'With or without offense to friends or foes . I sketch your world exactly a it goes."' Use of The federal circuit court of appeals at San Francisco', in an opinion written by Justice Bert E. Haney, holds that the old doctrine that a man owns the sky "is not the law and never was the law," was never taken literally and. probably came from "some remote time in the past when the use. of space above the land was confined tor narrow limits;" The opinion continues: - -' The sky has no definite location and the air like the sea by its na ture In Incapable of private . ownership. In applying the rules of law we cannot shut our eyes to common knowledge, the progress of civilization or the experience of mankind. The decision was rendered in a case brought by property owners against air transport companies .utilizing an adjacent airport, who sought to restrain the companies from routing their airplanes over the property which disturbed their peace and constituted a nuisance. The plaintiffs claimed owner ship of a stratum of air space ISO feet in height over their property and sought to restrain the companies from routing their planes over the land.' ' ' "A layman is not competent to discuss the legal phases of the decision. But if the air, like the sea is "incapable of private ownership," so is the land. The nation claims own ership to six miles of sea adjacent to" the land, and during the dry era, extended its ownership to 12 miles. Nations also claim ownership of the air above, and require license for its use, either- by plane or radio. There- is really no private ownership of land, it belongs to the state and is merely leased for taxes and reverts to the state when taxes are unpaid, to be re-leased to whoever pays the default and charges annual ly due. ... Nominal ownership of the land, really on taxation lea.e, should carry with it, a strata of air immediately overlying it, especially when the air is appropriated for commercial pur poses to the extent that operations impair land residential and business values as well as menace the lives of occupants. Such use constitutes a public nuisance for private profit and should be paid for. It will be a oni tirrle before we evolve a satisfactttfy and fair code of the air. ' ' ' '' ' ' Origin of the Isms The statement, reiterated by the republican press, that th political isms of the day, such as those captained by Dr. Townsend,-. Father Coughlin, by Upton Sinclair, by the late Huey Long, and by Lemke are all inspired by Roosevelt's New Deal and owe their existence to it. Nothing could be further from the truth. These movements, like the New Deal Itself, owe their origin to the depression and economic collapse of the old or der, the misery and discontent engendered. It enabled the self annointed prophets to devise new formulas of prosperity and capitalize discontent for their own profit by asserting it possible to create new wealth for millions by waving a magic wand at Washington. All of these movements owe much more to the republicanism of the 1920's than to the New Deal.' The republicans industriously inculcated the doctrine that government policies alone were responsilile for, the eco nomic welfare, of the average American. Even the republt ran platform of 1928 flatly claimed that prosperity was due to government, which had "given to our "people greater com fort and leisure," that "great public peace of mind which makes for-.materil well being" made possible "the payment of high wages," etc., etc., and only "by holding fast to the plans and principles which have marked republican control" could these gains be retained. So a large portion of Americans came to believe that it was the-wisdom of government, rather than the hard work of the. Individual which creates wealth, And. this faith has flowered in the various parties that united at Cleveland to chase rainbows. " , . ' Cluttering the Books . Sitting In the Salem city council chamber last evening one might easily have closed his eyes and have been trans ported back in fancy to the "blue nose" days of witchcraft In old Massachusetts colony.. There were proposed:' An ordinance to fix by regulation the opening and clos ing hours of places of business in the city and subsidize the establishment of a ring oOompetitive stores just outside the city limits. An oroinance to prohibit the shining of shoes'in Salem on Sunday. . , . ; An ordinance to prohibit unnecessary noises, .Including ths barking of dogs. , Perhaps by some miracle of divine dispensation the council hopes to invest the police with superhuman talents enabling them to enforce such nuisance regulations. Per haps they propose to depend upon the practice of witchcraft for enforcement. More likely the sum total of any accomplishment along such lines; will be to clutter up the ordinance books with more senseless legislation that nevpr will be enforced.
