A story is told about the United

Quantress' band-had been riot

command was that they were to be
shot on sight. They were captured
and lined up to be shot. Just before
the fatal shots were fired man
dashed through the bushes and cried,
"Stop!"
He said he was member of the
gang but had escaped. He pointed to

'while he has a wife and babies"
This was done, and the man for

One particularly important indus
try which is experiencing excellent
profit margins to the surprise of most
investors is steel. Many people felt
that with the advance in costs of
labor since 1886 the industry would
have to operate at 60 per cent of
capacity or better to show a profit.
Fourth quarter@repor of the big
steel organizations show that they
can. still make money at much low
err rate of operations. Their prices,
which marched smartly higher in
1886 and 1887, have come down only
part way, while their material cost
have dropped and their big new
plants have cut the labor cost per ton
of rolled steel.
Finished Prices Have Held
Finished prices of steel, motor cars,
bread, shirts, etc., have been marked
down II per cent, according to the
Department Of Labor's Index. Why,
with the cost of making products less,
have these finished prices not tilted
downward more sharply? Well, one
reason is that wage rates have alb
sorbed some of the savings. Another
reason is that taxes have galloped up
to new all-time highs. Higher wage
rates may represent an increase in
national purchasing power; but high
er taxes represent dangerous trend.
Taxes do not add to the nations
purchasing power or standard of liv-
ing in the same proportion as do
wages because most taxes are used
for productive purposes.
Before business was regulated
when there was free competition
among industries-the saving in pro-
duction costs was passed along to the

consumer. prime example of this
principle is Henry Ford and the mo-
tor industry. Year after year Ford
turned out better and better cars at
a lower price-due to his increased
efficiency in production. Other motor
makes had to follow suit. Wages were
increased; investors received bigger
dividends; and consumers had bet
ter cars and more money to spend on
other goods and services.
Taxes Stopping up Economies
This is a crude pattern of the pro-
gress in all industries that has given
the United States the greatest ma
terial wealth of any civilization in
any age. Now, what is happening?
The savings in the cost of prOduc-
ton are no longer being passed along
to the consumer. Instead, they are
being supped up by taxes. Some of
the Presidents princes of privilege"
would add that they are being alb
sorbed by labor, too, especially where
efficiency is being hamstrung by
labor rules. Hence, retail prices now
tend to go up even with producing
costs going down. The politicians are
spending omuch money that they
are sponging up the benefits of in
creased productive efficiency which
formerly went to the consumer.
What does this mean? Unless this
trend is stopped, it means that the
American standard of living of Sep
TENDER, 1929, or even of March, 1887,
may represent the all-time high for
the nation. Of course certain COM
panies, and certain investors will
forge ahead as they always have. But
the nation as whole has already
seen the peak of Aemrica's living
standards-unless the political spend
ers and MASTERS are driven to cover.

Capitalism Sound System
Capitalism is the soundest econo-

had; but many of the things that

have been very bad. The capitalistic
system is still sound and and is still
producing good profits. Moreover,
profit margins should continue good
this year. Consequently, after this
latest European trouble clears away.
stock prices and dividends should be
considerably better. We all are learn

GIVE CAPITALISM

II has not been given a fair
chance to work late years. There
has been too much interference
with competition. and the ma
tural law of supply and demand.
Almost every organized group
business, profession, and la
bor-has been trying to build a
fence around themselves to keep
others out who may be willing
to sell their goods. service. or
labor at lower price than the
organization thinks right. The
demand for the goods, services,
or labor is given no considera-
ton in the fixing of the price.
They would far rather sell less
goods, services. or labor at a
higher price than 10 sell more
at lower price. They consider
only themselves, and not the
welfare of the nation.
All this monopolistic fixing of
prices causes the sale of less
goods because 1t has raised the
prices of the goods and services
beyond the reach of a great per-
centage OF the consumers. The
farmers. and the lower paid la
bor). When less goods are sold
II requires less workers to pro-
duce the goods. We now have
an unnatural condition. Prices
of goods are high. while the
farmers income is very low, and
also the incomes OF a great part
of the people
The politician talks Of break
ing UP the monopolies. There are
yet too many people supporting
the monopolies so nothing will
be done.

MR.. EASTWOOD, HOW
ABOUT THIS IDEA

Editor, The Times; ] have here
problem and solution Of i'm
portance to many people in the
south central part of our city.
The problem is that of the
T r. & p busses that make the
runs to Fern Hill, Falkland and
Spanaway. The BUSES many
times on each run have to get
off the paved part Of the street
from 4sth to 56th SITS. on Yaki-
ma ave. because automobiles are
parked on the pavement.
When the busses do leave the
cement, all the passengers are
given an awful bouncing around.
II seems TO me and many others
that the automobiles should be
made TO park in the center of
the street, on the dirt. as is done
in many cities that have prob
lem such as this.
The police department could
post a few signs along this
stretch making il unlawful 10
park on the precious pavement.
This would solve the problem
and make IL much better trav-
cling.

Aliens, Better and Worse

An interesting contrast in aliens forward in Chi
cago the other day.
In federal court. 70 aliens became citizens. Men and
from many lands they cast their lot in with the
country Of their adoption like marriage for better for
worse" The ceremonial was impressive and solemn.
These one-time aliens happy to become Americans,
the country glad to have them for often these
citizens have love for the American system that has been
good them far greater than that of native Amer
who take everything for granted These citizens
keenly of their privilege in becoming Americans
but equally keenly aware of their obligations.
On the day. two other aliens came before another
Chicago court charged with petty offenses Testimony de-
that both had been in this country Is years. and
that neither had beyond application for first
papers, For Is they had accepted the privileges of
American life but fit to accept their response
biity for q share in maintaining it.
Probably It would be un-American TO demand that all
aliens Immediately take citizenship papers, to force
this demand by law But certainly it is subject which
every alien ought to think carefully in these days Of
gerated nationasm.
