Incredible Stupidity!
It that death sentence bill against the folding companies isn't
revived and passed, it won't be the fault of the holding com
pany officials!
The spokesmen and big1 wigs' in this branch of the public util
ity business are doing everything they ca'ri to lose' the' fen
friends they have left.
Last Sunday oni of them challenged President Roosevelt to
make a campaign issue of the death sentence bill, and boasted
5,000,000 stockholders with 10,000,000 vote's would beat F. D. R.
to a frazzle.
Yesterday another, fat jowled, bald-headed and gimlet
eyed, H. C. Hopsoh, refused to tell an investigating committee
what he made out of the holding coftpa'ny racket, clambered up
on his high horse, and defied the senate fo serve a subpoena, on
such a plutocratic and eialted personage as HIMSELF!
1.V the opinion of this paper, the' so-called death sentence meas
ure was needlessly extreme. The conference substitute
measure promises to answer every useful service, and be entirely
effective in curbing holding company ABUSES.
But if at the next session of congress, ah aroused public opin
ion DEMANDS this deatl; sentence' bill, the leaders of the public
utilities will have no one to blame but themselves. By their arro
gance, stupidity, and complete lack of even the rudiments of
political sense, they aslced for it and certainly deserve to GET
it.
IMAGINE a public utility executive' so dumb that he would
challenge the President of the United States to make an issue
of the holding company racket, and boast that in such an event,
he and his associates would emerge victorious. Such a man
shouldn't be subpoenaed ag a1 witness; he should bo rushed to
the nearest emergency ward and have his head examined.
And this utility chieftain, not denying his million dollar
lobby; not denying that while his stockholders got nothing, he
pulled down his two millions; not denying forged telegrams,
"cigar box" gifts, lino" all the shenanigon and flim-ffam that
have been frowned upon and discredited, by all the TRUE lead
ers of big business in this country for nearly a1 generation'; hav
ing the CRUST to tell fhe people of this country, through their
representatives in congress, that they had no right to pry into
his private business, his record or his methods, and he couldn't
remember what his income had been since 1922!
He couldn't remember! Remembered it was about $100,000
13 years ago, but couldn't staVe what it had been any single
year since!
"TVIIS paper has always believed and still believes, that
S business in this country, big or little, holding type, operat
ing type or any other type, is entitled to what every individual
in the country is entitled to, fair treatment and a square deal,
nothing more and nothing less.
But how can the public utility business expect fair treatment,
expect anything but Unfair arid retaliatory treatment,
when it is under the control of such a bunch of nit wits, bung
lers, and thick-necked bulls in the economic chind shop, as the
men who during the past few weeks have appeared as its cham
pions and defenders.
The holding company, properly administered, we believe has
a legitimate place in the modern economic set-up. But in too
many instances it hasn't been properly administered the tnsull
fiasco for cxairiple. The sensible course obviously is not (o de
stroy all holding companies, buf to reform all of them, make
them behave. -
OUT that will NOT be done extinction, riot reformation, will
be the inevitable outcome, t'Nt.ESS the iype of character
arid riiind now in control of this branch of the public, utility busi
ness, is taken by the scruff of the rir-ri; ,ind kicked into the mid
dle of next week, riot by U'riclc Sam but by the powers that ho
in the industry itseif.
Many amazing things have hapepried in public life during
the past decade. But considering the growing public resentment
against the light and power utilities the most astounding single
phenomenon in all this time has been the revelation during the
past few weeks, that those still In control have fofgotton noth
ing, learned nothing, are still living, economically, socially and
ethically in the middle ages, true spiritual legatees of the ,lim
h'isks, the Jay Gouldd, and that founder (if the Vanderbilt fam
ily, whose idea of public service and social responsibility was
cogently expressed in that familiar phrase, "The public be
damned !"

