The Greenbelt Federal Credit Union
reports total receipts Of over 81, 100,
loans disbursed Of over $500, and mem
bership Of ll8. Income from interest
on loans outstanding will now more than
pay operating expenses and from now on
the credit union should make money.
Credit Union shares are o good invest

Fifteen loans have been made, and
there are a number Of appli cati ons now
in the process Of being approved al
ready approved, and the loans wi IL be
made on these appli cations just as soon
as the Treasurer can collect enough
money to meet them.
It is apparent, from the avalanche
Of applications for loans, that the
credit union will have little dkff1oulec

Treasurer s idea Of a perfect Saturday
afternoon would be an ave lanche Of de-
posits and applications for membership

FOR AN EXHIBITION OF SINCERITY

Let the administration if it will force the Veal
thy to Share the Wealth, but let itself Share the
Poverty.
Why should offce-holders live like princes III air
conditioned palaces while the country faces emerg
ency? ..r1 ~
Why should an Ickes draw $4,000 year, OF
more with perquistes when cotton is fetching
hardly eight cents a pound and one third of the
Americans are ''ill clad, i'll nourished and i'll
housed?'
Why should not office-holders who love the poor
be poor with them?
Once government shall set an example of shar-
ing the poverty, whatever the reactionary news
papers and the plutocrats say in protest against
being knocked the head and having their pockets
rifled by the tax collectors will be sileneed.
In ratio to their numbers, willingness to do hard
work and ability to producethe ofice-holders, from
the president down, are the best clad, best nour-
ished, and best housed class in the United States
What is more, no informed man will deny it.
Let the office-holders share the poverty.
Let US have an American exhibition of sincerity.
These brethren who love the poor at one hun
dred dollars plate Democratic dinners and from
the decks of yachts and the drawing rooms of pr-
vate railroad cars somehow do not convince US
Tories that they mean what they say.--Charleston

HOW ABOUT THE WHOLE TRUTH SOMETIME

For the purpose of making his point that glaring
and inadvertently large margins exist between the
incomes of the very rich and the very poor in this
country and to verify his contention that the gov
eminent should break in on the part of the big
bad boys who have fabulous earnings, Mr. Robert
jackson, assistant attorney general cites the case
of Alfred P. Sloan, chairman of General Motors
and the man who the other day gave away $10,-
100000 to public philanthropy from which all
classes of the American people will in the future
reap rich rewards in common.
MIR. Sloan according to Mr.. Jackson, is making
1851 900 year
And he leaves the public to infer that this colos-
sus of industry is taking that much out of the
pockets of the common people, giving little or
nothing of services in return, and netting an in
come of this impressvely large figure.
Mr. Jackson failed to pause long enough to re-
fer to the incident that out of his income of $751;,
OOO Mr.. Sloan is reported iually to be paying
to the government $37S,000 in taxes.
And the major part of this $37s,O0O which he
earns is being paid in taxes to the government
which is now sending veangelists of hate out over
the country, into the newspapers and over the
radio to create the public impression that Mr..
Sloan and those of his financial society are trying
to defeat and overthrow Observation-Disclosures

NEWSPAPERS OPINIONS
THE HIGHER, THE FEWER

For five years attempts have been made to re-
store normal conditions by means of fanciful plans,
erratic IDEAS seight-of- hand and miracles, all de-
flying the natural laws of economies We have been
asked to believe that man or a group of men
could ''plan" away lne depression merely by re-
versing the order established by the experience of
all the ages. But the experiments have been I'M
successful, the results highly dangerous We have
been swept away to the brink of precipice, 1t is
not too late to, turn back, but valuable time has
been lost and more time will be required to return
to the base of economic law for a fresh start
What have the experiments demonstrated?
Among other things, we have found out again what
we knew before, that
higher pay results in fewer employees;
higher prices result in fewer purchases;
higher restrictions make fewer enterprises;
higher rates make fewer passengers;
higher costs mean fewer consumers.
Schemes to pull ourselves up by out bootstraps
have only invoked the law of diminishing returns
Neither artificial wages nor curtament of work
ing hours will produce more employment.
Higher costs of production do not create demand
but simply restrict sales to those who have the
price.
Why cut down the number of consumers and
thereby cut down the number needed to
them? con-.
With lower costs that would enable nearly all of
US to buy what we need, surplus stocks and crops
would disappear, and renewed demand would quick
" result in prosperous production and employment
Why can we not follow the way plainly indicated
by common sense Printers Bulletin.

