TURKISH DRUG TRADE
While seeking agreement on a plan
J for general disarmament and the
i banishing of war, Geneva steadfastly
has failed to reach any agreement
among the interested powers as to
the outlawry or control of narcotic
drugs, their production, and manu
facture, distribution and smuggling.
Now comes Turkey, though not a
member of the League of Nations,
proposing at least the combatting of
;the illegal drug traffic. The Angora
! Government wants "to do all in its
power to prevent drug smuggling."
jand is ready to co-operate with for
eign countries in this respect.
But Kemal's Government is up
against serious obstacles. In Istan
bul, for example, there are three drug
factories which manufacture annu
ally large quantities of cocaine, mor
phine, heroin and other narcotics.
These, though under Government
supervision, are owned and managed
by foreigners. According to the
League of Nation figures, the annual
combined output of these factories
greatly exceeds legitimate medical
requirements. The League, so it says,
would like to see this production cur
tailed. But the Turkish Government,
with an assured demand from Chris
tian countries for the product, is
loath to give up what constitutes one
of the country's principal riches
opium.
There is much smuggling. Legiti
mately and illegitimately, the world
continues to be cursed by a traffic in
a something more deadly and devas
tating than any traffic in human be
ings ever was. Until the Christian
countries of the world, England in
particular, place the ban on this in
fernal business, restricting it to the
requirements of the medical profes
sion, it will thrive and thrust its
'noisome and deadly ways throughout
ithe earth to the degradation ;;nd
I death of million. There is no cx
jcuse but the excuse of greed and
i soulless indifference to human wel
fare for the continuation of a scourge
more dreadful than any inflicted '"
battle or disease.

The fellow who honks his horn in
ia traffic jam is a full brother of the
ichap who rushes to the bank to draw
'out his money evety time lie hears a
wild rumor.

Bold bandits continue to prove
that there are more ways of getting
money out of banks than by stuffing
their portfolios with bum notes and
worthless mortgages.
: o:
One paper asks for a more appro
priate name for bootlegger. It's a
title of long standing, originating
when men wore boots. Perhaps "hip
notist" might answer the demand.
:o:
Florida has the longest tidal shore
line (not including islands), with
1.987 miles. The state having the

Oklahoma is a picturesque and

'picturesque and spectacle loving. Her

Even her governors are picturesque.
:o:
The sun. we read in a scientific
article, loses weight at the rate of
several million tons per day and we

who would like to find out how it

It seems so inexplicable, now,

didn't want to stop drinking because
you got a law to that effect? More
: inexplicable that anybody fancied
they would.
:o:
Pear of making mistakes has made
; failures of as many men as mistakes

by success among men.
:o:
The senate gets more arrogant.
Senator Walsh, of Montana wants the
president to return the nomination
of one of the member of the power
commission to the senate for recon

