CHEAP POWER N E
TOLD BY STEINMETZ
BY B. |. Steinmetz

Organized labor of Great Falls and
Cascade County for many years has
looked with favor upon public own
ership of electric power, but not
until just recently when some six or
eight hundred men were thrown out
of employment by the shutting down
of the A. c. M. zinc plant because
of insufficient electric power to
operate, did sentiment crystalize to
such an extent that it is now the
unanimous opinion that the best in
terests of the worker and the com
muntiy as a whole can only be
served by the utilization of hydro
electric power developed at Fort
Peck and transmitted over publicly
owned transmission lines to insure
public control and regulation of the
supply.

BIG INCOMES
RISE


partment report on statistics of in
come for 1885 shows that improving
business has quickly increased the
wealth of those already having the
largest incomes. Number of persons
reporting taxable net incomes of
more than $1,000,000 in 1885 o to
Al as compared with SO in 1884. Total
net income of this group, that is,
after all possible legal and illegal
deductions had been made, amount
ed to $73,63O,OOO.
Another group of 100 persons re-
ported net incomes for the year of
between 100000 and $1,000, 900. Ag-
gregate net income for this group
was $73, 811,OOO.
With the rise in stock market
prices and the heavy distribution of
dividends especially in the last half
of 1886, figures on incomes for 1886
will undoubtedly show an even
greater rise in the wealth of these
individuals.
Commenting on the Treasury re-
port, Wall Street Journal (12-15-36)
makes a big point of the fact that
investment profits realized by per-
sons filing income tax returns
doubled in 1885 over 1884" amount
ing to 1904, 847, 900 as against SILL
687, 900 in 1884. 1t goes on to point
out that these figures "do not report
total investment profits realized, but
only the taxable portions as report
ed under the sliding scale now in
effect" and estimates that the total
taken in profits in 1885 must have
been around 5000 million as against
$3.50 to $275 million in 1884.
Treasury report figures on sources
of income show also, according to
Wall Street Journal, that income
from salaries and wages rose only
from So, 1885, 66, 1000 to SO, 688, 113, 900,
or less than 20 per cent between 1884
and 1885. These figures are of course
only for higher-paid employees who
earn enough in a year to have to fill
out an income tax return. And they
also include salaries reported by
h~igh-salaried executives and officers
who undoubtedly got good increases
in 1885. Even at that, this less than
20 per cent increase stands in sharp
contrast to the more than 100 per
cent increase in income coming from
the rise in security prices.

NATIONAL INCOME

employees include a wide range from

MADAME PERKINS GOES
BEYOND THE Law

Secretary of Labor Frances Perkins
went considerably beyond the limits of
the law when she advised Governor Mar
tin L. Davey of Ohio to force a settle
ment in the steel dispute by keeping the
steel plants closed and bringing steel
making chiefs to the state capital, keep
ing them there until they signed an
agreement. She not only went beyond
the bounds of the law, she exceeded the
dictates of common sense.
The Wagner act. the only law upon
which Madame Perkins could possibly
have based her advice to the governor,
provides that an employer must bargain
collectively with his employees, or with
representatives of his emplOyes-but it
does not provide, and cannot cOnStitu-
tionally provide, that the employer
MUST reach an agreement. Such a pro-
vision would place the employer uncon-
ditionally at the mercy of his employees.
He would cease to be an employer. He
would cease to exercise the slightest bit
of control over the business which was
made by his brains and money.
Ii would be bad enough if any govern
mental agency forced industrial plants
to remain closed merely because the
laborers did not want them to open. 1t
would be far worse if, as in the present
instance, most of the laborers actually
working in the plant DID WANT THE
PLANT TO OPEN. Those who oppose
opening are union agents who never set
a hand to a tool in the plants they want
closed.
And yet Madame Perkins wants the
state to keep the plants closed until
the employers are coerced into signing
an agreement
To bargain, the dictionary says, is to
reach an agreement An agreement Is
defined as a concord of opinions or
feelings" Certainly there can be no agree
ment and no bargain-thence no bar
gaining-when one party is forced into
contract.
1t is to Madame Perkins discredit that
she should suggest such force-and it
is to Gov. Davey's credit that he flatly
refused to act on her advice.

A Historic Senate FiIibusfer :. Nay

Court Issue Still Burns

WASHINGTON.-We may be headed toward
a great and historic Senate filibuster and then
again we may not.
The question has arisen in the verbal man
euvers on the court fight. The no-compromise
opponents are Dragging about what good filibus-
ters they are. and promising that they will
have at least 20 human wind machines working
in five-man shifts to talk to death any new
version OF the Roosevelt court proposal that
may be presented.
But there would be no point in a fiibuster
unless the filibusterers knew they would be
licked if the issue came to a vote
Famous filibusters of the past have depended
for success on the fact that Congress was Sched-
uled to quit on a certain day and that legisla
ton could be blocked by the process OF taking
up the intervening time by abuse of the Senate's
unlimited debate privilege. But the Twentieth
constitutional amendment has always been con-
sdered blow at the fbuster technique be-
cause there is longer any short session or
definite adjournment date.
Furthermore, administration supporters
inclined to believe that there aren't enough men
on the opposition side who will want to make
themselves conspicuous last ditch fighters
against compromise.
The question whether to bring hundreds of
Basque children to this country for refuge while
their fathers and mothers are being maSsacred
at home has been widely argued here as the
State Department sought to avoid saying yes
or no.
prominent Cn1drenS Bureau oItlclal ana
an assistant secretary of federal department
were overheard wrangling over the problem.
Those kids ought to be kept in their homes
said she.

hole is a pretty nice home for a baby with
bottle!"
There isn't going to be any big Townsend
convention here or any S5,000000 Townsend
lobby fund. And as far as Washington is con-
cerned there isn't going to be any Dr.
Townsend
Announcement of indefinite postponement'
of q convention of $4,000 Townsendites here has
been followed by the declaration of Congress-
man John S. McGroarty of California. once
official sponsor of the Townsend Old Age Re
volving Pension Plan that "the plan is COM
plete and total wreck due. I believe, wholly to
the erratic and dubious methods employed by
the man whose name the movement bore"
This and the walkout of the Townsend Weekly
staff, coupled with the over $4,000 in prize
money offered by the weekly, appear to ring
down the curtain on this extraordinary move
ment
Politically of course. Townsend died in the
election last fall in a sister act with Father
Coughln Bill Lemke and the Rev. Gerald L. K.
Smith.
