'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.