:o:
The lower house of Congress has
decided to have "committee hear
ings" on the Senate $25,000,000
drouth relief measure. In the mean
time people are starving to death in
the drouth-stricken area.
:o:
In the days of pioneering in the
west when the Indian was a source
of terror to traveling companies and
scattered communities, some of the
more astute leaders found that It
was cheaper to feed the natives than
to fight them.
:o:
In event a special legislative ses
sion is held, it will not be held un
til late February. That's something
to be thankful for, anyhow. If the
lawmakers get or. the verge of star
vation prior to the call maybe the
Red Cross will come to their aid.
INVESTOR AND POWER INDUSTRY
A short time ago Martin J. In
sull, president of the Middle West
Utilities Co., issued a statement In
which he charged that "certain poli
ticians, journalists and college pro
fessors" had, through their mislead
ing statements, intimated investors
in the electric power and light in
dustry, and thus endangered pros
perity. Some unkindly critics, read
ing this statement, might recall that
a few years ago the electrical util
ities, through an organization in
which Mr. Insull was a prime mover,
engaged in a nation-wide propaganda
campaign, in which particular efforts
were made to "sew up" the journal
ists and the professors through a
lavish expenditure of funds. The crit
ic might point out that, in view of
the notorious activities of the Insull
organization in Illinois politics, this
disapproval of politicans hardly
conies wth the best of grace. But.
despite the atmosphere of hokum
which envelops Mr. Insull's state
ment, the issue which he raises of
the relation of the investor to the
power industry is too important to be
dismissed lightly.
Certain basic facts must be recog
nized. In the first place, the electric
light and power industry is one of
America's great industries. Most of
it is in private hands, with a capital- j
ization in the neighborhood of $10,
000,000,000. It is steadily growing,
and has some 3.000,000 stockhold
ers, many of them persons of small !
means. Whatever decision Congress
may reach a"'out Muscle Shoals,
whatever New York State does about t
the development of electricity from
the St. Lawrence, and whatever head
way the movement toward Govern
ment ownership may make elsewhere,
for many years to come an important
part of our electrical utilities will be
run and developed by private enter
prise. Therefore protection of the
investor and encouragement of fur
ther investment in order to finance
developments are of great import
ance. There is no desire on the part of
the critics of these utilities to get
something for nothing. They know
that the investor is entitled to his
return, both as a matter of justice
and as a practcial problem In insur
ing the expansion of industry. But
they believe that responsibility does
not end with the relations between
the public and the investor. The
heads of great corporations which so-
licit the funds of the public are to a jthe warrior's armor, a personal ex
certain extent trustees with public Iperience led to his fight for a prin
responsibilities, and where they are jciple: he dined on oysters that vio-
in an industry where natural condi
tions make competition impossible,
their responsibility both to the in
vestor public and the customer pub
lic becomes doubly great.
What is the situation which we
find in many of our power utilities?
Through a system of non-voting stock
and pyramiding of holding companies
the investor has been disfranchised
and control concentrated in the
hands of a small group who frequent
ly make little or no cash payment
for their stock. A recent Government
report cites the case of the control of
an investment of $375,000,000 by
$1,000,000 of stock. The case, the
extreme, is symptomatic of a situ
ation which has alarmed many care
ful observers of public utilities fi
nance. In the frequent shufflings of
securities which seem to characterize
public utility holding company fi
nance, assets have too frequently
been written up and additional se
curities issued. The thinking inves
tor may well ask: where is the in
vestment that will justify the earn
ings necessary to pay dividends, in
case the fairness of existing rates is
challenged by public authorities?
Millions are spent on propaganda.
The managing director of the Nation
al Electric Light Association says:
"Don't be afraid of the expense. The
public pays the expense." The in
vestor may well ask whether he has
any right to expect the public to pay
the expense. When certain leaders in
the industry fight any attempt at ef
fective regulation of the network of
intercorporate relations, it would be
surprising if some doubt did not arise
as to how well faith was being kept
with the public and with the in
vestor. The investor does not derive his
suspicion from the politician, or the
Journalist, or the professor. The
facts are written where he who runs
can read: unchallenged figures and
documents in Government reports.
The critics of the utilities need not
draw on Moscow for their inspir
ation when they ask for an effective
regulation of the tangled maze of
financial relationships. The United
States Supreme Court said, nearly
15 years ago, in regard to railroad
regulation, that "there can be noth
ing private or confidential in the
activities or expenditures of a car
rier engaged in Interstate commerce,"
and that the powers of governmental
investigation "extend to all activities
of carriers and to all sums expended
by them which would affect, in any
way their benefit or burden as agents
of the public."
The politicians, the journalists and
the professors are facing realities
when they ask that the affairs of the
power industry, no matter how en
tangled by holding companies, shall
not be beyond the scope of public
regulation. This is as much for the
protection of the investor as it is for
the protection of the consuming pub
lic. If the leaders in the power in
dustry will recognize this they need
have no fear about the continued now
of investment funds into that great
industry. St. Louis Post-Dispatch.
:o:
POLITICS!
By attending strictly to business
of an urgent nature and neglecting
that distracting game of politics for
the time being, congress could com
plete all necessary work before ad
journment of the short session on
March 4. But that is asking a lot
of Congress, especially of the upper
branch of Congress as now consti
tuted. No doubt something will be
left undone until too late; in fact,
senate insurgents propose to see that
something is left undone. Why? Po
litics!
Emergency relief measures, which
President Hoover and his cabinet and
a congressional majority believe are
adequate until the seventy-second
Congress convenes next December,
were passed before the Christmas re
cess, but still the senate talks of
more relief spending, while supply
bills essential to carry cm the gov
ernment for another year remain un
passed. While the senate quarrels
over relief of those already provided
for, it holds over the heads of thou
sans of government employes the
threat of unemployment, or at least,
many payless months.
Filibuster and other tricks to de
feat and delay will not be tolerated
at such a time. Resorting to them
at a time when the cost may be com
puted in human suffering, would de
serve severe treatment at the hands
of the voters. This is a time when
reason only should appeal.

A CRUSADER FOR HEALTH
Alfred W. McCann, who died in
New York a few days ago, was a
; veteran of those stirring days when
pure food legislation was a crusad
ers' cause and not an accepted fac
Like many another who has donned
lently disagreed with him. Immed
iately McCann set out to learn why
food vendors were permitted to sell
commodities unfit for consumption
or harmful in effect. He joined Dr.
Harvey W. Wiley in the fight that
led to the pure food and drug law.
and was vigorous in investigating
packing plants, canneries, dairies,
bakeries and other sources of food
stuff. His aggressive brought more
than 50 suits for libel. McCann won
them all. in addition to hundreds of
other actions he brought against vio
lators of the food laws. Known as
of one the nation's leading author
dticte on foods, McCann of recent
years had devoted his time to writ
ing and making radio addresses on
the subject. The present generation
owes much of its progress in health
and well-being to such pioneers in
this important field.

THAT LOS ANtrLLLb IU1AL
After threshing it out for two
days, the jury finally agreed that
Daisy De Boe did steal from her em-
ployer, Clara Bow.
The trial was a strange spectacle.
Clara Bow's manner of living wasi20). Township Twelve (12) North,
presented in much detail, until at I Range Nine (9) East of the 6th P.
last Judge, to use his own expres-
sion. decided to "take a hand in it"
deploring "the orgy of mud-sling-ine"
he said the question to be de
termined was. Did the accused steal
' ary, 1931, Catherine Coleman, Hettie
money from Clara Bow, as charged? G Wright. Ella May Marshall. Ada
Before the Court's intervention it was If. Gullion. Isa O. McLeese Mattie J.
Clara Bow who. apparently was on j Bailey, Lula A. Landon, Myron E.
trial, not the defendant. Indeed, the!C.olfman an? flme,r- Coleman, filed
I their amended petition as Plaintiffs

front pages of the land how much said petition being to quiet the title

she had to tell and how rapturously Sewrlbed real estate, to-wit:
eager she was to tell it.
After the Judge spoke, the show
abruptly ended and the trial began.
jWe do not know why the Judge did
not speak at the outset. We do not
know, either, why Clara Bow's at
torney did not "object." The ways of
the law are beyond the layman. But
the unfairness, gossipy giggling and
injustice of the exhibition staged in
the Los Angeles trial is another blow
at public opinion's respect for the
law.
:o:
Congress may appropriate $25,-
000,000, in spite of the protest of the
President, to feed the starving, but,
as tersely remarked by Will Rogers
in his radio talk last Thursday night,
it will become available only after
thousands have perished.
