Canada- Is Booming

.r ' Business iu Canada is boom
ing, new li rli records indicated
in many directions. Tliat is
pood news for this country.
Prosperous neighbors arc the
best.
Canadians know how to do
some things that, like the ser
pent on the roek, arc too much
for us.
In Canada, government can
and docs own and run railroads
successfully. They do not ad
mit, as we do, that our public
men lack intelligence and hon
esty, needed for public owner
ship. In Canada they consider the
vscrs of hydro-electric power
first, even the small farmers,
and the power companies come
second.
Here our power companies
come first, and the consuming
public nowhere. The consumer
to the big company is what the
young Frenchman was to Na
poleon, simply useful material.
It is some comfort, not much,
to realize that tho law of emi
nent domain can always adjust
that in case the people ever
learn to vote.
Porcupine Camp, in Canada,
is "delivering gold at the rate
of $.")0 a minute." That seems
like a great deal of money, but
is not such u great deal, in these
days. ....,.
Fifty dollars a minute, eight
hours a day, !ilH) days a year is
only 1(7,206,000 yearly.
W'c have citizens to whom
that would seem a pitifully
small income.
The late Judge Gary, before
this country got into the war,
said of one prosperous Ameri
can: "I know he has at least
twelve million dollars a month
income, because I have, bor
rowed that much from him for
the steel company. I think his
actual income is nearer twenty
millions a month."
"Only" 12,000,000 a month
would be $144,000,000 a year,
5 per cent on nearly three bil
lions. You cannot judge by income
tax returns, because the great
fortunes are held in corpora
tions, and care is taken not to
lit the money out in taxable
dividends entirely in accord
ance with law.
AVc do not appreciate how
prosperous this country is, or
what good reasons big men
have for wanting to keep the
little fellows employed, well
.paid and contented. The crowd
contented, is the big man's in
surance against trouble.
It's possible to be too popu
lar, as little babies, kissed iil
, most to death, can testify.
, The Prince of Wales also knows
It. Hritlsh fox hunt and steeple
chase authorities have decided to
keep awBy crowds of hysterical
women that rush to see the prince
when he rides, shrieking encour
agement at him and his horse,
frightening the latter so that mis
takes In jumping and dangerous
falls result.
'ie youn-i prinve, good-natured,
even with mob0 foolishneKS. has
read "The Haechtie." and probably
thanks heaven that he is a modern
popular tlnee, not ancient DJony

Chicago's hottest and most vitu
perative primary campaign.
The Hun ahone bright as more
than 1.000,000 voters started to
tho polls, and election officials
Hid that the fine weathr, added
to the interest in the campaign,
would renult In a heavy Repub
lican vote. Interest in the Demo
cratic primary was not ho intense
because hends of the ticket were
for the most part unopposed.
Ilefore the polls had opened
Titus Haffa, alderman recently
Indicted for violation of federal
prohibition laws, and candidate
for Republican committeeman on
the' ticket of Mayor Thompson,
was reported missing, and his
headquarters believed he hao been
kidnaped.
ft. 11. Taylor, a Dcneen pre
cinct ciKiimltecman, was kidnaped
by several men who forced him
into their autombllc as ho was
delivering ballots, beat him se
verely and then shoved him out
into tho street.
Squads of detectives were
rushed to several precincts short
ly after the polls had opened, on
reports that election officials were
permitting the stuffing of ballot
boxes.
A negro was s'ipt, another kid
naped, and a third reported kid
naped In election disputes in the
twentieth ward In the negro dis
trict. The negro was shot In the
arm an ho woe on his way to
tho polls.
The must trouble during early
hours was reported from the
twentieth ward, where hoodlums
were reported chasing voters away
from the polls. Detective squ.idi
and election officials were sent tc ',
investigate conditions. j
A worker allied with the Ren-1
ator Deneen Republican organiza
tion was also reported kidnaped
from one precinct in tho twen
tieth ward.
A newspaper photographer, very
Indignant, said hu hud been
beaten by two women election
workers when he tried to take
pictures. 1 le added that a man
came, to l heir aid or they would
not have succeeded in giving him
a black eye.
From one precinct came, a re
port that a policeman was. mak
ing a general nuisance of hims"if
and from another a note was sent
to the election commission jrs In
the county building by c judge
who said tho ballot box over
which he presided was being
stuffed but he was afraid to say
anything about it.
Despite tho reports of dH'j:b
unees, mostly of a minor char
acter, the commissioners did not
seem perturbed and stated that
there was on more disorder in the
early balloting than In previous
hotly contested elections
Resides 0000 police on active
duty at the polls, more thin 350
detectives armed with rifles wait
ed at the county building to speed
to any part of the dry where
they were needed.
A telephone report from an ex
cited woman reported trouble in
a precinct on the south side and
a squad of police was hurried
j there, while from a precinct r.f
the twenty-fourth came a report
j that the judges wore busy mark
j ing ballots and placing them in
the box thenif elves.
John Verdon. Thompson -Crowe
candidate for state representative,
wns arrested on complaint of a
Deneen watcher, who said he was
beaten by Verdun who had ques
tioned his credentials.
One of the reported kldnaplngs
fizz'ed out. lliiffa. for whom his
headquarters hunted all night In
the belief he had been kidnaped,
was found by a detective squad
asleep in a Republican club in his
ward.

