press common and public opinion throughout
the nation are forcibly impressed with two facts: First, the
desire Of the people to maintain the neutrality Of this nation
and avoid war and foreign entanglements, and, second, the
growing demand for balanced budgets and reduced taxation.
Congressman who have just returned to Washington after
some months at home among their constituents, have felt this
sentiment. They know that nothing causes greater worry to
millions of neutrality-suspicious. and Democrats alike-than
the soaring national debt and the Frankenstein menace of new
and higher taxes. They know that the general thinking public
is beginning to understand that eventual tax reduction is es-
sential to permanent prosperity.
It's a rare Congressman who doesn't keep his ear to the
ground, and it's also a rare Congressman who hasn't heard
from his constituents that an economy program in Federal
government is now desired, and is indispensable to increased
employment, industrial expansion, building activity and relief
for the land owner.
The trend of public opinion was well demonstrated by the
general approval Of the Presidents recent statement on neu-
trality and his expressed belief that new or higher taxes were
neither necessary nor desirable.

SERMONETTE
BY Arthw . RhlnOw

A severe cold has gripped
city and country. The frozen
snow defies the sun, and the
wind is disporting itself in icy
blasts. AS / look out upon the
wintry scene, l am deeply
thankful for Gods indoors.
Gods out-of-doors has been
extolled in prose and poetry,
and justly SO but God may be
indoors as well as out-of-doors.
True, the shelters of tent and
wall are man-made, but the
urge to build and furnish them
Is as truly divine as the creative
force expressed in field and
woods. It would be difficult to
conceive of a home that is not
indoors. Even prehistoric man
chose beautified a caves where
his wife could nurse her child
rem in safety, and where he
could better concentrate as he
began to ponder the meaning
of things and cultivate his inner
life. And certainly in modern
times there is hardly a home
without Gods indoors.
Nor q church. 1t is not as
easy to worship out-of-doors as
indoors, even though enthus-
lasts speak rapturously of the
temples of nature. To be sure,
he burning bush has never ceas-
I'd to be afire with God, and
the still small voice is really
never still, but few are attuned
to the divine as Moses and
Elijah were to most of us nature
is too distracting to help us
think of God. Therefore, man,
even in the early periods of his
existence, built himself temples,
their architecture emblematic
of wistful longings and precious
traditions, in order to help him
concentrate upon the divine.
Cherish Gods indoors. Without
it we shall never be able to ap-
preciate Gods out-of-doors.

MINING PROGRESS GOES ON

The mining industry had some tough going even before de-
preston, labor difficulties, discOuragng tax laws and ~unfavor-
able legislation hampered it.
Yet mining progress never ends. A glance at the program
for the forthcoming convention of the American Institute of
Mining and Metallurgical Engineers proves that.
New t~echique, new processes, new inventions, make it pos
sible to recover higher grade metals, at lower cost. Much pro-
gress in this direction has already been achieved-more pro-
gress is just over the horizon. Ores that were considered worth
less "a few years ago are now being successfully developed.
America is fortunate to possess a progressive mining in
dutry-an industry which is as essential to our life in times of
peace as in times of war.