HEAR YOUR GOVERNMENT SOB

Oh yes, soak the rich, say We, but why soak
them to support more than 100000 offiee-holders?
Do you think that the unemployed are getting as
much of the soaked stuff proportonately as the
office-holders are getting? Did ever you hear OF
any government sharing the poverty with the poor?
Never before in American history was government
spending one half as much on ITSELF on Injuries,
aircondtoned offices, travelling in private cars
and on yachts, keeping up extensive equipages, as
it is spending now. At the time when governm ent
is heart-broken about the poor and unemployed
when one almost hear its sobs at this distance,
it Is itself living higher than at any time SINCE
1890. If you felt as government feels you would
rend your garments, or, rather, you would give
them to the naked, and sit naked except for sack
cloth on the steps of the Capitol in Washington

Iron and steel, 81 per cent;
paper and pulp, ST. per cent; lum-
Der, 49, per cent; miscellaneous
building materials, 81 per cent;
automobile tires and tubes, So
per cent; shoes, 1.3 per Gent.
Widespread opinion is that
price increases have been due
to wage increases obtained by or
ganized labor. Assistant Attorney
General Robert H. Jackson, the
administrations antitrust cru
sader, after a speech in New York
in which he attacked high fixed
prices, received a small snowstorm
of letters from persons who
blamed labor. ....
Now Jackson comes back with
the results of a detailed and au-
thoritative study by federal statis-
ticians following the 10 per cent
wage increase in the steel indus
try, the most dramatic and i'm
portant increase Of the year.
He says the wage increases
could have been covered by a SIS
per cent price increase-or 81 per
cent to cover higher material costs
due to wage increases elsewhere
but that the actual 1867 steel
price increase was 81 per cent. 80.
Whatever administration price
policy may eventually be, Roose-
welt has to accept much response
bility. NRA codes fostered mo-
nopoly and price-fixing. The fact
that consumers pay 10 per cent
more for drugs than in 1929 is
largely due to state laws and the
Patman- Robinson and Miller
Tydings laws which Roosevelt re-
fused to veto. Bituminous coal
prices are held up by the Guffey
act. You can't blame the Morgan,
Mellon, Koppers, DUPONT, U. S.
Steel, and similar groups for
everything.

wTASHINGTON.-Even the late
w Harry Houdini could never
figure out how a country could
have higher prices, less money to
spend and, at the same time, as
much or more business than be-
fore. 80,
That's the chief factor behind
more and more public talk about
prices - especially "monopolistic"
prices-and the possibility of con-
e-cssional investigations and anti
=, flaws. ,
On. IS entitled to ask: What is
this price situation about which
so much fuss is being made?
Forty per cent of the wholesale
business in commodities is being
done in goods whose prices are
higher than they were in Septem-
Der, 1920.
Against those figures, say the
anti-monopolists, is the fact that
the income of consumers is a third
lower than it was in 1929.
Some prices have gone down
since last summer. The fire
from Congress and government
officials is being directed at price
fixing industries which began to
boost prices in the fall of 1886
and now continue to hold fhem
rigid. Because of rapid techHo-
logical Improvement and labor
saving methods, it is commended
there are few if any Qualifications
for prices above the 1929 level.
The average wholesale price
level last September was 80 per
cent of 1929.
The following groups of COM
modities, as of September, were
above 1929 prices:
Coke by 24.4 per cent; cement,
II per cent; drugs and pharma-
ceuticals, 10 per cent; bituminous
coal, 81 per cent; wooden and
worsted goods. &C per cent.

But Indifference is worse for us

ality hinged in thousands of cases up

degree for many other purposes.
Surveys have been made from time
to time by the Bureau of Vital Sta
tistics of the State Department of
Health and the Federal Bureau of the
Census, to ascertain whether or not
those who are responsible for filing
such records in Maryland are meeting
these obligations. Such surveys have
shown that the proportion of unregis-

total in some counties to ten or pos
sibly more in other sections.
'This indicates total of about a
thousand unregistered births every

OF PARTICULAR NOTE

Of particular notice at the serious
fire Monday afternoon when for a
time it looked like the building of the
Sharps Motor Company and all its
contents would be entirely destroyed,
was the valuable assistance rendered
by every other garage owner in town,
and several of their workmen.
Of course, there shouldn't be any
reason why they wouldn't help, but
if they hadn't wanted to help they
wouldn't have had to be on the scene.
They worked hard in getting the sup
ply of new and used cars out of the
building, and doing all they could to
help.
There were others who helped too,
and when there is work to be done at
fire the people of Oakland and sur
rounding communities never shirk.
There was plenty of cooperation on
Monday.
Members of the Oakland Fire De-
partment did their usual prompt and
efficient service, as only the Oakland
fremen can do it.
