Behind the
Stock Ticker

NEW YORK The Securities
and Exchange commission is con-
sistently promoting its program Of
cracking down hard on the utilities.
The agency's action in the Electric
Bond g. Share case illustrates the
point.
Bond and Share owns about 20ee
Of American Gas & Electric. The
commission still hasn't rendered
decision on the latter companys
Indignation plan, although hear
ings were held in January and
February. Electric Bond & Share
asked for permission to delay
filing its own Indignation proposals
until the SEC passed upon the
important question of whether
American Gas & Electric is legally
a part of its system. The request
wasn't unreasonable. but the COM
mission turned ii down flat. Elec-
trio Bond & Shares conciliatory
attitude toward the administration
failed to soften the blow.
The SEC also indicates that 1t
intends to force utility operating
companies to charge off deprecia-
ton at higher rates, thus cutting
down the net earnings from which
they pay dividends to parent cor
porations. Life is obviously to
be made as uncomfortable as pos
sible for the holding companies.

THE RIGHTS OF THE COMMUNIST
PARTY

group of 65 ''promnent' persons have asked Pres
dent Roosevelt for relief for the Communist Party These
people claim that certain vglante and patriotic groups
have been interfering with the partys present efforts to
place the of its candidates the ballot in
parts of the country They specific instances where
the Reds have been having trouble conforming with the
statutory requirements. They ask the president and the
attorney general to enforce the laws covering this angle
The Communist party has enjoyed full rights in the
United States for years and know little of their pres
ent trouble The fact remains however that in the past
conclusive evidence before Congressional commit
ment namely Soviet Russia and that it takes it's orders
direct from Moscow. 1t has, in every fair sense lost its
right to participate in the affairs of the government that
it seeks to overthrow through violence Technically it
still has right to go the ballot That right should
certainly be withdrawn
And those persons mentioned above, who
concerned in the welfare of the Communist party
that of their country should most certainly be
ogued along with the other enemies of the nation Sgners
of the petition include Dr. E. A. Ross chairman of the

The question has already been publicly answered Dy
many leaders Of the party whose demise accomplish
ed by such foul means at the Chicago ravesy freedom
The is that loyalty to principles, to America

that at all hazards, the theory of the ndipensablty OF

Leaders of the Democratic Party, north east, south

the assault upon the Third Term tradition they will
port Wendell L. Wikie the Republican nominee for
President of the United States.
But of larger significance than the bolt of these
leaders of the Democratic Party daily Augmented is the
groundswel of anger and resentment which has been
aroused among citizens generally, and women pre-

MAKE DEMOCRACY WORK

Tho American people, fully awake to the menace to
institutions, willing to make any conceivable
nomc sacrifice in the of liberty and security
that doesn't mean that the American people going to
be satisfied with bills appropriatng money and
ing taxes They going to make that money
spent produces resuthat bureaucratic red tape is cut
waste reduced-delay avoided.
1t is thing to appropriate billions 1t is another
thing 10 translate those billions into arplanes and artillery
and fighting ships. Any fthe-mill production

OF making our needed weapons. The wsest industrial

and economy the essentials
This is the time to make democracy work. Americas
capacity to produce it mtess-the American genius for
achievement has itself too often other crises TO
be doubted for single second now. And that genius

welded onto it in recent years

der peace conditions. What we
have needed is stricter laws on
admission of aliens and sterner
laws, properly enforced, for handl-
ing undesirable or dangerous
aliens-that is, general laws ap-
plying to all persons of a given
class. The wrong kind of alien
legislation is a private bill, such
as a Bill of Attainder, naming
person. notwithstanding any other
provision of law" dealing with
him by legislative fiat. To say
the least, such would be a
dangeous thing to start and would
be complete reversal of our
Constitutional principles. No. we
do not need to change the Consti-
tuition concerning aliens. The U.
s. Government has full and COM
plete Constitutional power to dis
pose of dangerous aliens. For
more than a year Congress has
been working out some we'll con-
sidered and proper legislation con-
cerning aliens and some of it has
become law within the last few
days. I would like to see one or
two more bills passed outlawing
un-American organizations. While
/ opposed the dangerous form OF
the Bridges Bill-a Bill OF At
tainder-which ought not and
probably will not become law,
have earnestly supported the right
kind of measures to reach all an
desirable aliens and am happy to
report progress.
II Secretary Wallace resigns
h:s post, and If Congressman Mar
vim Jones of Texas could be in
duced to become Secretary Of
Agriculture, | feel that 1t Woulo
be a wise and fortunate selection.
To my mind. the farmers OF
America have no better friend IN
Congress than Congressman Jones.
He has been appointed to a Judge
ship and it would be real sacri-
flee for him to forego life posi-
ton with an adequate salary to
take up the overwhelming responsi
bilities, headaches and grief OF the
Job Secretary OF Agriculture. Mar
tin Jones is a good friend OF mine
and for his sake I couldn't ask
this of him, but I do believe that
it would be good thing for
American agriculture for him to
be appointed.

The Low Down From
Hickory Grove

I lust been reading about Uncle
Samuel and his ventures into
business, and boy, he takes the
cake.
The latest I been reading is
about a deal near Boston where
the Govt. wanted to start another
housing project. SO they bought
out the Bohemia Club there, for IS
thousand dollars. But in order to
get going on the project. they had
to get rid of the clubhouse. so
they sold the building back to the
Bohemians for 105 dollars. The
club moved it across the street
to a vacant lot. Brother, that Is
financing, la Samuel.
But my neighbor says, 10 don't
get too excited-calm yourself.
The Govt. gourd research makes
your clubhouse financing look sick
he says. The paper says the Govt.
looked into the idea of using
gourds for bird houses. And they
finally deducted and decided that
the size of the gourd should be in
proportion to the size of the bird,
for it was found useless to invite
a large bird to nest in a small
gourd.

or something, because Henry says,
alright, read it yourself-here 1t is
