tenths of this nations population, including the
"embattled farmers of America?
Well possibly not, but let's not be too sure OF
it. If the farmers of this nation, the business and
professional men, the nOn-unOn workers and the
American Federation Of Labor do not watch, they
NAV open their eyes all too late and find them

Mussolini with small per cent of ltaly's popu-

mating all Italy. Lenin and Trotsky snatched all
the power from the Russians and ruled the millions
with a rod of iron and glove of steel, and their
successors are still doing it, And no man who does
not wish to face firing squad dares lift his voice
in protest. Hitler did, and is doing the same thing
to the Germans.
Is there now on foot a well devised plan to en-

BABSON'S WARNING

Unless the constantly widening gap between gov
eminent income and outgo is closed, writes Roger
W. Babson, one of the outstanding American eco
nomists, six financially ruinous consequences will
result:
First. continued deficits ultimately lead to fear
of government credit.
Second, unSound public credit means unwilling
ness to lend the government money to pay its bills
Third, the treasury is forced to print paper
money to pay it's deficits.
Fourth, the paper money falls like meteor II
value as prices shoot sky-high.
Fifth, the buying power of salaries, wages, saw
ings accounts insurance policies and bonds drop tc
practically nothing.
sixth the ruined, starving middle-clasS take the
reins of government by force to bring order out OF
chaos"
Mr.. BabSon does not think it too late to put the
governments financial house in order, but quick
action is essential
On a per-person basis federal expenses since
$3.50 have increased from SO to $55 year.
The average American family of five has an in
come of 100. 1t owes its share of the soaring
national debt, $l,375. In addition to owing this
debt it must pay $275 annually in federal take:
alone.
Only an aggressive public demand for retrench
ment and a balanced budget can save US from the
"sx steps to ruin" Mr.. Babson describes.-Green

But now, the fact that the c. !.

employees into its ranks is causing
a certain amount of excitement
not to say concern. The specter
of an army Of federal employees
owing allegiance to or taking or
ders from John L. Lewis is CAL
culated to give the willieS to any
one who normally spends much
time worrying about John l..
Lewis.
There are two unions of fed
eral employees already formed.
Neither bears close resemblance
to a labor union and both bar
strikes and picketing as weapons
although one-the American Fed

DERHAPS the most interesting
i point of the proposal of some
government employees to get into

this group has been conspicuous
in a campaign against government
economy. The A. F. G. +. sus-
pended seven of its lodges because
they staged a mass meeting
against what they called foolish
false economy" Officials of the

them in their campaign.

RAILROADS CAN'T MEET DEMANDS
OF LABOR

The railway LABOR unions are now MAX
ing wage demands on the operators which
would cost 600 millions dollars annually.
This is sum equal to the net earnings OF
all the railroads in the United States last
year. If these demands are granted the
net earnings, or profits, of the country s
railroads will be wiped out. Many of the
roads are now operating at loss. This
arrangement would simply multiply their
losses. The roads in most favorable finan-
cial position probably would have their net
earnings accounts wiped out by this added
burden.
In simple language, the roads are asked
TO add to the expenses of operation sum
equal in the aggregate to, or larger, than
the total earnings of all the country's
roads.
The reason advanced for this unreason-
able demand, by the railroad workers
through their representatives, as reported
by Railway Age magazine, is that railway
men are the most conservative workers IN
the country and if they are sugared in this
fashion they will aid in saving the country
Dor.
On its face that statement appears so
absurd that citizens acquainted with rail-
road men and their organizations are slow
TO accept it. 1t is made here on authority
of Railway Age.
Railway Age says at would bankrupt
the railroads and drive them into govern
ment ownership to grant the demands now
being made"
Business men of the country not en-
gagged in railroading would like to secure
the magic formula by which the railroad
unions expect railroad management to con-
tinue operations when expenses are larger
than receipts. Yet that is exactly the con-
dition they are seeking to impose on rail-
road management. If they figure the adj
dition of six hundred millions dollars to
expense accounts can be passed on to the
public, they will have to do some more fig
uring.
No big business in this country is in a
more precarious position than the railroad
business No business faces such wide
spread, gigantic and destructive competi-
ton. If the railroads were permitted to
raise freight and passenger charges to
cover this unreasonable demand, the net
result would be more business for other
means of transportation and less for the
roads and the final outcome would be
smaller earnings and bigger losses for the
roads.
Of course, if anybody is interested in
forcing government ownership of railroads
this is the way to achieve that purpose
and that, of course, from the point of view
of certain citizens, would be highly desira-
BILE. If the government owned the rail
roads wages could be boosted as high as
they could be forced through political ma.
nipulation by more than million railroad
workers and their friends; and the deficit
would be covered by taxing the people Of
the United States.
Of course, if the government could MOI
make the railroads pay (who 80 foolish
as to believe the government could make
them earn profts?) the losses would bt
covered by Uncle Sam and taken out OF
the hides of the tax payers.
