10 QUE oTROS DICEN j."
Y 70 COMENTO
Por Jose r. Sanfeli2

Eli la naturaleza humana hay
ceres que sen despreciables e~
grade superlativo. En- esa ia.
sificsci6n entran aqrellos lue
aprovechan todas las situac5o-
mes anormales para sacar d.
elias pingues beneficios. Y ests
es uno de los aspectos mas ne,
gros y despreciables que consi.
60 traen las guerras.
Los que revisan libros sobrt
ell asunto de las guerras y la:
carestias, descubren q. desde e.
Genesis hasta la fecha, cada ve7
que ha .sido declarada una que.
ira, los especuladores, forman.
do una legion de ayes de rapina
han caido sobre los consumidc-
res con Ell solo objeto de enri-
quecerse r~apidamente.
A esos especuladores sin con-
ciencia, nj mas Dies que ell tam
to por ciento, nj siquiera les ia
pasado por la enferma imagi-
naci6n la seguridad nacional.
TOdo su afan queda concentra-
do en- asegurar para sus cuen-
tas, en- los bancos, fabulosas y
NAL obtenidas gananciaS.
En- la guerra civil espanola,
provocada por intereses bastar-
dos, pudimos observar 10 que Ia
guerra significa. Para muchos
es ell sacrifice de los afectos, de
la tranquilidad del hogan, algu.
mas veces de la mas estrecha a.
mistad y hasta de la vida.
Pero hay otro grupo, no tan
nrmerosO, pero mas calculiSta
que cOnvenientemente trata de
aumentar sus riquezas Y para
clio hasta hacen tratos y con.
tratos con los enemigos de ~
patria.
Los INVESTIGATORS espanoles
y alemaneS han puesto al descu-
bierto, Y hoy es del dominic p1-
blicc, que en- la guerra civil es-
pamela un grupo de especulado-
res alemanes vendia sigilosa-
mente armas y municioneS al la-
gitimc gobierno de la RepGbli-
ca ESpanOla.
Esos especuladores solo pen
saban en- las monedas de orc
que iban a percibir del gobierno
espanol, no en- los alemanes que
habian sido enviados a pelear a
favor de Franco.

HERE'S MORE ABOUT
PHONE RATE HEARING
STARTS ON PAGE ONE

cast Tacoma - all about the
same distance from Tacoma.
Are you accusing the telephone
company with deliberate discrim-
nation ?" Rupp wanted to know.
81 am" Johnston replied
firmly.
Seymour Todd, representing the
Lincoln Citizens club. read pc
tition asking that the commission
deny the proposed raise of tele-
phone rates.
Public Works Commissioner A.
r. Bergersen and Finance Com
missioner c. V. Fawcett both testi-
fled against the boosting of rates,
saying that reduced rates probably
would produce more revenue even
tually for the company. They said
that is how it has worked out in
the citys light department.
Shelton's city attorney,
Charles X. Lewis also pro-
tested the proposed increase.
He explained he believed the
rates were high enough at
present and that of % per cent
increase would be prohibitive.
J. D. Daniels, who said he was
lust a citizen" caustically pro-
tested the $3.50 and SO charges
the telephone company makes for
telephone installations; also the
price difference between wall and
handset telephones.
Fred A. Smith, county as
SCISSOR, under oath, repeated
what he had stated during the
morning session that the
company has misled the pub
lie In regard TO the cost Of
handset phones. He said the
telephone company cloaks its
opera ions with so much mys-
terry that nobody can possibly
find out Just what Its earnings
are.
w. A. Dryden. licensed public
accountant, employed in the asses
sor's office, testified regarding the
earnings Of various utility con-
Germs throughout the state.
And, Jay McCune, testifying, re-
ported that most of the business
men with whom he had talked
were emphatically against the pro-
posed raise, but were willing to
leave the decision entirely up to
the public service commission.