THE SCAR LEFT
Blindly following the lead of the
Jour, of the American Medical Asso
ciation which Is used to promote the
editor and his friends, many uneo-
phlatlcatod doc
tors have tit ken
it a true that
(d I a
thermy) of the
tonsils leaves too
much scar which
Ls likely to cover
up Infection and
cause trouble in
future.
Some such
thing may have
happened in cer-
ttln cen. Unfortunately many throat
specialists have attempted to employ
this method without having received
proper clinical Instruction by a inna
te r of the method, and Inevitably
their work has been bundled. It Is
hardly fair to condemn a method
because amateurs have done harm
with It. The Journal of the Ameri
can Medical Association was and Is
clearly prejudiced upon this question.
The brilliant editor, him.wlf with
out knowledge or experience to speak
of, undertook to decide the policy and
view of the organized profession in
the early days of diathermy. I was
advocating it to my readers, and that
waa the A. M. A. loud speaker's cue
to condemn it. Now he can't change
his attitude too suddenly, you see,
so the dumb doctors in the sticks.
Inarticulate In the oligarchy, still
think the newfaneled metthod Is
"danceroiw" or "doesn't et all the
tonsil" or "cause dense scar w'nleh
covers over the focua of Infection."
I can assure readers that the dia
thermy method of extirpating tonsils
and adenoids is nnt more likely to
leave excessive or troublerOmc scar
tissue than la the old Spanish cus
tom, the guillotine and snare, or dis
section. I challenge any physician,
surgeon or specialist to controvert
thla statement. I'll produce a case of
vicious scar formation following stan
dard surgical removal of tonsils for
every caw of that sort the bras boys
can find following electro-coagulaMon
or diathermy extirpation of the ton
sils. For that mattei. I'll undertake
to produce official report of fatali
ties following or In the course of the
atandard surgical tonsillectomy for
every case of even unsatisfactory re
sult from diathermy all from the
practice of good reputable specialists.
I ask no pardon for dwelling on
the scandalously high mortality of
surgical tonsillectomy In the hands of
the best physicians, surgeons or spe
cialists In the country. We ar yet
to hear of a fatality fmni dfethermy
extirpation of the tonsils.
Remember. I warn you agalnat the
amateurs and th bunglers who pur

Mr. Jenkins holds that Ford makes

It Is axiomatic that you cannot get
anything for nothing. But the profit
system Is squarely based on that par
adox. What Mr. Jenkins rails to un
derstand is the contradiction In cap
italist production. Commodities are
produced when there is a desire for
them by people with money. Their
buying number diminishes as the
system reaches maturity in propor
tion as profits cease to be profitable.
Capitalism can produce use values
In great abundance but It cannot

Comment
on the
Da fs, News
By FRANK JENKINS
A STRAW In the wind:
Voters of the first congressional
district of RJiodi Island elect a RE
PUBLICAN to fill a vacant seat In the
national house of representatives form
erly held by a DEMOCRAT.
THIS paragraph from an Associated
Press dispatch tells the story:
"With Roosevelt policies directly at
isavie, Charles F. Rtsle, a former Judge.
was swept to victory by a margin of
more than 10.000 vote's over Demo
cratic State Treasurer Antonio Prince.
Risk had campaigned on a platform
of 'Repudiate the Roosevelt adminis
tration. "
. . ., . -4-
FROM Washington, center of all
politics, comes this statement
from Senator Hastings, chairman of
the REPUBLICAN senatorial cam
paign committee:
"The election tn Rhode Island
shows that when the American peo
ple find that American principles
and American liberties are In danger,
they stand ready to crush those who
are responsible for putting them In a
dangerous position."
THAT Is partisan Political comment,
designed to Influence votes, it
Isn't literally true. X more accurate
statement would run something like
this:
"When the American people have
been promised things that are Im
posslDle for ANYBODY to perform,
they are pretty sure to go sour on the
promlser when they find they have
been misled."
THE New Deal, and the politicians
engineering It, promised every
body everything riches without
work, security without thrift, pros
perity by the simple process of pass
ing a law.
These promises are Impossible of
fulfillment because they run con
trary to human nature. People are
beginning to" find that out.
Thrtt, In this writer's Judgment, is
the lesson of the Rhode Island con
gressional election.
COME things are fundamental
Water, for example, won't run up
hill of Its own accord. Daylight fol
lows darkness. When you drop ttm
rock off the roof of your house. It
falls DOWN, not up.
Everybody, by EXPERIENCE, knows
these things to be true.
THERE are other things that are
equally true. Here are some of
them :
There ls no such thing as some
thing for nothing. You can't spend
yourself rich. Wealth Is created by
the application of labor to natural
resources. You can't share what Isn't
produced.
There is ample proof, over centuries
of human experience, that these
things are true, but from genera
tion to generation people FORGET
thst they are true and listen hope
fully to demagogues and Impractical
dreamers who ASSERT that they are
true.
Among the New Dealers are both
demagogues and practical dreamer's.
TF.OPLE have listened to the New
Deal promises of something for
nothing, of wealth without tabor, of
sharing what Isn't produced, hoping
against hope thst this time they
MIGHT be true.
They are beginning to find out by
the sad experience that they aren't
trut and CANT be true.
The reaction to that experience Is
beginning to set in.

spoke on It. They demanded that
the bill be included In the program
of legislation to be enacted before
the end of the session.
Thla provoked sparkling rejoinders
not only from Senator Smith of South