The fighting has been over a contest for control of Cook county. Kunning on tho Deneen ticket
for state's attorney. Judge John A. Swanson narrowly escaped death when his house was bombed, but
it was the bombing of Senator Deneen's bouse that brought the warfare to a climax. Senator Deneen

sassinated.
Louis I,. Kmmerson is of the Deneen faction, running for the gubernatorial nomination against

SAl.EM, Ore.. April JO. (P)
The recent mulcting of OrcKon citi
zens, particularly In Willamette
valley counties, by bond salesmen
who have skipped the country with
good securities, dishonestly obtain
ed, caused Msr. D. McAllister, state
corporation commissioner, to send
out today a notice to Oregon people
to be on the alert for these agents.
The report of the arrest of at least
one of the agents had been receiv
ed. Pending further developments
his namo Is withheld from publica

In Marlon. I'olk and I. Inn counties
are cited In particular. From a
Polk county citizen one of the
salesmen obtained $6300 worth of
stock of a reputable automobile
concern and has skipped with the
securities. He obtained them by
making the holder believe he could
sell them for him nt a profit.
In a similar manner, a (iervals
man was relieved of several hun
dred dollars' worth of securllles,
while two persons In l.lnn county
netted t he salesman 3ii00 and $1,
500 In good bonds. In both In

they could dispose of the securities
at a profit.

Private Car Oil Trial
Gets Under Way. i
WASHINGTON. April 10. (ft)
M. T. Kverhurt of Puehlo, Colo.,
who trnnaported $:i3,0U0 In Liberty
bonds from ! Larry V. Sinclair to'.
Albert I(. Fall after the leane of!
Teapot Dome, was asked to toll htH
Htory today at Sinclair's trial for
conspiracy.
Kverhart, a son-fn-law of Kail,
took the Hlund soon after the op
posing attorneys had concluded
their opening arguments and tentl
lied that he first met Sinclair nt
the Kali ranch in 1921, but they did
not discuss business. Prior to meet
ing Sinchiir again in Washington
he said he and Kail decided to sell
a third interest In the ranch for
$2.13,000 and Sinclair's name was
mentioned 'as a possible buyer.
Everhart said that he borrowed
the Rtock certificates from the
Thatcher company, where they
were deposited for collateral, and
brought them to Kail In May. 1922.
After he arrived at Kail's office,
Sinclair and .1. W. Zevely, his conn
pel came there and Kverhart ac
companied them lo Hfnclair'H pri
vate car, where he received a pack
age of bonds.
"I gave Secretary Kali these
bonds," said Kverhart slowly.
Government charges that Harry
K. Sinclair had paid Albert . Fall
a total of $293,000 as bribes for oil
leases and the assertion that Hie
defense would show this money
was paid in legitimate business
deals, today were laid before the
Jury trying Sinclair by opposing
counsel in the case.
The trial got under way with
Owen J. Roberts, for the govern
ment, painting a black picture of
conspiracy between Sinclair and
Fall, and with a prolonged defense
of the oil operator and the former
secretary of the Interior by Daniel
Thew Wright, of the Sinclair legal
staff.
Roberts said the $293,000 in four
payments to Fall wre made under
"clrcumsttanres of secrecy and
suspicion." which the J:ry would
