HEARsAY AND GOSSIP

Whenever we make a statement that
reflects on the integrity OF man, we
should be positive that we are in position
to prove what we said
If all of us adhered to that principle,
contentious would be reduced to a mini
mum, but so many of us are carried away
by hearsay, and pass it on to the next
listener, we create our own pitfalls.
Lawyers will tell you that the two
hardest things to4.provessare Seharges of
graf and eongp piracy ana the reasoh for
that is that the receiver as-well as the giver
cot graft isSguilty ofEhaving committed a
crime, and neither,,wiH accuse. the, other,
except in rare cases, because he is aware
itwould involve himself, and, as to con
spiracy, those who take part in it. know
that the "squealer" is equally guilty, and
that when he "squeals'', the others will
turn on him and sometimes kill him. Even
In cases where they do not attack him, the
burden of proof is on him, with his former
co-conspirators testifying solidly against
him.
A former employee of the city of Key
West, who served honestly for many
years, remarked to The Citizen that he felt
morally certain that graft had occurred
locally, but that, were he put on a witness
stand, he would not be able to prove
single word of what had been told him. !,
il. And so it goes, and, going so, we
should be circumspectE The primary rule
PinS maintaining that attitude is,hot to rel
peat4zeaFsay. Hearsag, under the name of
gossip, causes more conflict in social life
than any other thing. Just let man and
a woman be identified with a legal case,
and Immediately hundred stories, with
no basis in fact, is retailed about them.

SOME PEOPLE hate THE F.P.c.

Z - = s45tSs I. -
Il is easy toSHfiderstands why certain
interests in the United States bitterly de-
nounce the. FedelSSR 9ESg sG Qissior
Recently, tRe(coMN SSSok9ered the
Montana Power Company to make ac-
colinting adjustments, declaring that it
found write-ups' and other improper
charges to the plant account of the Com
pany, amounting to $46,891, 597, or eighty
per cent of the original cost of the electric
properties as of January l, 1887.
Naturally, those who operate the
Montana Power Company are convinced
that the rights of individuals have been
thrown to the wolves and that private in
itiative and rugged individualism has been
sabotaged by the bureaucrats of the Gov
eminent.
The average individual knows that
the public utility companies of the nation,
enjoying monopOlies in most of the terri
tories they serve, are -nermitted to estah=
lish rates designed to guarantee them a
fair return on their investment Obviously,
if a power company can wangle- it's invest
ment account and secure rates that per-
NIT fair return on the manipulated total,
the company manages to increase its re-
turn on invested funds.
We believe that those who invest
money in public utilities are efaM 9SEt9 "a
fair return and that rates for the services
they render should be adequate to provide
this return. We do not believe, however,
that the owners of a.public utility, if they
see fit to double the amount of "invest-
ment" by fictitious write-ups, should be
allowed to charge rates to pay fair re-
turn on the fictitious valuation.
Public utility interests in the United
States particularly before the regulatory
legislation passed since 1882, got by with
murder. The subsidization of professional
men, the corruption of public officials, the
secret employment of propagandists, and
other obnoxious and pernicious habits
tainted the reputation of all public
utilities. the good inevitably suffering
from the evil practices of the unscru-
pulOus.

According to scientists, there has
been life of some sort on the earth in the
form of jelly-fish for about 1900 million
years. So it took that length of time for
jelly-fish..to evolve into~nan, but we still
have jelly-fish today, and why didn't
they, too, also undergo the same metamor-
phosis instead of retaining their present
form?

The proposed loan to Great Britain
is an illustration of the saying that to help
yourself in the long run, you must help
somebody else in the short run. But we
lent Great Britain some billions in World
War l. which was never repaid, in fact
not even token payment was made, so
he illustration doesn't work out at least
not in regard to Great Britain.

MILFORD, Conn. Aug 5.-The

Thomas Alva Edison Lake. son
of the late Simon Lake, said in an
interview here that in the future
only submarines will have any

All these represent purchases
such as the British made in the
United States during wartime but
which they say they would have
been forced to cut drastically had
not Congress approved the much
debated loan agreement last month
Although the next purchases de-
pend on availability of goods, these
officials estimated that the $500 ,OOO,-
900 installment would last from
three to four months under present
market conditions. ....
Rising prices for scarce American
products, they reported, are causing
some British economic experts to
favor delaying large-scale orders un-
til the cost situation shows some
signs of leveuing off.
Because American prices are
climbing steadily, the officials said
British purchasing agents are ex-
amining the possibility of placing
additional orders in countries like
Canada, Sweden and Belgium where
the American loan dollars are worth
more
Under terms of the loan. the Brit
ish have the right to spend the
American credit wherever they
choose.
