Carolina Power
And Light Says
Rates Are Lower

Raleigh, March l3.-Rates Of the
Carolina Power and Light company,
which pays heavy taxes Estate, coun-
ty and municipaD are lower for 70
kiloWatt hours, at least. than those
of privately owned utility companies
taken over by the Tennessee Valley
Authority with loss for more than
three million dollars annually to that
state and its subdivisions.
That's what the c. P. and L. claims
in d current news release, and it
cites the figures-Sl.00 for % XVIII
of the c. P and LIS juice against
SLOT for the same amOInt OF cur
rent from the companies recently
absorbed by the Federal agency.
The statement Of Paragraph l is
made on the assumption that the fig
ures given by the Carolina company
are accurate.
Their arithmetical calculations al
so indicate that users Of their cleo
tricity pay far less than the average
for all North Carolina, which aver
age, in turn, is under the average
for the United States as a whole.
This latter fact is attested by the
Federal Power Commission in a re-
port just issued on Average Electric
Bills for 1889"
The average bill for 100 XVIII Of
residential service in the nation last
year was S422, while the rate in
North Carolina was S4.06 and in
South Carolina 1892.

ETERNAL
VIGILANCE NEEDED
Ullinois Medical JournaD

Doctors are confronted with posslbll-
ity of enactment of the Wagner Political
Medicine bill which eventually will prob
ably add SS5, 100000 to federal tax bur
dens while subjecting physicians and
medical standards to political control.
A great man said, God gave liberty to
men only on condition of eternal vigil
ance," vigilance in emergencies as
we'll as peace time. Scientific medical
practice is in danger of being regimented
and RECOMMENDATION will be fatal to scientl-
fic medical service to the people as it has
been in Germany and England.
We need a united front; this is the
time to close ranks Doctors, dentists and
druggists should get together and oppose
to the nth degree bureaucratic centrallz-
ed government control that is sure to
make a political football of medical serV-
ice.
Bureaucratic trend in government serv-
ed to make still clearer the fact that the
issue before the American people with
respect to medical care is this: Shall
patients and doctors retain their freedom
of Judgment in the matter of medical
care. or shall this freedom be surrender
ed to some governmental agency?

Not because He healed the sick or

said love your enemies, do good

them that misuse you. that you
may be the children of God.

THEY HANG SEPARATELY
(San Luis Obispo Telegram-Tribune)


Ben Franklin said a mouthful at the
signing of the Declaration of Indepen-
dence when he flipped off those grim
words 1--WE must all hang together, or
assuredly we shall all hang separately"
In France, certain elements refused to
hang together Today they are being
hanged separately.
The Comite des FORCES included all the
most grimly- ly-reactionary elements of the
French steel industry, including no doubt
some men who believed that little dis
cipline would be good thing for France"
The Confederation Generate du Travaile,
Frances principal labor union included
many elements and leaders who leaned
heavily toward syndicalism, the sitdown
and general strikes.
Neither those manufacturers nor those
left-wing labor leaders really bent their
backs to support the republic in its hour
of need. Each placed its own group in
terest above the common interest of all
So now the republic is fallen and its sue
cessor has broken the backs of both the
organizations Because they Stubbornly

PATERNITY WARD
Washington, DC, Starr

The latest medical wrinkle, at Rich

ward. No longer do prospective fathers
in Richmond have to proWl up and down
bleak corridors, chewing nails and strew-
ing cigaret butts. They have a room to
themselves, with real ash trays, checker
games, radios and even toy trains with
which to play There are deep, soft rugs,
so that when overwhelmed by the usual
pacing instinct, they will not wear out
their soles. Everything possible is done
to alleviate their terrible ordeal, so that
it is almost a pleasure to become a father
These rooms should have existed long
ago. They probably would have, but for

MORE ABOUT
THAT BOMB SIGHT
Death of British Ambassador
Lord Lothian recalls an unwritten
bit of history connected with the
still mysterious British deal for the
u. S. bomb sight
Working in Washington to get
the bomb sight for Britain was Sir
Charles Ross, English inventor who
brought out the famous Ross rifle
in Canada during the last war.
Ross made a number of efforts to
get Senator Burton K. Wheeler,
isolationist leader, to relax his OPP
position to release of the bomb
sight. Wheeler laughed these ef-
forts off.
About month ago, however,
Ross jubilantly told friends, We'll,
we've got the bomb sight Some
one ferried the remark to Gen.
George c. Marshall, chief of staff.
who explained that an early-model
sight had been released to Britain.
Ross only grinned when inform
ed of that. you've got an army
and a navy bomb sight" he said.
The services are bit jealous of
each other, and each one claims
its sight is the better. We say we'd
just as soon have one as the other.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 20. - Am
bassador Joe Kennedy is expected
to play a front-page part in the
isolationist movement once the
Christmas holidays are past.
Kennedy has been in close touch
with the America First committee
the militant group which does
for the isolationists what the White
committee does for the pro-ally
crowd. He hopes to step out in the
open as a spear-head of this move
ment as soon as possible after the
first of the year.
Right now one thing is holding
vering by President Roosevelt.
When Kennedy handed in his
resignation as ambassador, FDR
asked him as a personal favor to
keep the title until new man
could be appointed and confirmed
Kennedy agreed. To date no .such
successor has been picked.
Which has Kennedy stymied.
For although he isn't going back to
England, and Is no longer on the
payroll, he still is technically the
u. S. ambassador-io be exact, by
diplomatic usage, he is Roosevelt S
ambassador. Hence he cannot lift
his voice in opposition to F'DR S
foreign policy, even though he is
straining at the leash to do so.
This may explain the long delay
in naming a new ambassador.
