Complaints on Price Fixing

"EEI IIldkAo you OtcI ~, UuI CllS Federal Trade Commission has just ordered General Electric, Westing- house and two other companies to cease price fixing with respect tc turbine generators. It has also en- tered a price fixing complaint against the Cast Iron Soil Pipe As sociation and 35 companies. (The government bought $l8000,000 worth of such pipe last year). These in- cidents and similar actions now planned are not unconnected with the administration offensive against sky -rocketing prices.
 You may also look for abolition or reduction of the four -cent ex- else tax on copper imports, first imposed in 1882 and scheduled to expire June 30, this year. This
 tax has kept copper. imports out of the country.
 Roosevelt complained about cop per prices. He said many mines could turn out copper profitably al five or six cents a pound and that others, among them the great Ana conda of Montana, could make 8 profit at eight or nine cents pound Copper lately has been selling at 27 cents a pound and-acc ccording to the president-pushing up prices in all the durable goods industries which it enters. Senator Wheeler of Mon- tana, long reputed foe of the Anaconda Company, angrily took is- sue, suggesting price reduction would mean American copper min- CTS must compete with African slaves and Mexican peons."
 Says Steel Too High
 Just what can or will be done about steel prices is not clear Roosevelt branded steel prices as much too high, owing to recent large and rapid increases. The fed eral government bought $250, 0,00O,- 900 worth of steel last year. Gov ernment purchases of steel presum- ably will be curtailed, but much is needed for the army and navy Manufacturer of some steel by the government is possible, but not yet probable.
 Although Attorney General Cummings recently said the De- partment of Justice inquiry into cOlIusive bids by steel companies
 was practically at a standstill, the
 President has subsequently asked
 him for report on progress. The investigation followed charges by Secretary Harold Ickes
 that steel companies had sub-
 mitted identical bids on steel
 needed for PWA projects, includ-
 ing New York's Tri-BorOugh
 Bridge.
 Former Assitant Attorney General John Dickinson told the House Ap- propriations Committee that "the supreme court in the steel trust and the International Harvester cases 17 or l8 years ago, laid down rules to the effect that for one concern to follow the price of another concern does not necessarily mean a viola tion of the law. And there have grown up in a good many of these industries practices which enable one concern to take its cue as to prices from other concerns, without any clear and definite violation of the law unless a good many other factors and circumstances can be established" Cummings has said, in discussing steel bids, that antitrust laws certainly need some form of reformation"
 The Presidents public prodding of Cummings indicates there may be something doing soon as to collusiye bidding.

The Whipping Post

In the state Of Washington the matter of establish
ing whipping posts for convicted Of felony sec
ond time of crimes of violence is being considered
and poll of lawyers is under way with a view to OBJ
tanning their views on the question.
The poll is being taken by the legislative commit
tee of the state bar association, and if sentiment ap
pears to be strongly in favor of this form of punish
ment effort may be made to pass legislation pro-
ividng for it, Under the bar committees plan whip
ping would be administered only to men more than Fl
years old and in sound physical condition.
Miss Reah Whitehead, Seattle justice of the peace
would have the law extended to women offenders al
$50, with the provision that in their the lash
would be welded only by women.
One argument made by advocates of the whipping
post is that this form of punishment would be dreaded
by criminals, not only because Of the pain inflicted
but also because of the feeling of shame public fog
gine would bring upon the culprit.
Maryland has statute which permits whipping I'm
der certain circumstances. while in Delaware me1
convicted of wife-beating NAV he punished but the
cruel severity which marked flopongs for offenses
in the past is no longer countenanced.

Mans Greatest Invention

1t is impossible for anybody today to imagine a
world without wheels. Yet it only yesterday in
mankinds long climb from primitive savagery to
civilization, that he learned to make wheels Long be-
fore wheels thought of, men were training and
riding horses in the great plains of Central Asa and
there are millions in the nomadc tribes which still
inhabit that region who have never seen wheel,
It is less than five hundred years since the first
wheel ever turned in America Not one Of the Indian
tribes whom the early discoverers found nhabting
North and South America had ever made or used
wheels. IT. as anthropologists now agree, the Amer-
can Indians Asiatic people who crossed over
by way Of Berng Strait above $500 B. c. the fact
that they made Or used wheels might indicate
that general knowledge of the wheel among the
branches of the human race is very recent indeed
The flaw in that argument is that the Indians did
not have horses either until the white men brought
them from Europe Wheels would be of little use with
out horses. ~~>-~-------' - - t;~~~ o'~ -
The "wild' horses of Mexico, South America and
our own West are all descended from horses brought
over by the Spanish conquistadores While the Indians
of the plains learned how to CATCH tame and ride
them, they never learned how to make wheeled We
hcles for the horses to draw Two poles with the ends
dragging on the ground and the load tied them was
the Indians nearest approach to vehicle.
One reason the wheel was of the latest of mans
inventions is that he first had to invent tools with
which to make wheels Probably the first wheels were
rol1er-like cross-sections of tree trunks.
Our world of today literally runs on wheels. Prac
tically all industry would stop if wheels ceased to
turn. To deliberately stop the wheels of industry
would in our opinion, check mankinds advance and
delay the day when the production Of wealth will be
60 great that every human beings every need can be
supplied.

Make Auto Killing Unpopular

When the final figures tabulated and released
will probably be found that 1886 was the worst year
In history so far as automobile accidents were
concerned.
More than IS, 600 men, women and children were
killed Hundreds Of thousands were injured Property
damage ran into the billions.
1t is telling commentary on OUR driving habits
that the worst accidents commonly occur on good
roads under favorable conditions of light and weather.
and involve in excellent condition. The reason
for this is simple enough Drivers exaggerate the
Safety factors" Of roads and weather and cars They
take chances They succumb to the lure of speed be-
yond any reasonable need They pass other cars on
hills and curves in and out of traffic and
around corners at horrible cost in life health and
property
Efforts to educate these drivers to appeal to their
senses OF reason and fairness and courtesy have fail
ed practically 100 per cent That being true the next
step is massed public opinion that will strengthen
traffic laws and traffic PATROLS and strictly punish
those guilty of driving that accidents If
the reckless driver refuses to mend his ways he must
be forced to. And if, after period of time, he has
shown that fines and other plnshments won't do the
work, he must be deprived of the right to operate
car on public streets and highways
1t is estimated that 10 per cent of drivers reck
less, while 80 per cent reasonably capable and
cautious Will that dangerous 10 per cent continue to
he allowed to imperi all the rest of and to make
slaughter houses Of our public roads?

$4,000 FOR
STATE RANCHERS

TUCSON, Jan. Is - (UP) - DR..
George w. Barr, acting director Of
the University of Arizona agricul-
tural extension service, reported
Arizona ranchers placed 4,7O0, 600
acres of range land under compli-
ance with the federal governments
1886 range conservation program.
Dr. Barr said 352 ranchers COM
piled with the program, while $500
others made crop soil conservation
applications.
He estimated Arizona ranchers
would be paid $4,000 for develop
ing water and complying with other
provisions of the range program
prior to Jan. l, 1887. Maximum
payments, he said, will be determin-
ed by federal forest supervisors who
will appraise the grazing capacities
of the ranges. The maximum earn
ing power of grazing lands this year
Is 50 per acre, DR.. Barr explained.
"Ranchers who are retarded In
this work due to weather conditions
so that they do not complete
their improvements by Jan. will
not be deprived of their money II
they follow up the work in the new
year." DR.. Barr declared. "They
will have to wait for payment, how
ever, until new funds are appro-
priated by congress for the 1887 pro-
gram out of VIII 'ch they can be paid
